The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 618 The Nightmare Over the Emirates Stadium

The locker room at the Emirates Stadium is in the shape of a horseshoe facing the position of the head coach, and next door is a massage treatment room with eight physiotherapy beds, and a huge spa room, which not only has a massage pool, but also Comfortable shower.

If it is normal, the Arsenal players usually take off their wet jerseys immediately after returning to the locker room after the first half, or sit on the seats in the locker room to rest, or go to the shower Take time to wipe or even rinse your body, or enjoy a massage from a therapist.

But today, after all the Arsenal players walked back to the dressing room, they just sat in their seats. It was uncomfortable, so I just took off the clothes on my body, but no one snatched the most sought-after massage treatment rooms and spa rooms.

Perhaps, they are now ashamed of their performance in the first half.

"Tottenham Hotspur is too strong!" Sagna said to Squillage sitting next to him.

Obviously, he faced Ribéry, the best winger in the world, in the first half, and the pressure was very high.

In this game, Arsenal's defense has completely become the French. The left back is Clichy, the center back is Koscielny and Squillac, and the right back is Sagna. What's terrible is that the French players obviously have something wrong with each other.

"Don't you say that you are too bad? You have been tricked by Ribery again and again!" Nasri glanced at Sania over there, and said dissatisfiedly, he has always been like this, and he will do whatever he wants. What to say, the character is very rebellious.

Sania is also in a bad mood now. After hearing this, she said, "Don't you do nothing in the front?"

"That's because you guys failed to pass the ball at all!" Nasri got angry when he seized the opportunity. He was holding his breath in this game to compete with the two top superstars Ribery and Messi. But now it has completely turned into a joke.

"If you could pass the ball, I would have blown up Tottenham's defense!"

"Wow, I don't know who was knocked over by Marcelo just now and couldn't get up!" Sania said sarcastically.

This made many people in the locker room laugh, because in the first half of an attack, Nasri fought with Marcelo, but was knocked down by Marcelo and couldn't get up. A little embarrassing, a little funny.

But this obviously annoyed Nasri, and with a slap, he slapped the counter next to the sofa cushion.

The Arsenal dressing room is fully open, without a wardrobe, but a one-piece sitting table is arranged around the horseshoe-shaped dressing room with wooden boards. There are cabinets under the table, which are used to store the players' personal belongings. At the back is an open compartment for hanging jerseys and placing football boots one by one separated by wooden boards.

Nasri's beat made everyone in the locker room feel the vibration, and they were startled by the sound, and their laughter stopped.

"Say it again if you have the ability!" Nasri was obviously annoyed.

"What are you afraid to say?" Sania also stood up. He is not easy to provoke. Although he does not have Nasri's big name, he has long been displeased with this teammate who has a rebellious personality and always looks down on others.

"Hey, don't say a word for each person!" Squillage on the side also stood up and grabbed the two French compatriots.

Unexpectedly, Nasri lost control, pointing at Squillage, "It's none of your business, just sit aside and watch your balls, old guy!"

Squillage is 30 years old this year, and he is indeed one of the few elderly people in the young Arsenal team, but he was told in front of his face that if Squillage just sits back like this, there will be more in the future. What face has a foothold in the team?

"If you dare to say one more word, I'll make you lie on the ground!" Squillage didn't take Nasri seriously.

Maybe he is not as good as Nasri in terms of his skills on the court, but if he wants to talk about fighting, he really doesn't take it to heart.

"Did I say something wrong? It's useless, you were played like a monkey by Ribery and Cavani in the first half!" Nasri was too arrogant, and he was already in a bad mood for his bad performance. Now Being provoked by his teammates, he immediately became angry, completely forgetting that he and his teammates didn't seem to be in the same weight class.

Of course, Nasri also has his own strengths, that is, Wenger is relying heavily on him now.

"I..." Squillage was about to rush forward.

"Okay, shut up!" Captain Arteta quickly rushed in front of the two, stretched out his hand to block Squillage, "Sit back, Sebastian!"

Although Arteta is the captain of the team, he has always been called the most low-key and most personalityless captain in Arsenal's history. It is strange to say that he is the captain of the team with the least objection. At least not as much controversy as when Gallas was the captain before.

Perhaps, this is because in the eyes of all Arsenal players, Arteta, who is low-key but has always been conscientious, is the most important and indispensable core player on the Arsenal pitch. No one can underestimate his role.

"Go back to your seat, old guy!" Nasri said proudly.

But soon, Arteta also turned around and pointed to Nasri's seat, "Sit back too, shut your stinking mouth, and stop talking nonsense over there!" Perhaps seeing that Nasri did not move, Al Teta's eyes widened, "Right now!"

