If it were just the nameless tabloids who published such a battle report comment, then Arsenal players might not even read it.

But the Times has too much influence, which cannot be ignored.

The reason why this commentary of the battle report stimulated Arsenal's main players is because Arsenal players are afraid that the newspapers are written with facts!

If it is true as written in the newspaper, Qin Xiong will subvert the status of all Arsenal players!

Players who originally thought they were on the same level as Qin Xiong would be surpassed by Qin Xiong, while superstars like Henriviera would be divided into glory and attention by Qin Xiong.

This is actually a very normal football development law.

There are talented people in the world, and no one can enjoy glory and attention at the peak of their entire career.

But even though that is the case, it is impossible to accept it calmly when it comes to the person involved.

If Qin Xiong wants to surpass, let him surpass.

He will become the No. 1 star of the team, so let him become the No. 1 star.

Who would be so willing?!

It can be said that the stimulating effect brought by this commentary on the battle report was to make Arsenal's main players "be shameless and brave". When Qin Xiong returned to the team to participate in training, the training atmosphere suddenly changed. The teammates were more serious than before and devoted themselves to their careers than before.

When the second half of the season has begun, a new round of healthy competition has quietly begun.

Qin Xiong returned to the team to train without distractions. Since he had been overtaken by Chelsea, this made Arsenal more serious and focused when preparing for the league.

However, Wenger always needs to keep the mentality of the players stable during training and not be overly distracted by the rankings in the standings.

January 22.

Arsenal welcomed Newcastle United in Highbury.

The two teams had just fought less than a month ago, and the second half of the match schedule was scheduled. The two teams met earlier, so they met again soon.

Silva's absence gave Fabregas a chance.

Qin Xiong has just returned from injury, so he dare not fight too fiercely in the game.

But he was in great trouble!

The trouble caused to him by his teammates.

Fabregas and Vieira are both midfielders.

But the two had a conflict in their thinking when they participated in the offense.

Although both of them can play the back of the midfield, they have a forward consciousness and their activity inertia is vertical, that is, before they enter, they go to the other party’s penalty area.

When Vieira and Silva partnered with Silva, Silva was in the midfield defense. Vieira sometimes stepped forward, and Qin Xiong would take the initiative to create opportunities for Vieira. He also pulled the side to the right and worked with Loneberg to create the horizontal width of Arsenal's offensive effect to tear the opponent's defense line width.

However, when Vieira and Fabregas stepped forward to participate in the attack at the same time, Qin Xiong must pull the side, but the problem is that after the two of them came up at the same time, Qin Xiong's role was reduced, and there was no one on the back midfielder!

This led to the counterattack of Newcastle United showing a very sharp effect in the early part of the first half.

If there is no one on the line afterwards, the defender must push up, otherwise a parallel defensive line will have no sense of layering. The opponent can break through the defense line with any ball behind him!

In the first minute of the game, Dele got a counterattack opportunity in the frontcourt. He dribbled the ball into Arsenal's penalty area, and Toure topped it to act as a midfielder defense. Arsenal's defense suddenly became extremely empty. Dele did not give Tolei a close press and sent a straight pass to Bellamy.

Before Bellamy entered the penalty area, Lehman, who had a huge range of movement, had already decisively abandoned the goal. He slipped the ball outside the penalty area line and knocked down Bellamy down. The referee's whistle sounded, Lehman was punished for a foul and showed him a red card!

Lehman was extremely angry when he left the court, but he was not protesting the referee's penalty, but was dissatisfied with the team's defense!

Who is it? Not sure.

Maybe the midfielder and defender are within his criticism.

This German goalkeeper who had had a fierce conflict with Henry before the season is not a softie. He thinks he is a victim of Arsenal's poor defense in this game, and it is understandable to make some verbal venting.

"Oh no, Arsenal played less than one player in the first half. If Lehmann did not abandon the goal, Bellamy would get a one-on-one chance, but he might be more calm. Think about it a little bit. Even if Bellamy scored this goal, Arsenal still played at least 11 players. There is plenty of time for the game, but now he has to fight 10 players. It is worth it, which one is worth it."

