Chapter 81: Not for Me

Attendance was mediocre for the weekend game against Leeds United, with around 10% of the seats vacant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is an unbelievable thing for a team that has won 7 and drawn 3 out of 10 league games and 1 win and 1 draw in the Champions League.

Like the English media, London fans do not welcome the club's approach, and many are resistant to Youmo's presence. In their view, there is no need for Arsenal to set themselves up as public enemies of the Premier League, let alone offend all the English, to the point that it is thankless to shoot the first bird.

This is London, England, not Paris, France!

In addition, Arsene Wenger's remarks about the Premier League and the public opinion environment are not conducive to talent development have also offended many fans, and many people have not gone to watch the game to protest.

To be honest, this approach still has some influence on the club's hierarchy.

With matchday revenues declining, the club's total revenue is naturally shrinking, and construction of the new stadium will begin in two months' time, and no one can turn a blind eye to the bottomless funding gap.

Fortunately, the team's record is still strong, and Wenger still has the greatest trust and power, otherwise any club other than Manchester United would have been an internal earthquake.

But there will always be ups and downs in the record, and there will be times when the team's performance is not satisfactory. Expecting the team to play well all season and come back to life every time is a fantasy that only those who live in a dream have.

This is actually the cruelty of professional sports.

As a head coach, you can't ignore the impact of your words and actions at any time. Those who think they have capital to squander are all beaten to death on the beach by the back waves!

Arsene Wenger is on the cusp right now.

At 3:15 p.m., the game started on time.

“....... Roberto's MRI results came back and no surgery was needed. ”

Although the results are not too bad, Pat Rice is still worried.

"Well, keep a close eye on it, and I will be the first to know everyone's physical condition during this time."

Arsene Wenger's face is also not good-looking.

As a lover of art football and a believer in perfect football, this kind of stadium violence has always been hated by him. But the facts in front of him were there, and he had to attach great importance to it and quickly find a way to deal with it.

Last season, they gave up the Premier League title because of injuries, and if this season repeats itself, the media will not have the slightest sympathy, and the fans will think that they have done it themselves!

'I think the pressure on the FA should continue.' Pat Rice said: "They shouldn't turn a blind eye to the fact that violent fouls can make the league less enjoyable and have a direct impact on the Premier League's overall competitiveness! ”

Wenger nodded slightly, frowned, and said: "The current atmosphere of public opinion is not suitable for public pressure, and you can talk to the people in the alliance through internal channels." ”

Pat Rice nodded, trying to say something, but didn't.

What to say?

The British are known for their stubbornness and conservatism, and they have always thought that their own things are the best, and no matter how advanced the concept of foreign monks is, they must survive their unreasonable physical collision in order to get a chance of recognition.

Regardless of the unreasonable fit of this kind of body collision, what kind of impact the scale will have on the growth of the player, not to mention the negative effects of frequent injuries!

And the huge success of Manchester United last season has raised the appetite of the English, with an attitude of looking down on others, flaunting themselves and belittling others.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Ferguson is also seeking change, and the tactical style of play is becoming more and more continental, and the traditional British style of play has long been thrown aside.

"How's Mo's physical condition?"

After a moment of silence, Wenger asked.

"It's not bad, he has a high level of self-discipline, and he can keep his body in a relatively stable state with almost no supervision."

Talking about the guy on the field, Pat Rice's frowning brow finally loosened a little.

As the first assistant coach, the lack of self-discipline of the players gives them the most headaches, especially those who gain ten pounds during the holidays, not because they eat too much, "lazy" is just a word!

The beauty is in the arms, the wine is in the mouth, a high night is a night, and a sleep during the day is a day. After such a vacation, no matter how high the talent is, it will be discounted due to physical reasons, not to mention those guys whose talent is just average and rely on physical fitness to eat.

"Hmm......" Wenger pondered for a while and said: "He has been under pressure lately, so he still needs to communicate more and don't think too maturely." ”

Pat Rice nodded yes, his eyes continuing to chase the guy on the field, carefully observing his every move.

Slowly, I seem to have discovered something.

