A loss was followed by a dull draw, which brought a lot of doubts. Fortunately, the most experienced www.biquge.info Arsenal soldiers along the way are criticism and criticism, and they have long been accustomed to all kinds of remarks under colored glasses.

While the rest of Europe is heading into a leisurely holiday, the Premier League continues to play game after game in cold and rainy weather. The pros and cons aside, and the impact on players, especially first-year Premier League students, is undeniable.

Pire, Thierry Henry, the two vanguards, Arsene Wenger, were the most affected by this.

Both debuted in the less competitive Ligue 1 and only needed to play 30 games a year to get the job done. Now, just half a season later, Arsenal have played a full 32 games, and even if they don't stay full-time, the two are far more physically exhausted than before.

Pire was actually okay, but after being out for a while due to injury, he was just a little uncomfortable with the rhythm of such a fierce game, and his performance on the field was a little up and down.

Henry's condition is a bit worrying.

Since the sixth round of the season, he has not missed any league or Champions League games, and his physical condition is not enough to support him to be as sharp as before in a single fight when the characteristics have been repeatedly studied and the targeted arrangement has long been perfected.

Now the team's attack on the right side has not improved for a long time, and the left side is also obviously damp, and the burden on his shoulders is heavier than before, and he is being cared for many times more than before.

Under internal and external difficulties, he fell into a slump with the team, playing good and bad, and his emotions fluctuated greatly.

After all, he is only 22 years old, and his heart has not yet reached the level of the old guy's pampering and humiliation, and after the ups and downs, it is inevitable that he will be a little confused.

Due to his somewhat introverted personality, he has few friends in the locker room, and is silent and lonely like a lone ranger.

"I've been bored lately, is there anything fun?"

After the day's training, Wiltord was yelling in the dressing room.

Unlike Thierry Henry, who had high hopes from the start, the dude was a surprise surprise for Arsenal this season. The popularity of the two in the locker room is also very different, they don't look like compatriots, but more like the front and back of the mirror.

"yes, it's boring enough, and there's no vacation, so if you want to go out and relax, you have to set an alarm clock." Ashley Cole replied listlessly, which was a cheer.

The dreary atmosphere was a little more lively, and many people complained about the long schedule.

Henry stopped as he was packing up and stared at the floor.

"You're not used to it, are you?" Vieira's voice rang out next to him, and he patted him on the shoulder.

"It's okay." Henry looked up and smiled reluctantly.

"I didn't feel comfortable when I first arrived." Vieira leaned closer and said in a low voice: "Especially when there is a group of teammates around who are discussing where to get drunk after training, I just feel like there is no way to communicate!" ”

Hearing this, the smile on Henry's face became more natural, "English people are good drinkers, and getting drunk is probably the best way to relax, I think." ”

Vieira nodded, with a smile on her face, "What about you, where do you like to go to play?" ”

"I don't have any special hobbies." Henry thought for a moment and said, "Rakisic likes to travel, but it's a pity that I can't accompany her this year." ”

Vieira spread his hands and looked helpless, "No way, since you choose to come to the Premier League, you have to endure the damn schedule and weather!" ”

The hesitation on Henry's face flickered, and his voice was calm, "The atmosphere in the Premier League is not bad, but the exposure is too high, and it is a bit of a headache." ”

Vieira smiled and pointed to the entrance of the locker room, "Then you have to talk to Mo and listen to his opinion!" ”

"Him?" Henry paused slightly, looked over but didn't see anyone, so he nodded and said, "There is a chance." ”

Vieira let out an "um" and got up to leave.

Henry looked at his teammates who were gradually dispersing, and began to pack up his things.

Just as he was about to go out, the guy who came in front of him greeted him.

"The boss has something to do with you and is waiting for you in the office."

Henry answered, but before he reached the door, the voice behind him continued to sound.

"It just so happens that I also have something to find the boss, wait a minute, let's go together."

Ten minutes later.

There was a knock on Wenger's office door, and the two rushed in.

