Chapter 38 Trouble in the European preliminaries
Chapter 38 Trouble in the European preliminaries
After the game, Li Yuxin rushed back to London. After returning to London, he arrived home first and found that Mendes was not there. Now that Li Yuxin’s reputation is getting bigger and bigger, he has no time to negotiate contracts with many merchants. Li Yuxin had to go back to Highbury to gather and resume physical training.
The next few days will be preparations for the next round against Birmingham. At the same time, the punishment for Li Yuxin has also been announced. Li Yuxin has been suspended for three games. As soon as this penalty decision came out, it immediately attracted a lot of controversy. They thought the punishment was too light.
However, the FA has its own considerations. This season, Li Yuxin’s performance has become one of the signs of young people in the Premier League. The major European leagues not only have to compete in terms of club performance, but also the competition between big-name players and young talents, as well as the output of stars. Therefore, they do not want to suppress Li Yuxin because of this. What’s more, Li Yuxin is not taking the initiative to provoke trouble, and he is under 1 years old. The FA’s decision is justified.
Li Yuxin has no time to take these things into consideration. The team's results are his only consideration. For the home game against Birmingham, Henry, Pires, Lauren, Li Yuxin, Campbell, and Silva cannot play.
Sure enough, after the start of the game, Arsenal played extremely passively. Several forwards could not play alone now. Even Ljungberg interspersed from time to time to play as a guest forward. Birmingham wanted to take advantage of Arsenal's serious lack of personnel to break Arsenal's undefeated gold this season, pressing fiercely.
Li Yuxin was sitting in the stands, watching his team being so passive. Although he was very anxious, there was nothing he could do. The fans in the stands were also sitting very depressed. Compared to the previous rounds, Arsenal's offense was really bad, and the defense was not good.
Soon the dreary first half passed, and Arsenal was tied by Birmingham at home o-o.Seeing the depressed expressions of his teammates, Li Yuxin felt connected with the team for the first time, wishing to replace himself, but at this time, only Tong Henry and a few injured players came over to encourage his teammates.
Soon after the second half of the game began, Wenger immediately changed his formation when he was on the field, replacing Bergkamp with Larsson and playing a [-]-[-]-[-] formation. Sure enough, this change was beyond the expectations of Birmingham coach Steve Bruce. Soon Arsenal took control of the game by virtue of their effective control of the frontcourt.
But Arsenal was just loud and rainy. After more than 20 minutes of stalemate, Arsenal finally broke the score. Cesc Fabregas passed the ball, and Van Persie turned offside and attacked.
In the 806th minute of the game, Cesc Fabregas received a return pass from Van Persie at a distance of one meter from the goal. He directly hit a world wave and hung it in the upper left corner.
After the game, Wen Getan said that this game was very lucky, Arsenal's difficulties are not over yet, but he believes that his team can support it.
Immediately after this game, the World Cup qualifiers will be ushered in. Similarly, this time Li Yuxin still did not receive the call from Eriksson, which caused the whole of England to fall into huge controversy.
Many fans have gone to the residence of the FA and Eriksson to throw eggs. You must know that England's qualifying situation is very delicate now, and the personnel are not organized. If you are not careful, you may go home in the group stage of the qualifiers.
Who is the England player you most want to see in the qualifiers in the Sky Sports Voting Program "Who is the most wanted to see?" 》, Li Yuxin followed behind Beckham, beat Gerrard and Lampard, Li Yuxin also became the most popular player who was not selected for the England national team,
The small number of football big names, such as Wright, Shearer, Henry and other famous players in British football expressed their disbelief.
Henry was interviewed by L'Equipe and talked about Arsenal's situation. When he mentioned Li Yuxin, he said: "I am very happy at Arsenal now. I don't want to talk about transfers. My teammates can make me trust. Just like Lee, it's hard to imagine. Lee's talent, he is an incredible player. It's a pity that you can't see him now because he was not selected for the England national team. It's even like Cantona was not selected for the French team.
When Shearer accepted the Daily Mail, he said: "I support Eriksson's work. I think he can lead England to some honors, but I think Lee's failure to be selected may be England's loss. You must know that his performance this season is enough for him to compete for the best player."
Mourinho also expressed his incomprehension. After being interviewed by the Portuguese domestic media and predicting that the team might be unpopular again, Mourinho directly pointed out England. "I don't know why Eriksson didn't choose Li. You know, every coach is very eager for such a player. I really want to coach Li, but I know it's impossible this season."
