At the press conference after the game, the coaches of the two teams did not have any heated exchanges of words.
Wenger said: "We lost the FA Cup, and there is nothing we can do about it. Next, we will focus on the league and the Champions League, and we will step up our pursuit of these two honors."
Ferguson did not refute, but said: "The FA Cup consumes too much of our energy. Arsenal rotates a lot, so it is normal for them to lose."
Wenger is convinced? Definitely not.
It’s not like Ferguson thought Wenger was good, so he was merciful.
Because of the current situation, the two teams had no time to be distracted. The two of them had a blast at the post-match press conference. They were happy, but the overwhelming news would definitely affect the players' state.
When the time comes, reporters will be frantically chasing players to dig out some news, which will seriously affect the team's preparations.
This is something a mature head coach won't do.
Manchester United has not been eliminated in the Champions League. Both teams have similar schedules with almost no rest time.
Just two days after the FA Cup, Arsenal needs to face Bayern Munich at home.
That is, after a day of rest, there is no training time at all.
Manchester United's game is one day after Arsenal, which means they have one more day to prepare.
At this point, having an extra 24 hours of rest is very important for Manchester United.
On April 15, Arsenal welcomed Bayern Munich at home.
During training, the players' faces showed visible fatigue.
This fatigue comes from the inside out.
Arsenal players will be more tired due to the tight schedule of the Premier League. The FA Cup replays have made the schedule even tighter, so everyone is even more tired.
It burst out all at once.
Lin Supo had no impact.
But seeing the state of his teammates, he couldn't help but feel worried.
Who makes Arsenal have only one lineup that can compete for the championship.
During the Carabao Cup rotation, the media will take the lead in criticizing Arsenal and Wenger. Fans are not allowed to give up on the FA Cup. Everyone wants the Premier League and Champions League.
Therefore, even if there is rotation, Wenger will not rotate on a large scale, resulting in the main players basically playing about 40 games.
As for the opponent Bayern Munich, because the Bundesliga schedule is not very tight and there are not many competitors, the physical condition is much better than that of Arsenal.
"Today was a tough test for Arsenal."
"Yes, Arsenal have played four games in the last nine days and they are indeed very tired, but Petit's return from injury today is a very good thing for them and can bring some confidence and confidence to Arsenal.
A morale boost.”
"Yes, for Bayern, Link is absent due to injury, and Hermann is also injured, so Bayern cannot be said to be in its strongest form now, but Arsenal can come up with the best lineup to face Bayern."
"Arsenal's starting goalkeeper today is still Seaman, with Tony Adams, Martin Keown, Nigel Winterburn, and Lee Dixon lined up on the back line, and midfielders Vieira and Petty.
Specially, Lin Supo is the lone forward, and behind Lin Supo is Guti, with Overmars on the left and Bergkamp on the right.”
"Wenger's lineup is always changing. Arsenal once again played 4231. Although the frontcourt staff has not changed, Guti's position is always changing. Guti also said this when he was interviewed by reporters before.
The thing is, he likes to play in the middle, but he accepts the coach's arrangements."
"Haha, this is high emotional intelligence. I have already reflected my thoughts and then expressed my attitude. I want to play in the middle, but I will play how the coach arranges me. After hearing this, Wenger will also consider placing him as much as possible.
In the middle, that's not the case today, so players still need some skills when asking for positions with the coach. Some players are not satisfied and directly tell reporters that the coach is not good, and even criticize their teammates. This will not be harmful to themselves.
If there is any help to the situation, it will also affect the harmony of the team."
"Speaking of this, I have to talk about Matthäus, who was in Bayern's starting lineup today. The relationship between him and his teammates at Bayern Munich is not very good."
"Okay, let's take a look at Bayern's starting lineup. The goalkeeper is Kahn, Babel is left back, Matthaus stands in the middle, and Samuel Kufuor stands on the right. Today Bayern used a 343 tactic, with the midfielder
On the side, Tanat, Jeremys, Effenberg and Thomas Strenz are lined up. These are two wing-backs and two central midfielders. Salihamidzic is on the left side of the forward line.
, Jankel in the center, Sauer on the right, Bayern’s starting lineup is basically the main force of the national team, and can be said to be the main framework of the German team.”
