amazing coach

Update time:2013-03-28

On the afternoon of the 4th, the weather in London was still hazy. Yesterday's weather forecast said the temperature would be around 1 degree, with light rain, and the breeze mixed with mist blowing on my face. The wind felt a little wet.

The Arsenal club bus departed from Colney training base, carrying the team's coaching staff and first-team stars to London!

Colney Training Base Arsenal's latest training base. Completed in 1999, it was built at the suggestion of Arsene Wenger. It stands in the lush Hertfordshire, only a 45-minute drive from the Emirates Stadium.

Behind the Arsenal bus was a huge convoy. Arsenal fans either drove private cars or organized chartered buses, closely following the club bus to form a mighty cheering army on the road.

Drag up a long queue!

Tonight, the Gunners will welcome the craziest team in Europe: Inter Milan at their home stadium of Highbury. This is the first game in the history of the two giant teams!

Although it is only a Champions League group match, according to statistics from The Times the day before, nearly 30,000 Arsenal fans from out of town expressed their intention to go to London to cheer for the team! However, there were only 30,000 at Highbury Stadium.

There are 8,000 seats. If you add the die-hard fans of Inter Milan, there will be more than 60,000 foreign fans in London, which will definitely have a great impact on the security of London.

However, the security issue is not something that Professor Wenger has to consider. They just lost to Deportivo La Coruna in the last Champions League group match. Now Arsenal can't lose anymore. Gunners fans are waiting for the invincible Gunners to bring them a game.

An exciting victory!

Victory, this is what Professor Wenger needs to consider most.

Even on the bus, Professor Wenger did not want to waste time. He still analyzed Inter Milan's tactics and player characteristics through Inter Milan's game videos. Wenger has said this many times, but a professor is a professor.

He is tireless in teaching his disciples!

Professor Wenger stood in front of the screen hanging at the front of the bus with a serious face, and explained in detail as the video footage paused and digital analysis was performed.

"Inter Milan coach Jiang Mu is this Chinese. He is the soul of Inter Milan. His tactics are flexible and he rarely sticks to formations. But judging from the last 20 games, he prefers to play in 433 and 4312.

Switching between formations. He also has a special interest in fast wingers and defensive midfielders. The defensive midfielder Pirlo was originally an attacking midfielder, but under Jiang Mu, he became a defensive midfielder. He is the organizer of Inter Milan.

, we must not let him easily get the ball, forwards, midfielders, and even all players close to Pirlo must harass him tirelessly..."

Professor Wenger has a very good memory. He can easily analyze the players based on the information about Inter Milan players in his mind without having to recall.

"... Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Vieri, these are the most threatening players in Inter Milan's frontcourt. This season, they have received stable opportunities to play, and their goals accounted for three points of the team's total.

More than two, in this game, they are still the focus of the defense..."

In the bus, the Arsenal players listened very carefully. They respected and loved Professor Wenger very much, and even worshiped him a little. Wenger would not only explain tactics to them, but also preach the scriptures, and the players would listen.

With relish.

"We must also pay attention to an inconspicuous player. As a defensive midfielder, he is quite a leader on the court and has very comprehensive abilities. He is a truly modern midfielder. He has firmly established himself in Inter Milan and the Italian national team.

He is Pirlo's protector and Inter Milan's main defensive player in the midfielder position. I believe everyone knows who I am talking about... yes... it is Di Bianho...

For half an hour, Professor Wenger was explaining carefully, and the players and coaching staff listened carefully.

Professor Wenger did not take any information, but he used his brain to describe the opponent's situation in such detail, which shows how much effort he put into this game. As a Frenchman, Wenger is by no means successful in the Premier League.

Accidental.

After analyzing Inter Milan's lineup and the technical movements of the main players based on the TV footage, Professor Wenger asked the players to take a rest and wait until Highbury Stadium for them to conduct a simple training.

Fifty minutes later, the bus finally entered downtown London, where more Gunners fans were waiting. Together with the fans who had been following from Colney training base, they crowded the bus towards Highbury Stadium.

Surrounded by fans, the bus moved very slowly, but Wenger didn't mind. It was still a long time, and communicating with the fans would be of great help to the team's morale and confidence, so Professor Wenger closed his eyes on the bus.

I fell asleep and continued to think about my tactical plan to see if there were any loopholes. Playing with Jiang Mu, an extremely cunning Chinese, it would be very dangerous not to be foolproof. This is a loophole that is good at catching the opponent, but he is also good at it.

