In fact, not only the English media, but also the media of the whole Europe, and even the whole world are frantically reporting on Ye Luo's crazy performance in the Premier League!

in Spain.

Marca even made Arsenal's 5-1 win away at Manchester City on the front page!

You must know that as a media in Madrid, the front page of the football page of Marca newspaper is generally only enjoyed by Real Madrid.

Of course.

Marca's front page of the game is also related to Yelo.

In the article, [Marca] said that at the beginning of the season, if Real Madrid were willing to slightly increase their salary offer for Yelo, maybe Yelo would still be in La Liga now.

But Florentino also had something to say.

For Real Madrid, they don't need to match City's offer exactly, but even so, Florentino is reluctant to offer Yelo too much salary.

Because Real Madrid is not like Manchester City, they have a bunch of superstars in their squad!

Ye Luo's salary is high, should the salaries of other stars rise?

If it rises together, then Real Madrid will not be able to support such a huge salary expenditure even if it has money.

But what if it doesn't? Then the locker room is about to explode.

So the complaint of the Marca newspaper is only standing and talking without back pain.

Or why did Florentino angrily accuse Manchester City of destroying the market environment in the interview?

That's the reason.

In Real Madrid's training base, the atmosphere was not very good for the past two days.

Because Cristiano. Ronaldo's face has been flat for the past two days.

Of course, everyone knows why.

Yelo's guy has scored 10 goals in five Premier League games.

And now that La Liga has played six rounds, Ronaldo has only scored eight.

That's less than Yelo's goals in the Premier League – the competitiveness of the two leagues is completely different.

Before that, when Yelo chose to join Arsenal, many players in the Real Madrid team regretted that such a player who had reached the top of his life was about to start to decline.

This is not surprising, because there is no shortage of geniuses in history who were born out of thin air and then fell quickly, although Ye Luo's sideways birth is more terrifying, but it is not surprising that he fell.

But right now, the performance in the Premier League is too amazing.

So much so that the Marca newspaper is reporting on touting Yelo.

And it is not surprising that Ronaldo, who has always regarded Messi as his rival, is now unhappy in the face of a new rising opponent, and even his training efforts have reached a higher level.

Jose Mourinho is happy to see Ronaldo's efforts, but that's not what he's been worried about lately.

His relationship with the Real Madrid dressing room has begun to crack a bit

In Barcelona.

FC Barcelona players have also noticed that Messi has been a lot more active in training.

Everyone knows what is going on.

After losing to Ye Luo in the UEFA Best Player award, many media also made a sure prediction that this year's Ballon d'Or is likely to be Ye Luo's.

Who would have thought.

The player who ended Messi's Ballon d'Or trifecta was not Ronaldo, but Ye Luo.

This fierce competition forces both Messi and Ronaldo to perform at their best.

It's just that now even the teammates who have the most confidence in them are actually muttering in their hearts.

Compete with that monster

Can there really be a chance of winning?

A big win over Manchester City was a good thing for Arsenal, but then the team faced injury problems in midfield.

Diaby has a knee injury and will be out for at least a month.

Arteta had a bit of a tightness in his calf muscles after the game and needed to be out for two weeks.

In this way, the players that Arsenal can send are younger.

After the end of the fifth round of the league.

On 27 September, Arsenal faced a Carabao Cup match against Coventry City from the English First Division.

It's not the same as La Liga.

There are two domestic competitions in England, namely the FA Cup and the League Cup.

As the oldest football competition in the world, the FA Cup has a long history of existence, and can be played from the Premier League to the ninth level of amateur leagues.

The League Cup is an event launched by the English Professional League to compete with the English FA, and it is a team that participates in the four professional leagues of the Premier League, the English Championship, League One and League Two.

Although the winner of the League Cup can also qualify for the Europa League.

But in terms of general agreement, I still think the FA Cup is more important than the League Cup on the English side.

With Norwich City away to Norwich two days after the game, Arsenal have fully fielded a squad of substitutes plus some youth team players.

However, due to the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, after all, there is still a Championship between the Premier League and League One.

Arsenal beat Coventry City 5-1 to advance to the next round of the Carabao Cup.

And after this game.

The team went to Norwich City Carlo Road, and the Magpies at home were quite tenacious.

