With the rapid development of the Internet, domestic news has become much more convenient, and even if a family in the UK does not want to delve into anything, it is inevitable that they will be hurt by all kinds of slander. In addition, greetings from relatives and friends are unavoidable, and gossip is also common for people to gossip after greetings. Even if you feel angry, aggrieved, and have no face, you have to fight hard to deal with it.

Before the start of the fourth round of the Premier League, the atmosphere at home was depressing.

Matchday was a great opportunity for them to relax, and the Arsenal staff took the family very seriously, and the £380 home package was a free 10 package.

As for the VIP boxes, it is obviously a bit reluctant in terms of the current situation of You Mo. But fortunately, this family is not a high-minded master, and when they first arrive, they feel good to have such treatment.

Sunday, half past two in the afternoon.

The family did not have to hide their whereabouts at the moment, and after driving to the stadium, the woman opened the way, followed by the elderly and children, and a group of seven people walked slowly forward amid laughter. Occasionally, the flash flashed by, but they didn't feel anything unusual, and still maintained a relaxed facial expression.

It has only been more than a month since I came to the UK, and the family is not very accustomed to the gentlemanly demeanor here, and when going out to some formal occasions, I often feel a little restrained. The scene of talking and laughing in front of them makes them feel like they are on vacation.

The old man, the child, the woman, it sounds a bit procrastinating, in fact, the old man is not too old, the child does not have to walk on his own, and the legs and feet of the two young women are also numb. A group of people gradually accelerated their pace with the rapidly increasing flow of people*, and after a while, the eyes were open.

Highbury Field, which survived World War II, is not old after renovation, but it has entered the countdown to its existence.

The reason is simple.

The team with the most expensive home package in the world can't just offer 38,500 seats per home game!

Plans for the construction of the new stadium were proposed to the board by Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger. The Frenchman is not a director of the club. Just get involved as a consultant. There had been a previous proposal to expand Highbury to add 7,000 seats, but he rejected it with an impassioned speech.

To be honest, after the final plan was decided, many people sweated for him!

Although the Jinyuan storm has not yet blown, the rising broadcast fee income has already made people see the blueprint of fierce competition in the Premier League in the future. In this case, choosing to spend £390 million on the construction of a new stadium is undoubtedly an act that will weaken the team's competitiveness for years to come.

What is the concept of 390 million?

The transfer fee for the world's top players is just £15 million!

Besides. A club with huge debts is unlikely to offer staggering wages to attract foreign players. This has invisibly cast a shadow over the future of the team.

The new course, which is expected to be built in five years, will be a huge astronomical amount in terms of both the principal amount and the interest generated by the loan. Even though Arsenal FC has always been financially sound, it is not possible to maintain optimism in a tight budget.

Arsene Wenger took the initiative to propose the construction of a new stadium, and naturally he could not shirk his most fundamental responsibility as a manager on the grounds of financial constraints. In the event of a serious decline in the team's results, the French will also face a lot of pressure, especially if the team has already achieved good results.

Cover the pitch and do that kind of thing. The club is happy, the fans are happy, but the players are deeply affected. Focusing on the bright future and tightening your belts now, this kind of thing is not something that everyone wants. The Arsenal's native English gang is fine, and the international column has always been quite complaining about this.

No way, the golden stage of a player's career is just a few years, who doesn't want to take advantage of the good time to become famous and make a lot of money?

"Will Mo Mo start this game?"

After the family took their seats in the stands. The players have already started warming up on the field. The lawn of the stadium had just been mowed and the smell of grass and the dancing red and white figures were coming. Wang Jiujing only found it novel and interesting.

Gone are the days of watching the game from across the track, and the feeling of watching the game up close is inexplicably exciting.

"No, it's still a substitute. The lawn is cut so low, it looks like it's going to be a fast attack. Zhou Xiaofeng said casually and began to make a professional introduction to his new chess friends, "I want to compare with Momo." Anelka is significantly more adaptable to existing attack regimes. Arsenal have the advantage of being at home in this game, and they must still want to win the opponent through conventional means. If that doesn't work, make other plans. ”

"Coming off the bench, I'm afraid it's a double-edged sword, right?" Wang Jiujing nodded lightly and said after pondering for a moment.

Zhou Xiaofeng replied quickly.

