I watched the draw ceremony for the World Cup in the morning, and after the results came out, it was really ...... I can't help but praise one.

In fact, everyone knows that after the results of this draw came out, the outside world must have been full of doubts, and even "conspiracy theories" are endless, especially about the encounter of the "Group of Death" English, Italian, Uruguay and other teams, as well as the "unspoken rule theory" of the French team escaping the fourth-tier team with "someone on top", which will definitely be called a hot topic in the media for a period of time in the future.

But standing in my personal understanding, I think that this draw looks like it should be relatively fair, although there are three groups of strong encounters, but you think about it, the World Cup eight groups have a total of 32 teams, no matter how divided, there will always be a few "strong teams" fate or fate to meet together, is it suspected that there is a conspiracy just because there is a collision between the strong teams?

Let's talk about these so-called "strong teams" again.

In our impression, Italy, France, and Brazil can be regarded as the strongest teams among the strong teams, and the three of them have won 11 of the 19 World Cups together, which is already accounting for most of the country, isn't this a strong team?

But let's take a look at the current world rankings of these three teams in FIFA, Italy is ranked 6th, Brazil is ranked 10th, and France is ranked 15th.

In fact, this is the reality, these teams have not had a very good record in the past period, although Brazil beat world champions Spain 3-0 to win the Confederations Cup, but because they are the hosts. So they didn't play in the South American World Cup qualifiers at all, so they didn't have any points in the official A-level international competition, so their world ranking has been dropping, and it's hard to say if they can't be seeded if they don't have the support of the hosts.

And Italy and France, the decline in recent years is also traceable, in the past Serie A was called the small World Cup, but now look at it, there are still a few fans who can say the star of the Serie A teams? Kaka and Ba, who returned from disappointment in Spain and England, are regarded as treasures by Milan, and Carlos Tevez, who Manchester City does not want, also dominate Juventus. Serie A has been reduced to the fourth largest league in Europe. The Italian national team is also gradually losing its former brilliance.

As for France, the internal friction between players and the Football Association, between players and coaches has worn away their edges, and now France is more like the Netherlands a decade ago, with a large number of world-renowned stars. But in the constant infighting, he allowed himself to be destroyed.

And such a "strong team". If you really meet other strong teams in the draw. So how can it be regarded as a "strong encounter", how can it be regarded as a conspiracy?

I see that there is also an argument that the French team was blessed by the superiors and changed the rules of the game for them. The "second pot" sign that should have been automatically inherited by them was taken out and drawn, and finally Italy was placed in the group of death, then I am even more strange, according to them, there are 9 teams in Europe that are placed in the fourth pot of signing, and the World Cup only has 8 groups, so there is a European team will be placed in the second pot, but whether it is the fourth pot or the second pot, they always have to draw lots, is it that there are three European teams in a group is the "group of death"? So what if the others are in a group with Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay, is it considered a group of death?

Of course, according to the World Cup draw rules, such a situation will certainly not happen, but the basis of these arguments is nothing more than the belief that European and South American teams are generally better than teams from other continents, so France should have been in the "Group of Death" with three European teams or two European teams and one South American powerhouse, but the top of the team changed the rules and allowed them to escape this fate.

But if we ask ourselves, will Colombia in Group C and Switzerland in Group E be able to beat France? In case Italy is divided into these two groups, is there another argument that because Italy "has someone on top", such a good signing has been specially arranged for them?

There are only about 100 countries in the world, and every time they enter the World Cup, they are those teams back and forth, in fact, no matter how they are grouped, there will always be all kinds of historical topics or grievances to hype up reporters, so what conspiracy theories and what draws are manipulated, it is nothing more than everyone in order to win attention afterwards, and take out some old sesame bad things to stir up, at least the group draw for this World Cup, in my opinion, is quite good, and strong teams have intersections, At the beginning, there was a strong dialogue to attract the attention of fans, and the weak teams were not without opportunities, and the grouping of Japan and South Korea also gave people hope?

It's just that every time I mention Japan and South Korea, there will always be a little bit of resentment and a little regret in my heart, and as for why, you know, I don't want to mention it anymore.

Let's move on to our back.

With Nasri equalising for Arsenal, time is running out for United, and with the last few minutes remaining, Ferguson is not going to give up at this point.

