Chapter 135: So Early
The full-time score was finally locked at 4:1, and the last goal was still missing Youmo. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Substitute veteran Garde smashed a shot directly into the net from outside the penalty area, which was a successful end to the game.
However, such a big victory still can't hide the hidden worries.
As the overall manager, it is undoubtedly unreasonable to just focus on the game in front of him, so Wenger's concern is not unreasonable.
When the feet are smooth, the excitement of the whole person will increase significantly, and what will follow is tireless running.
It doesn't matter if it's 1:0, 2:0, 3:0, nothing can stop the desire to attack!
If it's a guy who is in his year of fighting and has strong physical fitness, he can basically adjust completely in a week. If one of the two is missing, the risk rises greatly, and neither is available, which can only be described as "death".
This is actually the main reason why many teams tend to be mediocre after big wins.
Mentally and physically overdrawn, what can you use to challenge your next opponent?
You must know that after this game, there will be two consecutive weeks of double matches a week, including a revenge battle against Chelsea at home, and a Champions League round of 16 match against Inter Milan at home!
Needless to say, the importance of the two games is needless to say, and there are still many hidden dangers in the current situation of the team.
The competitiveness of the main squad is still at the top in the Premier League, but the number of powerful rotation players is too small and too old!
The central defender Dixon is a year older than the 33-year-old veteran captain Adams, the left-back Winterburn who has just returned from injury and entered the 18-man squad is 32 years old, the left midfielder David Pratt is 33 years old, the right midfielder Gard is 34 years old, and the defender Kevin Ashley is 32 years old, if these old men play together, the average age of the players on the field will be more than 30 years old!
Compared to them. At the age of 29, Lyman not only does not look old, but envies everyone.
What a classic car worthy of its name!
In addition, Youmo has just turned 19 years old, and Ashley Cole is only half a year older than him, and even if these two guys are physically better, Wenger will use them cautiously.
The schedule is so intensive. With such a thin squad, the manager will naturally not sit still. However, it is difficult to have the immediate combat power that can gain a foothold in the team in the transfer market in the winter window, and if you find that you can't use it after buying it, it will be worth the loss with the other.
Open source is unlikely, the importance of throttling suddenly increased greatly, this game against Southampton, Wenger began to use substitutions from the 60th minute to reduce the team's attacking desire, but the effect was limited.
The players on the field, except for Ashley Cole, are all old fritters on the field, why can't they be excited?
The reason is not difficult to imagine.
Locker room discord. Fights, transfer rumors, cheating scandals are known all over the world...... In such an atmosphere, everyone's mood is difficult to say comfortable, so a hearty victory becomes the best way to relieve stress.
Wenger also knew this, and although he was helpless, he didn't say anything to remind him, but just said a few words casually when the whole team gathered to return.
As soon as the head coach left, those guys who were so excited that they couldn't hold back naturally couldn't wait.
Ashley Cole immediately rushed over and put his arm around Yumo's shoulder. Discuss where to celebrate in the evening. It took Ljungberg three games to regain his form, and at this point he came over and added fuel to his feet with excitement on his face. Even the two Dutchmen, who had always been few words, approached with smiles on their faces. Listen quietly.
Not far from the crowd, Lyman, who was a little depressed in his heart, was infected by the atmosphere and pricked up his ears to practice hearing.
Unsurprisingly, Yumo turned down Ashley Cole's strong invitation, and instead turned to Bergkamp for advice.
This game is a big learning for him, and now is the time to catch up on the old and learn from the past.
The advice given by the Dutch really tasted clear to the beholder.
"The so-called fast counter-attack on the ground, you don't need to pay attention to your teammates' ball handling when you are running. You just have to run as much as you can after observing. When it is really in the open position or close to offside, there will naturally be plenty of time to observe and adjust. β
Hearing this, You Mo immediately understood the problem.
In his previous time at Kaiserslautern, the team's expertise was to play with mid- and long-range passes on the fast counter-attack. As the fulcrum, he can't still rush forward with his head covered when his teammates are looking for him. This habit of running and observing naturally slows down the pace of progress, and often does not keep up with the rhythm of teammates in the current rapid counterattacks of ground flow.
