Yumo's return didn't change anything right away, and the atmosphere in the locker room remained dreary. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The situation is clear.

11 games, 6 wins and 5 draws is really not a result that can be shown, not to mention being pulled away by Chelsea by 4 points, the team's form has obviously declined, and the game is tired and ugly. Although the current team lineup looks much neater than some time ago, the state does not mean that the recovery will be recovered, and the right time and place are the same.

What's more, the next schedule is so difficult, and the opponents are stronger than the other, how can there be any reason to be optimistic?

You Mo is indeed magical, with him, miracles can become commonplace. But this product has just finished playing the Asian Cup, not to mention the fatigue of the journey, everyone knows how powerful the FIFA virus is. Far from it for the time being, the form of the French gang quartet is far worse than last season, and Wiltord is even more stop-and-go injuries.

It is not easy to remain undefeated in this situation, and the winning streak is pure fantasy!

There are many people who hold similar views, the players don't say it, they clearly understand in their hearts, the media has no scruples, and after the home team was equalized by Leeds United at the last moment, negative remarks filled various platforms, like a black cloud pressing the city.

With the club likely to go public in early December, this month's results have become a bellwether for the opening price and an indicator of stock movements. Under such pressure, there is no sign of a rebound from an exhausted team, and the pessimism that ensues is taken for granted.

“...... The unbeaten league run is unsustainable, and Arsenal is about to collapse! ”

“...... The FIFA virus is raging, and Mo's poor state is difficult to reverse the decline! ”

“...... The timing of the listing is not well chosen, and Arsenal shares may be given a cold reception! ”

Remarks like these put an oppressive atmosphere in the dressing room, and Wenger could hardly see a smile on his face, even if he saw Youmo smiling and greeting everyone, he couldn't untie his frowning brow.

As a head coach, this situation is the most difficult to deal with.

The players are working hard, their attitudes are more correct than one another, but the opponents are more excited than one another, and the field is a tough battle, and Rao is an iron man can't bear it!

Now that the team is unbeaten in 49 league games, even if there is no new European Championship title, any league opponent will be eager to try to see if they can break the golden body in one fell swoop and engrave their name into the history of football for 100 years!

In addition, the Champions League opponents should not be underestimated.

Whether it is Fenerbahce, the Turkish Super League, or the Bundesliga pharmaceutical Bayer Leverkusen, or the seven sisters of Serie A, Rome, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, and it is not too much to say that they are the group of death!

Although there are no opponents in the same class, these teams have their own strengths and weaknesses, and the spirit of facing the defending champions is very strong, and it will not be easy for Arsenal to make it out of the group.

"How does your body feel?"

On the first day of his return, after training, Arsene Wenger took the initiative to find the dressing room and called out the guy who was chatting with Ljungberg.

"It's fine." You Mo answered casually, waved goodbye to his teammates, and followed the head coach out.

It's rare for this guy to impose his views on others, and this one is no exception, and if Arsene Wenger hadn't come to his door, he would have continued to wait for his time.

This may put the team in a worse position, but in his view, a change in mindset needs to be stimulated enough to be effective, otherwise it will be superficial and the same mistakes will be made in similar situations.

Rotation is a must for the giants, and it is also a litmus test for measuring the head coach. With Arsenal having always had too little to do, Arsene Wenger has often faced the dilemma of having no rice to cook, and passive rotation and no tactical alternative have become the norm.

This situation can lead to a manager preferring to trust an in-form main player rather than a weaker substitute when the squad is at full strength. Older veterans, in particular, are forced to use them purely in an emergency for perfectionists, and will not be used as a tactical surprise soldier at all in the face of different opponents.

This kind of tactical thinking with me as the main focus can maximize the strength in most cases, and it can also create a set of excellent starting lineups. However, in You Mo's opinion, killing chickens with a knife is a pure waste, and Tian Ji horse racing is the most suitable tactic at the moment.

It is not easy to change his usual style, and he is ready for a long battle, but as soon as he sits down in the office, Wenger gets straight to the point.

