The League Cup final is about to begin.

The match against Crewe was on Sunday and the Carabao Cup final day on Friday of the following week, before Wigan Athletic were without a league and they were focused on preparing for the Carabao Cup final. Every player is training hard, every coach is figuring out how to deal with Arsenal and the pre-tournament atmosphere is already spreading through the club.

Not just the players and coaches, in fact, Wigan Athletic's press officer, Piku Garyberg, has become one of the busiest people during this time, needing more than a dozen media outlets from all over the world every year, as well as organising press conferences for the team to satisfy those who need to know Wigan Athletic.

It's his job.

Although he is busy, Gary Berg has been very motivated recently, as a press officer of a small club, he usually has nothing to do, and he used to come to the team to cover only a few local media, he is very familiar with them, and he doesn't even need to say hello, his work is very leisurely.

But he didn't like that.

The club now has a mix of media from all over the world, most of them from England, but also from Wales and Scotland, and even a few journalists from Germany and France.

This is a foreign journalist!

When will Wigan Athletic have foreign journalists to cover them? Seeing these journalists gave him a sense of accomplishment and joy that his ability to speak English, French, Spanish and German had finally come into handy.

Gary Berger dealt with the journalists, he was not stingy with praise for every player in the team, he kept introducing Wigan to the outside world, introducing Wigan Athletic, because he knew the way, and this was an opportunity for the whole of Europe to know about Wigan Athletic.

Wigan Athletic Club is small, and they only have twenty seats for press conferences, which is usually enough, but there are so many reporters in this period that Gary Berg has had to add twenty seats to the venue, and even then there are always reporters standing to cover the news.

At the same time, Gary Berg also sensed the contempt for Wigan Athletic by the media who came to the scene.

When they come to interview the news, they only come to interview and understand on behalf of the attitude of neutral media, but it does not mean that they are optimistic about Wigan Athletic.

In fact, no one is optimistic about Wigan Athletic, after all, their opponent is Arsenal, who is unstoppable in today's football, and against the mighty Arsenal, who can expect Wigan Athletic to pull off a miracle victory?

Even the local media of Weigan are the same.

Wigan's local media, which are just tabloid media, have unquestionable support for Wigan Athletic, but when the opponent is the mighty Arsenal, the Wigan media are also silent, they have been covering the game, but they have never mentioned anything about 'the team going to win'.

It's funny to say that it is an honor to participate in the final of the League Cup, but not to mention fighting for the championship, but only to report on the team, report on the team's preparation, and report on the fact that it is an honor to participate in the final.

But Wigan Media can't help it.

Who wouldn't want to win the championship? As Wigan's local media, they also hope that the team can win the title, but the opponent is Arsenal...... Arsenal! What a strong team that is!? Arsenal is like a prehistoric Tyrannosaurus rex, and Wigan Athletic is the frightened wallaby before the Tyrannosaurus rex, the two are not comparable at all, when the wallaby encounters the Tyrannosaurus rex, can you still imagine the result?

No matter how the wallaby chooses and how to do it, the result is estimated to make no difference, after all, you can't expect an ordinary wallaby to beat the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Wigan Media is Wigan Athletic's biggest fan, but they don't have much confidence when it comes to the game, they don't believe Wigan Athletic can beat Arsenal.

Even if Wigan Athletic has Zhang Tiehan, even Riedell is going to make a comeback......

Is there a difference?

Arsenal has a lot of stars, and if they find one at random, they are more famous than Zhang Tiehan and Riddle, and they are stronger, more experienced, and more valuable than them...... Not to mention the rest of Wigan Athletic's players, which are simply not comparable.

In their opinion, Wigan Athletic would be good enough to play in the League Cup final.

But the necessary interviews still have to be conducted, a few days later, Wigan Athletic every player walked through the press conference, talking about their views on the final, and the team's training, Zhang Tiehan has attended a press conference, he said at the press conference that he will try to win for the team, he said very sincerely, but no one takes it seriously, they think Zhang Tiehan, as a Wigan Athletic player, will naturally say that, if he says 'the team can't play Arsenal anyway', it would be really strange.

The Manchester media did not take Zhang Tiehan's words seriously, and those from London talked about Zhang Tiehan's speech in the interview with great interest.

In their reports, it has been confirmed that Arsenal will win the title.

However, they have not stopped interviewing Wigan Athletic, which seems to be a very strange and contradictory thing, but after reading their report, you can understand the reason, because the London media has characterized this game as a 'North and South War'!

In the division of English football, the football in the south and the football in the north have been contradictory for a long time.

