The two men in the dugout eventually exchanged until the half-time whistle sounded.

There are no Germans in this team, and the German language is as obscure as a book for everyone. However, although I can't understand it, it doesn't prevent everyone from seeing it in their eyes and remembering it in their hearts.

What is the situation?

The competition is in full swing, and the two of them are not engaged at all, but they are communicating vigorously?

The team is constantly being beaten passively, what does it mean for them to be indifferent?

The age gap between the old and the young is so big, what is there to talk about?

With these doubts, as well as the unchanged score of 0:1, and the boos of the whole stadium, the Arsenal team ushered in the halftime break.

The players on the pitch naturally had no intention of observing this, and for them, it was good to try to keep up with the rhythm of the opponent, and it became a luxury to stop and think, and where to find out what was going on in the dugout. When the half-time whistle blew, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the dressing room without looking back.

The pressure on Chelsea was so great that they were a little tired both physically and mentally, as if they were still a little unbelievable, and everyone was in a bit of a daze as they sat down in the dressing room.

The opponent is beating the chicken?!

Arsene Wenger's arrival interrupted the players' aimless speculation, and the Frenchman's face was serious, and as soon as he spoke, his voice was clearly louder than before, which surprised everyone.

The boss is also fighting?

"I'm just as surprised as you are. This Chelsea team was a humble neighbour who didn't pose much of a threat to us. Now it seems that they, like us, have made a huge transition from a mid-table team to a top team in just two or three years. ”

"With the increasing influence of the Premier League, the Boseman Act has been implemented smoothly. The influx of foreign players and foreign capital, as well as the huge commercial interests, have made each team more competitive. Chelsea just seized the moment and went one step ahead of the rest of the team. ”

"If we look at other opponents with the same eyes as before, what happens in this game in front of us will play out again and again until we gradually descend into mediocrity and can no longer face challenges as strong men!"

"The goal we chose. It's far from what can be accomplished by the success of one or two seasons. Everyone also knows that the so-called wealthy family is not something that can be brought by a temporary and unlimited scenery. It must go through long-term and stable development, the precipitation of distinctive styles and concepts, and the glory of the showroom before the word "giant" can be added to the name of the team. ”

"It's a very, very long road, and maybe it's not enough for our generation. In this case, there may be some of you who can't keep up, and some of you may find those things too difficult. Unable to bring enough motivation. ”

"It's not surprising to have that thought. Everyone has a limited career, and everyone has the power to choose the path they want to take. Now that player transfers are becoming more frequent, the days of playing for one team for the rest of your life are almost gone. ”

"Do your best to build a giant team, or use it as a springboard to become an important capital to enter the giants, these two options are in front of you."

"Don't rush to make a choice, and I'm not going to ask you to answer that question. Calm down and think about it. It may be more helpful for your long-term development. ”

"Alright, I've said what I'm trying to say. In the second half of the game, I hope everyone will put down the shelves they have put up. Learn from your opponents and look for the momentum we've forgotten! ”

With that, Wenger turned and walked away, leaving a room full of people staring at each other.

As a professional footballer, no one dares to joke about the official game, as long as they are on the court. Giving full play is the minimum professional quality. However, everyone is also aware of the difference between the words "try your best" and "work hard".

Working for the boss, no matter how generous the rewards are, there is still a lack of a sense of belonging in my heart. In time. Many people's attention begins to decline, and even if they try their best, they are still unable to activate their potential and find the key to self-breakthrough.

The Arsenal team in front of us, the dressing room, the big names in the team's best team last season, have actually reached a watershed moment in their careers.

If you keep moving forward, you may be able to catch up with others, but you will definitely be left behind, let alone be content with pleasure.

There is always a lack of motivation when the title is in hand, and Arsenal are neither the first team to face such a situation, nor is there anything out of the ordinary.

What's the motivation?

Money, honor, and self-transcendence, these three motivations are like fuel, and the effects are different.

