"Chairman Bates, you still have time to come over and watch the game today."
David Dunn is always personable every time. He wears a very straight suit and always has a charming smile on his face. His voice is neither too loud nor too soft, making people feel like they are breathing spring breeze.
It's a pity that he met Bates.
Ken Bates glanced at David Dunn but didn't say anything.
Bates and David Dunn are both influential figures in English football. They each have their own power. However, in terms of the power of the Football Association, Dunn's influence is greater. David Dunn is
A person is not only well-educated, but more importantly, he is very capable.
Very courageous.
Is Arsenal very good? Before Wenger took over, Arsenal was a strong team in England that was boasted in England. At that time, teams in England including Villa and Everton were all traditional strong teams in England.
Not much worse than Arsenal.
In the past five years since Wenger took over, although Arsenal has only had one Premier League title and one FA Cup title, Arsenal's influence has begun to spread around the world.
Arsenal began to join the ranks of European giants.
Moreover, Arsenal has now begun to build a new stadium. Once the ball is opened, Arsenal will not be much worse than those European giants.
I have to say that Dunn, Arsenal’s vice-chairman, has made a great contribution here.
"Boll's misjudgment some time ago was too amateurish. It's hard to imagine that such a referee can compete in the World Cup. Chairman Bates, please don't get angry. Although there is no hope of the league championship this time, there will be a next time."
?" David Dunn angrily defended Chelsea.
If the people around them didn't know about the relationship between the two, just by seeing David Dunn's expression, they would definitely think that the two have a very good relationship. I think that David Dunn really fought for Chelsea.
It's a pity that no one in the football world knows about their relationship. David Dunn should act in a movie. Look at his expression. He really seems to be angry, and very angry.
A sneer appeared on Bates's lips.
If someone else said this, maybe half of it is true. Even if not half, most of it is gloating, but there will also be a little bit of truth. Unfortunately, David Dunn said this is evil, and Bates knows that there is no truth in it.
One sentence is true.
Completely mocking Chelsea for losing the Premier League title.
Having been dealing with David Dunn for so long, the two of them are absolute mortal enemies.
Even if one day the English football world and the German football world and the Argentine football world come to terms with each other, there will be no day when Bates and David Dunn can shake hands and reconcile.
So Bates glanced at Dunn and said slowly: "At least we still have hope of the Premier League championship. I remember Arsenal already lost the qualification to compete for the Premier League championship as early as January."
Dunn spoke in a roundabout way.
Bates is different.
He doesn't care about the person or the situation, he just says whatever he thinks.
He didn't use any direct expletives, which was the result of him being in a good mood today.
No matter how well-mannered Dunn was, his face changed when he heard Bates' naked ridicule.
Wenger indeed gave Arsenal a big surprise. In the first season of full coaching, he brought Arsenal a long-lost Premier League championship. It was also a double crown, Premier League championship and FA Cup championship. But since that
After the season, Arsenal have not won any Premier League title so far.
At the same time, Ferguson's Manchester United were climbing steadily.
They even won the Triple Crown last season.
Arsenal are also under a lot of pressure.
But David Dunn is an old man after all. A smile soon appeared on his face again, and he said in that unhurried tone: "Haha. That's the same. The situation is really not good recently, and occasionally I can only watch
Look at the Premier League trophy from three seasons ago."
"It's okay, okay. The trophy and winning photos of the top league champion are still colorful."
After hearing what David Dunn said, some of the people who came in with him even laughed.
However, most people are used to the two of them quarreling, so they don't take it seriously. Anyway, as long as two people meet, there will never be a time when they can be friendly.
…………
Bates and Dunn mocked each other at the VIP table.
The players on both sides were already waiting on the court for the time to come and for the referee's whistle.
"The FA Cup semi-finals are about to begin. Let me first introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides. Starting with the visiting team Chelsea, the goalkeeper is Cudicini, and the defenders are Solin, Desailly, Ayala, and Panucci.
, the midfielder is Deschamps, Williams, and Lampard. The three forwards are Zola, Hasselbaink, and Eto'o."
"Compared to the UEFA Cup semi-finals two days ago, Chelsea has changed a lot. Including Desailly who returned from injury, Deschamps who rested in the last game, Zola, Panucci, and Hasselbaink have all
Everyone comes on stage.”
Before the game started, Mortensen first introduced the starting lineups of both sides.
Su Yun used all his main lineup in this game.
"Look at Arsenal again. Arsenal's starting lineup is very interesting. The goalkeeper is Seaman, the defender is Ashley Cole, Adams, Keown, Laurent, and the midfielder is Edu, Vieira, Yon.
Berry, Pires, Henry and Bergkamp up front."
