Chapter 41, the half-way champion, Ferguson's calculations
This kind of "Internet explosion" made Simpson miserable, and in an interview, he posed as a victim: "I was cyberbullied by the Dragon Country, and they racially discriminated against me."
Simpson's remarks got him a lot of attention from the English media.
He's English, after all.
The tabloids in England added fuel to the story, portraying Simpson as "a poor little black man in England who is bullied by the cyber mob of the Dragon Kingdom." ”
Time.
The media, which already has a dark filter on all kinds of things in the Dragon Kingdom, rushed to it.
It shows all the Dragon Kingdom fans what is a qualified propaganda tool and what is a mouthpiece.
There were also media interviews with Newcastle's players.
"We're going to get revenge!"
This phrase became the mantra of the Newcastle players.
Ye Luo's response to this was: "Want revenge? Then get in line. ”
Facing the microphones and cameras of reporters at the gate of the training ground, Ye Luo pouted and said: "I welcome them to take revenge, I would love to play them at the Emirates Stadium, after all, I scored three goals against them this time, next time. Maybe I'll score four goals. ”
Many of the North London reporters at the scene laughed.
Of course, they supported Ye Luo, and Simpson maliciously fouled three times and twice, and he actually dared to come out to exchange.
As for the Internet explosion or something.
That's even more ridiculous.
Which professional player hasn't been blown up by a rival fan net?
If anyone is like Simpson, then be a hairy professional player.
And for Arsenal.
The second leg of the league against Newcastle was nothing but a no-brainer.
After this weekend's league game.
The quarter-finals of the League Cup have also been released.
Arsenal drew Reading in the draw.
It is worth mentioning.
In the quarter-finals of the League Cup, apart from Arsenal, the other teams are teams at the bottom of the Premier League table, as well as teams in the Championship.
Arsenal, Norwich, Swansea, Aston Villa, Reading, the only five Premier League teams left in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
And Brentford, Middlesbrough, and Leeds United are all teams from the Championship.
There are only so many cows and horses left in the quarterfinals of the League Cup, which is enough to show the views of the teams on the League Cup.
For Arsenal though.
There are only these teams left in the League Cup, and it is indeed a good chance to win this title.
However, after Wenger talked to Ye Luo in detail, he still decided to send substitutes + youth players in the League Cup, plus Ye Luo led the team.
If you can win the championship, you can get it.
Can't get it.
It will not affect the other main players.
And in the middle of the week.
The other group competitions in the Champions League and the Europa League have also come to an end.
The round of 16 of the Champions League and the round of 32 of the Europa League were also born.
On Friday, UEFA held the draw for the round of 16 of the Champions League.
The draw for the round of 16 is the group top team against the group runners-up of the other groups, with teams from this group and teams from the same league avoiding them.
Arsenal won the group, so their signing was pretty good, and their Champions League last-16 opponents are Galatasaray from the Turkish Super League.
In the quarter-finals of the League Cup at the weekend.
Arsenal, who are at home, still play in the mode of Yelo with substitutes and young players.
As a result, Arsenal won 5-1 and advanced to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.
In the semi-final draw, Arsenal drew Leeds United, while Aston Villa faced Brentford from the Championship.
"Arsenal are very likely to end the season without a title!!"
After the game, many media made this judgment.
The Carabao Cup semi-finals are played over two legs, home and away.
So Arsenal have to play two games with Brentford, but one of the two sides is the top of the Premier League and the other is a mid-table team in the Championship, the difference in strength is too large, and almost all the media believe that there is no suspense for Arsenal to finally break into the League Cup final.
After this Carabao Cup.
In midweek, Arsenal have another make-up match for the 18th round of the league.
They beat Reading 5-2 away at Reading.
Back at home three days later, Arsenal drew 1-1 with Wigan Athletic in the 19th round of the league.
At this point, the halfway schedule of the league is over.
Arsenal have won 15 of the 19 league games, drawn three and lost one.
With a score of 48 points, it is at the top of the league standings!
In second place is Manchester United.
Their record is 14 wins, 3 draws, 2 defeats, and 45 points.
Manchester City, who are in third place, are third with 13 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, accumulating 43 points.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have 13 wins, three draws, two defeats and are fourth with 41 points.
In fifth place is Tottenham Hotspur.
Their results are more stretchy than the top four, with 10 wins, three draws and six defeats, with 33 points, eight points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
After the half-leg league.
The situation in the Premier League for the fourth place is very clear.
