Chapter 122: Who Says It Isn't
What's in a hurry?
You Mo didn't know the answer either. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Maybe it's just that his steps are too fast, and his level and vision have already entered the top. He desperately hopes that his former friends will also grow greatly, and that they can follow his footsteps closely, instead of falling further and further behind him until they can't even see their backs clearly.
In fact, he can choose to shoulder the heavy responsibility and carry the team forward, just like Arsenal last season. But reality woke him up and made him understand that he too would fall, and he would be unlucky, and he would also be in poor shape for various reasons.
The World Cup is a feast for all the top teams, and there are all kinds of opponents in it, and if you want to win with the united front, you can't rely on your own ability. Even if he still has Lu Wei by his side, his power will decline due to various accidents, and there is still no guarantee that the team's competitiveness is enough to pose a threat to the world's powerhouses.
At this stage, the strength of his friends is not even up to last season's Arsenal, and it is even more incomparable to this season. The '02 World Cup is still one year and five months away from the current full game, and there is not much time left for them!
In fact, strictly speaking, around the age of 25 is the general maturity period of players, and it is also the easiest time to produce results. But he doesn't plan to pin his hopes on the World Cup in Germany in five years, his mind is only thinking about the present, and he doesn't think that thinking according to common sense can bring miracles.
For example, this game in front of you.
Everyone thinks that after a big away win in the Champions League, Arsenal are about to return to their home game to beat Crystal Palace, but he doesn't think so.
Despite a last-gasp last-minute finish, the team's form remains problematic and the thin depth of the squad does not allow Arsene Wenger to make significant changes. In this situation, being cautious is the king to win, and thinking that you can do whatever you want if you are stronger than your opponent is inevitably thinking about the football game too simply.
He wasn't going to warn his teammates, he felt that it would be redundant and counterproductive, so he giggled and joked as usual. It wasn't until he finished saying hello and came on the field that he put away his smile and squinted at his opponent.
Since the Crystal Palace team introduced two Chinese people at once, the club label has been marked with the word "China". Their defence has indeed been cemented by the addition of these two top domestic players, and until the game against Manchester United, they still had the illusion that as long as they defend well, it will be difficult for even giant-level opponents to break the deadlock. If a flaw is revealed in a hurry, their carefully prepared rapid counterattack may become a sharp weapon for upsets!
After this illusion was shattered by reality, they inevitably fell into confusion, and only managed to get a draw in three consecutive rounds, and the ranking plummeted to the relegation zone!
What's the problem?
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
Too conservative!
Offense and defense are like the two ends of the scale, and maintaining balance can show its own weight. Even if the team's style and personnel composition lead to an asymmetry in attack and defense, there should be no psychological bias and feel that as long as one end is good, the other will be better.
The league is not a cup competition, and there is no such thing as a seven-game draw to win the title. In the face of different opponents, you must have different strategies to win smoothly, otherwise you will fall into a hard battle and play extremely hard!
When they played Manchester United at home, their desire for an upset was beyond their ability, thinking that the opponent had no way to take their own bucket formation, so when they were besieged, they did not think about how to change the situation, but just waited for the opponent to make a mistake and let them steal the opportunity to win.
This kind of thinking belongs to the typical type of person who does not consider the consequences, and is not mentally prepared for the quick and early conceded goal, so that in the end there is no complete body to lose.
After the bubble of hope burst, they collectively suffered from form problems, with three games with one draw and two defeats making it look like they were shaking their heads.
It wasn't until this match against Manchester United's opponents that their results improved slightly, and they temporarily maintained 13th place in the league. In this situation, no one has confidence that they will be able to retire from Highbury, and even Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi are not optimistic when chatting before the game, thinking that the team should win less and stop having unrealistic illusions.
These two people have experienced a lot of joys and sorrows in their lives, and now they are much calmer, no longer fooled by the "peak showdown" advocated by the domestic media, and they are eager to prove something.
This mentality is a sign that a team is recovering from a setback, and they are not aware of it as insiders, nor are the Arsenal players.
It's just a weak team, and it's not easy to win the home field?
The results were clearly somewhat disappointing.
With both sides playing with all the main players, the first half was 0:0, and both sides missed the opportunity to rewrite the score!
Although Arsenal missed out a little more, and it seems more regrettable, missing is missing, and blaming luck is a sign of an unbalanced mentality.