"Yes. The time is short. The task is heavy, the cooperation is not tacit enough, and the game feels no. In this situation, it is not very difficult to save the team. Of course, if it is done, the stark contrast will give a strong impression, and it is normal to overturn competitors in one fell swoop and stand in the main position. ”

"The opponent is not weak in this game, right?" Wang Jiujing turned his head and looked at the active figure in the opposite half.

"Well, Newcastle were runners-up in the Premier League in '95 and '96, and the number one star in the team is Alan Shearer, who set a record that is hard to break in '95 and '97.

"Oh?"

"For three years in a row, more than 30 league goals per season!"

"Remarkable. What is the difference between him and Momo? ”

Such a question amused the women around her.

There are so many different places that it may be interesting to find the same places.

"Seems like only the height is the same, right?"

Although Wang Dan's current focus is on Germany, other teams in the Premier League also attract her attention, and this kind of guy who has become a legend before retiring naturally can't escape her sharp eyes.

Alan Shearer is 183 tall and weighs 78 kilograms, he looks murderous and looks quite honest when he laughs.

"If you look closely, the eyes look like them!"

Jiang Xiaolan's eyes and thoughts are much more delicate than hers, and after looking at the pair of focused eyes on the field for a long time, she suddenly felt a little strange in her heart.

Persistent, calm, with a slight smile.

Is that a common denominator?

"The difference is probably that the path Momo chose is more difficult." Zhou Xiaofeng pondered for a long time. Speak out with emotion.

As soon as these words came out, the laughter suddenly stopped. Women, you look at me, I look at you, and I can't find a relaxed mood in each other's eyes.

Although the current situation facing Youmo is not optimistic, the situation is not complicated. As long as he is willing to change his style of play and return to the fulcrum center role he has always played in the junior team. It's not hard to get a foothold in this team. However, as if he did not understand this, he repeatedly challenged the manager's patience with his actions.

If we continue like this, will it become a source of failure?

On the field, the game began immediately, and the players of the two teams were lined up in two rows, with their hands behind their backs and their heads held high. All of them are full of energy. The family who watched sighed.

If you sit on the bench for a long time, will you not be sharp?

Time does not stop flowing because of doubts and emotions, and with the referee's whistle, the fourth round of the 98-99 Premier League season officially begins.

Arsenal have the advantage of being at home and have fielded last season's squad to meet Newcastle's challenge. After three consecutive wins, the Gunners were in high spirits and from the first second of the game, they continued to attack the opposition half. For a while, there was a lot of noise in front of the magpie.

This Arsenal team on the pitch. The age structure is reasonable, and the tactical style of play is mature. Among the three lines, the striker has speed and skill, the midfield has organization and creativity, and the defender has hardness and discipline. After winning two titles last season, confidence and belief are added to these foundations. Such a team, as long as it doesn't have problems. The Premier League does have few opponents.

Newcastle are not weak, and if they hadn't spent a lot of energy on the European battlefield last season, they would not have finished in the middle of the table. They have no European assignments this season, and all their energy is currently focused on the league field. This makes them not play conservatively even if they are away from home against the defending champions.

It's a pity. Such a tactical choice plays right into the hands of the opponent.

Ten minutes before the clock was running out, Bergkamp tore through the Newcastle defence with a through ball. Anelka's low right-footed shot from the six-yard corner of the six-yard box on the right was saved by the goalkeeper. Winger Overmars, who cut inside on the left, just arrived and fired a left-footed volley from inside the box to rewrite the scoreline.

Such a perfect start excited the entire Highbury Stadium, and the surging cheers were mixed with many excited slogans.

"The black and white magpie was shot and fell to the ground, and Gurlitt was killed by a single blow from his Dutch compatriots!"

"Four consecutive victories are beckoning to us, hurry up and send the 'Immortal Bird' to hell!"

"The time has come for the arsenal, the great gunners are on!"

After the goal, Ovemas was very excited, and after running 30 meters, he gave him a warm hug to head coach Arsene Wenger in front of his Dutch compatriots.

Newcastle manager Ruud Gullit had a rather ugly face.

The team stepped on the Highbury Stadium in high spirits, but they were beaten left and right in less than ten minutes. As a head coach, he clearly has a lot of responsibility for his line-up. The pride of the player era was erased by his compatriots in this way, not to mention the loss of face, and also served as a background wall with a lot of weight.

