Chapter Eighty-Three: Stranded
Winter has arrived, and rumors are spreading. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In this era of exponential information dissemination, it is difficult for people under a magnifying glass to hide their true thoughts.
Naturally, the do-gooders will do everything to satisfy their curiosity, but they have searched and found no clues. But for the media, it doesn't matter if you don't find the reason, after all, the facts are there, and there is no accurate answer to fill in the gaps with your imagination, and by the way, you can make the topic more lively.
In this game, whether it is Anelka in the center position, Petit in the midfield, or even Vieira, who is thunderous in the main position, the performance is not satisfactory, and it is normal for any one to be replaced by Youmo.
So here's the problem.
At home, the opponent who is fighting for relegation, the score of 0:1, the guy who has repeatedly played magically, what reason is there to only let the warm-up not give him a chance to play?
It would be fine if the three guys who came on the bench performed well, but in fact, except for Ljungberg's performance, the other two guys' performance was a disaster!
What's going on?
The first focus is, of course, on the manager.
As a result, Arsene Wenger made just one comment on the matter in his post-match press conference.
"In my dictionary, it's impossible for anyone to beat the effort of the whole team, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't play or not, the loss is something that everyone needs to review."
The subtext is actually quite clear.
The newcomer must have ruined the original order of the team, which led to the punishment coming to the head!
This is not difficult to understand.
The locker room is like the workplace. Status and strength cannot be equated anytime and anywhere. Especially in a team that has proven its own strength, no matter how strong the background of the newcomer joins, it also needs to go through the necessary baptism of newcomers.
However, usually this baptism is the responsibility of the big man in the team. When the manager really needs to intervene, it often means that the locker room conflict has reached the point of irreconcilability!
The media who had already smelled the smell of blood did not give up after repeated rejections, and some people fully carried out their fearless spirit, and began to wait near Youmo's villa on Victoria Embankment Street on the night after the game, and began to wait 24 hours a day.
Naturally, such hard work will not come for nothing.
The next morning, when Wang Yao took Zhou Xiaofeng out to shop, he was startled by the long guns and short cannons that quickly stretched out at the door of the hospital.
As for why these two people were stopped, the reason is actually very simple.
Can't drive......
Both of them have actually taken driver's licenses in China. However, the driving experience is on the short side, and they are not old drivers. Now I have only been in the UK for a short time, and I don't understand the language. It's easy to get into trouble by driving on the road, so it's a common rule to pass the language barrier before taking a driver's license. The two of them didn't plan to do anything when they went out this time, just to buy vegetables and cook, and they didn't expect such an exaggerated battle waiting for them at all.
After the initial chaos has passed. Zhou Xiaofeng's experience in the rivers and lakes came into play. A reporter in the crowd who could speak Chinese was singled out and asked the questions they were most concerned about on behalf of their peers.
"Is there an irreconcilable conflict between MO, the head coach and his teammates?"
Zhou Xiaofeng's black face was a little unangry and arrogant, and his eyes first looked around to make sure that everyone was quiet before he slowly spoke.
"Everybody doesn't position themselves the same, everyone has a different burden on their shoulders, and they're in a different position. Everyone's position is different, so so-called contradictions can never be avoided. ”
"Any top player has a strong sense of self. Or personality, it's a big part of being able to be a top player and stay at the top level. They hate mediocrity, refuse to follow the crowd, and insist on expressing themselves even when they may get into trouble. ”
'The Arsenal dressing room is made up of some of the best players from many countries, and because of the different cultural environments, the experiences of each person are very different, and the mentality and thinking will naturally be different.
"Communication, collision, running-in, these are all normal things. Any deliberate exaggeration of contradictions and wearing colored glasses is not a move that really thinks about this team. ”
"He has a very good working relationship with Mr. Arsène and I am confident that the repercussions of this incident will soon pass."
Although the above content is full of officialdom and a lot of clichés, people who are interested still hear it.
The contradiction is real and not small, whether it can survive depends on the next development of things!
