In the end, Arsenal's 4-3 home victory over Manchester City became the focus of discussion by almost all English media, European media, and Dragon Country media after the game.
Especially Ye Luo's record-breaking record has made people talk about it.
The media in England seems to be a bit hungry.
Because this record does not belong to England, or even to the British.
This upset some people in England.
But no matter how unhappy they are, that's all they can do.
People all over the world are marveling at Ye Luo's wonderful performance.
As for Ye Luo.
Breaking the record was as common as breathing, so he didn't care much.
What he cares about is the competition for the league championship.
He knows how fierce the competition for the Premier League title is.
For Arsenal, beating Manchester City at home is a good thing.
Because they suddenly led Manchester City by five points.
Manchester United's defeat of Chelsea is actually not a bad thing for Arsenal.
Because Chelsea fell behind Arsenal by 8 points!
This is almost equivalent to announcing that Chelsea has withdrawn from the competition for the league title.
That is to say.
After this round of league.
Three echelons have also been formed among the championship groups.
Arsenal ranks first in the standings with 65 points after 26 league rounds.
Manchester United is one point behind Arsenal in second place in the league.
Manchester City, on the other hand, has scored 60 points, four points behind Manchester United and five points behind Arsenal, ranking third.
Chelsea follows with fifty-seven points.
But it is now clearly impossible for Chelsea to strive for the top spot in the title race.
They may be more likely to be disruptors.
Anyway.
Manchester United's defeat of Chelsea is actually not a bad thing for Arsenal.
Because in this way, the only competition between Manchester United and Arsenal is left in the first echelon of the championship zone.
The decrease in competitors is actually not a bad situation.
after this game.
The entire Arsenal team was not immersed in the joy of defeating their title rivals.
Because they have to go to Turkey non-stop and usher in a Champions League game.
The Champions League quarter-finals are finally about to begin.
Arsenal will face Turkish Super League giant Galatasaray first away and then at home in the quarter-finals.
This is for Arsenal, who has either been drawn to Bayern Munich or Barcelona in recent seasons.
A team from Turkey was drawn as the opponent in the Champions League round of 16.
It was simply unprecedented luck.
But in fact, this is God helping those who help themselves.
Who made Arsenal second in the group most of the time in the past few seasons.
Moreover, Arsenal's matches against Bayern and Barcelona have become a gimmick and a joke.
Therefore, their probability of drawing those two teams is greatly increased when they are second in the group - UEFA also wants to eat traffic.
It's just a pain for Arsenal, no big deal.
Oh, Arsenal was really unlucky last season.
They finally won the first place in the Champions League group in one season.
result
Bayern is ranked second in the group.
This also has something to do with Yello - who put Bayern in the same group as Malaga, where Yello was at the time.
And this season.
Barcelona is first in the group, Bayern is first in the group, and Arsenal is also first in the group.
You can smoke, no matter how you smoke, you won't be able to smoke Barcelona or Bayern.
The curse of three years with Barcelona and five years with Bayern has finally been broken.
Many Arsenal fans are vaguely looking forward to Arsenal's final results in the Champions League this season.
Optimistic Arsenal fans believe that they will guarantee the top eight this season, strive for the semi-finals, and strive to win the championship next season.
A more pessimistic person thinks that the quarterfinals are very good - because the Champions League quarterfinals were an achievement that was difficult for Arsenal to achieve in the past.
anyway.
With the arrival of the Champions League.
The popularity of the Premier League has also declined somewhat as a result.
Champions League.
It is always the most exciting event for fans.
And just when the Arsenal team took a plane to Istanbul.
Arsenal’s official website has issued a travel warning for Arsenal fans.
"All Arsenal fans who go to away games, please be sure not to go alone, try to go out in groups, do not be alone or in groups of three or five, there must be more than a dozen people to be safe!"
This travel warning is actually not unusual.
When traveling to some cities where security conditions are not that good.
Many clubs will issue similar travel warnings.
We hope that fans who go to away games to cheer for the team will pay attention to their safety.
This is understandable, because clubs also need to care about the safety of their fans.
But is Istanbul an unsafe city?
Not really.
After all, this is a well-known tourist city that welcomes millions of tourists every year - and it's certainly not unsafe if you just visit it.
But if you are a fan of a team.
And your team is coming to Istanbul to play a game.
The opponent is one of the two teams Galatasaray or Besiktas.