The only suspense is the battle for the league championship!
At the beginning of 2013, Ye Luo spent it in constant competition.
He now finally understands why the Premier League is said to be the "hardest" of the top five leagues.
With such a dense schedule, it is simply not a human being for the players.
Fortunately, Ye Luo himself is hanging, so he can still hold on.
And because there is a rotation in both the league and the cup.
So the players can hold on – and in the past, Arsenal are usually full of injuries when they get to this stage.
Arsenal with Yelo not only have leaders on the playing field, but also have backbone.
In terms of troop arrangement.
It would also give Wenger more room to adjust.
Arsenal had a bye against Southampton in the 20th round of the league.
Because they have to play the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
On the road, Arsenal made a big rotation.
When this starting list appeared, many media reporters were surprised.
Because it is time for the semi-finals, everyone thinks that Arsenal should pay attention to this game, at least they will not send any young players from the academy to play.
But it's a pity.
This game is still dominated by substitutes and young players from the academy.
Oh, Ye Luo still led the team.
This made many people think before the game that Arsenal would definitely have a problem playing like this.
"Do Arsenal think they can win the Carabao Cup with a squad like this? Although everyone says that the League Cup is a chicken rib, no matter what you say, this is a cup champion! ”
Some reporters complained before the game.
But the results were beyond everyone's expectations.
Reading reached the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, and apart from Arsenal, none of the other teams that reached the semi-finals were strong.
On the premise of having a chance to win a cup title, Reading are the main net players and will have to go all out to win at home.
outcome
Yelo led the team to a direct 5-2 win away from Reading.
In the first round, the suspense ended.
As long as Arsenal return home and don't lose more than three goals, they can go to Wembley for the Carabao Cup final!
And in this round of the league, with Arsenal's bye, Manchester United won at home to Sunderland.
With one more game, they overtook Arsenal by one point!
Arsenal have been at the top of the table for half a season, and for the first time they have dropped to second place in the table after a league game!!
This made Manchester United fans quite excited.
"The Premier League title belongs to Manchester United!"
Manchester United supporters chanted.
No one from Arsenal has responded to this.
Because there is no need to respond.
They've got one less game.
It is indeed very unpleasant to be robbed of the top of the league standings with one game less.
But that's about it.
Because everyone knows that the current ranking in the standings does not mean anything, and no one can award the award in advance until the final round.
Ferguson, of course, doesn't care about a change in the standings.
However, he does focus on Arsenal's performance.
He specifically watched the video of the Carabao Cup semi-final match between Arsenal and Reading.
In this kind of big rotation, Ye Luo's performance is very outstanding, which also allows Ferguson to better observe Ye Luo's ability.
He watched the video of the game twice.
After returning home for dinner, he began to watch it, and did not go to bed until twelve o'clock in the evening.
But his mind was still constantly recalling those clips of Ye Luo on the court.
As he lay on the bed under the covers, his eyes stared blankly at the ceiling.
He still fell asleep as he could, but he couldn't toss and turn, he was worried about waking up the people around him.
He remained in a flat lying position.
In my mind, it's still Guan Yu football, about the game.
Or rather.
About Yelo.
Because Yelo's performance in the Premier League in this half season shocked Ferguson.
Before that. Ferguson would never have thought that a player client would be able to completely transform a team on his own.
Not even Maradona!
In Argentina, the football king Maradona has a group of excellent teammates such as Caniggia, the son of the wind.
In Naples, Maradona's team-mates are actually very good.
Football needs superstars, but at the end of the day, football is a team sport that relies on the whole.
That's what Ferguson has always believed.
"I was almost shaken by this kid"
Ferguson thought.
But he soon showed a hint of determination in his eyes.
He still believes that football still relies on the whole!!
Yelo can continue to perform like crazy for half a season, but he can't continue to perform like this for an entire season.
No matter who you are, there will be times when your form will go up and down.
What Manchester United is going to do.
It's about constantly winning, constantly putting pressure on Arsenal.
Let them keep accumulating pressure and eventually collapse!
I will not admit defeat!
The aging Ferguson gritted his teeth, and his teeth rubbed together to make a "squeak" sound.
This made his wife, who was already asleep next to him, turn over.
Ferguson hurriedly retracted his thoughts.
Carefully tucked the quilt for his wife.
Then he closed his eyes.
At this moment, the woman beside him opened her eyes, looked at her husband's head with a lot of silver hair, and sighed softly.