Looking at the uninvited guys, the Frenchman smiled and asked, "Hey, it's so early today?" ”

"The weather was too cold, and I was afraid that Dennis would be injured, so I ended it early." You Mo grinned, looking for a place to sit down with ease.

Henry was a little cramped, nodded and smiled at the manager before moving inside.

"I came to you because I wanted to tell you something in person." Wenger frowned, turned his head to look at the guy looking around next to him, and then slowly spoke: "Real Madrid took the initiative to activate the buyout clause in your contract, so we need to inform you ......"

Before he finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly.

Silence set in quickly, enveloping the small space, accumulating more and more until the heart raced and breathing became difficult.

What to say?

Because the agent is not qualified, Henry missed a chance to step into the top giants, and now with his own efforts, he has been recognized at a higher level, whether he goes or stays, it is a happy thing.

But for Arsenal, for Arsene Wenger, can it be considered good news?

It is true that it takes a lot of money to build a stadium, but if all the players who can be sold for a good price are sold, is there still any value for the club?

In the event that the buy-out clause has been activated, the player's personal will will be the deciding factor in staying or not. What to persuade him to stay now?

The long schedule is tireless, the weather is so bad that it makes people feel bad, the big and small media like maggots attached to the bones, the club with a high salary, the team with a thin squad.......

"Oh, have you already contacted the next family and are ready to sell Anelka for cash?"

The silence was broken by Yu Mo's sudden question, and the two listeners turned their heads in unison, a little surprised.

Wenger should have been used to seeing it, but he was in a bad mood at this time, so he frowned and asked, "You plan to give up in less than a year?" ”

You Mo didn't turn his head to observe the expressions of the guys around him, and said to himself: "Nikolai has a good brother, who is the best at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, and this transfer may be his idea." ”

As soon as he heard this, Wenger's eyes widened and his voice became stern, "You said Claude? Was it Claude's idea? ”

Without waiting for Yumo to answer, the French himself gave an inference, "Yes, I should have thought a long time ago, damn fellows, everywhere they are constantly creating difficulties for us!" ”

Hearing such an answer, Henry opened his mouth, did not speak, and rubbed his hands together vigorously, as if doing so would calm his tangled mood.

In fact, before Wenger told him about it, Real Madrid launched various attacks against him. Family, friends, take turns; High salary, commitment, everything.

Anyone will inevitably waver in the face of such temptations, especially young people who are prone to blood surges, and it is easy to make up their minds with a pat on their chest.

He still hasn't made up his mind to persevere until now, because in these short five months, he has experienced an experience that he has never experienced before, and it is a little difficult to let go of the old man opposite him and the guys around him.

But after hearing who was behind this transfer, he understood.

He's just a pawn!

'If I'm not mistaken, Nicolas Anelka's next home would be Chelsea.'

You Mo's voice broke the silence again, and the two listeners stared at each other with their eyes wide in disbelief.

There is no news at all, how does this guy know so much about it?

"Well, they already have a big Swedish man, why do they need one......." Wenger shook his head halfway through his words, "No, no, no, Nikolai and Zlatan are not the same, they are compatible......"

Jumo listened patiently for a moment before interrupting: "At club level, Nikola's success at Chelsea would be a strong example. ”

Arsene Wenger listened to it again, and said with an unkind face: "You mean, it will make our players shake and think Chelsea is a good choice?" ”

"yes." You Mo's face didn't matter, and a smile actually appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Abu is not playing tickets, he really loves football, and he really wants to turn his team into a giant club." ”

Such an answer made Wenger speechless for a long time, but Henry's expression became relaxed, and he asked with a smile: "You seem to know them very well?" ”

You Mo got up and stretched out, "Yes, I have a chance to talk again, I have to go home." ”

Although Wenger was full of questions, it was inconvenient to ask them one by one at this time, so he nodded slightly and watched the goods leave.

The door was shut, and the footsteps faded away, before the conversation between the two Frenchmen began.

But it ended at the beginning.

"I'll finish my contract, don't worry."

......

The final game at the end of January was played at Highbury, with Arsenal facing Aston Villa.

