Chapter 49: Time to Rest
'When I'm 100 per cent back, I can't accept being on the bench. I'm 100 per cent worthy of being in Arsenal's starting 11 and I have what it takes. I've had enough of the bench in my career. If the coach thinks differently from me, of course it's fair, after all, it's up to him to choose the line-up, but I would never agree with that. Bendtner said without hesitation.
If Bendtner's remarks end here, they may be considered normal skirmishes within the team. But his subsequent remarks about "possible departure" really made the team passive. "I've reached the point where I'm going to take my career to the next level, and that's why I've asked to be a regular player. If that doesn't change, I'm going to look for a transfer, that's obvious. I've had enough patience in the past, but I'm not going to accept being on the bench again. ”
This is not the first time that Bendtner has made a 'declaration of departure', as he was attacked in 2008 when he first arrived in the squad for joining the squad, and self-confidence is the ladder of human progress, and Bendtner's self-confidence is indeed not an unacceptable thing. But this guy is purely self-inflicted, and his famously big mouth is always capable of making amazing remarks.
Xiao Qing was speechless, Bendtner's troubles at this time were really depressing; Originally, Arsenal's current momentum is still very good, and the most important thing for Arsenal now is to maintain stability, but Bendtner is now coming out like this, and I believe that at this time, the media that have been unwinded will definitely seize this matter and make a big fuss. And for Arsenal, which had a good chemistry. Bendtner's provocation is also sure to cause some change in the atmosphere in the team's locker room.
Although the Champions League suffered a disappointment and disappointment in the group stage. Although Arsenal is now also exposed to some dressing room conflicts. However, Arsenal still got a good deal a few days ago, with Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey returning to action for the first time after more than nine months of injury. The 19-year-old played 45 minutes in Arsenal's development game against Wolves and looked in good form and confidence before being substituted at half-time and the first step on his comeback was completed.
Ramsey's comeback is a happy event, after all, his serious injury was considered to be a catastrophic injury that would almost end his career; And now, although Ramsey is recovering from a major injury. Although Arsenal officials soon announced that Wales star Ramsey will join Championship side Nottingham Forest on loan for three months, Ramsey can return to the pitch, which is indeed a very good positive energy.
Xiao Qing only cares about the performance of his own team, and now Xiao Qing has also got a rare vacation because of this rotation; At this time, what made Xiao Qing happy was that his girlfriend Anna also came to London at this time, not that Xiao Qing was unwilling to go to Germany, but the current rotation rest is to make the players more hode to recover their physical fitness, if Xiao Qing runs to Germany, this time the rotation may not be more effective.
"Why do I feel like you're being so nice to me this time?" Anna strolled through the streets of London with Xiao Qing's arm, a very leisurely little couple who also enjoyed the reunion after a long absence.
"I've always been very good to you." Xiao Qing's expression was still very natural. He was now guilty, so he seemed more enthusiastic and considerate to Anna; It's not that Xiao Qing was cold or unconcerned about Anna before. It's just that Xiao Qing is particularly enthusiastic this time, which is why Anna feels a little different.
"I still think there's something wrong, you're acting really abnormally!" Anna stared at Xiao Qing's eyes and said very seriously, she would not doubt that Xiao Qing had no feelings for her now, but after all, it was difficult for the two of them to be together all the time, so Anna was also a little worried that time and distance had diluted the original affection between the two people.
"There could be something wrong with me, maybe it's because I haven't seen you for a long time, so this time I'll be more considerate." Xiao Qing avoided Anna's eyes a little unnaturally, Xiao Qing, who was weak-hearted, still couldn't get home, and he didn't have much confidence in his heart, so naturally he didn't have much confidence to look at Anna.
Anna pursed her lips, although her intuition told her that Xiao Qing was a little wrong, but to be honest, she really couldn't think of anything wrong, but Anna didn't think much about it, she came to London to enjoy the two of them with Xiao Qing, she didn't ask for trouble, maybe it was just her suspicion.
