"Coach Arthur, the opponents in this round of the league are relatively weak. Will you still play against Blackburn with all substitutes like in the FA Cup?"
"Coach Arthur, who are the starters for this game?"
"Coach Arthur, have you decided to prepare for Manchester United with all your strength?"
"Excuse me, will Thierry and Xiao play in this game?"
"Coach Arthur, Xiao's running distance reached 18,000 in the game against Real Madrid. Is there anything wrong with his body?"
"Coach Arthur, please..."......................
When Wenger arrived at the press conference at Highbury, he was immediately surrounded by a large group of reporters asking about his start against Blackburn at the weekend.
In a few days, there will be a strong League Cup match against Manchester United, so the outside world is curious about what kind of lineup Arsenal will play in the weekend league. This way, the starting lineup for the League Cup match against Manchester United in midweek can be roughly released.
Wenger still had a straight face as always and said: "There are no weak teams in the Premier League, so this game will not be that simple. As for my starting list, I always decide based on the status of the players, and I also
I won’t give up on this weekend’s league.”
"Who is in better shape as coach Arthur recently?" a reporter from The Sun immediately asked.
"Well, Theo is good. He has a chance to start. Others are not sure yet."
Of course Wenger knew what they wanted to know, but he only said Walcott and nothing else.
At Old Trafford, Ferguson was also asked similar questions. Sir Alex was also half-hiding, and the two old foxes faced each other again.
All the media are waiting for the start of the weekend league, waiting for the match list of Arsenal and Manchester United. The encounter in the League Cup final is the second time that the two former Premier League hegemons will meet in the final after the 2005 FA Cup final.
The entire British media started to hype Arsenal as soon as they returned to London.
At this time, Mourinho's words in an interview with The Times made everyone feel that this guy is as cunning as the two of them.
"I am very aware of the strength of these two teams. They are strong and suitable opponents, so I am very much looking forward to the arrival of the League Cup in mid-week. As for the weekend game, I think everyone should not pay too much attention, because the result will make you
Somewhat disappointed, I can even predict, Arthur and Alex treated this round like a warm-up match.
Although they are about to face their respective league opponents, they are all thinking about each other now. Therefore, I think they did not take this round of games to heart. Everyone is destined to be disappointed. This is an unspectacular round.
In the league, both sides will play very boringly."
Mourinho stated firmly to the media.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Wenger and Ferguson quit and immediately came out to refute the rumors. At the same time, they said that there are no weak teams in the Premier League and they will not give up the competition for the league. They will try their best to win. The team's focus is still
In the league, there is no doubt about it!!
However, the two head coaches almost vowed that they would try their best to win the league, but the players were not strong enough. First, news emerged that Ljungberg had a calf strain, then Thierry's back muscles tightened, and it seemed that Cesc Fabregas' ankle also had some problems.
Small problem.
As for Manchester United, Rooney immediately said that he needed to rest. He was still young and the high-intensity competition made him tired. A close friend of Ronaldo said that he had not been to a nightclub for a long time and it seemed that he could not hold on.
, and Giggs said that he had to go back to Wales for some work.
Suddenly, the situation suddenly changed, and only two stubborn old coaches were left standing there, shouting loudly and trying their best to win.
As the outside world speculated on what lineup Wenger and Ferguson would play, Arsenal also embarked on the journey to Ewood Park.
Blackburn was considered a powerhouse in the early days of the Premier League. They even won the championship in the 1994-95 season, beating Manchester United and Newcastle to dominate the Premier League. However, with the reduction of their own investment, the lack of stars, and the lack of strength
The coach maintained that Blackburn gradually declined and became a team fighting for relegation.
However, Blackburn are in good shape this year. Under the leadership of young coach Mark Hughes, they are playing very well, beating Newcastle, Everton and other mid-table teams, ranking sixth in the league, and have a good chance of entering the European League.
cup.
"Papa papa pa"... "Welcome, our heroes of England!" "Arthur! Give us your autograph!" "Thierry, come here and become our king!" "Xiao, I am willing to marry.
Here you go, come here!!”…
When the team arrived at Ewood Park, there were not the provocative calls and slogans as imagined, but endless applause, various welcome slogans, and even someone wooing Xiao Ge.
, obviously, Arsenal taking away a victory at the Bernabeu has a huge impact on British fans.
When Xiao Ge got out of the car and saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until a female fan wearing a Blackburn jersey rushed in front of him and excitedly asked for his autograph that he realized that he was indeed in the away game. He came to his senses and smiled.
His teammates signed autographs for these fans, then waved and entered the stadium.
Wenger asked the Pat players to adapt to the warm-up, and also announced the Arsenal starting lineup: goalkeeper Lehmann; Ebou, Jiuruo, Senderos, Bell; Walcott, Diaby, Pires, Xiao
Song; Adebayor and Bergkamp.
On the bench were Hleb, Fabregas, Flamini and others. Wenger's arrangement was basically telling the media about his tactical arrangements for Manchester United.
Wenger wanted to send some suspicious soldiers. Unfortunately, in the game against Real Madrid, although Arsenal won, the restrictions on the playing style made the players particularly tired. Except for Xiao Ge, the monster, the rest had some problems.
Regarding muscle problems, Wenger did not dare to take risks, and even felt that it was not worth the risk.
"Oh, Arthur is really crazy. All four players introduced in the winter played, but why is Xiao on the court? In the game against Real Madrid, Xiao ran the longest distance, close to 19,000. He is fine.
"?" The Sky commentator looked at Wenger's formation in disbelief.
"Hoo ho ho" "Beat them!" "Sorry, Arsenal, my team is Blackburn!" "Get rid of these brats!" "Peterson! We support you!!" "Mark! Take us in
Come to Europe!!”........................
"Damn, that's not what they were like just now." Walcott said angrily when he saw the fans at the scene constantly provoking his team.
"Haha, look away, they did that just now because they recognized us before, but now we are their enemies, do you understand?" Xiao Ge patted Walcott on the shoulder and explained, with a look of familiarity.
He looked very calm.
"Robert, wasn't this what you explained to Xiao just now?"
"Well, it seems that Xiao has also realized it, and his shameless cultivation has taken a further step."
"I'm just telling you, how could Xiao say such philosophical words?" "Xiao, it's leaked." "Xiao, he's blushing, he's blushing." "Hahahahaha."...
.
Xiao Ge fell down from the mountain in an instant and was trampled on by someone.
The stadium, which can accommodate nearly 40,000 people, has been filled with enthusiastic fans. Like other teams, as soon as they entered the stadium, they did not say anything and directly used various slogans to express their support for their team.
At the same time, he also warned the away team: This is our territory. The rest will be discussed off the court.
"Hooray, dear audience friends, welcome to follow our team to Ewood Park Stadium. Oh, that's Gareth, Theo, haha, you will see some unfamiliar faces today, it doesn't matter, we
Let’s get into the game together and see how they perform, as well as our king of heavy artillery—Xiao!!!!!!!”
With Senk's roar, the 27th round of the Premier League match between Blackburn Rovers and Arsenal officially began.
Today Wenger still uses the traditional 4-4-2 formation, and Mark Hughes also uses the same formation, Friedel; Neil, Todd, Nelson, Gray; Reid, Tuguet, Savage, Peter
Sen; Pengler, Bellamy.
On the Manchester United side, against West Ham United, known as the Hammer, they also hid Ruud van Nistelrooy, Giggs, Rooney, Fletcher and others. When everyone saw the starting lineups of the two teams
, they all cursed my mother with hatred: It’s so shameless!!