One of the main reasons is that football in the north of England has been very good in history, the most representative of which is Manchester United and Liverpool, the history belongs to Liverpool, and now belongs to Manchester United, the south of Ingra includes the London area, and the only big club that can really get hands on it is Arsenal, but no matter compared to Liverpool or Manchester United, Arsenal can come up with too few honors.

In such a situation, the media in the south of England, including the London area, are naturally somewhat hostile to the northern teams, which is also the origin of the 'North and South Wars' in English football.

In recent years, due to the strength of Manchester United, only Arsenal has the qualification to challenge Manchester United's supremacy in the league, so the match between Arsenal and Manchester United is called the 'North and South' by English fans, but it is not certain, and now it is also a team in the Manchester area, Wigan Athletic and Arsenal meet, and the London media will 'happily' summarize the game as 'North and South'.

The Manchester media scoffed at this perception.

But Wigan Athletic is indeed a Manchester team, and they and Arsenal did meet in the league, so the London media's statement barely makes sense, of course, this Manchester media will not admit this, and they use various reasons to refute the London media's claims.

It's been a hot topic for a few days.

That's why the London media will be happy to talk about Zhang Tiehan's speech in an interview, they think that 'Wigan Athletic players are very scrappy, and the game at Cardiff Millennium Stadium will be very good', at least that's what they reported, but the Manchester media is emphasizing that 'Wigan Athletic is a League One team, and Arsenal is not at the same level at all', if you don't know the way, you can't understand it at all.

Could it be that the London media is backing Wigan Athletic, while the Manchester media is backing Arsenal?

It's upside down!

But that's what happened, and there was a reason why the London media did it, and they were eager to keep touting Wigan Athletic, so as to prove that the two sides were close, and recently characterized the game to the level of a 'North and South', when Arsenal won the game, not only the League Cup, but also the whole of southern England football, which is really meaningful.

If it was against Manchester United, they wouldn't dare do it, but against Wigan Athletic...... It's just to give Arsenal an honor!

The Manchester media also believes that Wigan Athletic is difficult to win against Arsenal, it can be said that there is basically no hope, but Wigan Athletic loses if they lose, but they can't represent the north of England football to lose to Arsenal, so they have been saying that the victory gap between Wigan Athletic and Arsenal is too big, and it has recently proved that Wigan Athletic cannot represent the north of England football.

The media on both sides have been turned upside down.

But in fact, discerning people can see at a glance that no one on either side is optimistic about Wigan Athletic, and it is this premise that makes them quarrel.

……

"It's like two hunters fighting over a rabbit that they shot to death, and they both said they shot the rabbit first, but if the rabbit ran away, they wouldn't be arguing......" Bregin said of the recent topic, a metaphor for his teammate's 'image'.

The faces of the teammates turned black when they heard this, and Zhang Tiehan couldn't help but scold, "You are the rabbit, your whole family is a rabbit!" ”

Bregin cowered, "I mean the team ......"

"Neither can the team! We're Wigan Athletic! If those Wigan fans outside listen to you, they will have to fight for you! Barnes said in a perkluster voice, then whispered, "I don't know if we have a chance to win." ”

"Yes, it's Arsenal......

"Arsenal!"

'They are unbeaten in the league and have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Looking at these teammates who didn't have much fighting spirit, Zhang Tiehan frowned, he also thought about this question, and there was no answer, but without an answer, he simply didn't want to.

Our chances are very few, but we have to fight!

His idea was as simple as that.

Zhang Tiehan felt that he should say something to improve the morale of his teammates, otherwise he would not be able to win on the court no matter how hard he tried.

"Compared to them, we are nothing." He suddenly opened his mouth and said loudly, which attracted the attention of other people, and then Zhang Tiehan stood up, raised his hand and said, "But it is precisely because of this that we are not afraid of anything!" What are you afraid of when you lose! We're going to lose anyway, we're nothing to be afraid of, we're a small team, we're not famous, we're nothing, but even if we lose, we're going to make them uncomfortable! ”

"Don't be afraid to lose, we'll go to Cardiff Stadium and him!"

Zhang Tiehan pointed at Brekin, "Just like Ian said, if he can tackle Henry in the game, he will become famous!" We're the same, thinking that it's useless to think that mess, just go up and him! Barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, and when it comes to the finals, we are not afraid of losing, what are we afraid of! ”

The others also became enthusiastic when they heard this!

That's right, the media and fans outside think that they will definitely lose, and even if they lose, they don't have any pressure, so what are they afraid of? It's useless to think so much, so they just go to the game, even if they lose, they know that they are not soft persimmons to be kneaded!

When they go to Cardiff Stadium, they don't go on a day trip, they go to play, and what the game is going to do, naturally, is to play against Arsenal in the past.

But we're not afraid to lose!

Then do it!
