'Of course I have a lot of thanks, I want to thank the club of Málaga, I want to thank my coach, thank you, Mr. Pellegrini, but also my team-mates last season, this award is not only mine, it is an honour that we have achieved together.

Ye Luo clenched his fists and hammered his chest and said.

The scene also fell silent.

People saw the light flickering in the corner of Ye Luo's eyes.

Originally.

This guy isn't just a hedgehog either.

He also has a warm side.

At this moment, the flashing brilliance of human nature made many people restrain their smiles and begin to applaud seriously.

In the midst of applause.

Yelo stepped down from the podium.

The rest of the matter has nothing to do with him.

After the award ceremony, Yelo returned to London.

However, there are 10 days of international break in December.

So Ye Luo didn't have anything to do in the past ten days, just sweating on the training ground with the first-team players of Arsenal who were not selected for the national team, as well as the players who were transferred from the academy to train together.

And these ten days of national team matches.

It is very important for the Dragon Nation national team.

In November last year, the national team faced Iraq back-to-back in the 2012 World Cup qualifiers in the Asian round of 40, and the result was defeated 1-0 home and away.

As a result, the Dragon National Team has no hope of entering the top 12 of the World Preliminaries.

So, in a period of up to a year

The Dragons national team has no official matches to play.

So this year.

The national teams are all playing warm-up games.

Originally, after the World Preliminary Tournament was out, the fans at that time called for Ye Luo to enter the national team with a high voice.

Why is it so much quieter this year?

Because the national team's warm-up results are so good!

From January 22, 2012.

The national team defeated Saudi Arabia 2-0 at the Changsha Helong Stadium, Jordan 4-1 at the Tianhe Stadium in Guangzhou, and drew 1-1 with world champions Spain in Sevilla – a game that caused a sensation in domestic fan circles at the time.

Even many people from the new faction took the opportunity to lead the rhythm: We have all tied the world champion, and we still need Ye Luo?

The next warm-up game.

The results of the Dragon Country national team are also quack.

Beat Vietnam 5-0, beat Ghana 1-0, draw Sweden 0-0, lose 0-2 to Brazil, beat New Zealand 2-1 and beat Oman 1-0.

Except for the loss to Brazil, draws with Sweden and Spain, the other six games have been won.

This whole year.

The Dragons national team has played nine games, losing one and drawing two.

Although it is said that it is all a warm-up race, but this result is here, what more bikes do fans want?

So now the domestic call for Ye Luo to enter the national team is much smaller.

There are even some analyses that understand the football emperor's affairs, whether Ye Luo's entry into the team will destroy the "good atmosphere" of the current national team - no way, this is the current situation in the football world of the Dragon Country.

It's not just at the national team level.

In terms of professional leagues, youth training systems, football popularity, fan culture, football media, etc., they are all all-round and systematically backward.

As for the FA pulling the crotch or something, not to mention.

In a word.

In such an environment.

It's impossible to do football well.

So now there will be even the Spanish national team's greed, and Bosque even said that as long as Yelo chooses the Spanish national team, the premise that the team will be built with him as the core in the next ten years.

There are actually Dragon Country fans who are discussing whether a player of Ye Luo's level will "destroy the atmosphere in the team" when he joins a team of this level of the Dragon Country national team.

And it is in such an atmosphere of optimism.

The Dragon National Team ushered in two Asian preliminary matches - this is after a year, the Dragon National Team can finally play any warm-up matches and friendly matches.

It's an official competition.

Considering that the opponents in these two matches are not very strong: on December 12, away to Singapore, and on December 17, back at home, facing Uzbekistan from Central Asia in Guangzhou.

Before the game.

Dragon Country Media conducted a seemingly professional analysis.

The first is Singapore, which is a good team in Southeast Asia, but it is the same as all other Southeast Asian teams.

Height is a hard injury.

Although the Dragon National Team is not very good at the feet, it still has an advantage in physical opponents in Southeast Asia - traditionally, the Dragon National Team plays Southeast Asian opponents, basically with headers.

The opponent has such a clear weakness, even if it is away from home, it should not be a big problem.

Plus Singapore isn't a strong team, so it's not a problem to win against this opponent.

The next opponent is Uzbekistan.

This opponent doesn't have much of an advantage physically.

