Four to one! Seeing the bloody score on the big screen above White Hart Lane, the Arsenal players couldn't help but lose consciousness. This is mainly because when Tottenham shattered Arsenal's dream of unbeaten league championship last season, the two teams also played against each other at White Hart Lane, and the score between the two sides was also four to one!
Originally, the two teams met in the Community Shield final at the beginning of the season, and the Gunners eventually lost 3-2, which made Arsenal players think that they already had the capital to compete with Tottenham. And now, as Tottenham scored four goals in a row to reverse the score, the confidence that the Arsenal players had finally built up was completely destroyed!
Unknowingly, the strength gap between us and Tottenham has become so huge? Seeing that they were about to suffer another defeat against Tottenham, Henry, Vieira and others thought in despair. Although they really don't want to admit this slightly cruel fact, they can only choose to accept it when the reality is right in front of them.
I hope the club can realize this and introduce some strong players in the next transfer window to strengthen the depth of the bench. Looking away from the big screen, Henry thought to himself. The Highbury king has quite a deep affection for Arsenal and Arsene Wenger, who rescued him from the trough of his career. Therefore, he hopes to lead Arsenal to win championship trophies through his own efforts, instead of leaving Highbury when the team is in trouble and joining another team with a bright future!
In George's previous life, Henry held on to this idea after Vieira left, and led Arsenal to the Champions League final in the 05-06 season. However, by the end of the 06-07 season, the 30-year-old King of Highbury finally chose to transfer and leave. Because at that time Henry had already recognized the reality and realized that it was impossible for Arsenal to realize his wish as it entered the reconstruction period!
And now, despite repeated defeats at Tottenham, Henry is obviously more willing to stick with Arsenal after having just won a league championship with the team.
Unlike Henry, who is counting on the club to strengthen its lineup, Vieira, who joined Arsenal earlier than Henry and has a more outspoken personality, has another idea at this time. For the Arsenal captain, who was close to joining Real Madrid this summer, he would rather achieve greater heights at the peak of his career rather than be like his superstar teammate Roberto Baggio when he played for AC Milan. , is extremely famous in international football but did not win many championship trophies until he retired!
Therefore, when he saw Tottenham rising strongly under the leadership of George Nelson and vaguely showing signs of becoming the new generation of British hegemons, while the overall strength of Arsenal, where he played for, was deteriorating, Vieira couldn't help but start to think seriously again. His future at Highbury.
With their morale severely depressed, Arsenal, which was three goals behind, was naturally unable to make a comeback. Although Henry got Arsenal back a point in stoppage time and scored an extremely wonderful volley, everyone knew that Henry's goal had nothing to do with the overall situation. A consolation prize for Arsenal, just to make the Gunners look a little better.
In this way, Arsenal, who were visiting White Hart Lane, lost a good game when they were leading for a while, and were defeated by Tottenham, which was even better, in four consecutive games and successfully came back. In the end, they lost the relationship with a score of 2 to 4. The big derby! And this is Arsenal's fifth consecutive defeat in the North London Derby!
Arsenal fans were naturally extremely dissatisfied with this result. Therefore, after the team lost to Tottenham, they left messages on Arsenal's official website and official forums, hoping that Wenger could adjust his transfer ideas and introduce several strong defensive players to avoid the recurrence of today's situation. Campbell and Gilberto were injured, and the team was bombarded by opponents with high-altitude balls, a tragic situation!
However, what disappointed Arsenal fans was that Wenger did not give any positive response to this, but gave them a rather speechless answer-the team's current lineup is strong enough and just needs to be carried out. Just make minor repairs, there is no need to spend huge sums of money in the transfer market!
This is not to suggest that Wenger is indifferent to Arsenal's future. Of course he is well aware of the current problems in Arsenal's lineup, but the solution he came up with is completely different from what most people think - the professor's idea is to poach more young players from all over the world to add them. Cultivate and select candidates who can take over the existing main force!
In Wenger's view, since he can achieve the same effect with less money, why should he buy expensive stars instead of choosing these young players with greater room for growth and cheaper transfer fees?
Of course, one of the reasons why Wenger tends to select young players to enrich the lineup is that the construction of a new stadium has brought a huge financial burden to Arsenal, making it impossible for the cash-strapped professor to compete with other clubs for those players. Famous football star.
To be honest, although Wenger's point of view does not seem to have any problems, the professor with a bachelor's degree in economics has ignored a very important issue, that is, after the implementation of the Bosman Act, no club can rely solely on Cultivate young players to become a top club, and no ambitious star would be willing to join such a team that is so stingy in reinforcing its strength!
Even Barcelona, which was known as the "Cosmic Team" in its previous life and attached great importance to youth training, this Catalan giant also spent a lot of money on a certain player in the transfer market. For example, Alves, Zyglinski, Suarez, Neymar, etc. have never thought that the team does not need to spend a lot of money to introduce stars because of its excellent youth training. Arsenal is different. Before Cesc Fabregas paid his own money to transfer and leave the team, Wenger did not introduce a few famous stars even when the financial pressure was reduced. He relied on a group of young players to support him and shouted " They are competing for the championship but fighting for Champions League qualifications every year.
It can be said that Wenger's team building ideas entered a misunderstanding from the beginning. His approach of ignoring player psychology and the role of stars not only caused Arsenal to fall out of the ranks of the top giants, but also caused the Gunners' attraction to top stars to drop significantly!
However, George had no intention of reminding Wenger. Not to mention that Arsenal is Tottenham's direct competitor in the domestic arena, the century-old relationship between the two clubs is enough to make George give up this idea - he does not want to be labeled as an "enemy" by Tottenham fans. "hat of.
