Chapter 117 Make history! Golden ball odds are fifth!
Even Gunners legend Merson came out to pour cold water on this. Although the Gunners have won 10 consecutive victories, he still thinks these are not convincing.
Paul Merson believes that winning streak is still not valuable enough.
"We are now at the top of the list, but we have tried our best."
"Don't get me wrong, their winning streak is very good. But when they meet Tottenham and Liverpool at home, especially Liverpool, I will be surprised if they don't lose by three goals. They will tear Arsenal apart."
"I'm confused because in half the games in the 11-game winning streak, they could have been far behind in the first half, but then they changed. If Luo Wu performs like this every week, then he is the best in the world."
"But we have all noticed that these results are achieved just because of Luo Wu. Without Luo Wu, where would Arsenal be ranked? Arsenal's midfield and backfield defense have big problems."
"So I don't buy it, I think they are lucky. You can't play against Liverpool like this."
"I think it's very risky to play Crystal Palace now. There are too many injured players, which will make Arsenal even worse."
11 consecutive victories are not favored by Merson. I don't know if Merson is an Arsenal star. Maybe he said this just to stimulate the Arsenal players.
If Arsenal defeats Crystal Palace in this round, the Gunners will have won 12 consecutive victories in all competitions for the first time since October 2007, and will also have 8 consecutive wins in the Premier League for the first time since February to April 2015. For the hot-dog, this is
It's an excellent result.
Even in the Wenger era, I haven't enjoyed such happiness for a long time.
Doesn’t it seem like everyone is used to it now?
Even the media felt that Arsenal might capsize in the away game.
"Daily Mail" wrote: Although Arsenal looks full of momentum, Arsenal, who are short of major generals, may capsize in the London derby at Selhurst Park. They are missing many central players.
In the backcourt, their defensive end will expose more problems, and it is more likely to end in a draw. We all know that they have the alien Luo Wu, but they can do without the alien defender.
The "Manchester Evening News" also holds a similar view: Crystal Palace needs to bottom out and Arsenal is the best opponent. If they can win points in the derby, then they will regain confidence.
…
"That's ridiculous!"
"It's just unreasonable."
"I don't understand why the media always favor them when facing Liverpool and Manchester City, but why do we always say we are in danger when facing Arsenal? Fak!"
“Aren’t we also at the top of the list?”
Emery is disgusted by all this.
Juan Carlos on the side reminded him in a low voice, "Unai,"
"I think we made another big mistake."
"What's the mistake?" Hearing Carlos say this, he instantly felt a chill on his back. Someone must have been injured again!
"Monreal, he has accumulated yellow cards and is suspended," Juan Carlos said.
Sure enough, Emery's heart immediately pounded and he almost lost his balance. When a person is unlucky, his teeth ache when he drinks cold water. Only at this juncture did he know that Monreal was going to be suspended.
Then Arsenal has actually broken two arms, and both the left and right defenders are in despair! The defense is really like paper. It is no wonder that so many people are not optimistic about Arsenal.
This is indeed a huge mistake and a mistake!
Skull hurts.
So far, he doesn't know who to find to fill the left and right back positions. He doesn't know if Lichtsteiner can return to the squad next year. I sincerely hope that he can recover from the cold...
It really doesn't work.
Three central defenders?
An idea came to his mind.
Anyway, we can’t expect the team not to concede goals. In this case, it’s better to add midfielders and strengthen defense. A 352 or 3412 or 3421 formation is good. The opponent is not afraid of our defense, but they are afraid of our offense!
Gritting his teeth, he said:
"Juan, we have to rearrange the starting lineup. I can't let us not even have a substitute. We have to change to three central defenders."
…
The next day, Arsenal's starting lineup.
Goalkeeper: Leno.
Defenders: Papastathopoulos, Per Mertesacker, Holding.
Midfielder: Xhaka, Torreira, Elneny, Smith Rowe, Luo Wu, Aubameyang.
Forward: Lacazette.
An aggressive lineup.
When Sky Sports got this starting lineup, Ferdinand immediately exclaimed.
"Emery is crazy,"
"In this starting lineup, there are really only five people who can defend, including goalkeeper Leno."