"The current situation of the team is not very satisfactory and the league opponents this season are much better than in the past. It's been a long season and it looks like there's still plenty of time, but I don't think it's going to end well. Let me tell you what you think, I seem to have not anticipated the difficulties enough, and lacked the means to deal with them. ”

These words are quite weighty, they can be called heartfelt words, in You Mo's opinion, there is no distinction between the young and the old, so he hurriedly said: "Your anticipation of difficulties is actually very sufficient, but I regard the league championship as a task that must be completed, and the pressure on you is too great. ”

"Nope! It's none of your business! Arsene Wenger shook his head, his eyes glazed over, "Even without the pressure of going public, the league title is a goal I have to achieve!" ”

With a wry smile on his face, he sighed, turned his gaze, and looked out the window.

A sorrow poured out of the blue eyes, wanton and pervasive.

You Mo saw it clearly, sighed, and said, "Sometimes it's like this, the more you want to get something, the more you can't get it." Things that seem not difficult are much trickier than they imagined, and goals that can be accomplished suddenly become unattainable. ”

"Huh?" Wenger froze for a moment, then turned his head sharply and looked straight at him.

"You've probably experienced that too, haven't you?" You Mo nodded slightly and said carefully, "In that kind of long-awaited pre-game atmosphere, everyone seems to be working hard, hoping to reap a happy result at the end of the story. ”

"Yes, yes!" Wenger's voice suddenly raised, and his eyes widened, "Is there something wrong with that?" ”

"There's nothing right or wrong, it's just a matter of method." You Mo didn't have any expression on his face, and his tone was still calm, "The better the wishes, the more urgent the mood, but most of the time, the urgent mood will mess up the performance and turn things that are not difficult into tricky things." ”

"Mean?" Wenger's eyes were wide open, and the bloodshot inside was clearly visible.

You Mo couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he turned his gaze, looked at the gloomy sky in North London, and said slowly: "If you exert too much force at the beginning, your stamina will inevitably be insufficient." Football is always a battle between two teams, there are too many uncertainties, and trying to overwhelm the opponent in every game will only make you tired and turn the means into the goal. ”

"Yes, I'm aware of the problem!" Wenger took a deep breath and looked at the same time, his eyes were far away, "Actually, think about last season, if we had played more resolutely, maybe we would have won the championship a few rounds earlier before you were out!" ”

"Not necessarily!" You Mo laughed and shook his head, "If you had made changes when I first came to the team, I might still be at the level of my first season!" ”

"Haha!" Wenger also laughed, as if he had suddenly found a joke that was right to his appetite, and his expression was very exaggerated, and it took a while to say in a normal tone: "Well, this is the best reason to comfort yourself." Still, I'd like to hear what you really think of me. ”

You Mo smiled, his face became serious, "You want to win too much, maybe the record is better so far, and the team can travel lightly." ”

Wenger was still smiling, shook his head and said: "You are still the same, you always refuse to speak ill of me, I would rather hear 'Wenger is a nuisance, stubborn, living in dreams!'" ’”

As soon as he heard this, You Mo immediately got up, patted the wall and put his ear on it, and asked by the way, "Is this wall sound insulation?" Wouldn't I be on the front page early the next morning? ”

"Don't worry, no one dares to eavesdrop on our chats outside." Wenger instead smiled and said seriously: "You have thought of me to the maximum, how can I ignore your true thoughts." ”

After speaking, he exhaled a long breath, as if he had suddenly figured it out, and looked over with burning eyes, "Say, this is the first and last time, tell me what to do." ”

You Mo paused slightly, and took a deep breath before he could speak in a normal tone.

"Tell the media that Arsenal's goal is only to win the league and they don't care how many games the team goes unbeaten. The record is open and any team with quality is welcome to suspend it, preferably before surpassing AC Milan's record. ”

......

Ahead of the 12th round of Premier League fixtures at the weekend, Arsene Wenger's comments sent the whole European football scene on fire.

In fact, the race for the Premier League title has nothing to do with other European giants, but Arsenal are the new European champions and have beaten almost all the top giants in two seasons. Hearing this kind of remark at this time, they really couldn't help but feel the urge to step on it.

