Chapter 62 The Future Challenge of the Christmas War
As Rennie whistled, Arsenal's away game against Aston Villa ended, and Aston Villa was of course beaming.
But Wenger was very dissatisfied. He directly pointed out the penalty at the press conference, thinking that it was a New Year's gift for Arsenal's fans.
After the game, The Times published a photo to report the game. In the photo, the image of an angry Wenger was extraordinarily large, and his fingers pointed directly at the pitch. The referee, Rennie, obviously meant that Wenger was dissatisfied with the performance of the Arsenal players and the referee's penalty, which became the mainstream voice after the game.
Various newspapers said that Arsenal's players were obviously not concentrated enough on the field, wasting too many opportunities, and underestimated the enemy. Coupled with Rennie's misjudgment, Arsenal eventually lost points at Villa Park Stadium.
With the passing of 5, every newspaper is analyzing the pros and cons of each big club. Regarding Arsenal's team analysis, Sky Sports' Adams's "Premier League 5" feature is the most profound.
He pointed out: "Arsenal's achievements so far this season are amazing. This season, Arsenal only lost one game by accident. In other games, even against Chelsea, they have achieved two wins and one tie. record.
But this blinded Arsenal's players, but they didn't see more. There is a huge lack of Arsenal's personnel.
In the backcourt, Senderos did not become the main force of the team as Wenger expected, but was just a qualified substitute, sometimes not even qualified.
At the same time, the defense has suffered serious injury problems. With Campbell getting old, Arsenal's defense does not have a reassuring leader, even Ashley Cole.
In terms of midfield, Pires and Ljungberg are no longer the pair of Magic Wings they used to be. It is more about their physical confrontation at the back end of the game, and their injuries often recur this season. .
In terms of newcomers, Hleb and Flamini are expected, but they are just expectations. They cannot replace Pires and Ljungberg, let alone Vieira.
Cesc Fabregas is good and can become a top field player, but he needs more help, just like Gilberto Silva back then, a player who can attack and defend, not an increasingly mediocre engineer-Silva.
On the forward line, this is what Arsenal do best, and it is also a place that every team should learn from. Although Lee is a 17-year-old player, he is already the most terrifying attacker in every Premier League team. Robin’s progress is also huge. With Lee’s help, he has gradually approached the Ice Prince.
Similarly, Thierry is still the most feared striker in the Premier League. His state is enough to last until 4 years later. Without injuries, he can make the whole world go crazy. Dennis is an older and more dexterous player. At any time, as long as his physical strength is sufficient, it is enough to bring destruction to the opponent's defense.
The advantage of the forward line is the most important guarantee Arsenal has achieved so far this season.
But once Arsenal can't play their offense, they will play very difficult and passive like the game where they lost those points. More opponents will make troubles on Arsenal's defense line.
I'm looking forward to Ashley Cole's early return and Toure and Senderos filling Arsenal's backline quickly
. "
At this time, Li Yuxin was at home, thinking about the journey of the new year. Arsenal still had the risk of losing all four clubs. He quietly watched Adams comment on the performance of various clubs in the first half of the season on the screen, and he also quite agreed with his views.
And Arsenal’s situation is not as good as Chelsea, rivals like Manchester United. In the original history, Chelsea was the Premier League champion this season and the Red Devils regained the league title next season. There is also a reason for the stable performance in these years: compared with Manchester City, which is also a local tyrant
Not to mention specific topics such as historical background, but in terms of the current team's strength and lineup, Chelsea can't say that it can be ranked in the top 5 in Europe, or at least one of the top 10.There are three main reasons why Chelsea can significantly improve its strength in just a few years after Abramovich took over:
1.Abramovich had a good foundation before taking over. Around the middle of the 90s, starting from Hoddle, Chelsea, which has experienced Gullit, Vialli and Ranieri as coaches, has become one of the strongest teams in the Premier League after Manchester United and Arsenal.
2.After Abramovich took over, the massive injection of funds gave Ranieri and Mourinho a full guarantee for buying big-name players in large quantities.The team has introduced Duff, Bridge, Joe Cole, Makelele, Cech, Carvalho, Drogba, Robben and many other stars who have made outstanding contributions to the team from the Premier League teams and foreign countries, so that the strength of the team has increased rapidly.
