Mister Legend

Chapter 562 Is this playing a game?
Since coming to the UK, under the premise of a well-organized lineup, Li Mudi has achieved excellent results against Guardiola, Mourinho, Pochettino and Klopp, the world's famous coaches, although the sample size is not very high. Big, but whether it is the game process or the final result, the Gunners coach is the one who has the upper hand.

However, the overall strength of the team can only be regarded as Newcastle United, which is second-rate in the Premier League. Although Arsenal can guarantee a high winning percentage, the process is very difficult. Put it in your pocket.From this point alone, it can be seen that Benitez's coaching ability, especially in terms of tactical layout, is indeed the world's top, because he can always try his best to find the most uncomfortable opponent in the situation of using the weak to fight the strong. way, and then drag the game into a chaotic rhythm with greater uncertainty, and win the chance from it.

Last summer, an American investment company acquired all the shares of Newcastle United from club owner Mike Ashley, which was strongly resisted by many fans.But the new boss from the other side of the ocean was really willing to pay, and prepared 8000 million pounds of transfer funds for Bei Shuai in one go, helping the Magpies to carry out a series of reinforcements.

It's just that Benitez is really not very good at training players, and his level of management of the locker room is too bad, which seriously affects the team's combat effectiveness.Therefore, after some dynamic lineup adjustments, Newcastle's performance has only risen from No.10 in the previous seasons to eighth now. Before the start of the season, the outside world predicted that they might have a chance to impact Chelsea's evaluation. It's a long way off, which is disappointing.

However, in the home game against the "big devil" Arsenal, Bei Shuai and his disciples suddenly ushered in a big explosion, playing a rare top level on both offense and defense.Especially Colombian striker Juan Hernandez, who has just joined the team for more than half a season, played Icardi's feeling in the face of the Gunners' defense led by Akanji and Maguire. A volley after a personal breakthrough and a spot in front of the goal helped the home team make two achievements, ending the myth of the opponent's unbeaten season.

For this result, Arsenal's supporters must be quite unhappy. They still dream of reliving the glory of completing the whole season with an unbeaten record. After all, it has been a long time since the grand event 19 years ago Time has passed, and many fans of the new generation have not been able to personally experience the feeling of incomparable excitement.Moreover, the team had too many draws that year, resulting in a final total of only 90 points. Not only failed to beat the old rival Manchester United to create a new scoring record in a single season, but was later surpassed by both Chelsea and Manchester City. It is tied with Liverpool for fourth place in the rankings, which does not match the unbeaten aura of the season.

Although Li Moody later led the team to tie the record of 100 points, the team still lost two games in the league that year, which was not particularly perfect.So after the Arsenal team performed like a Super Saiyan this season and performed far beyond the earth level, many people began to fantasize about seeing a super undefeated record that refreshed all records at the end of the season , If you can still keep without losing in all competitions, then you will really have no regrets in this life.

It's a pity that this dream woke up a bit too early. When there was more than one-third of the distance from the finish line, this team that was originally considered to be the strongest in the world at the moment surrendered its first blood, which caused people everywhere. wailing and sighing.

Fortunately, this defeat can be regarded as a good thing for Arsenal's soldiers, allowing them to relieve the huge psychological burden of fear of losing, which is conducive to the team's performance in subsequent games, but everyone really I am very sorry for this loss.This makes the Gunners' next opponent, the British Championship team Preston at home in the fourth round of the FA Cup, an unlucky person. For this team, even though Li Moody dispatched a group of rotations, the result was still an 8-0 tragedy.

Interestingly, the Preston team has also been brilliant in their ancestors. In the first two years of the professional football league in the 1888-90 season, they won the championship of England's top league twice in a row. It is one of the few teams in English football that has won championship titles in the first four leagues.

And it needs to be emphasized that in the history of English professional football, only two teams have completed the feat of winning the top league championship with an unbeaten record in a single season. Except for Arsenal in the 2003-04 season, it is 1888. -Preston in the 89 season.Nicknamed "Arctic", they had a great record of 18 wins and 4 draws in the first year of the establishment of England's top league, creating a record that no latecomer could achieve until 114 years later.And if that result is converted into a three-point system and 38 rounds of competition, the total score will reach an astonishing 100 points, which shows the dominance at the beginning.

However, after more than 140 years of team building, this former champion team from a small town in the northwest of England has long since lost its glory. It is a pity that there is no hope of being promoted to the Premier League at all in the ups and downs of the Championship, League One and League Two.At the same time, the situation of the Preston team is always reminding everyone that the cruelty of professional football, if the development of the club cannot form a good and sustainable state, no matter how good you were before, the future may become extremely miserable .

However, Li Mudi and his team are obviously in a peak state, and there is a difference of light years from the so-called downfall.After easily advancing in the FA Cup, they defeated Everton, AC Milan, Watford and Leicester City non-stop. The cup maintained an excellent state and advanced to the quarter-finals and semi-finals respectively, which did not make the fans' previous worries about their decline become a reality.

As time went on, the five major leagues, including the Premier League, began to enter the late stage with a more intensive schedule, but Arsenal had to suspend the pace of the European campaign first, and take advantage of the competition on March 3. The international flight rushed to Johannesburg, the largest city in South Africa, to participate in the Club World Cup held here.