At 7:45 in the evening, referee Nelson blew the whistle to start the game.
Arsenal were not impatient at all when organizing their attack.
After sending all the way back.
Nadixon dribbled the ball from the right and cooperated with Bergkamp in the frontcourt to continuously advance from the right.
Bayern's 343 midfield defense is very tight.
When they arrived at the front court, they were already surrounded.
Bergkamp turned around and made a pass to the middle. Lin Supo turned his back to Matthäus to catch the ball, and immediately passed the ball back.
Guti followed up and quickly passed the ball behind the back line. Lin Supo turned around and rushed into the penalty area.
Guti's pass was a little too big, and Kahn snatched the ball out of the air before Lin Supo could.
"Oh, it's just a little bit worse. This time Guti passed the ball really well, and Lin Supo's running position didn't have any problems."
Lin Supo gave Guti a thumbs up.
Encourage Guti.
An unsuccessful attack will not affect anything at all. But if you have a bad mentality and dare not use your imagination to pass the ball, the impact will be very big.
Kahn kicked off the ball in the backcourt and Lin Supo rushed forward to press. Babel did not dare to take the ball too much and rushed forward to find Tanat. Tanat passed the ball forward immediately. Salihamidzic immediately got the ball.
Just hit inside the penalty area.
Tony Adams quickly stretched his feet and successfully intercepted the pass.
After Adams got the ball, he was hit by Salihamidzic. He quickly knocked the ball across the goal. Martin Keown did not dare to play with fire at the back line and immediately kicked the ball to the frontcourt.
Lin Supo and Bergkamp rushed towards the ball together, with several Bayern players around them.
After Lin Supo spotted the landing point, he rushed forward and used the inertia to leap high. He shook his head and headed the ball to the left rear. Tony Adams came up to catch the ball and passed it to Vieira's feet.
Vieira took the ball forward himself.
"After the start of today, both sides' offensive rhythm was very fast."
"Yes, the main reason is that Arsenal's tempo was fast after the start today, so the overall tempo of the game was fast. Lin Supo's pressing did not give others time to react. Arsenal's opponents usually passed the ball very quickly and kept passing the ball.
The ball is passed, which increases the speed of passing without even realizing it.”
"Arsenal organized an attack again, and Pettit also came up to the frontcourt. Vieira was forced to pass back. Pettit immediately broke through the midfield after taking the ball."
Effenberg is also a ruthless person.
This guy even stole his teammate's wife.
Pettit and Effenberg met on a narrow road, and neither of them had any intention of giving in. They rushed forward and faced each other head-on.
Pettit deliberately slanted his body when dribbling the ball, just to squeeze past quickly.
Effenberg also saw Pettit's plan, so when he made the first press, there was still room at his feet. This was a duel between two top players.
When Pettit wanted to rush forward again, Effenberg took action.
Effenberg extended his foot half a beat too late. Pettit had already passed the ball to the left, and Effenberg's foot just passed over and kicked Pettit's ankle.
Pettit was in pain and couldn't stand still, and fell to the front court.
The referee looked at Overmars holding the ball and did not call it.
Now it is advantageous to attack.
Kufuor wanted to rush forward and press. This black mixed-race player has good speed, but Overmars has a lower center of gravity than him and is more flexible.
The Dutch winger stepped out of the angle after spiking the ball twice in succession from the left, and immediately made a cross.
Bang--
Lin Supo and Matthaus rushed into the penalty area almost at the same time.
When Matthäus went inside, he hit Lin Supo on the ribs with his hand movements.
Lin Supo endured the pain and continued running, but he was still half a body behind.
In the competition in the penalty area, half a body position can determine who can successfully take off and fight for the top.
Of course that's for the average player.
Lin Supo is not an ordinary person.
His shooting skills are flawed, but his body has been trained to the extreme.
Seeing that he was lagging behind Matthäus, Lin Supo slowed down slightly, then took two steps with an explosion, directly stepped up with his right foot, and took the lead in the air with an action similar to a triple jump.
Kahn stared at the front of the penalty area with wide eyes.
Matthäus didn't know what happened yet, but when he looked back at Kahn, his eyes widened.