Wenger frowned on the sidelines.

He had long noticed that Fabregas and Vieira had a conflict with him as a double midfielder, but he still had a lucky mentality at that time, thinking that Fabregas was young after all, and when he came to the team in 2003, he stayed in the youth team for a while, and whether it was training or playing with Vieira, he had not been able to get through for a long time.

He felt that after half a season, if you try this combination again, maybe the effect will be better.

But in the past twenty minutes of today's game, it is no exaggeration to say that the conflict between Vieira and Fabregas not only affected the performance of the two, but even Qin Xiong was affected.

Arsenal's midfield is extremely chaotic.

The cooperation error rate is higher than usual, and the most important point is the confusion of responsibilities and roles.

Qin Xiong failed to play the ability of the midfield organizer because the two players behind him have organizational skills. Fabregas wants to play a little, and Vieira also wants to play a little. If he was just one person, he could maintain balance and achieve the effect of not being bright in the east and being bright in the west. But if both of them play like this, a fierce conflict will be formed simply from the perspective of organizational role.

Just like a movie, it is impossible for everyone to be the protagonist, there should be a supporting role!

Qin Xiong should be the protagonist of the midfield organization. Vieira occasionally wants to grab a shot, no problem, but at least most of the time, Qin Xiong is the protagonist.

The current situation is extremely troublesome to Wenger.

It is impossible for him to put Fabregas on the bench for a long time. Young players need more training and Vieira is the leader of the team. This choice is too difficult.

Newcastle United began to have new ideas about the game after taking the numerical advantage.

In the previous fight, Newcastle United had tried the tactic of defending the dead, but it was not possible!

Sansones waving his arms on the sidelines, directing the team's attack.

Arsenal just experienced a failure and was ended with an unbeaten record. Now he has been sent off in less than 30 minutes. His mother! The opportunity to take revenge has finally come!

Newcastle United's morale was high, and Arsenal's defense was a little panicked when he played away in the first half. Fortunately, Amunia, who came on the bench, did not let his opponent break through the goal, and his performance was much better than expected.

Qin Xiong was expressionless when he walked into the player channel in the midfield, and he was thinking about his thoughts.

Wenger emphasized the defense of the midfielder during the halftime break.

But in the second half, after the game was played again, Vieira and Fabregas were still habitually pressing forward and attacking.

Because no matter whether you play one less or not, Arsenal must win!

Otherwise, if Chelsea would have opened the gap in the standings, it would have ruined all their previous efforts.

"Hey? Arsenal seemed to have changed in the second half. Qin Xiong actually returned to the midfielder line. He cut off the ball under Dell's feet. Dell probably didn't expect that after he broke through Fabregas, someone rushed over from the diagonal back to steal his ball!"

Yes, Qin Xiong made a sacrifice.

Take the initiative to return to the back midfield line.

For the team's victory.

Let him do anything.

Some things can be solved slowly after the game is over, but he has always had the awareness of sacrificing for the team when the game is in progress.

He doesn't feel that he can't show his strengths when he returns to the back midfielder.

On the contrary, he has a very deep impression of the outstanding midfielders.

He remembered Pirlo, the handsome Italian guy who acted as a drag-back organization in Milan.

Now he is playing on the field of copying Pirlo, and despite his different style of play, he has no problem with the organization.

His change also caught Newcastle United off guard. Sansones emphasized before the game that he should focus on blocking Qin Xiong on the back midfielder position. Now Qin Xiong has run away. As for who will attack, whether it is Vieira or Fabregas, they are all unsure.

Newcastle United suffered a severe blow after a long period of failure.

Hiller was stabbed by Campbell after receiving the pass from his teammate on the front line. Qin Xiong took the ball from behind from the back, made a right turn to confuse Dale and then turned from the left to complete the turn.

Seeing the situation in front of the field, Qin Xiong directly sent a long diagonal pass on the spot.

Only Ryonberg and Henry were left on the front line. Piree was replaced by Wenger in the first half because Lehman was sent off.
Chapter completed!
