Chapter 107: The Green Ocean
Although his body was blackened, Yu Mo expressed his gratitude to Wenger for his patience. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The strength of a top underground fighter is not covered, even if the muscles are thick enough, a bowl-sized punch and kick is enough for him to drink a pot. This kind of hard injury has little impact when it is deliberately controlled in training, and when it comes to the actual time of play, the difference will be immediately apparent.
Two consecutive substitute games gave him plenty of buffer time, and by the time the third game came, he was standing in the middle of Highbury Stadium ready to kick off, and his physical sensation was at least ninety percent restored.
The only thing missing is probably the invincible physical feeling when the goal is like a goal.
This match is the final round of the Champions League group stage against Turkish powerhouse Galatasales. Having secured a second place in the group ahead of schedule, Arsenal almost switched to an all-substitute line-up to face their opponents.
In addition to Yumo, there are Wiltord, David Pratt, Parlour, Kevin Ashley, Winterburn, Dixon, Manninger......
With such an old and small lineup, if you meet an opponent who has no desires, you may not fall behind. However, this year's UEFA Cup and Cup Winners' Cup are combined, and the third place in the Champions League group stage will automatically qualify for the Europa League round of 16.
Galatasarays are already nine points clear of second place in the domestic league and if they fail to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League, the Europa League is a hope, so they will be much more motivated than their heavily rotated opponents.
One side is all on the bench and the other is all on the main team, so the game from the beginning did not make it clear which team is the home team and which is the away team.
In fact, for the substitutes, it is quite rare to show their faces in a big scene like the Champions League, even if the outcome of the game has nothing to do with the overall situation. The desire for personal expression does not diminish in the slightest.
It's a pity that in a football game, when the individual ability is not against the sky, the strength of the team is much greater!
The players on the field of the Arsenal team have a strong desire for individual performance, and even a lazy person like Youmo has a lot more ideas in his head than before after failing to start the game for a long time.
Sometimes it's not a bad thing to think too much, and sometimes it's easy to do bad things. Today it's clearly the latter.
On the other hand, their opponents have only one idea.
Victory equals continuation, defeat equals going home!
The huge gap in ideas and the lack of tacit understanding in coordination led to the fact that at the end of the first half, the Arsenal team was already 0:2 behind.
After winning the league halfway through the league two rounds early, the UEFA Champions League, where the Gunners fan's greatest expectation, turned out to be like this, and the whole Highbury was gone.
Booing, invective, leaving the scene......
More unfortunate. In such a seemingly inconsequential game, an old wound at Winterburn recurred, and Arsene Wenger had to use up a substitution before half-time.
The French face is ugly.
In fact, it is not easy to play a game without desire, and it is easy to cause rebellion if the pre-game mobilization is heavy, and it is easy to underestimate the enemy if it is light. Especially for a head coach like him, who is not good at showmanship, it is difficult to adjust the mentality of his disciples in an optimistic atmosphere.
The game in front of you is important, with rankings and points. The bonuses have nothing to do with it, so it doesn't matter. After all, it's Europe's top competition, with a huge audience, and the team will face the Premier League top spot in four days.
If the situation is allowed to deteriorate, and the home team that was originally at the bottom of the group wins or even completes the bloodbath, the morale loss will not be shown for the time being, and the public opinion environment that has just improved will quickly become a mess!
The guy in front of him was sprayed by the media for nothing after only playing for more than ten minutes in the last game. The start was positive, but the result?
Suffering such a defeat at a time when the atmosphere of the team is improving, will some people become more dissatisfied with this guy's behavior?
"Well, at the end of the first half, everyone must have heard boos from the stands. This is both a bad thing and a good thing for us. ”
'You have to play as a team to be competitive and have a lot more fighting spirit than we have, and in the end it is reflected in the scoreline.
"There is still plenty of time to redeem yourself in the second half, and I hope you can repay the fans in the stands with a real performance."
