In this Arsenal team, Pat Rice is a very special existence, although the assistant coach position is not big, and his name is not often in the newspapers, he is an irreplaceable member in the hearts of players, and his influence is far higher than the surface. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason is simple.

Arsene Wenger is a perfectionist, and even if he has a good temper, he can give a sense of distance and make it difficult to get close to. Especially when the power is in hand, whether it is a newcomer who has just taken the position, or the main player in the playing year, or a veteran who has not had much time in his career, he will always feel pressured when getting along with him.

It is very difficult to communicate openly in this situation, so the existence of bridges becomes very important, otherwise misunderstandings can form and cause unnecessary trouble.

The intimate title of "uncle" is exactly what Pat Rice portrays, but strictly speaking, he is more like a nanny, using his tolerance and optimism to maintain the stability and harmony of the Arsenal family.

Such a nanny is actually needed by every team, and Wenger's disciples are fortunate to have one.

They are also very aware that the nanny's physical condition is worrying, and it is only because they can't let go of the Arsenal flag that they are reluctant to leave them, and they appear in every corner of the club year after year. Accompany them to the European competition, help them solve life problems, stand up for them, talk to them, and make them feel warm.

Everyone loves him, even You Mo's popularity is not as good as him.

But now, he's down.

At a critical juncture, he was rushed to the hospital for a heart attack, and his life and death were uncertain.

In fact, the players had already noticed the movement in the coach's bench during the game, but they never imagined that such a thing would happen!

Life and death, originally so far away, are now between the lines, so clear.

This shocked and saddened them, and their hearts felt like they were stuffed with cotton, obviously there was something, but they just felt empty.

Arsene Wenger did not shirk the blame and bluntly said that he caused Pat Rice to have a heart attack, but such reasons could not ease the emotions of the players, and even the game with 45 minutes to end could not contain the sadness, the diversion of attention, and the heavy pace.

They knew very well that a victory was the right thing to do now, but most of them couldn't control their emotions and couldn't reverse the sentimental atmosphere that had been so unbridled that they had permeated.

Arsene Wenger knows this, and perhaps he should hide it and tell them after the game. But his deep self-reproach made him unable to forgive himself, and he had no intention of lying, let alone talking about the old man's life and death at a time when nothing happened, and persuaded his disciples not to worry about being sad.

The manager is like this, how can the players not be infected.

So the entire 15 minutes of the intermission became a memorial service with an extremely heavy heart, and everyone had no intention of fighting, including Youmo.

This guy has the most dealings with Pat Rice, and the relationship is like that of father and son.

Although the age does not look like it.

However, the truth of the matter was obviously well concealed by Wenger, and even the guy who has always had excellent intuition did not realize that he was the real culprit!

There was no suspense at the beginning of the second half, Arsenal's scattered set of people was visible, and the difference in form made Real Madrid coach Bosque misjudge and waste nearly ten minutes in vain!

In the Spaniard's view, after such a first half, the rebound was inevitable. Therefore, for the sake of insurance, it is obviously much better to properly recycle the formation, tie up the Liba, and wait for the opponent's three-plate axe to pass and then counterattack, which is obviously much better than the overlord * hard bow as soon as it comes up.

I didn't expect it!

The offense is weak, the defense is lax, as if what is going on is not a fateful battle related to the gold content of one's career, but like a warm-up game with mediocre interest!

Bosque really didn't understand how an assistant coach could have such a big influence!

can make the team that has already reached the Champions League semi-finals fall apart in an instant and become unmotivated!

But it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, just correct your mistakes in time. So from the 55th minute of the game, Real Madrid no longer deliberately slowed down the tempo, and the stormy offensive blew again!

Lehmann suddenly became the busiest guy on the field.

In fact, he was very busy throughout the game, and the speed of physical passage was really not like what a goalkeeper should have.

The German has a big heart, and his duty is to prevent him from being as emotional as his teammates. When the team was in a stormy state, he did not try to wake his teammates up by yelling, but with a dull and hoarse roar, he resisted like a trapped beast.

He looks so helpless, he could be knocked to the ground at any moment, but every time disaster is about to strike, he can always appear in the most dangerous position, and use his tired body to block the bullets that are about to penetrate the goal!

