The FA sided with Luo Wu, which embarrassed media outlets such as the BBC and The Times.
Normally in this situation, the FA would definitely be in agreement with the main media, but this time it was the other way around.
The benefits are too great, can the FA wear the same pants as them?
Even if he wears it, he wears it secretly.
Anyway, the FA later issued an official statement expressing its support for Luo Wu.
This incident also increased the number of Luo Wu's fans on social media by nearly 20 million, a sure beneficiary.
He actually wasn't angry at all, he didn't care at all.
He wanted to return to the training ground to participate in team training, but Emery did not let him participate. It was impossible to train with an injury to his forehead. In the end, he could only pass the time in the gym alone.
But Luo Wu was unwilling to be lonely and actually asked someone to make a mask for himself. On the day of the game, he appeared in front of everyone wearing the mask.
Could Emery not understand what he was thinking?
He frowned and stared at Luo Wu.
"Lo,"
"Are you planning on wearing a mask?"
"It seems I can't do it without putting you in the squad. I can put you on the bench, but I hope you don't need to appear."
In fact, Emery also hopes that Luo Wu will be healthy and protect Arsenal, but with Luo Wu's injury like this, it is impossible for him to let Luo Wu start, not even wearing a mask.
The next best thing was to put him on the bench.
Luo Wu can accept:
"You can also be a substitute."
"We can't let accidents happen anyway, right?"
"I have to make sure that when we come back from Asia we are still at the top of the table."
It was just a game against Burnley, but the master and apprentice were so nervous.
But when Arsenal's squad was announced, the Internet was full of criticism.
Because Luo Wu's name is clearly on the list.
The Burnley coach was certainly the harshest scolder.
I originally thought that Luo Wu would definitely not be able to play, right? Maybe we could score some points with Arsenal, but it turned out that Luo Wu was here, how could we still play?
Liverpool's Klopp and Manchester City's Guardiola are also furious, expecting Arsenal to lose points.
But in the end Luo Wu did not appear in the starting lineup, but just sat on the bench.
Although Luo Wu was wearing a mask, the cameras at the scene were always focused on him, and he was easily recognized by everyone.
Ferdinand, who was in charge of the live broadcast, joked: "Lo becomes Zorro?"
"Although he is on the bench, there is a high probability that he will still play. Arsenal has no one available."
"If Arsenal were trailing in the first half, he would probably come on as a substitute in the second half."
However, Ferdinand's prediction was not accurate. Although Arsenal played mediocrely, they also played very steadily. At least they performed well on the defensive end. Guendouzi has become the core of the team's midfield and plays quite confidently.
Burnley was already very weak and did not pose much of a threat to Arsenal, not even a shot.
Arsenal played steadily. Before the end of the first half, Guendouzi passed the ball to Iwobi in seconds. Iwobi succeeded in countering offside, and then passed the inverted triangle back to Nketiah in the middle. Nketiah made it in one fell swoop, and Arsenal was done.
leading.
Seeing the team's performance being so stable, Emery naturally did not consider Luo Wu.
Moreover, Arsenal got better and better as they played, and their shooting opportunities gradually increased. However, Iwobi, Nketiah and Naini failed to seize the opportunity to expand the score. Otherwise, they would be at least two goals ahead, right?
However, Burnley still had no improvement. The two shooting opportunities they got in the second half were both completed outside the penalty area and went too far.
Arsenal fans and Emery both feel like they are sitting on the Diaoyutai.
But many times, when you think you are sure of victory, something unexpected happens. Just when everyone thought Arsenal would win Burnley with a score of 1:0, an accident happened. In stoppage time, Burnley launched an attack and advanced.
Arriving in front of Arsenal's penalty area, the Burnley forward took the ball and took a casual kick.
With this swing, the ball hit Monreal's right leg and was refracted!
Monreal made another own goal!
Own goals in two consecutive games, the fourth own goal this season.
This guy's luck is so bad that he can be called Arsenal's disaster star.
The previous own goal did not cause Arsenal to lose points, but this time it directly cost Arsenal 2 points.
The consequence is that both Liverpool and Manchester City have narrowed the points gap to 2 points...
At the end of the game, Monreal was almost crying.
Luo Wu sat lonely on the bench. He thought he wouldn't have to play and the team would win the game, but ended up eating chocolate-flavored shit.
But his mood was not affected much.
After the game, Luo Wu walked up to Emery and put his right hand on Emery's shoulder casually.
"Hey, let me tell you, I should be the one to play!"
"Isn't it time for Liverpool and Manchester City people to kneel down and celebrate?"
"Look, the whole of England is celebrating now, haha."
"You can still laugh?" Emery was almost depressed to death.
"If I don't laugh, am I going to cry? That would really make other people laugh."
After saying that, he took out his mobile phone, took a photo of himself, sent it to Instagram, and then wrote: We finally tied, today is a holiday for all of England, just think of it as a gift from us in advance.
A Christmas present for everyone! But don’t forget, we are still the leader.
Finally, a smiling emoji was added.
As soon as he posted the post, he saw Monreal with his head hanging down and called him.
"Hey, Nacho,"
"Look at you, no one is blaming you at all, why do you have to look like this?"
"come over."
"Let's take a photo together."
Regardless of whether Monreal agreed or not, he hugged Monreal's waist.
"Smile,"
"Hurry up and smile, don't look like your parents are dead."
Monreal had no choice but to force a smile.
Click.
Luo Wu quickly took the photo and posted it on Instagram, "Come on! This is not your fault."
"We will always stand together!"
"But, are we going to find a wizard to perform rituals later? Nacho is so unlucky, ugh~"
At this time, Monreal needs to be encouraged instead of criticized. This can be regarded as the attitude of the team!
Many times, players who score an own goal will be under greater pressure and may even destroy their personal confidence.
If Luo Wu does this now, won't Monreal's heart problems be removed by himself?
"Boss,"
"You should give us two days off tonight."
"Everyone is tired."
"How about you let me take you to the bar to have fun?"
"What did you say?" Emery thought he heard wrongly.
Luo Wu said again:
"I said, everyone has been too tired and nervous recently. Why don't you let me take you to the bar to have fun. I promise there won't be any big problems. Just relax, there are still four days left anyway."
