Chapter 215: After the game

"The game, the game is over?"

"Damn it, damn it."

"It's terrible."

At Goodison Park, in the stands, you can hear the sound of Everton fans escaping.

This escaped everything, not that Xiang Hao didn't score, but that the time was finally over, and they felt that they didn't have to go through the deadly rush before the end of the game.

Everton fans know very well that if the time is stretched for a few more minutes, then this game will not be able to get a point, let alone three points.

His own team is destined to be the background of many videos next week.

In a niche stand, Arsenal fans chanted a man's name.

"Hao!" "Hao!" "Hao!" …

Even if Xiang Hao and his teammates left the court together, the cheers were still high-pitched.

Save.

At the last moment, Xiang Hao snatched a point for Arsenal with a long-range goal that never disappointed, which can be regarded as sending a little comfort to the fans who came from afar to save the weekend.

A game full of regrets, after Xiang Hao scored, in less than a minute, Foy blew the final whistle, 1-1.

It was not a good result for either side.

Everton were disappointed but somewhat satisfied. was shot by Xiang Hao at the last moment, and the three points in his hand became one point, which was naturally a disappointment.

It's just a little bit of satisfaction that the gap between them and Arsenal hasn't widened, and the minimum pre-match goal has been achieved. For Arsenal, it was full of disappointment.

If a draw in this game is Everton's minimum goal, then for Arsenal, it can only be said to be a matter of the bottom line.

And if it weren't for Xiang Hao's outburst at the last moment, this bottom line, they would probably have lost it, how could they be satisfied.

So after saying hello to their fans, the Arsenal players immediately returned to the dressing room, each of them silently showered and changed clothes, and there was no laughter.

The result of the game did not satisfy them, and their bodies became more and more tired, and no one wanted to talk about it.

And the most disappointed Xiang Hao is even more so, although he is undefeated in nine consecutive rounds, but there are more draws and fewer wins, and the points with Manchester United have reached 16 points, and the championship is really just a slogan. Thinking about it, Xiang Hao felt unwilling.

"Rice, you wait and take the team to the car. Hao, you come with me. ”

Wenger obviously didn't want to sum up the lessons of the game here, so after a few orders, he took Xiang Hao out of the locker room and went to the post-match press conference.

"Click, click, click"

"Hao, this time it's Hao."

"Hehe, finally waited for him."

In the process of anxiously waiting, the reporters at the scene finally waited for the person they wanted-Xiang Hao.

So almost the moment he entered the room, Xiang Hao saw a white light in front of him.

You know, this is the first time Xiang Hao has been publicly interviewed after that kiss, and it is normal to have this reaction.

Of course, since it is a post-match news interview, it is naturally important to do business, and this group of reporters is still more reasonable.

"Mr. Moyes, can you please talk about this game?" The Guardian reporter was the first to stand up and ask a question.

'It was a good game, we played well in the first half, Arsenal looked sharper in the second half and overall it was a fair game and the score was fair.

'Do you regret not overtaking Arsenal in the table?' The reporter of the Daily Mirror stood up and asked a question.

Moyes still had a strained face on this thorny question, "There are no regrets, Arsenal are stronger than us, and the players basically achieved one of my goals in this game."

We weren't left behind by Arsenal and that's important, the rest is that we play game by game and we'll have chances. ”

On Everton's side, they were all slightly official answers, and in terms of fame, they really couldn't attract much attention from the reporters present, so soon, the current reporters pointed the finger at Arsenal.

Of course, the first step is Wenger here. As the manager of Arsenal, he also has a lot of 'grooves'.

"Coach Arsene Wenger, talk about this game, how did you perform?" A polite opening.

To this, Wenger also replied politely: "I think it was a game of a certain level, both teams definitely gave it their all.

We played against a good team and we needed to show a lot of perseverance to equalise. I knew we couldn't give up and keep fighting until the last minute, but you can't predict that we're going to score in stoppage time.

I know we put in all the effort and there is a lot of perseverance in the team and we proved that again tonight. ”

"What do you think about the goal you conceded? Cahill wasn't too big in size, at least Djuru and Gara were taller than he looked. "That's when the stabs started.

Arsene Wenger's face didn't change in the slightest, "Gary Cahill is a great player, very technical and smart.

If you look at it, the defenders in the league are a head taller than him, but he's always able to get headers and he has something that you can't instill in a player – he knows where to be on the pitch. ”

Answer by avoiding the truth.