He didn't try to communicate with Youmo, he knew very well where Pat Rice was in the other party's mind, and he knew better what kind of person the other person was.

He thinks of himself as a warrior and will not allow any harm to befall them until the last drop of blood is shed!

He didn't know how long he could hold on, and his intuition told him that all his efforts would not be in vain, and that there was a providence in the dark!

He didn't know that he had become an enemy of the Bernabeu, he couldn't even hear the voices that booed him, he could only hear the memories that remained in the depths of his mind.

Why complain about the injustice of fate, instead of not working hard enough?

Time slowed down, as if a long time had passed, and the hour hand hanging high in the sky finally passed for 65 minutes.

It's time for a changeover!

In fact, the substitution should have been carried out a long time ago, but the whole team is not in shape, and no one can really change the situation.

In the end, Arsene Wenger's choice was unsurprising.

Grimandi down, Rosicky up.

Such a substitution adjustment seems very risky, but there is no way, Arsenal's current combat effectiveness cannot even play eighty percent, only abused. If you don't find a way to make a fuss in the attack, Iron Man will also be pierced by countless bullets!

It's just that the team's defense line was originally in a state of turmoil, and it rashly removed a back midfielder and changed to a 442 diamond-shaped midfielder, can it withstand the opponent's fierce offensive?

If not, wouldn't Lyman's efforts be in vain?

Forget it, it's a life to be eliminated anyway, and a dead horse should be a live horse doctor.

There are no longer a few people who think this way, and Rosicky has high hopes for them, as if he has become the winner and loser of the game.

It's a pity that the reality is like a scoop of cold water, which quickly wakes up people who are lucky.

In the 71st minute of the game, Real Madrid launched an offensive on the left side, and Robert Carlos took advantage of Lauren's weak point of slow turning to overtake in the corner, and passed to Redondo in an inverted triangle at the bottom line!

The Argentine's movements are a combination of virtual and real, and the rhythm is extremely smooth, and after changing direction twice in a row, Youmo failed to keep up with the pace, allowing the opponent to pass a beautiful diagonal crossing!

Raul came out of the shadow of Kolo Toure and scored his eighth Champions League goal of the season!

2：0！

The big score is 3:2, Real Madrid is completely reversed!

Watching the ball end up in the net, Lehmann lay on the goal line and slowly closed his eyes.

Tears spilled out of the corners of his eyes, down the stream, and disappeared into the dirt.

.......

All the Arsenal people who have watched the last 20 minutes have been worried, and the three guys in the stands are no exception.

They didn't know exactly what was going on, and their instincts told them that something unusual must be happening. As bystanders, and far away bystanders, they are powerless and unable to do anything if they want to, so they can only pray silently in their hearts.

The expected conceded goal instead made them let go of their baggage, break the silence, and start to have fun in their misery.

"It's okay now, losing one is also losing, losing two is also losing, good things come in pairs."

Wang Dan said with a wry smile, his eyes refused to stare at the field, so he turned his head to look at the other two guys.

Zhang Xiaorui's psychological tolerance seems to be much stronger than before, and he can still look calm in this situation, as if the situation is under control.

Pu Wei was not a guy with strong psychological quality in the first place, but now he is even more unbearable, and his whole person is languishing to his seat, and it looks like he may fall asleep at any time.

In fact, I didn't dare to look at it anymore, for fear of being pierced through the heart by a bigger blow.

"I really can't see it, it seems that the delicate guy has more than he can think of it, and the guy with a big grin turns out to be a paper tiger!" Wang Dan said lazily that he didn't plan to continue singing a one-man show, so he turned his head and looked around aimlessly.

She didn't really want to watch it anymore, she wanted to know more about what Yumo was thinking and what was going on than the results.

Everything seemed very weird, and it sent chills down her spine and a chill down her spine.

"My sister-in-law has won the prize."

Zhang Xiaorui was finally willing to turn his head to look at her, but his voice was still calm without a trace of emotion.

"The boss told me before the game that you can only reach your full potential by fighting with your back to the water, and it is better to come here with the advantage of one goal, than to come here one goal behind."

Hearing this, the guy who was said to be a paper tiger couldn't help it.

Pu Wei was full of resentment, using both hands and feet, punching and kicking.

