Jagged Wings

Chapter 171 Opponent Eindhoven
"Robin is an important member of Arsenal in the future, I will not let him go!" Wenger's attitude was very tough, saying that he would never let Van Persie go!
"Robin is leaving? Are you kidding? Robin and I cooperate very well. He is very happy at Arsenal, so why would he ask to leave?" When interviewed, Reyes was very "no "Solution" said, matching the confused expression on his face, the reporters were taken aback for a while.

And in Leitusi's heart, he had already burst into laughter: I'm going to add insult to injury to you, do you understand what a high-level black is?

What Reyes said seems to be adding points for Van Persie, but in fact, it is blocking the retreat for Van Persie.It's okay to stay, once he leaves, the fans will not spare him!
But the fans' voices are actually very pale and weak, and the decisions they can influence are very few.The only thing they can do is wait!

There are already fans who care about boycotting Van Persie.Someone even lost Van Persie's jersey in front of the club's goal.According to data from Arsenal's official website, in the past week, the sales of Van Persie's jerseys dropped from [-] pieces to the point where no one cares about them, and no one is going to buy his jerseys anymore.

The only one sold was this one that was burned at the entrance of the club.

Wenger is also struggling, whether to let Van Persie go.Van Persie's contract has only one and a half years left. If he does not sign, Van Persie will leave on a free transfer next season. This is absolutely unbearable for Wenger, who is budget-conscious!

But he was reluctant to let Van Persie go like this!

Of course, captain Henry was hospitalized and vice-team Gilberto acted as a microphone. According to him, the players were extremely dissatisfied with Van Persie's remarks.

Although Van Persie is very important to Wenger's psychology, Wenger's position is still very obvious when facing the whole team.It is impossible for him to give up the Arsenal group for the sake of Van Persie.

Although Van Persie really wanted to stay in the Arsenal team, Henry's "injury report" made him have doubts about the main position, coupled with his outstanding performance in the last two games.Van Persie realized that if he went to play in another team, maybe the main position would no longer be a dream!
Just as Ferguson promised him!
On January 2007, 1, before the winter transfer window closed, Manchester United announced the introduction of Arsenal's young striker Van Persie for £31 million!

After finishing the medical examination, Van Persie expressed his excitement: "I dream of playing for Manchester United, and I hope to win all the championships for Manchester United!"

This passage allowed Van Persie to quickly win the hearts of Manchester United fans and made them full of confidence in this new striker.On the major forums of gun fans, Van Persie has long been hacked.

After Van Persie left, the Arsenal dressing room regained its vitality, and it was no longer as dead as before.Of course, Wenger's front line was stretched again.

As soon as Van Persie left, Henry didn't have to hide it anymore, and directly announced that "the injury has worsened and he will be reimbursed for the season", which caused a burst of lamentation from the outside world.Then, everyone suddenly discovered that only Torres and Adebayor were left on Arsenal's forward line, and Ariadiere and Walcott on the bench were the only forward substitutes.

What is even more worrying is that Torres has suffered a scoring drought and has not scored in eight consecutive games.

On February 2, in the second round of the League Cup semi-finals, Torres was replaced by the teenager Walcott after consecutive starts, and sat on the bench for 1 minutes. As a result, the little tiger Walcott played well and helped the weak striker Assen Nathan drew 90:1 with his rivals in the same city and advanced to the final of this year's League Cup!

On January 1, they will face their old rival Chelsea at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff!

But before that, Arsenal still have two league games, an FA Cup and a Champions League knockout match to play.The opponents in these games, except for the Champions League knockout opponent Ajax, the strength of the other three teams is not strong.

But as soon as Van Persie left, Arsenal's weak attack was undoubtedly revealed!Arsenal's previous ten-game winning streak has finally been curbed.In the league, they were tied by Middlesbrough in the away game. Back at home, Arsenal relied on Reyes' penalty kick to beat Wigan Athletic 2-1 with difficulty, following in the footsteps of Manchester United!

The weakness of the lineup made Wenger have to make a choice. In the FA Cup on the 17th, Wenger sent a youth army composed of Song, Walcott and other young players. In the end, the youth Arsenal lost 0:1 to Black at home. Ben, this season's FA Cup journey is over!
The next game will be a highlight: Arsenal will go away to challenge Eindhoven!
This Eindhoven is currently in very good condition, making great strides in the Eredivisie and taking the top spot!If you meet Arsenal, who have performed poorly recently, it will be hard to tell the outcome!
Koeman replaced Hiddink as the head coach of Eindhoven this season, and defensive counterattacks have become the team's signature style of play.

However, their shortcomings are also very obvious, and they rely too much on striker Kone in offense.

Therefore, in the pre-match drills, Wenger specifically told the players to strengthen the marking of Kone.

But knowing it is one thing, being able to defend it is another. Just 2 minutes into the game, Kone took the ball in the middle and attracted the attention of three people, and then passed it to the goal. des.

Mendes fired a strong shot and broke the Arsenal goal.

1: 0!

Eindhoven at home has made a fantastic start!

After scoring the goal, Eindhoven thought that the game had entered their track, so they shrank their defense and played their own defensive counterattack comfortably.

Arsenal seldom defended and counterattacked, and this game was no exception. Since the opponent retreated, Arsenal naturally took the initiative on the field unceremoniously!

In the 23rd minute, Torres received a pass from Reyes in the middle, and suddenly shot a long shot. Eindhoven goalkeeper Gomez flew to save the football to the bottom line.

The 27th minute.Arsenal's field captain Gilberto sent a through pass in front of the penalty area. Fabregas suddenly shot from the right side of the penalty area. Goalkeeper Gomez blocked the football and ended Arsenal's attack.

Eindhoven, which leads by one goal, is very satisfied with this result, and they are not in a hurry to attack.On the other side, Arsenal seemed very impatient, and many good opportunities were wasted by them.

Such a score was finally maintained until the end of the first half, and the score of the first half was finally fixed at 1:0.

During the intermission, Wenger made adjustments to the team. He replaced Gilberto, who was not in good form, and was replaced by Rosicky. The team changed to 442 and added an attacking midfielder in the midfield.In this case, the team will have one more person in the offense and more opportunities.

After the simple arrangement, Wenger and members of the coaching staff left the locker room, and they left the time in the locker room to the players themselves.Wenger is a player who likes to give full play to the autonomy of the players. He likes to give a general idea. Some specific things still need to be communicated and played by the players themselves.

Sure enough, as soon as he left, the players discussed with each other. Everyone sat in their respective positions and expressed their opinions, either to remind teammates to pay attention to running positions, or to suggest that someone should take more sides, or it was aimed at the other party. How to deal with difficult characters...

"We must strengthen our pass coordination and increase the pass success rate!" Reyes stood up: "We had too many opportunities in the first half, but we wasted more opportunities!"

"Of course, Antonio!" Fabregas said: "Did Rosicki be replaced without seeing the coach?"

Reyes felt that the opponent's restrictions in the first half were too targeted: "We should change positions more in the second half, so that we can disrupt their deployment!"
