Chapter 12 Depressed
What Bologni wants means that Lin Sen doesn't want.````
It's not embarrassing to fall into a pit, but falling into a pit that deliberately erected a warning sign is not just as simple as embarrassing, it's simply stupid. After the game, Lin Sen didn't want to hide his anger at all. He locked the player in the locker room and sprayed him for ten minutes. Until Lin Sen arrived at the press conference, he still looked gloomy.
He was tied at home and scored two away goals by the opponent. This situation is obviously not good in the knockout round.
But even so, the British media is still full of confidence in Manchester City's final advance to the final, because in this game, everyone can see that Manchester City was eventually tied by the opponent, mainly their own relationship. Moreover, due to the game against Arsenal three days later, head coach Lin Sen has obvious reservations in the arrangement of troops, and in the second round between the two sides, Manchester City will undoubtedly attack with all their strength.
Of course, these are just unanimously willing to the outside world at this time. The Belgian media does not think so. They think that Standard Liege has played a great game. When it comes to Belgium, Standard Liege will have the opportunity to make history.
As for the depressed Lin Sen, he didn't have time to be depressed for too long, because there was a stronger opponent waiting for him.
With three rounds left in the league, Arsenal is nine points behind Manchester City, which is the top.
Theoretically, there is still a possibility of Arsenal competing for the championship. Of course, this possibility is infinitely close to zero, because it not only requires Manchester City to lose all the last three games, but also requires Chelsea to lose at least two games. In addition, Arsenal itself must ensure that his goal difference exceeds the opponent's twelve goals in the last three rounds... Well, this is the so-called hopeless championship competition.
However, Wenger still has reasons to win at home against Manchester City.
It's not that he intends to help his city rival Chelsea, nor that he doesn't want to lose three times to Manchester City in a season, but that it's a more practical reason. Arsenal needs to ensure their third place.
The third and fourth in the Premier League can both participate in the Champions League, but the third is to directly advance to the group stage, while the fourth is to participate in the qualifying round. This doesn't seem to be much different, because even if you participate in the qualifying round, Arsenal's promotion is not surprising, but in fact, whether you need to play the qualifying round will have an impact on summer preparations.
First, in order to prepare for the qualifying match, players must end their vacation early. The Premier League is the busiest league in Europe. Players who play in the Premier League are also the most tiring players in Europe. Summer is their only time to take off, but the qualifying match will undoubtedly take up this precious time. Second, it affects the transfer budget in the summer. For any team, whether they can participate in the Champions League is a different budget. Arsenal is no exception, even if Wenger has been in Arsenal for so many years.
But it is one thing to want to win. Reality is another thing.
Wenger must face up to the reality of his team, that is, the team's injury problem, Vermalen, Galas, Toure, Ramsey, Juru... It's not just Arsenal's main central defender partner who hangs out of the game with high and no battle cards, what makes Wenger the most headache is the absence of the two key offensive characters of the team. The first one to bear the brunt is Fabregas, who fought against Manchester City's midfielder with his own strength in the first round of the season, and the other is Arsenal's top scorer this season, Russian "tsar" Arshavin.
The so-called wounded soldiers are everywhere. It is nothing more than that.
When Linson saw Arsenal's starting list, he even wanted to sympathize with Wenger.
One thing that has to be mentioned is that most Premier League teams have been suffering from injuries this season. In addition to the fact that Chelsea, who has a lot of "iron men" in the team, is better, Manchester United, Liverpool, and now Arsenal have all encountered serious injuries. In the final analysis, this is actually the fault of the intensive schedule of the Premier League. Players do not get enough rest, their bodies are prone to fatigue, and they are prone to injury. Lin Sen knows this very well.
Manchester City also had injuries at one time, but in comparison, it was simply possessed by a magic weapon. bbc Sports once made an episode of the program on injury issues, and then got Manchester City's good results this season to a large extent thanks to the conclusion of the Manchester City medical team, because compared with other teams, Manchester City has ensured the completeness of the main lineup to the greatest extent.
But what is the actual reason? Only Lin Sen and the players know.
During the game, Wenger's central defender combination was a abandoned player: former Arsenal abandoned player Campbell, and former Manchester United abandoned player Sylvesterre.
Everyone was worried about Arsenal's defense, and even Wenger looked worried. Andy Gray, who was in charge of the game commentator, directly called Arsenal's central defender partner a paper defense line, because when Arsenal's lineup was complete, these two people even had to look at the chance, but now, they are the choice Wenger has no choice.
Andy Gray's metaphor has another meaning. That is, Arsenal's opponent today is Manchester City, one of the most powerful teams in the Premier League this season.
Lin Sen also believes that if there is a problem in this game, most of the problems will occur in defense rather than offense.