"This means that he just wants the team to score more goals, rather than rely on defense to win."
"This is not good news for Crystal Palace."
"Although the offense and defense are unbalanced, I don't think Crystal Palace can withstand Arsenal's offense. Crystal Palace will lose four consecutive games."
The Crystal Palace coach was also confused when he saw his opponent's starting lineup. He originally wanted to steal the chicken from Arsenal's defense, but now he has to think carefully about how to withstand Arsenal's attack...
It can be said that almost all the offensive players in Arsenal have gone out! How is this fun? But now the arrow is on the string and it has to be launched!
Crystal Palace’s starting lineup is: Goalkeeper: Hennessey;
Defenders: Bisaka, Tomkins, Sakho, Van Aanholt;
Midfielder: MacArthur, Milivojevic, Kouyate;
Forwards: Townsend, Ayew, Zaha.
More than 30,000 fans crowded into the small Selhurst Park stadium and waved flags, while the inflated eagle soared above the blue ocean. The poor Arsenal fans were only allocated more than 500 tickets.
There is no way, the stadium is inherently small and cannot accommodate many people, so the visiting team will not be able to get many tickets.
Today's game is the first Premier League game broadcast by bv5. They had no broadcast rights before, so bv5 spent a lot of money to purchase the broadcast rights.
Participating in the commentary are He Wei and Zhang Lu, as well as guest commentator Fan Zhiyi.
Before the game started, Fan Zhiyi and Zhang Lu had been chatting about the Crystal Palace of their time.
"I remember at that time, I could challenge Owen, Heskey and Henry. We were not afraid of facing Premier League teams in the cup."
A good man does not mention his former bravery, but an old man always likes to recall the past.
"Hey, I still remember Irving praising you after the game." Zhang Lu chuckled, also echoing Fan Zhiyi.
"Because of this game, Liverpool later sent you an invitation, hoping that you could join them. As we all know, you later rejected the invitation."
This was Fan Zhiyi’s crowning moment. He grinned widely and said: “Yes, as long as I nodded, I could become a member of Liverpool, but at that time we were going to play in the World Cup qualifiers, and
There was a stipulation in Liverpool's contract that I was not allowed to return to my country to participate in games. I felt that this clause was too excessive, so I did not consider it at all and rejected the contract they proposed."
Speaking of this, Fan Zhiyi's eyes became a lot darker as before, because every time he recalled it, he would feel distressed. He was once a figure who could become a Liverpool central defender, although he did not make it...
"Hey, your efforts are rewarded. Otherwise, how could we go to the 2002 World Cup? There will be gains and losses."
He Wei sat in the middle and felt that these two people were just reminiscing about the past and were now broadcasting the Crystal Palace vs Arsenal game, so he quickly interrupted:
"Old Fan, don't be too sad. Now there are younger people who have done it. Luo Wu now represents the highest level of Chinese football, and his performance among the rich clubs is also world-class. It can be regarded as making up for your regret. By the way, you are right about this
How do you watch the game?”
Fan Zhiyi was pulled back from his thoughts and his eyes fell on the big screen.
"I think there is still a chance for Crystal Palace to play at home in this game. The team can't lose anymore. It happened to encounter Arsenal, the weakest team in recent times. I mean Arsenal's defense. Both Arsenal full-backs
There is no one left. Crystal Palace forwards have a chance to score goals, especially Ayew. He is very impactful. Arsenal defenders may not be able to guard against him. Everyone knows that Arsenal's midfielders are a bit weak.
, can’t count on it.”
"On the other hand, Arsenal's offensive value can be said to be at full capacity. This offensive formation will scare any club. Of course, this is only in terms of paper strength, and it may not be able to achieve very good results.
I think the final score was probably 3:2, or 4:3, and Arsenal won."
At this time, a series of barrage messages popped up on the big screen.
"Pull him down, General Fan. Although Crystal Palace is your old club, can Crystal Palace score so many goals? Absolutely impossible."
"Crystal Palace didn't even score a single goal at home, so why can they score so many goals against Arsenal?"
"It's going to be a massacre for sure."
"Luo Wu can solve the problem alone."
