Chapter 392

"The team doctor is incompetent and affects the whole army."

"The most important position for the Gunners is the team doctor!"

"The veterinarian is mighty and domineering, and the factory fans are kneeling!"

……

There are a lot of doubts like this, whether in England or in China.After four players were injured one after another, many people pointed the finger at the Gunners' team doctors directly, questioning their professional ability and accusing them of doing nothing to deal with the Gunners' injury wave.

For a time, Arsenal's team doctors became the target of public criticism and encountered criticism from all sides.

However, for questions and responsibilities like this, the Gunners' team doctor has already made a fuss about it.

In the past, they have heard even worse complaints than this.

Therefore, the doubts from the outside world did not cause too much trouble to their work.

In an interview with the media, Arsenal team doctor Colin.Levine attributed the team's injuries to the overly dense league schedule.

In the past three months, the team has played too many games, the players are in a very tired state, and injuries are natural.

In fact, apart from Arsenal, other Premier League teams have suffered injuries to varying degrees.Arsenal are not in the best condition, but they are not among the teams most affected by injuries.

So, Colin.Levine does not believe that the team doctor should bear the main responsibility for the Gunners' injury wave.

Finding the truth of things is always difficult, and choosing a scapegoat as the target of crusade is often the easiest way.

So, whatever Colin.How Levin explained, he and his medical team have become the target of criticism from the media and fans.

A large number of letters are sent to the Gunners club every day, asking Arsenal's board members to fire the existing team doctor and find a higher level team doctor for the team.

The team doctor turmoil is still going on, and there is no final result for a while.

For Buffon and his teammates, it's not about complaining about the team doctor or bad luck.They need to think of a way, how to maintain the vitality of the team in the absence of key players, and continue to win the next game.

Life goes on and so does the game.

Soon, after accepting the game against Aston Villa, the Gunners ushered in their next opponent, Schalke 04.

This game is not important for the Gunners, because they have already locked the top spot in this group.No matter how the game ends, they will qualify as top of the group.

For Schalke 04, this game is their battle of life and death.

In the last round of the Champions League group stage, Schalke 04 drew with Juventus in an away game.In this way, after 5 rounds, their record is 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss, with 6 points, ranking second in the group.

同组的尤文图斯是1胜2平2负，积5分，排名第三；里尔是1胜1平3负，积4分，排名小组垫底。

Although Schalke 04 is No.2 in the group, he is 9 points away from the top-ranked Arsenal, while Lille, who is at the bottom of the group, is only two points ahead.

That is to say, except for Arsenal, which has secured the top spot in the group, all the other three teams in this group have a chance to qualify.

In the last round, Schalke 04 was a guest at the Chiefs to challenge the mighty Arsenal.

If they lose to the Gunners, then they are likely to be eliminated.If there is a tie, then Schalke 04 can only hope that the match between Lille and Juventus is also a draw, otherwise, they still have no chance of qualifying.

If they want to take the initiative to qualify in their own hands, they must go all out to beat Arsenal, so as to lock the No.2 in the group and get the last place to qualify.

Before the game, the German media were cheering for Schalke 04, encouraging them to give it a go in the away game.

The German media believes that Schalke 04 is not without hope of winning against Arsenal, which is full of wounded soldiers and lacks motivation.

The Italian media put pressure on Arsenal one after another, hoping that the British team will uphold the spirit of fair play and go all out to defeat Schalke 04, so as to win their hope of qualifying for Juventus.

In today's UEFA Champions League, Italy has a total of three teams participating, namely Sampdoria, Juventus and AC Milan, which won the top three in the league last year.

After selling off most of the team's main players, Sampdoria's strength has plummeted, and it has already been eliminated one round ahead of schedule.

AC Milan is still fighting for qualification, but the hope of competing for the first place in the group is not great.

Because of Ibrahimovic, Thiago.Silva and other players have left one after another, and the strength of AC Milan has been seriously affected.Even if they survived the group stage, in the knockout rounds, there is not much room for them to move on.

Among the top three teams, the only one whose strength has increased is Juventus.

Therefore, for Juventus, the Italians have high hopes.

They hope that Juventus, which is based on the national team players, can make a difference in the Champions League. It will not only gain some face for Italian football, but also help Serie A earn some European points.

