The Arsenal players' collective unconventional celebration feasted the eyes of the spectators on the sidelines, and many fans also saw that they were venting their frustration to the media, before this game, most of the media were laughing at Arsenal's arrogance, thinking that their new vice-team Descartes' slogan for winning the championship was simply a joke, Arsenal has not won for 4 consecutive seasons, and they are still tearing down the entire central defender line, with such a lineup, why should they win the championship?

It's a pity that what the media doesn't know is that this season's Arsenal is no longer the Arsenal of previous seasons.

What was Arsenal like in previous seasons?

Falling from the undefeated clouds, the main players of the team left one after another, the team's record is always to win one game, draw one, lose one, the atmosphere in the whole locker room is low, no leader stands up to boost morale, no one wants to speak, even the team's banner Henry has lost confidence in the club, the little brother Chelsea, who was once bullied by them, suddenly turned into a serf and sang, becoming the new overlord of the Premier League, and the small clubs that trembled when they saw them in the past suddenly became crocodiles hidden in the quagmire, Always ready to pounce and take a bite.

At that time, Arsenal was leaderless, morale was low, and there would be an inexplicable collapse every season, and it had gradually gained the title of "Fighting for the Four".

But at the end of last season, everything was different.

When they fell into another habitual crash after February, Descartes stepped up and said little. But it is very heavy, every professional player enters professional football with good intentions, they not only have ideals, but also dignity, Descartes' words just hit their most fragile hearts, who doesn't want to play well, who doesn't want to win the championship, who doesn't want to become a hero?

Sometimes, it doesn't have to be a long story that makes all the difference, it can be just a few simple words of sarcasm. Even a strange look.

Descartes' words and actions brought Arsenal to life in the final stages before the end of the season. Although he ended the season with an injury, Arsenal still showed morale and fighting spirit in the final few games, and their performance woke up all Arsenal fans. It was as if I saw hope for the coming year.

And Arsenal's defeat in the summer transfer market. It doesn't mean they don't have ambition. It can only be said that Arsene Wenger and the club are paying off their debts for the mistakes of the past few years and getting rid of David. Dunn, let the experienced veterans drain one by one. In the battle for talent, they still retain the sense of competition in the past, always trying to do big things with little money, and seeing talent flow into the arms of their opponents one by one, these are all mistakes in the management policy of Arsenal clubs, and have nothing to do with whether they have the ambition to compete for the title.

So this season Arsene Wenger has simply promoted Descartes to the team's new first mate, this is because he has seen the shortcomings of the team - Cesc Fabregas has no problem being the core on the pitch, but he is not actually suitable to be a leader in the dressing room, his character is destined to lead the team with more words, and in this regard, Descartes is certainly better than Cesc Fabregas.

So Descartes became the new spokesman for the dressing room, and his slogan was not his imagination alone, but the voice of the whole dressing room, after four years of empty-handed football, the Arsenal players were tired of it, they were hungry for success, they wanted to get glory, they didn't care if the structure of the team was complete, they just wanted to taste the championship here.

And then there is the current scene on the pitch, the actions of the Arsenal players, at least show a problem, they are all on the side of the new vice-team Descartes, no matter how much the media thinks of it, the current Arsenal are very united and have a common goal.

The united Arsenal were not resting on their laurels for the opening lead, as they continued to attack in the ensuing game and soon found the back of the net again.

In the 15th minute, it was another forced steal from the front, Descartes was quick and stabbed the ball into the box before the Newcastle defender closed the goal, Van Persie's shot was blocked by the opposing defender with his body, but then Cesc Fabregas made a brilliant volley, the ball hung into the corner of the goal, and Given's shot at 120 kilometers per hour was completely helpless.

The game was already 2-0 up just 15 minutes into the game, and now we can say that Arsenal have made a fantastic start, and the media who thought the Gunners were going to be in a tough battle before the game were all dumbfounded, they thought that the lack of a forward line composed of Owen and Carroll could add a little trouble to Arsenal, who would have thought that the team had fallen behind 0-2 before the two touched the ball a few times in the first 15 minutes, and this is to play the rhythm of a big score?

Newcastle coach Keegan on the sidelines couldn't sit still, he walked to the sideline of the pitch regardless of his demeanor, and waved desperately to make the Newcastle players concentrate on defense, pay attention to defense, and calm down the situation on the field first.

