Legendary Godfather

012: Leaving is for the return of the king

Tong Yi couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that Senderos was a little naive.

If he remembers correctly, Senderos did stay at Arsenal this summer. But he only stayed at Arsenal for half a season, and during this half-season, Senderos only had two appearances in the English League Cup.

More importantly, in the winter, Wenger signed back the 35-year-old veteran Campbell and did not use Senderos.

Campbell has made 11 Premier League appearances since returning to Arsenal, and also has 2 Champions League appearances.

It can be seen that Wenger really does not think highly of Senderos.

Of course, there is a reason for this.

I think back then, Wenger also attached great importance to Senderos, and even trained Senderos as the core of the future defense. He even passed the No. 6 jersey of Arsenal's legendary central defender Tuobany Adams to Senderos. Dros.

At the beginning, Senderos' performance was also very outstanding and amazing, which was worthy of Wenger's attention.

At that time, Senderos had squeezed Campbell away, and was one of the creators of Arsenal's record of not conceding a goal in 10 consecutive games. He also set a record of 1,184 consecutive minutes of not conceding a goal for Arsenal and the Swiss national team, which is worthy of the record. Called the best young central defender nowadays.

At that time, Arsenal fans regarded Senderos as the future of the team and a future legend.

But who knew the situation would take a turn for the worse.

At that time, the obstacle that blocked Senderos from becoming a world-class central defender appeared - top striker Didier Drogba!

It is this African monster that repeatedly allows Senderos to become the backdrop for his goals.

Many people even said that Drogba completely shattered Senderos' confidence.

Senderos first became Drogba's background in the 2005 English Community Shield. Drogba scored twice in the game to help the team beat Arsenal 2-1. The key point is Drogba's second goal. In the 57th minute of the game, Drogba broke through Senderos's interception head-on, causing Senderos to flip over and become embarrassed, while Drogba was relaxed. Putting the football into Arsenal's goal.

Many people say that the scene in which Drogba ruthlessly crushed Senderos during the game was the beginning of Senderos' confidence collapse and the beginning of Wenger giving up on Senderos.

Two weeks later in the Premier League, Chelsea and Arsenal met again, and the embarrassed Senderos once again became the backdrop for Drogba's goal.

And that victory ended Chelsea's embarrassing record of eight years without defeating Arsenal in the Premier League, and it was another blow to Senderos's shaken confidence.

It was the third collision between the two that completely shattered Senderos' confidence.

In the 2006-2007 English League Cup final, under the premise that the two sides were tied one to one, in the 87th minute of the game, facing the impact of Drogba, Senderos panicked and became confused, and his judgment on the placement of the football appeared. The mistake allowed Drogba to seize the opportunity and easily complete the victory. Not only did their opponents win the League Cup, but they also left the favorites stranded without a title for many years.

Under a spell.

This not only completely shattered Senderos' confidence, but also shattered Wenger's expectations for Senderos.

Since then, Wenger has ignored Senderos and even sent Senderos out of the squad and loaned him to AC Milan. In AC Milan, Senderos had very few playing opportunities. After the one-year loan ended, AC Milan also gave up the idea of ​​buying out Senderos for 8 million pounds, allowing Senderos to return to Arsenal.

After that, Senderos, who returned to Arsenal, only got 2 League Cup appearances in half a season. He was loaned to Everton in the winter and only got 3 appearances. In the summer of 2010, he moved to Fulham on a free transfer and only made three appearances in the first season.

Senderos' career quickly declined, even to the point of bottoming out.

Of course, Tong Yi doesn't quite agree with everyone's statement. Senderos was not completely defeated by Drogba.

In Tong Yi's view, Drogba is one of the reasons for Senderos' decline in strength, but not all.

Senderos' decline in strength is also related to his frequent injuries. He had several injuries in his early days at Arsenal, and even had one or two serious injuries. Then in the 2006 World Cup in Germany, he was also seriously injured and did not slowly return until November of that year. Even when he was loaned to AC Milan and Everton, his injuries were recurring. Even in his first season at Fulham, he only played 3 games because of injuries.

What really made Senderos sink was injuries.

After all, in Tong Yi's memory, Senderos played 21 times in the Premier League in his second and third seasons at Fulham. Coupled with appearances in the League Cup and FA Cup, his number of appearances was almost 30. , can be regarded as the absolute main force of Fulham.

At that time, Fulham was also a mid-table team in the Premier League, and Senderos's level was naturally at the top of the Premier League.

Therefore, without the impact of injuries, Senderos' strength and situation would never be what they are now.

The healthy Senderos played the main role in Munich 1860 and made more mistakes. Coupled with the training and assistance of the experienced Campbell, it may not be impossible for Senderos to rise again.

Therefore, Tong Yi is really optimistic about Senderos and really wants to introduce Senderos.

And more importantly, Wenger is definitely not willing to give Senderos another chance at this time.

Isn't this his opportunity for Tong Yi?

But what he didn't expect was that Senderos was so obsessed with staying at Arsenal, which was a bit difficult for Tong Yi to handle.

