Volume 1 Chapter 383 If you're afraid, you'll lose for the rest of your life!

The city derby has always been the game that can arouse the enthusiasm of the fans.

There are many, many derbies in England, some between champions and others because of historical clashes between them, when in fact the latter are often more popular than the former, even at the cost of causing a fan riot.

Many people refer to the match between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur as the north London derby, but no one knows that Arsenal did not come from north London, they only moved north from Woolwich in south London to Highbury in 1913, which caused protests from London teams on the north bank of the Thames such as Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Fulham.

As a north London team, Tottenham Hotspur is undoubtedly Arsenal's biggest victim since they moved north, as Highbury Stadium is located right halfway between White Hart Lane and central London, and it has almost isolated Tottenham Hotspur from London.

Since then, every match between the two teams in north London has sparked hostility between the two sides, but it was the issue of places in the League One expansion in 1919 that really made the two sides hate each other for a century.

At that time, Chelsea was ranked second to last, Tottenham Hotspur was ranked first, according to the regulations, Chelsea was allowed to stay in League One, and Tottenham Hotspur was to compete with Barnsley, the third place in League Two at that time, the last place, but shockingly, Arsenal, who were ranked fifth in League Two at that time, did not qualify for promotion, but was considered by the FA to have outstanding contributions, directly squeezing out Tottenham Hotspur and Barnsley, and promoted to League One.

In this way, Tottenham Hotspur were relegated to League Two, and Arsenal took their place.

This incident caused an uproar in English football at the time, and everyone knew that this was a deal between the president of Arsenal and the FA, but no one could come up with strong evidence, so the anger of the powerless to resist was transformed into the fighting spirit of the opponent on the field, and Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal also became an incompatible century-old feud.

It is a shame to say that since 1999, Tottenham Hotspur has never beaten Arsenal, the Gunners have always maintained an unbeaten record in the north London derby, no matter how good or bad Tottenham Hotspur performs, Arsenal has always been able to overpower their sworn enemies, which makes Tottenham Hotspur fans angry and helpless.

This summer, Ye Qiu took over Tottenham Hotspur, and all Tottenham Hotspur fans are pinning their hopes on Ye Qiu to bring earth-shaking changes to the team, and they all know very well that it is impossible to lead a team to glory in a short period of time by relying on the strength of one person, but they also hope that the team can overcome the shame of the past few years in the north London derby.

Tottenham Hotspur's performance has indeed improved a lot in recent times, first beating Wigan, and then beating Middlesbrough 0 at home, jumping directly to 10th place, and the two consecutive wins have also made Tottenham Hotspur feel a sense of confidence, especially Tottenham Hotspur fans, who hope that the team can be humiliated at the Emirates Stadium.

Ye Qiu also said in an interview with the media before the game that Tottenham Hotspur will go all out at the Emirates Stadium and strive to break the cycle of Tottenham Hotspur being winless by Arsenal in the past few years, and he also hopes that the team can play with his confidence in this north London derby and get out of the trough.

But in fact, Ye Qiu's promise was only half fulfilled

In the Emirates Stadium, the best performance was Tottenham Hotspur, this time even the starting Yaya Toure played very well, Tottenham Hotspur played a very good attack, and the defense was quite good, but still lost the game

When the game reached the first minute, after Tottenham Hotspur pressed the attack, Kolo Toure broke the ball and made a long pass, Adebayo was in a vague offside position, but the referee and the linesman did not give a penalty, but signaled the game to continue, which made the suspended Tottenham Hotspur have no time to stop Adebayor.

Having failed to score so far this season, Bam Adebayo, who is in doubt, has finally scored

Referee Bol walked to the sidelines while celebrating the goal from Arsenal to Ye Qiu, who shouted at him in protest, saying that he and the linesman's views were on the same page, and that Adebayo was indeed not offside.

But Ye Qiu told him that the position and perspective of the two of them, judging from the slow motion of the big screen, this was indeed an offside position, but Bol obviously couldn't accept this, and after seeing Ye Qiu turn around and leave, he didn't say anything, but continued to return to the field to enforce the game.

But in the second half, it was another Arsenal counter-attack, Rosicky was tripped by Mascherano in the box, and referee Bol awarded another penalty, and no matter how Tottenham protested, he felt that the decision was unquestionable.

But Mascherano was very wronged, thinking that he had not touched Rosicky at all, and he did not understand why Rosicky would fall to the ground, which can only explain that the Czechs deliberately faked a fall to cheat the penalty, but Bol was obviously unwilling to accept this.

It was these two controversial penalties that saw Arsenal beat Tottenham Hotspur 0 at home, while Mascherano was sent off the pitch after accumulating two yellow cards, which almost sparked a clash between the players of the two teams on the pitch, but in the end Tottenham Hotspur could not salvage the defeat.