Money has a universal effect, bringing the most direct and fastest stimulation, but it is heavily polluted, has many side effects, is easy to produce resistance, and has poor long-term effects. There are not many choices made with money as a motivation to start and finish well.

Honor also has a universal effect, the stimulation is not direct enough, not fast enough, but the pollution is small, the side effects are few, the resistance is low, and it has a certain long-term effect. Choices made with honor as a motivation deserve respect for success or failure.

Transcendence of the self is something that only a very small number of people are applicable, this kind of power is not conspicuous, the effect is very slow, but there is no pollution, no side effects, no resistance, and it has an exaggerated long-term effect. The guys who use this as motivation to improve themselves have all done the best in their fields. Even with limited talent, the achievements are far beyond imagination.

The idea of "using this as a springboard to become the capital to enter the giants" is also a driving force, which is understandable for mercenaries, but at this time, it is broken by the head coach in person, and any guy with this idea does not look good.

Everyone in the world wants face, let alone the beautiful football stars. Even if they look down on Arsene Wenger and Arsenal in their hearts, they won't show it in front of guys who don't belong to the same camp. Now this kind of private complaint is brought to the table by the head coach, and everyone's eyes are a little flickering.

Where do Anelka, and those who think the same way, go from here?

"Come on, guys!"

Eventually Petit roared, ending the awkward atmosphere in the locker room.

Anelka stood up with a blank face and was the first to walk out. After the French and Dutch had gone, the English looked at each other with a solemn expression.

Arsene Wenger's approach is bound to cause dressing room turmoil. Ostensibly, he is on the side of the English, for the long-term development of the team. In fact, the French are not tough enough in terms of character, and once the contradictions intensify, it is difficult to say the final result.

The conservative English did not really like the radical moves of the French, but what was happening in front of them. Facing it positively is the right way.

The second half of the game started quickly.

It stands to reason that after Chelsea had stormed the half-game, it was time to pause and take the initiative to play defensive counter-attacks. But this team didn't seem to know how old their average age was, didn't know how physically demanding the high-intensity pace of the game was, and didn't think how strong the opponent in front of them was, and continued to fight in the first half.

Arsenal are a bit overwhelmed.

They still subconsciously look down on their opponents, believing that Chelsea are only on the rise and not capable of competing with them. The first half was an overperformance. There was definitely a bit of a drop in the second half, as long as they played at a normal pace, controlled the situation and had no big problem taking the opponent.

With this mentality, coupled with the divergence of attention brought about by Arsene Wenger's initiative to escalate the conflict at half-time, all the players on the pitch were a little lacking.

Thus, the punishment came in the 63rd minute of the game.

Vialli broke through the middle and was brought down by Vieira, 30 meters straight free kick in the dialogue. Bantam Zola beat Manninger with a beautiful curling shot. The Italians continued to put a mark of shame on the Austrians' Gunners career while seething the pitch.

David Seaman has returned from injury for this game and is on the bench. Arsene Wenger did not start the veteran for safety reasons. As a result, Manninger, who had high hopes before the game, was disappointed again, and his performance under high pressure can only be described as a mess, except for the direct free kick misjudgment, the lack of aura caused by the flustery of handling the ball repeatedly appeared, if it were not for the assistance of several experienced veterans, there must have been more than two goals conceded.

Such a game is going on until this stage. The performance of the two sides is almost unrecognizable which team is the defending champion and which team is the newly formed junior group!

The 0:2 result hung brightly in mid-air, and Arsene Wenger's expression remained calm amid the high-pitched singing of Stamford Bridge.

The French have lived most of his life, and he is not good at inciting emotions with passionate speeches. I know very well how much shock my words have caused in the dressing room.

In his heart, You Mo's words still echoed.

"We were last season!"

The Frenchman is well-versed in sports psychology and understands the psychological changes of the players after they have achieved success. But what he didn't expect was that the high-speed progress of his opponents brought such huge pressure, and the time left for him to adjust was so short!

