As Arsenal and Liverpool matches get closer, the media starts to hype the scorer battle between Van Persie and Chen Yingxiong again. However, this time there is no effect.
Because Van Persie is no longer the same as Van Persie who scored 36 goals in a single season. His good condition and health have only maintained two seasons. This season he has suffered from injuries and has not many opportunities to play. So far, he has only played eight games and scored three goals in the fifteen rounds of the league. He is no longer a shooter of the same level as Chen Yingxiong.
If Wenger had a previous temper, Van Persie, who was over 30, should have been sold after he scored 36 goals in the season. Because he could still afford the price at that time. If it really doesn't work, he should have taken action this summer. This is the last chance.
But Wenger doesn't.
He has been coaching Arsenal for seventeen years since October 1996. During these seventeen years, he has been famous for cultivating talented young players, and he seems to always be inconsistent with those veterans.
There are not many veterans under him who have a good death. Most players are over 30 years old, Wenger will start to think about how to sell them at a good price. The contract renewal is signed once a year - this is a complete insult.
Many people have criticized Wenger's approach for being unkind and it is also the reason why Arsenal lacks championships for a long time. Because his subordinates are no longer old players of sufficient level, they are all a group of little kids. What big scene do you expect this group of scouts to cope with? Without the leadership of experienced veterans, a group of young people may have a few big wins if they are smooth. If it is not smooth... they may fall directly to the bottom. All the problems of young people are fully displayed in Arsenal. I have to say that this is what Wenger's team building strategy brings.
This seems to have formed a vicious cycle - without veterans, all young people, you can't win the championship. If you can't win the championship, let alone veterans, even promising young people can't keep it. For the past captain Fabregas returned to Barcelona where he debuted for the championship, and players such as Nasri also abandoned Arsenal for the championship and went to other teams that could win the championship. Talent loss, Arsenal's strength is getting worse every year. He has never won a championship yet...
These blows seemed to have touched Wenger.
For Van Persie, he maintained enough confidence and patience.
In this season when Van Persie was frequently injured, he even went against the norm and took the lead in giving a new contract with relatively generous treatment. If Van Persie signed this contract, it would mean that he would retire from this team!
This was hard to imagine before...
Van Persie has changed from a handsome boy to a veteran, and Wenger seems to have changed...
※※※
In the early years, Van Persie really wanted to leave Arsenal because he couldn't win the championship. But when he was seriously injured at the age of 30 and suffered minor injuries after his comeback, he lost the idea of leaving. He felt that his career was probably over in Arsenal. His only wish now is to help Arsenal win a championship before retirement. No matter what the championship it is, as long as it is a championship...
He has decided to accept the new contract offered by the club.
Two years ago, he once said in his competition with Chen Yingxiong: "If this game doesn't work, there will be a next game, and if the next game doesn't work, there will be a next season."
Now he doesn't mention these bold words. He no longer regards Chen Yingxiong as his enemy, because Chen Yingxiong is a rising red sun, and he is already declining and starting to go downhill.
There is nothing to compare between the two. In the golden age of his career, he was unable to defeat Chen Yingxiong, let alone now.
Putting aside his competitive spirit with Chen Yingxiong, he is now focusing more on helping newcomers in the team and inheriting his own experience and skills.
This is also the reason why he scored five goals. In fact, it is not that his shooting skills have really decreased, and his goal rate has also decreased. It’s just that he has retreated from a simple shooter to a organizer. In Wenger’s tactics, he is more of a passer than a scorer.
His position and role have experienced several changes as he was at Arsenal, from the wing to the middle. From the shadow forward to the center, from the center to the front midfielder, every change has witnessed a piece of history in Arsenal.
But in this game today, he will pick up the spear that he has not used for many years, put on his armor, ride a war horse, and charge forward to the front... kill the enemy!
Before this game, Wenger found Van Persie and told his thoughts. In this game, he would turn Van Persie back on the front line and become a center.
Let Van Persie get involved with Liverpool's tall defenders, use Van Persie's flexibility and skills to find Scotter and Agge's side
This task is very important. Wenger suddenly felt a little worried about giving it to the young boys...
He has never been worried about the veteran to the young player. Everything that happened to Arsenal has also affected the famous coach.
