Chapter 1,134 What Manchester United Needs Is a Championship
Gao Xiaodong dominated the Premier League and won crazy praise from European fans. However, in China, many compatriot fans criticized Gao Xiaodong for being unpatriotic.
Now the Chinese team is facing the important task of reaching the World Cup finals. The team has just been formed and the coach has just been appointed. Some Chinese fans believe that at this time, Gao Xiaodong should take the initiative to give up playing in the league and come back to participate in the team's training.
Some of these fans are extreme patriots, some simply don't like Gao Xiaodong, and some are fans of superstars such as Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who want to blackmail Gao Xiaodong out of jealousy.
At first Gao Xiaodong didn't care. He felt that after all, he was a minority and he was not money. Everyone loved him. But later Xiao Le discovered that these black men were like mad dogs and went to all the forums to attack Gao Xiaodong. The influence is getting worse and worse, and even a portal website said that Gao Xiaodong should give up the league and come back to participate in the training of the national team in order to sensationalize.
The bad influence has gone beyond the football circle, and other non-fans don't know that this statement is completely unreasonable. If these scumbags are allowed to talk nonsense, non-fans will think that Gao Xiaodong is really unpatriotic.
Being unpatriotic is a big stain in both the East and the West and will affect Gao Xiaodong's image and commercial value, so Mendes quickly organized a press conference to ask Gao Xiaodong to explain this.
Gao Xiaodong first told the fans that his decision not to participate in the training camp was agreed by the Football Association and head coach Camacho, and it was not his own will.
Then Gao Xiaodong explained Manchester United's current predicament and the strength of the Chinese team's first opponent, Singapore. He told the fans that if Manchester United has a strong force and its first opponent is not Singapore, but a strong team like Iraq and Jordan, he may Will come back early to participate in the team's training camp.
Finally, Gao Xiaodong warned a certain domestic portal website not to talk nonsense, to be well-founded, and not to sensationalize for the sake of traffic.
The Chinese Football Association and Camacho are now in the same boat as Gao Xiaodong. After Gao Xiaodong came forward to explain, Chinese Football Association Chairman Wei Ge and Chinese national team coach Camacho also came out to issue statements to the outside world. Gao Xiaodong came forward to explain. Xiaodong has always been eager to play for his country. He did not come to the training camp this time, mainly because Manchester United was too injured, and the Chinese team's opponent, Singapore, was too weak. Gao Xiaodong could win without having to do much running-in with his teammates. In short, it is the decision of the national team coaching staff to use competition as a substitute for training, and Gao Xiaodong cannot be allowed to take the blame.
Gao Xiaodong's statement and the defense of the Chinese Football Association and Camacho quickly changed the atmosphere of public opinion in China. Gao Xiaodong's gangsters did not dare to continue to dwell on the topic of patriotism. They could only lurk and wait for Gao Xiaodong to make a mistake. Jump out and attack again.
In fact, Gao Xiaodong didn't have much time to pay attention to the opinions and thoughts of domestic fans. After holding a press conference to explain, he quickly shifted his energy to the weekend's focus battle with Arsenal.
Arsenal is in very bad form this season. They drew one and lost one in the first two games. They were tied by Newcastle United and defeated by Liverpool. This made Arsenal fans very sad.
In fact, Arsenal fans did not have high expectations for Arsenal's results this season. Although Arsenal has always been stingy in the transfer market, they only spent less money. But this season, the professor not only did not buy anyone, but also Having sold captain Cesc Fabregas and absolute mainstay Nasri, it is strange that such a lineup can achieve good results.
In the third round, Arsenal will open an away game against Manchester United, which has won two consecutive games. Although Manchester United is full of injured soldiers, Arsenal is even worse. Five players, including Wilshere, Gibbs and Bendtner, have been injured due to injuries. Injured and unable to play. Song, Gervinho and Frimpong are suspended and absent.
Arsenal has eight main players unable to play, and with Fabregas and Nasri leaving one after another, Arsenal has almost lost a team. They want to win at Old Trafford with such a broken team. I'm afraid it's even more difficult than climbing to the sky.
Now Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool are strong and strong, and their top four positions are unbreakable. Upstart Manchester City is gaining momentum and is aiming straight for the championship. I'm afraid it won't be easy for Arsenal to get a Champions League spot this season.
For this game with Manchester United, Arsenal fans' goals are not high. A point at Old Trafford is a victory. Some pessimistic fans and reporters even think that a small loss is an acceptable result.
Although the outside world is not optimistic about Arsenal winning the game, the Arsenal general must not weaken his morale in the current war. Before the game, Wenger encouraged the players and fans and said that Arsenal did not have no chance of winning. Arsenal Although Na has a lot of injuries, Manchester United also has injuries, and Manchester United's injuries are mainly in the defense. Manchester United can only win if they attack, and Arsenal is the best offensive team in the Premier League.
As for the impact of the departure of Cesc Fabregas and Nasri, Wenger said that forceful melons are not sweet. Since they want to leave, there is no point in forcing them to stay. Last season, Cesc Fabregas suffered many injuries and only played in one game. After 30 games, Arsenal have adapted to playing without Cesc Fabregas.
Regarding having one more Champions League qualifying match than Manchester United in midweek, Wenger also said that it will not have much impact because Arsenal's players are young and recover relatively quickly.
In the end, Wenger said that this will be a battle of attacking football. Arsenal is at a disadvantage, but it does not have no chance of winning.
After Fabregas left, Arsenal's top player is now Dutch star Robin van Persie. Regarding this game with Manchester United, Van Persie said that Arsenal is in a very difficult situation. It has not had such a bad start since the Premier League. The following is the match with Manchester United. This game is very crucial and Arsenal must not lose. If they lose again, Arsenal's championship dream this season may almost end early.
In addition to encouraging his teammates to defeat Manchester United, Van Persie also hopes that the team will increase its signings instead of just buying young players with potential. Van Persie believes that if they want to win the championship, they must increase their signings.
Although judging from the first two rounds of this season and transfers, Arsenal has fallen and is not worthy of being Manchester United's enemy, but Manchester United head coach Ferguson does not dare to be careless. He knows the ability of his old rival Wenger. If If Manchester United is careless and underestimates the enemy, the possibility of Manchester United capsize at home is not small.
Before the game, Ferguson played his best psychological game with Wenger. When a reporter asked Ferguson what he would do if Manchester United did not win any championship in 6 years? Ferguson answered bluntly: "I will not let my team go without a championship for 6 years!"
Wenger must have felt uncomfortable hearing this. However, Ferguson then deliberately smoothed things over, "Maybe what Arsenal needs is to make money, and what we at Manchester United need is a championship. I won't think about it now. Arsenal has their way, and I have mine. You just have to follow your own rules." Just do your best.”
