Chapter 224 Wenger's Worries

Chelsea and Lin Yi are still raging in the league. These guys have already advanced to the Champions League. At this juncture, the only Arsenal team that can still hope to snipe them is not so easy.

Although they are only three points away from Chelsea in the league standings, they seemed to be vented after their unbeaten record was ended by Manchester United, and they have been unable to cheer up to continue fighting.

Whether in the UEFA Champions League or in the League Cup, they are all stumbling. Even if they win, it is scary to watch. They are not as smooth as the mercury at the beginning of the season.

I really don't know if they were blown away by the Manchester United team. After the undefeated golden body was broken, they suddenly became weak. Even the fans of the Arsenal team did not expect the team to fall into this kind of trouble.

This is completely two extremes with Chelsea. The group of lunatics from Stamford Bridge became even crazier after losing a game. They even used ten times the counterattack to prove their viciousness to others.

That is a group of beasts, the more they are injured, the more dangerous they appear, especially when they are bleeding, they will appear extremely ferocious, as long as there is a prey that passes by their eyes, they will pounce without hesitation.

Even this ferocity will cost them a heavy price. Anyway, as long as they have the opportunity, they will tear the prey that passes by, and they will often appear to be indifferent.

This is the temperament that Mourinho instilled in the Chelsea team. They are not nobles, but a group of gangsters, and they are the kind of gangsters who want to die.

Compared to Arsenal and Chelsea now, it seems that they lack such bravery and bloody killing instinct. When they are bleeding from wounds, they are more used to licking alone.

It's not like Chelsea, baring their teeth and fighting their opponents desperately, maybe this is the reason why they are behind in points.

Especially when Wenger recently met those teams that rely on their bodies for food, they were always subject to the opponent's aggressive style of play. Perhaps it was Manchester United's Jedi counterattack game that made these players have lingering fears.

More than flamboyant, not strong enough. Although the Arsenal team also has a tough guy like Vieira, this impression has always been around Wenger's team. No matter how he adjusts, he has not been fundamentally changed.

The injuries and exhaustion of personnel made Wenger, a wise old guy, have to passively start to rotate.

Especially in the deployment of midfield personnel, players like Ljungberg and Pires, after continuous campaigns, have begun to enter a period of inertial fatigue physically, and must stop and rest.

This allowed Wenger to find some backups from his own bench and the second-tier team. Even the old man selectively gave up the competition for the League Cup. After all, these players in front of him cannot support the third-tier battle.

But you also have to admire Wenger's training of young players. Under his guidance, those young players in the second team have begun to play a leading role in the league, especially the Spanish kid who just entered the first team this year.

With both Pires and Ljungberg sidelined due to injury and fatigue, Fabregas began to partner Vieira in the middle. His long-range shooting ability and ability to read the game began to make many people think of him. With admiration.

Many football critics have said that this may be the candidate for the soul of Arsenal's next midfielder. In addition to his lack of experience, his skills are already fully qualified for Arsenal's main position.

And many good people also like to compare this young Spaniard with that Chelsea black-haired kid, whether it is their skills or other things, they will be compared.

Although Lin Yi has long been used to such comparisons, he also has a different interest in this young opponent who is also in London, especially after watching that guy play football.

"A very interesting guy, his shots are indeed much more accurate than mine." After watching the video, Lin Yi turned and said to Faria, and the stiff guy responded with his middle finger.

"Even Cech's shot is better than yours." Lin Yi almost choked to death on Faria's words.

There is no way, although Lin Yi's hard training has continued, but compared to Fabregas's slightly terrifying long-range shooting ability, he is indeed a little bit worse, and it is useless even if he wants to refute it.

This is also the thinking of many team defenders. Many times, they would rather let Lin Yi choose to shoot than let the kid break through with the ball or pass the ball. Compared with those two threats, shooting is the safest of.

"A freak." This is Faria's evaluation of Lin Yi, which is enough to stimulate Lin Yi's nerves.

Lin Yi started to increase his shooting training every day after watching Fabregas' game video. He didn't want to be despised because of shooting problems when the two met.

The war between two young people in the same city is like in Portugal, the confrontation between Lin Yi and Ronaldo came from this way, and Lin Yi is used to being a winner .

