Chapter 88: Losing to Arsenal

"Di-Di-Di-Di!!"

"Oh my God, what's wrong with Arsenal? With a score of 0-2 and 0-2, I thought that the last League Cup game was 3-0, which would make them recover, but who knows, this one lost again! Unlike those three games, this game is at home. ”

"It's terrible, Arsenal haven't won in the Premier League since Howe got injured, what's going on? Is Hao really that important? ”

"Two draws and four defeats, although the two draws were won by Tottenham and Manchester United, but you must know that both games were at home, and they were only caught up at the last moment. In other games, against Everton, West Ham United, Stoke City, and Aston Villa, Arsenal all lost, and the form was too poor. ”

'Arsenal only won at home to Fenerbahce and Wigan Athletic in October and November, a far cry from their previous form, with only five wins after 13 rounds, the lowest win percentage in Arsene Wenger's tenure at Arsenal.

"It's been thirteen rounds, Arsenal have lost five games, drawn three, in last season, they only lost three games in a season, and when Manchester United won the title, it was only six draws, Arsenal is now in eighth place, as many as 13 points behind Liverpool at the top of the table."

There is no need for the major media to pick up after the game, when the game is over, the commentators who broadcast the game have already begun to 'attack' Arsenal, and Arsenal's results during this period can be 'comparable' to the level of the relegation team.

In the nine games that Xiang Hao was absent, Arsenal won two, drew three and lost four, including one in the Premier League without a win, falling through everyone's glasses.

At this time, the camera at the scene stayed on one person, Xiang Hao's body.

On the field, Xiang Hao, who was depressed, could only get off the field, pat this one's shoulder, touch that one's head, and comfort his teammates in this way.

Although the Emirati Stadium was not booed at this time, the blank eyes of the fans had continued to appear.

They couldn't understand why their team suddenly lost power during this time, and at this moment, they really realized that the Oriental man really played a big role in their team.

In just over a month of games, no one will doubt Xiang Hao's role in Arsenal at this moment.

"Hey, I think everyone should know the significance of Hao to this Arsenal team now, without Hao, the pivot of attack and defense, Arsenal's midfield is not only easy to pass, but also more embarrassed to be forced by the opponent on their point of attack, Arsenal's entire offensive system is no longer as smooth as before.

Neither Denilson nor Song could provide a stable exit point at the back, and Sesk had to pull further back to pinch Arsenal's entire attacking line, which reduced Arsenal's lethality in attack to a certain extent.

Coupled with the departure of Hleb, Adebayo and others, Arsenal's offensive foundation is actually not stable, and the defense cannot reassure the players in the front court.

Wenger has to teach his disciples a good lesson in the dressing room, they have too many things to summarize, this is also the price of growth, their strength really can't win the championship, at this stage, Wenger's team grows as soon as possible is the most important thing. ”

The game was over, and as a summary, Mortensen, who commented on the game, sighed and shook his head for the last time in this game, pointing out one of the reasons for Arsenal's sluggish performance and giving Wenger a pertinent suggestion.

In the final analysis, Arsenal's foundation is too poor, so many people have gone in the summer, and it is definitely a blood loss to the point of breaking the muscles and bones, but it is just a supplement to a mature Nasri with six or seven percent, and the strength has already declined more than just a grade.

The current Bendtner, Bella, Denilson, Walket and others can't be compared with Flamini, Hleb, Eduardo, Rosicky, Adebayo and others, let alone surpass them, and ability and experience are not talent can make up for them.

If it weren't for Xiang Hao's sudden rise this season, his active performance at both offensive and defensive ends supported the entire Arsenal's attack and defense, and liberated Cesc Fabregas to a great extent, the actual situation of Arsenal's declining strength was exposed.

Arsene Wenger has long been aware that this youth team is no longer the team that could challenge for the Premier League title last season, at least not this season, and his team has once again entered the 'reincarnation'.

Therefore, Wenger, who has no way out, did not hesitate to split the Arsenal core into two after discovering the amazing talent hidden in Xiang Hao, forming a double core on the field and leading this immature Gunners forward.

Arsene Wenger's bet proved to be the right one, with Arsenal's performances in the first three months and the development of their young squad certainly looking bright.