In contrast, the Crystal Palace team is not chaotic in defense, actively inserted in attack, relies on abundant physical fitness, reasonable tactics, and plays impressively!
This performance caused the pessimistic onlookers to shut up and turn their heads to the old story, questioning Arsenal's status.
"I didn't play well!"
Wang Dan in the stands sighed, looking unhappy, "A big victory is so defeated?" ”
Zhang Xiaorui smiled without saying a word, put his chin in his hand, and shook his head gently.
Wang Dan immediately understood, and said with a smile: "However, Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi performed really well, and they were able to contain the left offensive that Arsenal relied on to open the situation, and the strength of the two has greatly improved!" ”
This is a statement that reveals the truth.
Since Ljungberg's injury, Arsenal's attack on the right has been in a state of constipation, and even if the opponent is not strong, Gaard or Parlour will not be able to regain their former glory. In addition, right-back Lauren is a guy with mediocre assist ability, and there are few eye-catching performances, so it is always difficult to overwhelm the opponent on the right side, and it is good to be able to defend.
In the previous games, the left-sided attack was the killer feature for this team to open up the situation. Whether it is an individual breakthrough or a small area of cooperation, Ashley Cole, Pire, Henry, the impact formed by these three people makes the opponent uncomfortable.
However, walking on one leg is obviously more likely to be slowed down by form problems, and as long as one of the three is not in the best condition, the local offensive will be significantly damp.
Due to Wiltord's rare rest in this game, Kevin Ashley, who replaced him, was mediocre and not enough to play a lubricating role in the cooperation of the above three. At the same time, Ashley Cole's fitness was red after a series of outbursts, and the game was not too eye-catching at both ends of the pitch, so the level of attacking on the left that opened the game dropped somewhat.
In contrast, Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi are not as eager to prove something as they are when they play Manchester United, maintaining a high level of concentration when defending, doing what they can when attacking, and easily leaving no gaps for opponents. The two are already second-year students in the Premier League, and not only their strength has risen steadily, but their experience has also risen considerably. With the assistance of their teammates, the two kept the right side of the guard tight.
In this way, it will be difficult for Arsenal's attack to play penetrating. Even Bergkamp's presence in the most familiar position of shadow striker did not help the team break the deadlock.
The Dutchman plays up front in the field and does not belong to the traditional midfielder style of play. Although the ability to create chances through passing is also a master, the level of acting as a metronome and being responsible for organizing the attack cannot be compared, and the ability to get rid of it in a small area is not effective.
The two wings could not open the situation, and the shells delivered to the middle lane were suddenly reduced, and the quality was only average, so it was quite difficult to break the dense defense.
"yes, they played well." Zhang Xiaorui laughed, his round face looked a little honest, "Maybe I learned a lesson, I was too eager to perform in the game of Manchester United." ”
Wang Dan just wanted to open his mouth but remembered something, so he asked with a smile: "Do you spend your spare time watching game videos?" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaorui smiled a little shyly, "Why not?" The habit I developed when I was guided by Zhu in the past can't get rid of it now if I want to. ”
The answer was expected, but Wang Dan was still a little difficult to let go, so he shook his head lightly and said, "Why are you like an ascetic?" Shouldn't young people's lives be colorful? ”
Zhang Xiaorui also shook his head, but his smile was bright and his voice was brisk, "I'm not good at socializing, and I'm not interested in calling people brothers and sisters in those glamorous occasions." Watching game footage is fun and self-improving, so why not do it? ”
These words made Wang Dan even more moved.
She has quite a lot of experience in dealing with domestic players, and her exposure is enough to cover most of the domestic football world. Before the start of the professional league, although the older generation of athletes did not have a high level of education, they were practical and down-to-earth, and most of them gave people a sense of maturity and stability in their speech and demeanor.
After the boom in the professional league, everything changed.
The level of education is getting lower and lower, the words and deeds are becoming more and more vulgar, and the whole circle exudes a nouveau riche flavor, and the mentality is even more impetuous.
It's simply a true portrayal of "men become bad when they are rich"!
Compared with those people, the little fat man in front of him is really a little simple and cute.
"Really, those women don't know where their eyes go, and a good man like you doesn't rush to ask for them!"
