Chapter 804 The midfielder is easy to block, but Su Dong is hard to defend!
The morning after Manchester City beat Leahy in Poznan, Arsene Wenger arrived at Arsenal's Colney training ground with bloodshot eyes.

Assistant coach Pat Rice was visibly surprised when he saw him.

The grooves on the Frenchman's face seemed to be getting deeper and more wrinkled, and his whole body lost the elegance of the past.

It's more of a thick, unresolved anxiety.

This is also normal. The head coach is a very high-pressure job. Over the years, Ferguson has a pacemaker in his heart.

"Didn't rest well last night?" Pat Rice and Wenger have been partners for many years, and he knows Wenger's daily routine very well.

The French seem to belong to the kind of people who are easily worried. As long as there is something on their minds, they will easily lose sleep.

In this regard, Ferguson is much better than Wenger. The old Scottish man obviously has the kind of big heart that can be used as a quilt when the sky falls, and there is no such thing as insomnia at all.

In Ferguson's view, no matter how serious insomnia is, there is no glass of red wine that can't solve it.

If there is, then two glasses.

"It's not that I didn't rest well, it's that I didn't sleep at all." Wenger said weakly.

Pat Rice had an expression that I knew it would be like this, walked over, poured a cup of hot boiling water for Wenger, put it in front of Wenger, and said earnestly: "Anyway, you should pay more attention to rest, you are not young."

Wenger is already 61.

The most important thing for the elderly at this age is to sleep.

A night without sleep is like taking half your life away.

Look at the current Wenger, isn't he just sluggish?

"How about, I will watch the training in the morning, and you go to sleep in it?" Pat Rice suggested.

Wenger shook his head, "No, the war is coming, we must pay attention, the morale of the army cannot be shaken."

The current situation in the Premier League is very interesting. After nine rounds of matches, Manchester City has an unbeaten record of nine games, eight wins and one draw, accumulating 25 points, ranking first in the Premier League, followed by Chelsea with 22 points.

The leads of these two teams are very obvious.

After that, both Manchester United and Arsenal had [-] points, a full eight points behind Manchester City at the top of the list.

In other words, if Arsenal can't defeat Manchester City in this weekend's game, Blue Moon is likely to continue to lead, and even if the Gunners defeat Manchester City, Chelsea will be the cheapest.

Ancelotti's team has performed too well this season. If it weren't for Su Dong leading Manchester City to attack Chelsea, it is estimated that this team will still maintain an unbeaten record.

As for Sudong's Manchester City, it is both reasonable and unexpected.

In fact, as early as last season, in the circle of Premier League coaches, they were very interested in Manchester City under the coach of Guardiola.

On the other hand, Manchester City's offense is very weak, and Santa Cruz can't afford the mainstay of Manchester City's offense.

Therefore, when Su Dong joined Manchester City this summer, the response from the English coaching circle was very strong. Most people believed that Manchester City is likely to rise strongly this season.

It's just that no one thought that Manchester City's rise would come so quickly.

Even don't give the opponent any chance at all.

Guardiola is still the Guardiola of last season, but after Su Dong joined, Manchester City is no longer the Manchester City of last season.

Eight league rounds, fifteen goals, eight assists, Su Dong scored as many goals in the first eight rounds as Chelsea's team combined, what is this concept?
It is equivalent to saying that he almost single-handedly swept the vast majority of Manchester City's goals.

This is due to Guardiola's tactics, but it is also a manifestation of Su Dong's personal ability.

Without Su Dong's super personal ability, Manchester City would not be able to score so many goals, and it would only be like last season.

But Su Dong provoked a burden that Santa Cruz could not afford!

What's more, he scored a hat-trick against Poznan Lech in midweek.

David Silva was elected as the best player of the game. Although he performed well, he is a midfielder and Su Dong is a center forward.

The midfielder is easy to block, but Su Dong is hard to defend!
……

"Last night, I thought about it all night."

After Wenger took a sip of the hot water, he became a little more energetic, but he still looked old.

"Have you figured out a way?" Pat Rice asked with concern.

Wenger shook his head helplessly, "I kept deducing various situations in my mind, but in the end I encountered the same deadlock, that is, what should we use to defend Su Dong?"

This is not only Wenger's entanglement, but also a world-class problem.

Almost all teams in the world will struggle with this problem before they meet Su Dong.

And in these years, no team has really frozen Sudong.

This is the most depressing thing!
Sudong is even more terrifying than Drogba, at least Drogba's shooting is terrible.

