Chapter 104: The Theory of Injury
Robinho's post-match press conference drama lasted for several days, and he became another notorious player in Manchester City after Bam Adebayo.
But these have nothing to do with Xiang Hao, Xiang Hao just can't figure out where this kid's hostility towards him comes from, is it because he has stolen too much limelight, is it possible.
After figuring out these details, Xiang Hao put all his mind on recovery and training.
Although the game against Manchester City was won, Xiang Hao's physical consumption was also a lot, especially the high intensity in the first game of his comeback, so he was naturally a little uncomfortable.
What's more, after being kicked a few times by the villain of Adebayo, Xiang Hao was not injured, but he also had a hard pain.
Wenger obviously knew this, so in the next few days, he didn't give Xiang Hao a lot of physical strength, just let him jog and train with the ball, so that he could adapt step by step.
And taking advantage of this time, Xiang Hao is also training his other skill - free kick.
"Hey, Hao, you're jerking off again! Hehe. ”
"Hao, how about I bet with you, bet you won't get in!"
"I'm coming, I'm coming."
…
Seeing Xiang Hao put another free kick and put the anti-aircraft gun, Walcott and the others immediately started to coax.
They thought that Xiang Hao's long-range shot was so awesome, and the free kick should not be difficult, but who knew that Xiang Hao's free kick was going to the sky.
made Walcott and others feel like they were beaten with chicken blood, begging Xiang Hao to bet.
"Yes, but let's bet on a long shot."
Xiang Hao was not shocked, looked at this group of bastards, and added a condition.
“****!”
As soon as Bella and the others heard this, they immediately gave Xiang Hao a middle finger and stepped aside.
I bet on this with Xiang Hao, Xiang Hao's goal against Manchester City, but it has been continuously broadcast on major video websites in the past few days, and they are tired of watching it for a long time, how can they come to abuse it again.
And after suppressing this group of coaxing friends, Xiang Hao did not want to chase after the poor man, let go of this group of bastards, and went to the sky by himself.
This is not only because of the imperfection of Xiang Hao's technology, but also because Xiang Hao's own requirements are too high.
He's all about kicking free-kicks as penalties and chasing a high percentage of shots.
You have to shoot the ball yourself, in terms of power and arc, to achieve the perfect combination, and at the same time the landing point must be accurate.
This difficulty is too great, and the road Xiang Hao has to take is not overnight, and some have learned.
The free kick is not a goal, Xiang Hao's several goals are all vigorously bombarded, basically straight out.
The human wall of the free kick is not only an obstacle, but also can be moved at any time, and the requirements for the arc are very high.
High requirements naturally have to endure many hardships, this Xiang Hao knows very well, just keep his mentality, and the video of his own free throws, the club has someone to help him sort it out, so that he can reflect on it, Xiang Hao doesn't believe that he can't master such a foot skill.
"Hehe, this kid is really full of energy."
Watching Xiang Hao's perseverance repeating again and again, Les couldn't help laughing, he liked Xiang Hao's talent, and he liked his hard work even more.
At this point, there are few players in the team who can compare to him, and the sponge-like learning ability is the most terrifying.
"Well, collect some more videos for him, it's a pity that Thierry and Robert are no longer there, otherwise they would be a good teacher."
Wenger also had a relieved expression on his face, and he instructed Rice, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Wenger's two sentences are not only a matter of training, but also a lament about the current situation of the team, without veterans pressing the field, sometimes the team is really difficult to control.
In the past month, the team's results have come down, and the atmosphere in the team has also been abnormal, and there have been several distrusts between the players and the players.
Van Persie and Theo Walcott questioned each other's passes and catches, and Eboue spoke several times, accusing his team-mates of being too confused on the pitch.
These are all potential problems.
No matter how amiable Wenger is, it is impossible for him to become a player, and sometimes the private communication between players and players can be more effective.
Originally, Wenger hoped that Galla and Toure could play this role, but unfortunately, the two of them also had their own problems, and Toure's personality was too dull and not the kind of character who could talk about it.
And Garra's mouth is too big and too complaining, if it weren't for Wenger seeing the signs and pressing him down in private, I'm afraid another Adebayo would have come out.
Although it has rained and the sky is sunny now, it is clear that this calm is covered by victory, and this is the reason why there is no real big man in the locker room, and no one is convinced.
As soon as he thought of this, Wenger regretted letting Henry go even more, and his team was not formed in the end.
In the past, the reason why Wenger let go of Henry was that on the one hand, Henry made it clear that he wanted to go, and on the other hand, Wenger thought that his team had already taken shape.
