Chapter Twenty-Eight: Indispensable
“Shocking… Whatashockingresult… (Shocked...) The results are so shocking...)" Everyone (except the Hornets fans) was feeling the hard thing to swallow: 1-2
The sunshine disappeared after referee Marriner blew the final whistle, and a dark cloud hung over the Emirates Stadium, and Arsenal suffered their first FA Cup defeat since 16 February 2013, shattering their dream of an unprecedented treble in the FA Cup.
Looking at the nearly 10,000 Hornets fans singing and dancing, the uncomfortable Arsenal fans issued accusations and boos, and even the fans sang loudly: "We need to do it!" We need to dry! Because he can bring goals, because he can bring wins. Dry! Arsenal's Nine! We need you! ”
In the LETV studio, Zhan Jun said with emotion: "At this moment, I don't know whether to be sad for the shattered dream of three consecutive Arsenal FA Cup titles, or proud of the status of our compatriots in Arsenal." In this game, we seem to see that the Arsenal team is facing another season with four empty and mediocre ones, and this inertia makes us accustomed to nature, because every year in February and March, Arsenal will habitually drop the chain and fight from the third line, and finally the big four are empty. When a team's sluggishness in attack becomes the norm, the disorder in the midfield becomes the norm, and the occasional mistake at the back can easily bury a few victories, how can it not disappoint the fans? The only thing to be thankful for is that it was him, who showed up, and it was him who reversed Swansea City with two goals, and it was him who scored a hat-trick to shock White Hart Lane. Five goals, six valuable points for the team, Arsenal are still on the way to the title! Although Qiansheng cannot participate in the Champions League, this season, Arsenal, which has Qiansheng, will definitely use his goals to bring Arsenal the most important trophy that has not been seen for a long time, that is, the Premier League championship after a 12-year absence! Maybe everyone will think that Zhan Jun is exaggerating the role of a fifteen-year-old boy, but as long as you have watched Qiansheng's game, and the fans who have watched this game, and then look at the reactions of Arsenal fans at the scene, I believe you will agree with what Zhan Jun said, that is, Arsenal needs Qiansheng, and Qiansheng is the most indispensable player in the Arsenal team, there is no one! ”
Li Yuankui smiled and said, "Director Zhan, you are going to become a fan of Qiansheng." ”
Zhan Jun smiled and said, "Yes, I'm a fan of Qiansheng!" ”
……
After shaking hands with Watford, Arsène Wenger walked down the aisle with a blank face, in front of him, beside him, and behind him were players and coaches who shrugged their heads and left.
Mesut Ozil walked with a confused face, and Alex Sanchez limped behind him, apparently fighting too the field earlier and accidentally strained his thigh, hoping that when he went to the hospital for a check-up, he would not be injured for a few more days.
"Mesut, what do you want?" Danny Welbeck patted Mesut Ozil and was full of admiration for the German who assisted him with a brilliant back-heel to score a goal. It is a pity that countless loaves of bread were created, and no one could eat them, oh no, there was one man, and that man could eat the bread of Mesut.
Ozil glanced at Welbeck, who missed the last empty goal and caused the team to lose, and said indifferently: "I wonder why you just can't score the empty goal?" ”
Welbeck blushed, he had scored a goal and given the team hope, all right! Look at the Frenchman who has always been the main player, and he hasn't scored a single goal.
Mesut Ozil came to the Premier League a year earlier than Sanchez, and in three years, Arsenal also ended many years without a title under his leadership, and won the FA Cup for two consecutive years, which is better than nothing.
There are still two years left and he has been approached by the hierarchy to talk to him about a contract extension, but Mesut Ozil wants to wait a little longer to see where the team can go this season and see if the team has any ambitions this summer.
Looking back at Sanchez, who was limping and walking on his thighs, the Chilean had hard work, fighting spirit, and as an assaulter, there was no problem, but he was never a super scorer who scored goals.
Then turn your head to look at the French center forward who walked in front of him wearing a jersey, the French came a year earlier than him, and was the French Golden Boot of the French champion team before, and then the French were in the team as the fulcrum, and the shooting skills were often criticized, in this game, there were 0 shots in the first half, and a few shots on goal in the second half, all of which were not threatening. It is clear that the Frenchman is not the goalscorer that the team needs either.
As for the little tiger Theo Walcott, not to mention, he is a nerve knife and plays well, scoring two goals and assists in the second half in midweek. If you don't play well, you can shoot without a single shot in a game.
The black shell who transferred from Manchester United, although he scored a goal after receiving his back-heel pass, but the mistake in the empty goal at the last moment hit the fans very hard. If it was dry, it would not be a mistake, Ozil thought suddenly.
Looking at Yidui, who was crying with tears on her face, without any ladylike image, and Duanmu Wenxuan, who was sobbing quietly with tears, Qiansheng was speechless.
It's just a loss, as for crying so sadly? Qiansheng looked around, for him, playing football is a job that he makes money, as long as he plays, he has money, he scores, he has money, and if he scores, he has money, and if he scores, he has more money. And the salary, this job is very good, and he can earn a lot more money than he used to work part.
Thierry Henry has a blue face, he is going to talk to Arsèna, he must bring in reinforcements this summer, there are so many strikers in the team, and those who can't score goals have been dealt with! Qiansheng is not there, and Arsenal with Mesut creates more opportunities, and there are eggs!
