My light shines on Arsenal

Chapter 79
The aftermath of the "North London Miracle" has not yet dissipated.

In the half month after the game ended, countless media and programs repeated the game with great interest. After initially praising Arsenal's performance, the media discovered a new traffic growth point: mocking Allege's failure. inside.

Adding insult to injury has always been the favorite thing of the media. Their constant questioning of the club put tremendous pressure on Milan's dressing room. AC Milan's record in the league suddenly declined. After being out of the Champions League, they lost two consecutive games.

As for Arsenal, many media wanted to find opportunities to interview Chen Yao, but he declined all interview opportunities.

Part of the reason is that Chen Yao agreed to an exclusive interview with The Independent.

And partly because he knows now is not the time.

He just achieved a victory. Of course, this may be a victory recorded in history, but it is still not convincing enough.

At this time, Arsenal has reached the most critical period of the season.

They had good luck in the FA Cup, defeating Leeds United and Sunderland one after another and entering the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

This cup competition is currently the tournament in which they are most likely to compete for the championship.

Arsenal's next round opponent will be Liverpool.

Liverpool once defeated Arsenal in the League Cup, and after winning the game, they surged forward and easily defeated Cardiff City in the final to be crowned League Cup champions.

But Dalglish was not satisfied with this championship. After ending Liverpool's six-year drought, Dalglish threatened to compete for a double crown and also won the FA Cup.

In this way, there is no doubt that he will be the leader who is expected to lead Liverpool's revival.

If Dalglish can lead Liverpool further in the following seasons of the league, he may even have the opportunity to raise his name a little higher in team history.

When people see Bill Shankly's name, take a second glance and they see Kenny Dalglish.

And Arsenal will never give up the fight for the FA Cup championship - they have won 11 FA Cup championships in the history of the team, and they are eager to use the No. 12 trophy to end the haze of many years of no championship.

And the players still remember the unpleasant shadow of the last time they faced Liverpool.

Revenge, done in one season, how wonderful it is.

In addition to the FA Cup, after Arsenal advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals, their opponent was Real Madrid.

Real Madrid is undoubtedly one of the most dazzling teams in Europe this season. They are the best team in Europe in the minds of countless fans.

Their lineup is full of superstars. In La Liga, Real Madrid is in full swing. It still suppresses the rival Barcelona, ​​and even has a chance to hit the myth of [-] points in the season.

Back then, Arsenal could still compete with Real Madrid, but now Arsenal can be called weak in front of Real Madrid...

The desperate reversal of AC Milan was already the result of the superb performance of Arsenal players, as well as Milan's tactical failure and low state.

Facing Real Madrid, which is in good condition and strong, Arsenal and Chen Yao can only do their best.

In any case, playing two rounds with such a club will be of great benefit to the team's image and commercial income.

And the last one, which is also the most important event for Arsenal this season, is the Premier League.

After 28 rounds of fierce battles, the Premier League has entered the final ten rounds.

Whether it is competing for the championship, fourth place or relegation, the Premier League has entered the most intense period of competition and the most exciting games.

Manchester United and Manchester City have basically locked the championship and runner-up, but the two clubs are still fighting fiercely for the Premier League championship trophy.

The points gap between the six teams of Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, Everton, Newcastle United and Chelsea is only single digits at most.

They will compete for the remaining two Champions League spots.

For Arsenal, if they can win a championship and secure a place in the Champions League next year, preferably against Tottenham Hotspur, then this will be a fairly complete season .

After this season, the team's financial pressure will be further alleviated, and Arsenal, who have gained a breather, will also get time and space to reconstruct the team's framework and seek rejuvenation.

At the Colney base now, the training sessions for Arsenal players are different from before.

Wenger gave less and less specific guidance on training, while Chen Yao became more and more involved in training.

Now, new and old players will be mixed together, and training will be guided by him and the four first-team coaches Pat Rice, Bora, and Primorac.

Chen Yaozai continues to promote the integration of players and further deepens the tacit understanding between young players and old players.

At this stage of the season, it is no longer necessary to distinguish between the cup lineup and the league lineup. The young Arsenal players have gradually adapted to the intensity of the league and intercontinental competitions during the growth of most of the season.

The combination of old and new forms, the growth of young players, and even let Arsenal's strength gradually grow during the season.

Chen Yao once doubted why young players grew up so fast, but he later realized that he was still a loser.

I almost forgot about it.

His [Badge] is indeed still functioning.

However, the gains of these badges are all amplitude gains, which means that the effect depends on his own level.

If his own coaching ability is weak, then even if the badge greatly accelerates the teaching efficiency and player growth rate, the absolute value of the increase will be very small visible to the naked eye.

However, as the season progresses, his training ability, tactical level and coaching ability are also constantly improving. The combination of the two will have a greater bonus to the growth of players.

After defeating Milan, his level has reached level 30.

This is not just the reward of beating Milan, but also the transformation of the experience accumulated in a long season.

Chen Yao is also thinking about what the essence of the system is.

At present, judging from his feelings, the benefits brought by the system [Badge] are unquestionable.

But it's more of a benefit to the players.

Most of the effects of their own badges are to help players speed up their understanding and improve their speed, so the players grow well under their own "halo".

And his own level does not seem to be directly added by the system.

It is true that the [Logical Thinking] badge accelerated his learning speed.

His level has improved day after day in training and competition - but this is not the ability sent to him by the system, but his own growth.

Therefore, Chen Yao judged that the part of his personal attributes, perhaps the system is just a display to quantify the ability.

It's not that the system gave him level 30 abilities, but that his abilities reached level 30 and were fed back by the system.

Therefore, Chen Yao knew his goal clearly.

He shouldn't expect the system to suddenly use some reward to strengthen him, but should steadily improve his level and use the [Badge] gain to help the team improve.

This is the effect that the system, or the magical being behind the system, hopes to achieve.

At the same time, now he is more and more curious about whether other coaches have levels. It's really like looking at the levels of Mourinho, Ancelotti, Guardiola and the like...

As a result of Chen Yao's deep participation in training, the bond between him and the players has been further deepened, and in the league, his suggestions and thoughts have also had an increasing influence on Wenger.

Compared with the beginning of the season, when he only provided advice as a tactical analyst and was often not adopted by professors, at the end of the season, many of Chen Yao's ideas were appreciated by Wenger and incorporated into the tactical framework.

This also helped Arsenal's performance to pick up further in March.

With the countdown to the end of the league, their ranking has climbed to No. 5, only one step away from the top four.
