The weather was very good, and the weather was very good.
On September 21, the sun was shining and the breeze was blowing. Arsenal embarked on an away trip, and their destination was Doncaster, a team from the English Football League. According to common sense, facing such a relatively weak opponent, Arsenal should be able to deal with it easily, but the outcome of the game surprised many people and made them dissatisfied.
Before the game, the fans were full of expectations for this game. After all, Arsenal, as a traditional powerhouse, has undoubted strength. Although Doncaster is in a low-level league, they are also eager to cause trouble for strong enemies at home. When the players of the two teams stepped into the stadium, the atmosphere on the scene was instantly ignited, and the audience cheered for the host team with enthusiastic shouts.
In the end, when the final whistle sounded, the score was set at an embarrassing 1:2.
This result was undoubtedly difficult for Arsenal fans to accept. They had expected to see a hearty victory, but they did not expect that the team would have such a hard time against an unknown small team.
Is this still the magical Gunners that defeated Liverpool in the previous games?
After the game, social media was full of criticism and doubts about Arsenal's performance, and the head coach and players were under tremendous pressure.
Facing a league team two levels weaker than themselves, they only scored two goals. This is really unacceptable for Arsenal. If this game had a paper score, the fans could only give him 60 points at most, just passing the passing line.
And when facing such a team, they were scored. No one would believe that Arsenal had no problem.
On the 29th, Arsenal once again welcomed their second opponent in the Europa League, BATE Borisov, a team from Belarus. Wenger knew that the strength of this opponent should not be underestimated, so all the players were mentally prepared before the game.
After all, in the European arena, even the second-tier league Europa League cannot be taken lightly, because here, every team may eliminate you, and there are too many uncertainties on the court.
Unsurprisingly, Lei Ming was not selected for the big list again, but this time the difference was that Wenger took him to the away game and let him sit quietly behind the bench to watch the game.
Although Wenger did not explain why he did this, as long as he needed, Lei Ming would naturally obey unconditionally.
After a bad performance in the last game, all Arsenal players were determined to perform well in this game, but to their surprise, BATE Borisov players did not compete with Arsenal players in terms of technology. Various actions made Arsenal players uncomfortable, and they made good use of their height advantage to beat Arsenal in this game.
At the end of the first half, the score was still embarrassing zero to zero.
The whole stadium was filled with an atmosphere that made Arsenal feel depressed. The away game here was more difficult than they imagined.
The poor vegetable field, tough physical fitness, and tough style of play made them feel very unfamiliar, but this is why European games are so good.
Different leagues always have different game effects, which are a feast for the eyes of the audience.
Fortunately, after the start of the second half, when Arsenal's current captain Mertesacker stepped onto the court, the situation finally began to change.
This experienced player successfully broke the deadlock on the field with his outstanding leadership and excellent technical ability, and led the team to gradually find their own rhythm.
In the following game, Arsenal was like a reborn team, showing strong offensive power and close teamwork.
They continued to attack the opponent's goal, creating one threatening opportunity after another. And just when the game entered the last crucial ten minutes, the god of luck seemed to finally stand on the side of Arsenal.
With Ramsey's two surgical passes, Lacazette did not live up to the opponent's expectations. He withstood the pressure at the critical moment and completed the away game twice in one fell swoop.
This made the shooter from Ligue 1 breathe a sigh of relief, and finally lived up to the trust of the team and the professor in himself.
In these thrilling ten minutes, the emotions of the Gunners fans who followed the team to the away game were fully mobilized, and the cheers
, shouts came one after another, but after all, this is a foreign away game. Although their cheers are loud, they still can't compete with the home team on the scene.
Watching the team successfully win the game, Lei Ming also breathed a sigh of relief behind the bench.
This is the last game of his suspension. If nothing unexpected happens, I believe that he will soon step onto the green field again. After all, the professor must have this meaning when he brought me out for this game, familiar with the venue and the opponent's style, and wait for the next time to find the field.
For the Europa League group stage, Wenger asked the players to enter the top 32 as the first. This is the pride they should have as Gunners. Although the tiger is bullied by the dog, no matter what, their dignity as a giant must be maintained.
Although the team won again in this game, in the eyes of the fans, they are still not satisfied with the team's performance.
As the saying goes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. In the first few games of the league, they unexpectedly saw the absolute dominance displayed by the team suddenly disappeared in these games. How could they accept this?
...
"Lei, do you have anything to say about the club's punishment on you?"
"Without the coach, I unconditionally pay the club's requirements."
"That's good, sign it, and you must reflect on yourself after you go back. You must not be so impulsive next time. After all, people are not so lucky every time. We are professional players and should focus on the green field."
"Yes, coach, I understand."
After the head coach issued an order to expel him, Lei Ming also walked out of the other party's office with a list.
With this coach, he has a better bottom line in his heart. I think he has passed this hurdle.
Sure enough, when the team's competition was held the next day, Lei Ming's position had changed. He entered the position of the main goalkeeper again, and Cech also went to the substitute side to continue to sit.
Cech was not dissatisfied with the coach's arrangement. He also knew that he did not perform well in the two games, but he had tried his best.
Perhaps it was time for him to withdraw from the top league.
