In George's view, although Wenger's shrewd business methods and transfer strategies have allowed Arsenal to become one of the few clubs in the Premier League that can make profits every year, in general, he does not like premium signings and prefers to cultivate young players. The professor is more suitable to be a general manager or youth training director, rather than being the head coach of a top giant - if it was the Arsenal team that urgently needed to get out of the two dilemmas of the Graham black money scandal and the team's declining record. Na, then Wenger, who insists on offensive football and technical flow, and is extremely keen on discovering young players, is indeed the best choice. And now, as Arsenal has grown from a mid-tier Premier League club to a well-known top team in European football, Wenger's insistence on this transfer idea to run the team will undoubtedly seem a bit inconsistent with the Gunners' current status as a wealthy club. .
You know, no top club has ever sold its captain or key players every year, or maintained the normal operations of the club by buying low and selling high in the transfer market. Therefore, when Wenger does this, it means that Arsenal will be lower than other teams with wealthy brands in terms of status!
Some people may say that Wenger did this because he was afraid of making rash moves in the transfer market due to the financial pressure brought by the construction of a new stadium, but don't forget that he originally took a loan from a bank and converted it into a loan with a long repayment period. After 25 years of long-term debt, Arsenal only have to repay the bank £18 million a year. This amount of money is really not that huge for an Arsenal company whose annual TV broadcast revenue is around 50 million pounds, ticket revenue is expected to be 80 to 90 million pounds after the completion of the new stadium, and there are a lot of commercial sponsorship contracts. of debt.
The reason why teams such as Lazio, Borussia Dortmund and Fiorentina fell into financial crisis or even went bankrupt that year was mainly because most of their debts at the time were short-term loans due within one or two years, and because their income from television broadcasts and other revenues was not as expected. To. Therefore, when these accumulated debts explode, Lazio will fall into the crisis of bankruptcy and liquidation. Arsenal is different. They have a full twenty-five years to slowly pay off this debt. Under such circumstances, it is nonsense to say that Arsenal has no money to buy people because of stadium loan problems. Eight ways!
This is also the main reason why George chose to stop after creating some obstacles for Wenger in the construction of Arsenal's new stadium. Because George knows very well that this will only increase some loan repayment pressure on Arsenal, and by the way delay the completion date of the new stadium, it will not have a fatal impact on the Gunners' finances.
There is a saying that goes, those in authority are confused, but onlookers know clearly. As the founder of the current Arsenal team, Wenger is certainly not aware of these problems in him, nor does he know that his harsh attitude towards veteran veterans has already affected Vieira and Gilberto Silva. These older main players have had a serious impact. At this time, he was shouting loudly on the sidelines, trying to revive the team's morale and get the players to cheer up as soon as possible to avoid being taken away by Tottenham!
I have to say that Wenger's idea does seem very beautiful, but the reality is very skinny. Although Bergkamp, Pires and Vieira all have very high professionalism and will not be passive on the court because of contract renewal issues with the club and worries about the future, this matter will still happen. Have a certain negative impact on their status. Coupled with Reyes, whose self-confidence and form have plummeted after suffering a heavy setback, and Senderos, who was beaten by Drogba... If Arsenal wants to restore the current unfavorable situation, it will not be possible to use one or two slogans. fixed.
Not to mention, George's tactical arrangement in this FA Cup final was also quite restrained against Arsenal's lineup. In addition to defending in the center and playing defensive counterattack strategies, George specifically increased the frequency of Robben and Cristiano Ronaldo's cross-positioning on the offensive end, allowing the former to attack Ashley Cole's defense zone and arrange Cristiano Ronaldo and Evra The two of them went to deal with the right wing guarded by Lauren!
Cristiano Ronaldo may not be able to deal with Ashley Cole alone, the defensive strength of Arsenal's defense, due to his experience and age (Stephen Carr's offensive support is not as good as before after a serious knee injury), but in last year's Robben, who almost single-handedly supported the Dutch team's frontcourt attack in the European Cup, had the ability to suppress Cole. After switching to the left, Ronaldo can team up with Evra, who likes to press for assists, to deal with Lauren, who lacks Ljungberg as a powerful assistant.
George's targeted tactical arrangement has achieved extremely significant results. Lauren, who has limited abilities, is naturally unable to resist the successive attacks of Evra and Ronaldo. Especially now that the team is two goals behind and Vieira has to devote more energy to the offensive end, the Cameroonian's right-side defense can't help but become more and more fragile!
Cristiano Ronaldo and Evra's extremely threatening offensive on the left, coupled with Xavi Alonso's intention to distribute the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo's side, caused the Arsenal players to subconsciously form a kind of attitude under the huge pressure. The inertia of thinking has unconsciously shifted the defense line seriously to the right!
Sure enough, in the 35th minute of the game, Alonso seized on the psychological inertia of the Arsenal players and suddenly passed the ball when Vieira and Gilberto were all focused on Lauren's side. Pass to the right where Robben is. The Dutch Peter Pan used his speed to forcefully break through Ashley Cole's defense and then passed the ball back from the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area. Drogba, who was ambushing on the right side of the penalty area, once again pushed Senderos to the side, ten meters in front of the goal. Chu raised his right foot and volleyed directly!
Drogba's volley shot was very powerful, and it rarely hit the door frame, but Lehmann finally showed his level as a German goalkeeper this time, making a beautiful flying save and blocking the ball. Out of the baseline, corner kick!
Although Lehmann proved with a wonderful save that his sword is still young, but then, when Alonso's corner kick accurately found Evra who advanced to the edge of the penalty area, and the latter's ball hit Senderos. When the line changed later, Lehmann could only choose to watch the ball and sigh, three to zero!
Eight minutes later, Tottenham made a comeback. Davis once again stole Reyes and then distributed the ball in the middle. Robben drove the ball straight into the large space left by Ashley Cole and made his signature inward shot from the front of the penalty area. The ball Bypassing Lehmann's ten-finger barrier and falling into the net, four to zero!
In this way, before the end of the first half, Tottenham players had the FA Cup championship this season firmly in their hands. It can be said that unless a miracle happens and Arsenal can score four goals in a row in the remaining 45 minutes, no one will be able to take away this championship trophy from Tottenham!