3.The joining of the champion coach Mourinho has given Chelsea, which is already ready for everything, the wind of becoming the strongest team in the Premier League and even Europe.His coaching philosophy and technical and tactical thinking also quickly allowed Chelsea to form a stable style of play and lineup, which is also the basis for the team's strength in the future~ Moreover, the two coaches have in common that they pay great attention to the team's defense and seek counterattacks on the basis of a solid defense. This is also a good guarantee for Chelsea to achieve good results and maintain stable results.
The above three reasons are equally important and indispensable (and dialectically unified).Therefore, an important part of the credit for Chelsea becoming a "real quasi-rich/quasi-strong team" should go to Mourinho.
For Manchester City, since the summer of 08, it seems that people can vaguely feel the situation when Abramovich took charge of Chelsea.The same injection of a large amount of foreign capital, the same boss supporting the head coach, the same burning of money, the same goal of becoming a wealthy family, the same mainly poaching some not-so-famous but very strong stars from the teams around them, the same arousing authority and traditional team responsibilities, contempt, worry, panic... It can be said that there are many similarities
However, there are two big differences between Manchester City now and Chelsea then:
1.Before the injection of foreign capital, the strength base of the team itself.Compared with Chelsea at the time, which was a quasi-strong team in the Premier League, Manchester City, which was only upgraded in this world, can only be said to be a mid-level or even mid-lower team.Although there is a lot of money to buy players, the improvement of the team's strength requires a process of accumulation.
2.The level of coaching (first of all, to clarify, I am not saying that Hughes' ability is not good).At that time, neither Ranieri nor Mourinho had rich coaching experience and achieved good results before joining Chelsea.And Larry Hughes, although Ferguson's proud disciple, his coaching is limited to a little shot at Blackburn.Although he is the same young coach as Mourinho, Hughes lacks a lot of experience compared to Mourinho's learning experience in Barcelona.
In general, Manchester City, which has signed a large number of signings in three transfer periods, has improved by leaps and bounds in terms of strength. It can be regarded as a quasi-strong team in the Premier League and has the strength to wrestle with the traditional top four.If you want to truly become a strong team/rich team in the European arena, Mansour, Cook, Hughes, the whole team still has a long way to go, and burning money is not enough!
And there is also Manchester United: Since the establishment of the Premier League in 1992-93, it has been 19 seasons. The Red Devils Manchester United have won the title 12 times.This is the culmination of Manchester United's hard work for nearly half a century, and it is also a great monument to Ferguson's coaching art. Manchester United took advantage of the commercial reform of the Premier League to skyrocket to 19 miles and completely changed the general trend of the English league.
In 19 years, the fourth in the UK became the first
Since Preston won England's first top league championship in the 1888-89 season, there have been several dynasty teams in British football. In the 1893 years of the 1900-7 season, Aston Villa won 5 titles and became the first dynasty club in history.Manchester United did not win the old League One title for the first time until the 1907-08 season, and their rival Liverpool had reached the top of England 7 years earlier, but neither team can talk about dominance.Since then, in the mid-20s, Huddersfield won three consecutive league championships under the leadership of Chapman, creating the first three consecutive championships. In the 30s, under the leadership of Chapman again, Arsenal reached the top 5 times in 4 seasons, and won three consecutive championships for the second time. In the 50s, Busby's Manchester United might have created a fourth dynasty, but the Munich Air Disaster in 4 not only shattered their dream of three consecutive championships, but also severely damaged this talented "Busby Babies".Chelsea's only title of the 1958th century was won in the 20-1954 season. In the 55s, Manchester United and Liverpool once took turns to sit on the bank. In the early 60s, Leeds United and Derby complemented each other.However, starting from the 70-1975 season, Liverpool won 76 championships in 5 years, and Shankly created a superstar in the boot room. In the 4s, he won 80 championships.Before Manchester United was crowned king in the first year of the Premier League in the 6-1992 season, they missed the league title for 93 years, and that was also the club's darkest era.
