As the match between Arsenal and Liverpool is getting closer, the media has started to hype the shooter competition between Van Persie and Chen Yingxiong. But this time it didn't work.

Because Van Persie is no longer the Van Persie who scored 36 goals in a single season. His good form and health have only lasted for two seasons. This season he has been tortured by injuries and has not had many opportunities to play. So far, he has only played eight games in 15 league rounds and scored three goals. He is no longer a shooter of the same level as Chen Yingxiong.

If Wenger had followed his previous temper, Van Persie, who was 30 years old, should have been sold after the season when he scored 36 goals. Because he could still afford the price at that time. If it really doesn't work, he should have sold it this summer. This is the last chance.

But Wenger doesn't do that now.

Since October 1996, he has coached Arsenal for 17 years. During these 17 years, he is famous for training talented young players, and he always seems to be at odds with the old players.

There are not many old players who have a good end under him. As long as most players are over 30, Wenger starts to think about how to sell them for a good price. The contract renewal is one year at a time - this is completely insulting.

Many people have criticized Wenger for this approach, which is inhumane and also the reason why Arsenal has long lacked championships. Because he no longer has old players of sufficient level, they are all a group of young kids. What big scene do you expect these scouts to deal with? Without the leadership of experienced veterans, a group of young people may be able to win a few big wins if they play well. If they don't, they may fall to the bottom. All the problems of young people are exposed in the Arsenal team. It has to be said that this is caused by Wenger's team building strategy.

This seems to have formed a vicious circle - without veterans, all young people, you can't win the championship. Without a championship, not to mention veterans, even promising young players can't be retained. Former captain Fabregas returned to Barcelona, ​​where he made his debut, for the championship. Players such as Nasri also abandoned Arsenal for the championship and went to other teams that could win the championship. Talent loss has made Arsenal's strength worse year by year. Until now, it has not won a championship...

These blows seem to have touched Wenger a little.

He has enough confidence and patience for Van Persie.

In this season when Van Persie was frequently injured, he even broke his usual habit and took the lead in offering a new contract with relatively generous treatment. If Van Persie signs this contract, it means that he will retire from this team!

This was hard to imagine before...

Van Persie has changed from a handsome young man to a veteran, and Wenger seems to have changed...

※※※

In the early years, Van Persie really thought about leaving Arsenal because he couldn't win the championship. But when he was seriously injured at the age of 30 and suffered minor injuries after his comeback, he no longer thought about leaving. He felt that his career would probably end at Arsenal. His only wish now is to help Arsenal win a championship before he retires, no matter what kind of championship it is, as long as it is a championship...

He has decided to accept the new contract offered by the club.

Two years ago, he once said in the competition with Chen Yingxiong: "If this game is not good, there is still the next game, and if the next game is not good, there is still the next season."

These bold words. Now he does not mention them. He no longer regards Chen Yingxiong as his enemy, because Chen Yingxiong is the rising red sun, while he is already on the decline.

There is no comparison between the two. In the golden age of his career, he was not able to beat Chen Yingxiong, let alone now.

Abandoning the competitive spirit with Chen Yingxiong. He is now more focused on helping the newcomers in the team and passing on his experience and technology.

This is why he only scored five goals. In fact, it is not that his shooting skills have really declined, and his goal rate has also declined. It's just that he has retreated from a simple shooter to a second line and has become an organizer. In Wenger's tactics, he is more of a passer than a scorer.

His position and role have changed several times during his time at Arsenal, from wing to center. From shadow striker to center forward, from center forward to front midfielder, each change witnessed a piece of Arsenal's history.

But in today's game, he has to pick up the long spear that has not been used for many years, put on armor, ride on a warhorse, and go to the front to charge... kill the enemy!

Before this game, Wenger found Van Persie and told him his idea. In this game, he wants to put Van Persie back on the front line and be a center forward.

Let Van Persie entangle with Liverpool's tall defenders, and use Van Persie's flexibility and technology to find the side of Skrtel and Agger

This task is very important. Wenger suddenly felt a little worried about handing it over to those young guys...

He was worried about the veterans and the young players, and everything that happened to him at Arsenal also affected the famous coach.

Van Persie had no opinion on the head coach's arrangement, and he agreed to everything.

At the same time, a heroic spirit rekindled in his heart.