Considering the timeliness of the news, the reporters did not let go of Zhou Xiaofeng and his wife easily, and the question behind it was naturally Wenger's position, or where the butt sits.
'Arsenal's manager is French, and a lot of the players in the squad are also French, so it's normal to think about that. But you know that, and Mr. Arsène knows it even better. ”
"After the implementation of the Boseman Act, every top club will face this problem. Arsenal are nothing more than a forerunner among Premier League clubs and are not worth taking a closer look at with a magnifying glass. ”
"Competitions are the best way to verify everything."
After that, Zhou Xiaofeng pulled Wang Yao out of the crowd, and went straight to the target without looking back.
Although the reporters were a little unsatisfied, they also knew what the purpose of the cautious words and deeds of the two sides was in the current situation, and they silently digested it for a while and then dispersed.
But the solemn atmosphere of the home will not dissipate.
Wenger is notoriously stubborn, especially on a matter that seems to have a rather principled flavor at hand, and it is almost impossible to get the French to approve of Jumo's fallacies.
This meddling in the transfer of players has already made the manager wary, and now the contradiction caused by this difference in philosophy is like adding fuel to the fire, and it quickly makes the French feel threatened!
It's only been a few months since I came to the team, and I dare to talk to the head coach in person, and I have to do it in the long run?
"I think you'd better find a chance to talk to Arsene Wenger. It's not a big deal after all. ”
While eating, Wang Dan couldn't help but mutter.
She was there when Ljungberg called to inform her of the situation, and her heart was cold.
Your own family knows your own affairs. She knows what kind of temper this person next to her is, and it is pure dream to expect him to take the initiative to communicate with others in a low voice!
Really.
"There's no need, since I'm telling him, I'm naturally mentally prepared for the result. Otherwise, do you think I'm full and have nothing to do, and then recycle after I've spoken? You Mo's appetite was obviously unaffected, and he ate without pause.
"Heck, you can go on and hold on to your point. But the attitude could be more sincere! Wang Dan did not give up, and continued to speak of lotus flowers, "Look. Pat Rice also specifically found Ljungberg to send you a message, which shows that the other party does not intend to delve into this matter, but just needs you to have a change of attitude! ”
"Oh, I see." Yu Mo nodded. Muttering to himself in an expectant gaze. "Well, tomorrow I will go directly to the boss and tell him sincerely: all off-the-field methods are shameful, and the best way to deal with bad guys is to keep a distance from them......"
"Uh, that's it?" Wang Dan felt that something was wrong when he heard this, so he interrupted, "Off-the-field means also include transfers, right? ”
"And distancing." Zhou Xiaofeng added in due course.
"Uncle Zhou. Who the hell are you helping? Miss Wang's face suddenly couldn't hold back, and she pulled her neck and snorted.
"Yes. Godfather, you're too used to him! Jiang Xiaolan couldn't bear it when she saw this, and waved her little fist in support.
"I'm really not used to him, you're just worried, but you don't see it clearly. This is a collision of ideas, if you want to achieve the effect, there can be no wavering in the position, otherwise where is it convincing? Zhou Xiaofeng didn't smile as usual, his expression was very serious.
"I just think that Ibradine or something has already stimulated Wenger, and then he used Ferguson's set to stimulate him, will it be too strong? Will it cause misunderstandings? Wang Dan also smiled, but when he said Yibu's name, he laughed at the pig-like teammate next to him.
"If you want to change your perspective and adapt to the times, you can't stop there, and I think it's good to have this rhythm right now. As for causing misunderstandings, don't worry too much, time will prove right or wrong. Although Zhou Xiaofeng's tone was firm, he couldn't help but sigh after speaking.
Things obviously won't be that simple.
If nothing else, the French will find it difficult to accept the issue of face alone.
Where is the reason why a disciple teaches a teacher?
"Then Momo will always sit on the cold bench in the next game?" Jiang Xiaolan frowned, looking worried.
"A cold bench is nothing."
Zhou Xiaofeng's forehead wrinkles were layered, the worry in his eyes was clearly visible, and after a long silence, he said slowly: "People's hearts are terrifying, at this time." ”
As soon as he said this, everyone understood in seconds.