"Julu has fought against Sudong before, and he didn't take advantage. Squillage also played against Sudong before, and he didn't take advantage." Pat Rice also felt very helpless. "The two central defenders have played against Sudong, but they can both contain him."

"Yeah!" Wenger sighed, with mixed feelings, "If we let two central defenders defend Su Dong, what will happen to the defense? Manchester City's pass-and-control style of play will completely tear our defense to shreds."

Pat Rice nodded helplessly, which is also the problem when encountering Su Dong's team.

Should Su Dong be treated specially?
With Su Dong's personal ability, neither of the two defensive players may be able to stop him. If someone is specially arranged to guard him, it will definitely affect the overall defensive order of the team, but if he does not specially arrange someone to defend, Su Dong can always create opportunities.

In fact, not only Su Dong, but also Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

It's just that in comparison, Su Dong is more threatening and has a stronger scoring ability.

"By the way, is the referee out yet?" Wenger asked.

"Mark Clattenburg."

"It's him!" Wenger's eyes flashed with color, "If I remember correctly, he was the one who enforced the law when we played Manchester City away last season, right?"

"Yes." Pat Rice nodded, "We won that game."

Clattenburg's most famous game was the Merseyside Derby in [-]. In that game, he sent off two Everton players and gave Liverpool two penalties.

It is precisely because of such a brilliant resume that Clattenburg's law enforcement is always accompanied by controversy.

There is a saying among outside fans that there are three Musketeers in the Premier League refereeing circle: Cardinal Mark Clattenburg, North London sniper Mike Dean, and Atkinson the Scourge.

You can guess from their nicknames that these three Premier League international referees are all known for misjudgments and misjudgments. They have all made major mistakes and are remembered by fans and the media. Among them, the reason why Clattenburg is called a cardinal is because of the red card.

It is precisely because the three musketeers enforce the Premier League that many media and fans believe that the low level of referees in the Premier League has become the biggest obstacle restricting the development of the Premier League.

Many people are looking forward to when the seven Dragon Balls are collected, the Premier League will be able to summon Shenlong and dominate the world football!
Wenger doesn't know now whether it is good or bad for Arsenal to have Clattenburg refereeing the game.

I always feel that it is not a good thing!
…………

…………

With the end of the Champions League and Europa League matches, the media and fans began to gradually shift their attention to the Premier League.

The next ninth round of the Premier League will usher in a focus game, Manchester City sits at home against Arsenal.

This is sure to be a showdown!

And it is a collision and contest between two teams with the most technical playing styles in the Premier League.

However, before this strong dialogue, Manchester United first came out to grab the headlines.

The British Sun published a photo of Ferguson with Rooney on his shoulders, both smiling from ear to ear, telling everyone that Rooney successfully renewed his contract with Manchester United.

This immediately triggered a fierce response in English football.

Manchester United's official website quickly gave the news, confirmed the outside rumors and announced the successful renewal of Wayne Rooney.

Although Manchester United officially did not disclose the specific details of the contract, the pervasive media quickly dug up various inside stories, including Rooney's salary after the contract renewal.

Before the contract renewal, Rooney's weekly salary was 25 pounds, but after the contract renewal, his weekly salary rose to [-] pounds.

Without much negotiating leverage, Manchester United chose to accept the request made by Rooney and his agent.

25 pounds, converted into an annual salary of 300 million pounds, which made Rooney far surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo, who received an annual salary of 300 million euros, and became the second highest salary in world football after Sudong.

This makes Rooney very happy, because he has always been eager to prove that he is better than Cristiano Ronaldo.

Although he failed to prove this on the court, Rooney is very happy and excited to be able to overwhelm the Portuguese in terms of annual salary.

As for Su Dong, Rooney definitely didn't dare to think about it.

Although so far, the outside world has not obtained any detailed figures about Su Dong's annual salary, but it is revealed from clues that Su Dong's annual salary can never be less than 3000 million pounds, and it is after tax.

In other words, after Rooney renewed his contract, it is impossible to catch up with Su Dong's back after killing a few horses.

However, being able to renew Rooney's contract is a worry for Manchester United.

Rooney and his agent also opened everyone's eyes. They really relied on the contract, relying on the momentum and operation to force Manchester United to submit, and finally got the sky-high contract as they wished.

After the contract renewal, Rooney also changed the subject and began to express his loyalty to Manchester United.

He promised that he had come out of the turmoil of the past period of time, and got Colin's forgiveness at home, which allowed him to focus more on the game, and he hoped to lead Manchester United to a counterattack in the standings.

"All of us are confident that we can win the Premier League this season!"

"We've always been good at coming back after tailgating!"
