There is a dream called football

Arsenal's Christmas schedule can be said to be a mess, and some media even said that Wenger has given up on the league.

But Wenger himself would never admit it.

"Abandon the league? If you give me a healthy team, I can win the championship, but look at how many people are left in Arsenal now."

Arsenal are indeed short of people at this time. Reyes has been ill for a long time, Henry has returned, and Bergkamp is still suffering from minor injuries, so Wenger is indeed short of people, and he did not buy anyone during the winter break. Maybe it is

Because the boss is unwilling to pay.

"So when will Bergkamp be better?"

Wenger has the answer in his heart, that is, no matter what, he will stay and play Real Madrid, the first opponent in the knockout round.

But it's impossible for Wenger to say this, otherwise it would really be like giving up on the league.

Wenger shrugged, "Of course I hope he will be fine tomorrow, but this is unrealistic. I think it will take some time."

Arsenal is now third in the league, and the terrible thing is that it is a bit far away from Manchester United and Chelsea. Wenger also wants to just compete in the Champions League. After all, Arsenal is currently fighting on two fronts, and it is unlikely to win the double championship.

In fact, winning the double crown requires luck, and at least the personnel must be very neat. Otherwise, it may be better to consider a single line.

Wenger also reached a tacit understanding with the players during Christmas and strived to maintain the results in the Champions League, so everyone at Arsenal now knows it.

Arsenal's opponent in the quarter-finals was Real Madrid. At this time, Real Madrid changed their coach again, and it was brought by Lopez Caro from the youth team. This was a turbulent era for Real Madrid.

The club is in turmoil, but the team is still strong. Look at the forward line, Robinho, Ronaldo, Babutista, Cassano, Raul, and the midfielders like Zidane and Beckham.

level players.

Real Madrid is also the biggest favorite to win the Champions League this year. Some people even say that if Arsenal can surpass Real Madrid, they will be very close to winning the championship.

Of course Wenger was very afraid of Real Madrid and cursed his mother when the draw result came out, but there was no way, the Champions League knockout matches would definitely be tough battles, needless to say, all I had to do was prepare well.

****

Bernabeu and Wenger came here to test Real Madrid's form. In the league, Real Madrid's form was average, but because there were too many stars, they could still win the game.

For Zidane, Wenger's idea is to focus on marking him and use Gilbert as a chess piece to defend strongly in the midfield. Otherwise, if Zidane passes the ball, it will be very bad.

As for the Brazilian cyclist Robinho, to be honest, Wenger doesn't think highly of him. He thinks he is just an embroidered pillow and a useless person, so it doesn't matter.

Ronaldo is something Wenger is very afraid of. Although he is a man of glass, a healthy Ronaldo can crush everything. In the early days of Wenger's coaching of Arsenal, that was when Ronaldo was all-powerful. During the World Cup in France

In this game, Ronaldo has reached a god-level performance, and Wenger is aware of this.

However, he is not going to assign a special person to mark Ronaldo, but will use regional defense and the strength of the team to defend Ronaldo.

Wenger felt the atmosphere at the Bernabeu because the team's first game was away and it was not easy to play here. Unlike Highbury, the Bernabeu is a world-class stadium with a large scale and three-tier stands, and the atmosphere of the fans is very good.

In short, it is not easy to score points or score a goal here.

At this moment, a Spanish reporter had already set his sights on Wenger. It was a female reporter, and she came over.

"Hello, Arthur."

Wenger is familiar with this kind of thing and has encountered it too many times. It's nothing to make a fuss about, just deal with it.

"Hello."

"I'm a reporter from Madrid Daily News."

"I am the manager of Arsenal, Arsene Wenger."

"Haha, you are quite humorous."

"Can I ask you a few questions? I promise to show you the manuscript first and I won't talk nonsense."

Wenger shrugged, even if you don't know how to talk nonsense, I won't be able to reveal anything to you, so just ask.

"sure."

"What do you think of Real Madrid's current coach, Lopez Caro?"

sweat.

I didn't expect the first question to be such a question.

Wenger laughed and said: "I actually don't know him."

"Real Madrid has been changing coaches in the past few years just like a joke. This makes Madrid fans very worried. We want to know how you stayed in the same team for 10 years."

"Hahaha."

I remember when Wenger finally left Arsenal, many people said that he was an unprecedented head coach, because in modern football, which is becoming more and more utilitarian, changing head coaches is very frequent and rarely happens.

Wenger is like this, a person who has been in a club for 10 years.

"Respect, mutual understanding, I think this is the foundation of my long time at Arsenal."

"If it were you, would you consider coming to Real Madrid to coach?"

Wenger smiled and shook his head, "I think it's impossible. I won't choose Real Madrid because I am very slow to get started. Maybe I will be fired before I can produce results."

This is also a tactful criticism of Real Madrid boss Florentino.

In fact, in Madrid, people have completely different views on Florentino. People who love him regard him as a god, but people who don't like him regard him as a devil.

"What kind of head coach do you think is suitable for Real Madrid?"

"I think Mourinho is more suitable."

There are also rumors outside that Jose Mourinho is likely to join Real Madrid in the future.

In fact, it's easy to figure it out after thinking about it. Even a head coach of Capello's level is arguing. For Real Madrid, except Mourinho and Ferguson, no one is worthy of the Galacticos.

It's just that it's impossible for Ferguson. His whole life will only belong to Manchester United and it is impossible for him to coach other teams.

"Haha. Do you want Jose to leave the Premier League? I know your relationship with him is not very good."

"Haha, Jose and I are actually fine. It's just a relationship on the playing field. It has nothing to do with private life. Anyway, we don't interact in private."

The reporter nodded, "So, what do you think of the upcoming Champions League knockout rounds?"

Finally came the most critical question, and Wenger's answer was also very domineering, "This is a knockout round, a two-round problem-solving game. I think we have no choice, either win or be eliminated, that's all.

So, although Real Madrid is very strong, we will score a goal at the Bernabeu in the middle of next week."

Wenger's final domineering attitude shocked the reporter a bit. In his impression, Wenger has always been a kind old man.
