It's activated, take a break from your eyes, it's good to listen to the book!

"Does all training bases for Premier League teams have to be deliberately built in such a remote place?"

When the car turned into Bell Road, Chinese journalist Chen Jun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked curiously a reporter from a well-known British newspaper sitting beside him. []

Bell Road is not a big road. On the contrary, it is just a small road that can only allow one car to pass easily, and two cars will appear crowded when sermon. If placed in China, such roads may not be available in village communities, and it is too crowded.

"Relax, you know, this is the countryside, and there is no need to be so wide, because there are very few cars in and out," the reporter of the British Telegraph said with a smile, "And, usually at this time, more people go in and less people come out."

With the somewhat old-fashioned British man, with the brow-raising movements of a funny actor, Chen Jun saw some cars following him in the rearview mirror, and it seemed that he was preparing to go to the Kearney training base in Arsenal.

It’s not that Chen Jun is smart, but because when entering from this intersection, there is only Arsenal’s Kearney training base.

Fortunately, the crowded path was not long and I soon arrived at the gate of Kearney training base.

Strictly speaking, there is no gate, and there is the Kern training base. At the sight of it is the greenhouse of the white indoor training ground in Kern. This is an indoor training ground specially designed for the first team to use on rainy and snowy days. It is a standard size. The training ground uses a shed building. There are some figures and photos of players and coaches printed on the walls around it.

Anyone who is familiar with Arsenal can easily meet the names of familiar stars from these patterns.

At 9 a.m., the press conference started, but Chen Jun and the others came a little early because he wanted to report more about this training base in Arsenal, which he believed would attract the attention of domestic fans.

With Ye Qiu's transfer from the Eredivisie to the Premier League this season, and two or three Chinese players have played in the Premier League, the influence and attention of the Premier League in China this year has increased. Moreover, Ye Qiu's Chelsea's performance this season is amazing, and it can be said to be on par with Arsenal, which has led many domestic fans to follow this London team.

Chen Jun is in England most of the time now, and with the end of the season approaching, Ye Qiu's Chelsea performed amazingly on both the Premier League and the Champions League. If he can win one of the championships, he will become the number one person in Chinese football, especially Sun Jihai, who is also popular among many fans in this team.

Therefore, the TV station will produce a special program to report on Ye Qiu and Chelsea, and it is inevitable that it will report on their opponents.

Because he had an appointment before, Chen Jun sent his press card to the guard and was released directly and entered the Kearney training base. Then, like all the reporters who came here, he picked up his camera and took photos, recording everything he saw everywhere.

He has been to many training bases, Manchester United's Carrington, Manchester City next door, Chelsea's Harrington, Liverpool and Everton's training bases. He has been to all of them. He feels that it seems that all the training bases of Premier League teams are using a path to cover up.

There are no signs at intersections like Real Madrid's training base, nor signs for guidance. If you don't have an acquaintance, don't expect to be able to touch this place.

The current Kearney training base has only one double-storey training building and a long and double-storey administrative building. However, there is also a double-storey building with building scaffolding at the entrance of the greenhouse, which is obviously about to be completed. It is a future news building, specially used for reporters to interview players and various press conferences.

The training building is large in area and has a very clever design. It can be divided into two parts in total. The front is an arc design similar to the top of the restricted area arc. One large and one small are interlocking, irregular and look very interesting. The back is a rectangular building, which is nothing special. The training building of the first team and the youth team is the same.

Oh, there is a small lake opposite the training building. I heard that it is not artificial, but it has it in the past. This is very similar to Chelsea’s new base. However, Chelsea is an artificial lake, which is relatively large, and has good facilities and environment. Arsenal is more pure and natural.

"Hey, you can't go in again." Just as Chen Jun was about to walk to the back of the training building to take a look, someone got off the upstairs and shouted loudly.

Chen Jun was shocked and looked at it. It was Arsenal head coach Wenger.

"You are from China, aren't you?" Wenger walked over, his expression looked serious, but his tone showed no sign of anger. "Didn't the guard tell you just now that your authority is just here?"

"Sorry, I don't know," Chen Jun said apologetically.

Wenger obviously didn't plan to pursue the matter, so he waved his hand, "I'm going to play in the Champions League tomorrow. We are very worried that you are here to help him spy on military information, so I'm sorry, I can't let you watch our players' training."

Chen Jun didn't expect that Wenger would have a little humor, which made the atmosphere relax.

"I'm sorry, you know, he and I are really good friends, but I have my profession."

"I'm sorry" Wenger smiled and apologized, which made Chen Jun feel that the French are actually easy to get along with.