After a while, the old man in England was a little excited, stretched out his hand and touched the head coach next to him and said: "Do you see, not only is he not negligent in training, but his skills are more calm than before!" ”

Wenger's eyes did not focus on someone like an assistant, and he was a little disapproving when he heard this, "That's natural, Dennis has personally instructed him for so long, there will definitely be progress!" ”

"No, no." Pat Rice pointed to the brisk guy on the court, "It feels like he's more focused than before, and he's more detailed and well-rounded before handling the ball!" ”

Wenger thought that he couldn't see such a subtle change in a short time, so he nodded with a smile: "Maybe this trip to the World Cup has allowed him to put his mind at ease and be able to devote himself to the current environment." ”

"Perhaps." The smile on the corner of Pat Rice's mouth became more and more obvious, "What an unexpected bonus!" ”

......

Unexpected gains?

It's pretty much the same.

All along, Li Juan's affairs have been like a sharp sword hanging over his heart, as long as he thinks about it, he will be tortured and restless.

Her career, family, and environment are full of too many uncertainties. The longing brought about by the long-term absence magnifies this uncertainty until it forms a shadow and envelops the heart.

He couldn't help but think about it, but there was no perfect solution, he could only wait, wait in the midst of hardship.

Waiting is painful, especially when it is likely to be fruitless. Thanks to his big heart, he can not be crushed by longing, and can maintain a stable state of mind while waiting.

Now, finally, you can, look up to the sky and roar, and devote yourself to it!

"Yo, it's only been a few days, and the progress is obvious!"

Lyman's loud voice sounded behind Youmo, and there was a hint of playfulness.

The German is a natural optimist, and while the current dangerous environment may make others feel worried, this benevolent brother is full of mission and energy.

It's a pity that as a goalkeeper, he can't move around on the field, and in the face of those rough tackles, the German is often powerless and can't help his teammates vent their bad anger.

Now this guy whose strength is more terrifying than himself has finally returned, and the grievances that have been in place for days are finally expected to be returned.

But before it can be recovered, the attentive Germans have made a new discovery!

This guy is comfortable with the ball at the back, and he is a clear improvement compared to before!

What's the situation?

"Men and women match, don't get tired of work!" You Mo didn't look back, but his voice was very leisurely.

This product is actually the same as the girls in the women's football team, and they hate parting. It's a pity that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, and now Arsenal needs his presence more than ever.

"Actually playing football with women, you guy......" Lyman was a little speechless, and after a while he shouted: "They have suffered a lot of losses recently, find a way to give those rough guys a little bit of a look!" ”

For the sake of secrecy, the Germans communicated with him in German. However, at this time, he obviously ignored the existence of the manager, so before he could answer Youmo, Wenger's unkind voice came.

"Tins, don't provoke him!"

As the head coach, he dare not ignore the psychological state of his disciples. Wenger repeatedly emphasized calmness and rationality during this time, but he was afraid that their revenge would ruin the big thing.

"Got it!" Like a defeated rooster, Lyman drooped his head and replied angrily.

Listening to the Germans waving the white flag, You Mo was finally willing to turn back, "The boss's eyes are bright, and he can't be clever." ”

Hearing this, Wenger didn't feel sick, but Lehmann understood, his big eyes blinked violently, and he looked like "everything is in plain sight".

You Mo felt a chill and quickly turned his head.

The game had been played for almost 20 minutes, and after a fierce battle at the beginning, Arsenal gradually took the initiative and began to besiege their opponents.

Leeds United is also an old powerhouse in the Premier League, and its morale is much stronger than the average middle and lower teams. The desire to control the ball makes them focus on control in the battle for the half-ball, supplemented by destruction, and do not use rough movements to their advantage.

Arsenal like this kind of opponent the most.

The physical condition of the players in the technical stream is often average, and the confrontation of hard bridges and hard horses is far less eye-catching than those black and hard guys. But when both sides are not conservative and think about attacking when they take the ball, the technical advantage is quickly reflected, and the continuous and rapid rhythm change makes the opponent only tired and passive.

Leeds United originally planned to take advantage of your illness to kill you, but at this time they found that their strength was not enough, not enough to support their win-win situation and result.

