After a relatively easy schedule, the Devil's schedule is just around the corner. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

From mid-December to the arrival of the New Year, in exactly 20 days, Arsenal will play one Champions League, one League Cup, and three league games.

The average rhythm of one game in four days is basically two games a week.

The five matches were of varying difficulty and far in importance. Among them, the Champions League has already locked up the second place in the group, and the home game is against Galatasales, the weakest team in the group, so it is not difficult and of low importance. The League Cup has never been taken seriously by Arsene Wenger, and it is only 16 into 8 stages, so it is also a chicken rib.

The most crucial of the three league games was the home game against Manchester United in the 18th round.

With a six-point gap between the two teams, Arsenal only need to win one of their three games and lose the other two by a modest score, and winning the halfway game is a certainty. This seemingly low level of difficulty, as well as a high 83.3% Premier League eventual title rate, makes the outside world quite optimistic about their title prospects.

But let's be honest, if you lose at home to Manchester United, you can go back and forth by six points, and the morale impact will be quite deadly!

The league is a long 38-game game, and if you want to have the last laugh, consistency comes first. In addition to minimizing the negative impact of injuries, morale is crucial to maintaining stability.

Arsenal have been able to beat Manchester United to the top of the table this season, and the foundation laid by the five-game winning streak will be crucial. Peeling down those five games, judging from the latter games of the two teams, the latter's stability and scoring rate are higher.

Ferguson has long since put aside his initial disdain after two seasons of wrestling with Arsene Wenger, and Manchester United are on a smooth sailing season under his leadership. In the face of the upcoming battle for the top spot, the morale of the whole team is unprecedentedly high.

Their opponents, Arsenal, have been in noticeably poor form of late.

The dressing room brawl was followed by two consecutive defeats in the league and Champions League. Although they won one FA Cup and one league game, those two games were unconvincing battles. If we don't maintain consistency in this intensive schedule, the situation from the last game will definitely be repeated.

You can't count on luck and a last-minute kill, right?

As a manager, winning is just a matter of duty, not worth the whole night. Reduce the negative effects of luck. Maintaining the stability of the team and clarifying the direction of the team is the most urgent task.

The instability in the team had just returned, so the Frenchman kept an eye on it during training, and as a result, he really found something different.

This guy is actually practicing after training every day!

If it's an ordinary newcomer who is training, it's not worth making a fuss, but this guy has been in the team for almost half a year before he started to practice, what's going on, is he really going to change his mind?

Let's practice more, what happened to the high-profile announcement of my return from special training?

What's the deal with dragging the team's number one star?

Don't practice shooting and stop the ball?

"Just ask Dennis. Look what the hell he's up to. ”

Ahead of the 17th round away at Middlesbrough, Arsene Wenger caught Pat Rice and turned to the training ground.

"Dennis is probably just as confused as we are." The old man said as he walked, with a reluctant face, but in fact, his heart had already blossomed.

In the past six months, he has the most experience dealing with Yumo, although he often feels headaches, but a strong intuition tells him. This guy in front of him has a deeply hidden leadership temperament, and he can't use conventional thinking to understand what those wild things are doing.

In the last game, he also saw Youmo's obviously poor physical condition when he warmed up. Therefore, in the last 30 minutes of the game, he kept sweating in his palms. It wasn't until the miraculous assist came and the team finally won that he breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about what attitude to use next against this guy.

He's not a manager, he doesn't have a strong desire to control, but he's also well aware of the dangers of letting young players go unchecked.

Isn't it time to take the initiative to remind you?

With that in mind. He saw the unexpected.

"Arsèna, let me ask you what that guy is doing this for."

The sidelines waited patiently until the end of the two-man practice, when Pat Rice said goodbye to Youmo and then called Bergkamp.

The reason why the parties are not asked is simple.

This guy is still in the stage of making meritorious contributions. As a team manager, you can't show too much concern.

"Practice stopping the ball, you've been watching from the sidelines for so long." Bergkamp is rarely smiling and playful.

