It was dazzling, and seemed to bring with it the relaxation and comfort of the locker room. As soon as Xiao Ge stepped into the news room, he was surrounded by countless cameras and cameras, without giving him any chance to adapt. There is no doubt that this is Xiao Ge or something like this
Reporter focus within focus.
But it's not time to interview him yet, the big names always appear at the end. In the eyes of these reporters, losers will not be pitied, and Benitez was forced to question him like a wave of questions.
"Rafael, let's talk about this game. Why did you replace Hamann and Kronkamp so late when the score was two goals behind?"
"Because we need to ensure the final physical advantage, we have to put them at the end. As for being two goals behind, because we encountered unimaginable opponents, coupled with Alonso's cramp, we will lose the first one at that time.
Three goals. Before that, everything was going smoothly, but Xiao changed my script."
"In this game, Liverpool were completely behind. If it weren't for the mental support they had, Liverpool would have been defeated long ago. Don't you think there is something wrong with your tactics? Are your tactics too simple and just holding on?
Your tactics only make the game more exciting and do not help Liverpool win, and they leave Liverpool with only one option to defend Xiao. After Xiao’s foul on Stephen, Liverpool’s defense always had problems.”
"This game was not easy to play from the beginning. I think it is the same in your comments. Facing Arsenal, I don't think we will have much advantage. The only thing that can be determined before the game is that we must go all out."
Play this game well. There is no problem with our tactics. I don't think it is single. We use our own tactics to seek victory, targeting all aspects of Arsenal, and it is very effective. But one person changed everything at the last moment.
I'm proud of our players, they executed well, they pushed the game to the end, and if it weren't for some factors, we could have had a better result."
"Why do you want to tire them out so much that winning games and the World Cup are not considered?"
"World Cup? I think they have to play a final first. This is the reality, and once you enter the game, you can't avoid anything deliberately. This is against Arsenal, against Xiao, can you tell me there is something better than this?
A stronger opponent? Even though we lost in this game, it is honorable. We are worthy of respect. We, including the fans, cannot choose anything else."
"What do you think of Weber's penalty on Xiao?"
"It was a bad moment, Stephen was indeed affected a lot, and we had to focus more on defense. But the game is for eleven people, and we can't blame the loss entirely on it. As for Webber, I don't want to talk too much, there is a lot
Sometimes I can only passively accept it.”
"What did you think of the last goal?"
"It can never be replicated again. I have to admit that it was a beautiful goal. I was amazed by its distance, arc, power. And the moment when it came. It is difficult to imagine that in a game like that. At that moment, there are still players who can
To score this goal, my team was very, very unlucky and met a player who changed history. My team may not lose, but this is football."
To rub salt into the wound, after suppressing the accusation, Benitez's wound was opened again. Even though he always felt that his team was good, the bitter feeling of unwillingness was always there.
"In the end, Weber gave Xiao 23 seconds to complete the winning goal. Will you appeal to the FA?"
"As for the issue of time, I have already negotiated with the fourth official, and I will also study the video. I can't give definite information now, but I have to face reality and don't have high hopes."
Once that goal was scored, Benitez knew that it was irreversible. However, at this time, he also had to consider the emotions of the Liverpool fans. In his mind, the desperate and crying faces of the Liverpool fans were really hurtful.
...
"Liverpool is in fourth place this season and is lagging behind across the board. Your magic is gone. What will you do? Sign in or resign?"
"Sorry the season is over and I don't want to talk about it."
As a loser in the eyes of the media, Benitez must definitely bear a lot of responsibility. After ten minutes of all kinds of sharp questions, they were almost in the position of coach Benitez, as if they were watching a show.
, Benitez was forced to respond coldly and ended his interview directly.
Fortunately, Benítez was not the main protagonist, so although various issues were blamed, he was quickly let go.
"Stephen, after Xiao's foul, your actions were greatly affected. Do you think this is a turning point in the game?"
"The node? Haha, the node of the game is at the end when Xiao scored that goal and we failed to win. This is the node of the game. As for the rest, I don't think it matters because the game is over."
"A magical equalizer, but was defeated at the last moment. Do you have any regrets?"
"This may be the most regrettable game in my life. I don't know the future, but now I feel it is, but Xiao is too strong. I have to face reality."
"Let's talk about that goal."
"I have never encountered such a goal. I can only say that it is unbelievable. At that moment, Xiao was too powerful. You can't choose to fight. You can only pray for God's arrangement. I can't say anything about this goal. I think at that moment I have already
I know it’s irreversible.”
Gerald could still feel the power in Xiao Ge's eyes when he hit the ball. The powerful force was like the majesty of a lion king, awe-inspiring and overwhelming, and the feeling of powerlessness and surrender was indescribable.
"How is your injury? When you came off the field, you were helped off by your teammates. Will it affect your preparation?"
"There shouldn't be any big problem. The team doctor has determined it. It's just too tired and a little swollen. But I will go to the hospital to check again. The World Cup is my next goal. I don't want to repeat this process again. I hope everything will be fine."
smoothly."
