Chapter 720: Professor, Times Have Changed (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
When Ronaldo scored to make it 3-0, Arsene Wenger stood on the sidelines, his face blank.
The camera is rigidly locked on Wenger, and objectively speaking, the director is very unfriendly.
There are also commentators discussing what Wenger is thinking at the moment.
He didn't think about anything.
There was only a deep sense of frustration in my heart.
defensive, unguardable; Draining the offensive formation, trying to play against Aston Villa and fight for goals, it is also a failure.
This is a bit cruel for Arsene Wenger, who has been in charge of Arsenal for so many years and has led this team through glory.
The game was played at this point, and Arsene Wenger knew that Aston Villa had won.
With three goals down at half-time and most importantly, the morale of the team is extremely low, how can this game be played?
Although it is said that the game is not over and you can't give up yet, and there is still half a game, there is enough time.
However, depending on the situation, at the very least, the professor's heart at this time is frustrated and helpless.
He had more than just this final on his mind, but the future of Arsenal.
Fang Jue's Aston Villa is like a giant beast suddenly rising, with the current strength of Aston Villa, especially Fang Jue's coaching ability, this team will dominate the Premier League in the short term, not to mention Arsenal, even if Ferguson's Manchester United and Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea, it will be very difficult to shake Aston Villa's plundering of the title.
At least for now.
In addition, there is Manchester City, where the Arab tycoons rise to prominence with cheques.
Arsene Wenger can't even imagine that Arsenal might not even be able to grab a top-four finish in the future.
When it comes to this game specifically, and even going back in time, Arsenal have suffered several heavy defeats at the feet of Aston Villa, and Wenger knows where his team loses.
After the departure of Patrick Vieira, Arsenal did not have a real midfielder to be comfortable with.
Arsene Wenger's gaze stayed on Clement's body, envious.
In Wenger's opinion, it's not Ronaldo, it's not Gareth. Bell, nor is Deisler.
The Spanish midfielder, who is about to turn 30 years old, is Fang Jue's real descendant and the most important player in this team.
What if Arsenal had Clement?
There are no ifs.
At the end of the first half, Aston Villa led 3-0 at half-time thanks to a brace from Luis Suarez and a goal from Cristiano Ronaldo, and they were almost invincible in this Carabao Cup final.
Before the start of the second half, Arsene Wenger made a series of substitutions.
Alexander. Song came off the bench and replaced Petrov.
Veteran Rosicky came off the bench to replace Bendtner, who was almost invisible in the first half.
The whole substitution idea is very clear, stabilize the midfield.
You can't concede any more goals.
With the defeat assured and the title hopeless, Wenger now wants to avoid another heavy defeat.
Slaughtered twice in a row by Aston Villa, Arsene Wenger doesn't want a third time.
Sixty-five minutes into the game, the score was still 3-0, with Aston Villa taking the lead.
Fang Jue was very dissatisfied with the team's lack of achievements in the first 20 minutes of the second half of the game, and he also began to deploy troops.
Ronaldo is substituted.
Sadio Mane came off the bench.
Aston Villa changed their formation to four-three-three.
The change quickly paid off, with Sadio Mane and Gareth Bale tearing apart Arsenal's defence on left and right, leaving Arsenal's wings struggling.
Mane suddenly cut inside to catch the attention of the defender before sending a through ball.
Luka Modric pressed up and into the box to face his former team-mate Koscielny, who crossed wide.
Deisler slipped the ball and Suarez, who was on his heels, volleyed it around the feet of the tackle Vermaelen and flew under Almunia's armpit into the net.
Four to zero!
Suarez scored a hat-trick.
Arsene Wenger hid his face with his hands in pain.
Ronaldo scored his first goal against Arsenal last season and scored a hat-trick.
In the first leg of the league this season, Shevchenko also scored a hat-trick.
This time it was Suarez's turn again.
Arsene Wenger was both bitter and helpless, and at the same time somewhat resentful.