In the more than 100 years before the Premier League, Liverpool ranked second with 18 crowns, Arsenal ranked second with 10 crowns, Everton ranked third with 9 crowns, Manchester United tied for fourth with Aston Villa with 3 crowns, Tottenham and Manchester City ranked 7th with 4 crowns, while Chelsea only had 2 crown.From this point of view, in the League One era, Liverpool was the real boss. Arsenal, Everton, Manchester United, Aston Villa, Sunderland, Newcastle, and Sheffield Wednesday were considered traditional strong teams, while Tottenham, Manchester City, and Chelsea were not even quasi-rich.
But it was the opening of the Premier League era that changed the framework structure of the English league. Manchester United also reversed Liverpool's status in the arena in one fell swoop by virtue of 12 championships in the Premier League era.In the Premier League era, the Red Devils went smoothly, and the right time, place and people were indispensable, creating the "T-Rex" of the Premier League era.
Manchester United's greatest godfather
Ferguson's history at Manchester United is familiar to too many fans, so I won't repeat it.In terms of personal ability, Ferguson is well-deserved as the number one football manager in England.His comprehensive scores on personnel management, transfers, building a championship lineup, cultivating young talents, and creating offensive football are unmatched. Opponents such as Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger and Chelsea coach Ancelotti may be better than Ferguson in terms of transfers and tactics, but overall no one is better than Ferguson.
The smartest thing about Ferguson is that he can play by ear, super error-correcting, and learning ability to keep pace with the times.Although he is approaching the age of 70 now, he is determined to forge ahead, and he can also adopt the method of evasion and concession to overcome difficulties when the times are not good for him, and then find a chance to make a comeback. The 2004-05 season was his slightly empty season, and it was also the closest he was to dismissing get out of class.For Ferguson, what is valuable is not his countless championships, but his ability to play a bad hand well even at the most difficult moment. This is a truly high-level super coach.
Originally, people thought that Ferguson could only spend money to buy people, and the transfer lacked the finishing touch like Wenger. However, in the summer of 2009, he sold Ronaldo for the first day price in history of 8000 million pounds. Before the end of last season, he picked Xiaopea Hernandez in time.
At the most critical moment, Ferguson can always make the most correct decisions, which is also an important reason why he can often have the last laugh in the Premier League, which pays attention to the lineup and rotation ability.And repeatedly reversed the opponent to win the cup at the end of the season, the team also showed the head coach's precepts and deeds, showing his blood and fighting spirit.
Cantona is gone, Beckham is gone, Keane is gone, countless superstars have left Manchester United, but the Red Devils have never fallen, only because of him, a Premier League No. [-] football manager who is destined to fall in the technical area.With Ferguson in one day, the number of Manchester United's Premier League titles will only continue to increase.
Athletics rely on: Three regardless of the chairman and Sir Charlton's support
Every dynasty needs a powerful person, a dictator, and an emperor, and Sir Alex Ferguson is the founder of the Manchester United dynasty.
There used to be many rival fans who questioned, despised and even humiliated Ferguson, but since taking over the Manchester United coach in 1986, Ferguson has shut up those who attacked him obediently time and time again, because his performance is the best counterattack. The opponents around him have come and gone over the years, but he is the only one who has not changed.Manchester United fans may not be afraid of anything else now, even if the club has a huge debt after the Glazer family took over, it is not a problem, but once Ferguson's health problems are unsustainable, it will be the moment for Manchester United to accept a subversive ending, just like the Red Army Liverpool for nearly 70 years from the 90s to the early 20s.
Ferguson must thank him for appearing in a suitable era, surpassing Matt Busby's 24 years, 1 month and 14 days to become the coach with the longest coaching time in the history of Manchester United. Ferguson must first thank the then chairman Edwards for not being as impatient as the current Chelsea boss Abramovich.Ferguson has coached Manchester United for more than 20 years, and there are not many times when there is a real crisis of getting out of class. The time in 1990 was considered by the world to be a turning point. Later generations have always said that Ferguson will be dismissed if he can't win the FA Cup with Nottingham Forest.But Ferguson denied this: "I still remember the TV commentator Jimmy Hill at the time. He said in the warm-up before the game that Manchester United players looked lost. This is really a startling comment to me. But before that game, Manchester United chairman Martin Edwards promised me that I would not sack me. Of course, no one knows how the fans will react if we are kicked out of the FA Cup, or even relegated. In that case I would probably leave, but no one knows. What the hell is going to happen."