Yi Du choked up and said, "If this game is dry, you won't lose." ”
Duanmu Wenxuan took out a tissue, wiped her tears, and pouted: "It's all his fault, he hit people on the court, which caused him to be suspended and couldn't play, and the team lost." ”
Hey, beauty, what about the good idol? Blame me?
Qiansheng touched his nose and saw Henry looking at him unkindly. Damn, if a woman says a few words, you really blame me?
With a cold snort, Henry turned to leave. He knew that the team's old problem had been around for a long time, and it really had nothing to do with Qiansheng, and this kid was still the shooter that the team needed the most. The reaction of the fans at the scene is enough to prove the importance of Xiao Qiansheng.
Taking advantage of the exchange between the two girls and a few Arsenal fans, Qiansheng quietly followed Henry away, before leaving, Qiansheng looked back and took a deep look at the crying pear blossom with rain and poor clothes, and thought: Beauty, when will I see you again?
At the post-match press conference, Wenger maintained his demeanor in the face of reporters' difficulties.
Reporter: "Is the loss of this game a lack of confidence on the part of the players?" ”
Arsene Wenger: "No, I don't think so. Losing has nothing to do with self-confidence, and we definitely don't lack confidence right now. If you look at the three games against Swansea, Tottenham and Hull City, I don't know why people think we lack confidence. ”
Reporter: "Then what do you think is the reason for the loss in this game?" ”
Arsene Wenger: "We created a lot of chances and my players worked hard, but I don't really understand why we didn't take so many chances, especially before the end of the game, because they should have won the game. It has to be said that Watford's defence did a very good job in the game, and they also took advantage of the limited chances to convert into goals. We wasted too many chances, so we were punished. ”
Reporter: "According to the data, Arsenal created a lot of scoring opportunities in this game, but only scored one goal, Watford scored two goals with only two shots on target, does it prove that without dry, Arsenal can't score?" ”
The corners of Wenger's mouth twitched slightly, and he secretly scolded this reporter in his heart for not opening which pot to mention, but since the other party proposed it, he couldn't help but answer: "The players did their best this time, they worked very hard, and it was my responsibility not to score, there is no one who can't score, Danny won't score?" Although he missed the last chance. ”
Obviously dissatisfied with the professor's Tai Chi answer, a reporter said: "I heard that Manchester City, Barcelona, Manchester United and other teams have quoted sky-high compensation to buy Qian, and Qianqian has only signed a youth contract with the team, will Arsenal agree to sell?" ”
Arsene Wenger's face changed, and he said coldly: "Qian is the most important member of Arsenal, which team do you think will sell their core players?" Our goal this season has always been to win the championship, it has never changed, and it is the indispensable core of the team to win the championship! So, these messages are all fake! ”
Arsene Wenger finished the interview and hurried back to his office. Before the game, the staff said that two big-name football agents, Jorge Mendes and Mino Raiola, were going to meet him. There are also several sponsor representatives of the team who want to talk to him about something, and Wenger, who knows it well, knows that they are all for Qiansheng.
Will it be too fast? Qian is not yet 16 years old.
"Zlatan?" Arsene Wenger sat in his office, looking at the proud disciple in front of him, and as soon as the passing gun king sat down, he said the first name of next season's recruitment.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic was spotted by his professor many years ago when he was playing for his hometown club Malmo, and he was asked to come for a tryout. As a result, the arrogant Swedish genius refused to join Arsenal after leaving the classic quote: "I Zlatan never trys", and was thus acquired by Dutch giants Ajax.
In the free transfer market this summer, the 34-year-old Swede is naturally the most famous player. Although the unruly and amazingly talented Swedish center forward is older, he ranks first in Ligue 1's scorer list and assist list, and his current double-double data of 23 goals and 10 assists makes people feel that this talented center forward, nicknamed Fengxian, does not look like a veteran in his thirties.
Wenger said hesitantly: "But he's 34 years old, Thierry, we still have dry." ”
Henry frowned slightly, his mentor was old, although he still maintained his ambition for the championship, but after years of failure, his mentor was not as decisive as before in terms of recruitment.
"Boss, Zlatan's physical talent is different from the average striker, in my opinion, at least he can maintain his peak form for two or three years, he has always had few injuries, and bringing in Zlatan will not only solve the problem of the striker, but also stabilize the hearts of Mesut and Alex. He and Qian, will make us stronger, especially in the Champions League. ”
Champions? Arsene Wenger's heart is sick. Thierry is right, today's Arsenal, except for the absence of a nine, the overall strength can compete for the championship. The arrival of Qian, so that Arsenal has a real number nine from now on, if Ibrahimovic can come, it will make the Gunners more powerful, can ensure enough firepower!
Maybe the biggest name of this summer's reinforcement is him, the salary is not a problem, after all, Zlatan is a free transfer, no matter how high the salary is, it can't be higher than the value of the Swedes.
Zlatan, let's continue our fate. Wenger, who stretched his brows, nodded, and it was decided, let's find a time to go back to Paris.
The two men agreed and the cloud of the previous FA Cup defeat was swept away, when the phone on Wenger's desk rang.
"Okay, I got it." Putting down the phone, Wenger smiled and said to Henry: "Go and call the conference room, just say, someone sent him money." ”