Arsene Wenger's speech came to an end, and the guys here felt a little more at ease.
The more top-level clubs there are, the harder it is for fringe players to mix. This feeling is like living next door to a local tyrant, full of temptation, full of eyes that don't belong to you.
Especially for older veterans, it is inevitable that they will feel powerless when time is running out.
David Pratt, Parloer, Kevin Ashley, Dixon, all of these 30-year-old veterans are all English, they have a lot of popularity in this stadium and have made great memories. Now this scene seems commonplace, and it is not a small blow to them.
The team's main squad is getting younger and younger, and the veterans are almost uncompetitive in all positions except the backline, which has led to them being the Englishmen who have neither face nor depth.
The team has had a good run of momentum in the league and Champions League this season, and although they are not willing to sit on the bench, there is still hope. Now such a difficult game was actually played like this, and the self-blame in their hearts swept over them from the moment the half-time whistle blew, lowering their heads, slowing them down, and confusing their eyes.
The manager surprisingly didn't get angry, which was a big deal for them. But face can't be eaten all the time, and with a full 45 minutes to go in the game in front of them, do you expect the disgraced French and the arrogant Dutch to save them?
With an unstable backline, a chaotic offensive organization, and a lack of scoring points, do you expect that showy guy to cause trouble?
“...... Okay, it's up to you guys for the second half. ”
Wenger could also see that the old fellows were depressed, but unfortunately he was not good at giving an impassioned speech in such a situation, so he sped up and turned to leave, handing the dressing room back to his disciples.
"Uh, lately, how are you?"
David Pratt hesitated in tone. His gaze only stayed on the other party for a while, and then he dodged away from it, as if he would burn his eyes if he continued to look.
He's been completely marginalized on this team and is in great danger of being swept away next summer. You Mo was riddled with negative news during this time, and he felt that he should stand up and express something, but in the end he couldn't make it due to pressure.
In the game in front of them, these old guys played extremely depressed. But his family knows his own affairs, and he knows very well that his physical condition is no longer enough to stay in the team, so he is not very sad in his heart. The guy on the other side has just caused a big disaster, and now is the time to recoup the image loss, and it may be a collapse to play like this.
He felt.
"It's fine." Yu Mo was trying to combat the dreary atmosphere with a deep breath, and was interrupted by him, "Oh, by the way, thank you yet." ”
"Thank me?" David Pratt is a little confused.
Talking the opposite?
"Oh. Looks like Tanya didn't tell you why I went. You Mo scratched his head, approached by the way, lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I went to the underground fighters, it was a good time, and I almost came back lying down!" ”
"Damn!"
David Pratt was shocked by the exciting news, and his previous worries and helplessness were all gone.
I would be worried about such a guy, I'm really full!
"Stephen Guzmán, have you heard of it? It's so awesome, a leg sweep directly made me fly two meters away! You Mo said that he was a little hard to believe. So I lit up my biceps brachii to see if it was thicker than before.
As a result, the patient was unable to maintain strength training during the recuperation period, and instead of getting thicker, his muscles looked like he had lost a lot of weight, and his contours were not as defined as before.
"You guy. It's really heartless ......" David Pratt still couldn't hold back the strong desire to complain, so he could only shake his head and sigh.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Wiltord came over at some point, and although his voice sounded natural, his dodgy eyes were worse than David Pratt's.
The first half was played like this. The performance of the French is indeed not a small culp.
The team has no real offensive organizer on the field, and he, a small man with good skills at his feet, is naturally responsible, and as a result, under his organization, the team's offense is simply miserable!
The dignified Premier League half-way champion actually played 45 minutes before 3 shots on goal, is it a shame to say that it is embarrassing?
The reasons for this are simple and straightforward.
He came off the bench in the last game and scored a world shot after just three minutes, and he was excited all night without sleeping. Although the importance of this race is far less than the next one, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and no matter how bad it is, he can brush his face in front of the world audience!