So Ferguson stood up and walked to the sideline, and as he continued to roar forward with his forward gestures, the United players immediately picked up their spirits and began to pounce ferociously towards the Arsenal half.

At this time, even Evra gave up his all-round personal care for Descartes and frequently overwhelmed the midfield line.

Although Manchester United's attack is strong, Arsenal is not a rookie who has never seen the world, so when the referee's final whistle blew, the score on the pitch was still bright red 1:1.

2:2 away, 1:1 at home, Arsenal eliminated Manchester United, the biggest obstacle on their way to promotion, and advanced to the Champions League final with their heads held high!

The Arsenal fans on the sidelines danced enthusiastically, with some even rushing off the pitch to surround the Arsenal players and throw them high into the air to vent their excitement, with their number one star Descartes being the most cared for. There were even passionate female fans who left bright red lip prints on Descartes.

But even more exciting came later in the press conference, where Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson made very different remarks about the draw.

"I'm disappointed." Lord Fergu's expression looked more unconvinced than disappointed: "We didn't lose a single game, but we were eliminated from the game, I don't think this should be a reasonable result for us to get, so we won't give up, we have another conversation in a week, and then we will come back." ”

Lord Fu originally wanted to use this game to crush Arsenal in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that his careful arrangement still failed to win in the end, and it seems. The result of this match seemed to hit the Manchester United players even harder. So he re-energized the morale of the United squad through his words and actions, and with one round of the series between the two teams, his troops must not be deflated before then.

Wenger didn't see through Lord Frew's intentions for a while, so his words almost helped: "We are very happy with this result. Although both matches were draws. But we scored two goals at Old Trafford. It shows that we are better than Manchester United and we deserved to be promoted. ”

The elegant Arsene Wenger didn't know that when he was making his statement to the players at Manchester United. Manchester United's players are gritting their teeth in the dressing room, and how can United's players be convinced in the face of such naked show-offs? Although they were knocked out of the Champions League final, they didn't lose either game, did they?

At this time, Manchester United's players have already made up their minds that when they return to the league, they must give Arsenal a good look and avenge this arrow.

Between the second leg of the Champions League semi-final and the 37th round of the league against Manchester United, there is still an important league game for Arsenal, who will host Chelsea, who have just changed their manager.

As mentioned earlier, Chelsea manager Scolari submitted his resignation due to being eliminated by Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-finals, and after two minutes of "careful consideration", Abou resolutely accepted his resignation, so Chelsea have been led by their former youth team in recent games.

is the so-called newcomer new atmosphere, after Clement accepted the team, Chelsea's record did rebound to a certain extent, in fact, the skeleton of the Chelsea team Mourinho period is still there, even if they did not introduce any new blood, relying on the tactical concept and inertia left by Mourinho, they can still occupy a place in the Premier League, so in fact, who will be their head coach is not a big problem, the key is whether these old players can be convinced, Can you focus all your energy on the game instead of fighting against the manager and the club's upper echelons?

Clement is very smart, he immediately restored the formation and style of play of the Mourinho period after he came to power, reused the veterans, and kept the locker room stable, these moves won the trust of the old players, plus he was only temporarily fighting the fire, and Manager Abou did not ask him to play any "beautiful football", so during this time, Chelsea, which was gradually declining, stopped the decline and began to gradually recover a few points of the style of the two consecutive championships.

Facing such an opponent between the two big games against Manchester United can only be said that Arsenal are really unlucky.

However, fortunately, the Arsenal players also knew that it was now a critical period, even if they gritted their teeth, they had to hold on, so they also worked hard in this game, Rosicky and Walcott, the old and young two players, and even fought for cramps, and finally they relied on Cesc Fabregas's penalty and Bendtner's header at the Emirates Stadium to repel the invading Blues 2-1, leaving the last trace of suspense for the league title.

The only disappointment is that Manchester United, who have just been knocked out of the Champions League, were not affected by the defeat, they also won Manchester City at home, although their "noisy neighbors" have been recruiting heavily this season, poaching two Arsenal big players in a row, but unfortunately the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and when it comes to the crunch time, they still can't stop Manchester United from taking what they want from them.

It is said that for this defeat, Manchester City's new owner Sheikh Mansour is quite angry, he originally planned to make a deep impression on Manchester United at such a critical moment, so that their strong neighbors recognize their existence, but he did not expect his players to mess up this errand, at this time Mansour Sheikh became more and more dissatisfied with Pierce, and he even wanted this reckless man to get out of the way and let Mancini take over the team quickly.

