I Just Can Score

That romantic French woman... with a graceful figure, a nice face, and more importantly, youth...

"Ahem!"

Wenger recalled the 30,000 euros after the incident, and his heart was filled with depression. But thinking about it carefully, he did not suffer much loss. 30,000 euros was nothing to him, it was just one or two taels of income. He is no longer just a head coach. He also owns shares in Arsenal and is considered a small shareholder.

Money, what is it?

If he can still experience a good day, he is willing to take the initiative to shell out 30,000 euros.

but……

What does this have to do with Zhen Shaolong?

Wenger didn't know why he thought of this. He felt that Zhen Shaolong didn't do it on purpose, and he probably just had 'no way.' The place where they met was on the sidelines, and there were a large number of Newcastle fans not far away.

Under the eyes of the home team fans, it doesn't feel good no matter how you watch the interaction between the home team players and the opponent's coach.

so……

"Zhen Shaolong can't say anything to himself. His eye contact will be captured by the camera... Yes! That's it!"

"Because it's St James' Park, what's the point of interacting with the opposing manager? I admire him, he knows it; he admires me, I know it."

"This is enough!"

Wenger was thinking about Zhen Shaolong's problem along the way, which was actually a way to divert his thinking. He really didn't want to think about the team's problem.

It was 3-0 in the first half!

Zhen Shaolong's excellent performance is the main reason, and it cannot cover up Arsenal's own problems.

After returning to the dressing room, Wenger paced back and forth with his head down.

He is not like Manchester United coach Ferguson, who loses his temper after the team performs poorly. He has always been gentle to the players and likes to communicate with them normally and tell them what went wrong.

There are pros and cons to this approach.

The good thing is that candid communication will make the players respect him more, and it also reflects his unique personal charm; the bad thing is that he can't vent his emotions. He obviously wants to yell at the players, so he can only suppress his depressed emotions. Continue to hold it in.

"well……"

Wenger finally sighed and glanced at Van Persie secretly.

Arsenal's offense has been unable to achieve results. The biggest reason is center Robin van Persie. Van Persie is a talented forward who has made obvious progress in the past two years. For example, Van Persie performed well in the Champions League. He has played in eight games. Four goals were scored.

The league is slightly worse, but it's not unbearably bad. It's just that compared to the top forwards, the scoring data is a bit less.

This is not a problem.

The outside media and fans can only use data to see a player's performance. Some forwards have played more times and scored fewer goals, and their performance seems to be poor. The head coach's perspective is not like this, and he will look at a player's overall contribution. , for example, most of the tactical forwards are heavily targeted by the opponent, and naturally score fewer goals, but they play a role in attracting defenses and creating space for teammates, and their performance will not be affected by goal data.

"such a pity!"

"Van Persie is not that kind of player..."

Wenger tried to beautify Van Persie's performance, but Van Persie is not a tactical striker. On the contrary, he is the kind of striker who wants to score goals.

This season, Van Persie has been promoted as the number one forward, but his performance has been relatively poor, mainly because a single arrow cannot carry the weight. Wenger has been working hard to change the formation to 433, and Van Persie is not effective at the front.

The current game is proof of that.

Van Persie can't handle it alone, and he performs much better as an auxiliary forward.

Wenger looked at Adebayor again.

"well……"

Sigh again.

Adebayor is younger than Van Persie, but he has already shown dominance at the front line. His performance last season was amazing.

What the outside world can see, Wenger can also see naturally. Adebayor performs better than Van Persie, has more mental problems, and is technically worse than Van Persie.

But black players are stronger and will have impact when they reach the front.

Adebayor is a genius who is no weaker than Van Persie. Now comparing the performance of the two, Adebayor is temporarily better.

But……

Adebayor will never be satisfied!

Wenger saw through him.

Before the end of last season, Adebayor publicly stated that he might leave the team because "Arsenal has not won any important trophies since the 2003-04 season."

In the summer transfer market, Adebayor was rumored to be moving to AC Milan or Barcelona, ​​but Wenger knew very well that Adebayor was dissatisfied with his salary. He has become Arsenal's leading shooter and has high salary requirements. Naturally it got higher.

Then.

Arsenal offered a contract with a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds, and Adebayor chose to stay at Arsenal without hesitation.

Even with a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds, Adebayor is still dissatisfied with the salary. Perhaps it is because shooters of the same level receive higher salaries in other teams? His agent continues to demand that Adebayor's weekly salary should be increased to more than 100,000 pounds.

This thing has been going on.

