Chapter 28 Victory and Thinking

The distress of Chairman David of the FA did not have much impact on the Arsenal players, although they were asked by reporters from time to time about the recent refereeing incidents and the "petitions" of several club coaches.However, they only expressed their dissatisfaction with Weber and the line referee, and did not say anything else.

After Wenger handed over the "submission" to the FA, he also quieted down. Arsenal is already preparing for another London derby, and the third round of the match against Fulham at home.

In an interview with BBC, Fulham coach Coleman already said that his players have come out of the defeat against Blackburn. The team is eager to score points at Highbury, and even eager to get the first victory at Highbury.

However, Coleman's words are destined to be ignored, and the British media has positioned Fulham as the favorite for relegation.

And Wenger also disdained Coleman's remarks. In an interview with the Daily Mail, Wenger said that although his team lost some players, Ljungberg was able to play in this game, and after the team lost to Chelsea, their morale was not greatly affected, and they could definitely win this game.

"Gun fans, hello, I'm your friend Senke. Now I'm explaining our third round match between Arsenal and Fulham at Highbury Stadium. Let me introduce our team lineup: Thierry Henry, Lee, Freire Ljungberg, Silva, Hleb, Robin van Persie... Arthur still uses the [-] he is good at."

And Fulham's lineup: Goalkeeper: **** Nar; Defenders: Waltz, Knight, Lehman, n-Jenson;

"Fortunately for this game, we didn't see Webber, but Klattenburg, now the game started, and Li Yuxin gave the ball to Puff on the road..."

At the beginning of the game, Arsenal used their strong strength to press Fulham's players tightly in their own half and besieged them.

In the 12th minute, Ljungberg, who had returned from injury, passed Fulham's full-back N-Jenson, glanced at the goal, passed the ball with his right foot very quickly, passed in front of the two defenders, and fell directly to the left side of the penalty area.

Li Yuxin appeared on the ball path like lightning, without stopping the ball, he volleyed with great force, just to catch him off guard.

It's a pity that Gnar was very excited today. With a side attack, he stretched his body as hard as he could, and slammed Li Yuxin's goal.

"Oh, it's a pity, our Li's shot was miraculously saved, it's unbelievable." Senke said with some annoyance, while the fans at the scene sighed.

Ljungberg glanced at the crowd in the penalty area, immediately swung his right foot, took the corner kick, drew an arc, and quickly flew into the penalty area.

Henry saw the path of the ball, took advantage of Toure's cover, ran towards the front point of the ball, kicked vigorously, jumped high, swung his shiny head heavily, the ball quickly changed direction, and flew to the back point.

At this time, Xigan, who had just come back, took advantage of the opponent's player's mistake, jumped high at the back point, rubbed the ball behind Henry, hit his head directly, and hit the ball hard. The ball hit the target accurately.

"gooooo...L, beautiful, Xigan, Xigan scored. Today our team is in good shape and we are ahead."

Arsenal took the lead in the No.13 minute of the game, but after Fulham was scored a goal, they were a little stunned. Originally, their own strength was not as good as their opponents, and they fell behind so early. They lost their game in the next ten minutes.

All of a sudden there was a loud, neat "arsenal, arsenal..." shout from Highbury.

On the sidelines, Coleman tried his best to call the players to focus on the game and not to make mistakes, but just as the Fulham players stabilized, they were hit hard again.

In the 305th minute of the game, Hleb received a pass from Toure and sent it straight to Li Weier in the penalty area. Li Yuxin glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that Henry was in a higher position. Instead of catching the ball, he quickly ran past the ball and gave it to Henry's feet.

After Henry received the ball, he quickly rushed into the small penalty area, using his speed skills, swayed Knight's defense, dodged a shooting angle, and dexterously rubbed the ball against the turf, directly into the dead corner on the right side of the goal.

"gooooo...L, Thierry, our king, this is his fifth goal in the league, and this is only the third round, king..."

"King, king..." Henry, who scored a goal, slid on his knees excitedly and came to celebrate in front of the fans shouting his name.

"You are so beautiful, Li." Henry hugged Li Yuxin happily, brought Li Yuxin in front of the fans, and enjoyed the cheers from the fans.With more matches, the cooperation between Li Yuxin and Henry became more and more tacit.

Seeing Henry's sincere smile, Li Yuxin was also sincerely happy. He was finally able to be truly recognized by his idol, and enjoyed the cheers of Highbury together.

Seeing that his team made another victory, Wenger felt relieved. A one-goal lead was too unsafe. With a two-goal advantage in hand, Wenger could sit on the coaching bench with peace of mind, talking to Pat from time to time, with a relaxed expression on his face.

Coleman yelled at his team members in frustration. He fell behind by two goals in the first half, and what he said before the game was like a clown's performance. Seeing that some of his players didn't seem to collapse at last, the anger in his heart decreased a little, and he just returned to his seat with a livid face.

