Chapter 824 The Gunner Myth Almost Made a Big Mistake
(Fourth change, asking for a monthly ticket)

After defeating Liverpool, Professor Wenger discovered that there was a bad trend in the team, and he was proud and complacent!This is not an accidental phenomenon. Almost all the players showed such dangerous emotions in their speech and demeanor. Even in public, some players were overconfident about the performance of the upcoming two games.

Captain Cesc Fabregas has his own column in the "Sun", Xiaofa said in the column: "Before Christmas, we will tie Inter Milan's winning streak. Cup, League Cup). We want to win everything and go as far as possible in all three competitions." Fabregas scored six points to his team before the game even started under the account.

Walcott also said on his Weibo, "There is nothing to say before Christmas. In January we will let all the competitors in the Premier League despair, and then work hard to play the Champions League." The Premier League team, which is considered too bad, actually used the saying that there is nothing to say, which is really a bit exaggerated.

The average age of Arsenal is 25 years old, and the average age of the main players is even younger. With so many victories in a row, the Champions League and the league are unstoppable. The veteran Gala and the calm Li Huan both felt a little proud.

Li Huan did not say anything like Cesc Fabregas and Walcott during the interview, but Li Huan was a little absent-minded during the two days of training. I went to Germany for a half-day vacation.This made Wenger very unhappy. The half-day holiday is not for players to travel long distances, and they will have to play against Empoli in the middle of the week.

The day before the match against Empoli, Li Huan was successfully broken by Diaby in the group match in the afternoon. The first single-handed breakthrough by Li Huan made Diaby excited and laughed wildly, but Li Huan looked lazy and indifferent , Wenger finally couldn't bear it anymore, and kept Li Huan after the training.He doesn't know what's wrong with Li Huan. As an old player who won the Champions League and the league title, and the team's new spiritual leader, Li Huan shouldn't be as easy to satisfy as a young man. Sophisticated teams like Manchester United and Chelsea catch up and even overtake, and it will be difficult to catch up.Players like Li Huan cannot be criticized directly. Wenger intends to have a heart-to-heart talk with Li Huan to let him understand that the Premier League is different from the Bundesliga. The competition here is more brutal and longer.

Although Wenger was very kind on the training ground and the players often joked with him, few players went to Wenger's office. Off the court, Wenger didn't have much interaction with the players.But players like Li Huan and Cesc Fabregas are certainly exceptions, this is not their forbidden area.

Li Huan sat casually on the black sofa in Wenger's office, and flipped through an engineering book aimlessly. He knew what Wenger asked him to do. In fact, he also felt proud of the team. I saw it, but recently he couldn't have the energy to take care of these things. Li Bing's due date is just this week. In his past and present lives, Li Huan was going to be a father for the first time, so his thoughts were mostly on this matter.

Professor Wenger is not good at interacting with players. After pouring Li Huan a glass of water, he said after a while, "How is life in London? Are you still used to it?"

Li Huan smiled and said: "It's okay. After training, you can either go out to eat and listen to concerts, or watch TV online at home, and occasionally chat with friends. It's not a habit, but basically you can adapt."

Wenger nodded and sighed: "It's good to get used to it. Now that we have the Internet, it's much better than when I came here. I was so depressed when I lived in London. By the way, why didn't you tell your parents Come live together?"

Li Huan smiled slightly and said: "Our parents have jobs in China, and they are not used to coming here. They have no friends to talk to and chat with. The entertainment industry here is not the form they like. I think it is better for them to stay in China."

Wenger said with a smile: "Oh, I heard that you Chinese love your hometown very much. In fact, the elderly are happiest living in their hometown."

After making a big circle, Wenger said: "Li Huan, tomorrow is the away game against Empoli, what do you think? Are you sure?"

Li Huan shook his head and said: "Football games are the most difficult to guess. Even if Empoli is a weak team, the game will definitely not be won easily. It is easy to slack off after a strong team. We must concentrate on playing this game well. .”

