I work as a coach at Stamford Bridge

Chapter 193 I'll Wait For You In The Finals

It rained lightly in London one day, and the temperature was a bit cold.

On May 2009, 5, the UEFA Champions League semi-final will be held here. The two sides are Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium at home and Manchester United playing away.

The 39th meeting between Wenger and Ferguson.

In addition to Yunqiao and the coaching staff who were watching the game, Guardiola and the coaching staff were also watching the match in the nearby hotel.

The game against Chelsea has not yet started, and it is still unknown who will win.Knowing the opponents in the final is even more important.

On this rainy night, the professor was very unlucky. He encountered his young players making mistakes, and he also encountered Ronaldo who went berserk.

Only 8 minutes into the game, Arsenal's defender Gibbs made a mistake and slipped outside his penalty area. The ball was snatched by C-Ronaldo, who passed it to Park Ji-sung, who was unguarded, and scored into the dead corner. 1:0.
Just 3 minutes later, Ronaldo scored from a free kick, 2:0.
C-Ronaldo, who has descended from the gods, is like a mirror of no one, and the entire Arsenal's defense has been defeated by him alone.

In the second half, Ronaldo, who could not be restricted at all, contributed another masterpiece in the 61st minute.

A beautiful back-foot pass from his own backcourt, then went straight to 61 meters to receive a pass from Rooney and scored.

This is already his 7th shot and 5th time in this game. Ronaldo is full of firepower in this game and is unstoppable.

He used this kind of performance to fight back these days. The fans have discussed him and Kaka these days. Ronaldo used a direct goal to tell everyone that my Mr. Football is also worthy of the name, not stolen.

Until the last moment, Arsenal saved some face from a penalty kick scored by Van Persie, but this season Wenger's team once again failed to win, and the four majors were all empty. It was the fourth year that Arsenal had no championship income.

It may be that that undefeated season really wiped out Arsenal's background, and Wenger did not receive sufficient financial support. Relying on the young players he introduced, Wenger could barely maintain the fourth place in the league.

Although Arsenal fans are disappointed, they still trust Wenger. They also know what the club is like. If there is no rich man to take over, it will be difficult to compete with Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool.

What makes them even more worried is that Arsenal may not even be fourth in the future. Manchester City has already received a bonus from local tyrants. Are they satisfied with just this season's results?
impossible.

It made the Arsenal fans collapse even more. The local tyrant they wanted to wait for ended up waiting for a jackal, which made Arsenal go deeper into the abyss.

The thing that made Ferguson feel imperfect was the red card received by midfielder Fletcher at the end of the game. He couldn't make it to the final. Ferguson believed that the Italian referee Rossetti's penalty was problematic.

"You could see the ball moving in different directions, already away from Cesc Fabregas."

"I think Fletcher was really unlucky, but there's nothing you can do about it."

When a reporter asked whether Fletcher was going to play in the Rome final, Ferguson said, "You saw his performance tonight, all important games, Fletcher will be an important player for you."

Talking about this game, Ferguson said confidently, "Judging from the confidence shown by the players, our game is very good."

In fact, there is one thing Ferguson did not say. He received the unfortunate news from the police halfway through the game. His daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter were in a car accident and were seriously injured. But Ferguson still Commanded the game very calmly.

If he didn't have the anxiety in his heart under such strong pressure, he would infect his emotions to the players. This is something Ferguson didn't see.

For an old man, knowing that his family had a car accident, but he could only bear it, Ferguson must have a strong heart.

The game was lost, and Wenger also said that his team was indeed not good enough. "Tonight, we were defeated by a team with the art of ending the game. They caught every mistake we made."

"Of course the player of the night was Ronaldo, he made us very uncomfortable."

"The most disappointing thing is that the game was over before it started. We just had to watch ourselves, it's disappointing to have come this far in the Champions League and then to send the game away like we did today."

"We conceded two goals in the first 3 minutes. Against a team that defended well, this is too much. We were already stunned by the opponent at the beginning, and the rest of it was like that. .”

"After only 10 minutes of the game, it was impossible to advance. We continued to play, and let's fight for honor."

Next, Wenger needs to think about next season, because they have now secured the fourth place in the league, although there are still three league games to play, and their opponents are Chelsea and Manchester United.

The two of them are now fighting for the championship, not Arsenal. Therefore, Wenger's focus may return to team building.

The 1:3 loss to Manchester United in this game is also the third time Arsenal have lost in the Premier League derby in the Champions League in recent years.

In the 2003/2004 season, the invincible Arsenal had an absolute advantage in the game, and it was only at the last minute that they were eliminated by Chelsea's Bridge.

Last season, Arsenal met Liverpool in the knockout round. Walcott turned out and scored a goal, which made Arsenal fight until the last second.

Meeting Manchester United this season, the battle ended within 10 minutes. Wenger's team met the Premier League team in the Champions League, which is almost the problem they are facing now.

Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool firmly put Arsenal under pressure.

He already has the support of the club, and there will be a lot of transfer funds next season, which will allow Wenger to better adjust the team, and now his team is not very quiet.

It has been hard to find a championship for several consecutive years. Professor Wenger should also adjust the overall age of the team. The youth storm cannot bring Arsenal the championship, but these young players have played together for three or four years under Wenger's training. With the growth of age and the improvement of skills, the cooperation between them should be the harvest season for the team's performance.

It's just that Professor Wenger forgot one thing, without a championship for many years, will they really stay?

Wenger's wishful thinking is, "These players have been playing together for almost 5 years. If you can play at a wealthy club at the age of 21, why go elsewhere? 90% of the players should thank this club for giving If we give them a chance, we will try to keep them."

But reality is always slapping the professor. Last season, Hleb and Flamini left, so what about this season?Theo Walcott and Van Persie's contracts are about to expire, will they stay?

No championship, no salary increase, can football still be the same as before, players will stay in the team with honor?
Adebayor has always wanted to leave and wanted money. What was even more exaggerated was that before this game, he also broke the news to the media that he often talked with AC Milan manager Galliani on the phone. He still yearns for fashion. Both are Milan.

In addition, after Xiaofa became famous, Barcelona has been tempting him to return to his hometown. After all, he is a player who came out of the La Masia training camp, so why would he not want to return to the place where his dream began.

Tonight in London, many fans are destined to be sad. It depends on whether other fans will be happy tomorrow night.

And Ferguson called Yunqiao that night and only said one sentence.

I'll wait for you in the finals first!