They directly put on a 541 formation, leaving a fast striker in front of them to counterattack.

And in the eighteenth minute of the game, Norwich took advantage of the corner kick opportunity to complete the goal through a corner kick created by a counterattack.

Norwich, who were the first to take the lead, were even more encouraged by their airtight defence that caused Arsenal plenty of problems.

In the second half, Yelo also assisted Koscielny to score through a free-kick in front of the goal to equalize.

It wasn't until the 87th minute of the game that Yelo helped the team overtake with a long-range shot and took away three points.

The game didn't get enough attention from Arsenal – in fact, Arsenal's 5-1 win over Manchester City had a profound impact, with almost all teams tacitly acquiescing to one thing: Arsenal are now back at the top of the league.

That's why Arsenal are facing this level of defense away from home!

Then came the second leg of the Champions League group stage, Arsenal at home defeated Olympiacos with a score of 3-1 to win two consecutive Champions League group stage games, Yelo also scored two goals in this game, scored three goals in two rounds of group stage, one behind Ronaldo in the scorer list, and tied for second with Messi.

On October 7, in the eighth round of the league, Arsenal drew 1-1 with West Ham United away, and the goal conceded at the last moment made Professor Wenger very angry.

This was followed by the international break in October, followed by a regrouping squad two weeks later.

Arsene Wenger is concerned by injury problems for midfielders Mikel Arteta and Diaby.

Mikel Arteta picked up an injury in training and Diaby has been lying down since the game against Manchester City, not knowing when he will be back from injury.

Besides.

Rosicky and Arshavin are two veterans who have been sick for the team since the start of the season.

I can't count on it at all.

Mikel Arteta is arguably the most experienced player in Arsenal's midfield.

Now his injury has had a big impact on Arsenal.

The first game after the international break was a home game against Queens Park Rangers in the ninth round of the league, in which Arsenal conceded two goals at home, but thanks to a goal and two assists from Yelo, the team won the game 3-2 and maintained their unbeaten record in the league.

It is the team to go to Schalke Stadium to challenge Schalke 04 in the third round of the Champions League group stage.

The match ended in a draw.

The two sides played a 1-1 draw at the Schalke Stadium.

In the Champions League, they won two and drew one.

So despite failing to bring home a win in Germany, the English media are still touting Arsenal's performance – after all, a trip to Germany is never a pleasant experience for an English team.

It's nice to be able to get out of it all the way.

What's more, Arsenal is indeed worth touting.

In terms of overall results.

So far this season, Arsenal have played a total of 13 games, with 11 wins and two draws unbeaten.

This achievement is quite explosive.

But after leading the team back from Germany, Wenger's brows always frowned involuntarily when he stood on the sidelines of the training ground.

He sees some concerns in the team.

Mainly in two ways.

First: the absence of an experienced player like Mikel Arteta has made the overall age of the squad even younger.

The problem with the inexperienced Arsenal during this period is that the control of the midfield and the control of the tempo of the game have dropped significantly.

Starting with a 5-1 victory over Manchester City, the team ended the winning streak and drew with West Ham United and Schalke 04, and in these games, there were goals conceded in every game!

This is a direct testament to the team's lack of tempo control.

Second: With the media enthusiasm for Arsenal, this enthusiasm is not a good thing for Wenger, because with Arsenal becoming the favourites to win the title, more and more teams are now looking at Arsenal as a key research target.

was stared at with a magnifying glass, and even many teams had the mentality of "you can earn a point" when facing Arsenal.

As a result, Arsenal will face more difficult matches in the game!

For example, in the game against Norwich, the opponent directly put forward five defenders and four defensive midfielders.

This kind of scene will definitely happen to Arsenal often in the future.

This is the difference between a championship team and a normal team.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

At a time when Arsenal were not considered to have the quality to compete for the league title, all teams were still taking Arsenal as normal.

But when Arsenal thrashed Manchester City 5-1, no one doubted Arsenal's quality.

At this time.

The pressure on Arsenal is completely different from before.

However, in Arsene Wenger's view, there are many aspects of the team that are not very mature, as can be seen from the problems exposed by Arteta's injury: the team is too young.

Ye Luo is very powerful.

But he's a striker and what the team lacks is control of the tempo of the game.