Wenger originally wanted to talk to Li Huan because he was worried about the team's slack and pride, but he didn't expect Li Huan to remind him not to slack off. Thinking that Li Huan is 26 years old but has never had a real girlfriend, he immediately thought that Li Huan might not be able to go clubbing at night to rest. The team caused a lot of trouble. If we don’t prepare carefully, we may be upset by them. You are a defender and the captain of the team. Recently, the team has appeared arrogant. During the game, you Shout a little, don't let them be careless."

Li Huan said: "Don't worry, Professor, Cesc and I are watching."

Wenger said: 'Cesc?I'm not sure about him yet, he's still too young.Well, my daughter Leah asked me to thank you for her, she was very happy that you gave her the jersey from the last game as a gift.Said that I would like to invite you to dinner at home when I have time. "

Li Huan smiled and said, "Okay, I also really want to meet the professor's daughter, she must be a cute little princess."

When the topic touched on family matters, Wenger smiled and said, "Actually, I think you should find a girlfriend too. Being alone in a foreign land is very lonely. It would be better to have a girlfriend as a companion."

Li Huan was eager to go home and go online to see how Li Bing was doing, so he dealt with Wenger casually. I hope that Li Huan will not affect the team's performance because of his personal affairs.

12月16号晚上7点45分，阿森纳前往特富摩尔球场挑战升班马伯恩利，双方历史交锋96场，阿森纳43胜20平33负占据上风。这是双方首次在英超交手。但是上个赛季伯恩利在联赛杯1/4决赛主场击败过枪手。

Burnley's squad configuration is not impressive at all, but last season they beat Fulham, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham in the Carabao Cup and almost reached the final.This season, Burnley also drew and defeated quasi-strong teams such as Manchester City and Tottenham. The reason why they can achieve such a record is because they adopted a fast and tight tactical play, and the defense is solid and experienced. , Goalkeeper Jensen, defender Caldwell, Carsley, Jordan, all have experience playing in the Premier League.Burnley's midfielders can't run to death.Therefore, although the team's scoring is a problem, it is difficult to beat. A technical team like Arsenal has always had a poor record against teams that defend well and can run.

Burnley almost scored in the first 2 minutes. Former Manchester United winger Iggs made a free kick. Carlisle headed the goal. Vermaelen failed to clear the siege and still hung to the goal. After the ball hit the crossbar and rebounded, Li Huan appeared in time and kicked him out of the penalty area.

After being startled by the relegation team in the opening game, Arsenal concentrated on launching a fierce attack on Burnley and took the lead in the 7th minute. Walcott's cross was cleared by Carlisle's header and Li Huan organized the attack Passed to Cesc Fabregas, after being intercepted by the opponent on the edge of the penalty area, Fabregas immediately countered and got rid of Carlisle's defense, and finally shot the bottom left corner from 12 yards to make the score 1:0.
But then Arsenal became slack. They thought that the opponent would be caught immediately, but they did not expect Burnley to play extremely tenaciously. The whole team was constantly pressing, making Arsenal's short pass penetration impossible. To limit Li Huan's side attack, Burnley also sent a player to follow Li Huan in the halftime, and Li Huan's condition today was not particularly good, and the game was stalemate for most of the time.In the 65th minute of the second half, Vermaelen fouled in the penalty area and was awarded a penalty kick by the referee. Burnley's 37-year-old veteran Alexander easily made the penalty.

Then the Gunners woke up like a dream, turned away from the guest, and launched a flood of attacks at the Turf Moor Stadium. However, because of impatience and bad luck, Arsenal hit the side nets and goalposts many times. It's getting harder and harder to fight, just at this time.It was Li Huan's Xiao Li Flying Knife who saved Arsenal again, but this time Li Huan took the free kick at a distance of about 33 meters, and luck played a lot.

The away game against Burnley scared Arsenal into a cold sweat. If Li Huan hadn't been possessed by God in the end and scored a free kick 30 meters away, the result of this game would be hard to say. In the same round of matches, both Chelsea and Manchester United won. Now the Arsenal players know that the original eight-point lead means two hemispheres. As long as the championship is not won, anything is possible.

After playing this round of the league, Wenger rushed to the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland to participate in the draw ceremony for the 2009-10 UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals. A more important event in the league.