Football in Uzbekistan was born out of the youth training system of the former Soviet Union - in fact, the Dragon National Team also learned from the Soviet Union when it was a sports team.

Heavy confrontation, physical fitness, is very able to run, very resistant.

And Uzbekistan is only one place behind the Dragon National Team in Asia - a close rival.

Some media in the Dragon Kingdom have taken objective factors into account more in their analysis.

First of all, the Dragon National Team is playing at home, plus one point.

Secondly, the venue of the game is in Guangzhou, and the Uzbekistan team from Central Asia may not adapt to the climate of Guangzhou, plus one point.

Secondly, the Dragon Country national team has been in good shape this year, all the way WinWinWin.

This time, I am sure that Win is set.

After some analysis that seems to be well-founded.

Most of the Dragon Country media have come to a conclusion that makes Dragon Country fans have high expectations: the Dragon Country national team is expected to win two consecutive victories!

The result is such high expectations.

The first game of the Asian qualifiers for the Dragons national team was a 1-1 draw away from Singapore.

As soon as this result came out.

The fans who had exploded their expectations were immediately furious.

You can't even win in Singapore, and you're a fart!

You dog media know to make a big news, and the result? Something went wrong, right?

However, the second game was immediately followed.

Witnessed by tens of thousands of fans at Guangzhou Tianhe Stadium, the Longguo national team conceded two goals in a row in the 60th and 62nd minutes of the second half, encountering the familiar black three minutes

Lost 2-0 at home to Uzbekistan.

The king of the warm-up race who blocked the gods and Buddhas in the warm-up race before.

It's time for the official competition.

They were held to a draw by a weakly weak team that is barely a professional team, and then they lost cleanly to Uzbekistan 2-0 at home.

As soon as the Asian preliminaries began, the Dragon National Team was taken seriously.

Immediately after, there was the invective of the fans.

The sound of money refund is endless.

At the same time, the media has also taken a sharp turn from the state of "win-win" in the excitement and has become extremely pessimistic.

I began to doubt whether the Dragon National Team could pass the Asian preliminaries and enter the Asian Cup finals

If the Dragon National Team really missed the Asian Cup finals.

That's a big joke.

In the face of abuse from fans and the media, under the pressure of this huge public opinion.

The action made by the Dragon Nation FA is. A squad of 40 people was drawn up, and basically all the active players who have been selected for the national team were gathered. Military!!

"We want the international players to correct their thinking, correct their attitudes, and show a fighting spirit." Yunyun.

Even the Chinese Super League has been suspended.

Go without saying.

The Dragon National FA has one more amateur operation.

Because of the loss of the game, the international football team was gathered for military training, and even the professional league was suspended.

It's ridiculous.

There are also media interviews with Ye Luo.

Ye Luo actually didn't care much about the national team.

But the reporters who can't stand the dragon country always ask.

Every time they meet at the gate of the training ground, the reporters always have to say a few words about the national team.

Regarding the topic of "national player military training", Ye Luo pouted: "Suspending the professional league and letting players go to military training cannot be described as brain-dead."

In the face of Ye Luo's unceremonious statement.

Many Dragon Country reporters smiled bitterly.

With what he said now, if it is transmitted back to China, I am afraid that it will immediately cause a bloody storm - why? Because many reporters and fans in China actually agree with the logic that "military training makes players full of will to fight to win the game".

It's the same as the menstrual topic that has been enduring in domestic fan circles, such as "death row prisoners play the World Cup, win the pardon, lose the shot", "women's football can replace the men's football team to play games" and other topics.

The fact that these issues have arisen and been discussed for a long time is in itself a testament to the low level of football in the Dragon Kingdom as a whole.

Predictable.

Ye Luo's words will definitely attract him some black fans.

The Shake Super Ball Kings will make a move.

But Ye Luo didn't care either.

Because his current focus is not at home.

It's in the Premier League.

After the end of the 10-day international break.

The Premier League is entering a schedule known as the "Christmas Express Season".

This Christmas schedule is also known as the "Devil's Christmas Schedule".

Generally speaking.

The other leagues are now ready for a holiday - winter break?

Players in the Bundesliga, for example, are quite happy and have a month-long holiday.

And the players on the La Liga side can also enjoy a winter break of more than ten days.

