Chapter 134 Turbulent Arsenal
Wenger looks aggressive, and the team is also strong. Previously, AC Milan and Fenerbahce were eliminated, and their overall strength is superior. Coach Wenger is an excellent tactical master. Arsenal seems to have no reason not to go further.
However, unlike the previous two rounds of knockout matches, this time, people coincidentally said that they were more optimistic about Florence, and Arsenal's away trip would obviously not be smooth.
When the captain of the team walked out of the safe passage, he could see some clues from his gloomy face. Gala was a famous slut on the football field. When he was also complacent on the court, Gala was interviewed by The Sun just a few days ago, revealing a lot of news of discord in the team. For example, after the North London derby was scored 4:4 by Tottenham, Van Persie and Walkot almost fought in the locker room. For example, a player in the team is a black sheep, and several teammates have complained about this person to him.
When The Sun asked who the player was, Gala almost gave the answer: "I reminded this person in the game, but I was insulted by him in turn. He is very young and six years younger than me.
Gal said, and the Sun immediately pointed the finger at Van Persie, Sarnia and Ebb. Only the three Arsenal players were 25 years old.
Other young Arsenal players were also criticized by Gala.
"They got a high salary when they were very young, and then they didn't want to make progress. And young Manchester United players have to wait for many years to be like them, so the young people of Manchester United can always win something.
This vent caused a lot of trouble for Gala. Wenger held a team meeting and passed the following penalties for Gala: a ban, of course, only for the Premier League.
At the same time, there is news that Gala is likely to be deprived of the captain's armband by Wenger, and the new captain is likely to be young Spanish young player Fabregas.
The ban on events is small, and the deprivation of the captain's armband is big.
For Gala, Wenger is obviously unbearable this time and has been cruel. Teammates also rarely sympathize with Gala. For a long time, there have been objections to the French wearing the captain's armband in the locker room. Many people complain in private that Gala is cowardly, **, lacks leadership temperament, and is not good at uniting the team.
Public opinion is even more bold to assert that Gala's days at Arsenal are coming to an end.
Big Mouth Gala made Arsenal's locker room unpeaceful, and what was a headache for the senior management of the Arsenal club was that the renewal negotiations of head coach Wenger's contract were not going very smoothly.
David, vice president of the club. After Dane's resignation, there were a series of changes in Arsenal. Whether Wenger, the coach who has a good personal relationship with the vice president, can continue to coach the gunners has become the focus of media attention. Although Arsenal's senior management immediately launched a contract renewal offensive against the professor, Wenger said that he could only guarantee that he would coach according to the contract in 2008, which is the end of the season.
Dane, vice president of Arsenal, has been at Arsenal for more than 20 years, and he can be said to be a key figure for the North London club to become a world-class giant. During Christmas, he announced his resignation because of a dispute with the club over whether to sell the team, which also caused great turmoil within the gunners.
Wenger formed a deep friendship with Dane during his coaching Arsenal. With the strong support of the vice president, the French made Arsenal regain its former glory. Now with the departure of his friends, it has become uncertain whether Wenger's gunnery career can continue. Although the club has always hoped that the professor can renew his contract as soon as possible, Wenger only reiterated that he will fulfill his contract and continue to coach Arsenal until the end of the contract in 2008.
Wenger also said in an interview: "I have no comment on the media's speculation. I can only say that my contract will not expire until 2008, during which I am also the head coach of Arsenal. I will continue to do my best for the team. If Dane hadn't resigned, people wouldn't have been so interested in my contract. Now I don't want to talk about whether I will stay or not. I need to take care of the feelings of the fans. I am still full of feelings for Arsenal. Now I only think about the remaining games of this season and the development of the team.
Although he said that he would continue to stay in the team, Wenger still regretted Dane's departure. According to him, "We have lost an elegant, intelligent person who has made unlimited contributions to the club, which is a huge loss for us."
The dressing room is not peaceful, and the head coach has sprouted his mind again. This season is an eventful season. In the league, it withdrew from the competition for the championship early. Even now, towards the end of the season, it is only in fifth place, five points away from the same city's rival Tottenham Hotspur. Can it advance? Next season's Champions League is still a question.
For Wenger, the Champions League has become his last chance, not to continue his Gunners coach career, but to leave something for the team he has worked hard even if he leaves.
On the training ground, tomorrow is the day of the game. Arsenal is making final preparations. Wenger's expression on the sidelines looks a little serious. When he was interviewed by reporters at the airport yesterday, they were completely two people. Yesterday, he was in high spirit and worried today.
Who will be the next captain of the team? The whole team is concerned about this!
Everyone can see that this time, Wenger is not going to condone Gala any more, but no one will object to depriving Gala's captain's armband. Speaking of which, there are really few people who like that big French mouth in Arsenal.
Ture, Fabregas, Krishna!
These three players are valued by Wenger and intend to take over the captain's armband.
But Wenger is uncertain about who to choose. If it is just in terms of time of service, Colo. Toure is obviously the best candidate, but the loose character of African players makes Enger hesitate.
Crich is Wenger's fellow French fellow and has always been a strong supporter of Wenger. If he is the captain, he will definitely help Wenger manage the team more effectively, but Clichy, like Gala, has a big mouth and has a good relationship with Gala.
Then there is only Fabregas left, but he has just turned 20 years old. Is it really okay to hand over this burden to this young Spaniard?
Thinking of this, Wenger began to hesitate again, put his hand into his pocket and clenched the captain's arm logo!
"Sesk! Come here!"
