Chapter 255: New season, headaches for Premier League managers

In the third round of the Premier League season, Arsenal hosted their north London derby rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, at their home stadium at the Emirates Stadium.

Li Zihan did not play in this game, and the opponent's star Welsh winger Gareth Bale did not play. In the end, thanks to a precious goal from Ramsey, Arsenal won the first leg of the new season in the north London derby with a score of 1-0.

The media did not hesitate to criticize the game, whether it was Arsenal or Tottenham.

The criticism of Arsenal is, of course, their "inaction", and the team advertised 70 million in a transfer period and only now seen 20 million come out. Many people think that Wenger is talking big again, and this is not the first time he has claimed to have 70 million transfer funds.

And the attack on Li Zihan also reached a high level expected by Li Zihan and Wenger at this time. tide, Li Zihan didn't even enter the squad in this game, of course, which attracted the attention of the media.

While saying that Li Zihan is a "parallel import", the media "uncle" also claimed that Arsenal had begun to give up Li Zihan. In the transfer market, there are countless cases of "trees dying, people dying", and of course, there are countless cases of people moving and dying.

Players who were originally unsatisfactory in the original team may be able to change the environment and change the team. And the players who were originally doing well immediately withered when they moved to another team. Obviously, in the propaganda of the media, Li Zihan has become the latter.

Even Sky Sports is lamenting that a rising star is falling.

Of course, Wenger couldn't let them talk nonsense, Wenger answered the question of Li Zihan not being in the squad at the post-match press conference: "Lee is not in the squad? Of course, this is my tactical arrangement, and it is not what you guys say. Lee is now in special training, and we will be working on his jishu. Let him adapt to the English league at the same time, but also practice his jishu to mature. We're going to get him used to a new position, so it's going to take time, and I've already talked to Lee about that. He also agreed to our arrangement, so we are optimistic about him? Abandon him? Unless I have a bad brain, how can I give up such a talented young player. You know, we're Arsenal and we don't have a tradition of turning a talented young player into a no-do player. Our tradition is to get the talent out of it, to activate their talent and make the best players even better. ”

"Reinforcements? Of course we're going to bring in reinforcements, knowing that the transfer window isn't over yet. Yes, we'll definitely bring in reinforcements. We have 70 million, sorry, forgot to spend 20 million. We still have 50 million dollars to spend and we will use that money to bring in players who can help the team. ”

Arsene Wenger's sneer did not make the reporters laugh, and the reporters sneered

'Hmph, there are still five hours left before August 30th, reinforcements? Could it be that you Arsenal want to bring in reinforcements in the winter? Do you still have 50 million? Whoever believes in it is stupid to have the second alphabet in order! Journalists who thought this way accounted for almost 99.9 percent of the total number of reporters in the audience

"Of course, the best players are already in our squad. We still need reinforcements, but there's no denying that we have a strong squad. Arsene Wenger couldn't stop talking.

Instantly the reporters were in an uproar, the strongest player is already at Arsenal? Is it Wilshere or Walcott? Is it Podolski or Giroud? Is it the newcomer Li Zihan or Ramsey and Cazorla?

Arsene Wenger's words were instantly pushed high at the end of the post-match press conference. Tide.

Everyone teased Arsenal, and Chinese fans summed up Arsene Wenger's words in a Chinese phrase: "The strongest man is in the team".

Then Arsenal led the way with a new word for the formation - "the most formed!!" ”

No one expected this, but it has to be said that Wenger also used this sentence to divert the attention of many reporters and fans.

Of course, in this game, Arsenal not only won a victory, but also gained the support of real Arsenal fans. Before kick-off, in the stands of Arsenal's die-hard fans, fans spontaneously pulled up a five-metre-long handwritten banner "InAesenewetrust! ”

Uncle Zhan Jun, who saw this scene, shouted at the time: "Arsenal fans once again played their classic slogan: 'We believe in Arsene Wenger!'" This is the moment to test the Arsenal fans. Did you like Arsenal because you liked the championship he bringed? Or do you like their top stars? I don't think so, yes, Arsenal's best finish is no joke. As long as Arsene Wenger is still at Arsenal, then there is still hope for Arsenal, so the time has come to test the loyalty of Arsenal fans to the team! ”

It's just that this makes many domestic Liverpool fans very unhappy, because Zhan Jun, who is a Liverpool fan, actually helps Arsenal speak

However, after 90 minutes, the referee blew the end of the game. The Arsenal fans who saw the team win again unfurled a banner that was also handwritten: "There is still one day, I hope there is more exciting news than the victory!" ”

As for what the news is, it goes without saying, and fans are hoping that the club can bring in high-quality stars before the transfer window closes.

