Chapter 248 A big victory and a wine
Professor Wenger knew that Arsenal's defeat today was certain. 3:1 was not a despairing score. There were still about ten minutes left in the game. It was not long or short, so he just called it back and counted it in the football match.
Not a miracle.
But we have to separate our days. A situation like today, where Manchester City is completely suppressed from tactics to momentum, with no sign of a comeback, is not a situation that can be reversed.
Regarding Zhuoyang, Wenger is speechless. He has never been stingy with his attacking attributes against Arsenal. Germany, Italy and Spain, now that Zhuoyang has come to the Premier League, how will he live in the future?
The professor also realized that replacing Coquelin was a mistake. Ramsey and Xhaka could not form a synergy on the court, like two couples who share the same bed but have different dreams.
In fact, there is no need to observe at all, everyone can see that something is wrong with them, because after Zhuoyang scored a penalty kick to rewrite the score to 3:1, Ramsey and Xhaka had a brief quarrel on the court, and they seemed to be fighting each other.
accuse.
After Arsenal's counterattack failed, Sanchez also argued with Ramsey for a few words. Both of them had disdain on their faces. Maybe they couldn't hold it in anymore.
Sigh——, let’s adjust. After sighing, Wenger felt that he had to do something. Even if he couldn’t get the score back, he would never expand it. The days were still long, so he had to think about it for the future.
The 24-year-old Egyptian midfielder Elneny took the order and stood on the sidelines. He was ready to replace Ramsey. However, it was still too late.
In the 83rd minute, Zhuoyang retreated and returned to the wing to provide support. Xhaka and Ramsey, who were tired of each other, had a push-over in defense. Zhuoyang got rid of him and quickly started playing with Sagna.
Hemming.
After cutting inside, Zhuoyang single-handedly headed towards the empty ribs of Arsenal's defense, with only Chamberlain chasing him.
The young man was very fast, and Zhuo Yang's several changes of direction that tested his ankle and knee joints failed to get him away, but delayed him a little.
He made an emergency stop in the corner of the penalty area, and Zhuo Yang caught sight of Ramsey coming in a hurry from the corner of his eye. Not daring to neglect, he quickly moved toward the baseline, dodging Chamberlain and using him to pick and roll Ramsey.
Ramsey didn't care anymore. In his emotion, he let go of the flying tackle and didn't care about the penalty area at all.
Zhuoyang ducked down, Chamberlain was pushed upwards, Ramsey directly tackled his teammate to the ground, and lifted him up high. Chamberlain, who was in the air, even knocked down Zhuoyang who was dribbling the ball.
Atkinson's whistle sounded again. Let's not talk about the penalty kick. Chamberlain clutched his crotch and screamed in pain.
The game was suspended, and everyone was busy trying to save Chamberlain. What if the kid died? The team doctor treated him and found that his legs and crotch were fine, but he had strained his groin.
The team doctor made a substitution signal, and Wenger had no choice but to temporarily change the adjustment object and let Elneny replace Chamberlain. He came on as a substitute in the 59th minute, and was substituted again due to injury in the 84th minute. Chamberlain was really unlucky.
His glass-man attributes are clearly revealed.
Zhuo Yang was still expressing his dissatisfaction, because this time Atkinson didn't even give Ramsey a yellow card.
"Flying shovel! Flying shovel, referee. He shoveled everyone up as high as two stories, why don't you give him a red card?"
Atkinson wanted to say one more thing: Dear, I am shoveling my teammates, this thing is not in the code. But in the end he still did not explain, because players have a lot of shit, and Zhuo Yang is no exception.
Cech bet that Zhuo Yang would show off his spoon, but Zhuo Yang pushed the lower right corner steadily and scored twice on penalty kicks. Manchester City 4:1.
This is also the final score of the game.
In the whole game, Arsenal took 6 shots and one shot was on target and scored one goal. Manchester City took 17 shots and 7 shots were on target and scored 4 goals. Manchester City's ball possession rate was 63%. Arsenal's 37% was completely contrary to their football principles.
So in fact, it was not that Zhuo Yang went crazy and defeated Arsenal, but that the styles were incompatible. Arsenal, which pays attention to passing, controlling and counterattacking, encountered a team coached by Guardiola, the master of passing and controlling, and it was almost impossible not to suffer some losses.
If you want to defeat Manchester City, the key is not Zhuo Yang, Professor Wenger needs to find another way.
After the game, Zhuoyang, who was wearing Sanchez's red No. 7 jersey, came to invite Wenger for a drink. The professor politely declined. Guardiola came to invite him personally, but failed.
When you live to Wenger's level and age, you really don't have to cater to anything for the sake of etiquette, especially when you are in a bad mood.
Assistant coach Arteta simply said hello, knowing that the professor was a little dissatisfied with him.
In the first half of the year, Arteta was still the captain of Arsenal. After completing the last game of his career on May 16, he announced his retirement. Wenger thought highly of Arteta and invited him to be his assistant coach, but Arteta
However, Ta took the initiative to join Manchester City, a place he was unfamiliar with.
It can only be because of Guardiola. So it is self-evident whose football philosophy Arteta admires more. As a leading figure in today's coaching world, it is surprising that Wenger is happy.
People do not grow old slowly, but in an instant.
After Ferguson retired, Wenger's graceful temperament became more graceful. When he officially divorced his old wife Anne in the first half of this year, Wenger even had the spirit of a young man escaping from prison.
After today's 1:4 defeat, the professor watched Guardiola and Arteta chatting around Zhuo Yang, and looking at the energetic backs of the three young people, he suddenly realized that he was really old.
Under the lonely and melancholy night sky in Manchester, Wenger wanted to have a drink at this time, not with Zhuoyang and the others, but to get drunk alone.
Wenger never drank internal wine with Arsenal people. He was the first head coach in English football to explicitly propose and implement a ban on alcohol. In the British football world where alcohol is generally accepted, this move caused great criticism at the time.
Nowadays, professional players are prohibited from drinking or even drinking. It has long been the consensus in England and even the global football world, although men in the Premier League are still rushing to drink secretly.
Not counting the defeat of Manchester United in the League Cup this season, Manchester City defeated the Big6 and the top six teams for the first time in the league today, which is gratifying. After the game, Zhuo Yang took Guardiola and Arteta to have a drink secretly.
liquor.
Of course, the three of them are not like those bad drunkards who have no taste, and they only drink red wine that is not excessive. In fact, red wine is not within the prohibition of alcohol, otherwise it would be too unkind.
However, if you don’t drink Chinese liquor, don’t drink vodka, and don’t drink whiskey, is there nothing I can do to you?
Zhuoyang and Arteta tacitly fed Guardiola glass after glass of Spanish Grenache. Guardiola, who was in a good mood, also refused to accept anyone who came. He soon drifted off and started bragging about his youthful debauchery.
Regarding my love experience, I dare not let my sister-in-law Sera hear a word.
Arteta's knowledge at the wine table was too low. He only focused on teasing Guardiola with Zhuo Yang, but he didn't expect Zhuo Yang to drink him into a five-horse spear without making a move.
Arteta's wife is the beautiful 1999 Miss Spanish Beauty Pageant Lorena Bernal. He talked eloquently about the story of their date back then, even Zhuo Yang felt embarrassed when he heard it.