Mourinho is not afraid to expose his covetousness towards Li Yuxin. When he proposes an offer to Abramovich, he directly raises the offer to 5 million pounds, but before Chelsea can act, Arsenal immediately rejects all offers related to Li Yuxin. Mourinho is quite regretful about this.
Although the outside world has a lot of calls for Li Yuxin to be selected for England, Li Yuxin was not included in the final 25-man list. Eriksson explained that the match against Austria was related to the qualifying situation, and he would not destroy the team's original tacit understanding and formation for this one player. Moreover, Li Yuxin is still young, so he will not consider recruiting Li Yuxin for the time being.
But the real reason is Li Yuxin's oriental blood. In fact, in the eyes of those bureaucratic FA officials, it is unacceptable for them to use people of Asian blood in the barren land of football to represent English football, the origin of modern football. Therefore, given the choice, they will definitely not accept Li Yuxin easily.
And Eriksson is also a coach with a high self-esteem. He doesn't want the media to judge him again and again. At first, the use of double virtues and Beckham's state have made Eriksson worry. Therefore, Li Yuxin, who has risen this season, does not have strong connections. Eriksson will not let go easily.
And far away in China, whether Li Yuxin will be selected for the England national team has also caused huge discussions. Most of the fans expressed their support for Li Yuxin's decision on the website.Some radical fans even hope that Li Yuxin can return to Chinese nationality, but they start a debate with the die-hard "Li" fans.
But these have nothing to do with Li Yuxin. When he saw that Eriksson didn't have his list announced, Li Yuxin just threw the remote control casually, hugging the beauty's soft body thoughtfully. He thought further: the [-] World Cup is an opportunity to make money.
The European qualifiers are finally over, and all the clubs can feel at ease, but if you want to say which team is the most miserable, it is Arsenal. Ashley Cole, Campbell, and Hleb came back with injuries. Ashley Cole and Hleb were confirmed absent for six to eight weeks after the inspection.
In the ninth round of the league, Arsenal challenged West Brom as a guest. Wenger had to send a group of baby soldiers, goalkeeper Lehmann, defenders Senderos, Toure, Eboue, Clichy, field Flamini, Fabregas, Larsson, Ljungberg, forwards Van Persie, Bergkamp.
On the other hand, Arsenal’s bench is full of young players, but it’s an injured battalion full of big names. Li Yuxin is not in the mood to participate in their discussions. The outside world generally believes that Arsenal is very likely to break their undefeated golden status in this game.
After the start of the game, Sibro will obviously use his home court advantage to play with this shallow water sleepy dragon.Sibro used his physical advantages to constantly attack Arsenal's backcourt. Veteran Kanu was quite familiar with Arsenal's tactics and frequently pressed forward in Arsenal's frontcourt, forcing Arsenal to be unable to organize effectively for a while. attack.
After surviving Sibro's three tricks, Arsenal's technical advantage began to show its power slowly.
In the 201st minute of the game, Arsenal got a chance. Bergkamp's shot from outside the penalty area was blocked by Kaklan, and Ljungberg took a corner kick.
Since Senderos made several mistakes against Chelsea, Wenger has begun to be somewhat dissatisfied with the Swiss teenager. In addition to Sigan's outstanding performance and Campbell's recovery from injury, he is rarely used in these rounds. He was suffocated in this game.
Seeing the arc drawn by Ljungberg, he has already jumped to his vicinity. Senderos, who is 1.9 meters tall, jumped high. The fans in the stands only saw a ferocious head on top of everyone's heads. "Damn it, that man is so ugly, it would be great if Xiao went." ． ．
Senderos had no time to take care of his own image, his body stiffened in the air, and he flicked hard against the falling ball, throwing the ball heavily into the far corner.
"gooooooo~~~~~~l, we are ahead, Senderos, a teenager from Switzerland, he proved himself, he proved that injuries can't knock us down - Arsenal~~~~~~."
"Ah~~~." Excited Senderos ran and called, throwing his teammates far away and cheering at the Arsenal fans.
"Great." Seeing the ball, Li Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief, and jumped out, waving his arms.
Wenger also felt that his body seemed to be a little lighter. At this moment, he had no confidence in his mind. After all, he had changed the entire main lineup for the game. This ball made Wenger at least not fidgeting.
