The first day of the outbreak at the beginning of the month, the sixth watch.

------

The Highbury sky was overcast after Vieira's departure.

When the cornerstone of a team for the past nine years leaves in a way that outsiders don't understand or even describe as a rupture, the team will of course enter a state of confusion, confusion, pain, and doubt.

What the hell is Arsenal doing?

Following Vieira's transfer and departure, transfer rumors between Henry and Barcelona are also rampant, and Qin Xiong and Real Madrid have even been rumored to be "privately determined for life".

Wenger decisively clarified everything to the media. He said that no Arsenal player would leave again.

At the same time, he said that Arsenal's lineup is strong enough.

It seems that as soon as Vieira left, Wenger began to support his successor.

This successor is Cesc Fabregas.

"Cesc Fabregas has improved significantly in the past two years. He has an ambition to become the best player on the planet. Whether it is in the Premier League in the past season or in the World Youth Championship that just ended, his strength has been fully demonstrated. At the competitive level, when Cesc Fabregas and Vieira cooperate together, I find that the effect is not so ideal, but when Fabregas and Silva play at the same time, the two can cooperate perfectly. Together, so there is no problem for Arsenal, and I have full confidence in Cesc Fabregas' performance in the new season!"

Maybe Wenger is telling the truth. Fabregas and Vieira are both offensive and defensive players, but Vieira is stronger in defense and weaker in offense.Fabregas is weak defensively and strong offensively.

The conflict between the two is reflected in the fact that if the two act as double midfielder partners and then participate in the offense at the same time during a certain period of time in the game, then the defense of the midfielder's midfielder will be useless.

Qin Xiong experienced this personally in the past season's competition.

However, Silva's iron gate on the back waist line has become an indispensable key figure for Arsenal's midfield defense in the next period.

Arsenal's pre-season warm-up games in the summer will be played at home.

early morning.

In a quiet park, Qin Xiong, Sylvia, and Freddy jogged together.

When taking short breaks after more than half an hour.Freddy said to Qin Xiong while wiping his sweat: "Can you tell me your real thoughts? Long-term thoughts."

Qin Xiong took the towel handed by Sylvia and wiped off his sweat. After a moment of silence, he said: "Arsenal is in line with my football philosophy, or Wenger's coaching policy. He is not pragmatic enough as criticized by the outside world. In the eyes of my coach, winning is everything, but Wenger is not. His pursuit is higher. Not only to win, but also to win beautifully. If nothing changes and Arsenal can maintain their status as a giant, I have no intention of leaving here.”

Freddie thought deeply and sighed: "Vieira is gone, Bergkamp is about to retire, and the trouble facing Arsenal now is whether Henry will be poached by Barcelona, ​​the possibility should not be great. After all, no matter how financially difficult Arsenal is, it is impossible to release the two core players of the team in one summer. Have you ever thought about what role you should play in Arsenal?"

Qin Xiong didn't understand what Freddy meant by coming over for a while, and asked, "Role? Do you want to discuss team skills and tactics with me?"

Freddy waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, that doesn't make sense. I mean your status in the team! Once you were in Ajax, the captain was van der Vaart, and the other teammates were all young stars. You are actually equals. Yes, like at the end of the season, you are recognized by European football clubs. Personal fame, has surpassed van der Vaart. This is your status in Ajax is constantly improving, people will fully recognize How important you are to the team. Contribution to the team. But what about Arsenal? People talk about Henry before they talk about you, if you and Pires are equal in a game, People may also be more inclined to praise Pires and give more credit to Pires, not to mention that if Henry is the hero of the goal, then no matter how many assists you have, you must be behind Henry."

Qin Xiong made a gesture to indicate to continue jogging, and then he didn't speak, he would carefully ponder the meaning of Freddy's words.

In fact, this is true, although the outside world will say that Arsenal has two kings!

But these two kings are based on statistics.

That is a superficial name.

Henry is the king of shooters and Qin Xiong is the king of assists.

But in Highbury, there is only one king, and that is Henry!

When Henry was absent, the public panic caused was absolutely incomparable when Qin Xiong was injured and absent. This is the gap, and it also reflects from the side that Qin Xiong is absolutely inferior to Henry in terms of the importance that the outside world really thinks!

In the past season, Qin Xiong took it for granted.

He came to the UK from the Netherlands. He is just a rookie king, not as rich in popularity capital as Henry. It doesn't make sense for him to be able to surpass the King of Highbury in the first season.

About 25 minutes later, Freddie couldn't run anymore. He bent down and gasped for breath. Qin Xiong still had training today, so he stopped jogging. On the way back to the apartment, Qin Xiong and Freddie continued to run. topic of.

"I thought it would be dangerous to discuss this topic because it would cause my attitude to change."

"No, I'm not trying to tell you that you should think of yourself as more important than Henry. What I'm really trying to say is: you have to improve your status, not after a game where you've made a big difference, just because Henry's Existence, and the outside world will give most of the credit to Henry!"

"This should be a matter of course. I work hard to play every game well, and the outside world will naturally see my contribution and recognize my role."

"That's true, but you should do more! Like asking for higher status from the club! I think you should be aware of that."

"Wenger takes me very seriously."

"Wrong! This kind of attention is not guaranteed! Because you are not an existence that makes them difficult to give up in Arsenal's operating costs. Simply put, the money they invest in you is too little! The player status is It is linked to income! It is not because of how much money you earn that matters, but how much the club pays for you to reflect the importance! Just imagine, if Arsenal only paid you £100 million a year, it would be considered four years The contract is only 400 million pounds. If you are not in good shape, they can find your replacement at any time, such as spending 1000 million to buy a new player to try to replace you. But if you take away from Arsenal for a year What about 300 million pounds? Then four years is 1200 million pounds! Do Arsenal dare to replace you easily? Even if you are not in good shape, their first thought is how to help you recover, and it is definitely not to go to the transfer market to see , Can you find your replacement, because you are too high for their operating costs, this is the most important! This is also the guarantee of status! Going far, they will list you as the core, others Players surround you, and it becomes logical!"

Qin Xiong fell into deep thought when he heard this.

What Freddy said really makes sense! (to be continued~^~)
