Chapter 410 The Wave of the Peak Battle
In the 08-09 season, Professor Wenger's Arsenal set off a "red storm" in the Premier League that shocked everyone - the Premier League so far, the young gunners have unexpectedly become the only one that can remain as daunting as the madman Lee's. The team with a winning streak!
Such a result is slapping the five major league experts, the media and sports betting companies in the face!
Because before that, almost no one was optimistic that such a scout could get a good start in the 08-09 season... Among the UEFA Champions League odds offered by major European sports betting companies, Arsenal Arsenal's ranking is the lowest among England's traditional giants!
The reason is that the Gunners' performance in the summer transfer market really hurt the gun fans!
In the summer that just ended, Wenger firmly adhered to his consistent "positive control" transfer tendency in the transfer market, and introduced several unknown young players who did not help the competitiveness of the first team. Instead, he easily handed away several absolute main players of the first team - there is hope to become a team. The captain's Brazilian iron waist Gilberto Silva was forced away from the Greek giant Panecinox because of Arsenal's harsh contract renewal policy of "over 30 years old contract once a year"!
Hleb, the "super king" of Belarus, who has become the absolute main force in the midfield in three seasons since joining the Gunners, did not resist the charm of the Catalan giants**, and finally left North London for 1,500 euros to join the La Liga giants Barcelona!
The most regrettable of the lost players is the French new generation midfielder Flamini.
Wenger, who taught Flamini, was even blue with regret. Originally, Flamini had humbly pleaded to renew the contract with the club last season, but at that time, Wenger thought that he did not realize the value of renewal and ruthlessly refused Flamini's request... But no one expected that in the next season The unpopular French midfielder suddenly rose with a staggering attitude and became the unshakable soul figure of Arsenal's midfield!
At this time, Flamini's contract is about to expire. Finally, it's time for the club and Wenger to be anxious. Who knows that Flamini, who has great self-esteem, finally left the Emirates Stadium, which he didn't trust, because of the weekly salary difference of £5,000, and chose to transfer freely to Serie A giant AC Milan... ... lost the three tough players in the midfield in a row, but the professor only introduced the French young player Nasri.
In this way, except for the Gunners' soul Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal's midfield has been changed last season, which is no different from rebuilding the runners!
What can fans and media expect from such a Boy Scout with an average age of less than 25 years old?
In terms of age, this season's Arsenal are actually no different from the Newcastle runners created by the madman Lee... But the problem is that Newcastle has a [God on the side of the football field] who has not been defeated since the game, and Professor Wenger has shown enough in the past years. It's strong enough, but it's far from the terrible role of the Chinese who can replace half of the team as long as they fight to the sidelines... So before the disaster 08-09 season began, the Emirates Stadium was full of doubts about Wenger and the club.
The team's absence from the championship for many years has had a strong impact on the position of the French professor in the arsenal. What's more incredible is that there are fanatical Arsenal fans booed the Frenchman who almost rebuilt Arsenal on his own... Four A month ago, pessimistic disappointment enveloped the Emirates Stadium, and the clouds were bleak!
But after just over 130 days, all doubts dissipated!
The media that once questioned Wenger's voice quickly cheered the professor, and the fans who once asked Wenger to finish the class were ashamed to apologize to the professor... Cesc Fabregas, the core of the young Spanish midfielder, became more and more mature... Rookie Nasri proved to the English that he " The title of "Zidane's successor" is by no means a false legend... After putting on the No. 14 jersey, the little tiger Walcot finally took over the mantle of Thierly Henry, the former king of Hembley, with mature performance... Latham, who had just been promoted to the first team by Wenger, once again proved to the world that the youth training camp of the arsenal has never lacked heaven. Only... The children trusted by Professor Wenger are using their incredible strength to correct the name of "teacher"!
After the 14 rounds of the Premier League in the 08-09 season, Arsenal, which was originally the least favored in the traditional top four, actually relied on a group of baby soldiers to fight all the way through five levels and six generals... 14 consecutive wins!
Created the best start in Arsenal's history!
Now, they will face one of the biggest thresholds since the start of this season - at St. James's Park on November 25, Arsenal and Newcastle, two teams that are equally young but also maintain a 14-game winning streak, will compete at this event!
With a week before the game, the European media has begun to hype the game!
Because this is a duel between the only two "permanent generals" left in more than 100 teams after many rounds of the league since the beginning of the 08-09 season in the five major leagues!
08-09 season is a well-deserved "peak battle"!
