"Of course I want to thank many people, I want to thank Malaga Club, but also my coach, thank you, Mr. Pellegrini, and I also want to thank my teammates from last season. This award is not just It’s mine, this is the glory we achieved together.”
Ye Luo clenched his fist, hammered his chest and said.
The scene also became quiet.
People saw the twinkling light in the corners of Ye Luo's eyes.
turn out to be.
This guy isn't just a hedgehog, either.
He also has a tender and affectionate side.
At this moment, the shining brilliance of humanity made many people stop smiling and began to applaud seriously.
amid applause.
Ye Luo came down from the podium.
What happened next had nothing to do with him.
After the award ceremony, Yelo returned to London.
However, there are ten national team match days in December.
Therefore, Ye Luo had nothing to do in the past ten days. He was just sweating it out at the training ground with Arsenal's first-team players who were not selected for the national team, as well as the players who were transferred from the youth training camp to join in the training.
And these ten days of national team matches.
It is very important for the Dragon Kingdom national team.
Because in November last year, the national team faced Iraq back-to-back in the top 40 of the 2012 World Cup Asian Qualifiers, and was defeated 1-0 at home and away.
As a result, the Dragon Kingdom national team completely lost hope of entering the top 12 of the World Preliminaries.
Therefore, within a year's time
The Dragon Kingdom national team has no official games to play.
So this year.
The national team is all playing warm-up matches.
Originally, after he was eliminated from the world preliminaries, the fans at that time called for Yello to join the national team.
Why is the voice so much smaller this year?
Because the results of the national team’s warm-up match were so good!
Starting January 22, 2012.
The national team defeated Saudi Arabia 2-0 at Changsha Helong Stadium, defeated Jordan 4-1 at Guangzhou Tianhe Stadium, and drew with world champion Spain 1-1 in Seville - this game caused a sensation among domestic fans at the time.
Even many members of the new group of horses took the opportunity to set the pace: We have already tied with the world champion, do we still need Ye Luo?
Next warm-up match.
The results of the Dragon Kingdom national team are also very good.
Defeated Vietnam 5-0, defeated Ghana 1-0, drew 0-0 with Sweden, lost 2-0 to Brazil, defeated New Zealand 2-1, and defeated Oman 1-0.
In addition to losing to Brazil and drawing with Sweden and Spain, they won the other six games.
This whole year.
The Dragon Country national team played nine games, losing one and drawing two.
Although it is said to be a warm-up match, with this result, what else do the fans want from the bike?
Therefore, the domestic calls for Ye Luo to join the national team are now much smaller.
There are even some analysts who understand the seriousness of the football emperor. Will Ye Luo's joining the team destroy the "good atmosphere" of the current national team - no way, this is the current situation of Longguo football.
Not just at the national team level.
In terms of professional leagues, youth training systems, football popularity, fan culture, football media, etc., they are all-round and systemically backward.
Not to mention the Football Association's crotch pulling.
Anyway.
In such an environment.
Being able to do good football is simply a fantasy.
So now even the Spanish national team is coveted, and Del Bosque even said that as long as Yello chooses the Spanish national team, he will build the team with him as the core in the next ten years.
There are actually Dragon Kingdom fans discussing whether a player of Ye Luo's level joining a team of Dragon Kingdom national team's level will "damage the atmosphere within the team".
And it is in this optimistic atmosphere.
The Dragon Kingdom national team has ushered in two Asian preliminaries - this is after a year, and the Dragon Kingdom national team finally does not need to play any warm-up matches or friendly matches.
It's a formal competition with real swords and guns.
Considering that the opponents in these two games are not strong: on December 12, they played away against Singapore, and on December 17, they returned home and faced Uzbekistan from Central Asia in Guangzhou.
Before the game.
Longguo Media conducted a very professional-looking analysis.
The first is the first opponent, Singapore. Although the opponent is a pretty good team in Southeast Asia, it is the same as all other Southeast Asian teams.
Height is a flaw.
Although the Dragon Kingdom national team's foot skills are not very good, they still have an advantage against Southeast Asian opponents physically - traditionally, the Dragon Kingdom national team basically hits their Southeast Asian opponents with headers.
The opponent has such an obvious weakness, even if it is on the road, it should not be a big problem.
In addition, Singapore is not a strong team, so winning this opponent is not a problem.
The next opponent is Uzbekistan.