For the rest of the first half, Arsenal completely controlled the game. Arsenal still attacked Fulham madly. Unfortunately, after Fulham fell behind by two goals, although they did not launch an effective counterattack, they also stationed troops on their own. In the backcourt, Arsenal will never let Arsenal score goals on him again.

Although **** Gnar was scored twice by Arsenal in the first half, he also saved several beautiful shots in the first half, but Li Yuxin suffered the most. His four shots were all blocked by the magical **** Gnar, which made Li Yuxin very depressed.

After the half-time break, Wenger immediately reminded his players not to be careless, but facing such an opponent and the relaxed atmosphere in the first half, the Arsenal players didn't care much about Wenger's words.

And Fulham coach Coleman shouted at his players hysterically: "What are you doing on the field, come here for a walk, you are players, I want you to attack in the second half, attack, I don't want to be laughed at Get out of here, understand?!"

The 15-minute break soon ended, players from both sides entered the field one after another, and the game resumed.

After Fulham was "beaten" by the coach after the break, their morale has improved a lot, and their offense has also been organized.After the "comfort" in the first half, the Arsenal players relaxed a little, and let Fulham control the situation of the game for a while.

Wenger frowned as he watched Fulham's aggressive attack and the inexplicable mistakes of his own players. His eyes fell on Li Ge and Van Persie.

The second half of the game lasted more than ten minutes, but Arsenal did not have an effective attack, only some sporadic shots. On the contrary, although Fulham's offensive organization is not very smooth, he can always grasp some opportunities and win in Arsenal's goal. He created some murderous intentions before, which scared the home fans into a cold sweat.

Slowly the Arsenal players also entered the state of the game, but the performance of Li Ge and Van Persie disappointed Wenger. Although some of their movements were light and beautiful, they were not as focused as in previous games. Some passes and movements were a bit simple.

"Damn it." Li Yuxin patted his left foot with some complaints after another kick flew away, feeling rather frustrated.

In the 70nd minute of the game No.[-], Fulham's persistence finally paid off. Li Yuxin was eager to attack and made a mistake in passing the ball. Lehman intercepted the ball in the backcourt and sent it directly to the feet of Fulham's field players. Boamot took advantage of the opportunity of Arsenal's defense line and succeeded in anti-offside from the combination of Sigam and Lauren's defense.

Wenger watched his team get a goal by Fulham, and shook his head dissatisfied.Wenger glanced at Van Persie and Li Yuxin on the field.I am very dissatisfied with the performance of the two. The loss of the ball was caused by the cooperation error of the two. The smooth progress during this period made the two young players a little careless.

"Oh, my God, our players were careless. Hey, Wenger made a substitution at this time. What's going on? Could it be that he was dissatisfied with someone? There was indeed something wrong with Li's performance in the second half today."

Wenger looked at the time, ready to make a substitution, and asked Bergkamp and Song, who was newly signed this season, to warm up.

At this time, there was a new change in the stadium. Arsenal, who had been attacked for a goal, finally began to show strength. Under the leadership of the old players, Arsenal finally showed its sharp fangs.

Ljungberg broke into Fulham's penalty area with the skillful cooperation of Silva and sent the ball to the goal accurately. Henry used his own speed to grab the ball in front of Lehman, received the ball, turned around and completed a volley. Flat hopes shattered.

"Goooo... L, it's still our Li, the genius Li, he has scored goals in four consecutive games, it seems that the professor doesn't need to be replaced, Li has made up for his mistakes." Senke excitedly "interceded" for Li.

Wenger looked at the cheering players on the field, although his face was less dignified, but he still started his substitutions. In the No.705 minute of the game, the fourth official quickly made a list of substitutions. Li Yuxin was replaced by Bergkamp, ​​and Van Persie was replaced by Song.

Li was stunned for a while when he was substituted. He had just scored a goal. He still didn't believe in Wenger's decision, and he had never been substituted in a game before, but he soon realized that substitutions in games are normal.

Li Gexin doesn't want to be replaced yet, because he has scored four goals in a row, and he feels that he is in good form now, and wants to use the remaining time to see if there is a chance to score another one, so as to sweep away the depression in the second half of today.But seeing Wenger's stern expression, he had no choice but to walk down honestly.

"Good job, but we have to watch the next game." Bergkamp said a few words to Li Yuxin before going on the field.

5-1 is the final score. In the 10th and 805th minute of the game, Henry received a through ball from Bergkamp and scored again. No. [-] minutes, Bergkamp scored directly with a free kick.

Li Yuxin sat quietly watching from the sidelines, still not understanding what Bergkamp meant to him, and even why Wenger replaced him, he was a little confused, although a conceded goal was due to his poor catch and wading a bit too far, causing a mistake, but he immediately made up for it, even though it was a lucky ball.