This kind of thing is Dutch.

Nicknamed "Braided Handsome", Gullitt is not purely black, and his brown skin is a mixture of Surinamese and Dutch. If it weren't for the eye-catching pigtails, his physiognomy would not have had the effect of being distant.

It's a pity that the fans recognize his personality and admire his achievements, but the Dutch counterparts don't buy it.

Skin color, personality, these two things transcend skills and achievements, and become a stalk in the heart. Overmars embarrassed his compatriots with such actions, but in fact, it was not intentional, but it was just a habitual neglect after hearing and seeing it.

The so-called "uncrowned king" is full of this helpless situation, and everyone is used to seeing it. However, the scene that happened today completely angered him.

Dare to ignore me?!

Height 191, weight 88 kg Luther Gullit, in the days of the player was a standard strong man. Such excellent physical conditions, coupled with excellent foot skills, broad vision, and super high ball intelligence, made him the title of "the strongest forward player in the world".

The super confrontation ability brought by his height and weight is a sharp weapon for him to gallop on the court. Even after becoming a coach, he still attaches great importance to confrontation ability in training methods and personnel selection. He wasn't going to play it in a simple and brutal way, but now the situation left him with no choice.

It's better than technology, it's worse than the state, is it just a little bit shackled?

The 2,000 fans of Newcastle who went with the army, the angry players on the field, and the rebellious Gullit are not allowed!

Premier League games have always been known for their fierce confrontation, and against a team like Arsenal, who have a fluid technique and a soft style of play, choosing to play in a simple and brutal way often yields good results. The loose penalty scale, the less rigorous tactical system, and the strong and traditional English players are good soil for the above choices. Even if the manager didn't speak, the Newcastle players on the pitch decided to give the opponent a look of colour.

Not only Gullit is underestimated, the entire Newcastle United team has become a laughing stock in the past two seasons!

The rest of the game quickly became explosive.

From the referee showing the first yellow card in the 13th minute to the end of the first half, the game has always been in a state of more than fierce and less exciting for 33 minutes.

Newcastle's players are very experienced and they know how to disrupt the opposition's attack to good effect, and they know how to balance the price with the benefit. After receiving two yellow cards in a row, they managed to provoke a war while quickly reining in deliberately foul moves. This made the referee on duty not keep staring at them, but rather finding a balance, giving the home team player a yellow card and several verbal warnings in the following games.

How the Arsenal players endured!

If you can't beat it, you will make a bad move, and if you can't kick the ball, you will kick people, such a team is not worthy of being called an opponent at all!

To be honest, this is not an overstatement, and Newcastle are doing whatever it takes to provoke their opponents. However, it was the referee on duty who was in charge of the penalty scale, and even if there were occasional inconspicuous fouls, the penalty was not a big deal throughout the first half. As a result, the Arsenal players diverted their attention and turned the otherwise smooth attack into a chaotic mess with anger, which was the real culprit.

After 15 minutes of bitter words in the dressing room, the Arsenal players were much more relaxed. After all, they are still ahead, and as long as they have the initiative in the game, it will not be difficult to take down their opponents.

Unfortunately, not long after the start of the second half, problems struck.

The first half, which should have been easy, finally consumed a lot of physical strength and energy, and those guys who were running around because of the national team events began to become weak in the face of the opponent's high-intensity pressing!

In the 56th minute of the game, David Seaman, who was not busy, ushered in the challenge of his old rival.

Alan Shearer!

Newcastle's attack never picked up much, and it was only set-pieces that threatened the opposition's defence. But that's the way the game is, trying to organise an attack can lead to nothing, seizing an opportunity to take a set-piece can break the deadlock in one fell swoop.

In this corner kick attack and defense, the third winner of the World Footballer of the Year in '96 just glanced at the ball when it took off, and spent all his energy looking for a landing spot!

The so-called sense of smell is so.

Those guys who looked up at the sky all the time, how did they catch up with this kind of guy who had a murder weapon but hid it deeply?

The 35-year-old tried his best to pounce sideways and couldn't stop Alan Shearer from hitting the far corner with a header after a high leap. Just 11 minutes into the second half, the two sides were back to square one.

Origin? (To be continued......)