"As long as Luo Wu is here, this Arsenal can lack any player, as long as they can get 11 people to start!"
…
At this time, players from both sides had already lined up. Luo Wu was at the front wearing the armband. When the DJ read his name, crazy boos immediately erupted. As Arsenal's top player, boos are inevitable.
, but the Crystal Palace team must have forgotten that Sporting Lisbon fans treated Luo Wu in the same way in the last European war. As a result, Luo Wu massacred them after just half of the game. Do Crystal Palace fans also want to see this now?
The two sides set up their formations, the whistle sounded, and another derby battle began.
Crystal Palace took the lead to kick off. The 433 formation made it impossible for them to have too many ink in the midfield and backcourt. They quickly distributed the ball to the right wing and MacArthur made a timely pass!
Mertesacker didn't give center Ayew a chance and jumped the ball in front of him!
After Torreira got the ball, he continuously made triangular passes with his teammates. The pass was flowing smoothly and he soon reached the top of the penalty area of the Crystal Palace. While the teammates on both sides pushed forward, Luo Wu retreated ten seconds.
Come on, although the ball fell into the penalty area, it was eventually knocked back outside the penalty area by Lacazette.
Luo Wu kicked the goal from outside the penalty area!
With a powerful and heavy instep volley, the ball whizzed away towards the lower right corner of the goal!
The ball was about to fly into the goal. At the critical moment, defender Sakho flew out of the way and blocked the ball out of the baseline.
Luo Wu continued to run to take the corner kick, but instead of driving the ball into the penalty area, he quickly played a tactical corner kick with Torreira, and then sent the ball into the back of the Crystal Palace penalty area with his left foot!
Xhaka came up behind Crystal Palace defender Tomkins with a huge pressure!
Da~
The ball hit the turf and bounced up, quickly heading towards the upper left corner of the goal. Crystal Palace goalkeeper Hennessey flew sideways and knocked the ball out of the baseline.
Or a corner kick!
Goalkeeper Hennessy is in good form.
"Hey, Arsenal's offensive is fierce, they want to score a goal right from the start."
"Can the Crystal Palace withstand it?"
This time Luo Wu did not run to take the corner kick. Smith Rowe took the penalty at the other end. His kick went straight to the front point. Lacazette grabbed the landing point under the cover of Mertesacker and hit his head.
With a sharp flick, the ball hit the side netting!
Arsenal's third shot was still wasted.
"Arsenal can create a lot of shooting opportunities in every game, but their ability to seize opportunities is very poor, otherwise they would be one goal ahead now."
The ball returned to Crystal Palace. After receiving the ball, left-back Van Aanholt immediately made a long pass to find Townsend in front. This was arranged by the head coach before the game.
But Papastathopoulos did not dare to be careless. After taking advantage of his position, he quickly swept the ball out of the sideline. He did not take risks or create dangers. He eliminated the danger in the safest way and let his teammates come back to defend together.
.
The Crystal Palace players lost their patience and reluctantly threw the ball into the penalty area to find Ayew, but Mertesacker still pushed it out. Mertesacker's sword is still young, and his performance in recent games can be said to be watertight.
.
Crystal Palace invested too few offensive troops, how could it possibly have a chance?
Xhaka took the ball and passed it straight to Torreira. Torreira knocked it across to Luo Wu. Luo Wu suddenly shook his right foot and didn't even look at the left, but the ball quickly jumped six meters in front of Smith Rowe.
Outside, Smith Rowe only needs to get rid of Bisaka and rush to the ball with all his strength!
In the end, he succeeded, and a half-high ball with his left foot flew past Tomkins, Lacazette and Sakho, and landed in front of the fast Aubameyang.
Aubameyang scored a hat trick in the last round, and his confidence has long since returned. Faced with the ball falling in mid-air, Aubameyang chose to volley directly with his right foot!
boom--
The ball flew into the goal like a cannonball. Although the angle was not very good, it was fast enough! Goalkeeper Hennessy was so depressed that he didn't even react!
"The ball is in!"
"The ball is in!!!"
"Aubameyang!"
"Aubameyang has scored four goals in two games and is in good form."