Cazorla may be able to do that, but he needs to settle into the team and it will take time.

And before that, maybe Arsenal will have to pay some price for it.

The goals conceded in these games have already made Wenger a little wary.

He took a deep breath and then began to turn his attention to the next game, which was going to be played one game at a time, no matter what.

The team's next match against Tottenham Hotspur is Tottenham Hotspur.

Everyone knows how important this game is for Arsenal.

It's a north London derby, one of the hottest derbies in England.

England has a lot of feuds between teams.

A double red meeting between Manchester United and Liverpool.

War between Chelsea and Fulham.

Rose derby between Manchester United and Leeds United.

Wait a minute.

The north London derby, the level of confrontation between the two teams and the hot scene of the game, are no less than the double red between Manchester United and Liverpool.

For Tottenham Hotspur manager Villas-Boas.

He's been under a lot of pressure lately.

Since being sacked by Chelsea and taking over Tottenham this season, Tottenham have played nine games in the Premier League, losing three, drawing three and winning three.

Three wins, three draws and three defeats, including a defeat to Newcastle United in the first round of the league, a 3-2 defeat at Manchester United in the fifth round of the league and a 3-5 defeat at Chelsea in the seventh round of the league.

To be honest, it was not a surprise to lose to Manchester United and Chelsea with Tottenham's squad, the point is that the last few games have been drawn, and Tottenham have not won six games in a row.

Of course, those six games include three league games, two Europa League group stage games and one Carabao Cup match.

In terms of league situation, Tottenham Hotspur, with 12 points, is seventh in the league and not far from the top six.

The Europa League has drawn three times in a row, but two of those have come on the road.

So it's a relatively small problem.

Boas still has room to adjust.

But the media environment in England is not very good.

Almost all the media are now questioning Tottenham's correctness in putting Villas-Boas, the 'underdog' at Chelsea, in charge.

Inside Tottenham's training ground.

It was late at night, and Boas was still working.

As an unlucky man who can coach a top team in the top flight in his thirties, Boas is undoubtedly a workaholic.

He was Jose Mourinho's assistant coach and after Mourinho's departure, Villas-Boas took over the team and eventually led Porto to Europa League glory.

It was precisely because of the title of "Mourinho's successor" that he was favored by Abou and got the opportunity to coach Chelsea.

However, the young Villas-Boas clearly failed to convince Chelsea's big names in the same way as Jose Mourinho – perhaps because of the success of the current Chelsea players.

At this moment.

Boas's office is brightly lit.

On the big screen in the office, a specially edited video of Arsenal's goal conceded this season is being played.

"They're not solid defensively, are they?"

Boas said suddenly.

Assistant Coach Tim. Sherwood nodded and said: "They are too young, without Arteta and Diaby, they are inexperienced in the tempo of midfield. ”

Tim. Sherwood is not a direct descendant of Villas-Boas, but a bridge between Tottenham's board and management and the team's coaching staff.

He became an assistant coach at Tottenham in 2008 and has assisted a number of Tottenham managers.

And it was certainly not a straw bale.

As a player, Sherwood lifted the Premier League trophy as Blackburn's captain.

At least on championship honors.

In Tottenham, only Villas-Boas, who has won the Portuguese Super League and the Europa League, can now compare with him.

And to be able to work happily with previous head coaches, Sherwood's emotional intelligence is still very high.

A paranoid man like Villas-Boas is comfortable working with the "chancellor" and is now his main assistant at Tottenham.

"So what we need is to fight back!" Villas-Boas pressed the remote control to bring up the video footage of Arsenal's game against Norwich.

"It's a good game."

"But Norwich lost."

"That's right! But they only allowed Ye to score one goal. Boas held out a finger, "And it's a lore near the end of the game!" Tim, they almost made it! ”

Boas looked back at the screen.

"They're just Norwich."

Sherwood nodded.

And this game is a derby battle.

He thought.

Of course, in terms of the squad, it seems that Arsenal are a head above Tottenham.

But the game was played at White Hart Lane, and it was a derby, and in a general sense, all the experience and reasoning cannot be applied in the derby.

Derby.

There is no truth or experience to speak of.

When Manchester City was still a Premier League lifter, they often taught the Premier League hegemon Manchester United in the Manchester derby.