After the game, Wenger glanced at Li Yuxin, who was still thinking, and saw that he was still a little confused. He knew that Li Yuxin still had too little experience, and his ability to adjust his state on the spot was still insufficient. Wenger also knew that for the 7-year-old Li Yuxin, it is still too high to hope that he will grow up to be a world-class player. Wenger can only hope that Li Yuxin will grow up as soon as possible.

Li Yuxin was still thinking about the intentions of Wenger and Bergkamp, ​​when Pat came over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Li, what are you thinking, this is the game video that Arthur gave you, you should pay attention to it."

Seeing Li Yuxin half-understanding, Pat handed the USB flash drive to him, and said, "You were a little distracted during the game, Li, after leading, you and Robin were too casual. Arthur doesn't want this to be your shortcoming, understand?"

Henry also came over at this time, patted Li Yuxin on the shoulder and said: "Li, you pay attention to your performance in the first and second half, understand." After speaking, he followed Wenger to the post-match press conference.

Only then did Li Yuxin seem to have grasped the reason why Wenger changed himself. He nodded gratefully to Pat and Henry. After returning to the locker room, he simply rinsed off and drove home immediately.

In this game, Arsenal won the expected victory, but the eyes of the reporters have turned to Li Yuxin at this time.

In this game, Li Yuxin himself was a fan of the authorities, so he didn't understand his poor performance, but these seasoned sports reporters could see clearly that Li Yuxin's performance in this game was a big difference from the performance in the previous three games, so they quickly flocked to the cloth room. Although they knew that Wenger would not let Li Yuxin come out, Wenger's attitude at this time is also worthy of their study.

When Wenger and Henry arrived at the press conference, the flashes never stopped. At this time, a big victory and Li Yuxin's performance made them look like sharks smelling blood.

"Coleman, your team lost to Arsenal in this game. Not only did they not score points as you said before the game, but they also scored 5 goals. You only scored [-] point in the first three rounds. Is your goal this season to avoid relegation?" Now the reporter has begun to add insult to injury.

"Sir, we are not a relegation team. Please note that Ying has only played three rounds, so we are definitely capable of gaining a foothold in Ying."

"Of course, we have also thought about losing to a strong enemy like Arsenal. This is not a terrible thing. Arsenal has not fallen like some media said. They are still a favorable contender for the championship."

"We also had chances, but the early conceded goal allowed them to play their own style of play, coupled with the strict requirements of the referee on us, my players could not play their own style, this game can not represent our team. strength."

Colmar is still very dissatisfied with the referee Klattenburg's penalties for physical confrontation in this game.

Although Wenger calmly listened to Coleman's defense of the reporters' questions, he was already full of pride. He wanted to use this referee's big storm to put pressure on the FA and make them strengthen their physical penalties in the game. Wenger is also quite black-bellied.

"Professor, congratulations on your victory, but Li's performance in this game was abnormal. What's the reason?"

"Well, Li's performance was indeed not as good as in the previous three games. I think it may be because of some problems with his physical strength, so the performance of the game was a little unstable. It's nothing."

"Well, but we know that Li's performance was very stable in the first half, and Li seemed to be in better physical condition than the others on the field. Could it be because of some injuries, or he has passed his explosive period and has become a young player."

"Well, you know that Li is only 17 years old. We can't hope that such a big kid will continue to perform at a world-class level. Young people are always experiencing growth. I don't think there is any need to pay too much attention to this issue."

"Do you mean that Li still can't adapt to Ying's high-intensity competition?"

"No, how many times have you seen such outstanding statistics in the first three games—three goals and three assists? This is unimaginable, so your question doesn't make any sense. I have already said that Li just has a physical problem. I knew it before the game, so I replaced him immediately after he scored."

Wenger looked at the reporter of The Sun with a serious face, obviously Wenger could not allow any cold water to be poured on Li Yuxin.

The reporters at the scene looked at Wenger with a solemn face, as if he had been irritated by the reporters of The Sun.

"I think Lee is still a little bit uncomfortable physically after the big game against Chelsea. This is normal. Any player will experience some discomfort after playing that game. I still remember that after that game, I was also excited for two nights. As the coach said, Lee just didn't adjust his physical condition well. Fortunately, we will have a relatively long rest period." Henry also explained his abnormality in the game for Li Yuxin.

The reporters at the scene saw Wenger and Henry's affirmative statement, and knew that they would definitely not talk about this topic again, so they also changed their angles.

"Professor, we know that the World Cup qualifiers will start next month. Do you think it is impossible for Li to be selected for Eriksson's national team?"

"Well, I don't know if Eriksson has paid attention to Li, but I still don't think Li entered the national team so early, because it is not good for young people. You must know that he is only 17 years old." Wenger has never had a good face on the national team.

"What do you think, Thierry?"

"I think it depends on the attitude of Eriksson and Li, but I haven't seen what the two think about this matter, so I have no way to comment, but I am eager to see Li in next year's World Cup. He should appear in the most important game in the world." Henry obviously agrees with Li Yuxin's going to Eriksson's team. He should know that the dream of a player is inseparable from the most sacred trophy.