In addition to Mancini, Chief Mansour had one more wish. Although Cesc Fabregas has officially announced that he will return to Camp Nou next season, he still has a lot of memories of the two players in the Arsenal squad who have just teamed up to finish Manchester United: Descartes and Nasri, and this time, Mansour told his assistant that even if the two men combined for 100 million, Manchester City would have to get their hands on them.

Then Manchester City disclosed their desire for the two Arsenal players in the media, although they did not reveal their bottom line, but the media speculated that with this posture, Manchester City may not spare any money this time.

And Wenger, who received the news, was of course green and straight. Adebayo and Toure were poached. This year, I came to rob Nasri and Descartes again, and I feel that you Arabs really use Arsenal as Manchester City's scout training base?

"Tell them to shut me up!" Arsene Wenger waved his arm in front of the media: "I will never sell Descartes and Nasri to them, Arsenal is not one of those small clubs that make a living by selling players, we will never sell our players for money." No matter how much money they pay, they can't do it! ”

The professor's words were unequivocal. But when I turned around. Instead, he received a transfer request that almost made his nose crooked, with Nasri's name on the applicant column and Manchester City applying for the transfer.

A frustrated Arsene Wenger called Nasri to the office with his agent to talk. When he learned that Manchester City offered the Frenchman an annual salary of 10.7 million euros, he was dumbfounded and couldn't say a word for a while......

With a monthly salary of 220,000 more than Nasri at Arsenal alone, what can stop the Frenchman from changing clubs?

There was a sadness in Wenger's eyes, he would never have paid such a salary for Nasri, but the French meant it very clearly, and if they couldn't get a satisfactory salary, they would leave. Arsene Wenger is not a tough person who has to die with the players, the kind of coach who would rather hold the players in the team and put them to death only exists, as the so-called mountains do not turn, players keep transferring, coaches are also constantly transferring, maybe the two sides will "meet" in another team at that time? If you really want to offend people to death, what should you do when you meet again?

What's more, it is only natural that players should be paid highly, which player doesn't play for money? Pirlo's kind is just an outlier among odd numbers, and it's rare to come across one for hundreds of years, and these players dedicate their youth to training and competing desperately, just to earn a salary to support themselves? If Arsene Wenger prevents Nasri's transfer for this matter, or even suffocates him to death at Arsenal, then he will not want to recruit his favorite player again, and when people hear about your reputation, who else will play for you?

So after reading too many slapping articles, we all thought that when we met disobedient players, we had to clean up hard, even if we let him rot in the reserve team, we couldn't let him succeed, but these god-like authors don't know who dares to do this in the real world, then his coaching career will come to an end, to put it bluntly, everyone is a part-time worker, why do you block other people's financial paths?

Wenger faced the determined Nasri, and persuaded him for a long time, but all this was in vain, and Nasri finally decided to go to Manchester City and enjoy a higher annual salary.

Arsriwen's betrayal hurt Arsriwenger, but he was more worried about another confidant who had never taken a stand, Descartes.

Although Nasri's position at Arsenal is important, it is not irreplaceable, in fact, Wenger has been contacting the Russian Zenit team to pursue their midfielder "Tsar" Arshavin, who was originally ready to use Arshavin to fill the void after Fabregas's departure, but now he has become a replacement for Nasri.

However, Nasri can be replaced by Arshavin, and Descartes' tactical role is irreplaceable in the current Arsenal team.

Wenger has even calculated that after Fabregas leaves, he will officially establish the core position of Descartes, and then introduce a player who has the ability to connect the midfield to replace Fabregas's position, in Wenger's future tactical concept, Descartes is the core of Arsenal and an important source of the team's attack, if even he wants to transfer to Manchester City, then what should Arsenal do?

With such concerns, Arsene Wenger did not even discuss the transfer fee with Nasri and his agent, and called Descartes directly.

Unbeknownst to Wenger, Descartes was now in a huge mess.

The reason for this is that the Sun recently published a series of photographs of Descartes, as can be seen from the photographs. This was taken at Descartes' home, and most crucially, there is another person in the photo, Moriel Murray, a member of the girl group Saturday Girls, which is currently popular in the English music scene. Gold.

Attentive people can also see that in these photos, Descartes and Molel are both wearing home clothes, their expressions are quite intimate, and there are even "bed photos" taken by the two lying on the bed together.