In October last year, there was news that Adebayor regretted renewing his contract with Arsenal and hoped to transfer to Manchester City. His name was once again linked to Barcelona and AC Milan. Wenger knew the news. is accurate.

Adebayor wants to leave.

The only way to retain this genius is to raise salary, but Arsenal's maximum salary is only 100,000 pounds. The club has recently intended to increase the maximum salary standard, and it is impossible to increase it too much at once. Wenger will also consider another option. One question, "If Adebayo performs better, will he demand a higher salary?"

Definitely.

Wenger has already given up on Adebayor. Arsenal will definitely not be able to provide a player who can never be satisfied. He suddenly thought of Zhen Shaolong. With Zhen Shaolong's reputation and performance, coming to Arsenal will definitely break the salary balance. The salary required at that time must be terrible.

"One hundred and fifty thousand pounds?"

Wenger thinks this price is still acceptable, but it will definitely be a 'pre-tax' weekly salary. Other players can't say anything or have any dissatisfaction, because Zhen Shaolong's performance is worth 200,000 per week before tax. The salary is already considered a relatively small salary. He has scored several times more goals than others, so there is nothing to discuss at all.

This may be the balance between salary, strength and performance.

Adebayor is also pursuing a salary that is worthy of his performance. There is nothing to criticize in itself, but his evaluation of himself is a bit too high.

He is not indispensable.

Wenger thought for a while and finally shook his head. Adebayor must be sent to the game in front of him. Van Persie couldn't afford to take the lead, so he let Adebayor come on and give it a try. No matter how high Adebayor's requirements were, he might even have Thoughts of leaving, but at least for now he is still an Arsenal player and he has an obligation to contribute to Arsenal's games.

the other side.

The Newcastle United dressing room was much more relaxed. With a three-goal lead at halftime, winning without incident was not a problem.

The players were relaxed, talking and laughing with each other.

Button attributed the three-goal lead entirely to Zhen Shaolong, "Did you see it? The boss confused Arsenal! They were affected and their performance was poor!"

"They think the boss will let loose! Hahaha... how is that possible..."

"They just relied on their boss to let loose to win. As a result, they scored three goals and their frontcourt was affected!"

Everyone else nodded.

Regardless of the situation before the game, Zhen Shaolong scored three goals and his performance was indeed great. However, no player would be jealous. They had already passed the "age of jealousy" and could not be jealous of Zhen Shaolong. Otherwise, they would not be jealous of Zhen Shaolong. They'll all be pissed off.

Head coach Keegan was also in a good mood, but he was more worried about Zhen Shaolong's health. In the first half, Zhen Shaolong ran too much and seemed to be running non-stop. Let alone a player with average physical fitness, even a player with very good physical fitness. Yes, it seems difficult to hold on.

"How are you? Do you want to go down and rest?" Keegan asked with concern.

"I'm OK."

Zhen Shaolong said with great certainty that there was indeed nothing wrong with his mental state.

Keegan was confused.

impossible!

How could it be okay?

Running so hard and continuously consuming a lot of physical energy will definitely make you feel tired. Keegan thought about it carefully and attributed the reason to 'high morale'. When a player has high morale, it can indeed inspire a positive spirit of competition. , you won’t feel tired even if you run continuously, but you may feel very tired once the excitement wears off.

He was still worried and admired Zhen Shaolong's fighting spirit, "He is such an excellent player! Even if he is tired, he can do this in order to win the game... The outside world says that he single-handedly led Newcastle to good results. The results are indeed the case!”

“It’s not just about scoring goals, it’s also about fighting spirit!”

"Others will also be infected and become more diligent in the competition..."

Keegan looked at Smith as he thought about it. He thought he should put Smith's captain's armband on Zhen Shaolong's arm. Zhen Shaolong usually did nothing and only made instructions related to his own performance on the field, but he was The most suitable person to be a captain is that even if he does nothing during the game, just standing in the front will make others full of fighting spirit.

————

With the expectations of many fans, the second half of the game started quickly.

Arsenal started the offensive mode as soon as they came up. They continued to attack Newcastle United. The offensive seemed to have no end, making Newcastle United appear extremely passive and could only sit back and defend in the half.

period.

Many people noticed Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong performed almost nothing, but he still attracted attention because he moved significantly less.

In the first half, Zhen Shaolong also participated in the defense, constantly using the method of chasing the ball to cause trouble for Arsenal's offense.

That seems useless, but it is actually very useful.

Many people think that chasing the ball in the professional arena seems to be a very brainless approach, which is basically useless. But in fact, it is mainly because the physical exertion of professional games is too great, and the players themselves have to do their jobs well and can sustain it. It's not easy. If you use the stupidest method of pursuing running, your physical energy will be consumed quickly, which is really not worth the gain.

