May 15th, morning, fine.

The moment I walked out of the house, I saw the rare blue sky in the British sky, and even people's mood was much better.

Arsene Wenger looked to the east, raised his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at the rising sun in the east, his face full of the ravine of the years.

In the past season, it can be said that he felt the pressure he hadn't felt for a long time, and the pressure that Ye Qiu and Chelsea brought to him and Arsenal even exceeded the pressure created by Manchester United's desperate counterattack.

Every morning before breakfast, he now has to watch the day's newspaper and follow Chelsea before breakfast, and when he returns to A.T. Kearney's training base, the first thing he does is ask his assistant Pat Rice, what happened to that bastard yesterday?

Sometimes when I think about it, he feels that he is not like the head coach of Arsenal at all, but like a loyal fan who is crazy about Chelsea and Ye Qiu, as long as Ye Qiu and Chelsea's every move, he will pay attention to it, become nervous, and the whole life and team preparation revolve around each other.

This kind of life is so tiring, so tired that it can almost crush a person.

"Daddy" daughter Lily ran out of the house and hugged Wenger's legs directly, she can only go to Wenger's waist now, a very lively and lovely little girl, and her sister is still eating breakfast under the strict supervision of his wife, but she is looking out of the window, like a free-flying bird, full of envy.

"My mom and I want to watch you play," Lily said expectantly.

Wenger squatted down kindly, "What's so good about the game?" "He didn't think he had a good chance of winning today.

"However, everyone Huang Chu's sister has to go and see it," Lily pouted innocently.

Wenger has seen Huang Chu a few times, a very beautiful oriental woman, Ye Qiu's wife, lives next door, and her relationship with her wife is okay, I heard that she is a doctor who graduated from Cambridge University, and today is the last round of the Premier League, there is no doubt that she will definitely go to see her husband's game

"Lily, aren't we going to the park in the afternoon?" His wife walked from home to the door, and when Wenger felt embarrassed, she relieved him of the siege, and also won Wenger's grateful smile.

To be honest, he didn't want his daughter to see him lose the whole season, and it was not only cruel to the child, but even more cruel to him as a father, even if he was already mentally prepared for all this.

"Hmph" Lily wrinkled her nose and snorted at her father, and ran back to the house quickly.

Arsene Wenger walked to the garage and got into the car, taking a deep breath and allowing himself to be forced to calm down and come to his senses.

For him, winning this game in the afternoon is a sure thing, but after beating the opponent, the possibility of Arsenal reversing Chelsea to win the title is very slim, because Ye Qiu is unlikely to let his team suffer a mistake in the last game.

Either way, Arsene Wenger has to do his best to play this game, and not just for himself.

Sometimes, you must believe that when you feel irritable and feel uncomfortable, all things that don't go well will come to you, just like Wenger now, he would never have thought that the car that drove home well last night would break down early this morning, and he couldn't get up no matter how he fought.

Wenger slapped the steering wheel a few times in the car, got out of the car angrily, closed the door with his hands slammed, and walked directly to the gate, because his wife still had to watch the children, there was no way to send him to work, David Dunn should have gone to Kearney if there was no accident, so he only has one way now, taxi.

Just as Wenger walked out of the house and picked up his mobile phone to make a call, a car drove out on the opposite side, a red Ferrari, which looked dazzling in the golden sun, but in Wenger's eyes, it was dazzling.

"What's wrong?" Ye Qiu lowered his head, looked out of the car window, and looked down the door, the car in the garage was still there, which made Ye Qiu can't help but smile, "Broken?" ”

I don't know how annoying that expression is, this damn guy, why didn't his car break?

"Oh, it's almost time" Ye Qiu looked at Hamilton on his left wrist and pouted, although there is no need to train this morning, the team still has to concentrate, usually the day before the game, the players either stay in a hotel or live in a training base, but the next morning, the head coach must gather them on time.

Arsene Wenger of course knows what Ye Qiu means, London taxis, especially those who live in remote towns, usually have to call the taxi company in advance, and they will arrange for nearby cars to come and pick them up, but it often takes a lot of time to come and go.

"Am I stopping by?" Ye Qiu smiled and sent out an invitation.

Wenger hesitated, and finally sat in Ye Qiu's Ferrari, originally he was still worried, with his L meter 93 size, it should be very awkward to sit in this small Ferrari, but he didn't expect that after sitting in, it felt completely different, very comfortable, especially the set of seats specially customized for Ye Qiu.

"Your car should also be replaced, the chain fell off at the critical moment, it can't be trusted" Ye Qiu stepped on the accelerator lightly, and the car jumped out directly, speeding up very quickly, giving people a very strong sense of pushing back.

