Chapter 118 Iron-Bone Armory

"This Valentine's Day, you've had a good time, haven't you, Arsene?"

On the afternoon of February 2, Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger heard such voices at a press conference.

He really had a great time this Valentine's Day.

The 2015-16 season was an extremely chaotic season for the Premier League.

The former overlord, the Red Devils, Manchester United, still haven't found a suitable candidate three years after Ferguson retired. The Dutch champion coach Van Gaal is struggling and embarrassed at Old Trafford. It seems that he can't even guarantee the top four.

The overlord of the older days, the Red Army Liverpool, was also in deep trouble. Rodgers dismissed get out of class halfway, and the newly appointed Klopp is still trying to adapt to this league, but their position is getting farther and farther away from the top four.

Chelsea, the defending champion and Iron-Blooded Blues, experienced the infighting farce in the first half, and the meritorious coach Mourinho was kicked out for the second time by Abramovich. The league champion of last season is still struggling to keep relegation...

The situation of Blue Moon Manchester City is not much better. The league has just entered the sprint stage. It was revealed that Manchester City's top management had reached an agreement with Guardiola. The current head coach Manuel Pellegrini and the players suddenly became restless. Everyone They all began to think about their own future. For the next game, it was difficult to go all out as before. Pei Gong also focused on the Champions League. As for the league... Barely keeping the top four position is considered as the completion of the task.

In the 26th round of the league, the top of the list is not any of the above-mentioned traditional semi-finals, but the Blue Foxes and Leicester City, which barely relegated last season. The dark horse led by Italian tinker Ranieri unexpectedly won The posture leads the entire league!
And ranked second, it is Arsenal led by Wenger.

Just two days ago, on Valentine's Day, Wenger sat at the Emirates Stadium and beat the leader, Leicester City, with a score of 2-1, reducing the difference between the two sides to 2 points.

2 points, in any case can not be regarded as natural moat and gap.

In this February, the loudest call for winning the entire Premier League... turned out to be Arsenal!

All experts are analyzing that there are still 12 rounds in the league, and it is impossible for Leicester City, which has only a two-point advantage, to maintain the lead until the end. Although Arsenal often lose points in the sprint stage, compared to the inexperienced Rice Techeng appears to be more reliable.

Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Chelsea all have the task of the Champions League or the Europa League, and Arsenal will obviously repeat the mistakes of the Champions League Sixteen Lang. After sending away Atletico Madrid to advance to the quarter-finals, Arsenal, who have no other distractions, can concentrate on it. Sprint League!
The competitors are collectively sluggish, but the leader is a team with no strength. This season's league championship is almost going to Wenger's hands. It is no wonder that the professor who has always been refined and introverted can't hide his happy face:

"London's winter is about to pass, we must seize this spring and make some achievements..."

Chen Hao, who was sitting in the visiting team's speech booth, looked at the smug professor coldly, but felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Professor Wenger did not pay enough attention to the upcoming Champions League knockout round, and was ready to kneel down and beg for mercy.

Sure enough, when looking forward to tomorrow's game, Wenger said frankly:
"We got a draw and it's frustrating, but I also have to admit that Arsenal and Atletico Madrid are not in the same world, so I don't push my players as long as they play their football. Style, just enjoy the process of the game..."

Just as Chen Hao was about to ridicule him, Simeone spoke before him:

"What an admirable attitude, Mr Wenger, so...are you going to play the whole game with us?"

Wenger's clean and fair face suddenly became paler:
"This is London and the Emirates Stadium. We will use practical actions to defend the dignity and honor of the club!"
-
It must be the easiest thing to be a keyboard warrior and a mouthpiece, but when you actually operate it, you find that everything is completely different.

Goalkeeper: Ospina.

Defenders: Gibbs, Chambers, Gabriel, Mertesacker.

Midfielders: Elneny, Flamini, Iwobi, Chamberlain.

Forwards: Giroud, Welbeck.

On the evening of February 2, when he saw Arsenal's starting lineup, Simeone let out a contemptuous laugh:

"I thought Wenger, the Frenchman, was a tough guy who would rather die than surrender. I didn't expect him to be more cowardly than I imagined! The second in the Premier League, can't you have a real fight with us? game?"

Assistant coach Boggs glanced at the main players such as Sanchez, Ozil, Ramsey, Petr Cech, Coquelin, Koscielny, etc. sitting on the bench, and spread his hands and said:

"You want to watch an exciting game with real knives and real guns? Yes, then call that number 11 player back?"

Simeone grinned:
"What are you talking about, fat man? It's too windy in London, I can't hear you!"
-
Although Arsenal's lineup is based on substitutes, it may not be really weak, at least in the Premier League, it can also cross the middle and lower reaches of the team.

If these substitute players show their ambition, they may be able to explode with stronger combat effectiveness and unexpectedly create some threats to Atletico Madrid.

But these are just good assumptions. When Chen Hao stood in front of them, these Arsenal players all chose to retreat!

For a long time, Wenger's tactical thinking and style have deeply permeated this team, like a frog boiled in warm water, in this Arsenal, there has never been a ferocious and fierce temperament.

The head coach has given up on this game. As a substitute, what reason is there to fight to the last breath? !
On the opposite side is Atletico Madrid, which is doing its best. Even Barcelona and Real Madrid have to kneel in front of them and beg for mercy!
Our Arsenal subs...what the heck?
Dare to fight against them in front of them? ! -
Feedback after the game proved that this must be the most boring game in this Champions League.

The Arsenal players sitting at home only resisted for 38 seconds from the beginning to the end, and gave up resistance before Chen Hao's dribbling advance!

When Chen Hao drove in from the middle of the home team, Mertesacker's turn seemed to have passed a century!
When the classic car from the arsenal completed its turn, Atletico Madrid No. 11 had even fished the ball out of the net!

Under the pressure of Atletico Madrid's frontcourt, Arsenal's substitute players, who have always admired artistic football, played as chaotically as if the Chinese team and the Indian team!
Even the most common long pass to split the sideline can make their players flustered for a while, and even stop directly from the sideline!
After finally bringing the ball to Atletico Madrid's penalty area, Welbeck tried to take the opportunity to cut inside while pedaling his bicycle smartly, but he tripped himself just as he was about to spend the night!
Felipe made a big-footed pass to the frontcourt, and Griezmann, like a light armored vehicle, beeped along the sidewalk for 50 meters, and then slammed across the middle without greed, assisting his teammates to complete the shot!

Chen Hao, Chen Hao, Griezmann, Chen Hao...

The game lasted less than 10 minutes, and Arsenal fell behind by four goals at home, and there were even boos in the stands of the Emirates Stadium early!
"Wenger OUT!"

Those extreme fans couldn't wait to shout the slogan of "Wenger get out of class", completely ignoring the fact that they are still very likely to steal the championship in the league.

They can accept defeat, but they absolutely cannot accept that their team kneels and dies without resistance at the door of their home!

Faced with the boos of these fans, Wenger did not become an ostrich, he resolutely stood up from the bench.

He stared at the biting cold wind at the Emirates Stadium, and stood firmly and stubbornly in the command area.

"Attack! Attack!"

He yelled at the players on the field.

Then he watched Thiago steal the ball from Iwobi's feet and Cork sent a through ball!
After that things are much simpler.

The No. 11 player easily overtook from the closed double-teaming of two defenders, and faced the ball with a strange arc!

"Oh!"

Wenger spread his hands helplessly amidst the live broadcast.

I tried my best!

But we can't beat him!
We can prepare for the Champions League next season!