The Dutch has always had a good impression of this enthusiastic and straightforward old man, but because he is not good at words, the two do not have much time to deal with.

"Uh, okay. So tell me, why did you not remember these basic contents until now at this stage? Pat Rice glared at the other in a feigned rage, trying to tense his face.

"Probably someone pointed him out." Bergkamp replied with a smile, another face coming to mind.

I don't know it, but I can't forget it.

"Haha, is it his good brother, we?"

Pat Rice laughed a few times before suddenly lowering his voice, snickering with joy.

How happy it would be if this reached Ferguson's ears!

"It seems so." Bergkamp nodded slightly in approval, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, everything he does has a long-term consideration, and it will not be a momentary interest or pressure." ”

"Looking for you to practice stopping the ball is really strong enough, it seems that although his good brother went to Manchester United, his mind still stays on him a lot." Pat Rice smiled and said, "He's so much taller than his brother that he can't be a role model when we practice together." By the way, Dennis, the source of your moves is also said to be street football? ”

"yes, the development of players nowadays has stifled creativity to a large extent. The repeated emphasis on tactical discipline and physical confrontation actually comes from football, and should not be higher than football. Bergkamp smiled, grimacing.

"Yes, the players are more like machines now than they were back then, and the game has a mechanized flavor. I really don't know if it's an improvement or a regression in football. Pat Rice felt that piety, and got serious.

"There is no way, the market is too big, the pressure is too great, and the more the top teams, the less imaginative the space to exist, let alone the cultivation environment." Bergkamp shook his head. There was a look of regret on his face.

Tulip Country, once known for its talents, is now slowly leaning towards mechanized production, and he should not worry about whether the future is sad or happy, but the intuition will inevitably make him feel a little lost.

"It would be perfect if you could combine the youth systems of the Germans with the Dutch, plus a period of street football as a teenager!"

Pat Rice didn't bother in the frustration, the old man was still bent on the Arsenal team, and the England national team was never on the list. But now that I have felt the other party's mood, it is human nature to sigh two sentences.

'The environment in England is not suitable for young players to grow up, both inside and out. So for a long time, I wasn't optimistic about the overall level of football in the country. Bergkamp didn't finish with emotion, and as he spoke, he turned sharply and went straight to the point: "Let's take the incident on the team some time ago. If I had been playing street football in the past, Mo's behavior would have been so common, and if I didn't resist, I would have been laughed at! ”

"Haha, it's a pity you're not the manager. Dennis. Pat Rice laughed dryly, looking a little embarrassed.

Such a clear attitude in support of a guy who has been suspended internally. It's not good to get it out!

"yes, I'm glad I'm not." Bergkamp lost his desire to chat, and simply quickened his pace.

"Well, you win." Pat Rice chased a few steps, gasping slightly.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to tell him what I think. It's a tribute to you. Bergkamp stood still, staring at the red-faced and panting old man.

"Okay, in return, I'll persuade Arsène to see if things turn around in Zlatan."

"I shouldn't need to. From what I've said to him, the team doesn't need an expensive and inexperienced centre-forward substitute anymore. ”

"Huh? What did he say to you? ”

Pat Rice hurriedly finished asking, with a big question mark in his heart.

What is this, backsliding?

"He took a turn and realized that he was nowhere near the best in the centre-forward position."

"Ah, then?"

"Yes, his target is a free man, in the previous stage he was just familiar with the various positions, now it is deepening."

"It's a little exciting, how is his physical condition?"

"No problem."

......

In the 17th round of the Premier League in 98-99, Arsenal's away game against Middlesbrough was not a big event, but Manchester United hosted Chelsea, who are currently fourth.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

In the heavyweight battle that ended first, Manchester United and Chelsea fought fiercely for 90 minutes without being able to break through the opponent's goal, and finally had to regret a draw. In the ensuing tournament of the defending champions, the two teams played passionately, and finally Arsenal won a 5-3 away victory.