Staring at the determined Senderos in front of him, Tong Yi sighed and persuaded, "I am very moved by your determination and persistence. However, this cannot change your current situation. If you stay at Arsenal, you will It's a waste of time. You should know very well that what you need now is a chance to compete."

Senderos lowered his head and said nothing.

Tong Yi was a little anxious. He immediately said, "There is such a saying circulating in the outside world. I wonder if you have heard of it?"

Senderos looked at Tong Yi in confusion, wondering why he suddenly said this, "What's that?"

Tong Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "External fans and media believe that Senderos' decline in strength is due to Drogba. It was Drogba who personally ruined your career..."

"You fart!"

Senderos suddenly interrupted Tong Yi angrily, staring at Tong Yi with eyes that were like spitting fire.

Senderos - defense broken!

Tong Yi said lightly, "I also know that this is nonsense, but media reporters and fans don't think so. They are happy to spread such legends. You should know that the English media and fans are good, as long as you stay here , they will never tire of mentioning this matter, especially when you are about to play against Drogba..."

Senderos's breathing was rapid, and the expression on his face was uncertain.

He is very clear about the ethics of the English media and fans. He knows that Tong Yi does not speak freely, and he can also imagine the scene in Tong Yi's words.

This made him very unhappy.

Thinking of this, Senderos looked at his right leg and pinched the knee of his right leg hard with his right hand.

I, Senderos, was not defeated by Drogba.

However, who can believe it?

Why!

Senderos sighed.

Seeing this, Tong Yi continued, "So, you should not stay here, or even stay in a place where there is too much attention. You need a relatively quiet playing environment, a pure playing environment. This will allow your body and mind to slowly recover... And the attention of Bundesliga 2 is very low, which allows you to stay away from these disputes and play football with peace of mind... I believe that under such circumstances, you will be able to quickly Return to the top..."

Bruns frowned slightly. He felt that Tong Yi was deceiving Senderos.

The attention of Bundesliga 2 may be low, but after you, a Chinese, join, Munich 1860's attention will definitely not be low. However, he also thinks that Tong Yi is right. Senderos is now more suitable to go to a place with low public attention, stay away from right and wrong, and recover quietly.

Senderos himself felt that what Tong Yi said made sense.

In the Premier League and even Serie A, his every move is magnified. Even when he was in Serie A, he heard rumors that Senderos was crushed by Drogba. He also had to admit that these did have some impact on his psychology.

After pondering for a while, Senderos said, "You may be right, but I will not escape. I will not leave Arsenal in such a dejected manner."

Tong Yi felt that Senderos was a bit stubborn.

Tong Yi immediately said earnestly, "Leaving is not about running away, but for the return of the king!"

These words made Bruns feel angry.

Senderos pondered for a while, and then said, "Are you so sure that I can return as a king? Instead of sinking outside?"

The corners of Tong Yi's lips raised slightly, and he could tell that Senderos was already a little moved.

He immediately said, "I have confidence in you, and I am very optimistic about you, otherwise I wouldn't chase you here."

Senderos was full of gratitude for Tong Yi's attention and appreciation, and his heart was filled with warmth.

Tong Yi continued, "And I am very confident in my medical team. You may not know that I studied sports medicine at Cologne Sport University. And my medical team is also a team of my alumni, who are all engaged in sports medicine and For research on sports injury recovery and sports physiotherapy, if you join us at Munich 1860, your injury recovery is guaranteed, and I believe that a healthy you will definitely take off again."

Tong Yi is not lying, because his bright eye has already seen that Senderos's potential has reached 179, exactly the same as Matic.

As long as Senderos is healthy, he will definitely be able to reach this level.

To be honest, Senderos was really moved when he heard this.

Only he himself knows how badly he has been tortured by injuries over the years. Only he himself knows how much he wants to have a healthy body.

If Tong Yi's medical team is really so good, then why not join Munich 1860?

Senderos said in surprise, "Really?"

Tong Yi immediately said, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, you can ask my assistant Bruns."

Senderos immediately looked at Bruns eagerly, and Bruns was secretly angry. I know a ghost, you ask me? He felt that Tong Yi was really lying to Senderos. However, at this time, he and Tong Yi were on the same boat, so naturally he would not reveal Tong Yi's background.

Therefore, Bruns nodded slightly.

Senderos's eyes lit up and he was a little excited.

At this time, Tong Yi continued, "Also, our Munich 1860 has just signed Campbell. I believe that with the help of your seniors, the day when you can return to the top is really not far away."

Senderos was shocked and asked, "You signed Saul?"

Tong Yi said, "Yes, and he also promised me that he will do his best to help you. I believe that his experience and ability can definitely bring your strength to a higher level."

If there was still some hesitation before, after hearing Tong Yi's words, Senderos' last hesitation disappeared. Because he heard from Tong Yi's words that Tong Yi valued him. He didn't expect that Tong Yi had done so much for him?

Senderos instantly felt like a confidant would die.

He stared at Tong Yi with sharp eyes and said solemnly, "I am willing to join Munich 1860."