It's like this game.

He and his disciples were not ready, and the crossroads were already in sight. Will this Arsenal team continue to adhere to idealism and eliminate those distractions, or will it take the initiative to change and meet the interests of all?

Arsene Wenger opted for the former, a road destined to be bumpy and bumpy.

The match ended at 0:2.

Youmo, Wiltord, Ljungberg, the three have been given the opportunity to play. As a result, Chelsea sat on a two-goal lead and played a counter-attack with great ease.

Didier Deschamps, Leboeuf, Desailly, these regulars of the French national team have no worse experience in high-level matches than their opponents. Vialli, Zola, these Italians who are good at defending and counter-attacking have not forgotten their roots. Under their prepared layers of defense, the Arsenal team, who pressed heavily at the last moment, obviously lacked enough patience and penetration.

In fact, Chelsea's ground attacks were not enough to tear apart the defending champions' defence throughout the game, with two set-piece wins more of a common pattern of underdog upsets. What really deserves to be mentioned by the media is the Arsenal team's apparently out-of-form attacking combination and the cheating goalkeeper.

Anelka, Overmars, Bergkamp, Petit, Vieira, Parlour, Manninger, all seven of them were hovering above and below the passing line after the game.

"After five wins in a row, the defending champions came to a halt and their sluggish performances left them with a bitter pill to swallow in the London derby. Their opponents showed an amazing fighting spirit, which was perhaps the biggest reason for the upset. ”

'Arsenal have come up with a roadblock and Chelsea put in the spotlight with a perfect performance for the fans. With only one point separating the two sides after six rounds, the battle for the league title this season is destined to be fierce beyond imagination! ”

Mo, who came off the bench, couldn't sustain his magical performance, and for 25 minutes of inaction, he appeared more on the pitch as a backdrop. It is clear that he has a run-in problem with the team, and whether it can be solved quickly has become Wenger's heart problem. ”

"David Seaman is old, Manninger is too young, and the arsenal is in a goalkeeper crisis!"

Including various cup competitions, a team that has won eight consecutive games will not lose a single game and be criticized by everyone. The comments on the second day after the game were also more objective and did not have excessive emotional tendencies. Apart from the unbridled sarcasm of Chelsea's die-hard fans, the vast majority felt that Arsenal were only in a temporary slump and would not have much of an impact.

This is not the case.

The French gang originally regarded themselves as the head coach's descendants, but it was just a matter of losing this game, and they actually lost face!

The fact that Anelka wants to go to Real Madrid is well known, and the guys in the dressing room who have the right to speak have their own positions and comments on it. Overall, the English looked down on this behaviour and saw his actions as a betrayal of the manager who promoted him and a disloyalty to the team. The French, of course, chose to support their compatriots, and it makes sense to cite the club's slamming of the goal. The Dutch, on the other hand, were noncommittal and completely neutral.

Naturally, this matter will not have much impact on the table, and once it is put on the table, the contradictions between the English gang and the French gang will immediately intensify. The previous quarrel between Grimandi and David Pratt has not been completely forgotten, and this situation has suddenly become one of the reasons to blame the other party.

"The hell the Englishmen are delusional all day long, they want to build a new stadium just after winning the league title, why should we take half the salary of Manchester United players?"

"Hypocritical Englishmen only need to save face, and they don't admit that they have borrowed a lot from the bank, not to say that their club is in good financial condition. Good P, Lao Tzu's weekly salary is only 2W pounds, is it embarrassing to say it? ”

The above French views are supported by facts, and it is really difficult to say whether it is embarrassing to say or not.

"Without Arsenal, without Arsene Wenger, you French are nothing!"

The English are not good at arguments, and their views are divided by the wise.

The two opposing views have far greater impact than a loss.

However, the perpetrators can't control so much.

The day after the match, at 9 p.m. on Sunday, Yumo arrived at the pre-agreed location. (To be continued......)