This group of photos caused an uproar in England, and although there have been tabloids in the past that Descartes and Moriel were procrastinating, no one has been able to catch their actual handle, but this set of photos came out. The relationship between the two was immediately confirmed. Even the news of the secret of the two was taken as a fact.

Descartes was shocked when he saw the news, and he immediately called Moriel to ask, because he remembered that these photos were taken by Moriel with his mobile phone, but why did they appear in the hands of the reporter of The Sun?

Moriel's answer was a little aggrieved. She told Descartes. My phone was broken, so I took it for repair. But unexpectedly, the staff who repaired the mobile phone quietly sold these photos to the Sun, and as a result, the intimate photos taken by the two of them during the game were also exposed by The Sun.

The impact of the "Photogate" scandal on Descartes was enormous, because it not only exposed the secret affairs that he had painstakingly concealed. Jean was soon questioned by Ann Jieli from Italy.

"Descartes, how do you explain this time? Didn't you say you'd already be separated from her? Ann Jieli's words were sad, I could hear that the little girl was crying very much now, although she forgave Descartes last time, but the scars in her heart have always been difficult to completely make up, but I didn't expect it to stop for a few months, Descartes was exposed to be with that woman again, which made Ann Jieli feel that her heart was broken into pieces, he deceived himself, the man he loved deeply had been deceiving himself.

"No, Angelie, you listen to me." Descartes was so anxious that he wanted to dig out his heart and show it to Angelie, but the two were thousands of miles apart, and he could only defend himself by phone: "I was indeed ready to break up with her, but her reaction was very fierce, and I was afraid that she would do something to hurt herself, so I was ready to slowly stabilize her first, and then propose to break up with her when the time was right." ”

"Steady her?" An Jieli's cry suddenly increased: "I think you want to stabilize me first, right?" You don't want to put your feet on two boats, Descartes, you've disappointed me so much that I don't want to see you again! ”

There was a beep on the other end of the phone, followed by a series of busy tones, which by the time Descartes dialed again, it had become a shutdown prompt.

Descartes was really panicked at this time, he quickly stood up and prepared to pack his luggage and return to Italy to find Angelia like last time, but at this moment, his mobile phone rang, he glanced at it, and found that it was Wenger's name, so he answered the phone in confusion.

"Descartes." Arsene Wenger's voice was a little tired, and there was a little worry that made him feel strange: "Where are you now, do you have time to come out and talk?" ”

"Let's talk?" Descartes' head was full of question marks, could it be that Mr. Wenger knew his lace news and was ready to teach himself?

Descartes knows that it is a critical period for Arsenal, the team has reached a very important juncture at the end of the season, and the scandal at this time is indeed enough to make Mr. Wenger shine, but the most important issue at the moment is to explain clearly to Angeli and ask for her forgiveness, Wenger's side...... It seems that I can only go and be scolded.

A nervous Descartes came to Wenger's house and found Wenger sitting alone on the sofa in a daze, his wife, Lady Anne, who was busy in the room, and when she saw Descartes coming, Anne gave him an encouraging smile and led him to the living room.

Seeing Descartes, Wenger's eyes flashed a gleam, but it was quickly disguised, he motioned for Descartes to sit down, frowned and asked: "Descartes, what has happened to you recently......

"I'm sorry Mr Wenger, I know it's wrong for me to make such a fuss, but I really have a hard time." Descartes thought that Wenger was going to ask him about the scandal, so he admitted his mistake first, and he also wanted to explain it to Wenger as soon as possible, and then ask for leave to return to Italy to coax Ann Jieli, what he cares about most in his heart is always Ann Jieli, this childhood sweetheart's relationship is not easy to let go.

Who expected that as soon as his words came out, Wenger's face suddenly changed.

Descartes thought that Wenger had called him to talk about the scandal. But who would have thought that Wenger didn't have time to pay attention to his peach dispute now, Wenger wanted to ask about Manchester City's recent offer to him and Nasri, judging from Nasri's reaction, Manchester City must have contacted him privately, and even revealed his annual salary to him, so what about Descartes's side? Manchester City must have approached him privately, right?

Wenger called Descartes over, originally to ask him where he was going, but he didn't expect Descartes to apologize to him as soon as he opened his mouth, doesn't this mean that Descartes is also ready to betray himself?