It's a pity that there is only one Xiang Hao, which is rarer than Fabregas, when he was injured in this link, Arsenal's entire system fell into a state of paralysis, and the immaturity of Arsenal players was exposed in front of all opponents.

Cup, the opponent is not familiar with it, and it can be dealt with, but the league, such a marathon system, the opponent has already figured out Arsenal's routine, and the battle is unfavorable and unfavorable.

With only two months of competition, Xiang Hao has already made his indispensable mark on this younger Gunners.

He's like a tiger skin, and with him, Arsenal can intimidate opponents, just a clenched fist at any time, ready to hit opponents hard.

And without him, Arsenal's 'weakness' was instantly exposed in front of the opponent, and anyone could come up and take a bite.

They can draw with Tottenham and Manchester United, and that's because of the special nature of these two opponents, it is a game similar to a duel of life and death, a game that is enough to show their talent, arouse the potential of this group of teammates, and make them burst into the standard.

And such 'weak' opponents like Stoke City and Aston Villa, they have not thought about exploding, and they have no motivation to explode. If you want to get three points, you need to kill them in a real way, and stability and efficiency are the first priority.

These are exactly what this young over-the-top Arsenal team lack, and they can't make up for it, unless time can be quicker, and they can't be crippled for a long time, obviously this can't be.

And now at this moment, all they can do is wait, waiting for Xiang Hao's return.

"Hey, I'm wondering when Hao will return, there is news that Hao has been able to train with the whole team normally, but Wenger has not announced the exact news, it's really urgent."

"Now this Arsenal really needs Hao's comeback, the winter transfer window, there is still more than a month to open, and now, no player can bring such an efficient change to Arsenal like Hao, Hao's return is the most important thing."

"After watching the poor performances of Song and Denilson, I miss Hao's presence very much, fortunately, Hao's body is not out for three or four months as said before, if this is the case, Arsenal's top four this season will probably be extravagant."

is full of voices calling for Xiang Hao's return, and it has not stopped because of the end of the broadcast, on the contrary, it has echoed throughout London, the entire British Isles, and even the world.

With the broadcast of the Premier League, Xiang Hao's name has unconsciously spread to all over the world, at least among gun fans, he is already a big name, forming a powerful 'Hao Mi'.

And he has been absent for more than a month, and Arsenal's performance in the sky and on the ground before and after has invisibly aggravated the fans' impression of him, and more and more people have begun to face up to the existence of Arsenal's 'waist man'.

And back to the Emirates Stadium, back to the Arsenal dressing room.

At this time, all the players of Arsenal were depressed with their heads bowed, and each of them did not look up, and they faced the boss who trusted them - Arsene Wenger.

As Mortenson said, Wenger was teaching his disciples at this time.

"Okay, let's go back and rest, I know you're tired from going through a game like this, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you don't need to read the newspaper, you don't need to come to training, watch the game video, the game video during this time.

I want each of you to give me a report asking for training on your shortcomings, you can discuss them with each other in private, and if I see your progress in the next training and competitions, the others are gone, and they will all be disbanded. ”

However, instead of losing his temper and reprimanding him in the 'class', as people imagined, Wenger directly assigned 'homework' and dismissed his team members.

It's not that Wenger doesn't have fire, it's not that Wenger doesn't have 'aggressiveness', it's precisely because he knows his own team too well that Wenger chooses to tolerate them, which is also a helpless compromise on his choice.

"Well, boss, I won't let you down, trust me."

can be so direct and confident, and it can only be Xiang Hao's second brother Bendtner.

However, although Bendtner was a little more forced this time, he also said the thoughts of all the Arsenal players, and each nodded solemnly at Wenger, secretly making a guarantee.

They are not two-skinned faces, and they know how stinky they have been playing during this time. It's not a child, Wenger's affection for his calves, they naturally understand, they all hold back their strength, go back to reflect on themselves, don't let their boss down.

During this time, these people in Arsenal have lost even their underwear, and they are all so-called 'giant' players, once only the responsibility for the defeat is investigated, then this group of arrogant players will not be pleasing to anyone, and everyone will be the one who should complain.

It is precisely Wenger's silent arrangement that prevents this group of hormonal players from turning the depression in their hearts into anger, affecting the atmosphere in the team, and avoiding the possible intensification of conflicts between Arsenal players.