...
Gerrard didn't look very depressed. After regaining his composure, he ended all the reporters' disputes about the game with just a few words.
After Gerrard satisfied their final curiosity, the reporters did not criticize him too much. After all, Gerrard is the pride of England and is deeply loved by everyone in the country, including these reporters.
Gerrard's performance in this game was enough to shut up all doubts. Although he failed at the last moment, in his personal career, this was also a game full of his personal colors. Xiao Ge and Gerrard were destined to
It will become the footnote of everything in this game, but Gerrard is a little more tragic, which makes people feel sorry for him, but football does not only belong to the winner, especially the locals.
"Coach Wenger. Talk about the performance of Arsenal and Liverpool in this game."
Although the old man is very cunning, these reporters are willing to get involved in dealing with this old fox, of course. It is different when there are too many failures. Now, the winner enjoys all the glory and is sought after.
"This is the most difficult game Arsenal has played this season. We encountered the toughest resistance. Only Xiao's goal at the last moment helped us. Liverpool has a very good team and they will make many people
I feel terrible. If the game is longer, everything will be difficult to say. My players will have no physical strength at the end. They are really an admirable team."
As a winner, Wenger will naturally not be stingy with some complimentary words, and Liverpool's performance is worthy of his praise.
"They conceded two goals at the last moment. Is there a problem with Arsenal's defense? I saw that you frowned many times during the game. You were very dissatisfied with the process of the game."
"Well, the second goal conceded was because we exhausted too much physical energy and allowed the opponent to seize the space. Weber's penalty was also the key, while the third goal conceded was due to Stephen's personal ability, which was related to the decrease in our defensive intensity.
, but like Xiao’s goal, you can’t say you can definitely defend it.
There is no problem with our defense. The main thing is that we need to adjust our physical strength. As for the game process you mentioned, on the contrary, I enjoy the game process, especially in terms of will. This team will become stronger."
Winners are sometimes more questioned, especially in the UK. These tabloid reporters have always been critical, and being different is the value of 'news'. Wenger is used to it.
"Whatever happened to Ashley during the game is no problem. Ashley has just recovered from injury and performed very well in the last game. Why would you let Flamini replace him at the beginning of the second half when his physical fitness is dominant?"
, if Ashley was on the field at the last moment, wouldn't there be greater motivation for both defense and offense, and you wasted a substitution, which led to Arsenal's final passivity."
'Sure enough, it's here.'
After Wenger removed Ashley, he already realized that no matter whether he wins or loses, he will be the focus of reporters. As expected, in the year of the World Cup, no matter which international player is the focus of reporters from all over the world, not to mention a player who has always been known for gossip.
The tabloids are afraid of the British media who show their shameless face. Ashley Cole is still England's main left back.
"Ashley has just recovered from injury and will not be able to adapt to the game quickly. He worked hard and fought very hard in the first half. You must know that in such a high-intensity confrontation, such a situation is more dangerous. During the halftime break,
His legs were a little tight, so in order to prevent him from having an accident, I had to choose to replace him. This was not an easy decision.
Of course, we were in a passive situation after that because our overall physical problems could not be solved by one person. Of course, we spent a lot of money in this game, but we still had some reservations. From this perspective, we also gained something.
.”
The explanation was given, and it meant something. At this time, Wenger did not want to provoke problems with Ashley Cole.
"Robin was injured during the game. Is it serious?"
"There shouldn't be any problem. He may be a little tired, but after winning, I think he has recovered."
Does Wenger know how happy Van Persie was in the dressing room just now?
"Did Thierry have a hidden injury?"
"This question is somewhat meaningless, unless you don't want to go to France."
He is gentle and elegant, and he is not bullied at will. He is always in physical condition and suffers from injuries. It is annoying to have too many.
"Can we talk about Xiao's goal?"
"'Meteor suddenly appearing in the dusk sky', I think this is very suitable for my feelings at that time, not only because of its long arc and amazing speed, but also because of the shock it brings to people and its appearance
meaning.
Well, no one else can score a goal of that significance in more than a hundred games, but Xiao, I believe, he can do it in every game, it depends on his thoughts, that's how I feel."
No one had more thoughts about that goal than Wenger, and he explained it quietly with a slightly reluctant aftertaste.
"After the game, the Arsenal players did not celebrate immediately. They mostly sat on the ground to rest. They were very tired. This game has exhausted your physical fitness. Will you celebrate directly when you return to London?"
Everyone was staring at Wenger. The reporter from The Sun looked at the ordinary question, but he had ulterior motives.
Wenger naturally understands this guy's intentions. The key lies in the word "physical overdraft". The Daily Star reporter is very smart, because no matter how Wenger answers the question "will he celebrate directly", once he answers, this
Exhaustion of physical energy is equivalent to acquiescence, and what is left is enough for their imagination.
These reporters are always sensitive and will not be immersed in Arsenal's victory, because many people are competing for this piece of fat, and they need something fresher and hotter.
