Chapter 279 Grassroots (first guarantee)

In the end, Liverpool defeated Arsenal in their home game 2-0.

They successfully passed the third round of the FA Cup, and Arsenal were eliminated in the first FA Cup game of the season.

Arsenal's players all refused to be interviewed after the game, perhaps because of their inner shame, or perhaps because of their unhappiness after losing the game.

In short, they all hurried past the reporters. No one stopped to accept interviews with reporters.

The reporter who did not stop the players asked Wenger at the press conference.

Wenger opened his hand: "I said before that the Liverpool reserve team is a very strong team. You don't believe it, what do you say in your own media? You think I made a fuss and think I lost Arsenal. Your dignity. Have you seen this game too? Does anyone still think I over-exaggerated?"

A group of reporters looked at each other, unexpectedly Wenger was waiting for them here...

They had indeed criticized and ridiculed Wenger unceremoniously before.

So Wenger's counterattack also makes sense.

But... But, using your team's defeat as a counterattack weapon, is this too two hundred and five?

We must know that although we were counterattacked by him, his team was also eliminated. Who loses more?

It's clear at a glance.

We were ridiculed by him, but now we can't hold back our face. Besides, how many shameless reporters are there? So maybe it doesn't even feel like this.

But his team was eliminated in the first game of the FA Cup. Is such a result justifiable?

For a giant like Arsenal, not even being able to make it through the first round of the FA Cup is the biggest failure, right?

In the face of such a big failure, doesn't Wenger have any pressure at all?

Even if he is a director of the Arsenal club, he cannot be ignored. ""

So they really can't understand why Wenger still has the face to teach them reporters with his team's failure.

Naturally, they didn't understand, how deep inside Wenger's heart he hoped that the game would eventually be lost.

If he loses a game but can get back a bigger victory, he will do it without hesitation.

A good head coach must be a good tactician, but also a good strategist.

The strategist's eyes can't just stare at one city and one place. If necessary, he must have the courage to break his wrist and give up some games, even if these games seem to be important.

If you have a long-term vision, the outcome of a game under your nose does not matter, but if you can exchange for future brilliance, you should do it without hesitation, and you can't shake your heart at all.

Wenger is such an excellent head coach.

I am afraid that many people would not have thought that Wenger would take the defeat of this game in exchange for a greater victory.

So they don't understand.

Arsenal lost the ball over there, depressed.

Liverpool won the ball here, and morale is high.

When the Liverpool players were interviewed, they were in high spirits and seemed very happy.

Although they did not score, Chen Yingxiong scored the goal alone. But after two seasons of the League Cup and FA Cup experience, the players of the Liverpool reserve team have long regarded Chen Yingxiong as one of them.

Chen Yingxiong scored a goal and they were equally happy.

What's more, their defensive contribution in this game is no less than that of Chen Yingxiong.

If it were not for their tenacious defense, Arsenal might have scored before Chen Yingxiong scored.

Regardless of the point of view, the players of the Liverpool reserve team are qualified to be happy for this game. ""

And the victory in this game also greatly aroused their confidence-even the first team of Arsenal is at our feet, what else is terrible for us? !

※※※

After the game, the media were surprised at how easily the Liverpool reserve team defeated Arsenal's first team at home.

Aside from surprise, it is naturally praise.

All kinds of praise and flattery have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Under the pen of these media, the Liverpool reserve team is already stronger than Manchester United.

This is how their ridiculous result came out-in the first half of the league, Arsenal beat Manchester United 1-0 away, and now the Liverpool reserve team beat Arsenal 2-0 at home. These are all known conditions. From Arsenal defeating Manchester United, we know that Arsenal is better than Manchester United, and the Liverpool reserve team defeats Arsenal. We know that the Liverpool reserve team is stronger than Arsenal. Therefore, the Liverpool reserve team is stronger than Arsenal and stronger than Manchester United. Therefore, the Liverpool reserve team is stronger than Manchester United. Manchester United...

Sounds nonsense, right? But the media often do so simply and simply. In fact, they all know that this comparison is stupid. But how can you attract eyeballs if you don't? Sometimes taking the initiative to make a fool of yourself is actually a means of marketing.

Of course, the Liverpool reserve team cannot be better than Manchester United.

