heir to the red devil

Chapter 1081 The end of an era!

At three o'clock in the afternoon that day, the Manchester United team had just completed the indoor tactical analysis and explanation. This kind of work is usually done by Scholes. His understanding of the game is also world-class, so every time the tactical analysis , the players have benefited a lot from Scholes' comments.

In this tactical analysis course, the match between Bayern and Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Champions League was used. Scholes conducted a targeted analysis of Real Madrid's tactics, especially Bayern's tactical play and the successful restraint against Manchester City , are detailed.

After the analysis, the players leave the video analysis room and return to the training ground. After a 15-minute break, they will conduct set-piece training.

Just as Scholes was about to turn off the TV, Kintag stopped him: "Paul, don't turn off the TV, it's almost three o'clock now, just watch Wenger's press conference. Anyway, the players are also resting, so let's take a rest too. "

Scholes was a little puzzled, why Jin Taige would be so interested in Wenger's press conference?
With an expression that I know, Phelan proudly said to Scholes: "Don't forget, we are about to usher in the FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal. Tiger must be planning to watch it in advance. What did Wenger do?"

Scholes still didn't understand: "Wenger's press conference this time is because he and Monaco have drawn the Europa League semi-final opponent. It has nothing to do with domestic competitions? What can we see from this."

At this time, Jin Taige shook his head: "This press conference is not ordinary, and it has nothing to do with Monaco."

With the memory from later generations, Kintag knew exactly what was going to happen.

Scholes and Phelan were dubious, and they both sat down and watched the press conference together.

Today is April 2018, 4. At the press conference, Wenger arrived on time.As usual, he sat in the middle, and sitting next to him was Kroenke, Arsenal's largest shareholder.There are many reporters in the audience, it seems that Wenger's influence is still top-notch.

The press conference started on time.This time, no one else spoke, and there was no routine. Wenger took the microphone and spoke slowly.

"On September 1996, 9, I joined the Arsenal club, and it has been 30 years. When I joined Arsenal, I used to fantasize about a bright future, but I was a conservative person. I never imagined that I could lead Arsenal to win so many championships and victories. We have created an era of artistic football, and the Arsenal team has produced many world-class stars. These years are the most precious in my life wealth."

Hearing Wenger's words, the reporters in the audience were a little dazed.

What's happening here?Why did Wenger say these words?

The reporters looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all had a premonition in their hearts at this moment—maybe something big will happen!

As journalists who have been reporting on the front line of football for many years, they know very well that when a head coach says this, it may mean that something is about to happen...

Wenger paused for a moment, his lips did not move, and finally said the difficult words.

"After careful consideration and discussions with the club, I feel it is time to leave the team at the end of the season."

"I have been honored to have served the club for so many years and I have managed this team with all my commitment and integrity. I would like to thank everyone, the players, the board, and the fans, for making this club special. I hope The fans can stand behind the team and support them to the top, so that everyone who loves Arsenal can pay attention to the value of this team. My love and support will always be there."

When Wenger finished speaking, Kroenke took over the microphone: "This is one of the most difficult moments in our sport, Wenger is a manager at a very high level, everyone who loves Arsenal and everyone who loves Arsenal. Everyone in football should pay tribute to him. He changed the definition of Arsenal and English football through his own understanding of football. We hope that Arsenal fans around the world can give one of the greatest figures in Arsenal history the due Praise!"

Almost no one heard Kroenke's words. At this moment, whether it was Arsenal fans or others, all eyes were on Wenger's face.

The 68-year-old Wenger was sitting there, his face still showing elegance and peace, and almost everything that happened in front of him was as usual.He is still the professor, but we are not that us anymore.

Such a passage suddenly appeared in Jin Taige's mind, and he instantly remembered many things in the past.

He remembered the energetic young smiling face when he first arrived at Arsenal.

He thought of that magical season, Wenger led Arsenal to create an unbeaten league.

He thought of those years, when Manchester United and Arsenal competed alternately for the championship, Wenger and Ferguson competed to shine in the British arena.

He remembered that because of his existence, there was a whirlwind of artistic football in England.

Looking back on it years later, it was an amazing time.

Since then, Arsenal has gradually gone downhill.

Selling captains every year without money to buy people, tightening belts in order to build a new stadium, the curse that began to collapse in February, and the title of "Four Mad Devils" that has been molested by netizens for a long time...

Maybe everyone has expected this day, but when this day comes, people are still caught off guard and dejected.

Arsenal has produced many well-known figures, such as Henry, Pires, Cesc Fabregas, Van Persie...these names are well-known figures in international football, and they are all favorite players under Wenger.

But when we mention Arsenal, many people think of Wenger first.

Wenger is Arsenal and Arsenal is Wenger.

When Sir Alex Ferguson retired, everyone believed that Wenger would follow in Ferguson's footsteps and die in England, becoming a legend of the generation.

But unexpectedly, the 22 years of Arsenal time will finally come to an end.

It's like a pair of lovers who are about to break up, and both parties feel extremely heartbroken and heartbroken.

Wenger's departure is not just his breakup with Arsenal, but a painful farewell between him and all Arsenal fans, all Premier League fans, and even all football lovers.

When the next season, there is no professor on the Arsenal coaching bench, is the Gunner still the same Gunner?
If years later, you and I meet again, how will we face it?With tears, with silence...

Jin Taige stood up, reached out and turned off the TV, and the room fell into a moment of silence.He looked out the window, where the clouds were overcast, and there seemed to be signs of a storm.

Jin Taige sighed softly, and said slowly: "Wenger is gone, an era is over..."