Van Persie had no objection to the head coach's arrangements, and he agreed.
At the same time, a sense of pride was rekindled in his heart.
I have been competing with Chen Yingxiong all season and I no longer have the energy. But at least, I can compete with you for a better and worse in this game, Chen Yingxiong!
※※※
Martin O'Neal really didn't expect Wenger to push Van Persie, who was supposed to play the front midfielder, to the forward line, and to be the center forward at the front!
This was really beyond his expectations.
At the beginning of this season, Van Persie retreated from the center position and became an organizational midfielder. Wenger made full use of his skills, experience, and consciousness to drive the young men around him. So Van Persie doesn't shoot many goals now and score few goals, but his pass count has increased and assists have increased, so the effect is still good.
Arsenal's main striker this season is 20-year-old Miyachi Ryo from Japan. He was loaned to Bolton for two seasons before returning to his parent team this season. Because of his performance during loan, he was able to play as the main player this season. He beat the poor German scorer Bo Dorsky.
Ryo Miyachi was once known as the "Japan Ronaldo", with speed, technology, and body. Together with Usa Mikishi, Miyachi Takumi and others, he was called the "platinum generation of Japanese football".
As Arsenal's main striker, he has scored ten goals this season and is the team's number one scorer.
However, in this game, Liang Miyashi was placed on the side and gave the middle to veteran Van Persie.
Originally, Martin O'Neal's research, intelligence and defensive tactics in the penalty area were all aimed at Miyashi, but unexpectedly it was suddenly replaced by Van Persie, which caught him off guard.
Not only was he caught off guard, but the entire Liverpool team was also caught off guard.
At the end of last season, Van Persie suffered a serious injury and returned from injury before this season, but since then, he has been in a minor injury and cannot play systematically. The game is intermittent. Liverpool players all think that Van Persie is finished. He has been injured frequently before. He has finally been injured for two years, but he didn't expect that knowledge will be restored.
So no one took Van Persie as a threat. However, Liang Miyaji and Walcott had more headaches for Liverpool players...
Unexpectedly, Van Persie was the closest person to them in this game!
Arsenal took advantage of Liverpool's surprise and scored a goal in the first nine minutes.
The person who scored the goal was Robin Van Persie!
"This ball is here! Van Persie! He broke through Ag's defense with a light foot, and then shot with his left foot! Beautiful! The football is only in the far corner!!" Zhang Jun, a famous commentator in China, shouted. "Arsenal led Liverpool in less than ten minutes with this ball! Everyone thought that Arsenal would not be sure of defeating Liverpool at home. Now it seems that everyone was wrong! Van Persie, who is already thirty years old, was classified as a 'veteran', but it was this veteran who gave Liverpool a fatal blow! Who dared to take a sword and get right away? Only General Fan!!"

Van Persie saw the disdain and contempt buried deep in their hearts in the surprised and unbelievable eyes of the Liverpool players.
He knew that in the eyes of these people, he could only play as a midfielder and was getting further and further away from the goal. His scoring ability was definitely not as good as before.
So they didn't expect to guard against their shots...
This caused the remaining rebelliousness in Van Persie's heart - I'm the player who scored the most goals in the Premier League in a single season! Do you just look down on me?
OK, let's take a look!
※※※
Chen Yingxiong frowned when he saw Van Persie running to celebrate the goal with his teammates.
He looked down on him a little before the game. After all, he only scored three goals this season and could not find his name on the scorer list. Chen Yingxiong has long since regarded Van Persie as his opponent, and he doesn't think Van Persie can still threaten him.
But he found himself overlooking a problem.
Even if Van Persie really can't threaten himself in the competition throughout the season, he is completely likely to threaten himself in one game!
He doesn't need to beat himself throughout the season and get any top scorer. He just needs to beat himself and Liverpool in this game. Then he loses to Van Persie! Because the competition between the two people sometimes does not look at each other's goal data...
Therefore, Chen Yingxiong, who discovered this problem, frowned.
Although he is no longer a person who calls the wind and rain on the Scorer List, his power is still there...
I really shouldn't be underestimating you, sorry.
Who dares to stand upright? Only General Fan!
OK, OK, really good!
Such an opponent is really good!!!