Wenger didn't respond to Ye Qiu's pun remarks, just tilted his head sideways and looked out the window blankly, as if the scenery that was constantly flying backwards attracted him even more, giving him the illusion that time was going back, and also reminded him of a very distant thing.

For a long, long time, they did not speak, and the carriage was filled with an embarrassment called silence.

"Do you know why I have been refusing to leave Arsenal?" Finally, Wenger asked softly.

Ye Qiu didn't expect Wenger to take the initiative to talk to him, and shook his head.

'I remember very well all along, I came to Arsenal at the end of September 1996, when Arsenal were very strong and started very well, and after I came, from October onwards, the team played four Premier League games, won and drawn, and before that, Arsenal had five wins, draws and one defeat, and then we met Manchester United in the second game of the month of ll.

Arsene Wenger spoke slowly and softly, making it very comfortable to listen to, as if he was listening to the radio.

'It was rainy, it was wet and slippery and we did well throughout the game but there was a flaw when our left-back Winterburn got back into the box in the first minute and had a shot from Andy Cole into his own net.

Ye Qiu drove the car, looking ahead, but he listened carefully to Wenger's words, and he noticed one thing, Wenger described all the time and data very clearly and in detail, and there was only one explanation, that is, this matter impressed him very deeply.

It was so profound that it happened in 1996, and today in 04, he still remembers it so clearly.

"At that time, my feeling was, lost" When he said this, Wenger sneered, but not at anyone, but at his own extremely naïve thoughts at the time, "Losing is not new to me, on the contrary, I have not lost, who has never lost a professional coach?" ”

"At that time, this game gave me the feeling of being unwilling, I felt that I had lost unjustly, but it was nothing, anyway, it was all over, and there was no way to get it back, but the next day, a fan ran up to me and cried and shouted at me that his cousin secretly hid and committed suicide after the team lost to Manchester United."

When he heard this, Ye Qiu couldn't help but be a little surprised, his hand shook, he turned his head sideways to look at Wenger, his eyes were full of disbelief, and Wenger also looked at him and smiled, "My expression at that time was exactly the same as you are now, I didn't believe it at all, and I replied, don't joke, and then I'll leave." ”

"But that afternoon, David Dunn said to me, hey, leave me tomorrow afternoon, let's go to the funeral of a fan, and I asked, what fan? He told me that after last night's defeat to Manchester United, a young fan committed suicide and that he was a student and grew up being an Arsenal fan. ”

Taking a deep breath, Wenger squeezed out a little reluctant smile, "I didn't know until then that it turned out to be true, there are really people who commit suicide because we lost a game, and there are really people who are willing to give up their lives because we lost a game, I didn't understand at the time, for what?" What could happen for Lang? ”

"David Dunn said to me, remember, man, anywhere else in the world, football may be just a game, a piece of entertainment, even a show, but in England, in England, football is a faith."

"Take a good look at the team emblem on your chest, it is a hundred years, countless people have gathered their faith with their hard work, don't let it down and waste it casually, because you will never know the way, in your thoughts, it may only be a loss for you, but for a person, for a family, it is the loss of a life, the destruction of a family, and the creation of a tragedy."

Ye Qiu listened silently, he didn't know what kind of opinion he should express on this kind of thing, he couldn't understand it even more.

Of course, there may be many people who think that the person who committed suicide is a fool and committed suicide for a ball for no reason, but do people with this kind of thinking put themselves in the shoes of the suicide? Perhaps, he will feel that his dreams and beliefs have completely collapsed because of this game, which makes him feel hopeless

Ye Qiu didn't encourage this kind of suicidal behavior, and he didn't even want the same tragedy to happen again, he just felt that maybe in this world, it was not impossible for fans like that to commit suicide because of a game.

Faith, after coming to England, Ye Qiu heard a lot about this word, many people said that football is the faith of English people, if this is the case, that fan is the best portrayal.

'A lot of people think I want to be successful and I never deny that, but I'm not going to leave Arsenal because I want to use my strength to keep this team, this belief, alive among Arsenal fans, and that's more valuable than when I win the title.

"And in order to do that, I will give my all in every game and leave no regrets or excuses for myself"

The last sentence is what Wenger wants to say, right?

"Then I'm a little better than you" Ye Qiu smiled and said, "I've never liked to lose, and I've always done my best, and I never did anything I regretted, including today's game."

Wenger didn't say anything more, and continued to look out of his window, he has never been a person who is good at words, especially when he looks at Ye Qiu, he feels that it is a shame to say a few more words, but he doesn't know what Lu Dao is about, he said a lot to Ye Qiu today, and even many people who would not have said it to people before, but now they have said it.

