Chapter 800 The Tensions of the Gunner Myth in the London Derby

It was the first time for Li Huan to experience the London derby against Chelsea. He didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking that he had already experienced the Premier League derby against Manchester United. The London derby was nothing, but when he returned to London the next day, he drove It was only when Li Huan arrived at the Kearney training base that he realized that he was wrong, and it was very wrong. Wenger and his teammates paid more attention to the London derby between Arsenal and Chelsea than the Premier League derby against Manchester United.Maybe this is the so-called hatred between distant relatives and close friends at work.

Before the game against Chelsea, the players would laugh and play before they went to the training base. Even when Wenger was there, they didn't care too much, and sometimes even joked about the professor.The team's results are indeed good, so good that even the most critical fans and coaches in the world have nothing to say, Wenger is in a good mood and won't mind the players playing tricks on him.

But today, after Li Huan arrived, he felt a serious atmosphere. Everyone was serious, warming up and organizing their equipment, as if they were going to compete today.Mr. Hillwood, the chairman of the club, also appeared at the training base. He was talking with Wenger, Paul and other coaches. Li Huan also heard words such as Chelsea and Derby from a distance. It seems that Hillwood is also for this match. The Chelsea derby came.

Li Huan didn't like this kind of training atmosphere. He felt very tired. He walked to Fabregas, Nasri, Vermaelen and the others, and said, "Why do you all look like this? Why don't we just play Chelsea? We are three points ahead of them in the first round, and if we win the make-up match, we will be six points ahead of them, it doesn’t matter to us whether we win or lose, Chelsea should be concerned.”

Nasri stopped juggling the ball and said: "Li, I'm afraid you don't know our record against Chelsea in the past few years. Since Mourinho took charge of Chelsea, we have only won two games in 14 games, and we have only won two games in the last few years. The FIFA virus has hurt us a lot, the injuries suffered by Van Persie, Diaby and Clichy in the national team have not healed yet, so what can we do to fight against Chelsea.”

Cesc Fabregas tied his shin guards and shoelaces, stood up and jumped, felt correct, and then said to Li Huan and Nasri: "In fact, after the professor came, we had an unbeaten record against Chelsea and absolutely suppressed it, but After the madman came, the situation changed completely. They used to be afraid of guns, but now we are afraid of cars."

Vermaelen said: "I'm afraid, we'll kill him the day after tomorrow."

I don't know when Wenger walked up to them, and said: ""Carphobia" is actually zoophobia, because we lost 14 of the 8 games with the contribution of Warcraft Drogba, Drogba Ba has scored 9 goals in the last 10 encounters with Arsenal in various competitions, which is even more terrifying than Thierry Henry. With him in the game, Chelsea won 8 wins and 1 draw against Arsenal, but without him, Arsenal 2 wins and 1 draw. None of our previous central defenders, from Campbell to Toure to Gallas, has ever been ravaged by the iron hooves of Warcraft. Senderos was played by Warcraft one after another in the Community Shield and the league, which directly caused a psychological shadow , from a rising star to a distraught colander. Now my worry is how to defend against monsters."

Vermaelen patted his chest, and said carelessly: "Coach, believe me, this task is entrusted to me. Guaranteed to turn the monster into a docile kitten."

Wenger took a look at Vermaelen and kept the words against him in his heart. Wenger believed in Vermaelen's strength, but he was really not sure about Vermaelen's defense against Drogba. Wenger knew Drogba very well. Ba is so strong, he had the idea of ​​letting Li Huan play as a central defender or as a defensive midfielder to defend Drogba. "Well, in the past two days, you have strengthened targeted training. The main defense against Drogba is to assist in the defense. It is very difficult to defend alone. We play overall football."

At this time, the chairman of the club, Hill Wood, also came over. The old chairman first greeted Li Huan affectionately, congratulated him on becoming the vice-captain of Arsenal, and then nodded to the other players, saying: "A captain, Both lieutenants are here, I want to say a few words, this derby, we must not lose, treat this game like a final, Lee, your opponent is Ashley. Cole, he is "for Qian "defected from Arsenal to Stamford Bridge, we must not lose in front of him."

Li Huan smiled and looked at the mention of Ashley.Cole and the emotional chairman said: "Chairman Hillwood, don't worry. Ashley. Cole will leave it to me."