Wang Dan said indignantly, and a sly smile slipped through his eyebrows.
Zhang Xiaorui really blushed, and her voice stammered, "Sister-in-law, don't praise me like this, in fact, I'm actually very boring, and I won't enliven the atmosphere......."
Wang Dan waved his hand and interrupted disapprerovingly: "What's the big deal, just find someone who can say that it will make trouble!" ”
After speaking, he smiled again, and winked proudly: "Why don't I introduce you to one?" ”
Zhang Xiaorui was a little dumbfounded, and after a while, he nodded lightly, "If you have a sister-in-law, you can check it, my mother has actually been urging for a long time." ”
The smile on Wang Dan's face became brighter and brighter, with an expression of "I can't hide anything", hehehe for a while, and finally put away the smile and said seriously: "Those who do your business are all eating youth rice." Although you can become a coach after retiring, to tell you the truth, there are few who are really successful! ”
Zhang Xiaorui couldn't figure out what she wanted to say, so she could only nod her head and be taught, "Sister-in-law, what you said is that there are not a few people who eat this bowl of rice after retiring, but there are very few who really succeed." ”
Wang Dan continued to say: "So, if you want to think about it in the long run, if you are so obsessed with football, you have to find someone who can understand, preferably one who has professional experience!" ”
After speaking, he added: "Otherwise, you won't be able to make trouble just by looking for someone who can make trouble, and you're not interested in messing around there, right?" ”
As soon as he said this, the scope suddenly narrowed a lot, Zhang Xiaorui hesitated, and reluctantly asked: "Do you mean to find a circle that is more suitable for me?" ”
Wang Dan did not answer positively, and continued to follow the good path, "Women's football is not as beautiful as men's football, even if you win the world championship, it will become history in a few years, and you won't get too many benefits." You've been in the circle for a long time, you should know this, right? ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaorui sighed a little, "Yes, the grades are much higher than us, but the money earned is not even one-tenth!" ”
"yes, they're all good." Wang Dan sighed casually, and said in a changed voice: "Now that they have completed the task, it's time to consider personal problems, how about it, do you want me to build a bridge?" ”
Zhang Xiaorui was mentally prepared, he didn't stay in a daze for a long time, nodded and smiled: "Okay, no matter whether it can be done or not, it's not bad to make such a friend." ”
A stone fell to the ground in Wang Dan's heart, his expression was relaxed, and his voice was happy, "Then it's decided, it just so happens that you are about to enter the winter break, and it is time to hurry up and get rid of life events!" ”
"Uh, uh, uh, yes, yes!" Zhang Xiaorui couldn't laugh or cry on his face, thought about it, and asked again: "You can't fight an unprepared battle, can I ask who the other party is?" ”
This made Wang Dan very useful, so he didn't sell it, "The first beauty of women's football, it's time to prepare!" ”
Zhang Xiaorui's psychological preparation obviously did not reach this level, and he began to be in a daze again after the mystery was revealed.
After a while, it wasn't until someone came out of the players' tunnel one after another that he asked weakly, "Pu, Pu Wei?" ”
The smug look on Wang Dan's face became more and more obvious, a pair of apricot eyes blinked a few times, and his voice was tactful, "Xiao Nizi is an admirer of your boss, I can't watch her fall deeper and deeper!" ”
Zhang Xiaorui suddenly looked stunned, nodded with a smile, "Yes, there is no shortage of admirers wherever the boss goes, this trip to women's football will probably cause a lot of peach blossoms, right?" ”
"Not really!" Wang * Dan made a fuss, his apricot eyes widened, "The famous merry seed, don't pay attention...... Peach blossoms are coming in minutes! ”
Zhang Xiaorui smirked for a while, and suddenly looked a little lonely, "Actually, the boss has met many excellent girls along the way, and there must be times when he faces temptation." But I don't think he'll open his arms to anyone else except a few of you. ”
These words sounded very useful, but Wang * Dan shook his head disappreciatively, "Then you can't relax your vigilance, feelings are one thing, and seduction is another." Everyone thinks that they are determined enough, and they only realize that they are just laymen when they really come to the end! ”
Zhang Xiaorui sighed, his eyes far away.
"Yes, I originally thought that the simpler the love, the better, but now I find that blindly pursuing simple love is itself a manifestation of immaturity."
"Who's to say it isn't."