They made a strategic mistake and paid the price.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Leeds United's attack was unsuccessful, and after a series of skillful cooperation, Wiltord, who appeared in the left midfield position in this game, sent a wonderful assist, and Henry stabbed the goal in front of the goal!

After the goal, the two hugged each other tightly, looking full of affection, and You Mo was cold again.

This thing has just come back from the women's pile, and for a while and a half, I really don't get used to the group of guys around me who are below average.

Lehmann wasn't too excited, and the Germans were still thinking about what had happened before, so they leaned over and said, "It's strange, they played so gently in this game?" ”

You Mo squinted his eyes at the guy who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and reminded: "Be honest, you are already on the boss's blacklist." ”

When Lyman heard this, he was really anxious, and said hatefully: "What can I do as a goalkeeper?" If you're afraid, I'll be, I'll ......."

Listening to the electricity of the little overlord repeater, You Mo persuaded him with good words: "You just talk to the captain to see if he also has this meaning?" ”

"Huh?" Lehmann froze, and his mind couldn't help but think of the previous game, Vieira rushed forward in a rage, and almost received a red card and went straight to the field.

"So, don't worry, the gun shoots the first bird." You Mo looked at the Germans and fell into deep thought, and rarely had the patience to explain: "The opponent is waiting for you to be provoked, and then raise your fist to retaliate." ”

Lyman is actually a top character who is naughty and mischievous, and when he heard this, he immediately reacted, and said with a smile: "That's it, that's easy to say, I'm not in a hurry!" ”

......

There's really no need to rush.

Not all teams like to play rough, and at least a third of the 20 teams in the Premier League disdain to use that tactic to their advantage.

Leeds United is one of them.

On this trip to Highbury, their goals are not high, but the low goals do not mean that they are not motivated, they just want to use a more competitive attitude to compete with their opponents. So after falling behind 0:1, they still did not change their strategy and were still trying their best to attack.

Even if they lost in the end, they did not change their original intentions.

Because his head coach is called David O'Reilly.

The Irishman, a former assistant to George Graham, played for Arsenal FC for 20 years, starting in 1973. His record of appearances is 722 games, which no one has broken so far. His position is center back, and because of his long legs, he is called "Spider-Man" by fans.

He didn't go along with the brutal side of the crowd when his former club was the target of the crowd, and he eventually led the team to a spectacular goalscoring campaign at Highbury Stadium.

The result of the match was 1:4: a score destined to be ridiculed by the media.

But the young people under him can feel the pride from the bottom of their hearts.

The average age of this Young Guard is less than 22 years old, and many of them have already made their mark and become targets for the wealthy. This season they will be aiming to finish in the top six and qualify for Europe, as they are two points away from that defeat.

They don't regret it, they feel the strength from the words and actions of the manager.

"It's nice to see you back in this stadium."

After the game, Wenger had a restrained smile on his face and held his opponent's hands with a lot of force.

"The direction of your efforts is not wrong, the traditional British style of play is too single, and it is not enough to develop at a higher level in the past." David O'Reilly is not without regret, "It's a pity that we are not enough to pose a threat to you on a completely new path. ”

"Keep up the good work, and we will feel threatened from you." Wenger nodded solemnly.

"Yes, I hope you continue to prove yourself on the battlefields of Europe." David O'Reilly let go, nodded slightly, and turned away.

on the field.

Henry, who scored two goals, ran over excitedly, and before he could reach the front, he had already raised his fist, "You are really our lucky star!" ”

Youmo's attention is on the manager, although he is a senior fan, but not a senior Arsenal fan, he really has no impression of this kind of character that exists in black and white pictures. After looking at it for a while and not noticing, he turned his head and high-fived the opponent in the air.

"Your progress bar is much faster than mine, and if this continues, it's time for us to change our goals."

Henry's eyes lit up for a moment.

"No, your contribution to the team can't be measured by goals alone!"

Hearing this, You Mo was still lazy and couldn't lift his energy.

"A game without the smell of gunpowder doesn't really suit my ......." (To be continued.) )
