Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior
Chapter 407 Professor’s pre-match declaration: An FA Cup final with no regrets (page 12)
The 2017-2018 Premier League season is over, and it has been decided whether the teams that will participate in the Champions League or the Europa League next season and the relegated teams have settled.
Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham represent the Premier League in next season's Champions League group stage, while Liverpool and Chelsea represent the Premier League in next season's Europa League.
The relegated teams are West Bromwich Albion, Stoke City and Swansea.
However, it has not yet been decided whether Liverpool will play in the Europa League or the Champions League next season.
As long as they defeat Atletico Madrid from La Liga in the Europa League final six days later, Liverpool will participate in next season's Champions League group stage as the champion of the Europa League.
Prior to this, the only player who received much attention was Martin.
He scored four goals in the final round of the league, surpassing the single-season record of 1927 goals set by Everton legend Dixie Dean in the 1928-60 season.
You must know that it is very difficult to break such an ancient record.
Especially in the last century, it was the norm to focus more on offense than on defense.
It is normal for a forward to average one goal per game.
Modern football is more utilitarian. Many teams set up their buses and defend with tight fences from the beginning.
It doesn't give you a comfortable chance to get the ball, let alone shoot.
In addition, Martin is not playing as a forward, but as a free man in the frontcourt.
While shouldering the responsibility of defense and organizing offense, he also has to participate in the final shot.
From this we can easily see how powerful Martin is.
Able to attack and defend!
The true sense of both offense and defense.
Wenger, who attended the regular press conference after the game, became the focus of attention from reporters from mainstream European media, including the British media.
the reason is simple.
At the press conference before the final game of the season, Wenger took the initiative to mention that he would announce an important matter after the game.
Media reporters are all quick-thinking. How could they not guess what Wenger wanted to say?
At the annual awards ceremony in London last October, Wenger had hinted that he would retire after this summer's success.
Although Arsenal still have two finals to play, the Premier League is over and something should be revealed.
as predicted!
Facing the expectant reporters, Wenger smiled: "In the blink of an eye, it has been more than 21 years and five months since I came to Arsenal. I am about to turn 5 and have reached the retirement age set in advance. I have spent all these years working at Arsenal. I’m ashamed of my family, but fortunately...the summer three years ago..."
Professor Wenger seemed to be telling a long story.
No reporter present felt abrupt or impatient.
They all play the role of listener very well.
Including Martin, who was accompanying him, they all looked solemnly at the old coach who did not hesitate to put himself into the game for the sake of Arsenal's rise.
Many reporters took out their mobile phones and turned on their built-in audio and video recording functions.
They know that there is no possibility of seeing Professor Wenger talking about these things again in the near future.
"I have no regrets in my coaching career. I hope to spend more time with my wife and children. Thank you all..."
At the end of the sentence, Wenger gave people the feeling of being speechless and choked, but he did not shed tears. He pursed his lips and tried his best to smile as gracefully as he did when he first came to England: "You heard it right, the FA Cup final." and the Champions League final are the last two games of my coaching career. From now on...I will become a die-hard Gunners fan, and I will also have my own fixed position at the Emirates Stadium..."
Martin's expression was serious, but he didn't say anything.
There is only one protagonist in this routine press conference after the game.
That... is Professor Wenger who has been fighting for Arsenal for more than 21 years.
Even if he just broke the old League One single-season scoring record set by Dixie Dean.
……
The end of the season does not mean that players on many teams can enter the rare summer vacation.
Next month is the Fighting Nations World Cup, and the national teams of many Premier League players have begun their final preparations.
Of course, these players also have a short vacation.
After a few days of rest, he went to the national team's training ground to prepare for the World Cup group stage matches.
However, Arsenal players and Real Madrid players are the latest players from major European leagues to go to the national team training ground to prepare for the World Cup group stage matches.
Arsenal players also need to participate in more games.
In addition to the FA Cup final, Arsenal also has the Champions League final!
Fortunately, by winning the league championship ahead of schedule, the main players were given a very scientific rest period, thus avoiding fatigue and injuries caused by too many games.
The Arsenal team, which ended the 2017-2018 Premier League season, was given two days of rest before preparing for the FA Cup final at the new Wembley Stadium.
During this period, Wenger's coaching team also has to prepare for the Champions League final.
In the last two games of his coaching career, he must stand on the last duty.
Not only the mainstream media in Europe, but also the vast majority of media around the world, focused their reports on what Wenger said after the Premier League.
Indispensable is Martin's season record of 61 goals.
But Martin scored 57 goals in the Premier League last season. In the eyes of many people, it is normal for him to break his own scoring record.
Besides, after 37 league rounds, 57 goals have been scored. It is not particularly strange to score four goals against Huddersfield, who were relegated in advance in the last round.
After all, Martin's scoring ability is there.
Therefore, the focus of the media is on Wenger, who is approaching retirement.
Two days later, the Arsenal team returned to Colney training base for targeted training.
The first is the FA Cup final against Manchester United, and then the Champions League final against Real Madrid.
Although there was a very good record advantage against Manchester United in the British arena in the past, past games can only be used as a reference, but they cannot lock in future game victories in advance.
The Champions League final is still six days away from the FA Cup final, so the tactical drills against Real Madrid at the Colney training base are limited in content and mainly focus on the FA Cup final against Manchester United.
As the game gets closer, fans from both sides begin to be active on social platforms.
Mainly composed of Arsenal fans who are full of self-confidence.
They preached that Arsenal would win.
Except for some young Manchester United fans who angrily criticized Arsenal fans for wanting to eat shit, most of them behaved very low-key.
In the past, many fans have unreasonably questioned Arsenal's dominance of the game, and as a result, they were all slapped in the face.
In addition, the Internet has memory.
Many bored fans like to take screenshots and save them for slaps in the face after the game.
In order to avoid unnecessary situations, it is better to do less than to do more.
The 2017-2018 FA Cup season will start at 5 pm local time on May 19th at the traditional Wembley Stadium.
At noon on the 18th, the entire Manchester United team arrived in London by bus. After a brief adjustment at their hotel, they headed to the new Wembley Stadium for pre-match acclimatization training and to attend a routine pre-match press conference.