“....... The Premier League is so lacking in competition that it would tolerate a team provoking their opponents in this way! ”

“....... Nearly half of the 49 rounds of unbeaten unbeaten have been drawn, and Arsenal's arrogance is incredible! ”

“....... No wonder the England team had mediocre results in the tournament, and it turned out that they were powerless to resist in the face of such provocations! ”

These comments devalue other Premier League teams for nothing, and the whole of English football is taking the blame!

As a result, the UK exploded, almost all the media were talking about it, and all Premier League opponents inevitably expressed their opinions and emotions.

It's so crazy!

Almost everyone thinks so, even their own fans, shake their heads, believing that Wenger's inappropriate remarks will provoke a backlash from rivals and add more problems to an already poor season.

However, there are also attentive guys, and after careful analysis, they immediately feel strange!

This is not Arsene Wenger's usual style!

Don't.......

"Is that you?"

That night, Yumo received a call from Martin Taylor,

The reply was very refreshing, "Yes, the manager asked me for advice, I think the team is working hard, it shouldn't be the situation in front of me, so ......."

"So adding fuel to the fire and further irritating the opponent?" Martin Taylor, who had been very patient, was a little excited at this time, and said quickly: "Don't you think your opponent is not excited enough?" ”

There are not many people who can talk to Yumo in this tone, and Martin Taylor was not in this range originally, so he regretted it a little after saying it.

The relationship between the two friends has not been tested enough, and his understanding of him has not reached the level of a close friend, and rashly using this tone to question the other party is likely to cast a shadow on the originally good cooperative relationship!

The gains outweigh the losses.......

Pay for one's whistle?

As soon as the word flashed in his head, a familiar voice came from the earpiece: "It seems that you are really in a hurry, not that you are not afraid of big things." ”

After a pause, he smiled, "Wait and see, there will be more exciting things tomorrow!" ”

What's more?

Martin Taylor is a little dizzy, but fortunately tomorrow will come soon, otherwise I would have to hold back a heart attack.

In order to see for himself something more exciting, he took the initiative to apply for live commentary on the game, appearing with Andy Gray at Blackburn's home stadium, Ivo Park.

He originally thought that the more exciting thing was the process of the game or the result of the game, but he didn't expect that everyone was spreading the word of mouth an hour before the game.

Starting list!

“....... Lehmann, Ashley Cole, Martin Keown, Saul Campbell, Lauren, Grimandi, MO, Rosicky, Ljungberg, Bergkamp, Wiltord! ”

"Oh my God, Arsenal actually used this squad to challenge Blackburn Rovers away!"

'There's not much suspense at the back, with Kolo Toure injured, Martin Keown is the only substitute besides Mo. What was really surprising was their attacking line, Pire, Vieira, Henry, three absolute main players resting at the same time! ”

Arsene Wenger had said in his pre-match interview that the record was open and that all opponents were welcome to break it. But what's going on with this starting lineup, do you think the team is in excellent shape at the moment, and it can easily win the opponent without the main team? ”

"Blake are not weak, they won the Premier League for the third time since their inception in the 94-95 season, and they prevented Manchester United from winning three consecutive titles!"

"In the face of this kind of provocation and blatant contempt, how will they perform at home?"

"Let's wait and see!"

The results were a bit disappointing.

Blackburn didn't live up to expectations, launching a fierce attack at home, with as many as 10 shots on goal in the first half. Their opponents were mediocre, neither in control nor with sharp counter-attacks, and if it weren't for the solid defensive line, the first half could have been an ugly loss!

The second half was supposed to be a great opportunity for an upset, but in an attack, Blackburn Rovers rushed too much and a pass from the back was broken. At the same time, the Arsenal attacking players, who had a mediocre performance throughout the game, seemed to have suddenly found their form, and after a series of wonderful combinations, Wiltord stabbed in front of the goal!

The 1-0 scoreline didn't look solid, and the home team was not discouraged and continued to attack with substitutions.