Nasri dared to get angry with the newcomers, but he didn't dare to get angry with the veteran Arteta. He could only feel depressed, but he sat back in his seat obediently, but his expression was obviously full of dissatisfaction , both dissatisfaction with Sarnia and Squillage, and anger at Arteta scolding himself in public.

After Arteta saw both of them sitting down, he was also relieved. He knew very well that he was not a captain at all, and he was very annoyed and depressed when he was the captain of Lao Shizi, because he always He felt that there was a heavy mountain on his body, which made him a little out of breath, and he was not as comfortable playing football as before.

Thinking about it carefully, I was the happiest when I was playing at Ajax, but now...

"Arsenal treats the visiting team just like they do in the transfer market, it's a virtue, miser is reincarnated!"

Compared to the tension in the locker room of the home team, the locker room of the visiting team was full of laughter. Ye Qiu used taunts and sarcasm to liven up the atmosphere in the locker room, but what he said was not wrong at all.

There is a spacious and luxurious shower room in the locker room of the home team, but the shower room in the locker room of the visiting team is only about [-] square meters, but the problem is that there are more than a dozen shower heads, and there is no barrier in between, that is to say, it takes In the shower, everyone is naked and frank, and it is very crowded, and it is not convenient to pick up the soap.

There are only four places in the bathroom next to the shower, and you have to queue up if you want to use it.

The floor of the locker room is also very different. The floor of the home team’s locker room is a moderately soft and hard air cushion, while the floor of the visiting team is hard. The seats in the home team’s locker room have soft leather sofa cushions, but the seats of the visiting team are not. It is a very ordinary cushion. After sitting on it, you can clearly feel the hardness of the wooden board. You can imagine it after sitting for a long time.

"You know? Arsenal gave me the impression of a stingy landlord and old fortune. It's rare that today we found their treasure house, so we can't be soft-hearted and take as much as we can. We want to give this miser an unforgettable This is a painful lesson, and it has completely broken the morale and reputation of our Tottenham Hotspur!"

Ye Qiu's words obviously made everyone in the locker room very excited, because this was the biggest affirmation the head coach gave them.

"I am very satisfied with everyone's performance in the first half, but I want to remind everyone that Arsenal is not a weak team. They have enough strength to counterattack. I once scored four goals in a row, and it was still in the Champions League final!"

Ye Qiu's words once again reminded everyone that the lead in the first half is nothing, and one must have a clear enough judgment.

"I hope you will continue to maintain the high spirits of the first half in the second half. I can predict that Arsenal will change in the second half. We will definitely encounter more difficult games and more difficult opponents than the first half, but I hope Everyone can continue to play our football style and play a wonderful game that will make the whole world cheer for you!"

Ye Qiu waved his clenched right hand excitedly, "This is a North London derby, guys, remember, we used to lose to Arsenal again and again in this kind of derby, we have not won for many years in a row Arsenal, their fans have humiliated us countless times, but now, you, you who make Tottenham hotspur fans proud, completely rewrite the situation, and you continue to create Tottenham fever Thorn history!"

"I firmly believe that this game will be a great game, don't be careless, go all out, keep attacking, I firmly believe that you can achieve a great victory, a game for Arsenal to meet us at any time in the future. Tottenham Hotspur, they will all be scared to turn around and run for a great victory!"

"I believe that you are strong enough to do this!"

"From now on, we will be a lingering nightmare hovering over the Emirates Stadium!"

…………

…………

In Ye Qiu's view, the biggest sticking point for Arsenal at present is not in defense or offense, nor in whether the team transfers or recruits, but in Wenger and the management's team structure.

Rejuvenation may be a forced choice for Arsenal. Wenger compromised with the team's finances and chose to rejuvenate. This is not a problem in itself. The real problem is that he is dealing with the reasonable combination of the team lineup. Up, a little out of control.

Generally speaking, a mature and combative team with a reasonable combination of giants should be composed of three types of players, top stars, stars in their prime, young people or experienced veterans.

Everyone should know that in this entire lineup, the role of young people and veterans should only be a supplement to the team's lineup and bench thickness, and should not be the core force that the team relies on, because they are uncontrollable. There are too many factors.

The core strength of a real team should be top stars and stars in their prime. This is the core combat effectiveness of a team.

So Ye Qiu sold Van Persie and Falcao, but kept Ribery and Messi, Cavani also kept, midfielder sold Mascherano, but Fabregas and David Silva stayed Stay, sell Ziglinski in the backcourt, Cech, Thiago Silva, Alves and others will be retained to ensure that the core strength of the team will not be seriously weakened.