This opponent doesn't have much physical advantage.
Uzbekistan's football was born out of the youth training system of the former Soviet Union - in fact, the Dragon Country national team also learned from the Soviet Union during the sports team era.
It focuses on confrontation and physical fitness, and is very capable of running and resisting.
Moreover, Uzbekistan is only one place behind the Dragon National Team in Asia's rankings - it is considered a close opponent.
Some media in the Dragon Kingdom took more objective factors into account in their analysis.
First of all, the Dragon Kingdom national team is playing at home, adding one point.
Secondly, the competition venue is Guangzhou, and the Uzbek team from Central Asia may not be able to adapt to the climate in Guangzhou, which adds another point.
Secondly, the national team of Dragon Kingdom has been in excellent condition this year, WinWinWinWin all the way.
It’s definitely a win this time.
After some analysis that seems reasonable and well-founded.
Most of the Dragon Kingdom media have come to a conclusion that has high expectations among Dragon Kingdom fans: the Dragon Kingdom national team is expected to win two consecutive games!
The result is such high expectations.
In the first game of the Asian preliminaries, the Dragon Kingdom national team drew 1-1 with Singapore away from home.
As soon as this result comes out.
The fans with high expectations were immediately angry.
Even Singapore can't win, so why win?
You bastard media just know how to make big news, but what’s the result? Is there something wrong?
But then came the second game.
Witnessed by tens of thousands of fans at Guangzhou Tianhe Stadium, the Dragon Country national team lost two goals in a row in the 60th and 62nd minutes of the second half, encountering a familiar black three-minute
Lost to Uzbekistan 0-2 at home.
In the previous warm-up match, he was the king of the warm-up match by killing gods and Buddhas.
It’s time for the official game.
First, they were tied by Singapore, which was so weak that they could hardly be considered a professional team, and then they lost cleanly to Uzbekistan 0-2 at home.
As soon as the Asian preliminaries started, the Dragon Kingdom national team was given a slap in the face.
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of abuse from the fans.
The sound of refunds is endless.
At the same time, the media also turned sharply from the excited "win-win" state and became extremely pessimistic.
I am beginning to doubt whether the Dragon Kingdom national team can pass the Asian preliminaries and enter the Asian Cup finals.
If the Dragon Country national team really misses the Asian Cup finals.
That was really a big joke.
Faced with the abuse from fans and the media, and under the huge pressure of public opinion.
What the Dragon Country Football Association did was to draw up a roster of forty people, basically gathering all current players who had been selected for the national team for military training! !
"We need the national football players to correct their thoughts, attitudes and fighting spirit."
Even the Chinese Super League has been suspended.
Needless to say.
There is one more amateur operation of the Dragon Country Football Association.
Because they lost the game, the national football team was gathered for military training, and even the professional league was suspended.
It's really ridiculous.
Some media also went to interview Ye Luo.
Ye Luo actually doesn't care much about the national team.
But reporters from the Dragon Kingdom, who couldn’t stand it, kept asking.
Every time we meet at the door of the training ground, reporters always have a few questions about the national team.
Regarding the topic of "military training for the national football team," Ye Luo curled his lips: "Stop the professional league and let the players go to military training. Such a decision cannot be described as crazy."
Faced with Ye Luo's unceremonious statement.
Many Dragon Kingdom reporters smiled bitterly.
Based on what he said now, if it were spread back to China, I'm afraid it would immediately cause a bloody storm - why? Because many reporters and fans in the country actually agree with the logic that "military training can make players full of fighting will to win the game."
It is the same as the long-standing menstrual topics in domestic football fans circles: "The condemned prisoners played in the World Cup and won pardons, but lost and were shot", "Women's football can replace men's football in the game" and other topics.
The fact that these problems will appear and be discussed for a long time proves the low level of the overall level of Longguo football.
foreseeable.
What Ye Luo said will definitely attract some negative fans to him.
The Super League champions will take action.
But Ye Luo didn't care either.
Because his focus is not at home now.
But in the Premier League.
After the ten days of national team matches.
The Premier League has entered a schedule known as the "Christmas Express Season".
This Christmas schedule is also called the "Devil's Christmas schedule."
usually.
Other leagues are now preparing for a holiday - the winter break.
For example, players in the Bundesliga are quite happy. They have a month-long vacation.