Ye Qiu refused to admit defeat in his post-match press conference, describing Arsenal's victory as a triumph of thieves and liars, arguing that Rosicky's fake fall completely played with everyone, including referee Bol.

Arsene Wenger declined to respond to the question of whether Rosicky faked a fall, saying he didn't see it clearly at the time, but he believed in his players and that Mascherano tackled Rosicky when he was about to break through was an attitude in itself.

Ye Qiu counterattacked on the spot, "Maybe in Mr. Wenger's opinion, in the future, all defenders should try to hide away and avoid getting close to them when they see Arsenal's players breaking through with the ball, otherwise they will fall to the ground anytime and anywhere. ”

Whether the referee is biased or not, Ye Qiu feels that it is difficult to say, the first goal is indeed because of Chloe Toure's fast long pass, the referee and the linesman position are not very good, Bol explained this to Ye Qiu after making the penalty and at halftime, he is not sure whether he is correct, but he can only do this.

At the end of the day, the referee is also a human being, and if you are a human being, you will definitely make mistakes.

As for the penalty for the second goal, that's up to Rosicky.

Of course, any professional player, no matter who he is, when he is cut off in the opponent's penalty area, he will habitually fall to the ground, which has become a very iconic action, and if the referee is not confused, he will give a yellow card warning, thinking that he is faking a fall, but it is also possible to charm the referee and get a penalty.

Considering this, Ye Qiu decided to appeal, but did not point the finger at the referee.

But Tottenham Hotspur fans are not there

"Get out of White Hart Lane, you bunch of trash"

With a roar from the crowd, a small rock slammed into Tottenham's bus.

The bus was full of Tottenham Hotspur first-team players and coaching staff, of course, Ye Qiu, and everyone was startled by the stones flying out of the crowd.

After the game, when the team returned to the bus and was about to leave the Emirates Stadium, there were many extreme Tottenham Hotspur fans blocking the way out of the team's bus, and many people surrounded the bus and kept insulting, slapping the body and window glass, venting their dissatisfaction with the team's loss to Arsenal and their dissatisfaction with the team's current standings.

"We spent 100 million, but we bought your bunch of waste, get out of the house"

"Get out of White Hart Lane, out of London"

Through the glass windows of the team bus, you can see the faces of the group of white and black people, but everyone is clearly distorted and crazy because of the anger.

The place where the small stone was hit just now was full of cracks, and Fanny and the others who were sitting nearby hurriedly left their seats, at this moment, everyone in the car was worried, what would happen if they were rushed into the car by this group of fans?

Countless Arsenal fans and Tottenham Hotspur fans gathered outside the crowd, and they all chose to watch, and the Arsenal fans, who accounted for the absolute majority, were even more gloating and watching the excitement, after all, they wished that Tottenham Hotspur, the sworn enemy, would end up soon, so that they could save a lot of trouble.

The police wanted to maintain order at the scene, but they were obviously understaffed and were desperately asking for support, and someone in the crowd took out a large photo with a portrait of Ye Qiu on it, but was beaten with a big, shocking red cross and a middle finger from the bottom up, which was obviously venting his dissatisfaction with the head coach and the club president.

There were also a lot of reporters on the scene, but they were all filming this once-in-a-lifetime scene, many people said that Tottenham Hotspur would be Ye Qiu's Waterloo, but in fact, this team has been really bad this season, and has now fallen back to 11th place, and lost games like the north London derby, even Tottenham Hotspur fans have rebelled.

Is there a more newsworthy topic in this world than the fall of a celebrity?

Smack - Another small rock from nowhere hit the glass of the team's bus.

Smack - another piece, this time hitting the top.

Smack~smack~smack~

Everyone in the car trembled with the sound of each small stone concentrating on the body, and even many people took out their mobile phones in a panic to call the police, but basically they were busy.

Everyone was praying, praying that the police would come and quickly separate this group of fans who didn't know if they had drunk or not.

The Emirates Stadium, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, as soon as the game is over, the fans will pour out like a tide, and the entrances and exits of the major passages are crowded.

Ye Qiu felt the frightened atmosphere in the carriage, and he could understand the mood of the players at this moment, so he stood up directly, "You all sit in the car and don't move, Johansen, open the front door"

Everyone was frightened by Ye Qiu's actions, and Mauro Tasotti and Roland both immediately stood up and took Ye Qiu's hand.

"Don't mess around, the police will be here soon"

"yes, don't go down, they're all obviously drunk, and they're completely out of their minds."

There will be such a group of people after almost every Premier League game, because the unemployment rate in the UK has been high in recent years, although it has led to a boom in the ball market, but it has also caused a lot of social security problems, one of which is very serious is that there are many football hooligans and drunken troubles.