Since the first leg between the two teams was 0:0, it was just over half of the time before the start of this game that the home team was expected to win all three points, which was not at all like the treatment of a team that has been unbeaten in 20 rounds in the league.

No way, there are 8 draws in 20 league games, almost half of them, and they are not strong opponents!

What does this mean?

When it is strong, it is not weak, when it is weak, it is not strong, and the performance is not stable enough!

Any team that wants to have the last laugh needs to maintain a high win rate against teams in the middle and lower tiers, and the points in the strong dialogue alone will not be enough to last the whole season.

On the surface, the unbeaten record is covetous, but if it is a draw in a season, the final points are only enough for relegation, and it is 108,000 miles away from winning the championship!

Therefore, how many rounds of unbeaten games does not make much practical sense, and it is far less important than winning the opponent to win all three points.

Of course, if the number of undefeated figures exceeds a certain limit, the attention it attracts is another matter.

At 3:15 p.m., the 21st round of the Premier League officially began.

With Aston Villa's style somewhat at odds with Arsenal's, Arsene Wenger did not make any major changes to his starting line-up, with Jumo continuing to play at centre-back, Wiltord continuing to play at right midfield and Rosicky continuing to be on the bench.

All three guys are the topics of recent media attention, and although the content of the discussion is different, the focus is the same.

What's the best position to play?

Needless to say, You Mo can play in the three positions of the central axis, but no matter the insiders and laymen, they all feel that this thing is a waste of attack power to play the central defender, and it is a bit worth the loss.

Wiltord has been one of Arsenal's major discoveries this season and is currently fourth in the scorers' list with 12 goals and should be closer to the opposition goal from any point of view. Due to the mediocre assist ability of right-back Lauren, the offensive organization task in the right midfield position is arduous, and if he comes to make a cameo, he is also suspected of being a violent thing.

It's normal for Rosicky to be new and not have much of a chance to perform. It's just that the high transfer fee determines the patience and appetite of the audience, and if there is no eye-catching performance in the limited playing opportunities, it will inevitably attract a lot of criticism. Arsene Wenger did not play well in the last game by placing the Czechs in a central midfield position, and although he did not appear in the starting line-up in this game, the possibility of being substituted is still very high once the team cannot open the situation.

What everyone didn't expect was that just after the halfway point of the first half, Rosicky was on the line!

Bergkamp sprained his ankle in a scramble and couldn't keep playing!

So under the gaze of more than 30,000 home spectators, Rosicky's thin figure pinned everyone's hopes, making people sweat and can't help but look forward to it faintly.

Will there be a performance that will be eye-catching?

"Hey, Thomas the little train is coming, don't you all applaud and encourage?"

You Mo's loud voice rang out without warning, and everyone listening to it paused for a moment before quickly clapping his palm.

To be honest, the Arsenal players are not optimistic about this little guy who has no experience in the top flight and weighs only 64kg.

They are people who have experienced bloody rain, and they are very worried that the thin little guy in front of them will be knocked out of the psychological shadow, and they will lie on the sickbed before they can realize their talents.

Of course, this speculation is just a private complaint, and face still has to be given.

Especially when the generals in the team are injured and their morale is obviously frustrated, they can only hope for a new atmosphere for newcomers.

"Thank you."

Rosicky looked around, and finally locked on Yu Mo, and smiled, "Very interesting nickname." ”

"You're welcome."

The brief exchange ended and the game continued.

In the 27th minute, Arsenal's attack in front failed, and the ball was cut off by the opponent and launched a counterattack.

The Aston Villa players were quite agile at their feet, and after successive escapes and passes, a quick counter-attack was already formed!

Just when everyone was sweating for their own defense line and silently praying for luck to help, a red figure suddenly struck out, and the speed of the recovery was as fast as lightning!

No one could see exactly when he started to chase back, as if it was just a blink of an eye, the Aston Villa player who was dribbling the ball at high speed staggered, and the ball was gone!

Everyone's eyes widened as they watched the Czechs who still couldn't stop after shoveling away the ball, and rushed forward about two meters before they got up.

Could this be the "Thomas Train"? (To be continued.) )