Players in La Liga can also enjoy a winter break of more than ten days.
But in the Premier League.
There is no winter break in the Premier League.
During the Christmas holidays, Premier League players have to work overtime.
From December 20th to January 1st.
Four games will be played in these eleven days.
Basically, there is a game every three days, and in the middle, you even have to undergo the test of playing two games within 48 hours!
This cruel schedule will definitely test the physical fitness of the players.
The first game Arsenal has to play is the sixteenth round of the Premier League.
On December 20, Arsenal faced West Bromwich Albion at home.
There is nothing much to say about this game. Arsenal regrouped and played with all their main players.
Defeated the opponent 2-0 at home.
And the next game.
It was the quarter-finals of the League Cup - Arsenal's opponent was Chelsea.
The game was played at five o'clock in the afternoon on December 23, local time.
And next is the Premier League season repertoire: the Christmas war!
Arsenal, as the favorite to win the championship, will of course play on Christmas Day, December 25th.
They face Newcastle at St James' Park at 5pm on Christmas Day.
This game is not easy to play.
St. James' Park is a famous home ground for the Devils.
And this game is only forty-eight hours away from the last League Cup game!
The players have no time to recover physically, which means Arsenal must make a choice.
Whether to rotate in the away game against Chelsea in the quarter-finals of the League Cup, or in the seventeenth round of the league in the away game against Newcastle.
Many media outlets have speculated on Arsenal's selection.
They generally think so.
Arsenal may stay in the league.
Because the League Cup is quite tasteless to be honest.
If it is the FA Cup round of 16, maybe Arsenal will consider sending a few main players.
But this is the League Cup, and at the same time, it will be a very difficult away game immediately after the League Cup.
There is great hope of winning the Premier League title this season.
Giving up the League Cup seems to be a very reasonable choice.
In fact, Wenger is also having headaches in this area.
Of course he knew that it was impossible to play two games within forty-eight hours without rotation - the players were not machines and only needed to be recharged or refueled to run.
not to mention.
Even machines need to rest.
Wenger actually prefers to keep the league and give up the League Cup.
Considering the thickness of Arsenal's lineup, this is a very reasonable choice. It is good to win the League Cup, but it doesn't matter if it is given up. It is just tasteless and a pity to abandon.
But the league is different.
Defeated Newcastle in the seventeenth round.
Arsenal have a chance to win the half-way championship of the league two rounds in advance - because the highlight of this Christmas round is not Arsenal playing Newcastle away, but the Manchester derby match between Manchester United and Manchester City at home!
As long as this game is a draw and Arsenal can beat Newcastle, they can pull the points gap over Manchester United and Manchester City to six points - Chelsea are already behind because they lost to Stoke City in the last round of the league. Seven points for Arsenal!
If the Manchester derby is tied, Arsenal will be able to benefit from it and win the half-time championship two rounds in advance.
So although Wenger was a little hesitant.
But he quickly made a choice: to send in the substitute lineup in the League Cup.
but.
What surprised him was
After today's training is over.
Ye Luo came to his office.
"Boss, I have a suggestion."
Ye Luo said.
"Please tell me." Wenger picked up the tea cup.
"I don't think I need to be rotated, I can play even one game a day!"
Cough cough cough.
Wenger couldn't help but choked on the black tea and his lungs hurt.
"What did you say?"
He frowned and looked at Ye Luo.
Tactical arrangements have always been the head coach's business.
Wenger has huge authority at Arsenal. Even if any player is dissatisfied with his arrangements, they dare not raise it in front of him.
But Ye Luo's eyes are very candid now.
He said: "I know my physical fitness. I know you have to choose between the League Cup and the Premier League. But... I ask that I be not rotated in the League Cup."
"But..." Wenger frowned.
He knows that Yello has the privilege of not rotating in Malaga.
But that's Malaga, not Arsenal!
And Yello is so important to Arsenal.
Wenger knew he had to use it sparingly.
No rotation?
How is that possible?
What if I get injured?
Ye Luo knows Wenger's worries.
"I understand your concerns, but you may know my physical fitness. One game every two days does not put any pressure on me, and I can guarantee that I will not be injured in the League Cup. At most, if I play If we still lose the game, I will accept the rotation in the future!"
Ye Luo gritted his teeth and said.
Wenger's eyes lit up.
Oh haha.
This is... you said it yourself.
