083 Five wins in a row! Arsenal are at the top of the list!
……
When the Arsenal players celebrated passionately, the referee stood not far away, holding a yellow card in his hand, patiently waiting for them to celebrate, and then issued a yellow card to Zheng Yaxin.
During the entire celebration, only one person sat quietly on the bench, expressionless and out of place with other Arsenal players.
That man is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
He just sat back on the bench seat, his hands on his back, and looked at everything around him.
Seeing this scene, Coach Zhan immediately said casually: "The camera showed Aubameyang on the bench, he did not celebrate this reversal with his teammates, and the whole person was outside the Arsenal collective." ”
"According to British media reports: Aubameyang has become like this after being stripped of his captaincy, and as soon as he enters the stadium, there is no light in his eyes."
"When he plays, I can clearly feel that he is fighting spirits, and his face seems to be written all over him, he is a working machine with no emotion!"
"But when it's over training or a game, he's instantly rejuvenated and rejuvenated."
"This contrast is very similar to a migrant worker lying flat in the workplace, the person is still the same person, the face is still the same face, but the spirit of commuting to work is completely different!"
"Maybe Aubameyang feels that he only has one year left on his contract, and playing football is just exchanging time for money, and there is no meaning, so he is too lazy to participate in things that have nothing to do with him."
"In this case, I can only hope that he can find a good home in the winter window."
Inside the stadium.
While the Arsenal fans celebrated, they couldn't help but complain about Aubameyang.
"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was the team's big man last season, and he scored two goals in his limited playing time this season, so he was not bad, so why did it get like this?"
"Fortunately, we still have Zheng!"
"As long as Zheng is there, scoring goals is not a problem! I believe that Zheng will definitely lead Arsenal to win the Premier League title this season, for me, he is the strongest king in my mind, better than Mero at his peak! ”
After Arsenal scored, the game also entered the final stage.
Burnley, who lost their manager, had to accept the result of this defeat.
In the end, Arsenal relied on goals from Odegaard and Zheng Yaxin at the end of the second half to reverse Burnley 2-1 away.
Got five consecutive wins in the opening round.
Continue to occupy the top spot in the standings!
As soon as the match was over, Aubameyang received a call from his agent.
The agent told him that as long as Arsenal were willing to waive the transfer fee, Barcelona would bring him in the winter window.
Both parties have signed a pre-contract!
If he nods, he will become a member of La Liga giants Barcelona on January 1, 2022!
The annual salary is the same as during the Arsenal period, at £14 million!
The signing fee is 8 million euros!
Aubameyang certainly has no problem with that.
They are both continental giants, but the gap between Arsenal and Barcelona is still obvious.
Arsenal can only be regarded as a Premier League giant at best, while Barcelona is the world's top giant! Second only to Real Madrid!
Arsenal can't compare to Barcelona at all.
Transferring to Barcelona not only goes to a bigger stage and gains more exposure, but also makes it easier to get collective and individual honors.
Aubameyang wanted to leave in the summer window, but Barcelona and Arsenal could not agree on a transfer fee.
On the surface, the news revealed by the new president of Barcelona Laporta is that due to the La Liga Fairness Act, Barcelona has no salary space and cannot register new players, so the introduction of Aubameyang is suspended.
In fact, Arsenal wants a transfer fee of 15 million, and Barcelona has no money and just wants to prostitute for nothing!
Barcelona not only wants to prostitute for nothing, but also wants Arsenal to pay half of Aubameyang's salary in the first year after his transfer to Barcelona, which is 7 million pounds!
How could Arsenal possibly agree to such outrageous conditions?!
In the end, due to the big differences between the two sides, they could not reach a deal, and Aubameyang had to stay.
[Note: In December 2021, Aubameyang was stripped of the captain's armband and excluded from the squad for violating team discipline. 】
[In January 2022, Aubameyang was ordered to train alone. 】
[In February, Arsenal announced the termination of Aubameyang's contract. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang joined Barcelona on a free transfer fee of 0 fees, but his half-season salary at Barcelona (£7 million) was covered by Arsenal, and if Aubameyang moved again later, Arsenal did not take a share. 】
[At that time, Arsenal manager Arteta had a big conflict with Aubameyang, and the team wanted Aubameyang to leave as soon as possible, so as not to bring bad atmosphere in the dressing room. However, Aubameyang has a contract and is reluctant to leave, because his 33-year-old age is not easy to find a home, and in desperation, Arsenal agreed to continue to pay Aubameyang's remaining salary, and Aubameyang agreed to leave, but the only good thing is that Aubameyang's weekly salary is 80,000 pounds less than the original. 】
[Aubameyang performed well after joining Barcelona, taking Arsenal's salary and playing for Barcelona. After half a season, Barcelona changed hands and bought Aubameyang for 15 million euros to Chelsea. In the whole incident, Arsenal ended up being a big wrongdoer, and Barcelona took a big advantage. 】
After talking about the basic situation, the agent's voice changed: "Emeryk, this is the situation, you want to transfer to Barcelona, now this attitude is not enough, you must make some more unpleasant and spread some negative energy, so that Arsenal can release him for free." ”
“OK… I understand how to do it. ”
Aubameyang hung up the phone and walked to the post-match interview area.
