Chapter 279: The Former Wealthy

"In this game, you only have one mission, win!"

It's rare for Arsene Wenger to give such 'rough' commands, but it did appear in the dressing room against Newcastle.

Obviously, all kinds of doubts about Arsenal in the media during this period of time made Wenger very unhappy.

The reason why Cesc Fabregas's saliva is so big is, in the final analysis, that Arsenal was suspected of offside when they scored the last goal, which contributed to the matter.

The media ridiculed Arsenal for not deserving of the promotion and felt unfair for Hull City, but the opinion is only temporary, the game is over, and it is always necessary to move on.

If you want to continue to be noticed, it can only be an event, which is why Fabregas will be unlucky and constantly denounced.

Now when it comes to Cesc Fabregas's saliva, it will inevitably be brought to the quarter-point matchup between Arsenal and Hull City.

Such a situation made Wenger hold back a fire. Originally, during this time, the team fought continuously and suffered from the schedule.

22 hours of time, playing 7 games, playing one game in three days. Not to mention the Premier League, even in other competitions in Europe, it is the most tired team.

worked so hard, and finally his team members were angry, and all lines were red, not only did they not get the recognition of others, but they were arbitrarily accused. No matter how gentle the old man is, he has to explode.

Winning the bottom three of Newcastle and venting his anger is naturally the way Wenger chooses.

The team of Alan Shearer, the former No. 1 striker in the Premier League, England's powerhouse, Newcastle, who had repeatedly participated in the championship and was a regular in the Champions League in the early days, fell into embarrassment after Shearer's retirement.

This season, Newcastle are even deeper in the relegation zone, and there is no bright future in sight.

Thinking about the opponent's current field, even if St James' Park is a football hot spot, but for Arsenal, they are not a threat when they are completely discouraged.

Although the schedule is still very bad, but after more than a day of rest, the spirit of the entire Arsenal team is good, and they are not affected by the media's crazy hype of 'saliva', and slowly appear from the players' tunnel.

"Shhh

"Get out, Londoner!"

"Trash, bugs, you despicable bastards!"

Boos and shouts mingled, and the 50,000-strong St James' Park stadium went berserk.

Although they are now deep in the relegation zone, the team with many famous players such as Owen, Martins, Viduka and Alan Smith still keeps Newcastle United fans confident in their team.

All along, their results have always been in the top half of the table, and they have always maintained their impact on European teams.

Even if their results fell all of a sudden in the past two seasons, this long-term 'local tyrant fan' has been deeply ingrained in the hearts of fans.

The brutality of the northern team was also evident in the Newcastle United fans, who put pressure on the Arsenal players from the first minute they entered the pitch.

The camera sweeps, the magpie, the flag that the locals call the immortal bird flying, even if the results are not good, this St. James's Stadium, which has been around for more than 100 years, is still one of the hottest ball markets.

The loyalty of Nacastle United fans is also among the best in the Premier League.

However, the enthusiasm of the Newcastle United fans seems to be less motivating for their manager, more of a pressure.

Newcastle United manager Kinnear shook Wenger's hand with some awkwardness and returned to his coaching area, but he remained on the sidelines, even before the game started, he did not have the composure he should have.

"Whew, it's Alain, Alain is here!"

"Our God has appeared!"

"Alain came to see the game, is he watching the players?!"

A casual-suited bald man sits in the VIP box of Newcastle United, none other than the Premier League's top scorer and Newcastle legend Alan Shearer.

It is also the recent rumored choice of Newcastle manager. This is one of the sources of Kinnear's uneasiness, as he understands that if he loses this game, he will probably be out of class.

And the focus of this game, the current situation of the home team, is the most worrying and the most mentioned.

"Allan also appeared in this game, this game, Newcastle really can't afford to lose, Newcastle have such a good lineup, playing like this, it's really disappointing."

Lineker couldn't help but sigh when he saw his partner in the day's game.

Newcastle used to be in the limelight in the Premier League, although it was not as good as Manchester United and Arsenal, but it was not far behind the lonely Liverpool.

In recent years, Liverpool has fully recovered, while Newcastle has completely declined, such a contrast is indeed embarrassing.

'That's why Newcastle made a mistake and while Keegan didn't start the season well, it was a terrible decision for Ashley to replace him.

And then the change of manager and the move to sell the club around are the main culprits that have plunged Newcastle into turmoil, and he is not the one who can solve Newcastle's problems. ”

As Mortensen, who has experienced countless club ups and downs, he did not sigh too much, but went straight to the essence of the problem.