"Arsenal just finished a Champions League quarter-final match three days ago. Unexpectedly, the starting lineups for the two games were exactly the same, and Wenger didn't change even one thing. This is a bit difficult to understand. Although Arsenal's
The supplementary lineup is a bit weak, but if the old players like Adams, Keown, and Bergkamp are not rested, can they maintain their physical strength? Arsenal defeated Valencia with great difficulty in the last game."
Mortensen looked at Arsenal's starting XI and raised questions.
Same as Chelsea.
Chelsea played a UEFA Cup semi-final two days ago. Arsenal had a harder time than Chelsea. Chelsea faced Kaiserslautern at home, which had begun to decline. They easily won a 4-1 victory.
Moreover, Chelsea are playing in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. There are only two games left in the UEFA Cup.
But it's different here at Arsenal.
Arsenal just broke through the Champions League group stage and only entered the Champions League quarter-finals.
Unfortunately, Wenger's Arsenal faced Valencia from La Liga. Valencia is not just a cat or a dog on the street.
In the past few seasons, Valencia has been a strong team in Europe, a team that all European teams are unwilling to meet. Even European giants such as Real Madrid, Manchester United, Juventus, and Bayern are not willing to meet Valencia prematurely.
West Asia.
Just last season, they reached the Champions League final. Unfortunately, they met the powerful Real Madrid and were defeated by Real Madrid and only finished second in the Champions League.
Wenger didn't dare to be careless at all.
In the past few seasons, Wenger's Arsenal has been ridiculed by many people as an expert in civil war and an outsider in foreign wars. This is because Arsenal's performance in the Champions League is very poor.
So Wenger has always wanted to make a breakthrough in the Champions League.
Therefore, Arsenal played with all their strength at home. However, the result was not particularly ideal. Although Arsenal played with all their strength, the effect was not as good as expected. Arsenal only won a two-to-one victory at home.
Although it was a victory, they only scored two goals and allowed Valencia to score an away goal.
It can be said that Arsenal were not satisfied with the result of the game three days ago at all. But for that game, the Arsenal players were very tired.
Wenger would certainly like to rotate if possible. But who makes the game matters.
When Su Yun was selected into Arsenal's starting lineup, he couldn't tell how happy he was. It was the same lineup, with no changes at all. Arsenal players were not iron men, so Su Yun didn't believe they could survive.
Look at Adams and Keown, they are about to be 35 years old. Bergkamp is about to be 32 years old.
With their current age and physical strength, even playing one game a week is already very difficult. If they are asked to play every three days, Su Yun doesn't know how long they can last.
Wenger wants to have his cake and eat it too, I'll leave you empty-handed.
…………
"Dududu——"
The referee's whistle kicked off this season's English FA Cup semi-finals.
"Lampard spiked the ball...shot! It was a 32-meter long shot! It missed the goal."
"Solin, cross... Eto'o, header! Seaman saved the ball!"
It's different from what people imagine.
Chelsea, who played away from home, were not conservative at all. After the game started, Chelsea turned away and played offensive football at Highbury, catching Arsenal off guard.
This was Su Yun's intention.
Chelsea and Arsenal both played a European game two or three days ago. Arsenal had a very difficult time scooping up a victory, while Chelsea scooped up a victory easily. More importantly, Su Yun fought hard for this game.
A lot of players were rotated.
But Wenger chose to continue to trust the starting players.
Su Yun doesn't believe that Arsenal players are not tired.
Su Yun wants to use a fast pace to make the five players who were exhausted three days ago feel the pressure again. Su Yun wants to exert more pressure.
Adams and Keown were already under a lot of pressure when they played against Valencia.
Valencia's tactics are very unique.
Their defensive counterattack is a headache for all European teams.
Adams and Keown were very tired under the impact of Kiri Gonzalez, Mendieta, Aimar, Sanchez and others. Although they are both the world's top central defenders, Valencia's attacking group is not either.
Very annoying.
Adams and Keown's defense was relatively successful three days ago.
But three days later, they faced another strong dialogue. Su Yun did not believe that they, who were almost 35 years old, could resist Chelsea's impact. Especially Adams and Keown are both traditional British defenders. Facing Ha
Flexible and fast forwards like Selbaink and Eto'o are inherently capable.
Su Yun wants to split Arsenal's defensive line.
There is one for Adams and Keown, one for right back Lauren, and one for Ashley Cole. Su Yun wants to completely separate Arsenal's defense. Then he will find the most lethal place to break through. Su Yun has thought about where to break in.
Adams and Keown are just early steps.
Su Yun looked at the Arsenal fans at Highbury and felt very confident. I will definitely beat Arsenal here today. Arsenal fans are bound to be disappointed today.
