Chapter 190: Argument and Debate
"Coach Redclapp, what do you think of Adams' thoughts on Arsenal and Howe the other day?"
At the pre-match press conference for the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals, the reporter of the Daily Star was the first to stand up, throw out the recent hot topic, and look at Lao Lei expectantly.
The reporters present were also waiting for Lao Lei's Q&A, and they believed that Lao Lei would speak, after all, this was an opportunity to affect the other party's military morale, and it was impossible for Lao Lei not to say a few words.
'I think he cares about Arsenal but it doesn't have anything to do with me, we know Arsenal are very strong.
Even though Arsenal are far away from Liverpool, they are still strong for us and they are on their home turf, which is not good for us.
The game after tomorrow will be a tough game and we have to give it our all. ”
Lao Lei still had that slightly dazed face, and in a word, he sent the Daily Star back, and pulled his topic to the next game, which was very official, and he was reluctant to mention the recent saliva and doubts about Arsenal.
It's a pity that Lao Lei wants to avoid Arsenal's unnecessary saliva, but some people don't want to.
No way, who made him so coincidental, just in time to meet Arsenal in the knockout round, the reporter of the Sun will let him go so easily, "Coach Hage, Adams said that Arsenal may be empty this season, will Tottenham help him achieve part of it first in the game the day after tomorrow?" ”
As soon as this question came out, Lao Lei knew that he couldn't dodge.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that if Arsenal has a chance to achieve a breakthrough of 0 titles this season, it is the League Cup, after all, they have reached the semi-finals, 3-1 in the first leg, and the final is in sight, and Tottenham is likely to be their stepping stone.
Lao Lei felt that he was roasted on the fire, but he couldn't answer it, even if he fell behind 1-3, but surrendered before he fought, how can there be such a reason, not to mention that it is still a mortal enemy.
Lao Lei could only resist and talk about some substance, "I don't feel strange to Tony's guess, although Arsenal is very strong, they are no longer the Arsenal team of a few years ago, they are not invincible, anything can happen on the football field."
At home, in derby, young people make mistakes, and any mistake at home can be seen by their fans and become a burden for them, so I think that's our chance.
We're going to go all out to get a win, push the opponent, take advantage of every mistake and get to the final. ”
"Last time you said that it was Hao who played well and changed the game, so what position would you prefer Hao to play? Should it be fixed or arbitrary? Do you agree with Arsene Wenger's use of Ho? ”
Another reporter asked curiously.
"That's a Wenger thing, I don't comment on it, but in my opinion, Hao is the kind of player who has always been a threat, and we won't let our guard down on him."
Lao Lei said a few words lightly, then turned off the microphone, indicating that the interview was over.
He was really tired of it one by one, and kept asking about Xiang Hao.
Enough, enough, although Lao Lei didn't talk for a long time, it was enough for these media to play.
"Redclapp: Arsenal are too young, they are prone to mistakes" - The Sun
"Redclapp: Arsenal players are mentally unstable and can't handle the pressure" - The Daily Star
The two who didn't deal with Xiang Hao interpreted Lao Lei's words again.
However, I have to say that Mike has been engaged in the media industry for so many years, and he still has a good grasp of proportion, at least in the past few days, although the newspaper reports have appropriate exaggerations, they have successfully provoked a fire, and the effect is very good.
Looking at the damn Oriental and his team, repeatedly appearing in the newspapers, being questioned and tortured again and again, Mike looked very proud.
The industry has not refuted its two reports, nor has it accused itself of inaccurate reporting.
Last time, Mike originally wanted to use Ashley Cole and Cheryl's affairs to make Xiang Hao stink.
Unexpectedly, Ashley Cole suddenly 'splashed dirty water', took the initiative to jump out, and took the matter to himself, and the cheating door suddenly became a hero to save the beauty, making him out of the limelight and becoming the object of many people, especially women, Mike was depressed and disappointed.
At the same time, his peers turned against the water without warning, and the wind changed drastically, which caught him off guard.
The news acumen was slowed down, and he was particularly conspicuous when he hacked him, causing many members of the public to call to complain about him, and some people at the top also began to be dissatisfied with himself, the editor-in-chief, and even the financier behind him blamed himself for his unfavorable behavior.
Mike had to live in peace for a while, and he also figured it out, it is estimated that it will not work to force Xiang Hao, someone has already helped him start to deal with the media, and this kid is not without power at all.
Mike changed his mind and used a soft knife to deal with Xiang Hao, no longer hoping to make Xiang Hao stink in one fell swoop.
Mike wants to keep him in the limelight at all times, always put pressure on him, just like this time, constantly being questioned, and constantly falling into everyone's saliva.
One day, these saliva will form an ocean and drown him.