I have to say that although Keegan was scolded when he coached the England national team, he was still a very good level coach, and he was very aware that the team was 0:2 behind, and it was the time to fall into chaos, and the most important thing at this time was not to equalize, but to quickly unify the team's thinking and calm down all the players, otherwise as soon as they were disrupted, the game would become a one-sided slaughter.

Keegan's instructions quickly calmed down the Magpies players on the pitch, all of whom were professionals, and they understood that Arsenal were on the momentum and the best thing to do was not to fight them to the death, but to consolidate the defence as quickly as possible to avoid conceding another goal, while slowly grinding down their spirits.

As a result, Newcastle's players began to retreat in a systematic manner, setting up a solid concrete defence in midfield and aggressively scrambling 40 metres from the goal line.

Why choose in midfield instead of the 30-metre zone outside the penalty area?

Because everyone understands that the farther away the ball is from their own goal, the safer it is, and retreating to a 30-metre zone can make the defence more dense. But at the same time, it also makes the defense line thinner, and in this position, once penetrated by the opponent, it is fatal. So unless it's a huge disadvantage in terms of strength or some unavoidable reason, no team will put the defensive line directly on the penalty line during the game, they must have at least 4 or 5 players in the midfield, and try to keep the ball away from their own goal.

Those teams who "park the bus in front of their homes" at every turn are either mentally retarded in the novel, or they are beaten and swollen and have no power to fight back.

Newcastle have always considered themselves to be "one of the six giants" in the Premier League. Neither their history nor their self-esteem allow them to "park the bus in front of their house". So of course they won't opt for a complete drop-back defense.

What they don't know is that it is their mentality of "the old man of the giants" that caused them to suffer another blow before the end of the first half.

Due to Newcastle's hoarding of heavy defenders in the middle of the pitch, it was in the second half of the first half. Arsenal have changed their attacking formula. They started to break through from the flanks frequently. Use crosses to create threats.

Although there is no high point in Arsenal's squad at this time, it doesn't have to be a big man of 1.9 meters to see results, as long as the quality of the cross is good. A striker of 1.7 meters or even 1.6 meters can still grab the landing point.

It's like betting on roulette, I bet a lot, and there will always be a win.

Arsenal's third goal came from such a cross.

Nasri on the left side as a newcomer to the Premier League this season, is not well known to most Premier League teams, his first goal of the game is to take advantage of the Newcastle defender's unfamiliarity with his running route, dexterously get rid of the opposing guard to score, his bottom this time, also took advantage of the opponent's defender's unfamiliarity with his speed and technique, grasped a little flaw, and then swam into the back of the opposing defender, and then smoothly kicked the cross.

In the middle, Newcastle's Rozenar and Edgar are both over 1.85m tall and their headers are not bad, but their grabbing points was a little slower, and Van Persie seized the opportunity to head to the back post, and then Descartes appeared here like a ghost, and everything became very simple.

The first half entered the break with a score of 3-0, and the Newcastle players, who had been beaten to the point of no fighting, looked like dirt, and they walked into the dressing room with their heads bowed one by one, allowing the Arsenal fans to dance and sing in the stands, simply using the Emirates Stadium as a huge party venue.

And the 5,000 Magpies fans who came with Newcastle also fell silent, most of them believed the media reports before the game, thinking that Arsenal had declined this season, and their team building policy had made a fundamental mistake, and Arsenal, which lacked a central defender, is now the time to win weakly, and Newcastle is very likely to win away from home, so they have traveled thousands of miles to support their beloved team, who knows that when they get here, the situation is completely different from what the media said.

A team that scores three goals in 45 minutes is called weak?

Newcastle fans are in mourning, and they don't even have the mood to "party" with Arsenal fans, don't you see the two buddies who were sitting and drinking together before the game start, and now they are five or six meters apart?

The Arsenal fans are celebrating wildly with their fans, while the Newcastle fans are afraid that they can't help but beat up the buddy just now.

Arsenal returned to the dressing room to welcome Wenger's warm smile like the sunshine of three springs, although the last game was careless, but the team can get up from the defeat as quickly as possible, what else does Wenger have to complain about? He enthusiastically encouraged the players' performance and then announced that Eduardo had replaced Descartes.

Although Descartes wanted to play another dozen or twenty minutes on the pitch, considering that he would be back in Italy in three days to participate in his new campaign for Lippi's national team, he accepted Wenger's kindness and stayed on the bench.

While Arsenal were celebrating the victory, Newcastle's dressing room was bleak.