However, the fact is that it was such a paper-stuffed line of defense that Leng resisted Manchester City's attack, from the first minute to the end of the first half, and then more than an hour... Manchester City, who played away from home, turned away from the beginning of the game, but this temporary "master" was obviously not familiar with the terrain here. After more than an hour of spinning around the opponent's goal, Leng could not find the key to scoring.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Sen made the first adjustment, and it was passive adjustments.
In the 70th minute of the game, Arsenal's forever "strongest aid" Diaby dunked the ball over De Jong in front of the top of the penalty area, and then went out of the gap and shot from the bottom right corner with his right foot. Jiwen saved the ball sideways and blocked the ball out of the baseline, but Jiwen did not get up.
The referee suspended the game. Manchester City's team doctor Kragg had just rushed to the scene of the accident. Lin Sen was already calling Joe Hart to play because he had already seen that Jiwen was in a wrong state. Sure enough, less than ten seconds after he went up, Kragg waved to the stretcher and even used an oxygen inhaler for Jiwen.
When Ji Wen was in a bad mood, Lin Sen deliberately looked at Ji Wen's shoulders that were already tied with bandages, and saw that he was in a worse mood.
dislocation.
This is no longer a question of whether you can play next, but whether you can catch up with next season.
As Manchester City's main goalkeeper this season, Jiwen just celebrated his 34th birthday a few days ago. The performance of the Irish national goalkeeper who joined last winter's transfer period has been very stable. It is precisely because of his performance that Lin Sen did not have the idea of buying a goalkeeper during the summer transfer. After all, Joe Hart still needs time to grow. Jiwen was injured in the national team in the first half of the league. At that time, Joe Hart once became the starting goalkeeper. Lin Sen has not been unwilling to think that if Joe Hart performs stably, he will succeed directly. But the facts have proved that Joe Hart may have a bright future, but he is far less stable than Jiwen.
But unexpectedly, Ji Wen was reimbursed at this time.
Lin Sen was in a bad mood, but the game still had to continue. Joe Hart just came on the court and gave Lin Sen a "warning". Arsenal took a corner kick, but Joe Hart attacked but did not get the ball. Fortunately, it was not Arsenal's players who reached the first place.
Lin Sen frowned in his heart when he heard a burst of regret from Arsenal fans.
After all, Jiwen is already 34 years old. Although the goalkeeper has always been at an advanced age, no one can guarantee that Jiwen will still be in the same form this season next season, let alone this time Jiwen has been injured twice this season. At that time, can he really feel at ease to hand over the position to Joe Hart? Just as thousands of English fans hoped?
Lin Sen is really not sure.
The game time continues to pass, Manchester City is still looking for opportunities to score goals, and Arsenal is not willing to be suppressed by Manchester City at home. Once the opportunity is caught, it will burn the half-time of Manchester City without hesitation. The game enters the final stage and becomes a bit like going back and forth. Even Arsenal still has the vague intention of coming from behind...
In the 83rd minute, Ebue cut in from the right at high speed, and Bridge had no choice but to foul. Van Persie's free kick caused a sigh of regret on the Emirates Stadium.
In the 89th minute, Ebue inserted at high speed again. Bridge, who had already carried a yellow card on his body, did not dare to pull people this time. The former's straight pass, Bentner, who had just replaced Walcott's low shot at a low angle a minute ago. Fortunately, this time Joe Hart made a accurate judgment and confiscated the ball.
Because of Jiwen's hands, the referee gave a six-minute stoppage time, but the miracle did not happen to Manchester City, nor did it happen to Arsenal.
The score is zero to zero.
Manchester City ushered in the first game of the season without a goal, and it also took on its starting goalkeeper. Lin Sen looked ugly after the game, and Wenger's face was not much better. Unlike Manchester City who needed to wait for the result of Chelsea's game, the result of Manchester United's match with Tottenham was already out yesterday. Manchester United defeated the previous two games three-to-one in a state, defeating Arsenal and Chelsea's consecutive Hotsea Hotsea Hotsea Hotsea Hotsea Hotsea's draw. Today's draw means that Manchester United climbed to the top of Arsenal with the advantage of goal difference.
What is a loss-making loss? This is a loss-making loss.
Fortunately, Wenger did not have the same habit of "drinking a drink" after the game as Ferguson. Otherwise, with Lin Sen's mood today, he would have to choose to be rude.
Now, Lin Sen seems to have to believe in the existence of the law of conservation of character. After sweeping the two teams with two brooms in two consecutive rounds, Manchester City was decisively "retribution". The next three games were actually three draws, and the situation was all in a good situation. Manchester City fans at this time could no longer imagine how beautiful the scenery would be if they won all three games.
However, everything is possible in the world of football, but there is no if. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