Once Professor Wenger's "Red Storm" can continue the pace of miracles away from home. The Magpie Legion, which has been gradually tired since the last few rounds of the league, will be the famous French coach will be the first "god" to overturn the dark invincible rule of the madman Li from China in the five major leagues for nearly 1,000 days in the past three years. "!
In fact, Arsenal led by Henry, the king of guns, in the 2006-07 UEFA Champions League finals, almost drove the madman Li of the Real Madrid era into a desperate situation. In this respect, the French have a wealth of capital to fight against the madman Li!
If he can win at St. James's Park on the 25th, then Wenger will undoubtedly climb to a new altar with the invincible posture of 14 consecutive victories... Defeating the madman Li is the goal pursued by the head coach of every top club in the five major European leagues, and this time Wenger is close to this goal. The ruler!
I became a god in World War I!
Of course, if the young Magpie Legion can defeat the Gunner Arsenal who came to challenge at home, then Li Tongfan and his own Magpie Legion will become the only team to maintain a complete victory in the whole European five leagues and even the five major leagues in the 08-09 season!
This is the supreme glory that every team, every coach and every club diligently pursues!
The decisive battle will start at St. James' Park!
The whole world is paying attention!
... The battle of St. James's Park has attracted the attention of almost the whole world.
Football media reporters from five continents and seven oceans flocked to Newcastle, a seaport city with the reputation of "one of the world's eight entertainment cities"!
Major sports betting companies reluctantly lag behind and offered odds for the peak battle of the 25th. Newcastle was slightly ahead of Arsenal in terms of odds. James Long, executive president of the Austrian gambling company BWIN, once again learned about the company's approach in an interview with The Sun reporter Bruce Barbara. Interpretation--"... There are two reasons why we are more optimistic about Newcastle. The first reason is naturally the existence of crazy Lee. Now no one in Europe seems to be able to curb the pace of victory of the Chinese. Secondly, because of Newcastle's home game, the home atmosphere of St. James's Park is no less than that of the five major leagues. Any devil's home court..."
In the past few days, the barbed wire outside the Newcastle Reeburton training base is overcrowded.
Every day, thousands of people appear here in the cold of winter to watch the Magpie Legion's game. In addition to the fanatical Newcastle fans, there are also journalists from all over the world, as well as Arsenal's football and expatriate coaches... The fans are shouting "COME-IN-HOM" in the cold wind. E-NEWCASTLE cheers for their heroes. John Newton, a young bus driver, and his newlywed wife, Nili, who has gradually become a fanatical more than Newton himself, appear on the periphery of the base almost every evening... Reporters are in the iron A high-power camera like a Hessend barrel is set up outside the screen, constantly consuming film and cassettes, interviewing the fans without interviewing the players, and almost none of the Newcastle fans think that the game on the 25th will be troublesome for them - "... There is nothing to worry about, Mr. Rice Bucket has been ready for a long time. It's cut!!"
"We are worried about how to celebrate the team's victory, not whether we can win..."
"... Damn Londoners laugh and go back crying. This is the rule!"
"...not only them, any team that is visiting St. James's Park is like this. Don't take the victory from Mr. Rice Bucket..."
The support of Newcastle fans for the team surprised any reporter who visited the city for the first time. Ninety-nine of the 100 Newcastleians enthusiastically shouted long live the magpie like a cult, while the other one was because he didn't have time to answer the question.
Arsenal's expatriate coach from North London is also nervously observing Newcastle's preparations. Recently, crazy Lee's strange and changeable tactical arrangement in several consecutive games has made the media and fans have no idea what kind of tactics Newcastle will use in the next second!
"... Li, the madman who used to use a set of 4-1-2-1-2 diamond diamond tactics to fight invincible all over the world, has now become more mature and terrible. For me, how to contain Newcastle from tactics is simply doing the most difficult multiple choice question in the world!" This is the involuntary exclamation of "Violent Ben" Blackburn head coach Paul Ins in an interview with reporters after the end of the last round.
And this sentence obviously caught Professor Wenger's mind.
In order to gain insight into Newcastle's tactical configuration in advance, Arsenal sent out three scouts and two expatriate coaches to the Rigburton training base every day to observe the preparation training of the Magpies.
These "spies" wearing sunglasses and caps that almost cover half of their faces are mixed in the crowd outside the barbed wire, like Wenger's eyes, constantly reporting every original information they have seen to Professor Wenger in London... It seems that France The famous coach is determined to win this game!
