Although the game and this season's Premier League title battle have been declared over, the reporters did not stop there, they were more concerned about the referee's two decisions in the game, and it was clear from the slow-motion replay after the game that both decisions were very debatable.

According to Wenger's status and surname, he would never remain silent about such an outrageous sentence, and the media had already set up long guns and short guns at the press conference, waiting to record the shocking remarks that came out of the professor's mouth.

But it turns out that Jianghu bigwigs like Wenger Ferguson or Mourinho, their minds are definitely not something that a group of little paparazzi can guess, Wenger, who thought he would be angry at the press conference, walked in like a nobody, and talked about the team's performance in this game, key players such as Xiaofa and Descartes, and the play of the opponent Chelsea, but there was no word about the referee.

At first, the reporters thought that the professor was going to save his anger until the end before venting it, but when the professor was about to withdraw after talking, they were shocked to find that Wenger really didn't plan to talk about the referee of the game.

What is this? Is Arsene Wenger the kind of person who is willing to suffer dumb losses?

Of course, the reporters would not let him go, so immediately a reporter couldn't wait to stand up, stopped the professor who was about to leave, and then asked his doubts on behalf of all the media at the scene: "Mr. Wenger, what is your evaluation of the referee of this game?" ”

"The referee?" Arsene Wenger held the seat handle behind him with one hand and asked in feigned surprise: "The referee of this game is very good, the game is very exciting, what can I say?" ”

"But ...... those two penalties," the reporter obviously couldn't hold his breath, and directly tried to lure the professor to complain about the two key penalties.

But what he didn't know was that the professor had just met someone in the back of the press conference, it was the vice-president of the Football Association, Krus, and Kurus only said two words to the professor: "Congratulations on your qualification for the Champions League, and hopefully next season you can go further." ”

Then Arsene Wenger had already understood that this was the Football Association courting him, and at the same time hinted that as long as he did not pursue today's decision, the Football Association would give him some compensation next season.

What compensation?

It's up to you to play your imagination, maybe it's a key decision in a key game, maybe it's the arrangement of the entire league schedule, in short, as the Football Association, if they want to give Wenger a little sweetness, it's easy to starve.

As Arsene Wenger, who has been in English football for ten years, although he feels disgusted by the Football Association's approach, he must also admit that this is a very normal thing, in the final analysis, the Premier League involves too many and too wide interests, and the Football Association does this for the interests of TV broadcasters, advertisers, sponsors, and other related communities.

The benefits of deciding the champion one round earlier and the winner in the last round are certainly not the same.

And the Football Association sent someone to comfort Wenger after the game, which is also for the sake of the professor's status, and try it as a weak team like Southampton and West Ham United.

Anyway, the result of this game will not affect Arsenal's ranking this season, and at the same time, there is no hope of rushing to three, the Champions League qualification is worry-free, and he can be "taken care of" by the Football Association next season, why should Wenger bother with these things?

Only those reporters who don't know the inside story still don't give up, still trying to dig out his dissatisfaction with the referee from Wenger, and then brew a blow to the Football Association, but they never thought that Wenger had already taken the benefits of the Football Association and didn't plan to be this bird.

Seeing that no matter how much he was pressed, Wenger did not make any comments on the referee's performance, and at this time the reporters in the venue finally remembered, in addition to Arsenal's head coach Wenger, and Chelsea's head coach Jose Mourinho.

Immediately someone turned their attention to Mourinho, and a reporter asked him a very sharp question on the spot: "Mr. Mourinho, what do you think of the referee of this game, do you think Chelsea won the draw with the help of the referee?" ”

It's a pity that this group of reporters seems to have forgotten what Mourinho's nickname is, "madman", if it is a little more crazy, it will be called "rabid dog", even UEFA President Platini dares to bite, not to mention this rookie reporter who does not know whether to live or die?

So Mourinho immediately opened his big mouth and retorted to the reporter in the audience: "Do you really know football? Did you watch that game? My team had 11 shots on goal in the 90 minutes of the game, five of which went inside the woodwork, didn't we qualify for one? I don't understand what your logic is, I think my players played very well in this game, they were tenacious and we deserved the draw. The only thing to lose is that Manchester United won and we missed out on the title this season, but next season we will come back and reclaim the title that belongs to us! ”

"Then what do you think the referee's decision ......" The reporters in the audience were obviously much weaker, but for the sake of eyeballs and news, they still had to hold on to muster up the courage to ask this question.

"The referee is good!" Mourinho really went crazy, his eyes widened, and he raised his voice: "I said, I will always only focus on the game itself, and I will not make any comments on the referee, this is the end of today's press conference, goodbye!" ”

The magic bird turned away forcefully, ignoring the boos coming from behind him.

At this time, even the reporters in the audience had to admire Mourinho's cheekiness, he actually said in front of everyone that he never evaluated the referee?