For a moment, Wenger only felt heartache. These young talents who have been cultivated by themselves. Why do you betray your trust in them one by one? I put so much effort into it, but in the end, I only got a fluttering "I'm sorry", what is this for?

With the last bit of anticipation, Wenger asked with a trembling mouth: "You." Are you really leaving? ”

Descartes' eyes widened in surprise. I wonder why Wenger is so powerful. Do you even know you're going back to Italy? However, since Wenger took the initiative to ask, of course he would not hide it, so he nodded seriously and replied: "Yes, Mr. Wenger." It's very important to me, I ...... "He wanted to say that he was going to take two days off, but now that the team is in such a critical period, would it be too long to take two days off?"

Just when he was hesitating whether to take a day off or two days off, he didn't notice that Wenger's face suddenly turned snow-white, and then his always straight body collapsed unconsciously, leaning slightly on the back of the chair behind him, Wenger asked weakly: "How much annual salary did they offer you?" ”

"Huh?" Descartes was thinking about asking for leave, but he didn't expect Wenger to change the topic and sigh to him What annual salary, annual salary? Where did you get your annual salary?

Descartes didn't know that his reaction fell into Wenger's eyes, but it became ironclad evidence of his weakness, so Wenger suddenly became angry for a while, straightened his body again, and looked at him viciously and asked: "I asked Manchester City, how much salary do they offer you?" ”

"Manchester City?" Descartes finally understood, the feelings Wenger was asking about Manchester City, in fact, in the past few days, there are indeed Manchester City staff who have approached him and mentioned to him about private contact, but Descartes is upset about the scandal at this time, and he has no intention of transferring, so he didn't talk to them at all, and sent them directly to Mr. Bonetto, he is now thinking about Angelie's affairs, where can he take care of Manchester City Manchester United?

Hearing Wenger's question, Descartes subconsciously recalled it, and then said uncertainly: "They, they seem to have said that they would give me an annual salary of 12 million, but what does it matter, Mr. Wenger, why are you asking this question?" ”

In Descartes' opinion, no matter how much money Manchester City gave him, he didn't want to leave Arsenal at all right now, so when Wenger asked about the salary offered to him by Manchester City, he didn't hesitate to say it, and at the same time he wondered why Wenger would contact him privately until Manchester City.

What he didn't know was that he didn't take this matter to heart, but Wenger already believed it, mainly because Nasri had just had a showdown with Wenger, and Wenger's heart now looked at everyone with a kind of suspicion, when Descartes confessed to him the salary promised to him by Manchester City, Wenger was simply dead, this is Descartes's showdown! Nasri only took 10.7 million and had to go, and Manchester City gave Descartes 12 million, which is directly 4 times his current salary, and anyone will make a "wise" choice!

For a while, Wenger's eyes were red, and he asked with a haggard expression: "If you don't go, you know, I have always been ready to build a team with you as the core, and the team is now in a critical period......"

Wenger's critical period is actually different from the critical period that Descartes understands, Wenger refers to the critical period of rebuilding after the departure of Cesc Fabregas, Descartes is the cornerstone of his reconstruction, and he relies on Descartes very much, but to Descartes' ears, Wenger seems to be saying that the team is now in a "critical period" of the third-tier championship, so Wenger does not want him to go back to Italy.

Now Descartes felt a little embarrassed, he knew that the team was very tense right now, but Angeli was one of the most important people in his life, he could not live without her, so he had to go back to Italy anyway, but at this time Wenger begged him to stay......

Although I don't know why Wenger looks so haggard, Descartes thinks that a day or two away should not delay the team's championship contention, right? So he gritted his teeth and said to Wenger earnestly: "Mr. Wenger, this time, this time the situation is really serious, I can't give up my efforts......"

"I know Descartes, 12 million is a tempting number, but the team needs you to ......" Wenger tried to interrupt him, but Descartes was still pleading:

"I can't live without Angeli, I'm the most important person in my life......"

"If you remember why I brought you to Arsenal in the first place, you should think about what your goal is, money or honour......

"I just want Angeli, I can't live without her ......"

"Okay, don't tell me anything about Angelie, you just have to tell me, are you really going to leave Arsenal for money? ……”

"Huh?"

"Ugh!"

The two were stunned at the same time, and then they suddenly realized that what the two said didn't seem to be the same topic at all? (To be continued.) )