I have to admit that Xiao Qing was a little overwhelmed under the pressure brought by Anna, if Anna continued to insist, Xiao Qing didn't dare to guarantee whether she would show her flaws, but now everything looks very good, Anna didn't think much about it, and Xiao Qing can be regarded as relatively easy to get through the current difficulty.
Now it can only be said that whether Wenger or Wilshere's cheating incident was exposed, it gave Xiao Qing some pressure, of course he knew that once such an incident was exposed, it would definitely bring some trouble; Xiao Qing knew that sooner or later he would face the distress of such a thing, but Xiao Qing still hoped that this matter could come as late as possible. And now is the competition period, Xiao Qing doesn't want such a thing to affect his state, now Xiao Qing just hopes to help the team win the championship, he doesn't want to encounter more trouble at this time, he just wants to bring more wins to the team this season.
As for other things, although Xiao Qing doesn't know how to deal with it now so that everyone can accept it, but at the moment, Xiao Qing still has to get by, and for the time being, he still doesn't want to dwell too much on this matter.
Oxford Street is the preferred shopping street to London, England, with more than 300 large shopping malls in less than two kilometers on this street; Here, in addition to seeing famous brands and enjoying high-end services in long-established department stores, the architectural features of the stores are also a sight.
Xiao Qing never thought that shopping was torture, especially when she was accompanied by beauty; So although Anna pulled him shopping with great interest, Xiao Qing was also happy, and he enjoyed this kind of relaxation. Although Xiao Qing is basically sponsored by commercial sponsorship in terms of clothing and accessories, and Xiao Qing cannot wear many brand products in public, but take a look, of course, buy some clothes and jewelry for Anna, Xiao Qing still enjoys such fun.
A rare time to relax, which is very good for Xiao Qing; Arsenal will face a tough opponent in the league next up, first Aston Villa in the top seven of the table, and then Manchester United, one of their biggest rivals, in what will be a brutal game. And after that, Arsenal will soon start the Club World Cup, as the Champions League champions, Arsenal have to face the champions of other continents at this time. Although Arsenal have a good chance of winning their first title of the season, it is also a distraction from Arsenal; What's more, at that time, the Champions League group stage was also over, and Arsenal would soon start a more brutal knockout round.
So Xiao Qing enjoyed this rest very much, he needed to adjust his mentality and state, and he needed to prepare for the next more brutal game. It's something that Arsenal's players need to do because they have a lot of work to do in the next game because of the quality of their opponents coming up.
However, while Xiao Qing is enjoying his rest time, Arsenal are also more distressed now, because they are now starting to have to deal with more and more injuries, and they are facing their first problem of the season at this time.
Although Xiao Qing and Cesc Fabregas did not travel to Portugal with the team, Arsenal lost the first game of the season away in that game, and more importantly, Eboue suffered a knee ligament strain in the game and may miss four weeks; The frequent injuries of Xiaofa this season have made Arsene Wenger worry that the Spaniard may have been affected by the perennial overload of games and has become fragile, so after a regular scan check, the Spaniard's hamstring damage may need to be out for a while.
And striker Robin van Persie is undergoing treatment for an ankle injury, and although Van Persie is now able to play, he is more on the bench, and Van Persie's current form is far from his best. The original number one goalkeeper Almunia has returned to play in the reserves, but Arsene Wenger believes it is too early to play them in the first team.
So although Arsenal has gone through some rotational rests, this is also a last resort, because the intensive schedule makes the Gunners have no more rest time; Now Arsenal need to be more cautious about the next game, as their opponents are really likely to catch up when Arsenal are showing some shortcomings.
Although Xiao Qing is very glad that his physical fitness has always been very good, Xiao Qing has not encountered too many injuries since his career; Although Xiao Qing is very happy about his health, Xiao Qing does not dare to be careless, especially now the task of the game is getting heavier and heavier, especially the Champions League knockout round that is about to start, this will be a new huge challenge for Arsenal, the Gunners want to achieve more results in this season, then they really need to overcome some difficulties, it must be the injury problem that always revolves around Arsenal.
