Chapter eight hundred and fortieth new arsenal
For Wenger, the Arsenal is now another team he has reorganized. Arsenal, who was unbeaten in the season, only two players who can play the main players, namely goalkeeper Lehman and central defender Toure. Among the other nine people, Lauren went to Portsmouth, Campbell also went to Portsmouth, Ashley Cole went to Chelsea, Vieira went to Inter Milan after joining Juventus for a season. Gilbert Silva was constantly injured this season and has become a substitute. Lyonberg transferred to West Ham United, Pire transferred to Villarreal, Borgkamp retired, Henry has become a player of their opponent Mallorca...
In just three or four years, Arsenal has experienced such a huge change, and it would be strange if the results are good - in this case, Wenger can still keep the entire team in the Premier League championship ranks and enter the knockout stage of the Champions League every year, which is indeed a rare and commendable thing...
Arsenal has been in the most difficult times in the economy in recent years. The debts of building the stadium have to be paid back a lot every year. Wenger is no longer a simple head coach can explain it. He has all the transfer power in the club, and he is also a shareholder of Arsenal. Therefore, Wenger cannot leave Arsenal to coach other teams. He has greater power and more freedom than other head coaches. However, it is precisely because of this that he needs to run the club more cautiously. He not only needs to consider whether the team is strong, but also the team's balance of income and expenditure, because this is closely related to his interests. {net.}//Fastest 78xs//
Jose felt that if he had not been able to get all control of the club at that time, but had only obtained a part of the club's shares, he would probably look like Wenger now, working hard to ensure the interests of everyone every year, and then getting a decent score, so that the team would be ranked in such a position, and then take the chance to see if there was any one of the years that could win some substantial championships and honors...
"Sometimes dictatorship is also beneficial..." Jose sighed in his heart. If he hadn't had control of the entire club and allowed the entire Mallorca to rotate around his will, would Mallorca have today? Even if he would become a strong team, he would probably be an ordinary strong team every year, and would occasionally have the chance to win the championship.
However, Jose is confident that he can do better than Wenger, because Wenger may have been reborn in 2005, but he was reborn in 2012...
For Wenger, encountering Mallorca now does make him feel a little trouble. In recent years, Arsenal's adjustment period has been a period of adjustment, and the replacement has almost been completed. However, the newly formed team is too young and lacks experience. It is difficult to achieve any good results without a year or two of accumulation. Facing Mallorca, who is at his peak, has a reasonable age structure and is full of confidence, the chance of winning is indeed not too high.
However, as a professional coach, it is naturally impossible to say goodbye before the battle. This game is their home court, and Arsenal is not without the strength to compete.
Van Persie, who transferred to Arsenal this summer, was unlucky because although he was once the main player of Arsenal, he was absent for a month due to injury after a period of time and was constantly injured during his return. Now he has lost his main position and can only serve as a substitute. Before this game, he was unlucky and injured again and is destined to miss this game.
Jose was also a little surprised. When he was in Mallorca, Van Persie was rarely injured and was not glassy at all. Why was he injured when he went to Arsenal? Does it have anything to do with the climate? From the warm Mallorca to the cold London, he started to be injured constantly? Maybe...
However, at this time Jose has no time to think about Van Persie. Since Van Persie has left his team, there is no need to be responsible for Van Persie. If it weren't for the task of introducing superstars, Jose might not want to introduce Ronaldo, then Van Persie will be gradually straightened as Mallorca's third striker... But there is no if, since he has already transferred and left, Jose doesn't need to worry about Van Persie anymore, especially when he will not play in this game.
Apart from Van Persie, other Arsenal players are relatively healthy. At the beginning of this season, Arsenal played very well, with Fabregas as the core, they played the most beautiful offensive football in the Premier League. Wenger's football philosophy has never changed, and his formation has never changed, with four or two parallel positions, two wing forwards who can be midfielder, one drags the forward and one tops the front center, one in the midfielder is responsible for defense and the other in the organization of offense. All his signings revolve around this framework. If there are signings that do not meet this framework, he will also transform this player into the way he needs - for example, Rosici, after transferring to Arsenal, was transformed from a midfielder to a full-time forward...
I forgot to say that in Arsenal this season, Rosici is even worse than Van Persie. He was diagnosed with a serious knee ligament injury due to his accumulated injuries and reinjury in January and will be absent for 18 months!
Although he changed to play as a full-time forward in Arsenal, Rosici is still an important player of Arsenal. His organizational ability and long-range shooting ability are important pieces in Arsenal's offense. His absence and Van Persie also made Mallorca pick up a good persimmon.