"Can you ask you a few questions?" Chen Jun asked boldly.

Wenger looked at the time on the watch and nodded, "5 minutes"

"Ok" Chen Jun quickly took out the recorder, "I believe that all Chinese fans who care about the Premier League want to know, how do you feel about Ye Qiu? You know, our football has always been weak, which makes us seriously lack confidence. Therefore, in our country, many people think that he has been exaggerated."

"Why is this statement?" Wenger shook his head, "He won the Champions League and is already the most outstanding head coach in Europe. There are only two people in the Premier League, one is Ferguson and the other is him. I will be the next one." At the end, Wenger himself laughed.

"Although as an opponent, I don't like Ye Qiu, because he is indeed the strongest competitor we have won the Premier League and the Champions League this season. No one will like his opponent, especially when this opponent is seriously threatening you, right?"

After a pause, Wenger said, "But I think no one can deny his achievements in the past few years. I don't think he has been exaggerated. On the contrary, his role has been weakened a lot by the media, especially at Chelsea. Many people just see Chelsea, where stars are gathered, but they don't notice that Ye Qiu has a huge role in integrating the team and arranging skills and tactics. Without him, Chelsea would be a mess."

"I think even Ye Qiu wouldn't have thought you would give him such a high evaluation," Chen Jun said with a smile.

"I'm talking about the facts," Wenger said with a faint smile, "Actually, you have all been deceived by some remarks. You know, as a head coach, you often need to use some words to stimulate the team and opponents. I think this is for granted, but no matter what, from the perspective of professional coaches, Ye Qiu is undoubtedly very successful."

Chen Jun smiled and thanked, "I think there are still many fans who want to know that you, Sir Ferguson and Ye Qiu, are you good friends?"

"No, no, no," Wenger shook his head vigorously, "I have fought with Ferguson for so many years, and everyone is used to it. I believe he has never regarded me as a friend, and so is me. As for Ye Qiu, we are neighbors, but his relationship with my daughter is more harmonious than mine. My daughter is only 7 years old and has a very good relationship with Ye Qiu's wife."

"The media has reported this, and many people mistakenly think that you and Ye Qiu have a close relationship," Chen Jun said with a smile.

“That was a coincidence and a misunderstanding”

Seeing Wenger paying attention to his watch, Chen Jun knew that the time was almost over. "The last question, Mr. Wenger, I believe everyone will pay great attention to Arsenal's schedule for the next period of time. After playing Chelsea, they will have to play two more games with Manchester United, and then Chelsea. It can be said to be a devilish schedule. What do you think personally? Do you have confidence?"

"I believe that everyone who is concerned about the Premier League knows that Manchester United has declined a lot this season, but it is still a headache team, especially when playing against us, but the players and I know very clearly how to beat them."

"The Champions League game is always difficult, especially in this two-round knockout match. The first thing you need to have is strong defense, because successful defense can bring confidence to the team, and the opponent's loopholes will be exposed in front of our defense. I think this is the most practical tactic to deal with Chelsea."

"Chelsea is a very troublesome team. They are not only good at defense, but also good at offense. They always adopt a high-intensity pressure xing style, and they can always create a lot of opportunities, but there is always a lot of room in their backcourt, which is our offensive opportunity."

"So, no matter what, we will definitely win in these two rounds of games."

Finally, Wenger asked Chen Jun to take a confident photo for him and joked that he must put it on the cover.

At the press conference that followed, Wenger solemnly announced the team's injury situation.

Previous media reports that Reyes was injured in a shovel during training, Wenger confirmed that the Spanish rookie will be absent for 3 weeks; the recovery of Lungberg's finger fracture is not ideal, and it will take at least another one more week to rest; Ashley Cole's injury will take more than a week, Gilberto Silva has physical problems and has been absent from training for two days and may not be able to catch up with this game.

"I feel very sorry for this, but these players will still be on the roster because I need to watch their recovery further and if allowed, I will arrange for them to come on as a substitute because we need them very much."

Wenger felt that the problem was not big about the team's wounded players after they were absent.

The left-back has Crish, Gilberto Silva, and many other players in the team can play, and the same is true on the right. Reyes is more of a substitute this season, and Borgkamp should continue to start with Henry.

Wenger unswervingly expressed that he would definitely win his opponent with confidence in defeating Chelsea at Highbury Stadium

Unlike Wenger who chose to hold a press conference the morning before the game, Ye Qiu's press conference was scheduled after the first training class in the morning, and it was held at the Harrington Training Base at 30 o'clock on time.

At this time, Ye Qiu had already received news from Kearney, and knew that Wenger listed the four major players absent due to injuries. The injuries of these four players were not unexpected. They were injured before, but they were not able to recover in time.