What kind of grudge do Arsenal and Aston Villa have, and they can't wear a sheep with wool!
Fang Jue replaced Suarez, who scored a hat-trick, and brought on Jamie Vardy.
Clement was also substituted, and Sidwell got a rare chance to play.
With Clement's departure, Aston Villa's midfield defensive hardness and effectiveness have significantly decreased.
Van Persie assisted veteran Rosicky for a goal on the 83rd minute to make it 1-4.
But that's about it.
Five minutes later, Deisler's direct free-kick led to a save from Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia, before Vardy saved and Bale slotted home after a follow-up shot was saved.
Five to one!
The Aston Villa celebrated excitedly on the pitch, while the Arsenal players were stunned and demoralized.
In the stands at the new Wembley Stadium, some Arsenal fans have already left the stadium early, and they are not in the mood to watch Arsenal claim the silver.
This situation is very rare in the final, which shows how uncomfortable and disappointed Arsenal fans are.
The Aston Villa fans couldn't get enough of it and stood up in the stands, singing and dancing to celebrate the win in advance.
"It was the least suspenseful game in the history of the League Cup final." Lineker shook his head and sighed, "Arsenal didn't even resist and cause problems for Aston Villa. β
John. Mortensen said even more brutally, "Another heavy defeat, Wenger's expression is painful, I hope he can realise that times have changed, if Arsenal does not make changes, or as always, the gap between them and Aston Villa will only get bigger and bigger, let alone compete for the league title, the top four in the league will become more and more dangerous." β
Staff held up electronic signs showing two minutes of stoppage time, but the referee ignored stoppage time and blew the whistle for the end of the game as soon as the 90-minute mark came.
The camera can capture that when the whistle blew at the end of the game, the Arsenal players, including Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas, breathed a sigh of relief: the nightmare was finally over.
"The game is over, the game is over, five to one! Aston Villa beat Arsenal 5-1 in the Carabao Cup final. β
"Congratulations to Aston Villa and congratulations to Fang Jue for their successful Carabao Cup defence! In a near-suspenseless final, Aston Villa slaughtered Arsenal by a huge margin. β
"2010/2011 English League Champion β Aston Villa!"
Aston Villa's bench players and staff roared onto the pitch to celebrate as the final whistle blew.
Fang Jue pulled the hem of his shirt and strode towards Wenger.
After every game against Arsenal, Fang Jue felt a little embarrassed to comfort the professor's injured heart.
The problem is that those words of comfort, which have been said many times, taste like chewing wax.
Fang Jue didn't know what to say.
β¦β¦
ArsΓ©na, mourning?
Phew.
It's good to be killed.
"Arsna." Fang Jue shook hands with Wenger, stopped talking, and finally sighed and patted the professor's shoulder.
A few times before, the professor's face after losing was not bad, and he would say two words of congratulations very gracefully, but this time, the professor's face was obviously wrong.
"Fang, you say." Arsene Wenger's expression was lonely, "Am I supposed to retire?" β
Don't.
Fang Jue was shocked.
You are retired, who am I bullying...... Bah, where can I find someone with such a good temper and such a good temperament?
"Professor, I don't think I heard that." Fang Jue's expression was serious, "Arsenal has been brilliant in your hands, and it will definitely be okay in the future, the key is to change and say something direct." β
'Aston Villa sold Costa, but we spent close to Β£50 million to bring in Luka Modric and Suarez to quickly add to the squad.
"What about Arsenal? You've signed a Japanese player for free, and you've rarely played. Fang Jue's expression was serious and sincere, "Professor, times have changed, look at Manchester City, it's difficult to produce results without investment now." β
Wenger glanced at Fang Jue, and held back the demon of beating people, others can say this, but you shouldn't say this.
You Villa bought Suarez and Modric, is that what you paid for? That's Liverpool's money, no, it's Chelsea's money.
Huh?
The professor's heart moved......