Whether it's Robin van Persie, Bam Adebayor or Eduardo, there is hope that he will take his gun and lead the team forward.
Arsene Wenger chose to let go, and in fact, as Wenger thought, Arsenal were in a state of strength in the 2007-2008 season.
In the league, there is a tendency to replicate the unbeaten record, see who kills whom, entering February, 26 rounds of the league, only one loss, four draws, 12 points off Manchester United, more sexy football to please the fans.
Who would have thought that an accident would turn everything into a virtual shadow for Wenger's team, and this season, the team that was built up with great difficulty also fell apart in one summer.
Wenger realized that the team is far from mature, the technology and system are mature, but the mentality is thousands of miles behind, and the scene of Galla sitting on the ground in pain, Wenger is really hard to forget.
This is also the reason why Wenger chose to take Galla and directly promoted Cesc Fabregas as captain, and the direct French fellow really can't afford to shoulder the big responsibility.
After a low ebb of more than a month, it was only at this time that Wenger realized that he had put Henry two years earlier.
Henry's reputation in the team is far from being comparable to Silva's and Galla's and Toure's, although his personality is not as strong as Vieira's, but he is more amiable, and with his achievements, he can unite people more.
However, at the same time of disappointment, Wenger was somewhat comforted, and looked at Xiang Hao with deep eyes, becoming more and more acute, "Fortunately, that kid came back and did not disappoint himself." ’
After a game, it not only bridged the rift within the team, but also lightened the pressure on the whole team, including Wenger.
"Arthur, how is the Champions League roster, I still don't think that Hao should be too tired at this time."
The 5th round of the Champions League group stage is about to be played, and the home team against Ukraine, Dynamo Kyiv, and Rice's use of Xiang Hao are still conservative.
"Well, I don't plan to let Hao start in this game, let's let him rest, and if possible, Hao won't play."
This time, Arsene Wenger chose to respect Rice's advice and set the tone for Arsenal's squad in the Champions League.
As the midweek matchday approaches, the whole Arsenal team has also entered the intense preparation from the relaxed state after the victory against Manchester City, and the sense of compactness that a big game is about to permeate the Kearney training base.
Thursday's game against Dynamo Kyiv is about qualifying for Group G.
In the first four rounds, Arsenal accumulated 8 points and temporarily topped the group, 2 points ahead of second-place Porto, while Dynamo Kyiv was third with 3 points, still maintaining the hope of qualifying.
As long as Arsenal win this game, they will qualify early, and it is definitely a deal for Arsenal, who are weak on the bench but full of injuries.
It's at home again, and winning this game has become a goal that Arsenal must strive for.
The Champions League game naturally attracted the attention of many British coals, who came to A.T. Kearney's press conference for an interview.
Obviously, Arsene Wenger is quite hospitable, and as soon as he came up, he announced a big news: Hao will not enter the starting line-up.
"Coach Arsene Wenger, is it because of a recurrence of his injury?"
When Xiang Hao was withdrawn from the starting list, the reporters present were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
The reporter of the Sun newspaper threw out a question with a twinkle in his eyes, which immediately resonated with the reporters present.
"Arthur, is that the reason?"
"Was it Bam Adebayo's two fouls?"
"Did you overdo it in the last game?"
…
Buzzing, this question from The Sun was a fuse that immediately detonated the entire press conference.
Watching the peers present follow their own topics, and keep asking, Mike seemed quite proud, as for what Wenger said, he would listen again, but the tone was different.
"Overwhelmed, Hao missed the Champions League group stage start" - The Sun
"According to the recent news of this newspaper, Hao Hao, who has just returned in the last game, has not been able to start the Champions League by himself.
Although Arsene Wenger has repeatedly stressed that Hao's body is fine, it is just a normal personnel rotation, but this reason is completely unconvincing.
Before Hao was injured, Hao started every game and was the player who played the most minutes in the team, even Cesc Fabregas, the captain of the team, was not as important as him.
Arsene Wenger couldn't have rotated such an important player for no reason, and the only explanation was that Hao's body had a relapse.
Every rotation of Arsenal is because the players are unwell, whether it is Van Persie before or Nasri, who was tackled in the last game, the reason for their non-play is injury.
Hao is no exception, knowing that this game is about their qualifying situation, in the last round of home games, they suffered a 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa.
There is no doubt that for such an important game, if Hao had not been injured, Wenger would not have put such an important player on the bench.
The current question is, how heavy is Hao's injury? Even the comeback of the last game, is it a risky move, in order to save the team?
In this way, Arsenal's injury curse is likely to fall on the 18-year-old, and too many tasks could leave his immature body overdrawn early, and may even jeopardize his career. ”