After competing with Chen Yingxiong throughout the season, I no longer have the energy. But at least, I can compete with you in this game, Chen Yingxiong!

Martin O'Neill really didn't expect that Wenger would push Robin Van Persie, who was already playing as an attacking midfielder, back to the front line, and as the center forward at the front!

This was really beyond his expectation.

At the beginning of this season, Van Persie withdrew from the center position and became an organizational midfielder. Wenger made full use of his skills, experience, and awareness to drive the young guys around him. Therefore, Van Persie doesn't shoot many shots and scores few goals now, but his number of passes has increased and his number of assists has also increased, and the effect is still good.

Arsenal's main forward this season is Ryo Miyaichi, a 20-year-old youngster from Japan. He was loaned to Bolton Wanderers for the previous two seasons and only returned to his home team this season. Because of his outstanding performance during the loan period, he was able to become the main player this season. Displacing the poor German striker Bodolski.

Ryo Miyaichi was once known as "Japan's Cristiano Ronaldo" for his speed, technique, and body. Together with Takashi Usami, Takumi Miyayoshi and others, he is also known as the "Platinum Generation of Japanese Football".

As Arsenal's main forward, he has scored ten goals this season and is the team's top scorer.

But in this game, Miyaichi Ryo was placed on the wing, leaving the center to veteran Robin van Persie.

Originally, Martin O'Neill's research, intelligence and defensive tactics in the penalty area were all aimed at Ryo Miyaichi. Unexpectedly, he was suddenly replaced by Robin van Persie, which caught him off guard.

Not only was he caught off guard, but so was the entire Liverpool team.

At the end of last season, Van Persie suffered a serious injury and only returned from injury before this season. However, he has been suffering from minor injuries since then and has been unable to play systematically. The game state is intermittent. Liverpool's players all felt that Van Persie was finished. He had been injured frequently before, but he had not been injured for two years. Unexpectedly, knowledge came back to him.

So no one regarded Van Persie as a threat. However, Miyaichi Ryo and Theo Walcott are more of a headache for the Liverpool players...

Who would have thought that Van Persie would be the closest person to them in this game!

Arsenal took advantage of Liverpool's unpreparedness and scored a goal in the first nine minutes.

The person who scored the goal was none other than Robin Van Persie!

"The ball is there! Van Persie! He easily broke through Agger's defense and then shot with his left foot! Beautiful! The ball only hit the far corner!!" Zhang Jun, a famous commentator in China, shouted. "With this goal, Arsenal took the lead over Liverpool in less than ten minutes of the game! Before, everyone thought that Arsenal had little chance of beating Liverpool at home. Now it seems that everyone has guessed wrong! The thirty-year-old Van Persie is classified as a "veteran", but it is this veteran who gives Liverpool a fatal blow! Only General Fan!"

※※※

From the surprised and disbelieving eyes of those Liverpool players, Van Persie saw the disdain and contempt buried deep in their hearts.

He knew that in the eyes of these people, he could only play as an attacking midfielder, getting further and further away from the goal. His scoring ability is definitely not as good as before.

So they didn't expect to defend their own shot at all...

This aroused the remaining unruliness in Van Persie's heart - I can say that he is also the player with the most goals in Arsenal's Premier League in a single season! Do you just look down on me like that?

Okay, let's see!

※※※

Chen Yingxiong frowned when he saw Van Persie running to celebrate his goal with his teammates.

I even looked down on him before the game. After all, he has only scored three goals this season and his name cannot be found on the scorer list. Chen Yingxiong no longer regards Van Persie as his opponent, and he doesn't think Van Persie can still threaten him.

But he found that he had overlooked a problem.

Even if Van Persie does not threaten himself in the entire season, it is entirely possible that he can threaten himself in one game!

He doesn't need to beat himself throughout the season to get the top scorer. He just needs to beat himself and Liverpool in this one game. Then he would have lost to Van Persie! Because the competition between two people sometimes does not look at each other's goal data...

Therefore, Chen Yingxiong frowned when he discovered this problem.

Although he is no longer a powerful figure on the scorer list, his power is still there...

I really shouldn't look down on you, I'm sorry.

Who dares to stand upright? I am the only one, General Fan!

Good, good, great!

Such an opponent is really good! ! .