In fact, to put it bluntly, there is still not enough trust.
The guy who comes out of the civilian team often has a certain inertia in his thinking consciousness, and often measures and judges the level of his former teammates, and finally misses the opportunity.
Now his teammates are all world-class players, and situations that seemed unsolvable in the past often take unexpected turns with their superior individual ability. This kind of turnaround doesn't happen very often in a close game, and it would be a shame to miss it out of mindset.
The balance between individual competence and teamwork is constantly changing, and when to emphasize individual competence and when to emphasize teamwork, both need to have a clear awareness to be fully prepared. He is just starting out now, and he still needs to be tempered by continuous competitions.
As a result, the schedule density, which gave the head coach a headache, became a sweet spot in his eyes.
......
On February 3, 1999, three days before the Chinese New Year's Eve, Arsenal welcomed an uninvited guest at home.
Chelsea for the Blues, and the Russians locked on camera in the stands.
Roman Abramovich!
Since the loan to renovate the club's stadium was paid off, Chelsea have made a number of eye-catching moves in the transfer market. Although the players they found were a little older, they were all powerful players who had proven their worth. The team's tactical style of play has also made a rapid transition away from the traditional English impact type, and after two seasons, their style has taken shape.
Against strong teams, they defend solidly and wait for opportunities to counter-attack. When facing mid-table teams, they develop tactics according to the characteristics of the opponent, either attacking or outwitting. When facing a relegation weaker. They are bullied with the same ruthlessness.
With individual ability, tactical flexibility, and a variety of games, such a team has quickly attracted enough attention that even the Premier League broadcast is still in the country with regional coverage, and many fans are familiar with it.
Of course. Most of the reason they attract them is the names that are star-studded enough.
Zola, Vialli, Deschamps, De Huye, Leboeuf, Sinclair, Di Matteo...... And Gullit, who has already left. These names have all been heard like thunder, and now they are starting to enter the end of their careers, but the attention they bring is growing as the name Chelsea has become more popular.
Same with Arsenal. They have also become Premier League upstarts.
However, while the veterans bring experience, they will also face the impact of a dense schedule, especially in the Christmas schedule known as the devil, where they have only a mediocre record of one win and two defeats, and have been overtaken by Liverpool at the top of the table, currently sitting in fourth place, and Champions League qualification is in doubt.
In this situation, the arrival of Abu and Ruble is undoubtedly the best weapon to stimulate the development of this team in the direction of giants.
The veterans inject style into the team. The guys who are playing are the ones who breathe the soul into the team, and the young players are the ones who breathe life into the team. And everything behind this is inseparable from the word "money"!
Chelsea's veterans have done their job well, and it would be naΓ―ve to expect them to push themselves beyond the past. The team's youth training and scouting system are under active construction, and the young people are growing rapidly. But in just two or three seasons, their still immature shoulders are still difficult to carry the heavy responsibilities left by the veterans.
Arsenal have made a beautiful comeback under Arsene Wenger's vision, while Chelsea have not had that luck, and the club's finances have just improved and have been dragged down by rising player salaries and are now overwhelmed.
The club's chairman, Bates, was decisive when Chelsea sold Stamford Stadium. Won everything again for the bankrupt club.
The situation he faces now is simple.
To continue to hold the team will require a bold deal with the veterans, and then focus on the youngsters, playing an unknown role in the increasingly fierce competition.
The decisive sale of the club to Abu will continue to expand the current attention, and it may still appear as a local tyrant for a few years, but as long as the Russians are determined enough, the road to a big club is imminent.
The two options seem to be clear at a glance, but there is one point that cannot be ignored.
In the rapidly developing Premier League, where teams are doubling in value, selling a team in the current situation is undoubtedly a commercial short-sightedness!
Personal sentiment or business interest?
No one knows the answer, and perhaps the current Bates doesn't know either.
Abu didn't know the answer.
"How's it going?"
Tanya is now a translator for Russians, and lately she has been running errands a lot.