"1:0, just 4 minutes into the game, Crystal Palace fell behind at home. This was a terrible start. Once Arsenal starts scoring mode first, it will be a massacre. At least this law has not failed before."
"The scoring process is very simple. Arsenal players pass the ball with four feet and the ball is sent to Aubameyang. The key is that Luo Wu and Smith Rowe's passes are both beautiful, without any sloppiness, and they capture the best
Timing. Of course Aubameyang also shot very confidently."
After scoring, Aubameyang ran all the way to the stands of Arsenal fans. The ecstatic Arsenal fans finally gave him warm applause. You know, they have disliked Aubameyang for a long time.
plum tree.
"Half of the credit for this goal belongs to Luo Wu, the remaining 40% belongs to Smith Rowe, and the remaining 10% belongs to Aubameyang." He Wei still divided up Aubameyang.
Yang’s contribution.
"Hehe, yes, yes, without Luo Wu's instigation and organization, this ball would not have been possible." Zhang Lu agreed very much.
"Luo Wu's current role is a bit similar to that of Barcelona's Messi. He is not only responsible for scoring goals, but also retreating and organizing the offense. One person assumes the roles of several people. This is a reflection of personal ability. Not everyone can do it.
To arrive, he must first have such ability, right?"
"Of course, I would rather see Luo Wuduo score a penalty kick. We can't just be the scorer, we have to score goals!"
This conceded goal disrupted all Crystal Palace's preparations before the game.
For a weak team, either you change your tactics and find a way to score goals, or you just lie down and wait to die. The Crystal Palace coach can't afford to lose. If he loses again, it will be four consecutive defeats, and he may be dismissed. Although Hodgson is in
He took over from Frank de Boer in September, but he has not led the team out of the predicament since he took office. After three consecutive defeats, he met Arsenal. He was full of confidence before the start of the game. Now he is simply...
I have the desire to die.
To fight? Or not to fight? Hodgson chose to respond positively, so his voice immediately sounded on the sidelines of the court, inspiring his disciples!
But if football is won by words? Then Mourinho is the head coach with the highest winning rate in the world, because his post-match press conferences are the most invincible.
Crystal Palace did then hit the Arsenal backcourt again, broke through Holding's defense on the right, and sent a cross, but the defense of veteran Mertesacker was not what Holding and Papastathopoulos could do.
Comparatively, there is no problem at all in defending Ayew alone.
He showed the true qualities of a world-class central defender, and the ball was pushed out by him again. This time Crystal Palace invested more offensive forces than before, but Arsenal still had the upper hand in the midfield. Even though Kouyate worked hard.
, trying to steal the ball from Xhaka, but Zach, Torreira and Elneny made continuous triangle passes, leaving Kouyate helpless. The most popular one relied on Milivojevic's foul to stop Arsenal.
This push, but Arsenal's offensive awareness is quite strong.
After Elneny got up, he immediately gave the ball to Luo Wu. Luo Wu did not stick to the ball at all and sent a full moon scimitar kick with his left foot. This time the ball went around to the front right!
Aubameyang relied on his strong speed to get rid of Van Aanholt, and then quickly whipped the ball towards Lacazette.
Lacazette also got rid of Sakho and Tomkins!
But just as he was about to take the shot, the whistle sounded.
Offside!
"Is the ball offside? It's not offside, right?"
Anyway, He Wei and Zhang Lu in front of the big screen couldn't see clearly. Fan Zhiyi secretly wiped a cold sweat on the side. Although he supported Luo Wu, he also supported the Crystal Palace team. He didn't want to see the Crystal Palace team be relegated at the end of the season.
, so I secretly cheer for Crystal Palace.
Soon, the slow motion playback came out.
"Leg hair level offside, haha, the difference is less than ten centimeters. The Premier League's VR is too exaggerated, and the enjoyment of the game has been seriously reduced. Crystal Palace should be lucky to have VR, otherwise the score would have been 0:2."
Fan Zhiyi didn't like hearing this. He retorted: "This offside is offside. This is the rule. If the leg is offside, it is also offside. If the goal is invalid, the goal is invalid."
"Yes, yes, there is something wrong with my point of view." Zhang Lu chuckled again, and he could understand Fan Zhiyi's psychology...