Although Mike doesn't know the proverb that the forest wind will destroy, but as a media, he understands this truth, the more limelight comes out, the greater the pressure.
Constantly questioned, constantly tortured, I don't believe that this damn Oriental is so strong, so lucky, and can pass again and again.
Mike is completely consumed with Xiang Hao, and he wants to gamble on Xiang Hao's luck for a long time.
No one knows how long Xiang Hao's luck lasted, but Wenger felt that he was unlucky.
He had tried very hard to avoid talking about the change in Xiang Hao's position, but he didn't expect that someone was still eyeing him, his former favorite general, the predecessor of the No. 6 jersey, such an influential Adams.
What made Wenger even more unhappy was that the reason for his position arrangement of Xiang Hao made Adams break down in a word, and it led to doubts about his team.
As Adams said, Wenger is relying more and more on Xiang Hao, and he is increasing the use of Xiang Hao.
There is no way to buy the most satisfactory person for himself, Wenger needs a player who can activate the entire offensive system and deal with different opponents, Xiang Hao's all-round ability just meets this condition.
Because he wants to make Xiang Hao a more versatile player, so that whether it is Song, Diaby, Denilson, Ramsey, these midfielders with different styles can cooperate with him, so that these people can play their role as soon as they are on the field.
In this way, no matter who is missing, as long as he is there, then the whole Arsenal will not become two completely different teams, and the strength of their own team can reach the most balanced state throughout the season.
Even if he is missing a few games, the Arsenal midfield will reach a balance point after a variety of run-ins, and the tacit understanding between the players and the improvement of game experience can also play their best.
Wenger can't say this purpose, he can only implement it step by step.
It's a pity that this kind of implementation was broken by his former disciples, and in recent days, the newspapers have constantly questioned his team's ability.
It's no wonder that Wenger is not depressed, but even if he is depressed, he has to come out, he doesn't want the newspaper to be endlessly entangled, facing all kinds of doubts in the newspaper in the past few days.
"Regarding the question of Hao's position, I have already said after the last game, that game, it was only for tactical reasons, we controlled the game, so that Hao stayed more in the front field and entered the penalty area.
I don't know what's there to tangle and question, do we have the advantage, do we have to let our players take back and let the other side attack? ”
At the pre-match press conference, in the face of entangled reporters, a remark, a rhetorical question, Wenger's deep gaze swept over, and directly strangled these personal speculations.
Although the old man is gentle, he still has a certain status in the rivers and lakes, and he has made it clear what he doesn't want to talk about, and these reporters can't force him.
"So what do you think about the claim that Tony Arsenal can't win the title?"
A reporter reacted first and stood up to ask a question.
"We've got Theo, Aaron Ramsey, we've got Robin, Nasri, Sesk, Rosicky and so on, and you've always cared about Hao, so many talented people come together, I can't see a reason why we can't win the championship.
I, the fans, believe in these young people, and I believe that they will live up to that trust.
Young, they will eventually grow, they have enough perseverance and talent to go through all the tribulations, and they will eventually tell everyone the answer.
God can't bear to see people who work hard fail again and again, unless they leave one by one, otherwise, they I won't question any of them.
If we don't win the championship, then we haven't done enough, and this will not be an obstacle, because we are always moving forward and never stopping. ”
Arsene Wenger looked at the reporters with unprecedented solemnity and unquestionable eyes, and his confident and tenacious gaze overwhelmed everyone.
The thin old man, but with strong enough willpower, made the press conference quiet for the first time.
"But Arsene Wenger, you can't deny the reality of your team's serious blood loss, the reality of Arsenal's weakened strength, do you think Arsenal will win the title this season?"
Suddenly, the reporter of the Daily Mirror opened his mouth and asked rhetorically, although his eyes were no longer strong, but there were still doubts.
Although Wenger suppressed it with his momentum, it was also a moment, and the reporters present were all adults, and they were playing with pens.
It soon became clear that Arsene Wenger was not 'pragmatic', he was talking about the future.
The reality is that Adebayo, Hleb and others are leaving, Fabregas and Rosicky are still recovering from injuries, and Walcott, Song, Diaby and others are still growing.
In the post-Highbury era, Arsene Wenger's strongest gunner has been completely gone.
This Arsenal team is just a team that has started again, and its strength has weakened greatly, and the future is uncertain.
"Whether we can win the championship or not, I want to talk about it after tomorrow's game, we have two games left from the first title, right?"
Wenger didn't pay attention to his uncertain inquiry, said a few words lightly, and looked confidently and calmly at the reporters who were thinking the same thing.
Now the momentum at the press conference is already in his hands, and it's okay.
"What position will Hao play tomorrow?"
"You'll know tomorrow when you watch the game."