Like their innocent fans, Newkars were more or less influenced by the media before the game, and they saw the various reasons why Arsenal will not win the title this season, the most important of which is that they have a broken backline. So Newcastle are very well prepared for this game, they want to stage a warrior at the Emirates Stadium to kill the dragon, grab the dragon's chrysanthemum, and stab it with the spear and blade in their hands!

But what they didn't expect was that even if the dragon showed the flaws in the chrysanthemum, it still had sharp teeth and sharp claws, and before the warrior could circle behind him and stab his chrysanthemum, the dragon had already taken the lead in slapping the warrior into flesh.

Arsenal's "weak" defense line is there, anyone can see it, but seeing it does not mean that it can be stabbed. To catch the holes in Arsenal's backline. You have to protect your backline first and not let Arsenal's front line get a chance first.

At this point, Newcastle didn't do well enough, conceding three goals in the first half. But they couldn't threaten Arsenal's door. It's because they're before they protect their defenses. Thinking too much.

So the 3-0 score was bloodily engraved on their foreheads, and they were almost out of breath, and many Newcastle players sat listlessly in their seats. I don't know what to do.

But there was one person who never gave up, his sharp eyes scanned the entire locker room, then cleared his throat and shouted vigorously: "What's wrong with you, have you already conceded defeat?" ”

The Newcastle players looked up and were surprised to find that it was Owen, the "golden boy" they usually don't communicate with, who spoke.

It is said that the Newcastle players do not communicate much with Owen, not because Owen is arrogant or there is a conflict between them, but because Owen has been in the dressing room for too little time.

In August 2005, Owen transferred from Real Madrid to Newcastle for a transfer fee of 17 million pounds, setting a record for Newcastle's recruitment, and the manager and the club were also full of confidence in him, and even sold the team's "only two" striker Chopra to Cardiff City - at that time, Newcastle only had two strikers, Chopra and Ameobi!

Owen did well when he first arrived at Newcastle, but he soon made it clear to the Newcastle people why Real Madrid were willing to give him up - he spent the entire season with a metatarsal fracture in his 11th game at Newcastle.

Over the next three seasons, Irving played just 47 games and spent less than 3,200 minutes in the locker room combined, but he spent more than 230 days in a hospital bed.

So for Newcastle's dressing room, Owen is a "stranger of the most familiar".

However, in Owen's mind, he didn't think so.

Owen became famous very early and has always been a favorite of England fans, and his shocking long-distance run against Argentina in the 98 World Cup made him the darling of all England fans, even if he returned to Newcastle and only played 47 games for the team, but the love of Magpies fans for him has never waned, whenever he is injured and hospitalized, there are always fans praying for him outside the hospital, and the bedside of the ward is also full of postcards and gifts of blessings.

Owen has always kept the friendship of Newcastle fans in his heart, even if he is powerless, he always has the intention to kill thieves to repay the love of Newcastle fans for him.

Owen has struggled to break free from injury this season, with the team arranging the best training regimen for him, choosing the best time to return and outfitting the best team-mates, and he believes it is time for him to give back to the club and the fans.

So when he saw the confused eyes of his teammates because they were lagging behind, when he felt the oppressive and low atmosphere in the team, he felt that there was a fire burning in his heart, and he did not hesitate to stand up and regard himself as a leader, ready to inspire everyone to continue to fight with him with words and actions.

"We haven't lost yet! There are still 45 minutes left in the game, we can see that the opponent's physical energy is depleted step by step, their morale is also passing little by little, they think they have won the game, they think we are powerless to resist, but I don't think so, I see the flaws in their backline, a goal, we only need to score a goal, we can tear a hole in their hearts, make them fearful, make them afraid. As soon as they are scared, they will back down, the holes in their backline will be exposed to us, and then our chance will come! Guys, would you like to do it with me? A goal, as soon as we score a goal, they will collapse and we will definitely be able to win! ”

I have to say that Owen has learned to grasp the psychology of his teammates very well, if he now tells his teammates that they can equalize by scoring three more goals, then the Newcastle players will definitely find it too difficult, and there will be a cringe, but he turned this number into a goal, as long as he scores a goal, Arsenal will be jealous of their attack, and then they will retreat to defense, and then Newcastle will naturally press the attack, Arsenal's "weak" backline, Will you be able to block the magpie's attack when the time comes?

Owen's words boosted the morale of the Newcastle players, yes, with just one goal, they can save the situation, since it's that simple, so why not fight for it?

When the Newcastle players walked out of the dressing room, their mentality was very different from when they left the pitch, now they have a specific and clear goal, they have a motivated leader, they are full of confidence again, and this game is not over! (To be continued......)