What they are looking forward to is the news of the big names joining Arsenal

Of course, the media did not make Tottenham feel better, and Tottenham, who spent 1200 million pounds on reinforcements this summer, did not win Arsenal in last season's squad. The whole game was almost Arsenal's tempo, with Tottenham's shots improving the ball frequently.

So all kinds of sarcasm and criticism are also overwhelmingly flying to Tottenham, and their manager and young coach Boas bear the brunt!

Tottenham Hotspur defeated promoted Crystal Palace 1-0 in the first round, Swansea City 1-0 in the second round, and this round is also 1-0 except that zero is theirs, one is Arsenal's.

In this way, Tottenham Hotspur, which spent close to 100 million euros on the offensive line, only scored two goals in three rounds

Isn't that ironic? Soldado, Lamela, Eriksen, Paulinho and Adebayor actually improved the ball in the central front.

On the other hand, Manchester City, another Premier League upstart who also spent a lot of money on reinforcements this summer, defeated the Premier League's old powerhouse Newcastle United with a score of 4-0 at home in the first round

Even Manchester City don't spend as much money as Tottenham, scoring more goals in one game than they have scored in three games. One can imagine how sad Boas's life must be.

In this round of Premier League matches, there is no happiest person than media reporters. Because they have endless subjects to write, except for Li Zihan, Arsene Wenger, Arsenal and the sad Tottenham. There is also a key battle in this round, with Liverpool hosting their arch-rivals Manchester United at Anfield.

That's right, this is the Premier League's most famous veteran battle - "Double Red Club!" ”

The end result was thanks to a goal from youngster Sturridge as Liverpool defended their Anfield glory 1-0 at home.

The score may be average, but the process is what the reporters are concerned about. Manchester United was pressed by Liverpool throughout the game, and Manchester United's players looked embarrassed on the pitch, not at all like the giants of the defending champions.

Wayne Rooney was dropped from the front to the midfielder by David Moyes, who was tasked with dropping back more often.

It's not the way Rooney likes it, the way Rooney likes it is to be a little closer to goal.

So after this game, the media did not say less bad things about Moyes. The media always like to be lively, even if there is no excitement, they have to create excitement to make up.

Immediately, there were media reports that Manchester United's generals were not compatible, and Rooney left the "Theater of Dreams" and entered the countdown. Then, immediately after that, Chelsea, who lacked a striker, immediately gave Wayne Rooney a wink. Rooney also voluntarily rejected Manchester United's proposal to renew his contract, and the contract renewal negotiations between Manchester United's attacking core and the team reached an impasse.

Everything seems to be going in a bad direction for Manchester United, and at this time the successor named by veteran manager Alex Ferguson himself is being questioned.

It's not that the team lost, it's that the tactics he brought to the team didn't bring anything to the team at all. The only thing that may be brought is that there is no big club, and it plays like a mid-table team.

Some say that it took Ferguson nearly three decades to single-handedly lead Manchester United to the top European giants. And David Moyes ruined the club in just three games

Ferguson certainly doesn't like the media and fans blaming him for a team that has been working hard for 27 years, and Manchester United are like his children. So the old man who cares for the calf stands up to support Moyes and Manchester United, in his opinion, the pressure from the outside world or something, let's go to Wenger.

He appealed to fans to give the new manager some time: "David Moyes is a great manager and you all gave me that much time, are you not as patient as you used to be? The new bishop needs your support"

The old man's appeal can only stabilize the fans, but not the media. Immediately there were media reports that the Treble of selling center forward Gomez this summer, Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich want to bring in Wayne Rooney. The new head coach Pep Guardiola is very fond of Chubby Dun

In the past six months, Moyes has been much haggard. His life is much more difficult than that of Arsene Wenger, who has also come under a lot of pressure from the outside world. But who is Arsene Wenger, who has long been coaching the giants and has developed a good "ability to reduce pressure". And he hasn't been able to knock him down for eight years without a crown, not to mention this little wind and waves.

Besides, Wenger is not having a good time in the eyes of the outside world, but he himself is not worried at all, because his jihua has already started, and everything is only a matter of time

So the only ones who are really under pressure are Tottenham Hotspur manager Villas-Boas and Manchester United successor David Moyes, oh and the poor black cat Sunderland manager Di Canio, because he has only one point from two losses and one draw in three league games, and is currently ranked as vice-president