However, Juventus' current qualifying situation is not optimistic.

Due to the two home and away games against Buffon's Arsenal, now they must fight for No.2 in the group.Moreover, whether they can get No.2, the initiative is not in their own hands, but in the hands of Arsenal.

Will Arsenal help them?

The Italian media is hoping so.

They also hope that Buffon, who has come out of Serie A, can help them and use his influence to kill the Germans and keep Juventus' hope of qualifying.

However, for such news, Buffon just smiled casually.

Counting on a group of non-Italian players to work hard for Juventus?
This must be an illusion!
To be honest, Buffon really doesn't want the Juventus group to be eliminated, it is best not to even qualify for the Europa League.

Help them intercept Schalke 04?

What an international joke, Buffon is an Italian and has been in Juventus for so long, of course he is willing but!

To be honest, Buffon is quite tangled.He wants to win every game, but he doesn't want to cheap Juventus.

If you let him play match-fixing and let him deliberately release water in the game, Juventus may be good at this kind of thing, but Buffon really can't do it, he is not so shameless.

How to do?
Buffon didn't have any good moves for a while.

However, he just struggled for a day.The next day, he didn't bother anymore.

Because, in the next game, he has no chance to play at all.

He's been rotated!
In this game against Schalke 04, most of the Gunners sent were not their main players.

The team doctor told Wenger that Buffon's current physical condition is not bad, but after all he is old and his body is already in decline.For older players, it is better not to participate in too many games.Frequent competitions will only be harmful to their bodies and will not help them much.

Rosicky, is an obvious example.

Therefore, in this game against Schalke 04, Wenger carried out a large-scale rotation.

Buffon, Wilshere, Arteta, Koscielny, Sarnia, Li Yuxin, these core players who participated in a lot of games are the objects of the professor's key protection.

Anyway, the outcome of this game is not important, Wenger simply played as a substitute plus youth team players.

Fair play?

Can fair play bring Bale, Theo Walcott, Vermaelen and others back from injury?
A lot of our players are injured and tired, why should we try our best in an irrelevant game to fight for the right to qualify for another irrelevant team?We still have to play in the league and fight for the championship!

Wenger simply ignored the pressure exerted by the Italian media.

For Wenger, he must first consider the interests of his own team.As for other teams, he doesn't take it too seriously.

As a result, Juventus was a tragedy.

Because, Arsenal, who played with substitutes and young players, did not win Schalke 04.

Although the players who played the game worked very hard, after all, Schalke 04 played with all the main force, and they still fought with their backs. Therefore, the Gunners were defeated by the Germans who played in a mourning posture.

After winning Arsenal, Schalke's record became 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, accumulating 9 points, and locked the group No.2.

Although Juventus swept Lille with a score of 5:0, it did not change the reality that they were eliminated from the Champions League.

After this round of competition, Arsenal and Schalke 04 qualified together, and Juventus had to go to the UEFA Cup to report.In the Europa League, their old enemy Inter Milan is still waiting for them.

After the game, the Italian media generally criticized Arsenal and Wenger, thinking that they deliberately released water and framed Juventus.

In their view, the facts are already very clear.

Xue Zang Buffon and other main players played in Schalke 04 with a lineup mainly of young players. Arsenal obviously deliberately let Juventus leave the Champions League and gave the Germans the group qualification.

"It's shameless to do that!"

"Appeal! Scandal in the Champions League!"

The Italian media collectively went berserk.

Li Yuxin sneered in response to the noise from the Italians on Twitter.

"Strange? Juventus also has the nerve to say that others play match-fixing? Serie A can also say that other games are dark? This world is getting more and more strange!"

At the same time, Bell also sent a message on Twitter.

"If you have the ability, you can also qualify one round earlier. Relying on other people's charity to qualify, has this become your tradition?"

Sharp counterattack!

Li Yuxin's response pointed directly at the gambling and manipulating referees in Serie A, while Bell's message brought back the unbearable memories of the Italians in the last few world competitions.

If your skills are not as good as others, don't rely on others.

If they can't win Arsenal, they may say that the team is not strong enough.But if they can win Schalke 04, why bother to look at Arsenal's face?

Juventus was eliminated from the group, which is entirely their own fault!