"Everyone knows that Wenger is a very cunning opponent. I won't fully trust his words, but I also know that no matter whether these four players come back in time, the impact on us will not be too great, because we will definitely beat our opponents away. Not only me, but my players also have such confidence.

Ye Qiu didn't care much about whether it was a smoke bomb, because he always believed in one thing, that is, being yourself is more important than anything else, because if you blindly study and restrain your opponents, you will only make yourself mess in the end.

A truly excellent head coach is not just about playing targeted tactics, but rather, on the basis of being able to exert one's own strength, restrain the opponent's shortcomings and play his own strengths. This is a master.

"Arsenal this season is indeed one of the best teams in Europe, and it is full of glory on all fronts. For this season, I believe Wenger has been planning it for at least four years, or even longer, but unfortunately, they met us in advance, and we are more thirsty and ambitious than them."

"I think it will be very difficult for Arsenal's devilish schedule in the next period of time, because Manchester United can no longer make a difference in the Premier League. The FA Cup is Ferguson's only hope and he will not give up. In the league, Manchester United also needs a victory to defeat his mortal enemy to restore his morale

"But I don't think Arsenal is in crisis. They are a very powerful team, but they need a break."

"Mr. Ye Qiu" a local reporter from England stood up, "Many people say that Arsenal and Chelsea are the best and most balanced teams in today's football. There are no too obvious loopholes, no too obvious weaknesses, and so far they have maintained an unbeaten record."

"Wenger said that this game is the most important game for Arsenal so far this season. He and his players are going to work hard for the triple crown and are full of hope for it. What do you think?"

Arsenal is currently maintaining competitiveness in the Premier League, the Champions League and the FA Cup. It is not an exaggeration to say that the triple-championship champion is, but the opponent of the FA Cup is Manchester United, and currently lags behind Chelsea in the Premier League. He met Chelsea in the Champions League quarter-finals knockout stage. It can be said that there are wolves in front and tigers behind, and the situation is in a bad state.

"I have always said that there is no perfect team in this world. Any team will have loopholes and shortcomings. Chelsea is the case and Arsenal is the case. My players and I know very clearly that it is difficult to find the loopholes in Arsenal. It is also difficult for the opponent to find our loopholes. However, whoever finds it first will be able to defeat the opponent."

"So, my players and I have very strong confidence and determination. We will put huge pressure on Arsenal to expose their own loopholes, and even if they don't have loopholes, we will do our best to create loopholes for them."

"Perhaps, Arsenal has performed well in the past six months, but I believe that this game tomorrow night will be the beginning of Arsenal's defeat this season, and we have no doubt that we will defeat our opponents."

Ye Qiu's words were immediately welcomed by all the reporters and media present. They all rushed towards Ye Qiu like bees pounced on honey, and kept asking Ye Qiu about various questions, but Ye Qiu was in the attitude of saying good things only once, and did not continue to say anything more.

In such an important game, any sentence before the game may cause the players' mentality to fluctuate, so Ye Qiu has always adopted a very careful strategy to deal with the pre-match press conference.

Psychological warfare has always been a double-edged sword, which may hurt others, but may also hurt oneself.

The tit-for-tat of Chelsea and Arsenal's head coaches at the pre-match press conference immediately attracted hot speculation and attention from all media and fans across Europe, especially for these two teams that have remained unbeaten so far this season. Who will defeat their opponents in this showdown is full of suspense.

Interestingly, whether it is William Hill or a must-win, almost all bookmakers have obvious odds for this game, and Chelsea and Arsenal have a half chance of winning and losing, of which nearly 50 fans chose to draw.

In the past season, Chelsea and Arsenal played two games, but both ended up being tied. Many people also speculated that this game would be a draw, and even a two-round knockout match may be a draw, and finally relying on away goals or penalty kicks to decide the outcome.

However, one thing is recognized by everyone, that is, no matter who advances to the next round, the promotion will be the biggest favorite to win the Champions League this season, because they are the two teams with the best form in the European arena in the past season, and they are also the two strongest teams.

According to the current situation, after reaching the semi-finals, it will be difficult for Real Madrid and Monaco to advance to the finals, no matter who advances, it will be difficult for these two teams to reach the finals. Once they reach the finals, they may not let go of the championship in front of them so easily.

Therefore, this game is also known as the Champions League final held in advance

But just when everyone thought that Wenger would continue to use practical defensive counterattack tactics, and even continued to defend at the Highbury Stadium to block Chelsea's offense and oppression, they did not expect that the French head coach surprised everyone.
