Chapter 134: Arsenal in Action

Wenger looked aggressive, and the team was also strong. They had eliminated AC Milan and Fenerbahce before, and the overall strength was superior. Coach Wenger is an excellent tactical master. There seems to be no reason for Arsenal not to go further.

But unlike the previous two knockout rounds, this time, people unanimously expressed that they are more optimistic about Fiorentina, and Arsenal's away trip will obviously not be smooth.

This point can be seen from the gloomy face of the team captain when he walked out of the safe passage. Gallas is a well-known poet on the football field. An interview with The Sun revealed a lot of disharmony within the team. For example, after the North London Derby was tied 4:4 by Tottenham, Van Persie and Walcott almost fought in the locker room. For example, there is a player in the team who is a black sheep, and several teammates have complained about this person to him.

When the "Sun" asked who the player was, Gallas almost gave the answer: "I reminded this person in the game, but he insulted him in turn. He is very young, 6 years younger than me. "

When Gallas said this, the "Sun" immediately pointed the finger at Van Persie, Sagna and Eb, only these three Arsenal players were 25 years old.

Other young players at Arsenal have also been criticized by Gallas.

"They get big salaries when they're very young and then they don't want to make progress. And the young players at Manchester United have to wait for years to be like them, so the young players at Manchester United always win something."

This vent caused Gallas a lot of trouble. Wenger held a team meeting and passed the following punishment for Gallas: a one-match ban, which of course only applies to the Premier League.

At the same time, there is news that Gallas is likely to be deprived of the captain's armband by Wenger, and the new captain is very likely to be young Spanish teenager Cesc Fabregas.

Banning matches is a small matter, but depriving the captain of the armband is a big deal.

For Gallas, this time Wenger had obviously reached the point where he couldn't bear it, and he was cruel. Teammates rarely sympathize with Gallas. For a long time, there have been objections to the Frenchman wearing the captain's armband in the locker room. Many people complained in private that Gallas' character is weak, sensitive, lacks leadership qualities, and is not good at cohesive team.

Public opinion is even bolder to assert that Gallas' days at Arsenal are coming to an end.

Big Mouth Gallas made Arsenal's more ??

There have been a series of changes in the Arsenal squad following the resignation of the club's vice-chairman David Dein. Whether the coach Arsene Wenger, who has a good personal relationship with the vice chairman, can continue to coach the Gunners has become the focus of media attention. Although the Arsenal executives immediately launched an offensive on the professor's contract renewal, the professor Wenger said that he can only guarantee that he will coach according to the contract in 2008. , which is the end of the season.

Arsenal's vice-chairman Dane has served the Arsenal club for more than 20 years. He can be said to be the key figure for this North London club to become a world-class giant. During the Christmas period, he announced his resignation because of a dispute with the club over whether to sell the team, which also caused huge turmoil within the Gunners.

Wenger forged a deep friendship with Dane during his tenure at Arsenal. With the strong support of the vice-chairman, the Frenchman restored Arsenal to its former glory. But now with the departure of his friend, whether Wenger's Gunners career can continue has become uncertain. Although the club has always hoped that the professor can renew his contract as soon as possible, Wenger just reiterated that he will fulfill the contract and continue to coach Arsenal until the end. The contract ended in 2008.

Wenger also said in an interview before: "I have nothing to comment on the media's speculation. I can only say that my contract will not expire until 2008. During this period, I will still be the head coach of Arsenal. I will As always, try my best for the team. If Dane hadn't resigned, people wouldn't be so interested in my contract. Now I don't want to talk about whether I will stay or not. I need to take care of the feelings of the fans. I Still full of affection for Arsenal, now I only think about the rest of the season and the development of the team."

Although he stated that he would continue to stay in the team, Wenger still regretted Dane's departure. According to him: "We have lost a person who is elegant, full of wisdom, and has made unlimited contributions to the club. This is our great achievement." loss."

The locker room is not peaceful, and the head coach has lost his mind. This season has been eventful for Arsenal. In the league, they withdrew from the championship competition early. Even now, when the season is drawing to a close, they are still only ranked In fifth place, there is a five-point gap from rivals Tottenham in the same city. It is still doubtful whether they can qualify for the Champions League next season.

For Wenger, the Champions League has become his last chance, not to continue his Gunners coaching career, but to leave something for the team he has put so much effort into even if he leaves.

On the training ground, tomorrow is the day of the game. Arsenal are making final preparations. Wenger standing on the sidelines looks a little serious. He is completely the same as when he was interviewed by reporters at the airport yesterday. Feiyang is worried today.

Who will be the next captain of the team, the whole team is concerned about this matter!

Everyone can see that this time, Wenger does not intend to pamper Gallas anymore, but no one will object to depriving Gallas of the captain's armband. Speaking of which, there are really not many who like that French big mouth in Arsenal .

Toure, Fabregas, Clichy!

These three players are valued by Wenger, and he intends to let them take over the captain's armband.

But who should he choose, Wenger is hesitant. If it is purely from the perspective of playing time, Kolo Toure is obviously the best candidate, but the loose character in the bones of African players makes Enger hesitate. .

Clichy is Wenger's French fellow, and has always been a die-hard supporter of Wenger. If he serves as the captain, he will definitely help Wenger manage the team more effectively, but Clichy, like Gallas, both Is a big mouth, and a good relationship with Gala.

Then only Cesc Fabregas is left, but he has just turned 20 years old. Is it really good to give this burden to this young Spaniard?

Thinking of this, Wenger hesitated again, put his hand into his pocket, and tightened his grip on the captain's armband!

"Cesc! Come here!"