"Nonsense, what's not to want to win in the first round? And both goals were scored by your boss, so if you don't want to come here with a lead, why fight so hard to win the first leg? ”

"yes, why?" Wang * Dan was aroused by his curiosity, and it was rare to stare at the little fat man in front of him with wide eyes.

Just like the role she played with him on that long trip to Hiroshima six years ago.

"The reason is actually quite simple."

Zhang Xiaorui never sold Guanzi, he didn't dare before, but now he doesn't want to.

"We all know that the outcome of the game is the most important, and the process is second,"

"But when the outcome of a game is not decisive, the reusability of the process has already surpassed the result."

"For example, in the last round, you tried your best but couldn't win your opponent, and you were obviously strong but didn't use your best and didn't win in the end, what's the difference?"

"Obviously, everyone missed a great opportunity to improve their strength!"

"In the long season, only those teams that can improve themselves through the game and use the game as a learning opportunity can have the last laugh!"

"Back then, the boss told us that even if we lost, we couldn't go back empty-handed!"

Hearing this, Wang Dan finally couldn't help but interrupt.

"What about this game, you tell me, isn't it called empty-handed if you play like this?"

Zhang Xiaorui hesitated slightly, and his eyes quickly became no longer hesitant.

"Wait and see, there will be a Jedi counterattack!"

......

Will there be a Jedi counterattack?

Looking at the score that still gives people a glimmer of hope, everyone is not willing to give up. Thinking of their previous performance, everyone is reluctant to invest in emotions anymore and hopes to reverse the decline.

After conceding the second goal, the Arsenal players finally regained some form and began to focus on the game. Although the situation is diminished, there is still time to come, and they only need to score one goal to drag the game into extra time or even penalties.

This rekindled hope in their hearts, and as their movements accelerated, their hearts began to call out the familiar name.

What is he doing?

Muddy for a whole game?

As the focus of attention, You Mo didn't know what he was doing.

In fact, he often thinks about life on the field, and his head will desert from time to time, but he can eventually find himself and break down the obstacles in front of him in his own way.

It's just that this blow hit him in the soft underbelly, leaving him in a sense of emptiness and anxiety that he had never felt before, desperate to know what happened to Pat Rice.

He has many years of experience in medicine and knows very well what the cause of heart disease is, but unfortunately he was not present at the time of the incident, and there was no way to confirm the condition, let alone take measures to save his life. He also knows Wenger's temperament, and knows that a mild-mannered guy who loses his temper will be much more terrible than a guy who loses his temper often.

He originally thought that the two had a disagreement of opinion, so that years of friendship could not prevent arguments and hurt each other.

It wasn't until he saw Lyman's tears, like a bolt of lightning flashing through his mind, that he finally remembered that he had overlooked something!

With Arsene Wenger's perfectionist character, can he accept the fact that he has been kept in the dark?

If you can't, take the initiative to ask him?

What kind of system?

In fact, he didn't mean to hide it, but he just felt that the team was in a state of leading the score and could not play its potential, and it was not enough to reverse the situation, so he kept moving.

Just like the final six years ago.

He knew that his point of view would not be accepted, so he used it as an excuse to hide his secret.

As a result, he ignored the father who took the initiative to take the blame when his son was in a big disaster.

Now that the father is down, life and death are uncertain, what about the son?

Sink in thoughts, kill time in confusion?

No!!!!!

Since you can't escape the arrangement of fate, then look up to the sky and laugh, or howl and sing.

I smiled at the sky with my horizontal knife, and went to leave the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun.

......

In the 75th minute of the game, the jubilant crowd at the Bernabeu Stadium enjoyed something that surprised and amused them.

The guy who threatened to surprise his opponent before the game, after 75 nightmarish minutes with the team, did not rush to the death, but let out a wolf-like roar.

After hearing and seeing clearly, they laughed in unison, and sent a testimony that the other party was grandstanding, and they whistled together, and the louder and louder they blew, and soon overshadowed all the sounds, and the ears of the shock hurt.

So they had to stop and continue watching the game.

As a result, they found that the other party was still not finished, still ignoring the ongoing game, and roaring hoarsely.

They laughed, and in addition to laughing, they felt that superfluous things would make the other person feel a sense of accomplishment. (To be continued.) )
