Chapter 1,079, the End of an Era!

At three o'clock that afternoon, the Manchester United team had just completed the indoor tactical analysis. This kind of work is usually done by Scholes. His understanding of the game is also world-class, so every time he conducts tactical analysis , the players all benefited a lot from Scholes' comments.

This tactical analysis course used the Champions League quarter-final match between Bayern and Manchester City. Scholes conducted a targeted analysis of Real Madrid's tactics, especially Bayern's tactical play and its successful restraint against Manchester City. , all explained in detail.

After the analysis, the players leave the video analysis room and return to the training ground. After a fifteen-minute break, they will conduct set-piece training.

Scholes was about to turn off the TV, but Kim Tiger stopped him: "Paul, don't turn off the TV yet. It's almost three o'clock now, and I'm just in time to watch Wenger's press conference. Anyway, the players are also resting, so let's take a break too." "

Scholes was a little confused, why was Kim Tiger so interested in Wenger's press conference?

Phelan looked like I know it and proudly said to Scholes: "Don't forget, we are about to face the FA Cup semi-finals with Arsenal. Tiger must be planning to take a look in advance. What measures does Wenger have?"

Scholes still didn't understand: "Wenger's press conference this time was because he and Monaco were drawn as opponents in the Europa League semi-finals. It has nothing to do with the domestic competition? What can be seen from this."

At this time, Jin Taige shook his head: "This press conference is not ordinary, and it has nothing to do with Monaco."

With memories from later generations, Kim Tae-ge knew exactly what was going to happen.

Scholes and Phelan were dubious, and both sat down to watch the press conference together.

Today is April 20, 2018. At the press conference, Wenger arrived on time. As usual, he was sitting in the middle, and sitting next to him was Kroenke, Arsenal's largest shareholder. There were many reporters in the audience, and it seemed that Wenger's influence was still top-notch.

The press conference started on time. This time no one else spoke, and there were no clichés. Wenger took the microphone and spoke slowly.

"On September 30, 1996, I joined Arsenal Club and it has been 22 years. When I joined Arsenal, I had imagined a bright future, but I was a conservative person. I really I never thought that I could lead Arsenal to win so many championships and so many victories. We once created an era of artistic football, and many world-class stars came out of the Arsenal team. These years are the most precious in my life. wealth."

Hearing Wenger's words, the reporters in the audience were a little stunned.

What's happening here? Why did Wenger say these words?

The reporters looked at each other in shock. At this time, they all had a premonition in their hearts - maybe something big was going to happen!

As reporters who have been reporting on the front lines of football for many years, they know very well that when a head coach says this, it may mean that something is going to happen...

Wenger paused for a moment, without moving his lips, and finally said those words that were difficult to say.

"After careful consideration and discussions with the club, I feel the time has come to leave the club at the end of this season."

"I have been privileged to serve the club for so many years and I have coached this team with total commitment and integrity. I would like to thank everyone, the players, the board and the fans who make this club special. I hope The fans can stand behind the team and support them to reach the top, so that everyone who loves Arsenal can pay attention to the value of this team. My love and support will always be there."

When Wenger finished these words, Kroenke took the microphone: "This is one of the most difficult moments in our history in sports. Wenger is a coach of a very high level. Everyone who loves Arsenal and everyone who loves Arsenal Everyone in football should respect him. He changed the definition of Arsenal and English football through his understanding of football. We hope that Arsenal fans around the world can give one of the greatest figures in Arsenal history his due. Praise!"

These words of Kroenke,

Almost everyone didn't hear it. At this moment, whether it was Arsenal fans or others, their eyes were all focused on Wenger's face.

The 68-year-old Wenger was sitting there, his face still showing elegance and peace, almost everything happening in front of him was normal. He is still the same professor, but we are no longer the same professor.

Such a passage suddenly appeared in Jin Taige's mind, and he instantly remembered many things in the past.

He recalled the high-spirited young smiling face when he first arrived at Arsenal.

He thought of that magical season when Arsene Wenger led Arsenal to a league unbeaten season.

He recalled those years when Manchester United and Arsenal competed alternately for the title, and Wenger and Ferguson competed to shine in the British arena.

He remembered that because of his presence, a whirlwind of artistic football had spread throughout England.

Looking back many years later, it was truly a magical era.

Since then, Arsenal has gradually gone downhill.

There is no money to buy people but the captain is sold every year, the belt is tightened in order to build a new stadium, the curse that starts to collapse in February, and the title of "Four Madness" that has been teased by netizens for a long time...

Perhaps everyone had anticipated this day, but when it arrived, it was still unprepared and depressing.

Arsenal has produced many well-known figures, Henry, Pires, Cesc Fabregas, Van Persie...these names are all well-known figures in international football, and they are all Wenger's favorites.

But when we mention Arsenal, the first thing many people think of is Wenger.

Wenger is Arsenal and Arsenal is Wenger.

When Sir Alex Ferguson retired, everyone believed that Wenger would follow in Ferguson's footsteps and end up in England and become a legend.

But I didn't expect that 22 years of Arsenal time would finally come to an end.

Just like a couple about to break up, both parties feel extremely sad and heartbroken.

Wenger's departure is not just a breakup between him and Arsenal, but a painful parting between him and all Arsenal fans, all Premier League fans, and even all people who love football.

By next season, there will be no professor on the Arsenal coaching bench. Will the Gunners still be the same Gunners?

If you and I meet again after so many years, how will we face it? With tears, with silence...

Jin Taige stood up, reached out and turned off the TV, and the room fell into silence. He looked out the window, where the clouds were overcast, and there seemed to be signs of a storm coming.

Jin Taige sighed softly and said slowly: "Wenger is gone, an era is over..."