He doesn't want to change this habit in England, Cesc Fabregas?Maybe it will be a good opponent for him.

At least he is more likely to meet Lin Yi face to face in the middle than Ronaldo, who is always used to playing on the side.

However, Lin Yi, Ronaldo, Rooney, Cesc Fabregas, this phenomenon of collective blowout of young players has also become a beautiful landscape in the Premier League this season. The teams are not only competing for victory, they are also fighting for the future.

No matter who can win in the future, they will have a wonderful preview for the future Premier League battle in advance.

"This is a Premier League game for young people, and they will be the masters of the future." This is also the sentence used at the end of the article by The Sun at the end of a report corresponding to young players.

The sudden rise of Cesc Fabregas, just like the sudden rise of Lin Yi in Porto last season, always brings people endless reverie. There are too many variables about their future, achievements, and confrontation.

This also makes many people speculate, when the next summer comes, how many veterans of the Arsenal team who are over 30 years old can stay in the team, especially those who happen to be in the position of midfield organizers Pires.

Wenger will not easily change his signing habits because of a certain person. Perhaps except for Henry, no one can make this old French man feel nervous. It will be ruthlessly thrown into the long river of history, and people will slowly forget it.

A cunning old man like Wenger would not easily talk about future plans on any occasion, so he left those people guessing, and he didn't give any answers, but Fabregas's reuse cannot be changed. In fact, the time left for those veterans is gradually disappearing.

But what makes Wenger quite upset is that this time in the League Cup, he was sniped by his old enemy again. Manchester United, who also sent the second-tier team, defeated their old opponent with a very weird goal.

In the opening 20 seconds, Arsenal hadn't even reacted to the referee's whistle, and they were already behind.

Arsenal's rookie defender De Giono made a fatal mistake when passing the ball in the backcourt. Manchester United's Berion quickly inserted a steal, which made the defending Clichy unable to defend, and could only chase desperately behind. .

But Bellion, who took the first step towards the goal, obviously has a positional advantage, and he has too many options.

Bellion broke through to the edge of the penalty area and shot suddenly. It was a shot with no angle at all. Even Ferguson would think it was a bad shot choice, but it was such a shot that Almunia seemed to be able to confiscate easily. Shot, but because of the moment when Clichy caught up, the tackle changed.

The football hit his heel and bounced into the net in such a strange way. Almunia watched this scene with dumbfounded eyes. His body, which had already moved ahead of time, had no time to turn around to save the ball.

You can imagine Wenger's expression at this time. This French old man who is supposed to be known for his elegance, the only action he can make is to cover his mouth with his hand when facing such a conceded goal.

But the camera can clearly capture the old man's mouth moving. If nothing else, he may be greeting the damned goal in French, or greeting Clichy's heel!

It was just such a goal that decided the fate of Arsenal's second-tier team, and also destined Wenger to say goodbye to the League Cup. Although the old man didn't care much about the championship title, he was really upset about losing to his old enemy.

Especially when Ferguson came over after the game, the bright smile on his face made Wenger very depressed.

Losing a game doesn't mean the sky is falling, but Wenger doesn't want the loss to affect the atmosphere in the team.

Especially when the league is in the midway of wrestling, when he doesn't want to face Chelsea again, the gap in the standings will be widened by his opponent. If he is really left behind, it will definitely be a disaster.

Wenger doesn't know whether the two-line battle will bring down Chelsea, but if Arsenal has been catching up in the league, Wenger knows very well that such a protracted battle will definitely wear down their fragile nerves.

Whether he is willing to admit it or not, this is an unchangeable fact. Chelsea, the leader, really makes Wenger very afraid. The tough Mourinho and the crazy Lin Yi make him a little bit on thin ice.

What's terrible is that Henry's recent state is a bit unstable. After the high-yield period at the beginning of the season, the number one killer in France has also begun to fall into a downturn. He will also start to make mistakes in the kind of shots that are usually sure.

I hope this guy can adjust his mentality within ten days, otherwise, Wenger really needs to find another way to solve his team's offensive problems.

Arsenal vs. Birmingham, Chelsea vs. Newcastle United. Before the two strong teams meet, they all have the last chance to sharpen their knives. It will be a battle for the top of the list. . .