After being scored by Arsenal, Sibro started to attack fiercely. The three teenagers on the field could only pour the ball down frequently under the pressure of the opponent, but they couldn't pass high-quality balls.
After Sibro lost a goal, even if he changed his formation, he started to attack. Barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes anyway. In the 309th minute of the game, Kanu intercepted the ball sent by Eboue to the frontcourt.
Wenger immediately encouraged the confidence of the players on the field, asking them to make more breakthroughs, and asking Van Persie to play his habit of cutting inside instead of blindly waiting for the ball.The situation in the first half made Wenger believe that his team can win the second half with effective attack.
Soon the second half started again, and Arsenal took advantage of the first stage to launch a fierce attack. Unfortunately, without Li Yuxin and Henry, Arsenal became unable to shoot. Van Persie even showed twice that the goal frame was not lucky for Arsenal.
After attacking wildly for [-] minutes, Arsenal, who had gained momentum but failed to score, was hit hard again. Carter used the cooperation mistakes of the two defenders in several counterattacks, cut in from their joint, pushed and scored from the far corner, and reversed the score for Sibro, who was at a disadvantage.
"G~~~~1, we are ahead, we are ahead of Arsenal, Carter, Carter, Brian can bring us miracles~~." Sibro's commentator screamed into the microphone frantically.
After this goal, the whole stadium fell into a frenzy, "Nice job, Carter." West Brom's bishop, Brian Robson, jumped up excitedly and hugged his players. If he beat Arsenal, he would definitely write a brilliant stroke on his football resume.
"Damn it." Seeing the conceded goal, Wenger slapped his hands a little annoyed, with a livid face, walking around the side of the bench, as if he wanted to sit down but walked away immediately, a little fidgeting.And Li Yuxin and his teammates were also expressionless. Now he can't wait to ask to play immediately, but unfortunately this is only his second suspension.
After that, Arsenal's offensive became more fierce. In the end, there was almost one defender left behind to defend. The penalty area was often crowded with no less than six players. Toure even had a few long shots.
But this team that came up from the British Championship has already shown its own strength. At this time, all of their eyes are on the ball, just like they were rushing back then. They have never been so eager to win this season. They use all means to defend their victory.
Wenger has already replaced Ljungberg and Larsson with Abeye and Lupoli, just for the final goal.
Hawthorn Stadium once again sounded the familiar melody "strteduttesesn-ntingstppedus, everythingsgingrigrigtrigtrigt!..."
The flying singing finally turned into all the motivation to rush to the court. In the last seven or eight minutes, Cesc Fabregas has completely turned into a forward, and shooting has become his only goal. For the first time, he feels that his body is not enough. His own shooting skills are ugly, and Van Persie almost carried the opponent to break through and complete the action at the last moment.
In the last 1 minute, Arsenal's consecutive four-footed attacks showed how eager they were to equalize the score, and the protagonist of this game was destined to be only one-Kirkland.
Kirkland is destined to become famous after this game, as long as Arsenal's shots are blocked by him, Larsson's one-handed, Bergkamp's free kick, Van Persie's push, Fabregas' long shot He even took an own goal from his teammate from the goal line.
With the end of the last madness, the referee also blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the entire Slag Stadium fell into a huge celebration. They defeated Arsenal at home and defeated the Premier League champions.They became the second team to beat Arsenal this season.
Li Yuxin, Henry and others returned to the locker room with their teammates to comfort the depressed teammates. Seeing the depressed Fabregas and Van Persie, they hugged them and comforted them. They have tried their best in this game.
The defeated Arsenal players simply cleaned up and returned to Highbury immediately, just like a wounded lion returning to lick its wound.
When Wenger was interviewed after the game, he did not criticize his players in any way. He was very pleased with the desire for victory shown by his players. Although he lost the game and broke the only upset of this round, Wenger Grid doesn't seem to have any loss, and still firmly believes that his team is on the right path.
But the media after the game did not make matters worse. "They still have the heart of champions" is the Mirror's comment on Arsenal's performance in this game. "Congratulations to Eriksson, he has another fortune-Kirkland". The Daily Mail paid attention to the best player of the game.
"Wenger: Damn Qualifiers" The Sun newspaper commented on the game with a cartoon of Wenger snarling at the president of UEFA and the president of FIFA.
Wenger returned to Highbury to comfort the players, telling them that this was just an ordinary round of league matches, and they would play the Champions League next, telling them to cheer up, Wenger would use the Champions League to regain morale.