For the offensive side, if the opponent has a player chasing the ball for a long time, it will feel as if everyone will be defended by a player of the opponent. Even if they are just standing aside and not participating in direct steals, they will block part of the ball and catch the ball. Space.

Now Zhen Shaolong moves less and spends most of his time in the frontcourt. The positive contrast with the first half is obvious.

Wenger didn't even think about it, "That's true!"

"He consumed so much physical energy in the first half that he couldn't run anymore." But Wenger couldn't laugh at all, because Zhen Shaolong had already scored three goals, and it didn't matter even if he ended up playing now. Arsenal couldn't catch it back. easy.

Kevin Keegan also noticed Zhen Shaolong and couldn't help but think, "Depending on the situation, I'd better replace him!"

"If it affects your physical condition, it will be troublesome if it affects subsequent games."

If Newcastle United wants to compete for the league championship and participate in the most critical event of the Champions League, it will definitely require Zhen Shaolong's performance. Zhen Shaolong's physical condition is very important. It is best for him to maintain his condition at all times. The further behind he is, the more critical it becomes.

On the contrary, a league match with Arsenal was nothing at all.

This is the gap in expectations.

Zhen Shaolong's performance in the first half can be described as crazy. He scored three goals, which is second best. His continuous running contribution to offense and defense, as well as the visual experience he brought to people, are very high. He is recognized He is the most active, fighting spirit and best-performing player on the field. All praises can be given to him. Now standing in the frontcourt silently waiting for opportunities will make people think that he may have a physical problem.

In fact, Zhen Shaolong behaved normally.

In previous games, he has done this. When the opponent attacks, he stays in front and waits. There is no point in wasting energy behind.

His physical energy is basically not consumed at all, but no matter how much physical energy he has, sprinting for a few waves, it will not be easy to sprint again. Physical energy is not a blood bar in the game, and it cannot be consumed casually. Continuous strenuous exercise will cause problems with explosive power. It is time to sprint. It would be really bad if he couldn't rush forward when he was playing. He had to maintain his physical condition until he found the next good opportunity.

Arsenal's performance on the field improved.

Adebayor is indeed an excellent forward. He is still dominant in the front and has a high impact on the penalty area when he finds opportunities. He can cooperate with his teammates and can also use his personal ability to attack and defend Newcastle United in front of the goal. Causes a lot of trouble.

Taking advantage of the continuous offensive, Adebayor also found good opportunities.

In the 63rd minute of the game, midfielder Cesc Fabregas passed a good ball. A slightly higher pass passed the defense. Adebayor stopped the ball with his back to the goal and followed up with a volley in mid-air. Barb broke through the gate guarded by Given.

1 to 3!

"Beautiful! Adebayor!"

"The volley overhead! It's so exciting! Adebayor, he came on as a substitute at half-time and scored a goal for Arsenal!"

"He's very efficient!"

"Recently, Wenger prefers Van Persie to play center forward, but Adebayor's performance is not bad. This is his ninth goal in the league!"

Arsenal recovered a goal.

Adebayor's goal gave Arsenal hope again. They did not do any goal celebrations. After returning the ball to the center circle, they urged the referee to restart the kick.

After the game restarted, many people were still immersed in the goal just now. Adebayor's goal was indeed very exciting.

Wenger looked at Adebayor with a complicated expression on his face.

Adebayo is indeed excellent.

Fans gave him the nickname "Little Monster", and you can know Adebayor's style. He is a real genius in front of goal. Unfortunately, the selection of players not only has on-field factors, but off-field factors are also very important. Adebayor Bayo's salary requirements are too high, and the club's salary system simply cannot meet them.

Wenger could only shake his head regretfully. He couldn't help but think, "What if it were Zhen Shaolong instead?"

"Zhen Shaolong performed extremely well. He was dissatisfied with his weekly salary of 150,000 pounds and frequently used transfers to threaten the club with salary increases..."

"When the time comes...will you consider selling him?"

Wenger's eyes widened when he thought of this possibility.

He had been thinking about the possibility of Zhen Shaolong transferring to join before, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Arsenal could not keep Zhen Shaolong at all. The salary of 150,000 pounds was already very little for Zhen Shaolong.

Even if one day Zhen Shaolong joins Arsenal, facing extremely high salary costs and the impact on the entire salary system, he will consider selling Zhen Shaolong instead of keeping him with a high salary.

Therefore, the Arsenal he coaches will never have Zhen Shaolong. 8)
