Chapter 578: Keep Going!
Chapter 578: Keep Going!!
After more than ten seconds, Wenger's tone softened a little and said: "I watched the two games between Li and the Chinese team."
Arsenal's players were confused and couldn't understand how Arsene Wenger had diverted the subject at this juncture. Now I shouldn't talk about the club and the league, how did I jump to the national team all of a sudden?
Arsene Wenger continued: "I was particularly impressed by the game against Paraguay, not because Lee or his team-mates were so confused, even though they worked very hard and did well in that game, I focused on something else. ”
"I saw a banner in the stands where Chinese fans gathered, and it was very long, big, but there were very few words. However, the fans around that banner were the most attentive and active, so I was interested in that banner. ”
"As soon as the competition ended, I couldn't wait to call Li and ask what was written on this banner, and I was sorry that although I am proficient in many Chinese, there is no Chinese in it."
Li Zihan told me in a very heavy tone, that is the most noble belief of Chinese fans in the team. Its meaning is: win together crazy, lose together to carry! ”
I silently chewed on the meaning of this passage twice in my heart before finally understanding. It's because the fans are integrated into the team, and they are happy if the team wins, but if the team loses, they think they are also responsible, and they should face the defeat with the team! ”
"I also handed over this sentence to all our players today, the team's loss is not the fault of one link and one person, but the responsibility of all the players of the whole team!" Arsene Wenger looked at the players who were silent with their heads bowed and walked out of the dressing room with a straight face.
The locker room was quiet, and the silence was a little unreal. Some players even think that Wenger is making a big fuss, after all, this game is not without loss
I don't know how long, maybe two minutes, maybe three minutes, maybe even five minutes. Li Zihan stood up from his seat, clapped his hands and said after attracting the attention of his teammates: "What the professor said is not wrong, all of us are not good in this game. It's the responsibility of the whole team to lose, don't take it as a draw and accept it. For Arsenal, for the Gunners, the king of Europe, and even for our fans, it's our responsibility not to win and not to get the three points! ”
As the captain of the team, Li Zihan rarely stands up to speak, and he often uses actions to express it
So everyone looked at this young man in surprise, who had just become the captain, although he was weak in the championship year, his prestige at Arsenal was not low at all.
Li Zihan's voice changed: "But this is not the end of the world, is it?" Didn't the game go unwon? It doesn't matter, we'll win it again in the next game! Down, down, down until we win the championship!! ”
Clapped his hands again: "Okay, now it's time for us to face the world!" ”
After saying that, Li Zihan followed Wenger behind him and left the dressing room, Li Zihan stood outside the dressing room, but saw Wenger and assistant coach Steve Boulder standing opposite him and looking at him with a smile.
Li Zihan was stunned for a moment, and then blushed a little.
The home dressing room was well insulated, but the door to the dressing room was not closed at the moment, and the voices of the Arsenal players could be heard in the gap that was not spacious.
"The professor and the captain are right! It's a game that is the responsibility of all of us, and last season we were almost knocked out by Hull City in the FA Cup final, and this game is no different. We didn't play well against them in both games, so we have reason to blame ourselves. Li Zihan can hear that this is the veteran Thomas Rosicky who has led the way for him since he came to Arsenal, and the two are also very good friends.
"Yes, we are the European champions, how can we be beaten so badly by the other side, we can't be careless in the next games, whether it is the main team or the rotation is an indispensable part of the club and the team, so we have to be strict with this game and the following games." This is the voice of Wilshere, the little prince of the team.
Then Medsatt, Mesut and others responded, and Ramsey, Koscielny and Szczesny, who had fatal mistakes in this game, also took the initiative to stand up and admit their mistakes.
Li Zihan, Wenger and Boulder outside the door all smiled with satisfaction, Wenger smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go to the press conference!" ”
The post-match press conference was strange, because Arsene Wenger did not bring Koscielny and Szczesny, who were the captain of the field in this game or the highest scorer in the Arsenal team in this game, or even had mistakes, to the press conference, but brought the team's No. 1 captain Li Zihan, who did not even play a minute in this game, to attend the post-match press conference.