Decided to put a little pressure on Arteta!
Speaking to a host of journalists, Aubameyang was blunt: "Even though we won this game, I'm not happy at all. ”
"Originally, the coach told me that there was no place for me in the new season, so I asked me to find my next home, but after I found my next home, they asked for a high transfer fee, so the transfer failed."
"I think I've been deceived!"
"In that case, then I will fulfill my contract with Arsenal!"
In addition to the words, Aubameyang revealed a meaning:
Don't stop me, I'm going to start messing around!
……
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's post-match interview to express his displeasure with Arsenal quickly reached Arteta's ears.
This made Arteta lead the team to five consecutive wins, and most of it disappeared at once, and he coped with a few words with a blushing face, and then left in a hurry.
Go back and figure out what to do with Aubameyang!
With the win, Arsenal won five in a row and reached 15 points to remain at the top of the table.
Liverpool and Manchester United have won four and drawn one, with 13 points, and are second and third in the table.
Brighton have four wins, one defeat and 12 points and are in fourth place.
That's right, after the first five rounds, the fourth place is occupied by the little-known underdogs Brighton!
Defending champions Manchester City have only won two, drawn one and lost two in the first five rounds, with seven points and are temporarily ninth in the standings.
Arsenal's sworn rival Tottenham, one of the big6 giants, has won two consecutive defeats after winning three consecutive games, losing 0-3 to two London teams Crystal Palace and Chelsea, and is currently ranked seventh with a record of 9 points.
Arsenal's next Premier League game kicks off seven days later, on 26 September.
The opponent is none other than Tottenham, the city's arch-rival!
However, Arsenal's next game will not be this one, but the third round of the Carabao Cup four days later.
According to the draw, Arsenal will play lower division side Wimbledon at home.
Tottenham will play Premier League giants Wolves at home.
Fast forward to the Carabao Cup on September 23.
Arsenal officially announced that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be excluded from the squad for violating team discipline and will be ordered to train alone.
When the pre-match press conference is held.
As soon as Arteta entered the venue, all the reporters asked him what he thought of the next round of opponents, Tottenham Hotspur boss Nuno three days after Arsenal's Premier League opponents.
There are no reporters at all who are paying attention to Arsenal's opponents in this game, Wimbledon.
Arsenal vs Wimbledon still need to watch? It must be a double-digit point difference!
Wimbledon is only a team in League Two, and there is a gap between League Two, League One, Championship and Premier League between Arsenal, which is three levels lower!!
Not an opponent at all!
So no one asked questions about Wimbledon at all.
"Mikel, what do you think about Nuno's Spurs spur position in jeopardy??"
"Heh... I know Tottenham haven't been in good shape lately, but I'm sure Coach Nuno will lead them out of the slump and there's no doubt that Tottenham have the DNA to win! They'll definitely get back on track. ”
'But I hope they get back on track after they've played against us [Arsenal].'
Mikel Arteta has a polite smile on his face and comments on Tottenham's opponents in the next round.
This season, the north London rivals are indeed not having a good time, the Portuguese Nuno suddenly collapsed after leading Tottenham to three consecutive wins, losing to Crystal Palace and Chelsea by a large score in succession, several important players in the team such as Kane and Son Xingmin have also expressed dissatisfaction with Nuno's on-the-spot tactics, and the outside world is waiting to see the excitement of Tottenham, Nuno has suffered the biggest crisis of confidence since taking charge of Tottenham.
You know, Nuno only took over this summer, and Tottenham chairman Levy spent a lot of money to poach him from Wolves.
After only five rounds of play, William Hill gave Nuno an exaggerated odds to get out of the class.
1.50 to 1!
It was almost certain that he would be out of class soon......