Here Crystal Palace is still doing the same trick, looking for a teammate with a big kick, but this time defender Tomkins directly found Ayew in the middle.
Ayew was defeated again in the third confrontation. Facing a world-class central defender, he still needs to improve himself, otherwise he will not be able to create opportunities at all.
It's Xhaka again!
Xhaka split the ball to Smith Rowe, and Smith Rowe kept knocking the ball across to Torreira. Luo Wu retreated to support him again, but this time the Crystal Palace players learned the lesson wisely, and Milivojevic closely followed Luo Wu.
Behind him, when Luo Wu picked up the ball, his right foot didn't stop and he kicked the heel of Luo Wu's right foot directly.
The whistle sounded again and Milivojevic committed a foul. Just when the referee gave him a verbal warning, Luo Wu had already gotten up and almost sent an overhead kick from the spot!
Da~
Milivojevic was stunned for a moment, and then immediately complained to the referee, but the referee ignored him because this was also within the scope of the rules. Without a red or yellow card, a set kick can be taken quickly, let alone in the Arsenal backcourt.
But Luo Wu's overhead kick was like a cruise missile, incredibly accurate. The ball once again fell in front of Aubameyang, who was sprinting at full speed. This time Aubameyang was not in a hurry to sweep the ball towards the center, but continued to lead the ball.
The ball cut inside to the right edge of Crystal Palace's penalty area. Van Aanholt was already behind him, and Sakho had to run over to block him.
But at this time, Aubameyang passed the ball in an inverted triangle.
At the same time, Lacazette, who was originally leading Tomkins forward, suddenly stopped and ran back two small steps, just missing Tomkins and waiting for the ball.
Push the right foot into the lower right corner of the goal.
"The ball went in again!"
"The ball went in again!"
"Lacazette!"
"2:0, Arsenal are blooming more now. They can easily deliver the ball from the left and right. In the middle, there are Lacazette, Torreira and Xhaka like wolves and tigers. Arsenal is free to play.
It’s totally impossible to guard against it.”
In the 10th minute, Arsenal led 2:0.
"It's over."
"This game is completely unplayable. It just depends on how many Crystal Palace will lose."
"Feeling less than five is considered good."
But the game lasts for ninety minutes, and it has only been going on for ten minutes. No matter how painful it is, I have to endure it.
There is a saying that goes well, no matter how painful it is, you must finish the sex you have arranged for...
Although the Crystal Palace team did not give up on themselves, the scene was really terrible.
Only three minutes later, Luo Wu launched another attack near the center line. The scalpel was sent straight to Lacazette, tearing the defense apart again. Lacazette did not attack aggressively and knocked the ball horizontally to Smith.
Rowe, Smith Rowe pushed the shot into the empty net.
The score became 3:0.
It was a waste of time and Arsenal easily took a three-goal lead.
Crystal Palace's defeat is certain.
The Arsenal coach on the sidelines looked indifferent. He didn't expect the game to be so easy.
That's it?
He sat back in the coaching bench with peace of mind. If possible, he really wanted to rub his temples and have a good sleep. He hadn't enjoyed such a relaxing game in a long time.
The game he thought was easy turned out to be very difficult. The game he thought was difficult turned out to be like chopping up melons and vegetables?
Really...
In the conference room of Liverpool's Anfield training ground, Klopp was holding a cup of tea but forgot to drink it when Arsenal scored the third goal.
Then he put the tea cup down.
He walked to the tactical board and started gesticulating.
Arsenal's performance naturally exceeded his expectations. In fact, when he saw Arsenal's 352 formation, he discovered that Emery's courage was raw.
Using extreme offense to suppress opponents, isn't that what Emery does?
But in the end, a smile appeared on his lips.
It seems that he has figured out how to deal with Arsenal?
…
At Selhurst Park, Crystal Palace fans were sitting on pins and needles, with anxiety written all over their faces. But they couldn't leave the stadium now. They needed to advance and retreat with the fans, but the time was too long. I didn't know if the team would still be there.
Throw a few goals.
It is impossible for Crystal Palace to consider attacking, it is impossible to think about equalizing the score, and losing less means winning.
