Chapter 288 The Old Enemy Arsene Wenger and Mourinho Exit

Arsenal played away against Chelsea, Chelsea [-]-[-] Arsenal.

Mourinho said sarcastically: "I envy him and admire Arsenal's courage. No club will support their coach as always. Without the support of the club, no one will coach 1000 games in a team. Especially when the team is in trouble, and there are more difficulties."

Wenger was thoroughly humiliated and did not attend the routine post-match press conference on the grounds that the Arsenal manager was leaving.

Regarding Wenger's early departure, Mourinho mocked: "I will not hold a press conference next time I lose, because the team bus is waiting for me."

After that, the grievances between Mourinho and Wenger, the old enemies, are far from over.

Mourinho was fired by Chelsea again, and when Mourinho took office at Manchester United, both of them had a fight.

Of course, Mourinho and Wenger finally cleared up their suspicions and reconciled.

At the Laureus World Sports Awards held in 2019, Wenger received the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Laureus World Sports Awards.

The former opponent Mourinho specially recorded a congratulatory video to Wenger: "There have been many episodes between the two of us along the way. I can only speak for myself. I really enjoy the competition with Wenger, but I have always respected Wenger."

For Mourinho's move, Wenger was very happy: "This is a surprise, yes, because we have had many battles, but time will heal everything."

The two are reconciled.

It is understandable for those who have been laid off by Mourinho and Wenger to clear up their suspicions at this time.

After all, the laid-off people will not be so angry and can get along peacefully.

Afterwards, during the 2019 UEFA Champions League final, beIN Sports also invited Mourinho and Wenger to comment on the UEFA Champions League final.

The two partnered to commentate the game. This luxurious lineup also attracted many fans at the time.

According to subsequent media statistics, the period with the highest ratings in this Champions League final was not during the game, but when Mourinho and Wenger talked about their private lives before the game.

However, although the two have reconciled, if the two return to their old careers and meet in a league, it is doubtful whether the two can get along well.

When Mourinho returned to Chelsea to coach, he also said in front of the media: "Wenger is a good guy. After I left England, I met Wenger in the European War, the European Cup, the World Cup, and we had dinner together.

We met at the European Coaches Conference and it was a great atmosphere, I loved talking to him about football and when we were not in the same league I found Wenger to be really good.

Even though I'm back in the Premier League now, I still respect him and I will respect him.

Of course, even between friends, sometimes you may say something that the other party is not willing to listen to, but my respect for him will not change. "

However, after Chelsea and Arsenal met later, the performance of the two was not so friendly.

Therefore, if the two really want to meet again on the field, the spark of grievances may still be able to spark.

Manchester City beat Aston Villa away and Manchester United beat Everton [-]-[-] at home.

The international break in October has also started, and the European Cup qualifiers are also underway.

During the international match day, as the training ground of Liverpool, which is a big international player, the Melwood training base should be a little empty, but the reality is not like that.

The Melwood training base is still a bit lively.

As the captain, Gerrard has withdrawn from the England national team, and the team still has four or five injuries.

Adding up, nearly half of the starters didn't leave either.

……

Liverpool host Queens Park Rangers in the eighth round of the Premier League.

After the international match day, fortunately, Liverpool did not add any new injuries, and several players who had been in the recuperation room before this game also returned from injuries, such as Liverpool's new aid Emre Can.

In the first half, neither team achieved anything, but the Rangers played more proactively, with Zamora and Fell hitting the crossbar twice in a row.

In the 68th minute of the second half, Liverpool quickly sent a free kick. Glenn Johnson crossed the goal from the right. Dunn stretched his foot in front of the goal and accidentally scored an own goal.

Dunn presented this own goal gift, and he also set a record, becoming the first player in the Premier League to score an own goal in double figures.

Dunn has scored 12 goals for his side in his career, but scored 10 own goals.

In the 87th minute, Vargas picked a pass in the penalty area, Lovren made a header to clear the siege and went behind him, Austin's header was ferried, and Vargas outflanked and broke the net in front of the goal, one to one!

It seemed like the game was going to end in a draw, and it didn't seem like much to watch.

However, in fact, the game did not reach its climax until stoppage time.

Injury time just started, Gerrard went straight, Coutinho got rid of the defense on the left side of the penalty area and scored with a low shot with his right foot, [-] to [-]!

In the 92nd minute, Fell made a cross and Vargas scored with a header from the near post, two to two!Vargas scored twice!

In the 95th minute, Liverpool quickly counterattacked, Sterling made a cross from the left side of the penalty area, and Caulker, who returned to defense, accidentally blocked the ball into his own goal, [-] to [-]!
One game, two own goals.Such a defeat is difficult for the QPR players to accept.

After all they would have been able to score a point at home, maybe even a win.

Judging from the data of the whole game, both sides shot 15 times. Queens Park Rangers led the Red Army 6 times with 5 shots. In terms of corner kicks, Queens Park Rangers also led Liverpool.

So Liverpool's victory in this game can really only be said to be Liverpool's good luck.

However, it is only their luck that Queens Park Rangers can play against Liverpool at home.

If it weren't for Liverpool's players who had just finished playing in the national team and didn't get a rest, plus Liverpool's many injuries, there was no way to be full-time, how could Queens Park Rangers be able to play against Liverpool?

Liverpool's captain Gerrard also frankly admitted in the post-match interview: "We are very lucky today. I want to be honest. If we leave here empty-handed, there should be no complaints. We need to perform better. Everything needs to improve. But we are really happy to get 3 points."

In the eighth round of the Premier League, Southampton played against Sunderland at home. This should have been an ordinary game, but the final result of the game shocked many fans.
