Chapter 331: After the Storm
Because since the Naples game, the media's attention has been on Li Zihan, Ozil and the two-polarity or even multi-polarization of the Arsenal dressing room. As for the schedule, it is of course not as important as gossip in the media's mind.

The video of the AFC Awards Ceremony before the game has spread all over the country, and everyone knows that the feud between Li Zihan and Ozil is a rumor.Only a few media still insist that there is a problem with Arsenal's dressing room, and the atmosphere in the team is not harmonious. They still decide to dig deep into the ground. For example, "The Sun".

And other media who don't want to continue to entangle this issue have turned their guns around.He actually started to praise Li Zihan, expressing how Li Zihan's tenacity and desire for victory in the game against Naples had sportsmanship and professional ethics.

They actually forgot that just a day ago they criticized Li Zihan for being too "independent" in the team and could not tolerate other talented players.

What Li Zihan didn't expect was that there were quite a few domestic media reposting and following suit, saying that Li Zihan became a "ball tyrant" with some achievements!
"Ball bully" is a unique word in Chinese football, and it is not a good word!
For these media, Li Zihan memorized their names one by one, and if he wanted to interview something in the future, he would just send them two words—"No time!"

'Don't you guys like to repost?After that, you can go to other newspapers to reprint the news about me! '

In this round of the league, Arsenal is a guest in Wales, facing the newly promoted Welsh team Cardiff City.Originally, such a game with such a disparity in strength was not easy to attract the attention of the media and broadcasters. After all, there are two big games such as Tottenham vs. Manchester United and Chelsea vs. Southampton in this round.

But because of Li Zihan and Ozil, this game actually attracted a lot of media to report and watch the game, but... this game is destined to disappoint them.

Because there are no Li Zihan, Ozil, or even Podolski, Ramsey and others in the 18-man list.

For such a question, the reporter asked Wenger during the pre-match press conference.And Wenger looked at the reporter who asked this question like an idiot, and then said that Arsenal fought too hard in the last game against Naples, and many of the main players were physically weak. A round against Cardiff City Arsenal will use the rotation.

That's right, everyone saw the fighting and running of the Arsenal players in the last game. For example, Li Zihan was carried off on a stretcher with leg cramps, so it is natural to use rotation, not to mention there are The final battle of life and death awaits Arsenal.

As the biggest contributor to Cardiff City's promotion to the Premier League, coach McKay's life is actually not easy now.Twelve league rounds have passed, and Cardiff City is still ranked last.Although the task of the newly promoted horse in the first season is to avoid relegation, the current result is indeed what a newly promoted horse should have.

But the owner of Cardiff City doesn't think so. The wealthy Malaysian businessman and Andy Lau's wife's uncle, Chen Zhiyuan, have invested a lot in the transfer market this season, and they can be ranked above the mid-range teams in the Premier League and below the upstream teams.

Therefore, it is impossible for Chen Zhiyuan, who paid a lot of money, to be satisfied with this result, and if he doesn't rush to grab points now, it will be even more difficult to relegation after the winter transfer is over.

Therefore, McKay's last chance is to grab as many points as possible before the winter transfer, so that he can keep his handsome position!
What hurts McKay's egg is that he encountered Manchester United in the last round and Arsenal in this round.Consecutive encounters with the two giants of the Premier League, it is difficult to grab points.Fortunately, unexpectedly in the last round against the defending champion Manchester United, they even drew the Red Devils [-]-[-] at home.

Between the draw with Manchester United in the last round, this gave Cardiff and their coach McKay strong confidence.Can score two goals for Manchester United, so what about Arsenal, which has always been a problem for the defense?

Even if you can't win, then a tie shouldn't be a problem, right?And it's at his own Cardiff Millennium Stadium.

However, the facts once again prove that the ideal is plump and the reality is skinny!
Just in Cardiff dreaming of playing Arsenal with a score of [-]-[-], [-]-[-], let alone Arsenal's rotation.

However, when the game ended, the whole Cardiff team looked at the dazzling bright red zero-to-three on the central monitor of the stadium, which was still a bit unacceptable.