Because Lin Supo's take-off height was very exaggerated, Lin Supo's knees had almost reached Mateus' shoulders.
The two main players of the German national team raised their heads and looked up at Lin Supo in the sky like a god descending to earth.
I saw that Lin Supo was taller than the ball, and the flying height of the ball only reached Lin Supo's waist.
It is impossible to form a shot like this.
Just when the ball was about to fly in front of Lin Supo, Lin Supo exerted force on his waist and abdomen in the air, jumped forward, and hit the ball with his chest.
Bang--
This is very powerful.
The ball went straight up and down, hitting Matthäus on the shoulder.
snap,
Another change of direction made Kahn very desperate.
Because the ball flew to the upper left corner, and he pounced on the lower left corner.
Swish,
The ball penetrated into the net, and the sound of rotation and friction made the world silent.
boom--
The Dream Theater erupted into thunderous shouts, and Arsenal fans began to sing the striker's song.
"Super Lin, super Lin, super Lin who can score goals, super Lin, super Lin, super Lin who can score goals..."
Although there is only one sentence in the lyrics, it is not perfunctory. Premier League fans are good at this, or they lack creativity. For example, those Manchester City fans in the previous life simply made up the lyrics and just sang "Yaya, Yaya"
Yaya, Yaya Toure...".
Lin Supo at least has an additional attribute of "super capable of scoring goals".
In this regard, his treatment is much better than that of Yaya Toure.
Wenger had already rushed to the sidelines and cheered enthusiastically. The French coach never thought that there would be a chance to score such a goal, but Lin Supo gave him a surprise.
Even Wenger, who pays more attention to his own image, can hardly control himself.
Commentators around the world were shocked and finally began to vent their emotions.
"Goal scored!"
"The ball is in!"
"Lin Supo, Lin Supo scored a goal shortly after the start."
"Because Matthäus didn't make any moves, this is not an own goal."
"Lin Supo's take-off height is too high and his body strength is too strong. Someone has said before that he can also perform well in other sports. This is really true. Lin Supo's physical condition is almost perfect."
"He's just a natural athlete!"
The TEPCO commentator in this book burst into tears and said: "Lin, this Asian man risked his life on his dignity and finally created a miracle..."
Heathfield looked at the field with a pained face.
He didn't even realize how the opponent's forward scored the goal.
Why the hell can people jump so high?
The away game itself was not easy to play because of the fans. Now they fell behind not long after the start. What should they do?
Heathfield thought for a moment before starting the game, and decided not to change the tactics on the field for the time being.
Otherwise, it is easy to cause confusion among players.
Another point is that I couldn’t understand a few words given on the sidelines temporarily.
Matthäus waved his hands at Kahn, indicating that this was not his problem.
Kahn punched himself hard in the head.
He thought he hadn't woken up yet, but the other party was flying so high.
What kind of abnormal body can have such strong jumping and explosive power?
The Bayern players were all frightened.
After all, everyone is a player, they can jump for the top, and they all know how high the average person can jump, but this time Lin Supo directly kneed Matthaus's shoulder, and his body seemed to be over the crossbar.
Is it really possible for people on earth to jump to such a height?
When they returned to the center circle and waited for kick-off, they still had complicated expressions.
Bayern restarts.
He didn't immediately organize an attack and sent it all the way to the wing. Salihamidzic, the "angel wing", didn't dribble the ball through the midfield at the first time.
Instead, he chose to wait for Arsenal players to come forward.
Lin Supo rushed up the left wing and Salihamidzic turned around and passed back. Tanat still passed back after receiving the ball. Matthäus took the ball in front of the penalty area and kicked it wide.
Right road.
Sauer on the right is a Turkish-German player. You can see his origin from his name, Memet Sauer. Sauer's skills are very good. When the ball comes to him, he can easily stop it with his foot.
Sauer observed it and chose to dribble the ball forward himself.
Vieira rushed forward immediately. Sauer spiked the ball and pulled back, successfully tricking Vieira into kicking the ball. He spiked the ball with his left foot and continued to dribble the ball along the wing.
Then, before Tony Adams came up to press, Sauer had already made a pass from the right.
Seaman rushed out of the goal very decisively, punched Yankel on the head and knocked the ball out of the penalty area.