It was Edwards' inaction that gave Ferguson enough time to build his great youth academy and cultivated the 92 generation. It was also the sufficient financial support Edwards gave him that allowed him to buy Cantona, Roy Keane, Schmeichel and other Red Devils superstars successively.Of course, the chairman is indifferent to football and prefers to peep in the women's bathroom. Therefore, Sir Bobby Charlton, the honorary chairman who knows football, has become Ferguson's strongest supporter. Every time there is a crisis, he is the one who protects Sir Alex and prevents Manchester United from losing the greatest coach in history.Therefore, a good life is the most important part of Ferguson's success.
Business achievement: build the richest club
With its commercial development in line with the trend of the times, Manchester United has become the richest club in the UK, which is the basis for the success of the Red Devils.Judging from Ferguson's huge investment in the transfer market over the years, we can see the club's strong financial resources. It is the use of Taylor's report to rationally expand the stadium, increase commercial brand development, and expand the club's global influence. In the past 20 years, Manchester United has gone from England to the world.
Here, the Red Devils may want to pay tribute to the Taylor report that proposed the construction of "All-Seat Stadiums". After the Hillsborough tragedy, the British government appointed Justice Taylor to investigate the safety hazards of the All-England Stadium.
British football has two world brands: Manchester United and Liverpool. 19 years ago, England's top league was restructured, and League One became the Premier League. Sky TV began to inject huge funds into the league. Manchester United made the most active and effective response, and they tried their best to maximize the market potential.For this change, Manchester United coach Ferguson obviously played a more important role. His success on the field made it easier for people in suits and ties to make money backstage.In the football industry, success on the field and commercial profitability of the team complement each other.
Compared with Liverpool's management, Manchester United's then chairman Martin Edwards, the last two CEOs Peter Kenyon and David Gill are more visionary.At that time, Old Trafford only had a seating capacity of 44000 spectators, which did not meet the requirements of the Taylor report and needed to be improved. Manchester United not only responded immediately to ask for improvement, but also successfully transformed the club system into a public limited company (Public Limited Company).
In 1991, Manchester United's fundraising and establishment plan, the expansion of the stadium was the most important part, and the results were the most significant.When the stadium seating capacity was expanded to 1996 in 55000, Manchester United did not stop expanding.They found sponsors, received millions of pounds in sponsorship funds, and even went to the Far East, which has the most Manchester United fans and Liverpool fans in the world, to tour the game, so as to raise funds to expand a larger stadium. In 2000, Old Trafford could accommodate 68000 spectators, and by 2007, the number of spectator seats had expanded to 76000.Up to now, there are tens of thousands of fans waiting in line before each season to obtain club season tickets.
老特拉福德球场并非全欧最大的俱乐部赛场，甚至仅仅排第10位(少于诺坎普、圣西罗、卢日尼基、基辅奥林匹克、罗马奥林匹克、伊杜纳公园、伯纳乌、圣保罗和柏林奥林匹克)。但这里却是全欧洲票房收入最高的“金库”―――上赛季即便因英镑贬值，也突破1。05亿镑(折合1。28亿欧元)。
According to the British "Independent" report, from 2010 to 2013, the overseas broadcast rights of the Premier League were sold at sky-high prices. From this season to the 2012-13 season, the total income of the Premier League's broadcast fees for the three seasons reached 12 billion pounds.Therefore, in this season, the broadcast fee income of each Premier League club will be 500 million pounds more than last season.In terms of total revenue from broadcasting fees, the Premier League has far surpassed other European leagues. It is currently 10 times that of the Bundesliga, 5 times that of Serie A, and 3 times that of La Liga.The Premier League broadcast fee allocation plan for this season has been officially released. The Premier League champions will receive a share of more than 5700 million pounds, while Manchester United won 12 championships, which is also the most lucrative in terms of broadcast income.These two major incomes, coupled with huge advertising contracts and commercial sponsorships, have allowed the Red Devils to stand at the top of the Premier League wealth list, and even top the richest club in Europe.