Perhaps, in his heart, even he himself admitted, putting aside the complicated emotions of his opponent, Ye Qiu is really a good person, a good neighbor, a good friend, of course, he is a rather bad opponent, and he is unlucky to meet him

Ye Qiu also had some thoughts in his heart, he used to think that Wenger was very stubborn and rigid, but now it sounds, it seems that there is something different, at least he can hear that Wenger intends to be loyal to Arsenal for the rest of his life, and this is more or less affected by the fan who committed suicide back then, which makes Wenger feel indebted to this team, this group of fans something.

But this is a crazy world, who can imagine that in a few years, Arsenal in order to build a new stadium, shrink their diet, Wenger's coaching performance is also getting worse, but with the strong rise of Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and other teams, Arsenal's Premier League status has been challenged, and Wenger has also been criticized by Arsenal fans.

Whether Wenger is wrong or not, Ye Qiu is hard to say, because nothing in this world is necessarily wrong.

It's just that he feels that a manager who can't bring results to the team and make the fans satisfied, no matter how good he does, the fans may not appreciate it or understand it, because with the changes of the times and the development of the future, many things are rapidly depreciating, including a person's beliefs

But after sending Wenger to the hotel, Ye Qiu kept thinking about this problem on the way back to the hotel where Chelsea was stationed.

In the past, he has been busy, since he came to London, he has spent almost every day busy, he has never experienced the feelings of the fans, and he has never experienced the kind of faith of England fans.

In the past, for him, Chelsea was a job that he loved and loved, a vast platform for him to prove his coaching ability, but after Wenger said this, Ye Qiu suddenly became very interested in getting to know the fans here and their feelings for a team.

Arsene Wenger's day was destined to be unlucky and bumpy.

Before he went out in the morning, the car broke down, and if it weren't for Ye Qiu, he wouldn't have been able to arrive at the hotel on time.

In the afternoon game, his start was also quite difficult, although Arsenal has improved his form and physical fitness after adjustments, but overall it is still relatively bad, but he can still rely on the team's strong strength to suppress the opponent and create pressure on the Leicester City team.

But no one expected that Arsenal could not attack for a long time, but the away team Leicester City scored the first goal in the first minute, Sinclair got rid of Vieira on the right and crossed, and the opponent's goalkeeper scored with a header in the small penalty area to open the scoring for Leicester City.

All the Gunners fans at Highbury Stadium panicked, the Arsenal players panicked, even the coaching staff, and even the substitutes sitting on the sidelines panicked, Wenger rushed to the sidelines, roaring loudly and shouting at the players, he couldn't accept that the team would concede goals and lose in such a situation

The first half was not effective, and at half-time, Arsene Wenger was in a very rare rage in the dressing room, reprimanding all the players in the team for their poor performance, and even using threatening words to make his anger feel by everyone.

Don't get angry on weekdays, don't be a professor without anger

Arsene Wenger was on fire, and the situation of the team changed completely in the second half, and less than a minute into the second half, Bergkamp picked up a cross in the penalty area, Ashley Cole cut in on the left and hit the goal, but the ball was saved, Henry calmly hit the shot, and the score was successfully equalized, and this is Henry's 30th Premier League goal this season, the Premier League's top scorer.

After the goal, Thierry Henry looked very excited, because in the Premier League, 30 goals are a threshold, and with this result, it is enough to be among the club's legendary goalscorers, and no, sorry, you are not qualified enough.

Today, Thierry Henry has 30 goals, four more than Frank Lampard, Chelsea's second-ranked top scorer.

After the equalizer, Arsenal still launched a fierce attack on Leicester City, Wenger also kept calling on the players on the sidelines to continue to strengthen the attack, and he also kept making substitutions, successively replacing Reyes, Pire and other players to further strengthen the team's attack.

Finally, in the 78th minute, Arsenal scored again, and it was the veteran Bergkamp who retreated and turned the ball with a precise through ball that tore through the Leicester City defense, Vieira inserted it, and under the disturbance of Henry and others, he went straight into the penalty area, calmly shook the goalkeeper, and sent the ball into the empty goal, L

Highbury Stadium was completely boiling, all the Gunners fans were shouting, and it was clear that by winning the opponent, Arsenal would still have the hope of winning the title, and they would have the right to continue dreaming.

But as the whistle blew at the end of the game, and as the results of the match at Stamford Bridge, which was not far from Highbury Stadium, came out, all the Gunners fans in the entire Highbury Stadium were silent.

In that blue home stadium, Chelsea did not spare the slightest, 0 slaughter has been doomed to be relegated Leeds United, Ye Qiu's team pulled out the bloodthirsty fangs from the beginning, did not give Leeds United the slightest chance to resist, directly pushed Leeds United to the ground, a fat beating.

The five-goal slaughter represents the shattering of the hopes of all Gunners fans

At this moment, the entire Highbury Stadium suddenly fell silent, and then, a faint cry began to be heard.

They lost
