803 The midfielder is easy to block, but Su Dong is difficult to defend!
The morning after Manchester City defeated Lech Poznan, Wenger arrived at Arsenal's Colney training ground with bloodshot eyes.
Assistant coach Pat Rice was obviously surprised when he saw him.
The grooves on the French people's faces seem to be deeper and more wrinkled, and their previous elegant temperament has been lost all over their bodies.
What's more, there is a deep anxiety that cannot be resolved.
This is normal. Head coaching is a very high-pressure profession. Over the years, Ferguson has had a pacemaker in his heart.
"Didn't you get a good rest last night?" Pat Rice and Wenger have been partners for many years and know very well Wenger's life schedule.
At first glance, the French seem to be the kind of people who are easily troubled. As long as there is something on their minds, they will easily suffer from insomnia.
In this regard, Ferguson is much better than Wenger. The old Scottish man obviously has a big heart that can be used as a quilt if the sky falls, and there is no such thing as insomnia at all.
According to Ferguson, no matter how severe the insomnia is, there is nothing that a glass of red wine cannot solve.
If there is, then two cups.
"It's not that I didn't get a good rest, it's that I didn't sleep at all." Wenger said slightly weakly.
Pat Rice had an expression like "I knew it would be like this". He walked over, poured a glass of hot boiling water for Wenger, placed it in front of Wenger, and said seriously: "No matter what, there is still more."
Pay attention to rest, you are not young."
Wenger is already sixty-one years old.
The most important thing for an elderly person at this age is sleep.
A night without sleep is like taking away half of your life.
Look at Wenger now, doesn’t he look completely wilted?
"How about I watch the training in the morning and you go inside and take a nap?" Pat Rice suggested.
Wenger shook his head, "No, the war is imminent. We must pay attention to the fact that the morale of the military cannot be shaken."
The current situation in the Premier League is very interesting. After nine rounds of games, Manchester City has an unbeaten record of nine games, eight wins and one draw, ranking first in the Premier League with 25 points, followed by Chelsea with 22 points.
The leads of both teams are very obvious.
After that, Manchester United and Arsenal both scored 17 points, a full eight points behind Manchester City, which topped the list.
In other words, if Arsenal cannot defeat Manchester City in this weekend's game, Blue Moon is likely to continue to lead, and even if the Gunners defeat Manchester City, Chelsea will still be cheaper.
Ancelotti's team has performed too strongly this season. If Su Dong had not led Manchester City to attack Chelsea, it is estimated that this team would still maintain an unbeaten record.
As for Su Dong's Manchester City, it is both reasonable and unexpected.
In fact, as early as last season, the circle of Premier League head coaches was very interested in Manchester City under the coaching of Guardiola. This team has subverted the outside world's understanding of the Premier League, especially the passing and controlling style of play, which is very
Be unique.
But on the other hand, Manchester City's offense was very weak, and Santa Cruz simply couldn't afford to be the backbone of Manchester City's offense.
Therefore, when Su Dong joined Manchester City this summer, the response from the English coaching circle was very strong. Most people believed that Manchester City was likely to rise strongly this season.
But no one thought that Manchester City's rise would come so quickly.
Even not giving the opponent any chance at all.
Guardiola is still the Guardiola of last season, but after Su Dong joined, Manchester City is no longer the same Manchester City as last season.
Eight rounds of league games, fifteen goals and eight assists. Su Dong's goals in the previous eight rounds are as many as the entire Chelsea team combined. What is this concept?
This means that he almost single-handedly scored most of Manchester City's goals.
This is due to Guardiola's tactics, but it is also a reflection of Su Dong's personal ability.
Without Su Dong's super personal ability, Manchester City wouldn't be able to score so many goals and would just be like last season.
But Su Dong has shouldered a burden that Santa Cruz cannot bear!
What's even more terrible is that he scored a hat trick against Lech Poznan in midweek.
David Silva was elected as the best player of the game. Although he performed well, he is the midfielder and Su Dong is the center.
The midfielder is easy to block, but Su Dong is difficult to defend!
…
"Last night, I thought about it all night long."
After Wenger took a sip of hot water, he felt a little more energetic, but he still looked old.
"Have you figured out a solution?" Pat Rice asked with concern.
Wenger shook his head helplessly, "I kept deducing various situations in my mind, but in the end I encountered the same deadlock, that is, what should we use to defend Su Dong?"
This is not only Wenger's dilemma, but also a world-class problem.
Almost all teams in the world will struggle with this problem before encountering Su Dong.
And over the years, no team has ever truly frozen Su Dong.
This is the most despairing thing!
Su Dong is even more terrifying than Drogba, at least Drogba's shooting is very bad.