"In this game, the Cardiff City team, which urgently needed three points to relegation, ushered in the Premier League giants Arsenal. The draw with the Red Devils in the last round of the league gave them full confidence in Arsenal, but Arsenal showed no mercy They gave the Cardiff Red Dragon a head-on blow with a hearty victory. Three to zero! I think Cardiff should be more sober now, and complete their relegation career in a down-to-earth manner. As for the giants For the team, one point for the defensive counterattack is enough, as for the counterattack, just watch this game, and the score will be clear!" After the game, the commentator of Sky Sports commented like this.

In the last Champions League game against Naples, Arsenal felt aggrieved.That game was not Arsenal itself's problem, but bad luck, and Arsenal's players worked hard and did not slack off.Not only Li Zihan, even iron men like Podolski and Modesat had cramp during the 95 minutes of extra time.

Therefore, this hearty master also made the entire Arsenal team let out a bad breath!
After the game, when the reporter asked about Li Zihan and Ozil again, Wenger couldn't stand it no matter how good-tempered he was: "I don't know that things are so simple now, what else is there to ask. We have no problems, although many people hope that we will have problems, but we are very united, we will twist into a hemp rope, and launch an impact on the championship. We are now number one in the league. We have been number one in the league for a long time this season. And our biggest goal is to keep it there until the end of the season, that's it."

After speaking, Wenger got up and left the post-match press conference.

At the end of the game, Wenger gave the entire Arsenal team a day off. The game during this period was very tight, and it was also a relatively important game for Arsenal, so Wenger had to maintain the physical strength and state of the players.And seeing that the famous Christmas game in the Premier League is coming.

The next day, a reporter photographed Li Zihan, Ozil and some other Arsenal first-team players eating at a local Chinese restaurant in London.

In this way, it will make Arsenal's dressing room even more discordant, and the rumors of polarization will be self-defeating.

Of course, none of this is a problem for a "genius" reporter like the famous "Li Hei" Richard Sanchez.

Didn't you refute the rumor?Aren't you reconciled?Didn't you say there is no problem?
Well, aren't you having dinner together today?I don't believe you can have more than 20 people in the first team after a meal.Any player who didn’t come to this meal, then there is a problem with you, and the relationship is not good, so why did you invite Ozil, Podolski, Modesat, Wilshere, etc. to the meal, but they didn’t Please Arteta, Vermaelen, Cazorla and others!
So, when other newspapers and media were silent on the issue of Arsenal, Li Zihan and Ozil, Sanchez and his "Sun" persisted in their own (crazy) style as always!

On the second day after the meal, the Sun continued to publish articles targeting Arsenal.And also gave a list, a group of Arsenal players who came for dinner, and a group who didn't come, this is "polarization"!
Such an article, even Ozil are gnashing their teeth.

"I don't know why people are still holding on to this matter. Almost everyone knows the relationship between me and Li. And the atmosphere in the Arsenal team, the unity of the dressing room has always been one of the best in all European clubs , I don’t understand why a team that is rated as the best club and benchmark club in Europe by UEFA has some problems that don’t exist! I don’t want to say anything about this matter, because words are pale , Facts will eventually prove everything!" Ozil said when accepting his own national media "Kicker".

On December 14th, the No.[-] round of the league continued.In this round of the game, Arsenal arranged the vast majority of rotation players due to the life-and-death battle of the Champions League in the near future.

In this round, Arsenal sits at their home stadium, the Emirates Stadium, to usher in the Tigers-Hull City!

It is relatively easy for Arsenal to face teams in the relegation zone for two consecutive rounds.In this way, the arsenal can focus more on the Champions League, although this round of the Champions League faces Marseille, the weakest Ligue [-] team in the group and without a single point.

[-]-[-] in the first half, Arsenal took the lead temporarily, and Giroud scored a good header!

Fifteen minutes into the second half, that is, No. 15 minutes of the game, Wenger changed three players in a row.

Of course, he is not dissatisfied with his players, but
"Wenger changed three people in a row, Li Zihan, Ozil, Walcott came on, replaced Giroud, Wilshere and Cazorla! It seems that the professor is already warming up for the Champions League game against Marseille , although Marseille's performance in the Champions League is very poor, it is the only weak team in this group of death, but after all, it is also a key game that determines Arsenal's Champions League road this season. It's just a one-to-nil, so early Just make arrangements for the next game, isn't it a little early? In case of injury or something, isn't there no substitution quota?"