Buying a club is not something that can be done by throwing money at it, and it is not that Abu has not tried the possibility of Wang Dan and Zhang Nanyy, but in the end he can only retreat.
1 billion pounds!
This price is far from what the Russians have in mind, and there is really no need to waste time. Moreover, Arsenal is a joint-stock club, and it is very difficult to completely privatize it.
In addition to Chelsea and Arsenal, Abou is also interested in Manchester United, but the Red Devils' consul Kenyon is not even bothered to open the price, and directly refuses.
In addition to these three, Tottenham Hotspur chairman Levy, who is also in London, took the initiative to come to the door and expressed his intention to transfer.
"If I say yes so quickly, it won't necessarily be a good thing for me." Abu smiled and waved his hand to signal the other party to calm down.
Tanya and he have been playmates since childhood, and at the moment they still put their hands on each other's shoulders and complained, "I said so, but I can't figure out what he's hesitating about." I'm going to die of exhaustion, when can I go on vacation on your yacht? β
"It's coming, it's coming."
The familiar feeling and unfamiliar environment made the smile on Abu's face stiffen, "I guess it's emotional, it is said that when he took over, the club was in debt and the stadium was sold. β
After all, Danya had lived in London and seemed familiar with it, "yes, it was in the 70s, when it was almost converted into a supermarket or a residential area, and then he paid off all his debts and bought the club for a nominal price of 1 pound, and then it took a full ten years of litigation to win the stadium back." β
"Think about it, it took 25 years to bring a club on the verge of bankruptcy to where it is now, what would you do if you were to do it?" Abu nodded, his gaze becoming more focused.
On the court, the players of the two teams were shaking hands in line, and the figures made him a little inexplicably excited.
What does it feel like to be at the helm of a club, win championship after title, and leave countless memorable moments?
"I heard that they are already in debt of more than 10 million pounds, what is there to hesitate, and their feelings cannot be used as food, let alone money!"
Danya pursed her lips, her tone a little disdainful.
After all, Russian girls are young and cannot understand deep feelings other than love and affection.
And that's exactly what happened.
Chelsea Football Club now has a bit of a swollen face and fat man, but it is only because of Bates' strong reputation that the financial crisis has not been prolonged.
But if we keep doing this, will we not repeat the mistakes of the past?
"It's such a reason, you don't want to ignore the mood when you really make a decision. Just like taking the initiative to end a difficult marriage, it's inevitable to think of the past when making decisions. Abu remained patient, with a smile on his face.
"Yes, once people get old, they become nostalgic."
Tanya shook her head slightly, trying to look away, but she still couldn't help but fall on the guy in the middle of the field.
The sentry field sounded, and the figure that made her helpless quickly moved.
"What about you, do you still think about what happened when we were children?" Abu followed her gaze and took the initiative to change the subject.
"Of course, I'm 27 years old......" Tanya sighed, still not wanting to talk.
"The guy who is six years younger than me actually says that he is old, what should I do?" Abu smiled, stretched out his big hand, and slapped it on the other's shoulder.
"He's only 19 years old, why does he feel older than you?" Danya was still lazy, and it took a while to respond.
"So I feel that this kind of thing is the most deceitful, and the same is true for women who fall in love." Abu didn't give up, his hands were spread, his eyes were wide open, and the corners of his mouth were tilted downward.
"Women are more emotionally affectionate, and any small signal can arouse their senses. In fact, many women actually understand that they may have been deceived, but they are unwilling to admit it. Tanya sighed again.
"Does it feel good to live in a dream? I think it's time for you to find something to divert your attention. β
"I've been tired lately, so let's finish this matter."
"If possible, let's continue my studies, what's wrong with studying medicine, treating diseases and saving people."
"You don't know my rebellious mentality, if Dad's attitude could have eased a little at that time, I would probably have persevered."
"He regretted it a long time ago, you have been floating for so many years, and nothing has been settled."
"Forget it, don't mention him, watch the game."
"Ah, a player is injured!"
"So early? I'm so unlucky, who is it? (To be continued.) )