"Zhu Lu competed with Su Dong and did not take advantage. Squillac also played with Su Dong before and did not take advantage." Pat Rice also felt very helpless. "Both central defenders are
I played against Su Dong and was able to contain him."
"Yes!" Wenger sighed with mixed feelings, "If we let two central defenders defend Sudong, what will happen to the defense? Manchester City's passing and controlling style of play will completely tear apart our defense.
into pieces."
Pat Rice nodded helplessly, this is also a problem when encountering the team Su Dong plays for.
Should Su Dong be treated specially?
With Su Dong's personal ability, neither defensive player may be able to stop him. If someone is specially arranged to guard him, it will inevitably affect the team's overall defensive order. But if someone is not specially arranged to defend Su Dong,
And opportunities can always be created.
In fact, not only Su Dong, but also Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
It's just that in comparison, Su Dong poses a greater threat and has a stronger scoring ability.
"By the way, has the referee come out?" Wenger asked.
"Mark Clattenburg."
"It's him!" Wenger's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, "If I remember correctly, he was the one who officiated when we played Manchester City away from home last season, right?"
"Yes." Pat Rice nodded, "We won that game."
Clattenburg's most famous game was undoubtedly the Merseyside Derby in 2007. In that game, he sent off two players from Everton at home and gave Liverpool two penalty kicks, which caused a lot of controversy.
Due to the controversy, he was banned from Everton for seven years. So far, he has not whistled for an Everton game again.
It is precisely because of such a glorious resume that Clattenberg's law enforcement is always accompanied by controversy.
There is a saying among outside fans that there are three musketeers in the Premier League refereeing world: Cardinal Mark Clattenburg, North London sniper Mike Dean, and the condemned Atkinson.
As you can guess from their nicknames, these three international Premier League referees are known for their misjudgments and misjudgments. They have all made major mistakes and are remembered by fans and media. Among them, Clattenburg is called the Red Jacket.
Bishop, it's because of the red card.
It is precisely because the Three Musketeers officiate the Premier League that many media and fans believe that the low level of Premier League referees has become the biggest obstacle restricting the development of the Premier League.
Many people are looking forward to it: when the seven dragon balls are collected, the Premier League will be able to summon the dragon and dominate the world of football!
Wenger still doesn't know whether Clattenburg's coming to officiate this game will be good or bad for Arsenal.
I always feel like it’s not a good thing!

…………
As the Champions League and Europa League games come to an end, the media and fans have begun to gradually shift their attention to the Premier League.
The next ninth round of the Premier League will usher in a focus game, with Manchester City facing Arsenal at home.
This will definitely be a big showdown!
It is also a collision and contest between two teams with the most technical playing styles in the Premier League.
However, before this powerful dialogue, Manchester United came out first to grab the headlines.
The British Sun published a photo of Ferguson putting his arm around Rooney's shoulders, both of them smiling from ear to ear, telling everyone that Rooney had successfully renewed his contract with Manchester United.
This immediately triggered a fierce response from the English football community.
Manchester United's official website soon gave the news, confirmed the rumors from the outside world, and announced the successful renewal of Rooney's contract.
Although Manchester United officials did not disclose specific contract details to the outside world, the pervasive media quickly dug up various insider information, including Rooney's salary after the contract extension.
Before the contract extension, Rooney's weekly salary was 90,000 pounds, but after the contract extension, his weekly salary increased to 250,000 pounds.
Without much negotiating leverage, Manchester United chose to accept the demands put forward by Rooney and his agent.
250,000 pounds, equivalent to an annual salary of 13 million pounds, which makes Rooney far surpass Cristiano Ronaldo, who has an annual salary of 13 million euros, and become the second-largest player in world football second only to Sudong.
The second highest salary.
This makes Rooney very happy because he has always been eager to prove that he is better than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Although he failed to prove this on the court, Rooney is very happy and excited that he can now beat the Portuguese in terms of annual salary.
As for Su Dong, Rooney would definitely not dare to think about it.
Although the outside world has not received any detailed figures on Su Dong's annual salary so far, clues reveal that Su Dong's annual salary will never be less than 30 million pounds, and that is after tax.
In other words, after Rooney renews his contract, he will not be able to catch up with Su Dong even if he beats several horses to death.
However, being able to renew Rooney's contract is a big worry for Manchester United.
Rooney and his agent also opened everyone's eyes. They really relied on the contract, momentum and operation to force Manchester United to submit, and finally got what they wanted and got this sky-high contract.
After renewing his contract, Rooney also changed the subject and began to show his loyalty to Manchester United.
He promised that he had gotten over the turmoil in the past period and had been forgiven by Colin at home, which allowed him to focus more on the game. He hoped to lead Manchester United to counterattack in the standings.
"We are all confident that we can win the Premier League title this season!"
“We’ve always been good at coming back from behind!”