Youmo was still a substitute in this game, but the score was already 4:2 at that time, and with more than ten minutes to go, Wenger sent him on the pitch to obviously continue to find the form of the game.

Nicolas Anelka opened the scoring and scored twice, with Overmars netting the third and substitute Wiltord netting the fourth.

In such a passionate collision, the goals are wonderful.

Anelka's way of scoring is still to use excellent foot skills to get rid of the defense in the sports battle, a long-range shot with a tricky angle, a close-range shot, and the opposing goalkeeper can only look at the ball and sigh.

The sudden mute in the last game and the acceptable performance of the substitute sounded the alarm bell for him, so the French put in all their dedication in this game, not to mention the active counter-attack in the frontcourt, and the role of the offensive organization was fully amplified, and finally broke the balance of the game.

Similar to his condition, Petit is aware of his continued poor form since returning from injury. The game itself was not difficult, and the opponent played a very cooperative home attack, so his full commitment produced good chemistry.

You Mo's failure to start this game caused a lot of doubts, but those who are interested can still find the answer.

Three days later, the Champions League home game against Galatasales is needed, and the necessary rotation is of course to keep the squad ready for the challenge of old rivals Manchester United. Anelka is, after all, an important member of the double, and when he is healthy, he is naturally more secure than Jume's incomprehensible style of play.

Arsene Wenger's choice proved to be very wise.

In less than 20 minutes of the game, Yumo continued to play in the previous game, but luck did not take care of him this time, and until the end of the game, he still missed the goal.

This time I didn't even get an assist.

The fifth goal was scored by Ashley Cole, and it was scored by a quick counter-attack with a powerful shot from a small angle, and it was Petit who passed the ball for him.

The Englishman was so excited after the goal that he clenched his fists and roared at the crowd until the Frenchman, who came first, shook his shoulders vigorously before he came back to his senses and celebrated with his team-mates.

Petit didn't forget to look back at Yumo's expression at such a time.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

You Mo stood not far away with his hands on his hips, smiling all over his face.

However, the Frenchman was not discouraged and rushed to the club's official website after the game, hoping to find like-minded guys from there.

Naturally, the results did not disappoint him.

"It's too slow to take the initiative to adapt to the team's style of play now, right? Personally, I think MO is an overrated player, and the Bundesliga Golden Boot is nothing more than that! ”

"With such an exaggerated advantage, he still hasn't been able to score a goal, just five goals in 17 league games, can I say he's the best guy in the club's history?"

"The figures that made the club's transfer fee history crushed him, so much so that he could only use his fists to find confidence in his teammates!"

"Sell him in the winter transfer window, Anelka must stay!"

"Compared to Ljungberg, MO kicks a pound!"

At night, at home.

"I'm, ahhh Wang Dan slapped the keyboard on the mountain, and the whistling sound was endless.

"Xinya is not afraid, I'll lock up that big villain tomorrow!" You Mo hugged his baby daughter and lay in the bed, enjoying the world of two people with peace of mind.

The little girl was not frightened by her mother's voice, and she didn't say anything after listening to his words, but she just opened her eyes and held the bottle with peace of mind.

"You two!" Wang Dan said this sentence a little stuck, and it took a while before he slipped on, "Give me all out!" ”

"What are you doing here?" You Mo poked his head over, and reached out to grab the bottle by the way.

As a result, she didn't get her wish, and You Xinya refused to let go even when her neck was long.

"Damn, one will only eat, and the other will eat, can you two pursue a little?" Wang Dan was angry when he saw these two masters, and his raised hands trembled.

"I don't, what about you?" Yu Mo gave up his efforts and turned to negotiation.

You Xinya decisively refused, her little face turned arrogantly, and her small mouth was busy.

"Alas, what kind of bullshit training are yours, can you be reliable for the old lady?" Wang Dan sighed like a deflated ball, and his eyes were very helpless.

You Mo couldn't listen to this, so he decisively refuted it.

"When have I ever been reliable?" (To be continued.) )