Due to the chaos of the Qatar World Cup, the 2022-23 Club World Cup was rescheduled to March, which is the first time in history.Fortunately, the seven participating teams have adjusted their schedules early so that this tournament can run normally.

As the seeded team, Arsenal, who played as the defending champions of the Champions League, can directly enter the semi-finals, and the strength of the first opponent will not be very strong, which just allows them to adapt to the local environment and prepare for the final. Prepare.

The result was not everyone's expectation. With some reservations, the Gunners defeated the host team and the last African Champions Cup champion Sunset team with a disparity of 4-0, and easily advanced to the final stage.Four days later, Li Moody sent out a mixed lineup of half main force and half rotation, and defeated the winner of the Copa Libertadores - Penarol of Uruguay with three goals, taking home the first world-class club championship trophy in team history .

They also became the second English team to win the tournament after Manchester United in 2008.Moreover, this is also the tenth time in a row that a European team has won the Club World Cup. The South American powers that were able to wrestle with them before are no longer able to compete with the European giants, let alone underdeveloped regions such as Asia and Africa. up.The structure of world football finally presents a situation where the Europa family dominates. Almost all excellent coaches and players are concentrated in this area, resulting in fierce competition that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

It is precisely in such a difficult environment that Li Mudi led this group of Arsenal players to achieve very stable and impressive results, which has to be admired.

The Gunners, who returned to London with the Club World Cup trophy, had no time to celebrate, and immediately fell into the overwhelmed schedule.Fortunately, with a deep enough lineup, they were not hindered by the intensive schedule and running back and forth, and continued to use their superior strength to continuously reap victories.

When the time came to May 11st International Labor Day, Arsenal still maintained their lead in the league at 30 points, and their record of 3 wins, 1 draws and [-] loss is undoubtedly a new record at the same stage. As long as at least eight points can be scored in the next four rounds, a new history can be created.Considering that the remaining opponents have no strong enemies except Tottenham, the outside world is still very optimistic about the birth of a new record.

But what is more exciting is not the Gunners' success in the Premier League, but their parallel performance on multiple fronts.

On the night of May 5st, Li Moody led his team to beat rivals Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 in the League Cup final, and won the third championship trophy after the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup this season. , and Arsenal also broke into the semi-finals of the Champions League, the FA Cup even reached the final, plus the Premier League, they have the opportunity to complete an unprecedented six crowns, how can this not make the UK and even the whole of Europe There is a sensation in football!

The reason why Barcelona is considered to be a strong contender for the world's best football club in the 21st century is not only the team's outstanding performance, but also the huge influence of their "six crowns" in 2009. immeasurable effect.

Strictly speaking, the Grand Slam of the Catalan giants is actually somewhat flawed, because the three championship titles including the Spanish Super Cup, European Super Cup and Club World Cup actually belonged to the 2009 Grand Slam. -In the 10th season, it can only be regarded as winning six consecutive championships in a natural year, and it cannot be regarded as a harvest in a season.However, at that time, considering that this was also the first time for the creation of the world, the outside world carried out such intense publicity, which caused misunderstandings among many people who did not understand the inside story.

And if Arsenal can really win the six championships mentioned above, it can really be said that there is no questionable question, because all honors belong to this season, which is naturally more rare.The only regret for everyone is that because they only won the Premier League last season and were eliminated in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, they did not get the right to participate in the Community Shield. Otherwise, if they can get this equivalent For the champion of the England Super Cup, that is the true Grand Slam that future generations can only strive to tie but cannot surpass-the seven crowns!Just thinking about it will make people feel inexplicably excited.

In this regard, many fans who are also video game enthusiasts have expressed on the Internet. This extreme situation may only appear in various football games, let alone seven or six championships, even three championships in a single season. Kings are rare in reality, otherwise the entire European football world would not have produced seven teams that have accomplished such a feat until now.

However, Arsenal, which has always had the titles of "Four Mad Devils" and "Most Fake Giants", has the opportunity to create a history close to the limit this season. This is indeed what many people failed to do last summer or even a month or two ago As I thought, even though they reached the top of Europe last year, more people still believed that the Gunners' victory in the Champions League was due to a lot of luck, and no one would be optimistic about them setting foot on the throne of world hegemony since then. .

However, even the most die-hard Arsenal fans have to admit that the current Gunners are indeed qualified to compete after seeing their performance against the world's top giants such as Manchester City, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Tottenham. Check out the best teams in history.This team has shown super competitiveness in every position. Although they do not have a Golden Globe winner, nor are they recognized as top superstars, they are able to rely on super teamwork and team members. The explosions took turns, beheading every opponent who stood in front of him.

The strength of the main force is not inferior to other giants. Each position has at least one other player who has reached the first-class standard for rotation. Their head coach is like the most sophisticated machine, always able to put the team on the spot. The players in the best condition are sent to the field, so the Gunners basically have someone to stand up to help the team solve the problem every game. This is something that other coaches have never and almost impossible to do. A key reason for blocking.

In the latest patch of the famous video game FM2023, Li Moody has surpassed Guardiola and Zidane in the overall value, becoming the most capable head coach today.It’s just that the approval of the game designer is far from enough. This Chinese person needs to show a more convincing performance in reality, so that those Europeans who have always been proud and arrogant will hold their heads high and admit that people of yellow race can also play in football. Success in this sport and even sitting on the throne.