Facing them, Arsenal has a huge disadvantage. It is true that Arsenal is also a traditional gate in England, but because of the construction of a new stadium and business philosophy, and the rise of Chelsea and Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool are really hard brothers.

Therefore, Sir Bobby Charlton, the honorary chairman who knows football, has become Ferguson's strongest supporter. Every time there is a crisis, he is the one who protects Sir Alex and prevents Manchester United from losing the greatest coach in history.Therefore, a good life is the most important part of Ferguson's success.
Business achievement: build the richest club
With its commercial development in line with the trend of the times, Manchester United has become the richest club in the UK, which is the basis for the success of the Red Devils.Judging from Ferguson's huge investment in the transfer market over the years, we can see the club's strong financial resources. It is the use of Taylor's report to rationally expand the stadium, increase commercial brand development, and expand the club's global influence. In the past 20 years, Manchester United has gone from England to the world.
Here, the Red Devils may want to pay tribute to the Taylor report that proposed the construction of "All-Seat Stadiums". After the Hillsborough tragedy, the British government appointed Justice Taylor to investigate the safety hazards of the All-England Stadium.
British football has two world brands: Manchester United and Liverpool. 19 years ago, England's top league was restructured, and League One became the Premier League. Sky TV began to inject huge funds into the league. Manchester United made the most active and effective response, and they tried their best to maximize the market potential.For this change, Manchester United coach Ferguson obviously played a more important role. His success on the field made it easier for people in suits and ties to make money backstage.In the football industry, success on the field and commercial profitability of the team complement each other.
Compared with Liverpool's management, Manchester United's then chairman Martin Edwards, the last two CEOs Peter Kenyon and David Gill are more visionary.At that time, Old Trafford only had a seating capacity of 44000 spectators, which did not meet the requirements of the Taylor report and needed to be improved. Manchester United not only responded immediately to ask for improvement, but also successfully transformed the club system into a public limited company (Public Limited Company).
In 1991, Manchester United's fundraising and establishment plan, the expansion of the stadium was the most important part, and the results were the most significant.When the stadium seating capacity was expanded to 1996 in 55000, Manchester United did not stop expanding.They found sponsors, received millions of pounds in sponsorship funds, and even went to the Far East, which has the most Manchester United fans and Liverpool fans in the world, to tour the game, so as to raise funds to expand a larger stadium. In 2000, Old Trafford could accommodate 68000 spectators, and by 2007, the number of spectator seats had expanded to 76000.Up to now, there are tens of thousands of fans waiting in line before each season to obtain club season tickets.
老特拉福德球场并非全欧最大的俱乐部赛场，甚至仅仅排第10位(少于诺坎普、圣西罗、卢日尼基、基辅奥林匹克、罗马奥林匹克、伊杜纳公园、伯纳乌、圣保罗和柏林奥林匹克)。但这里却是全欧洲票房收入最高的“金库”―――上赛季即便因英镑贬值，也突破1。05亿镑(折合1。28亿欧元)。
According to the British "Independent" report, from 2010 to 2013, the overseas broadcast rights of the Premier League were sold at sky-high prices. From this season to the 2012-13 season, the total income of the Premier League's broadcast fees for the three seasons reached 12 billion pounds.Therefore, in this season, the broadcast fee income of each Premier League club will be 500 million pounds more than last season.In terms of total revenue from broadcasting fees, the Premier League has far surpassed other European leagues. It is currently 10 times that of the Bundesliga, 5 times that of Serie A, and 3 times that of La Liga.The Premier League broadcast fee allocation plan for this season has been officially released. The Premier League champions will receive a share of more than 5700 million pounds, while Manchester United won 12 championships, which is also the most lucrative in terms of broadcast income.These two major incomes, coupled with huge advertising contracts and commercial sponsorships, have allowed the Red Devils to stand at the top of the Premier League wealth list, and even top the richest club in Europe.
Facing them, Arsenal has a huge disadvantage. It is true that Arsenal is also a traditional gate in England, but because of the construction of a new stadium and business philosophy, and the rise of Chelsea and Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool are really hard brothers.
