The King of the Arsenal Cup is back! Boost Arsenal's title race! —The Times

Striker Race! Who does Arsene Wenger pick? —The Guardian

"Momentum is like a rainbow! It's time to kill the wolf! - Daily Mail

…

Arsenal settled Burnley 3-0 cleanly at home, making the Arsenal wind that was already high this month blow again, making Arsenal the most exciting team in England.

The previous series of ups and downs began at Manchester United and ended at Manchester United. Having won the League Cup, Arsenal is now an absolutely top team in the eyes of the media.

"Obviously, Roma are against a team that has always been extremely strong, and going to England is probably the most difficult challenge for Roma this season."

…

'It's possible for Roma to qualify, but it was definitely a great comeback and there's no doubt that at the Emirates Stadium Arsenal have the absolute advantage, but the Roma are tenacious enough to help them.'

…

'Totti has the responsibility and the ability to lead his team to a comeback in England. But the question is, who can stand up to Arsenal's No.6, Taddai? He looked much stronger than Tadei. ”

…

"Hao will be the key figure in deciding this game, this is Arsenal's strongest point, De Rossi is suspended, Hao has no opponent, as always, Arsenal's ball will be more through Hao to attack."

…

Roma Sport, one of the largest newspapers in Italy's professional sports publication, was similarly not very optimistic about its team when it came to a pre-match preview of its team, and there was a sense of pessimism.

De Rossi was banned from the game, and they could only call the captain to call the team, and on the Arsenal side, as they analyzed themselves, Xiang Hao was an insurmountable obstacle for them.

And here in England, Arsenal was originally in full swing during this time, and it was playing at home. These media and football commentators are naturally optimistic about Arsenal.

'There's no doubt that Arsenal will be the team that qualifies, they have an away goal advantage, this is their home stadium and they have no reason to fail.'

'I think yes, Arsene Wenger has rotated his squad in a reasonable way, and although the schedule is intensive, for Arsenal they are ready to deal with it.

'Ho got a break and their forwards started scoring goals, which is a good thing, they look pretty good at the back, which is great news for their defence.

…

and the slightly pessimistic estimate of the Italian side, the British people are full of this game, Wright, Keegan, Adams and others are optimistic about Arsenal to advance this game.

In terms of the treatment of Roma in London City, Arsenal fans also have their own confidence that they did not disturb the rest of the visiting players.

In fact, compared to the last time Arsenal went to Rome City, the series of unlucky things encountered, the Roma players were quite lucky, there was no plane delay, the weather in London was rare and sunny, and the venue, Stamford Bridge was also rented.

The Romans also seemed to know that their game was not going to be easy, although they arrived two days early and actively entered the stage of preparation.

On Arsenal's side, this is even more so, they have a one-goal advantage away from home, and they can't afford to be on their own.

Arsene Wenger had already issued a must-kill order after the FA Cup game against Burnley. Originally, the old man was stuck tightly during this time, and now he is even more strict to the point of being beyond measure.

"Pass! Run up and pass! Pay attention to where you stand with each other! ”

"Abu, don't hesitate to play the ball! Hurry up, or you'll get snapped easily! ”

…

The old man himself blew the whistle and urged the players to train.

"Arthur, wouldn't this be too strong?"

During the training break, Uncle Rice came to Wenger's side and reminded him appropriately.

Originally, Arsenal was crowded during this time, and Wenger made the players highly concentrated in training, and Rice was afraid that the effect would backfire.

'It's got to get the players out of shape, Rice, and every game we're playing now is like a final.'

The solemn Wenger shook his head and said firmly, feeling that his tone was a little heavy, Wenger said again: "Let Colin give them a check-up after training, and then give them a full-body relaxation massage." Hey, it's a pity that Levy was taken away by Capello. ”

There was some regret, but Wenger did not relax in the slightest about the training requirements themselves.

Clearly, Arsene Wenger is looking to make a breakthrough in Europe.

It would be a bit self-defeating to say that Arsene Wenger's goal is to be champions. In fact, Wenger just wants to boost the morale of the whole team through the European season, improve the aura of the whole team, and shape the temperament of 'I am a European giant', forming a reaction force to make up for it in the domestic competition.

Arsene Wenger is well aware of what his team is doing right now. With 10 rounds left in the league and 11 points behind Manchester United, the league is basically hopeless, unless Manchester United has a big accident, but according to Arsene Wenger's knowledge of his old rival, the possibility of such an accident is very slim.

