Chapter 234: Very angry Arsène

Fulham's head coach Mark Hughes also spoke to the media ahead of the game.

It was also this season that Mark Hughes took on the Fulham team, who last season were managed by Birmingham City's current head coach Roy Hodgson.

Hodgson's success in leading Fulham was very good, and even the season before he left Fulham, he also led the team to the final of the UEFA Europa League, but unfortunately, they were beaten by Atletico Madrid in the final minute and thus missed out on the title.

After the end of this season, Hodgson, who has led the team to a very good record, has entered the attention of many teams, such as the Red Army, Liverpool, and Birmingham.

The Reds Liverpool were looking to bring in Hodgson, but they chose Alex McLeish, who led the team to a phenomenal record last season, and dropped Hodgson.

Hodgson, on the other hand, went to the Birmingham team, which lost Alex McLeish, and took over the Birmingham team. At this time, Mark Hughes accepted the Fulham team.

Mark Hughes is a well-known coach because he has had a brilliant career.

Mark Hughes was born in Wales and is a Welsh man. At the age of fifteen, he showed a phenomenal talent that caught the eye of Manchester United, and eventually Mark Hughes came to Manchester United.

During his time at Manchester United, Mark Hughes was very good and became a well-known star.

Immediately after his playing career, he began his coaching career, which started from a very high starting point as the head coach of the Welsh national team.

Although the Welsh national team was a second- or third-rate team in Europe at that time, it was a remarkable achievement for a player who had just retired to be a manager at national team level.

During his four years in charge of the Welsh national team, Mark Hughes built the Welsh national team into a strong team, and even went so far as to reach the final of Euro 2004 under his tutelage.

Mark Hughes showed his quality in Wales and returned to England after his spell in charge of the Welsh national team, where he managed Blackburn Rovers, who managed them to relegation in their first season and led them to the last four of the FA Cup for the first time in more than 40 years. In his second season in charge of Blackburn Rovers, Hughes had a record-winning season, including league victories over Arsenal and Manchester United twice, giving the club the chance to compete in the UEFA Cup next season.

Mark Hughes' success at Blackburn Rovers brought him to the attention of Manchester City, who were recruited for £5 million in 2008 and accepted the club.

It was only after taking over Manchester City that Mark Hughes ran into a big problem in his coaching career. Last season, Mark Hughes was sacked by Manchester City after spending more than £200 million on the transfer market without much success.

After half a season at home, he received offers from many teams, and after many comparisons, Mark Hughes chose the Fulham team.

So far this season, Mark Hughes has led Fulham to good results.

At this time, Mark Hughes ushered in the final game of his first season in charge of Fulham, and Mark Hughes naturally wanted to end with a victory.

Speaking to the media, he said: "For this game, we also have a goal for the next one, which is to try our best to win, and we want to use this victory to thank the fans for their support of the Fulham team. ”

Mark Hughes also said: "Dongfang Chen's strength is indeed very strong, his attacking power is not underestimated by any team in the Premier League, and he will definitely cause very big problems for our Fulham team. But we have a special set-up and I think it's going to be difficult for him to score goals in this game. ”

Mark Hughes is now very confident that his team can keep Dongfang Chen at bay.

Fulham's central defender Hangeran also came forward to give an interview to the media, he said: "Dongfangchen's strength is very strong, but our defensive ability is not bad, we think we are still capable of defending him. ”

Hangelan is a tall guy, with excellent headers and excellent air defense. And this guy is tall and flexible. Of course, this guy looks a little thin, but his body is still okay.

So, Hangeland is a good centre-back, and it is said that several teams in the Premier League want to bring him in, such as Liverpool, Arsenal and Birmingham.

Hangeland also said: "Dongfangchen's strength is indeed very good, but his teammates around him have no intention of playing now, so we are very confident that we can defend him, and he will not have a chance to score in this game." ”

Although this game is not much taken seriously in the final game of the Premier League, the players and managers of both sides attach great importance to it. And there's also a lot of media attention from reporters who want to see if Dongfang Chen can really catch up with Alan Shearer, who has scored 30 goals in two consecutive seasons.

Arsenal are away from home and will travel to Fulham's home stadium, Craven Cottage.