In the post-match press conference, Wenger avoided the importance and did not directly answer the reporters' expressions about Szczesny and Koscielny, but said that the team was affected by the "FIFA virus", which is nothing, after flying over several continents for the national team and playing for nearly half a month, it is of course impossible to return to the club so quickly to find form.
Arsene Wenger also said Hull City were runners-up in the FA Cup last season, while Arsenal were the FA Cup winners. The FA Cup winners were runners-up, and it was not surprising that this outcome would be achieved
Good guys, even Arsene Wenger is a scoundrel.
In an interview, Li Zihan said that the team should turn this game into the basis of victory, and be able to make a breakthrough in the following games.
Both the master and apprentice avoided this game, and the direct rivals of Arsenal League Titles such as Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City all won in this round, so Arsenal did not win this game because there was pressure, but fortunately, Arsenal had won the London derby before, so even if it was a draw, Arsenal would still be the league leader.
After the weekend of league fixtures, Arsenal flew to Belgium without time to rest the next day.
The Champions League is in midweek and now it's the third round of the Champions League group stage this season.
On October 21, Arsenal took on Belgian giants Anderlecht away.
The Stade Constante van den stock is the most famous stadium in all of Belgium, as it is the home of Belgian giants Anderlecht. Anderlecht is a team that many Belgian players who play in the Belgian First Division want to join, and it means what Real Madrid means to Spanish players.
As a long-established Belgian giant, Anderlecht is well-known throughout Europe. They have already won the Belgian top flight and are regulars in the Europa League and Champions League.
But in terms of strength and heritage, they are far from Arsenal.
When the Dutch referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score was fixed at 4-0. Arsenal went on a killing spree in this round of group stage!
And the Belgians at home know that they may not even qualify for the UEFA Cup after the strength of this game. However, they are the weakest in this group, and they have already expected this result.
Li Zihan scored twice in this game and also scored an assist. Paul Pogba scored a long-range shot, Alexis Sanchez also scored a goal and Mesut Ozil scored a hat-trick of assists!
This Champions League is over, and the media is analyzing Arsenal again. They have said that Arsenal's main force and core are definitely a favorable contender for the championship or even one of the last options.
But as for rotation and substitutions, hehe
After the end of the third round of the group stage, Arsenal won all three rounds of games and got nine points, it can be said that they have mastered the absolute initiative to qualify from the group, and even basically locked the first place in the group, as long as they don't pit themselves in the next three games
On October 25, the main theme returned to the league. Arsenal visited the Stadium of Light in this round of matches to face Sunderland, the black cat who has been relegated almost every year.
And today in the Premier League, Arsenal met Sunderland again, then it means that they were successfully relegated last season, and they are really cats, with nine lives!!
The Stadium of Light is a blessed land for Li Zihan, who scored a hat trick on this stadium last season, completely summing up the titles of "parallel goods" and "shooting stars".
At the end of the season, Li Zihan's Arsenal also won the first Champions League title in the history of his and Arsenal clubs at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, Portugal, which has the same name as this stadium.
Perhaps it is precisely because this is Li Zihan's blessed land that Li Zihan led his team to win in this stadium again.
Arsenal beat Black Cat Sunderland 3-1. Lee scored one goal but had two assists, Alexis Sanchez and Harry Kane each scored one, and Lee Zihan scored a goal with an assist from Mesut Ozil.
Arsenal's attacking combination seems to have begun to take shape.
It was Li's good friend Giaccherini who scored the face-saving goal for Sunderland, and the pair exchanged shirts on the pitch after the game and then exchanged greetings.
These two friends who came out of Juventus want to go in two directions, and Li Zihan's name has resounded throughout Europe and even the planet. However, Giaccherini is still struggling between the main team and rotation, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the relationship between the two and their love and dedication to football.
Pogba also laughed and came up to gag.
After the game, Giaccherini invited Li Zihan to a local dinner, which has almost become an unwritten rule. Whoever is on the home field will be invited to dinner.
Giaccherini joked that he was so unlucky that he had to treat himself if he lost.
Pogba laughed and said, "That's because you didn't hug your thighs!" ”
Flat-chested "boba" in the phrase!