But the game won't shift to his will.
In the 21st minute, defender Holding scored his first goal of the season, assisted by Luo Wu's corner kick. 4:0.
In the 27th minute, the score became 5:0. Smith Luo and Luo Wu played exquisite cooperation on the left wing. Luo Wu picked the ball past two defenders and then passed it straight to Smith Luo. Smith Luo swept the ball away.
Entering the penalty area, Xhaka followed up and made it in one go.
The massacre continued. Although the Crystal Palace players were still resisting tenaciously, bad news came again in the 36th minute. Luo Wu's scalpel through ball once again tore through the Crystal Palace defense. This time Lacazette knocked the ball to Aubameyang.
, Aubameyang scored twice!
6:0.
This time it’s the first half!
Such a terrifying score.
You said the whole game was fine, but this was only the first half.
There is still so much time, how many do we have to lose?
Many Crystal Palace fans were already crying in the stands. No matter men, women or children, they couldn't bear the blow and burst into tears. The young fans even burst into tears.
If the Arsenal players on the pitch saw this, I wonder if they would be merciful?
Anyway, Luo Wu didn't, and he didn't see it either.
When the time came to the 45th minute, the fourth official's sign was raised, and it was only a symbolic minute of added time. I guess I was embarrassed to see the Crystal Palace in such a miserable situation.
Luo Wu was originally playing yo-yo with his teammates in the frontcourt. When he saw that time was running out, he simply kicked the ball hard.
From 45 meters away, he fired a tomahawk kick!
It stands to reason that from such a long distance, no matter how powerful the shot is when it flies in front of the goal, it will not be too powerful. But goalkeeper Hennessy was already stunned by the shot and faced the ball shot by Luo Wu.
Hennessey subconsciously stretched out his hands, trying to catch the ball.
But he didn't catch it?!
Like the goalkeeper of Sporting Lisbon in the last game, he made a very low-level mistake and the ball bounced out and rolled to the line of the small penalty area.
How could Lacazette miss such a scoring opportunity now?
He rushed forward like a leopard. Tomkins, who was following him, didn't expect Hennessy to make a mistake. He just waited for him to catch the ball and for the half-time whistle to sound.
As a result, the ball was poked into the goal by Lacazette.
7:0!
"Ah this..."
"7:0!"
"The terrifying 7:0."
"To be honest, I imagined that Crystal Palace might be massacred, but we thought it would be this score. The last ball was given away for nothing, and the goalkeeper gave it away for nothing."
"In this case, he should let Luo Wu shoot in directly, why bother to block it?"
"Hey, there are seven goals without one goal from Luo Wu?"
"This is the first time!"
"He's like a passerby?"
"Too powerful."
The whistle finally sounded.
After the referee blew the whistle, he actually made a cross on his chest. He was probably thinking: God bless the Crystal Palace?
Poor Crystal Palace.
Poor Fan Zhiyi.
The moment the whistle sounded, Fan Zhiyi's face had already turned red.
"Old Fan? Are you okay?" He Wei noticed it and quickly comforted him, "Winning or losing is a common thing for military officers. Just be more open-minded."
"If you think about it, we won 19:0 in Guam. Didn't the Guam fans also survive?"
Fan Zhiyi: "Haha..."
Then I couldn't say another word, and I almost vomited out the blood in my chest, but what He Wei said was right...
…
Arsenal once again solved the problem in the first half.
Luo Wu will definitely be taken down, although he did not score a goal, his statistics were very bleak, and he even only had one assist.
But the data cannot explain everything. These seven goals are actually related to him. One assist, one caused the goalkeeper to take a shot, and the remaining five goals were all instigated by him. Without his ecstatic pass, there would be no success.
Will tear through the opponent's defense so easily.
The game ended again, and Luo Wu was indeed on the bench.
He was supposed to be the big killer in the game, but he didn't score, which feels ridiculous.
But in his absence, the Arsenal teammates who were already red-eyed from killing did not stop the killing.
Iwobi came on as a substitute and made the score 8:0.
The carnage seemed to be unstoppable, and the score seemed to be heading towards double digits.
