In the semi-finals of the FA Cup, they were defeated by four goals by Tottenham, their local rivals, and in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, they were eliminated by Chelsea, also from London... In just one week, Arsenal fans experienced it first-hand. What is the two worlds of ice and fire!
Therefore, after witnessing the team's two consecutive defeats and bidding farewell to the FA Cup and Champions League, the angry Arsenal fans could not help but pour their anger on Wenger and the Arsenal players!
After all, anyone who sees that the team they support has dropped from the hope of winning the Triple Crown to the point where they can only compete for the league championship in just one week. This huge psychological gap will make a fan make some unusual decisions. A calm move.
Coupled with the fact that the League Cup ended in the semi-finals, the mood of Arsenal fans at this time is even worse. Although judging from the current situation, the Gunners, who have remained undefeated in the league so far, are very unhappy. There is hope of winning the third Premier League championship trophy in the club's history with an unbeaten season. It stands to reason that this honor is enough to appease fans' dissatisfaction with the team's successive exits from the FA Cup and Champions League. However, the fact that Arsenal was eliminated by rival Tottenham twice in a row in the League Cup and FA Cup made it difficult for Gunners fans to let go of their dissatisfaction, and they could not let go of the team's performance!
In the eyes of Arsenal fans, the championship trophy is important, and winning the Premier League title with an unbeaten season is a supreme honor that brings glory to them. However, they have only scored two draws in four meetings with Tottenham this season. Two losses, this result is really unacceptable to them.
No matter how many honors Arsenal have won this season, there is no way to defeat Tottenham, their local rival, in a head-to-head match, and they have also been eliminated from the League Cup and FA Cup by the opponent. This will forever be the fate of Arsenal. The stain that cannot be removed - the fans and the media will not care whether the logic is reasonable or whether there are other objective factors. In their view, since Arsenal has never been able to gain the upper hand against Tottenham, then It shows that the Gunners are no match for Tottenham, and the results they have achieved naturally have a lot of merit!
It is for this reason that many media and fans have expressed doubts about Arsenal's strength. They believe that the reason why the Gunners can dominate the standings is not because of how strong Arsenal is, but because of its Due to various reasons, those competitors have not performed stably on the league battlefield this season. Otherwise, this season's Premier League championship trophy may not necessarily fall into Arsenal's hands!
However, in terms of the degree of unluckiness, Arsenal, which has bid farewell to the FA Cup and Champions League championships, is obviously not the most unlucky one. After all, in the final analysis, the Gunners just lost the possibility of becoming the Triple Crown. In fact, in the eyes of most people, Arsenal was not the favorite to win the Champions League trophy, so it can only be said that they missed the opportunity to crown the Triple Crown. , and there is still a league championship to win, so there is nothing to regret.
In contrast, AC Milan and Real Madrid, the two favorites to win the championship, are obviously much more unlucky than Arsenal. The former defeated Deportivo La Coruna 4-1 in the first round, but was defeated by Super Deportivo at home in the second round and was defeated by Deportivo Deportivo 4-5 with a total score of 4-5 in the two rounds. Asia blocked the door to the Champions League semi-finals; and the latter, known as the Galacticos, also encountered Waterloo in the away game. Morientes, who was abandoned by Lafayette, scored twice at the Louis II Stadium. Helped Monaco successfully kill its old owner and kicked the star-studded Real Madrid out of the Champions League this season!
Both AC Milan and Real Madrid were eliminated by teams whose financial strength was far inferior to their own. As soon as these two pieces of news came out, it immediately caused a super earthquake in European football. [爱↑去△小↓说△网wqu] No one could have expected that Deportivo La Coruna and Monaco could actually complete a desperate comeback at their respective home courts after losing in the first round, defeating these two top teams. The wealthy club successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League!
You know, the opponents of Depor and Monaco are not weak teams, but the two most successful clubs in the history of the European Champions Cup - AC Milan (won 6 times) and Real Madrid (won 9 times). Moreover, these two giant clubs are not resting on their past laurels. In terms of book strength and player configuration, AC Milan and Real Madrid can be said to be the top in Europe, and they have reached the fourth place of the Champions League this season. The two strongest teams among the eight clubs in the quarter-finals. However, the final result was that AC Milan and Real Madrid both failed in the quarterfinals of the Champions League despite a great situation!
