Journalists frantically flocked to Birmingham and London to interview players from both sides.

Naturally, the Arsenal team has received more attention, after all, the Arsenal team is a traditional giant in the Premier League, and at the same time, their club also has the protagonist of this incident, Dongfang Chen, which naturally attracted the attention of more media reporters.

These media reporters, like the fans, are very much interested in wanting to know what Dongfang Chen thinks at this time and how he thinks about this game.

Of course, the Arsenal players and manager are only in this interview.

Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger naturally spoke to the media, in which he said: "It's an ordinary game, it's nothing special for me, we only have one purpose in this game, which is to win, to get the three points, and now the league is coming to an end, every game is very important for us, we have to win every game to ensure our league title." ”

The media reporters immediately asked: "However, Dongfang Chen will face his old club in this game, how do you think he will deal with this game?" ”

Arsène Wenger immediately said: "Please remember, Dongfang Chen is a professional player, his professional ethics can be absolutely guaranteed, he is naturally going all out in this game, I don't think he will have anything to care about?" ”

Arsène Wenger added: "It's not like we haven't played Birmingham this season and hasn't East shown his attitude in the first leg between us? I don't think this question will be a problem! ”

Arsène Wenger added: "Of course, East has had a glorious past with Birmingham and he has made history for Birmingham and brought great glory. I think the Birmingham fans will love Easter because Esther is a Birmingham legend anyway. ”

The media reporters were naturally very dissatisfied with Arsène Wenger's answer, and they wanted to ask, but Arsène Wenger did not give them a chance, and Arsène Wenger turned around and left.

The reporters had no choice but to shift their focus and start interviewing the Arsenal players.

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas spoke to the media, saying: "The quality of the Birmingham team is very good, their performance in the Carabao Cup is amazing, they reached the final and they are very strong. ”

Cesc Fabregas added: "Of course, Birmingham are not doing well in the league at the moment, but now they are getting better and better, at the beginning of the league they spent too much time grinding and they were very bad at that time, which affected his results throughout the season. However, it seems that their strength is still very good, and now they have formed a fighting force, so their results have been good recently. ”

Naturally, journalists would ask Fabregas questions about Dongfangchen, and they asked: "May I ask Mr. Fabregas, what do you think of Mr. Dongfangchen's return to Birmingham?" ”

Cesc Fabregas chuckled: "What can I think? It's just a normal game, and I don't think it means anything special. It was just an ordinary match for Easter, and all he had to do was try to win the match. ”

Comrade Cesc Fabregas added: "Of course going back to his old club to play against his old club is really a worrying thing for the player, but please believe in the professionalism of a professional player, I think East will not show mercy, there can only be one winner in this game, and that is our Arsenal team, because we need this one win." ”

Arsenal striker Robin van Persie also gave an interview to the media, and he said in an interview with the media: "Against Birmingham, we are very confident in this game, the strength of the Birmingham team is still not able to threaten our Arsenal team, we think this game is won by our Arsenal team." ”

Van Persie added: "The Birmingham side last season were very strong and they had a big impact on us. If Birmingham can maintain their squad from last season, they will be a formidable opponent for our Arsenal team. ”

Van Persie continued: "But unfortunately the Birmingham side did not keep their squad intact, their manager Alex McLeish went to Liverpool, and they also brought the main players to Liverpool, and East left Birmingham. ”

Van Persie said: "The current Birmingham team is not the Birmingham of last season, which has a big impact on their quality. The Birmingham team is not particularly strong at the moment, so we will naturally win this game. ”

Journalists also asked Van Persie about the relationship between Dongfang Chen and Birmingham, and Van Persie said: "There is nothing to say about it, I think East will definitely give it his all and win this game because he has already explained it in the first leg between our two sides. ”

Finally, Dongfang Chen, the player that media reporters are most concerned about, was interviewed by media reporters.

Dongfang Chen said to the reporters: "This is just an ordinary game, since it is a game, we have only one purpose, and that is to win the game." ”

In response to questions from reporters about the Birmingham team, Dongfang Chen said: "The Birmingham team is a very special team, he has a very special position for me, he is the most successful team in my mind. ”

Dongfang Chen did not hide it, he said: "I am very grateful to the Birmingham team, he has a very important place in my heart, I love this team very much. But, I'm a player, a professional, I have my work ethic and cultivation and I know what I have to do on the pitch! ”

When the media reporters heard Dongfangchen say this, they immediately asked: "May I ask Mr. Dongfangchen, since you value Birmingham Club so much, why did you choose to leave Birmingham in the first place?" ”

For this question, many media reporters asked this question when Dongfang Chen left the Birmingham team.

Dongfang Chen said: "I said this question when I left the Birmingham team, I left the Birmingham team because I wanted to face more challenges, we can't stay in one place all the time, I need more challenges to improve myself. ”

Dongfang Chen did not say the real reason why he left the Birmingham team, in fact, it was Yang Jiacheng, the chairman of the Birmingham team, who wanted him to leave, but Dongfang Chen did not say it. He didn't say it at the beginning, and he naturally won't say it now.

The media reporter immediately asked: "So if you say that, you will also leave the Arsenal team in the future, after all, you have to accept more challenges!" ”

Dongfang Chen's face changed slightly, these damn media reporters are really bad guys, Dongfang Chen continued: "I can't say this thing well, who will know what will happen in the future?" Since it's a matter of the future, let the future answer! ”

After answering this question, Dongfang Chen didn't give the media reporters another chance, he turned around and left directly, leaving his back to these media reporters.

The media reporters were clearly unhappy with the nonsense, the Arsenal side did not live up to their expectations, and now they have to pin their hopes on the Birmingham side of the team.

Speaking to the media, Birmingham City manager Roy Hodgson said: "Arsenal are a very strong team, they are the top team in the league at the moment, there is a big gap between us and them, I admit that. ”

Hodgson continued: "But that's not to say we don't have any chances! I think we still have a chance to win the game because it's our home stadium and we're well prepared and I think we still have a chance to get points in this game. ”

Hodgson continued: "We've prepared well for this game and this is our home stadium and we're confident we can beat them and get the three points. ”

Hodgson added: "We're getting better and better at Birmingham City, we've been doing really well lately and it's time for us to chase the points. We've pulled out of the relegation zone now and I'm confident we'll take Birmingham City further up the pitch and we're not going to be relegated this season. ”

Yes, Birmingham have been on good form lately, having come out of the relegation zone and are now fourth from bottom in the Premier League, one point ahead of third-from-bottom West Ham United. Although they are still very close to the relegation zone, they are out of the relegation zone after all.

It also gave hope to the players of Roy Hodgson and Birmingham, who were convinced that they would not be relegated this season, and now their hearts are full of fighting spirit and hope.

Hodgson said: "It's a very crucial time for us in Birmingham and we don't want to lose at this time, so we're going to go toe-to-toe with Arsenal and try to get the three points so we'll have more confidence going into the next games. ”

The media reporters also asked about Dongfang Chen, Hodgson said: "Actually, I don't know much about Dongfang Chen, but his strength is very powerful, and I also know that he is a former player of our club, but I don't think this has any relationship and impact on this game." ”

Hodgson also said: "I think Dongfang Chen should be the professionalism of a professional player in the club, and this game is just an ordinary game for him, so I don't think this should be taken seriously!" ”

Hodgson's answer naturally displeased the media reporters, and they could see that both sides were downplaying the issue. It seems that neither side wants their media reporters and fans to focus on this aspect, but on the upcoming game.

Naturally, the media reporters won't let them go, and they're going to keep interviewing the players in the Birmingham City squad in the hope of getting what they want.