But in the 60th minute, an accident happened. Ayew accidentally stepped on Mertesacker's ribs while fighting with Mertesacker, and Mertesacker had to leave the field injured!
At this time, Emery knew that it was time for the team to stop!
Mustafi comes on as a substitute!
But Mertesacker's situation is not good...
There is one more person on the injured list.
But he can't control this matter.
In the end, Arsenal braked in time. At the end of the game, the score was only 8:0.
At the press conference, Emery couldn't be happy.
"Although we achieved a beautiful victory, if I have a choice, I hope Mertesacker is healthy and the team wins the game 1:0."
"Our number of injured players has increased, and we have to play the League Cup next week and Liverpool on the weekend. Now I don't need to go to the reserve team and youth team to select players.
"Helpless, this is not necessarily the worst situation, right? Although you are short of major generals, your team has at least achieved a big victory. This means that your team's strength has not been really affected, right? You want
You know, Luo Wu didn’t even score a goal!”
The paparazzi of the "Daily Mail" smiled and pointed at Luo Wu, who was sitting quietly beside him.
"Yeah?"
Emery's eyebrows immediately rose.
"ah,"
"This... this is really rare."
He turned to look at Luo Wu, somewhat disbelieving, "Luo, you really didn't score a goal."
"You really didn't score."
"I didn't score a goal." Luo Wu smiled slightly, "I'm also wondering why I didn't score a goal in this big victory. Isn't this unscientific? But I'm very happy."
"I'm very happy that the team was able to achieve such a brilliant victory when I didn't score. It shows that many of us are underestimated and everyone can perform better. This is what I want to see."
"If we want to win the final championship, this is the best way. We should blossom more and everyone can score goals. This is what opponents fear most. From my observation, this is the case for any team that wins the championship.
Manchester City, Liverpool, Real Madrid, etc., they always have someone to step up and score goals, instead of just relying on one star."
"I'm really happy, except for Mertesacker's injury."
"But it cannot be denied that although you did not score a goal, you planned all the goals, right? A perfect 10-point performance says it all."
"Planning? It's okay. The key is to score goals. A perfect score of 10 is meaningless. If the team loses the game with a perfect score of 10, it's useless no matter how good the individual game is. I don't want to be a scoring player. The team
Victory is the ultimate goal.”
…
Luo Wu's failure to score also caused crazy discussions in the British media.
"The Times" - When Luo Wu doesn't score, it means that everyone at Arsenal can score. When he becomes a midfield organizer, Arsenal can shoot thousands of arrows. When we
When you think Arsenal are weak, Arsenal are stronger than ever!
"Daily Mail" - Liverpool should be careful, Luo Wu who doesn't score is even more terrifying! He can make the whole team run like a precision instrument. Don't think that Lacazette or Auba
Mei Yang is the best player in this game, and Luo Wu is the most terrifying one.
"Manchester Evening News" - The reason why Arsenal achieved an 8-0 victory was entirely because Luo Wu controlled everything behind the scenes. Every goal scored by Arsenal was inseparable from Luo Wu. He played the role of Harry all by himself.
In the role of Iniesta, he is already a world-class midfield master.
"Guardian" - He is a true ruler of the field. Even if he is willing to be a green leaf, he is also the most dazzling green leaf! Under his command, Arsenal is as unstoppable as a scourge. At the beginning of the season, we thought he was just a
The God of Death, but now he controls football like God! The only way to kill Arsenal is to kill him!
…
However, since Luo Wu did not score in this round, his goal lead has become smaller. In Italy and Spain, Messi and Ronaldo seemed to have made an agreement. Both of them scored twice, further narrowing the gap between Messi and Ronaldo.
The difference between martial arts.
In the French Ligue 1, Mbappe continued to perform hat tricks! It seems that Mbappe is full of energy to compete with Luo Wu for the Kopa Award.
In terms of Ballon d'Or odds, the rankings of Mbappe and Luo Wu have also been rising steadily, flying all the way to the top ten positions. Mbappe ranks 7th! Luo Wu even ranks 5th!
