There is a dream called football

On November 1st, they faced CSKA again at home. The two sides drew 0-0 at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal also lost two games and now has 8 points. Although it is still first, Porto has caught up.

The situation in this group is very complicated. In addition to Hamburg, which has already been eliminated, the remaining Porto, CSKA, and Arsenal may all qualify.

Arsenal played Porto in the last round, which was also considered a life-and-death battle for Arsenal in the group stage. It is very likely that whoever wins the game will be the final winner. For Arsenal, the disadvantage is that they will play in the last round.

It's an away game.

Back in the league, Arsenal was eager for a victory, but the team encountered the clingy Toffees Everton.

After a 90-minute battle, the two sides shook hands and settled for a draw at 1-1. Arsenal did not get the victory they hoped for.

In the next game against London rivals West Ham United, Arsenal was defeated at the last moment. The difficulties Arsenal encountered at the beginning of the season seemed to reappear again.

"It's been a disappointing season for the hotshot players."

"fail."

"Arsenal is no longer a top team in the Premier League."

"Wenger should be sacked."

Words like this are rampant, but Wenger is not surprised by this. He knows very well that the team is changing from old to new, which is a difficulty that any football team will encounter.

Football is different from other sports. What you need is 11 strong players, and the possibility of gathering 11 excellent players at the same time is not that great. This causes the replacement of football teams to be slower.

This is especially obvious at the national team level. Think about it, many national teams need a 20-year cycle to gather a generation of strong players. This is still a top team, while many second-rate teams can even enter the World Cup for decades.

However, Wenger also knows that for a team of Arsenal's level, the outside world must have different requirements for him. It is said that with greater ability comes greater responsibility, so there is nothing to say about this.

"Hi, Li Qiao, can I go to your house for dinner today? I miss Chinese food." Van Persie smiled.

"Haha, I'm Chinese, but I don't necessarily eat Chinese food because my family's cooks are Portuguese."

"It's okay. Portuguese ones are fine too. I hate takeaways."

"hehe."

While chatting, Li Qiao saw the lonely Djuru on the sidelines. Since the game against CSKA, Djuru had been sitting on the bench. Wenger put Gallas in the center back position, and the left back was France.

Chrissy.

Li Qiao knew that Djurou's fate would later be to leave Arsenal, similar to Senderos, but he still felt that this was too cruel.

"John, you seem unhappy."

Zhu Lu looked up and saw that it was Li Qiao, and forced a smile, "I'm not unhappy, I'm just thinking. By the way, you can help me."

"Willing to serve."

"Do you have any opinions about my defense? You can say anything, as long as it's something I really didn't do well."

Li Qiao nodded.

"Then what I say may be harsh."

Djurou smiled and said: "I think I'm ready to leave Arsenal. There's nothing I can't accept."

Li Qiao also laughed.

"First of all, your movements were too slow. Modern football requires defenders to be decisive. To be honest, you were responsible for the goal conceded in Moscow."

Zhu Lu felt like a needle pricked his heart, it hurt!

But as he said just now, Zhu Lu could only nod his head, "Go on, make me feel more pain."

"Second, your mental quality is too poor."

"How to say?"

Li Qiao chuckled, "Why did I come to you? It's because I saw you were unhappy from a long distance away. As for why you are unhappy, I can guess it."

"Since I know, then other people also know, and Tou also knows. Do you want everyone to know that you are very sad, sad, and dissatisfied with Tou's decision?"

"I don't."

"I really don't."

"But that's what you do. As a central defender, your mental quality is not enough."

I have to say that the second point hurts Zhu Lu more than the first point, but I also have to say that he admitted that Li Qiao was right. You made your own mistake. Who are you trying to show your face to?

Zhu Lu stood up silently, "I understand."

"Wait a minute."

"What?"

Li Qiao said seriously: "If you really can't adapt to Arsenal, you might as well leave as soon as possible."

"Or rent it out. I think what a central defender needs is experience, and Arsenal can't give you time."

Zhu Lu suddenly smiled, "Thank you, your words make me sad, but you told the truth."

Li Qiao also smiled silently.

*****

The league has reached the 11th round, and Arsenal are temporarily ranked fourth. Do you feel that your results are good?

Actually no, it's just that the opponents made too many mistakes and everyone was similar. Arsenal ranked fourth with 21 points.

Fulham, who is ranked ninth, has 17 points, which is one goal behind. So as long as Arsenal loses one game and draws one, they may fall to ninth place.

Therefore, Arsenal has been extremely careless about the league, and in the next round, they will challenge the powerful Liverpool away away from home.

After leaving Liverpool for two seasons, the Red Army has basically remained stable. Except for the forward line being replaced by Kuyt and Crouch, everything else is basically stable. This is also the reason why Liverpool's results have remained stable in recent years.

Challenging Liverpool away from home, Wenger's requirement for the team is a victory.

"I know that when we play Liverpool away from home and I demand a win, many of you may think I'm crazy."

"Yes, I am crazy. I am driven crazy by the standings. If you look at how closely the teams behind the standings are chasing you, you will know why I want to win, because I don't want to fall out of the top ten.

"

"For this game to go to Liverpool, our whole team set off, including those who were suspended, except for Henry."

Henry's calf has been uncomfortable, and now Wenger has decided to let him rest for half a month. The main reason is that Van Persie has been in good form recently, and Wenger feels a little confident.

And Wenger also knew that Henry had always wanted to leave, so he had to prepare in advance.

Henry readily accepted this arrangement. The league was still very long and there was no need to worry about temporary gains and losses.

But at this juncture, "The Sun" reported a piece of blockbuster news, that is, the news that Henry will join Barcelona after this season.

As soon as this news came out, it could be said that it caused a huge stir. At this time, the entire Arsenal team was already in Liverpool, and Wenger suddenly found that one of his unintentional actions had become evidence in the media.