On February 21, at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal ushered in the aggressive Mallorca.
Unlike the mixed appearance of the main substitute in the last round of the league, Mallorca sent all the main players in this game, goalkeeper Van der Sar, defenders Macon, Riser, Matthias, Pepe, midfielders Senna, Alonso, Barack, Kaka, striker Henry and Klose. This is the first time Henry returned to the Emirates Stadium after leaving Arsenal after transferring to Arsenal. Arsenal, who played at home, sent their traditional 442 formation, goalkeeper Leman, defender Sarnia to the right, Crish to the left, and the center back is Toure and Gala. In the midfield, Ebue played as the left midfielder, with Heleb on the right, the two midfielders are Fabregas and Flamini, and the forward team is Croatian forward Eduardo and Adebayo, who is very popular recently.
This is a brand new Arsenal and an Arsenal with a very low average age. If the old goalkeeper Lyman in his thirties is excluded, the average age of the other ten players on the court is less than 25 years old...
There are naturally many highlights of this game. Henry returned to the Emirates Stadium, the confrontation between two hot-tempered players Adebayo and Pepe, Fabregas against Spanish national team member Alonso... These are all highlights.
When Henry appeared on the court, Arsenal fans welcomed the captain and top scorer who had been with the team for eight years with applause. Henry also raised his arms to greet the stands. No one would doubt Henry's feelings for this team. He left Arsenal at the age of 30 because he pursued a Champions League championship. No one can blame him for not being wrong, of course, except for extreme fans...
Such extreme fans are indispensable to any team. Although the applause has an absolute advantage, there are still harsh booing from a certain corner. These extreme fans are the most loyal fans of Arsenal. They do not like any team except Arsenal. In their eyes, any player leaving Arsenal is a traitor and Judas. From the club's perspective, such fans are of course valuable because they will not weaken their preference for the club because of the coming and going of some players. However, for the players themselves, being booed by these fans is not a pleasant feeling.
Henry just thought he didn't hear these boos. It was these fans who complained last season that when he was injured and missed nearly half of the season, he had complained that his absence had been affected for so long, so that the team was eliminated by Eindhoven in the first round of the Champions League. When he expressed his intention to leave Arsenal, he scolded him for not worthy of being an Arsenal player... If he really cared so much, he would have been very annoyed.
Not being disturbed by these booings is a must-have quality for a player.
Most of the Arsenal players respect Henry very much, but there are exceptions - Adebayo is Arsenal's number one scorer this season. He has scored 16 goals in the league and has also performed well in the Champions League. Henry's departure gave him a solid main position, and he is also very successful and scored a lot of goals - this performance has made the young Togo scorer a little inflated. He even shouted the slogan "If Arsenal cannot win the league championship this season, I will retire!" Of course, as Arsenal's condition declines when the winter break comes, he kept silent about this matter...
For Adebayo, it is difficult for him to understand the feelings of Arsenal fans for Henry. He is already a rough old guy, and he is still so popular. Only me, Emmanuel Adebayo, is Arsenal's top striker now!
I must score a goal in this game to tell everyone this fact!
Unfortunately, before the game, Jose arranged for Pepe to guard Adebayo. To say that Adebayo's physical fitness is indeed good, tall, excellent in confrontational ability, and not slow, but Pepe is not inferior to him in these aspects. It is more appropriate for him to guard Adebayo, while Mathias drags back and defends to prevent Eduardo and others from suddenly moving forward.
While shaking hands, Adebayo saw Pepe staring at him. He snorted disdainfully in his heart, thinking that you are looking at what you want, do you still want to be able to stare at me?
Adebayo doesn't really think much about Pepe, who has gradually become the main player of Mallorca last season. This is related to his not paying much attention to La Liga. Naturally, I don't know that although Pepe is not one of the top central defenders in La Liga, he is also Mallorca's main central defenders. Moreover, his characteristics are also very suitable for guarding players like Adebayo who are tall, strong and have considerable flexibility.
Although Wenger told Adebayo to be careful of Pepe's defense before the game, Adebayo didn't care at all. This season, under Arsenal's frontcourt's attack like mercury, most of his goals were as simple as taking pictures. This made the Togo forward start to think that scoring a goal is a very simple thing. As long as his teammates pass the ball in place and run a few times, he can score a goal...
Pepe saw the disapproval in Adebayo's eyes - he was more sensitive to this, so he immediately snorted in his heart - underestimate me? Then you have to pay the price! Don't think that if you score more goals this season, you will be awesome. I have seen many powerful shooters and defended a lot. I don't care about killing you more!