This is so awesome. After playing for three months, the odds of the Ballon d'Or ranked fifth. This was simply impossible in the past. Mbappe even played for a whole year, and Luo Wu
I only played for three months. Within three months, I jumped to the fifth position. Only God can do all this!
But the Golden Globe Award still cannot belong to him.
But such an achievement is enough to make the world proud.
Before Luo Wu, Japanese players Hidetoshi Nakata, Junichi Inamoto, Shunsuke Nakamura, and South Korea's Seol Ki-hyun and Park Ji-sung had all been nominated for the Golden Globe Award. The only Asian player to receive votes was Iraqi star Younis.
Now these have become insignificant, what is this achievement?
Luo Wu's fifth odds ranking crushed everything. This is the glory that belongs to Asia.
French "L'Equipe" personally published an article and wrote: We are honored to see an Asian player rising at the fastest speed. Before the voting deadline for the Ballon d'Or, Luo Wu's ranking reached the fifth position. If the Ballon d'Or
If the award is extended for more than two months like in 2013, we can even expect him to win the Ballon d'Or. The Chinese's wonderful performance is gradually gaining popularity. His performance has long been at the Ballon d'Or level, and he is leading Europe.
Football is going to a crazy extreme. But unfortunately, this Ballon d'Or will not be delayed!
Delay?
The Ballon d'Or was indeed delayed. The winner that year was Cristiano Ronaldo, but the previous highest-ranked five-time winner was Franck Ribery. If nothing else, Ribery would have won the Ballon d'Or, but the International President at the time
Blatter said before the Ballon d'Or voting that Messi should win the Ballon d'Or, not Cristiano Ronaldo. This sentence caused a huge public uproar. In the end, the Ballon d'Or had to delay the voting, and Ronaldo relied on the World Cup play-offs.
His outstanding performance finally ranked first, Messi took second place, and Ribery only finished third miserably.
At that time, Ribery said that Ronaldo had stolen his Ballon d'Or, and he really felt that his Ballon d'Or had been stolen.
Is the Ballon d'Or now delayed? It's just a joke from France's L'Equipe. It just shows that if Luo Wu is given enough time, he will be the most powerful candidate to win the Ballon d'Or.
Even if Luo Wu is given half a year, the data he may produce will be comparable to Messi and Ronaldo.
But there is no if...
And Luo Wu will not be depressed. Sooner or later, the Golden Globe Award will be his. What he wants now is the game, the championship, and the glory.
However, there are endless reports with similar views to L'Equipe.
For example, Italy's "Gazzetta dello Sport" - Luo Wu is such a phenomenon. He will win the Ballon d'Or at the end of next year. This is the last year of the Melo era. I have never seen such a perfect player. He
He can play any position in the frontcourt, and we can even imagine that he can one day become a guy like Beckenbauer. Who says that an 18-year-old cannot be trained into a defensive midfielder?
Maybe this was just a joke from Gazzetta dello Sport, but it was different after it reached Luo Wu's ears.
Luo Wu wrote on ins: "Gazzetta dello Sport" said that I might one day grow into an excellent defensive midfielder? I think this is very possible. In fact, I have also considered my own transformation.
Question, I want to become more and more omnipotent. If one day you find that I have done it, don’t be surprised...
Everyone is used to Luo Wu's remarks. He is such an arrogant guy, but he is also a guy who slaps him in the face with practical actions.
At this time, a person jumped out.
Former Chinese coach Milu.
In an interview with China's "Sports Weekly", he made bold remarks: "If we had Luo Wu in our team at that time, the Chinese team would have won the World Cup. This is not alarmist. I said this very seriously. If there was
With a player who can do everything, we can score goals. Maybe in the final, it will be Brazil vs. China, and then the rest will be left to Ronaldo and Luo Wu, who will score more goals, and the final decision will be made.
champion, but I think Luo Wu will score more goals, so the champion is China!"
"Why do I say that? Because he is even more powerful and versatile than Maradona. If Maradona can do it, why can't he do it? Obviously, this assumption can be established, but I don't
I don’t know if the Chinese team in 2022 can do it, because their strength is indeed much worse than 20 years ago, but the difference in the level of international football is getting smaller and smaller. Just like this year’s World Cup in Russia, even South Korea can defeat