And for Tottenham Hotspur, Franck Ribery and Messi are the top superstars, Fabregas, David Silva, Thiago Silva, Yaya Toure, Petr Cech, Alves and others are winners who already have rich experience in the Premier League and the Champions League and have won many honors. Their presence can help Tottenham Hotspur build up their own strong self-confidence, and through the usual Performance, bit by bit, spread this confidence to the young teammates around him.

Why does Ye Qiu say that any star can be sold on the one hand, but on the other hand, why does he adopt a reasonable and moderate way of selling people?

It is to pass on the overall framework of the team well, to ensure the combat effectiveness of the team, and to give young people more and better room for improvement. Currently, the Tottenham Hotspur team has both Messi and Ribe Here, there are Fabregas and Thiago Silva and others, as well as veterans such as Beckham and Raul, as well as Neymar, Coutinho, Eriksson, Ramsey and other strengths Not bad, a young player with outstanding talent.

According to the predictions made by Ye Qiu, Bobby Harms, and Mauro Tassotti, after two years, this group of teenagers will quickly grow into a new force of the team, slowly taking over the responsibility of other players in the team. Position, form competition, at that time, it will not be a problem for the team to sell anyone, and it will not affect the overall strength of the team.

But Wenger obviously lost control at this point. There are no top stars in the team, and there are very few stars in their playing years, but there are a lot of young players, or the kind of freshmen who have just landed in the Premier League. Serious problem.

Just like the Moroccan striker Chamark, this striker is tall and has excellent header ability, but his speed is not fast. More importantly, as an arrow figure, he does not have a strong ability in one-on-one. What makes him more active is running. The tactical role is indeed not small, but the offensive threat is not great.

Such a high center forward, when he first landed in the Premier League, other teams were not used to it. He was a bit like a dark horse who was promoted. A treasure, but never ignore the wisdom of the managers of top professional league teams, they will quickly figure out your bluffing tactics.

Wenger is also clearly aware of this problem. Arsenal's defensive problems will not be changed for a while. After all, the team's strongest defensive lineup is there. , but the effect may not be good, on the contrary, it is better to further strengthen the attack.

Therefore, Wenger made a very courageous halftime adjustment, replacing Denilson with Walcott, letting Nasri play in the middle, Walcott playing the right winger position, and the team changed 4231 formation.

For Arsenal, this is indeed a choice that has no choice. Only when the boat is overwhelmed will there be a chance to reverse the situation.

But after the start of the second half, Tottenham Hotspur still firmly occupied the initiative. Although Arsenal, whose morale had been exhausted, made several consecutive threatening attacks after the opening, the effect was not obvious.

The most threatening attack occurred in the second minute. Rosicky crossed the penalty area obliquely, and Chamark volleyed from the left rib 12 meters away from the goal, but the ball was too straight, and Petr Cech threw it straight.

Gradually, when Arsenal's offensive gradually eased, Tottenham Hotspur began to play their own threats, and once again began to constantly threaten Arsenal's goal, and Arsenal's entire defense line They have been devastated by Tottenham Hotspur and have completely lost their fighting spirit, and the goals have appeared under the guns of Tottenham Hotspur again and again.

In the 9th minute, Tottenham Hotspur seized another opportunity. Midfielder Cesc Fabregas threw a high overhead ball into the penalty area. Ni was entangled, the three players entangled in the small penalty area, and the goalkeeper Fabianski was hesitating whether to attack.

But at the critical moment, Cavani used his body to suppress the two central defenders of Arsenal. Almost without jumping on the spot, he pushed Fabregas' pass past Fabianski and went into it. Arsenal's goal, 5:0!

If it is said that the four goals in the first half made Arsenal's players fall into despair, but after the intermission, they still had some hope, so now, Cavani's goal It will completely make them feel desperate, because they will sadly find that no matter how they adjust, they still can't stop Tottenham Hotspur's offensive pace.

After Cavani scored, Wenger on the sidelines slapped his forehead hard. He was disappointed, even desperate, because he had to admit that his team was not as good as Tottenham Hotspur. There is indeed a gap that cannot be crossed in a short period of time.

He even had to despair to find out, let alone launch an impact on the league title. After this desperate game, how far can Arsenal go in the Premier League? The top four in the league, this is a very doubtful thing.

"Could it be that, in the past few years, have I really done something wrong?" This was the first time Wenger doubted himself in his heart.

But Wenger's doubts will obviously not affect the progress of the game, because both sides on the field are still continuing this almost one-sided massacre, especially in the second half of Tottenham Hotspur knocked again. After opening Arsenal's goal.

Football games are often like this, after the first goal is scored, the goal frenzy will follow.

And at this moment, the emotions of the Arsenal players finally collapsed!