Remember the Champions Cup match in February 2004? Chelsea faced Barcelona and Drogba was shown a red card in midfield, and Mourinho said after the game that he saw Pep Guardiola walk into the referee's lounge, suggesting that Guardiola instructed the referee to make an adverse decision against Chelsea.

After that game, poor Swedish referee Flicks received a flood of death threats from Chelsea fans, which led to the early termination of his refereeing career at the 2006 World Cup.

In May 2005, Jose Mourinho claimed that Garcia's stunning goal had never crossed the goal line at all and that it was a "ghost goal" after the match against Liverpool, thus successfully diverting the media's attention to the referee on duty.

Just past March 07, Mourinho scolded the referee for being "raised by a bitch" in the match with Tottenham, but he flatly denied it afterwards, which also caused an uproar after the game.

Now he is cheeky enough to say that he has never made any comments on the referee?

The media think that Frix is simply unjustly killed, and it is an unjust case that can only be cleared by flying snow in June!

But even though the media tried hard to stir up the matter, because the managers of both teams were silent about the two decisions, in the end the matter died down after two or three days of hype, after all, even the parties were unwilling to pursue it, so what was the use of the media shouting hard?

The score of this game also announced that the Premier League season has entered the end in advance, and the remaining final round is estimated to be only paid attention to by Sheffield, Wigan Athletic, Fulham and West Ham United.

The game has reached this point, people thought that in the final round of the game, there will be no more spectators entering the football stadium to watch the game, but what they did not expect was that on May 13, in the final round of the English Premier League, Arsenal hosted Portsmouth, the 60,000-capacity Emirates Stadium suddenly poured into more than 75,000 fans.

Fans are here for one purpose, and that is to see off their king, Thierry Henry, who has been at Arsenal for eight seasons.

(The following passage is partly copied from World Football, and every time I read it, it is particularly sad, with some modifications, dedicated to the great king of guns.) ）

In August 1999, a frustrated Henry travelled from sunny Sicily to cold, damp London to begin his journey as a gunslinger.

In the blink of an eye, the years have passed, and the 22-year-old has become a 30-year-old veteran.

380 games, 226 goals, 4 Premier League Golden Boots, 2 league titles, 49 unbeaten matches.

He's the captain, he's the leader, he's the legend, he's the shooter, he's the king of the guns.

The days in Highbury are not too long, but the years will eventually grow old, and people will eventually part.

Parting always comes suddenly in an infinite set of expectations and promises.

Henry sat there, the familiar applause gradually fading from his ears, and in his nostalgic gaze, he saw the figure of the 22-year-old.

The boy who used to be galloping, the shooter who used to compete with each other, they are aging, and they are about to part.

When the fireworks go off, the Highbury who once belonged to the king is long gone.

People can only remember it slowly in the drift of the years.

At the age of 30, the moment you lean over and kiss the turf, we finally say goodbye to a legend in Highbury.

We may gradually forget, and we may occasionally remember.

Those years in their prime, that unforgettable love song.

But we will always be here, and we will always wave the flag, just waiting for you.

Arsenal, please don't cry for me.

……

The parting scene is always tear-jerking, and no one pays attention to the score and process of this game anymore, and when Arsene Wenger replaced Thierry Henry from the pitch in the 70th minute, the fans in the stadium stood up and gave him a round of applause.

Only this time, it is no longer because the king made a wonderful performance, just because this is his last battle, from now on, this past year, it should be a good day and a good time, even if there are thousands of styles, who will tell it?

With tears in his eyes, the emotional Henry kept applauding the audience around him, until finally, the ocean in his eyes could no longer hold his momentum, and the choking in his throat made him unable to make any sound, he could only kneel down lightly, leaving an affectionate kiss on the turf of the Emirates Stadium.

At this time, no one wanted to disturb him, and even the Portsmouth players on the field stopped, crossed their waists, and quietly watched Henry leave tears on the sidelines.

At the same time, the mood of the audience on the sidelines finally reached its peak, and they began to chant their own slogans indiscriminately, some cried and begged Henry to stay, some covered their mouths and could no longer make any sound, and more could only cry while shouting Henry's name hoarsely.

The entire Emirates Stadium is completely shrouded in the sadness of parting.

And it was not only the 75,000 fans in the stadium who were affected by this emotion, but also all the players on and off the field.

As a football player, if you can enjoy an honor like Henry, then you will have no other regrets in this life, right?

Even Descartes on the field clenched his fists, until this moment, he finally understood the charm of football, a husband should be like this, if he can be like Henry, what is the regret of death?

Lying on the ground, Henry seemed unable to hold back his tears, his head reluctant to lift from the turf for a long time, until the Arsenal staff stepped forward to help him up, he covered his eyes with his hands, and slowly followed the staff back to the game lane.

When Henry's back disappeared, there were mournful shouts from the stands, and the fans understood that when they said goodbye, they might be enemies, and this situation made the fans who were used to cheering him on the pitch feel embarrassed.

Hello King, King, goodbye! (To be continued.) )
