The news that Wenger walked away after the game was widely disseminated on Fleet Street, and some media obtained secret news from the top of Arsenal through special channels.

"Wenger is dissatisfied with the top of the board!"

Although Wenger has a lot of power over the internal management of the team, he is also constrained by the board of directors when it comes to money matters.

Wenger's dissatisfaction is not simply because the top management has not negotiated a contract extension with Qin Xiong, but the reason is Ashley Cole's contract extension.

What annoys him the most is that the club's senior management and Ashley Cole have become strangers to each other because of a disagreement in the weekly salary contract of 5000 pounds!

It can be said that Ashley Cole is more important than Qin Xiong!

Because Ashley Cole is: youth training player + future captain candidate + world-class full-back!

From a comprehensive consideration of all factors, Qin Xiong is not as important as Ashley Cole. You must know that in English football, just a local account comes with a bonus of almost 500 million pounds, and it will only be higher in the future!

Treating such an important player, the high-level executives actually made a series of follow-up matters because of the disagreement over the weekly salary of 5000 pounds. If Ashley Cole’s conditions were met early, maybe there would be no later "Colemen". With the current clause in Ashley Cole's contract that allows him to transfer after the end of the 05/06 season, the Arsenal executives need Ashley Cole to pay at least one more season of loyalty, but unfortunately Ashley Cole This season, he is determined to kill thieves but can't recover. He lies in the hospital bed every day. Whether he can make more contributions to the team is really hard to predict.

It is conceivable that the difference in Qin Xiong's contract renewal negotiations is above the weekly salary of 5000 pounds.Then there is nothing incomprehensible that the negotiations have reached an impasse.

Wenger's dissatisfaction can only be ignored.

......

The Premier League schedule is not stereotyped.

20 teams, 380 games throughout the season, each team will play home and away games against the other 19 teams, but not in the 19 games in the first half of the season, they will definitely be separated from these 19 teams fight.

For example, this year's Christmas schedule, Arsenal's opponent in the 18th round of the Premier League is Chelsea.

In August, Arsenal played against Chelsea, and there will be a second match in the 8th round.Why did the FA arrange the schedule like this?

Perhaps it is the Christmas game that attracts attention. Arranging a Chelsea-Arsenal duel can maximize the attention of the game, and naturally maximize the promotion and benefits of the Premier League brand.

As of Arsenal's 19-round schedule, the only opponent that did not play against in the first half of the schedule was Manchester United.

In other words, Arsenal will play two league civil wars with Chelsea in the first 19 rounds of this season, and then play two league civil wars with Manchester United in the 19 rounds of the second half of the season.

Chelsea's state is still good, if you exclude the loss to Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.Now they will only be one point behind Arsenal.

However, just as Arsenal's strength is considered to have declined.Chelsea also seem to have some problems compared to last season.

The problem arises in the defense. The intuitive data is that their defensive conceded more goals than last season. Although they are still the best defensive team in the Premier League, the conceded goals represent a decline in defensive strength.

The core factor here is that some players "commit to make trouble".

William Gallas.

The Frenchman, who had been playing full-back last season, was very dissatisfied with Mourinho.

Because he wants to play centre-back, simple as that.

After persisting for a season, he finally broke out.

After not getting Mourinho's support, he actually threatened to retaliate against the society by saying, "If you don't play me a central defender, I will kick an own goal!"

This hidden danger has always existed.It has existed since Mourinho entered Stamford Bridge, so the "Colemen" incident in which Mourinho met with Ashley Cole in private and was investigated by the FA happened.

Del Horno, who was introduced by Mourinho in the summer, did not satisfy him. Bridge, who was originally a full-back, was recuperating for half a year due to a serious injury, so that Chelsea encountered a shortage of full-backs.

Mourinho is desperate to get Ashley Cole to perfect the lineup, and also overturns the reason he once duplicity said he never thought of signing Ashley Cole: height.

There is another factor that has caused Chelsea to not be as strong as last season: the Champions League group stage.

After Liverpool won the Champions League last season, UEFA opened the door for them to allow Liverpool, who is ranked fifth in the Premier League but is the defending champion of the Champions League, to start from the qualifying rounds, and then Liverpool went all the way to the Champions League.

However, Liverpool will not be given any convenience when drawing lots, which means that Liverpool has no evasion principle.

This led to a rare scene in the Champions League group stage: Chelsea and Liverpool were in the same group.

Plus Real Betis from La Liga and Belgian champion Anderlecht in the same group.

The competition in this group is extremely brutal.

The two fronts of the Champions League and the league cannot be viewed separately.For example, Chelsea played a Champions League group match with Liverpool in the middle of the week, and the weekend league or the previous league will inevitably be affected.

Arsenal's opponents in the group stage are generally not strong.Only Ajax, which is in decline, is considered a small threat, so the investment in the Champions League is much lower than before.While reducing consumption, you can also concentrate on the league.

Chelsea made it through the group stage with great difficulty, but because they were robbed of the first place in the group by Liverpool, Chelsea encountered the thriving La Liga giants Barcelona for the second consecutive year in the knockout round.

The second half of 2005 was difficult for Chelsea.

Under internal and external troubles, they are fully armed to visit North London on the second day of Christmas!

Qin Xiong spent Christmas Eve and Christmas happily, and even built a snowman with Georgia in the garden in front of the apartment.

Then he returned to the battlefield with high fighting spirit.

Highbury, 12 December.

Just after noon, there were huge crowds of people inside and outside Highbury. Many fans dressed as Santa Claus came to the stadium, and the festive atmosphere was very strong.

After the pre-match warm-up, the players from both sides are ready to play.

Standing in the player tunnel, all the Chelsea generals looked serious, and the leader, Captain Terry, already had a majestic temperament.

He turned his head and looked at Henry, who is in hot condition and is expected to defend the European Golden Boot.

Moving his gaze to Henry's back, Terry's gaze became more serious.

It's been a long time.

Qin Xiong!

Terry withdrew his gaze and didn't look at other Arsenal players.

Any team with two stars, Qin Xiong and Henry, should not be underestimated.

What's more, Arsenal itself also has outstanding stars in other positions.

But under the cover of the light of Qin Xiong and Henry, they seemed overshadowed.

As the referee led the referee team into the field, Arsenal and Chelsea walked towards the stadium together!

The Christmas battle is the top battle, and the flames of war are ignited! (to be continued~^~)