"Arsene Wenger, you've had a lot of problems at the back this season, how do you avoid further defeats?" It's starting to get contradictory.

Arsene Wenger is not salty or light, "It's important not to lose, it's key to continue to be unbeaten and we've done that in the last nine league games.

In this kind of game summary, I think we fell behind 0:1 when we didn't expect it, but we didn't give the opponent a lot of chances.

At 0-1 we had to take more risks and press more, but I'm happy with the way we defended 99 per cent of the time. ”

'In this game, you only got one point, you have been stretched to 16 points in the standings by Manchester United, there is also an eight-point gap from Chelsea, you have been opened up by the teams in front of you, do you have anything to say?'

Now reporters are starting to denounce it.

Arsene Wenger could only shrug his shoulders and say, "Yes, one point is not enough because we always want to get three points, but tonight was tough.

I want to emphasise what I said before the game, for us Everton is as much of a threat as Liverpool and Tottenham. Everton are a good team. ”

Wenger didn't talk to them about the standings at all, just talked about this game, and didn't answer the stubble of the reporters on the scene at all, and these people were angry.

"Coach Arsene Wenger, you are showing a very weak form in attack in this game, and the winter transfer period is coming to an end, how is Arshavin doing?"

A reporter from the BBC came out to pick up the stubble and asked one of the most concerning questions about the Arsenal club now - in terms of recruitment, to be precise, whether Arshavin will come.

"There was nothing new because today my attention was on the game, I didn't answer the phone, so nothing happened to me.

There is a 90% chance that I will be able to give you more news today and tomorrow. Keep in mind, though, that in this industry, 10% chance is more important than the other 90% because people's ideas become fast. ”

It was the first time that Wenger talked about Arshavin with such a determined attitude in front of reporters, even if he was vaccinated later, but it still made the reporters present excited.

"Coach Arsene Wenger, what do you think of the contrast between the first and second halves, Hao's state? Why is there such a big change, and does it have anything to do with your substitution? ”

At this time, the problem finally fell on Xiang Hao.

"Well, I want to say that Hao's form has always been a good performance, there is no contrast, in fact, he has always been that outstanding.

In the second half, I asked him to go back a little bit to control the game, which was more conducive to his long passing, and that's it. ”

Speaking of Xiang Hao, this is one of the few places where Wenger can make him laugh out loud in this game, Wenger naturally will not be stingy with his praise, and also said a little about his tactical arrangement in the second half.

"Hao, may I ask you can always break out in the last time period, may I ask why this is, is it a tactical reason?"

After asking Wenger, the reporters at the scene naturally did not let Xiang Hao go. As is customary, the Guardian still comes to the topic of the game itself first.

Xiang Hao also answered this question very simply, "I think it has something to do with my physical reserves, I was suspended in the last round, so I think this is the reason why I can exert my strength at the last moment." ”

And this question instantly made some reporters catch the loophole, and the Times reporter's eyes lit up and asked a more pointed question, "Excuse me, why did you exert your strength at the last moment?" There are very few breakthroughs like that in this game, why? ”

Indeed, this question is asked, and there is a certain level.

Now that I think about it, if Xiang Hao had so many breakthroughs in the whole game, maybe Arsenal would have been able to win the game without losing two points.

Hao didn't mean to be a lone hero. Some bad reporters can't help but YY.

is also worried about Xiang Hao's last-minute efforts, as well as Moyes, from the end of the game, he was in a bad mood.

In addition to blaming his disciples for being too careless and too trusting, Moyes was also full of resentment towards Xiang Hao, the last 'yin' person.

If the opponent had shown his ability in the last moments earlier, his own team members would not have let up. It's tantamount to a sneak attack. Can Moyes not resent.

For these, Xiang Hao could only shrug his shoulders and said: "It's still my physical advantage, and after watching the first half of the game, you will also know." ”

Moyes almost turned green when he said this, and all the reporters couldn't help but look at him when they heard this.

The people present were all human spirits, as if they couldn't hear it, Xiang Hao was complaining, complaining about Everton's foul on him in the first half, as well as the referee's problems.

In fact, this problem is not only due to physical fitness, but also not only because of the fear of Everton's foul on him, but also because of his position. However, Xiang Hao didn't want to get into the topic of location positioning, so he found a reason to diverge.