'Phew, anyway, the Newcastle players have to prove themselves in this game.'

After an emotional opening statement, Lineker made a summary and immediately introduced the topic to this game, "Let's take a look at Newcastle's starting line-up for this game.

No. 13 Harper; No. 12 Bassoon, No. 2 Kolozzini, No. 27 Steven Taylor, No. 3 Enrique; Ryan Taylor No. 16, Nolan Nolan Nolan, No. 22, Bart, Duff No. 11; Martins 9, Lowenkrantz 24.

The formation of 442 is decent, there is no change, and although Owen is in the squad, he is sitting on the bench, not knowing how he is recovering from his injury. ”

Reading out Newcastle's starting line-up, Linekerdo only said a few more words.

In fact, when he saw this starting list in his heart, he was not optimistic about Newcastle, according to the ferocity of Arsenal in March, it is really difficult for such a squad to beat Arsenal, even if Arsenal is tired like a dog.

"It will be interesting to see if the Newcastle players can take advantage of the home advantage and take the lead, and if they score first, their psychological advantage can be built up so that their game will be easy to play."

Mortensen also questioned Newcastle's quality, but still did not deny Newcastle's hope of picking up points.

"Well, home advantage is the key to Newcastle's points in this game, and now Arsenal's starting XI is also out, take a look.

The goalkeeper position is No. 1 Almunia, the back line No. 3 Sania, No. 10 Gallas, No. 5 Toure and No. 22 Klich.

In midfield, No. 8 Nasri, No. 2 Diaby, No. 6 Hao, No. 15 Denilson, Arshavin rested in this game, and it seems that Wenger still made reservations.

Up front, with No.26 Bendtner and No.11 Robin van Persie, Eduardo injured and Vela adapting, there is nothing to question about these two guys. ”

There is also no big change on Arsenal's side, the only thing that is a little surprising is that Arshavin, one of Arsenal's absolute thighs, is now resting.

But it's normal, in March, except for the game against Roma, he didn't participate because of qualifications, and he played the rest and played the whole game.

Arsene Wenger used him as a lifesaver, and the Russian did not fail to live up to Wenger's trust, with a steady stream of goals and assists.

But after all, Arshavin is a person, and even Xiang Hao has been substituted for two games, and Arshavin is resting in this game, so naturally there is no problem.

'It's a reasonable fit, given their hot form in March, Arsenal still have a lot of hope of getting three points even away from home, the only problem is their fitness disadvantage.

If the Newcastle players can get the game up and play at an exciting pace of the game, and they have any hope of bringing down Arsenal, it will be up to the Newcastle players to grasp that hope. ”

Mortensen analysed Arsenal's situation and pointed out where Arsenal's current destiny is.

The Newcastle manager also knows where Arsenal's goal is now, and although he has a calm personality, he is not perfunctory.

He naturally knows Arsenal's physical disadvantage, so he asks his players to launch an attack as soon as they come up, bring the game and beat Arsenal.

The tactical requirements are so clear that there's no reason why the Newcastle players shouldn't understand it and why they shouldn't follow through.

"Toot!"

After Halsey's whistle, the Newcastle players took the lead in the attack to the anticipation and high-pitched cheers of more than 50,000 home fans.

In the fourth minute, Enrique forced Toure to send Newcastle's first corner, but Steven Taylor headed wide from distance.

Two minutes later, Duff came back from the left and forced Nasri to kick the ball off the line, only for Lowenkrantz to miss Newcastle's second corner.

A series of attacking waves, Newcastle players quickly entered the game, which was eye-catching.

In the tenth minute, Arsenal also reacted, Xiang Hao made a direct pass, and Bendtner's powerful shot from 16 yards on the right side of the penalty area went straight to the dead corner and was saved by Harper.

A minute later, Newcastle responded when Nolan swooped in from outside the box and Almunia couldn't react to the ball before Arsenal were lucky to escape thanks to Bart's follow-up shot.

And Arsenal's luck continues, and Newcastle, who are in form, are attacking more and more.

Former Chelsea winger Duff became Newcastle's most active player up front, and in the 17th minute, after winning the ball, he drove straight into the penalty area and hit the side-netting, shocking the Arsenal players into a cold sweat.

In the 20th minute, Duff fell under the Nasri defense and reached out to Halsiso for a penalty, but unfortunately the referee refused to give a penalty, and the fans at the scene booed, looking very manic, and the Newcastle players were also very dissatisfied.

But in any case, the course of the game was very favorable for them, and it was up to them to see if they could score.