But in the Premier League.

There is no winter break in the Premier League.

During the Christmas holidays, the Premier League players. You have to work overtime.

From December 20 to January 1.

There are four games to play in these eleven days.

It's basically a game every three days, and even in the middle, you have to play two games in 48 hours!

It's a brutal schedule that will certainly put the players' fitness to the test.

The first game for Arsenal is the 16th round of the Premier League.

On 20 December, Arsenal host West Bromwich Albion.

There is nothing to say about this game, the regrouped Arsenal is full of main players,

Beat the opponent 2-0 at home.

And the next game.

It's the Carabao Cup quarter-final – Arsenal draw against Chelsea.

The match was played at five o'clock local time on December 23.

And then there's the Premier League season repertoire: Christmas Wars!

Arsenal, as favourites, will of course be playing on Christmas Day 25 December.

They will take on Newcastle at St James' Park at 5pm on Christmas Day.

It's not a good game.

St James' Park is notoriously home of the devil.

And this game is only 48 hours away from the last League Cup game!

The players simply don't have time to recover physically, which means Arsenal have to make trade-offs.

Whether they will be rotated in the Carabao Cup quarter-final away to Chelsea or in the 17th round of the league away to Newcastle.

Much of the media has speculated about Arsenal's options.

They generally believe.

Arsenal may be able to keep the league.

Because the League Cup is honestly quite chicken.

If it's an FA Cup last-16 match, maybe Arsenal will consider sending a few key players.

But it's the Carabao Cup and it's going to be a very difficult away game right after the Carabao Cup.

On the premise that there is a lot of hope of winning the Premier League title this season.

Giving up the Carabao Cup seems like a reasonable choice.

In fact, Arsene Wenger is also suffering from this problem.

He certainly knew that playing two games in 48 hours was impossible without rotation – the players weren't machines, they just had to be charged or refueled.

Not to mention.

Even the machine has to rest.

Arsene Wenger actually prefers to keep the league and give up the Carabao Cup.

Considering the depth of Arsenal's squad, this is a very reasonable choice, the League Cup, the cup title, it is good to win, but it is nothing to give up, and it is a pity to abandon the chicken ribs without taste.

But the league is different.

Defeated Newcastle in the seventeenth round.

Arsenal have a chance to win the league halfway through the league two rounds early – because the highlight of this round of Christmas clash is not Arsenal's away game against Newcastle, but Manchester United's home Manchester derby against Manchester City!

A draw and a win for Arsenal would take the gap between Manchester United and Manchester City to six points – now seven points behind Arsenal after losing to Stoke City in the last round of the league!

If the Manchester derby is drawn, Arsenal will be able to take advantage of the halfway title with two rounds to go.

So Arsene Wenger was a little hesitant.

But he quickly made the choice: to come on as a substitute in the Carabao Cup.

But.

What surprised him

After the day's training.

Yello came to his office.

"Boss, I have a suggestion."

Ye Luo said.

"Please." Arsene Wenger picked up his teacup.

"I don't think I need to be rotated, I can play even one game a day!"

Ahem, cough, cough.

Wenger couldn't help but choke on the black tea and his lungs hurt when he heard it.

"What did you say?"

He looked at Ye Luo with a frown.

Tactical arrangements have always been a manager's business.

Arsene Wenger has a huge authority at Arsenal, and even if a player is dissatisfied with his arrangement, he will not dare to bring it up in front of him.

But Ye Luo's eyes are very honest now.

'I know my fitness and I know you have a trade-off between the Carabao Cup and the Premier League,' he said. But. I beg not to rotate me in the Carabao Cup. ”

"But." Arsene Wenger frowned.

He knew that Yelo had the privilege of not rotating in Malaga.

But that's Malaga, not Arsenal!

And Yelo is so important to Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger knew he had to save a little.

Not rotating?

How is that possible.

What should I do if I get hurt?

Yelo knew Arsene Wenger's concerns.

"I know you're worried, though. You probably know my fitness, there is no pressure on me to play every two days and I can guarantee that I will not get injured in the Carabao Cup. Most. If I play and lose the game, I'll be rotated later! ”

Ye Luo gritted his teeth and said.

Arsene Wenger's eyes lit up.

Oh no.

It's but... You said it yourself.