Arsenal's dressing room is not peaceful, and now that Youmo has lost the support of the manager, those guys who have been holding back for a long time will definitely take action!
"What should I do?"
After realizing this impending reality, Wang Dan was a little panicked.
She has just found a stage where she can show her skills, and she is already embattled before she can go on the road, even if she believes that her martial arts are world-famous, and her legs can rival thousands of troops, it is difficult to feel at ease.
"Momo won't be afraid of them!" Jiang Xiaolan didn't have this worry, and her little fist waved again.
"It's not a matter of being afraid or not, they are all teammates, and at such a sensitive stage, if you don't handle it properly, you will be deliberately smeared."
Zhou Xiaofeng turned his head and glanced at You Mo, but he didn't find any unusual emotions, so he continued: "After all, Mo Mo has just come to the team not long ago, even if he takes advantage of it, it is obvious that the team will be in turmoil because of him. If he continues to be pushy, make a mess of the situation, and then pat himself on the ass and leave, you can imagine what the attitude of the next team that will greet him will be. ”
"His teammates aren't that hateful, are they?" Jiang Xiaolan looked puzzled, and suddenly remembered something after asking, so her face changed.
Wang Dan's face became more and more ugly, and his voice was also hateful, "Those French people are the most hateful, relying on themselves and the head coach to be compatriots, and they don't take their teammates in their eyes at all!" ”
"The French are a real headache, but they are opponents on the surface, and Momo will not be unguarded." Zhou Xiaofeng shook his head lightly and turned his gaze to the side: "The English have long been unaccustomed to you, and it is estimated that cynicism is indispensable in this case." ”
"It's a good thing to see people's hearts in adversity." You Mo stopped his chopsticks and smiled.
......
Monday's training was supposed to be a regular recovery session, but the angry professor clearly didn't intend to make it easy for the players. As a result, the strength training in the morning was directly tired of a strong man, and the group confrontation in the afternoon was even more tiring.
Everyone knew why, so no one dared to make a sound to express their emotions, and until the end of the training, the long-awaited Frenchman still did not take the opportunity.
Pat Rice duly appeared in the locker room and took Yumo away.
The destination of the two was not the manager's office, and the five- or six-minute walk from the locker room to the parking lot became a meeting place for the two men.
You Mo didn't know whether this kindness was the idea of the uncle in front of him or Wenger's instructions, but intuitively he felt that the former was more likely.
"Ljungberg must have conveyed my meaning to you, what do you think?"
"Okay, you probably know, I've been wild before, and I'm sure I'll get into some trouble when I first arrive." You Mo's answer was decent, and his voice was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Actually, it's not as serious as you think, and I know Arsina's temper very well, and he won't be biased against you because of this." Pat Rice deliberately slowed down his speech, observing the reactions of the guys around him as he spoke.
The result was a little disappointing for him.
You Mo shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "You actually know what my intentions are, and you also understand what the differences between me and the boss are, don't worry, I am mentally prepared to accept all the consequences." ”
Pat Rice sighed, his voice a little helpless, "Yes, Arsène is right, you and he are both people who insist on what they have seen, and verbal persuasion is not enough to impress each other." ”
"So, I have to say thank you, your attitude has made me a lot better off in this situation. But don't worry, some things will come sooner or later, and I don't have the habit of hiding behind others and expecting others to come forward to solve problems. The smile on You Mo's face remained unchanged, and he patted the other party's shoulder as he spoke.
"Well, how can you say hello, why bother to put yourself in such a situation?" Pat Lestan accepted the other party's kindness, but the wry smile on his face was a little ugly.
"Get used to it, I've loved it since I was 13 years old when I came to the first team, and now it's just a problem and I can't stop."
"Well, good luck."
"Thank you."
"By the way, Lehmann's transfer is already in negotiations, thank you for your efforts."
"Yes, you're welcome."
"Zlatan's possibility is going to run aground for the time being, are you sorry?"
"Nope."
"Oh, see you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow." (To be continued.) )