Even if they can beat Arsenal, it will be a specific result that appears on a specific occasion and under specific circumstances.

But no matter how many people are, at this time, touting a group of civilian heroes and advocating "victory for the common people" is the most capable of igniting everyone's passion and blood.

The reason why the FA Cup and the League Cup can still maintain their vitality in the English football world under the impact of the Premier League and the Champions League has a lot to do with their unpopularity.

In fact, everyone likes to watch the grassroots overcoming the giants, but in the Premier League, this kind of extravagant hope is too slim, even for teams like Bolton and Charlton, they can't be regarded as grassroots. The real grassroots are those low-level league teams, the lower the better, such as amateur teams, such as the English C, English B teams.

Although the Liverpool reserve team is well-known, they can be regarded as grassroots. After all, they are all from the youth team and have not yet proven their ability in higher-level matches. It's not that the youth teams of giants are better than the youth teams of ordinary teams. Some players from the giant youth teams may only be able to play in the British Championship, League One, League Two... or even amateur teams in the end.

Since everyone likes to watch grassroots legends, the Liverpool reserve team is indeed grassroots.

Then it will naturally be publicized.

This is indeed the most worthy of reports and attention recently.

When the outside media is praising Liverpool's reserve team, this day is not easy for Arsenal.

Arsenal did not return to the Kearney training base in London after finishing the FA Cup because they had to fight at Anfield and Liverpool twice in four days.

Instead, they continued to rent a training ground at the North Leffield Training Base in Everton for training.

At the North Leffield training base, Arsenal's proud men are standing in front of Wenger with their heads down at this moment, and they dare not make a sound.

They were not irritated by Wenger. In fact, Wenger didn't say anything. That's the case with these players.

They are ashamed.

Because before the game, they arrogantly thought that they could beat the Liverpool reserve team.

How can you think of such an ending?

Not only did they fail to beat the Liverpool reserve team, they were also beaten by the Liverpool reserve team without any strength to fight back. In the last half, they can only defend themselves, so they can barely guarantee that they will not lose the ball, let alone counterattack.

In this way, they were beaten by the Liverpool reserve team in full view, and they were almost beaten so that their mother could not recognize them.

Such shame was caused by them themselves. If they were willing to listen to the boss before the game, they might not end up like this...

They don't know that the boss just wants them to lose, and they can't deceive Liverpool if they don't lose. So in fact, they lost well, lost wonderfully, and lost flawlessly and impeccably.

In this way, Liverpool will be more convinced of their previous statement that Arsenal really cannot pose any threat to them.

The players on the reserve team are all young people. They are young, vigorous, impulsive, and easy to get overwhelmed. A little achievement can make them lift their tails to the sky.

The media has helped in this way. Wenger believes that the gangsters of the Liverpool reserve team will definitely underestimate the enemy.

He himself is a head coach who likes to train young players, so he has a deep understanding of young people's psychology. Confident that I guessed a good ten.

The Liverpool reserve team did it, and now it’s his players.

Players used to be blindly self-confident, but now they have gone to the other extreme, which is blind inferiority. They must restore their fighting spirit, otherwise even if Liverpool were cheated by him, the final result would be Liverpool's win.

He looked at these players. They were like dogs with their tails clamped. They were dejected, their ears drooped, and they didn't say a word.

Perhaps in their hearts, they are more willing to scold them all by themselves, so that they will feel better in their hearts.

But I can't do this, because once I do, the unrestrained emotions in these players' hearts will be lessened, or even disappear.

Although their loss to the Liverpool reserve team hurt them very much, they are, after all, the pride of heaven, and they will definitely feel a little bit dissatisfied with this defeat deep in their hearts. They don't believe that they lost to the Liverpool reserve team so helplessly.

This kind of dissatisfaction may be rare, but it is what Wenger needs most.

Because this sentiment will become Arsenal's revenge anger in the second game.

As long as you do it yourself.

He took a breath and said, "Now, throw all yesterday's game into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean!"

Everyone looked up in surprise and looked at the head coach in front of him. There didn't seem to be any angry expression on his face.

But they would rather the boss scold them all, instead of trying to make them feel uncomfortable in this way.

The more amiable the boss is towards them, the more ashamed they are.

Finally, I just wished that a crack broke in the ground and let them all get in.