As a result, the face was brushed many times, and mistakes and background cloth became the main feature.
Youmo was supposed to be his assist, but after making the opponent run away many times, the Frenchman simply felt that he had no shame to face.
"You're talking about beautiful women, are you interested?"
You Mo did not refuse to come, and he didn't feel strange when he saw Wiltord squirming and pinching.
"Beauty, beauty?" The French were dumbfounded.
Apparently he took it seriously.
"Danya went with you?" David Pratt is lazy to pay attention to this wall-to-wall Frenchman, but he seems to have a good topic.
"Yes, I have a trick with her, I feel pretty good, and I am a master among women."
You Mo continued to grin, completely ignoring the surprise of the ears and eyes that looked at him secretly.
"Well, let's talk about it later, it seems like time is running out." David Pratt winked at Yumo and got up.
"Oh, good, but the house has been in strict control lately......"
"Ah, that, I'm sorry, I played too alone in the first half, I'll pay attention in the second half." Wiltord saw that the two guys seemed to be getting up and leaving, and he panicked.
He is very serious about this game, the first half has already proved that his direction is wrong, and in the second half he naturally has to hug his thighs to make up for his mistakes.
"Ashley Cole is warming up outside, you talk to him, and he breaks through and hits me on the head." Yumo stopped and turned his head to look at the Frenchman.
Wiltord's eyes lit up and he quickened his pace, "I thought you didn't care about such a game, really, I actually doubt your professionalism!" ”
"Hey, I say, do you need support from the right side? I mean, help each other? Parol's voice rang out at about the same time, quickly attracting a crowd of onlookers.
This veteran is actually the most unwilling.
When he was only half a year old and 30 years old, he was robbed of the main position by a little guy who was only worth 1.2 million pounds and had only been on the team for a few months?
What a disgrace to the English!
"Absolutely." You Mo nodded, smiled and gave a thumbs up in return.
The sight in front of him was a long time ago, and it felt good to revisit the old place.
Although some things are non-human.
"Fly with both wings, cross from the bottom, outflank in the middle, ok, live together!" David Pratt was suddenly a little excited, and his voice became high-pitched.
"Wowhaha, why does it sound like we are Manchester United?" Wiltord was also a heartless master, and when he said this, he completely forgot about his embarrassed appearance just now.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere that had just warmed up suddenly became a little stiff.
The English have a good face, and they are naturally a little ashamed to imitate their opponents. Although I had to do it due to the situation, I always felt a little awkward in my heart.
"How can a team that only has one style of play go far, David, do you want to see the results of my special training?" You Mo didn't pay attention to what the guys behind him were struggling with, and shouted loudly and sped up.
It is as if the exit of the players' tunnel not far away is a door to a happy time.
"Hahaha, of course!" David Pratt roared angrily and also quickened his pace.
"The results of the special training?" Wiltord rushed to the front of the line and asked innocently.
In fact, the French are a little uncertain.
In that game against Sunderland, Ashley Cole and Ljungberg made at least a dozen passes on the side to find this guy, but this thing not only had a low rate of grabbing points, but also had no crosshairs on goal!
In this game, the team's attack was constipated, and the number of breakthroughs and crosses was sharply reduced, so even if the second half improved, can the real two-goal gap be pulled back?
Is the so-called special training the stopping technique of sharpening the gun in battle?
"Dennis told me that any game requires putting all of your faith into it in order for the soul to resonate and the body to go crazy."
"In his eyes, I haven't reached the limit in the center position and start distracting other positions, which is disrespectful to the god of competition."
"So I decided."
"Like Barty's goal, let everyone who has seen it remember it at first sight!"
"It's my glory, but it also requires your efforts."
"I'm ready, what about you?"
There is no shouting and proclaiming his philosophy, nor is he running in a low voice, and the calm voice is like a long river through the years, and it is almost to that sea of green.
“ready , go!!!” (To be continued.) )