Located on the banks of the River Thames in the Hammersmith-Fulham district of London, England, Craven Farm has been Fulham's home stadium since 1896. At the end of the 2001-2002 season, Fulham budgeted to dismantle Craven Farm and rebuild the stadium, and the team was temporarily relocated to Loftus Road. But it was eventually forced to give up due to public opposition.

In December 2003, the club unveiled an £8 million plan to rehabilitate Craven Cottage to bring it into line with Premier League rules, reportedly financed mainly by the proceeds from the sale of Saha to Manchester United.

Construction commenced in January 2004, just in time for the opening of the 2004-2005 season. The revamped Craven Cottage is a 22,000-seat stadium, with the first game being a pre-season warm-up game against Watford on 10 July. Craven Cottage has since undergone minor renovations every summer to increase its capacity, and now has a capacity of 25,700 people, but remains the fourth smallest stadium in the Premier League.

The whole Arsenal team came to the away game, but this time there are not many Arsenal fans who followed the Arsenal team to the away side, and it seems that many Arsenal fans are not very interested in this game. It was only a few die-hard fans who came to watch the game away from home.

Not to mention the Arsenal fans, even the Fulham fans at home did not come to watch the game, the stadium that can only accommodate 25,000 people was not full, and even looked a little empty in some places.

However, there are a lot of media reporters coming now, and it is clear that media reporters are more concerned about this game than these fans. In fact, they are more concerned about whether Dongfang Chen can equal Alan Shearer's record, and they don't care at all about who wins in the end.

The Arsenal players saw that there were not too many fans coming to watch this game, and their interest was actually not very high, and their minds were a little drifting, and they were not in this game.

Dongfang Chen attaches more importance to this game, he must score in this game, just like he said to media reporters before the game, in this game, he will definitely score.

Arsène Wenger fielded his full squad in this game, which showed his determination to win the first half.

Szczesny is in the goalkeeper's position and Sagna, Vermaelen, Gallas and Klich in the back four. In the midfield four are Theo Walcott, Cesc Fabregas, Alexander Song and Rosicky. In the two-striker position are Van Persie and Dongfangchen.

On Mark Hughes's side, they also lined up the main lineup, and the goalkeeper position was Australian international Schwarzer. In the back four are Hughes, Senderos, Hangaland and Briggs.

Senderos left Birmingham City during the winter break this season, and he was denied a chance in the Birmingham team, so he was pressed to the bench and did not play for a long time. Birmingham head coach Roy Hodgson also didn't like Senderos and he was eventually sent away to join Fulham.

However, after coming to the Fulham team, he played the game and sat firmly in the team's main force, and the combination of him and Hangeland was very good, which made Mark Hughes more satisfied.

Of course, it was clear that Senderos would not be able to return to his peak form, with injuries and mental health hindering his development.

In the midfield four are Grining, Murphy, Sidwell and Dempsey, while in the front two are Andy Johnson and Zamora.

In this game, both sides are lined up with an all-main lineup, and their intention is really as they said before the game, they attach great importance to this game, and they will try their best to win this game.

The first to kick off was the away Arsenal team, who launched a ferocious attack as soon as they came up. But the Arsenal players are indeed a little absent-minded, their minds have already drifted and they are not in this game.

This made Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger very angry, and Arsène Wenger shouted loudly from the sidelines, reminding the Arsenal players that he was very unhappy with the appearance of the Arsenal players.

On the other hand, the Fulham players are better, their desire to survive is stronger, they play with passion at home, and they are crazy to impact the Arsenal team, which makes the Fulham fans at the scene very satisfied, they are very excited.

The attacking attack of Fulham's players did cause a lot of trouble for the Arsenal players, and even threatened the Arsenal goal, making the Arsenal players a little tired.

This made Arsène Wenger even more dissatisfied. The most unacceptable thing for Arsène Wenger was that in the 23rd minute of the first half, Fulham scored first.

It was a casual strike from Fulham, who had a long-range shot from the edge of the box, and their striker Andy Johnson found the Arsenal goal with a seemingly casual shot that gave the home side a one-goal lead over Arsenal.

This upset Arsène Wenger, who immediately went on the sidelines to criticize and blame the Arsenal players on the pitch, and it was clear that he could not accept the result.