Chairman Hillwood patted Li Huan on the shoulder and said, "I'm relieved when you say that. If you blow up Cole, I'll treat you to a glass of wine. Hahaha."

Everyone next to him laughed, but the laughter was not very natural, because it was like Ashley.In Cole's situation, the fans are the most angry, followed by the head coach and the club. The players are actually not angry because they may also be like Ashley.Cole, as long as they are given a good chance.

Vermaelen shouted: "Isn't the chairman inviting us?"

Hill Wood said heartily: "Don't worry, as long as we can win, I will treat you all to a drink."

There are few pure wingers at Stamford Bridge, and the wing attack mainly relies on full-back Ashley.Cole, but Chelsea's central midfielders piled up.After Ancelotti took over, he made full use of this imbalance in personnel reserves. He not only reused the former main players such as Lampard and Essien, but also fully mobilized the enthusiasm of Deco, Ballack, Mikel and others. At least three players will be able to get the chance to play in the game, and the other midfielder will be reserved for wide players such as Malouda and Joe Cole.This formation with only one wing, or simply damaging the two wings, has greatly improved the Blues' midfield control.Chelsea, a titan player whose muscles, strength and physical fitness surpass skills, cannot pursue gorgeous art, but this kind of direct deep attack is very effective against Arsenal, and can easily knock Arsenal's defense to pieces. .

In the training later on, Professor Wenger didn't make any big changes to the formation and tactics, and he mainly played with me. However, in the defense against Drogba, Professor Wenger took the trouble to carry out individual training. Guidance, it seems that Drogba has really become a serious problem for Professor Wenger.

In addition, Professor Wenger also specially chatted with Li Huan and Fabregas, mainly to let Fabregas score more goals for Li Huan. Arsene Wenger's biggest change against Chelsea.

In order to win this London derby, everyone in Arsenal made their own efforts. After the training of the day, Cesc Fabregas accepted an exclusive interview with the "Daily Mail". Unlike the usual way of refuting rumors, this time This time Fabregas not only stood up and expressed his loyalty to Arsenal, but also explained why he did not sign Barcelona.

"What kind of future? What kind of rumors about a move to Barcelona? It (to Barcelona) will never happen. I'm happy here, I just want to be part of this team, that's for sure Yes. Otherwise when I got the opportunity, I would have left. Like three years ago, two years ago and even last year. I believe in this team, I think we can achieve a lot, the owner believes in it more than anyone We, I feel like I'm a part of it, he's shown us what we're capable of, and I don't want to fail here."

Fabregas, who is only 22 years old, is now the captain and leader of Arsenal. He also talked about his relationship with Li Huan in an exclusive interview: "For most 22-year-old players, losing (when) can put The problem comes down to them being too young, but if I lose a game, or Arsenal lose a game, I know I'm the first to be responsible. (Nevertheless), I love it because I like responsibility and pressure. However, after Li Huan came, my pressure and burden have been relieved a lot. Li Huan is the kind of person with extraordinary ability. He is omnipotent. I am very happy to play football with him. He has now It's the team's deputy, he can take on more pressure."

The London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal is very hot every time, full of iron and blood, but in this atmosphere, there is also some warmth.Professor Wenger to Ashley.Cole is not interested, and he doesn't even bother to mention him, but he has a good impression of Anelka, the striker in Chelsea's current camp.

In the 96/97 season, Anelka, who was only 17 years old, was brought from Paris Saint-Germain to Arsenal by Wenger at a low price. In 2, he moved to Real Madrid for 1999 million pounds.However, since leaving Arsenal, Anelka has fallen into the lowest ebb of his career.It wasn't until January 2300 when he entered Stamford Bridge that Anelka regained his posture and finally won the Premier League Golden Boot.

Before the game, Wenger said to the stars he cultivated by himself: "Anelka's talent is worthy of everyone's recognition, and now he is more mature. I regret that he left us at the top club (playing football), He's found what he belongs to. I've been in touch with Nicola (Anelka) because I've always admired him and I'm still convinced (until now) that he never lost touch with Arsenal. I believe he still Love this club. I've been thinking about bringing him back at some stage, however that hasn't happened as we've always had good strikers and more importantly I'd never bring an old player to the Emirates , this is my principle."