Who could have expected that the Rossoneri, which has the style of a king and showed signs of rebuilding the Milan dynasty after winning the Champions League trophy last season, would be almost defeated by Deportivo La Coruña at the Riazor Stadium and even be beaten by its opponents. Four goals in a row? Who could have guessed that Real Madrid, which has six top superstars and is known as the best club of the century, would actually overturn Monaco, a club that is not even a Ligue 1 giant. Moreover, they were defeated by them last year. Morientes, who was ruthlessly abandoned in the summer, killed him with his own hands?
At the same time, the players who led Deportivo La Coruna and Monaco to create these two miracles have become popular in the transfer market. Pursau, Roten, Giuly, Morientes, Pandiani, Luque, Belleron... With these two eye-popping victories, these names have become the targets of countless teams!
After all, neither Deportivo La Coruña nor Monaco are in good financial condition - the Galician autonomous region where Deportivo La Coruña is located is one of the poorest regions in Spain, and Monaco is also a famously poor team in Ligue 1. Only relying on the local low tax rate to attract so many powerful stars. This means that if those team managers who want to poach Depor and Monaco only need to wave their checkbooks and not hesitate to offer full transfer fees for their favorite players, then their success rate is Pretty guaranteed.
Regarding this scene, George was naturally quite emotional. However, he was not regretting the unexpected elimination of AC Milan and Real Madrid, nor was he watching the transfer wars unfolding around Deportivo and Monaco, but was lamenting the picture in front of him of the weak defeating the strong, and the grassroots team's success in the Champions League. The scene of showing off one's talents on the field is very likely to disappear completely in the Champions Cup!
It can be said that the 2003-04 season was the last feast for grassroots clubs. The top giants all stopped outside the top four. The scene where Porto and Monaco, two teams not from the four major leagues, met in the Champions League final will eventually become The swan song for these grassroots teams after the advent of the Bosman era. After that, no team from outside the four major leagues could appear in the Champions League final.
In George's previous life, Atletico Madrid led by Simeone and Dortmund coached by Klopp had some grassroots counterattacks. But it is a pity that neither Atletico Madrid nor Dortmund were able to persist until the end, and they all fell in the finals. If they can win the final championship trophy, perhaps the pattern of European football will be the same as this season, and there will be earth-shaking changes after this!
However, although George was very emotional about this feast that was likely to be unprecedented and belonged to the grassroots teams, he was also very impressed by the fearless temperament displayed by the players from Monaco and Deportivo La Coruna. Appreciation and admiration, but George did not have the intention of poaching these two teams like others.
With memories of his past life, George is very clear about the future development trends of these players. It can be said that, except for the three players Capdevila, Giuly and Evra, these two teams have nothing good.
Therefore, instead of George spending a lot of time competing for these players whose ceilings and development prospects are not very good, it is better to think carefully about whether he can play a trick of building a plank road and secretly building a warehouse. While most people's attention is focused on Depor and Monaco, they quietly launch an offensive towards Porto to further strengthen Tottenham.
After all, Porto is just a team that has just advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League, and is not the champion team that has won the Champions League. Moreover, the league it is in is destined to be difficult for this Portuguese Super League giant to retain the team. these high-quality resources. The most important thing is that in the context of the world economic downturn, it is difficult for Da Costa to ask for a high price no matter how black-hearted he is. In addition, Porto's opponent in the semi-finals is Super Deportivo who just beat AC Milan with four goals, and the prospect of advancing to the Champions League final is quite worrying. Therefore, in George's view, there is still a lot of opportunity for Tottenham to poach Porto now.
If Porto waits until Porto wins the Big Ear Cup under the leadership of Mourinho like in its previous life, then the difficulty of poaching for Tottenham will be greatly increased. After all, the attention, recognition and worth of the main player of a Champions League winning team are much higher than those of a player from a team that has stopped at the semi-finals of the Champions League!
Therefore, under George's instruction, Tottenham's transfer department made a tentative offer to Porto and launched a transfer offensive against Deco and Carvalho!
In this way, while fans are shocked by the many upsets that have occurred in the Champions League this season, the undercurrent of transfers has begun to quietly appear in places that fans have not noticed, and some far-sighted teams have also begun to prepare for the situation. We are making relevant preparations in advance for next season.