Then you have to be especially careful!
because
Turkish fans.
It's pretty, pretty, pretty crazy.
It is said that Dortmund's Westfalenstadion is the craziest and most exciting stadium in Europe.
But their enthusiasm is based on atmosphere creation.
At least, the visiting team fans and players will not feel unsafe or even life-threatening.
And in Istanbul.
Türkiye's extreme fans will really beat up visiting fans.
There have even been some unfortunate incidents before.
There are many examples just looking at the misfortunes of English teams in Istanbul.
When Leeds United played Galatasaray in the Champions League, two Leeds United fans were stabbed to death in Turkey.
No one wants to see such a tragedy or happen.
That's why Arsenal Club issued such a warning.
In fact, for the Arsenal Club, they would rather fans not go to Turkey for this game and just watch it on TV at home.
Anyway
Whether there are fans at the scene to support this game is actually the same.
Arsenal's strategy in this game is definitely to control the situation away from home.
It doesn't matter whether you win or not, as long as you don't lose.
Everything will be resolved when we return to our home court.
After all, everyone knows how difficult it is to play away games in Türkiye.
But it happens.
Arsenal Football Club issued this warning out of concern for the safety of Arsenal fans.
It was interpreted by Turkish media as "this is discrimination against Turkey"!
"Istanbul receives millions of foreign tourists every year. Don't these British people know this? When did Istanbul become an "unsafe city"?"
"This is discrimination! Not only the British, but the entire European continent has this kind of prejudice against us. They think our country is unsafe and think we are a wilderness!"
"They always put many inexplicable charges on our heads. Europeans are so arrogant. They only regard themselves as a civilized world."
"They are discriminating against us! We must make them look good!!"
"Beat Arsenal! Give those damn English some color."
Under the corporate-level understanding of Turkish media.
Arsenal's official travel warning was seen by Turks as a sign of contempt for Turkey.
This fire.
It suddenly caught fire in Türkiye.
As Arsenal's players boarded the plane to head to Turkey.
Wenger also saw the reaction from the Turkish media.
See the Turkish media fanning the flames.
Wenger was absolutely speechless.
The game, if instigated by the Turks, becomes a confrontation between "Turkey and the arrogant Europeans."
That would be a disaster for Arsenal.
He could even imagine it.
If the main tone of the game is guided in this direction, what will Galatasaray's home stadium look like by then.
By then, Turk Telekom Stadium will definitely turn into hell.
It is even possible that some Arsenal fans were beaten in Istanbul.
But Wenger couldn't do anything about it.
This is the media.
They will not consider the consequences of their reporting and incitement.
They just want traffic.
Human blood steamed buns are delicious.
Who cares about the flood?
As long as the newspaper sells well and the news is sensational enough and eye-catching enough, they can make a lot of money.
As for the consequences?
How many media people will take care of this?
What? You talk about social responsibility.
Give me a break.
Where do media people have that thing?
even.
If the fire burns more and more fiercely.
So much so that several people actually died in Istanbul.
Then the media will be even more excited.
They can take the opportunity to create some hype.
Then let’s report it from another angle.
Anyway.
We are the fourth estate, and we never need to reflect on our own problems.
Although the media talks about the truth every day.
But they never really take the truth to heart.
They only care about how to report it and cause a sensation!
Stirring fires is their specialty, but how to put them out?
sorry.
It's none of our business
The most typical thing is actually the Turkish media that made Wenger angry.
It’s the English tabloids, the ancestors of the modern media industry.
The Hillsborough disaster shocked the world.
But in order to attract attention, the Sun newspaper called Liverpool fans thugs and murderers without any evidence.
And also created a lot of sensational rumors.
And as the truth emerges.
Has The Sun ever reflected?
They didn't even apologize.
In the Dragon Kingdom.
A young singer once died of illness.
In order to grab first-hand news, some reporters forced their way into the morgue to photograph the bodies of the deceased.
In order to pursue the timeliness and sensationality of news.
The media industry is destined to drive out good money with bad money.
But unfortunately, no one can stop the power of public opinion.
Now in Türkiye, this fire has been lit.
And there is a tendency for the fever to become more and more prosperous.
Now.
Wenger can only pray.
Fingers crossed that everything goes well and fans try not to travel to Türkiye.
Don't let anything bad happen.
These days before the game.
Wenger even wanted to hang a cross on his chest so that he could pray anytime and anywhere.
