Golden Greenery

"Yes, it is indeed a cold, old and outdated stadium that has no place in modern football. Maybe there is some truth in that, but it is also the best stadium in the Premier League." - Arsenal fan

Today, Highbury Stadium is like a can filled with sardines. Arsenal fans fill every corner of the stands. Of course, there are also 4,000 Madiburg fans who came from the expedition.

This is a farewell. Arsenal will bid farewell to this place next season and go to the Emirates Stadium not far away. This is Highbury's last Champions League game. Soon this place will be turned into apartment buildings and shopping plazas.

Highbury is too small. After the Premier League canceled standing seats, the stands that can only accommodate 30,000 people are not worthy of the greatness of Arsenal's classic giants. The small stadium not only fails to bring in the ideal match-day revenue, but also makes Arsenal's tickets the most expensive in the Premier League. Perhaps this is an important reason why their fans are mainly composed of London's white-collar middle class. Poor workers look down upon...

The wealthy Middle Eastern oil robes spent hundreds of millions of dollars and used the 15-year naming rights to build high-rise buildings for Arsenal. The new Emirates Stadium will be a modern professional football stadium that can accommodate 60,000 people, and the game day revenue will also double. Tickets are still the most expensive in the Premier League.

The same cannot be said for Fort Madi. The walls of Victor, which can accommodate 20,000 people, have already reached the river. There is no room for expansion at all. How about starting over and building another one? Old Mullen doesn't have that much money, and the city government won't grant land. A city with a population of one million already has four football stadiums. What else do you want to do?

If you want to build it, you can go to the outer suburbs, build it to the foot of the mountain, and repair the road at the same time. It must be a B-class road at least. This road alone is not less expensive than the stadium. Who is crazy enough to build a football field to the base of the mountain? Are fans so crazy that they would travel so far to watch a game in a place that can’t even fit in a parking space? Therefore, even if there is interest from China's big money, Angus Mullen does not dare to act rashly.

The world is full of Chinese businessmen and thieves. They are not doing it for advertising or anything. The purpose of building the stadium is to control the club's equity in disguise. Chairman Mullen is not stupid.

Besides, for a small club like Fort Madi, Victor's makeshift stadium is enough. What's more, the stadium itself is a beautiful miracle of architecture, which is so intoxicating all year round. .

From the perspective of Zhuo Yang, an art student, he has been to so many famous golf courses across Europe, but except for the grandeur, none of them can match the aesthetics of Victor.

.

This is a farewell. Arsenal gun fans come with a reluctance to leave Highbury, with deep attachment and beautiful longing. They know that they are bidding farewell to ancient Highbury;

This is a farewell,

Zhuoyang played one less game in Madibao. With a little melancholy before leaving and curiosity about the future, he played the last few games for his supporters, but they did not know that the King was about to left.

In short, there seemed to be a trace of sadness in the fanatical atmosphere.

Head coach Arsene Wenger is naturally not sentimental. He has lived most of his life and has never experienced any romance. It is not suitable for his age to behave like a child. It's not that Wenger has no feelings for Highbury. He has been coaching here for ten years and is now a member of the board of directors of Arsenal Club. He actively supports the construction of a new stadium. For the new stadium, Professor Wen has worked very hard in recent years and used shabby funds to maintain the dignity of the wealthy club.

Before this high-profile game, media from various countries were hyping Zhuoyang's "hat-trick curse", but Wenger was not worried at all. When it comes to the most stable head coach in world football, he is either first or second, and the same is true for his old enemy Ferguson. These two old men are the type who can drive away the club president but remain firm.

Therefore, Professor Wenger is not afraid of Zhuo Yang scoring three goals at all. Even if Zhuo Yang scores two hat tricks, his position as coach will remain intact. The professor had a sleepless night at home last night, thinking that it would be quite interesting if he became the terminator of the 'Zhuoyang Curse'. Thinking of this, Wenger couldn't help but laugh: How can I expect Zhuoyang to score three goals at Highbury?

It would be difficult for anyone or any team to score three Arsenal goals in one game.

At that time, England's football style changed greatly. In a sense, it was Wenger's Arsenal who led this European trend. The professor successfully integrated the European Latin style control theory with England's traditional rapid offensive and defensive transitions, perfectly forming Developed a unique warm Latin style of play.

Instead of blindly kicking the ball out of the backcourt, he took the trouble to shift the ball in his own half, abandoning the 45-degree diagonal long pass and slinging the ball into the penalty area, and making more use of the speed of the winger and center to penetrate the opponent's ribs. .

If you imagine this scene, you will feel that Arsenal's playing style is quite enjoyable, but their game scenes are not very good-looking and always look dull.

Yes, there is a deep heart of defensive counterattack hidden under the outer appearance of gorgeous technical skills.

Arsenal has the defense with the fewest goals conceded in the entire Premier League, and it also occupies the first place in the ball possession rankings. They have not conceded a goal in the previous eight consecutive Champions League games, but defensive counterattacks are defensive counterattacks. Most of their possessions are in the backcourt. It was brushed backwards. But no matter what, there is no best tactic, only the most effective tactic. Madibao will not be able to defeat Arsenal today.

It is necessary to not only resist the overwhelming physical impact of the frontcourt of Premier League teams, but also ensure that the midfield and backfield players have excellent passing and cutting skills. After all, perfect players are rare, and you cannot have it both ways. Therefore, Arsenal Defensive players have some problems with excessive defensive actions, and the rate of red and yellow cards ranks among the highest in Europe.

In the first three minutes, Zhuoyang broke through from the right and was tackled by Flamini. Even if the French midfielder quickly pulled his friend Zhuoyang up from the ground, he could not escape the Austrian referee Plauz who showed him the first yellow card.

Zhuoyang and Flamini met for the first time at the UEFA Cup final the year before last, and later became friends at Scar Ribery's wedding. Although they have little contact on weekdays, they both have a good impression of each other.

Speaking of friends, Arsenal really has an old friend who is close to Zhuoyang - Robin Van Persie.

Two years ago, Van Persie left Feyenoord and came to Wenger. In the past two seasons, although he was not as prosperous as Franck Ribery, who arrived in the Premier League at the same time, he also became the main regular rotation member of Arsenal. Van Persie occupies a slight advantage in the competition with Ljungberg and Reyes. Ljungberg's shooting is not as good as him, Reyes is a bit soft, and the constant flirting with Real Madrid makes Wenger upset.

In fact, in the professor's mind, Van Persie's most suitable position and the most prosperous position in the team is captain Henry's center. Arsenal has a glorious tradition of selling captains, and Robin van Persie is Henry's best successor. ()