After winning the League Cup, the top four in the league can basically be locked, and Wenger has set his sights on the cup, the FA Cup is one, and the Champions League is even more so.

It is Arsene Wenger's goal to get back into European competition and get better results.

Of course, he hopes to have a chance to reach the final again, but with the current Arsenal line-up, it is unrealistic, and Wenger's aim is to experience.

He believes that after several seasons of European training, his players, especially Xiang Hao, will be promoted in the same quality. That's what Wenger wants to see the most.

So now in every European game, Wenger sees it as a battlefield, and it is Wenger's most important goal to let the players get experience and growth.

And Wenger's high-intensity training made the Arsenal players complain, but there was one person who was very cool, had nothing to abuse his teammates, and by the way, he could be treated, which was a good deal.

"Whew, Hao, damn it, can't you just let me a little bit."

Getting up from the ground, Scesny was upset.

Yes, no matter which goalkeeper it is, seven of the 10 free-kicks are hit, and the other three are either hit the post or hit the crossbar.

With such a high hit rate, it's no wonder that the Poles were unhappy.

This Pole, whose self-confidence is comparable to Bendtner, is a few months older than Xiang Hao, and he is about to enter the first team, and he is in the most enthusiastic stage.

"Hehe, no way, Wojciech, this is training, I have to be serious, don't I."

Xiang Hao smiled and said a little helplessly. This group of eight lambs dared to bet that their two free kicks were blinded, and if they didn't teach them a hard lesson, would they be able to do it? As for Scesny, he can only be blamed for being on the wrong side.

"Wojciech, where has your confidence gone?"

"It's none of his business, that guy Hao is too perverted."

"yes, that bastard doesn't know how to practice, it's only been a long time to practice his free kick so terrifying."

"Monster, Hao is really a monster."

…

Walket and Wilshere, who were standing on the side, quit, but the bets were all money, and they were ruined by Szczesny.

A group of people were distressed and angry, looking at Xiang Hao's proud appearance, they gritted their teeth. They finally know that in the face of their own perverted teammates, they must not be understood by common sense.

Thinking back to the situation when Xiang Hao's free kicks frequently hit the plane, how long has it been, three months. In the blink of an eye, this guy has moved towards the realm of a free kick master.

This span is really a bit big, so those Arsenal players will try Xiang Hao to see if it is the result of the opening that day.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Hao's free kick skills were really stable, this abuse, Xiang Hao didn't have to bring money to eat for a long time.

"Hey, Hao, what's your skill for free-kicks?"

During the training break, Walcott, who lost the most, came over with an expectant look and asked Xiang Hao with a raised eyebrow.

Obviously, Walcott wanted to learn from Xiang Hao. Although the little tiger has a baby face, he is 'not small'.

He returned to Arsenal from 06 and amazed the British Isles with superb speed, and was regarded by the British media as Arsenal's next Henry.

Walket naturally hopes that he can gallop on the field like his idol and conquer countless opponents.

It's a pity that his too thin body makes him not dominant in the middle at all, and Wenger can only let him open on the wing first in order to protect him.

Walcott still has a long way to go to become Thierry, and he can only hope that his skills can keep up, and the free-kick technique is what Walcourt hopes to learn the most, and it is almost the only one who can keep up.

So, seeing that he was a dead friend, the plane was fighting, and he became a master, could Walcoat not come and ask for advice.

"Hmm."

Xiang Hao nodded, he didn't feel the noble consciousness of being a teacher, let's be practical, "Santon, you have to return what I invited last time." ”

"Damn, I just asked you for a meal last time, and I exchanged it with you for gas, which time you were blocked by reporters, I won't be your driver."

As soon as Walcott heard this, he immediately stopped doing it, and directly played the emotional card, looking at Xiang Hao with a pair of 'sticking a knife in your ribs'.

But obviously talking about feelings with the exploiters, it was in vain, Xiang Hao simply inserted the little tiger twice, "No way, prices are rising." ”

“…”

In the end, the reverence for his ancestors still made Walcott succumb, and the little tiger had another lesson in the time to resume training.

The whole Arsenal training ground, tense but united. What is tense is the atmosphere of the outside world, and what is united is the atmosphere within the team. It's all just a matter of waiting for the final outbreak.

As the time approached, in the 2008-2009 season, the 1/8 finals of the European Champions Cup, Arsenal hosted Roma and kicked off.