If you take a closer look at English football, you will find that the worse the economy and the lower the unemployment rate, the more hot the ball market tends to be, because there will be many unemployed people who can only choose to watch football for recreation.

The "head" players also stood up one by one and shook their heads at Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu faced the players solemnly, "I'm not afraid of them at all, because there is nothing to be afraid of"

"Remember one sentence, if you are afraid, you will lose for the rest of your life"

After speaking, Ye Qiu walked to the side of the bus driver Johansen and motioned for him to open the front door of the car.

With a pop, the front door of the car opened, and everyone on the scene was frightened, because when this kind of crowd was surging and angry, Ye Qiu actually dared to walk out of the carriage, what would this cause? Will you be beaten? Some even wonder if they will be killed by this group of obviously drunk guys?

"Close the car door, I'll open the way," Ye Qiu said to the driver, Johansen.

The driver Johansen hesitated, and under Ye Qiu's insistent eyes, he chose to nod, "The car door is very fast, you pat the windshield, and I'll open it" After speaking, with a pop, the car door closed again.

Everyone looked at Ye Qiu who walked from the car door to the front of the car in amazement, they couldn't believe it, was this person crazy? Choosing to rush out at this time? Is he really not afraid?

"Do I want to come out of the Tao for what I want?" Ye Qiu stood still in front of the car, not moving, but looking at the group of extreme Tottenham Hotspur fans in front of him, many of them are probably football hooligans who have been blacklisted on the pitch for the rest of their lives, right?

"Because I feel like I have to come out and tell you that if you really love this team, then everything you are doing now is not called love, because loving a team does not mean that you want to destroy it by drinking and emboldening it, and love does not make you choose to attack the players of the team."

"I'm standing here right now, I'm the head coach of the team, and the president of the team, the biggest responsibility for losing, if you have any grievances to vent, you're coming to me, but now, I'm going to leave here with my players and my assistants, and then I'm going to see if you guys really love this team."

After finishing speaking, Ye Qiu nodded to the driver Johnson behind him, and then walked forward by himself.

Standing in front of Ye Qiu was a black fan, holding the stone in his hand, holding it tightly, as soon as he saw Ye Qiu really coming up, he was gritting his teeth, waving his right hand, and was about to throw the stone in his hand out, but at this moment, a companion next to him hugged his right hand.

"You're fucking crazy, he's our head coach" After saying that, he snatched the stone from his hand, pulled him, and made a way.

The whole scene seemed very quiet, whether it was the onlookers at the scene, or the fans who surrounded the team bus, or the players in the bus, it was very quiet, but everyone's heart was raised, and many people looked around.

Someone in the crowd waved their hands to throw out what they were holding, but they were quickly stopped by the people around them.

The huge crowd slowly branched out like a tide, Ye Qiu walked in front, the bus followed behind, the police at the scene, and some policemen who rushed to hear the call for help hurriedly maintained order, but from beginning to end, no one threw even a single thing at the bus and Ye Qiu in front of the car.

This amazing scene stunned all the reporters and fans at the scene, because they also found that it was not that no one wanted to throw, because for those drunk people who were already drunk, they didn't care who was in front of them, but whenever someone wanted to throw something or rush up, there was always someone in the crowd who stopped them or stopped them.

Even when the police were not manpowered, many Tottenham Hotspur fans spontaneously walked out, holding hands, separating the fans on both sides, and making way for Tottenham Hotspur buses to pass through.

In the bus, the players could see from the windows on both sides, and they could see that many people in the crowd on both sides gave them a thumbs up, but in their opinion, this was for the head coach Ye Qiu.

Bang bang - the driver Johansen banged the windshield desperately, he shouted a few times, but Ye Qiu, who was walking in front, didn't hear it, so he used this way to exchange Ye Qiu's attention, "It's okay, get in the car" Johansen said.

Ye Qiu saw that the bus had gone to a wide area, nodded, and returned to the bus.

"Hurry up and sit down, let's go" Ye Qiu sat down in his seat and shouted to the players.

The players didn't say anything, they each returned to their positions and sat down, but the eyes that looked at Ye Qiu one by one obviously became a little different from usual, at least at that moment just now, none of them had the courage to go down, because they didn't know what would happen after they went down.

Because of this, they admired Ye Qiu's courage to go down very much, even if nothing happened after going down, but at least at that moment, he dared to go down, which in itself proved everything, and maybe it was his courage to go down that shocked that group of fans.

"If you're afraid, you're doomed to lose for the rest of your life"

Ye Qiu's words kept ringing in their ears.

The team's bus left the Emirates Stadium and headed north along the highway, and although no one spoke or left their seats on the bus, everyone forgot about the defeat to Arsenal.