The little fox hiding his weakness.

Two hours before the start of the game, the dark clouds hanging over London finally turned into light rain, and it began to rain!

Light rain washes the turf of Highbury Stadium. Looking down from the stadium stands, the green stadium looks like a piece of verdant emerald.

The field became slippery, and Arsenal's players who were training slipped on the field from time to time and lost their center of gravity. They had to come off the field and put on spiked sneakers to better control their body's center of gravity.

There were already fans in the stands. Gunners fans and Inter Milan fans were clearly visible on both sides of the stands. They were the first fans to come in. Many of them did not bring rain gear. Under the light rain, many people's clothes also changed.

It was getting wetter and wetter, and they had to go to the golf course merchandise store to buy umbrellas and raincoats.

The sky above Highbury Stadium echoed with Arsenal's team anthem: "Good Old Aenal". This famous team song has been floating in the sky above Highbury Stadium for decades. Every time there is an Arsenal home game, Arsenal's

Fans will stand up in the stands and sing in unison until the game officially starts!

Soon, Inter Milan's players arrived. After they took the field, Arsenal's players kindly gave up the field and left the field to rest in the locker room, allowing the Inter Milan players to do warm-up training.

Arsenal's friendliness won the applause of Inter Milan fans who had been silent in the stands. Although they were opponents, Professor Wenger still followed the principle of courtesy first and then attack, unlike some coaches who would use any means to win.

Inter Milan's training was just a warm-up, playing a game of hoops, passing the ball, shooting, moving around, and getting used to the slippery field. The warm-up didn't take long. After 20 minutes, the Inter Milan players returned to the locker room.

Rest and do the final preparations before the game.

Highbury Stadium is not big and can accommodate more than 38,000 people at most. This size is a bit shabby for a wealthy club, but the home atmosphere created by the crazy Gunners fans is not even weaker than Anfield, the devil's home stadium of Liverpool!

An hour in advance, the stands at Highbury Stadium were already full of fans, but there were still more fans flowing into bars of various sizes in North London, drinking warm beer and waiting for the game to start! There were also some who were financially disadvantaged.

Fans who are well-off or like excitement hold umbrellas and wait in front of the outdoor electronic screen outside Highbury Stadium. They hope to hear the team's victory for the first time and cheer and embrace with thousands of fans.

For the fans of both sides, whether it is in the stands of Highbury, a bar in London, or an outdoor electronic screen, this is a battlefield. Here they will have the most direct and tit-for-tat confrontation with their opponent's fans.

fighting!

In the home team's dressing room at Highbury Stadium, Professor Wenger was doing the final mobilization.

"For us, there is only one way to go in this game. That is to win. We have already lost a battle in Spain. If we lose again this time, we will lose all the initiative and want to win.

If it is in our own hands, we must fight.

The opponent is a powerful team, they are very bloodthirsty, but we don’t have to be afraid of them, this is Highbury Stadium, this is our home, you are not fighting here alone, there are countless fans here, and you

together.

I have done what I have to do, and now it depends on your performance. I believe in you, you will not let me, the club, or countless Arsenal fans down in this game..."

Wenger rarely spoke so seriously, even in more important games than this, Wenger was not so serious, but Wenger's words still had an effect, and every Arsenal player clenched their fists.

, decided to fight for qualifying, for honor, and for the head coach that he respects and loves.

In the visiting team's locker room opposite, Jiang Mu was not as solemn as Wenger. He had been playing music for the players to rest in the music for a while. When the game was about to start, Jiang Mu began to make the final mobilization.

:

This is our first game against Arsenal, and this is our second game in the Champions League group stage. In this game, we can lose or draw, because this is not a life and death battle, even if you are not as hard-working as your opponent.

I think it is normal, but you must remember that off the football field there are only results and utility, but on the football field there is honor and dignity. We are not here to lose, not to draw, and not to watch.

The opponent celebrates and the opponent's fans cheer, otherwise we wouldn't be here. We are absent from the game, which is just a 0:3 penalty. We are here for victory. There is a head coach in this land who said well, football is not

Life and death, but football is higher than life and death. Only if you have this consciousness and determination can we win all honors and we deserve all honors."

Jiang Mu's words were simple and clear, but the effect was obviously better than that of Wenger. Wenger was too elegant, and every word of Jiang Mu pointed directly at the players' hearts. Inter Milan's players may not be ready to let go and fight with their opponents at first.

Bo, but now, they all feel that this is a game that cannot be lost, and they must earn respect here.
