Chapter 437 Wenger is old and it’s time to retire
As Lin Quan expected, the way De Bruyne looked at him had completely changed.
De Bruyne's look inexplicably reminded Lin Quan of a line from Stephen Chow's movie:
Chang Wei, you also said that you don't know martial arts!
Because it was so incredible, Lin Quan even saw admiration in this guy's eyes!
Not to mention De Bruyne, the players from both teams on the field looked at Lin Quan with different eyes.
They have seen direct free kicks before scoring goals, but they have never seen Lin Quan hit two consecutive free kicks accurately.
The key is that his two free kicks were the kind of balls that left the goalkeeper helpless, and there was no possibility of saving them.
Such free kick skills are simply amazing, more terrifying than Juninho!
Lin Quan's two free kick goals had a great impact on Borussia's morale.
In the subsequent games, Borussia's players became helpless and were very worried about giving Manchester City another free kick.
The score of 2:0 remained until the end.
In the end, Manchester City defeated their opponent 2:0 in the away game and won two consecutive victories.
On the other side, in Juventus' match against Sevilla, Morata continued his excellent form in the previous game and scored another goal in this game to help the team defeat the opponent 2:0.
As a result, Manchester City ranks first in Group D with two consecutive victories, and the qualifying situation is excellent.
Monchengladbach suffered two consecutive losses and had little hope of qualifying.
Juventus and Sevilla have each won one game and have the same points, but Sevilla will face Manchester City in the next game, so in terms of schedule, Juventus has a greater advantage.
If Sevilla cannot defeat Juventus the next time the two teams meet again, then there is a high probability that No. 2 in the group will be Juventus.
Morata, who scored consecutive goals in two performances, began to gradually attract the attention of major giants.
In particular, his old club Real Madrid specially sent scouts to the scene to inspect his condition.
Morata seems to be one step closer to returning to the Bernabeu.
Speaking of Real Madrid, in this round of competition, Real Madrid's star Cristiano Ronaldo just set a record.
He scored twice against Malmo and his total goals in Real Madrid reached 323, surpassing Real Madrid's legendary striker Raul and becoming the top scorer in Real Madrid's history.
And compared with Raul, Ronaldo's scoring efficiency is much higher.
It only took him 323 games to complete 308 goals, while Raul took 741 games. The efficiency difference between the two was more than doubled.
This season, Ronaldo is in very hot form.
It seems that he was stimulated by the summer transfer. After the start of this season, Ronaldo has been terrifying in both the league and the Champions League.
In the third round of the La Liga match between Real Madrid and Espanyol that ended last month, Cristiano Ronaldo once performed a great show of five goals in an away game, kicking one person with his head and kicking and scoring five goals, which shocked the audience!
In the Champions League group stage, Ronaldo first completed a hat trick in the first round, and then scored twice in the second round.
At the end of two rounds, he led the Champions League scorer list with five goals!
Ronaldo seems to be using his fiery state to respond to those voices from the outside world that question him:
He is a well-deserved superstar, and no one can deny his identity and status.
With Messi injured and unable to play, the most popular player in La Liga is undoubtedly Cristiano Ronaldo.
Of course, if you consider the entire five major leagues, then Lin Quan's limelight is not lost to him at Manchester City.
Especially after Lin Quan's stunning free kick to score twice, more media rushed to report on him than Ronaldo.
After all, for a giant like them, scoring goals is common, and scoring twice is not uncommon.
But Lin Quan can always come up with new tricks, which makes it more interesting and attractive.
In addition, Lin Quan is from the Premier League, and the British media are much better than the media in other leagues in terms of publicity capabilities because of the language.
However, Ronaldo's performance is indeed very eye-catching, and the various statistics are not mentioned, so the popularity is also very high.
Considering that both Manchester City and Real Madrid are in very good form this season, some fans have begun to speculate in advance, hoping to see a strong dialogue between these two teams in the Champions League.
However, judging from the current results of the two teams, they are definitely out of reach in the first stage of the knockout rounds.
By the time we get to the quarter-finals, if we're lucky, we might be able to draw each other.
……
Some are happy and some are sad. Just when Manchester City is victorious, other teams in the Premier League are experiencing mixed joy and sorrow.
In this round of group matches, the performance of several other Premier League teams is still sluggish.
In addition to Manchester United's difficult reversal of Wolfsburg at home with Mata's penalty kick and Smalling's goal, Arsenal and Chelsea both lost to their opponents upset.
If Chelsea lost 1:2 to Portuguese Super League hegemon Porto in an away game, it was reasonable, then Arsenal was defeated by the weak Olympiacos 2:3 at home, which was a bit surprising.
You know, Arsenal lost an upset to Dinamo Sagnab, the weakest team in the group, in the first game of the group stage, and now they have lost to another mediocre team.
Their next opponent is Bayern Munich, the strongest team in the group, which means that Arsenal is likely to experience a three-game losing streak.
What's even worse is that after Arsenal plays Bayern at home, they have to play Bayern away from home in the fourth round.
This means that Arsenal is very likely to suffer a four-game losing streak!
Three consecutive defeats have already set a record in Arsenal's team history. If they lose four consecutive games, Arsenal may be on the pillar of shame.
After this game, there were some voices criticizing Wenger.
Some media and fan organizations believe that the French's tactical thinking is old and conservative and cannot keep up with the development trend of today's football.
Coupled with the fact that his on-the-spot command ability is not strong and he did nothing during the summer signings, these are the reasons why Arsenal collapsed in both the league and the Champions League this season.
"I think it's time for Wenger to retire. If he continues to stay at Arsenal, it may not be a good thing for the team and himself!"
Wenger is 66 years old and is indeed not young anymore.
If his coaching performance in the team is very good, he can continue to work for a few more years.
But the current Gunners, under his leadership, feel like they are entering an abyss, which makes Gunners fans worried.
"Hey, don't be so stingy with transfer fees in the summer. Buy more stars to enrich the team's lineup, and things like this won't happen now!"
I don’t know if Wenger himself is stingy and reluctant to spend money, or if, as the rumors say, Arsenal’s boss is a miser and doesn’t give the team funds to buy people.In short, during the summer transfer period, Arsenal did not buy anyone. This is an ironclad fact!
At this time, the team suffered a losing streak, and what fans mentioned most was their failed transfer policy.
They have always been trying to make a fool of themselves, saying that the strongest person is already in the team. If they paralyze themselves and don't buy reinforcements, how can the team make progress?
Besides, Wenger's approach is indeed a bit outdated.
Any team that is familiar with Arsenal knows how to deal with them.
And Wenger is not a person who is good at on-the-spot command and adjustment. Every time he makes a decision, he is aware of it and the adjustment effect is not good, which further amplifies Arsenal's shortcomings.
Although being eliminated from the Champions League group stage is not unacceptable to Arsenal, with their current strength, even if they make it out of the group stage and enter the knockout stage and encounter the No. 1 player in other groups, they will most likely end up defeated.
But what makes Arsenal fans frustrated and even desperate is that they see no hope in the current Arsenal.
Other wealthy families are making frequent moves. Regardless of the results, at least they are doing something.
What about Arsenal?
There is no movement at all!
How despairing!
In fact, like Arsenal fans, Manchester United fans are also a little confused.
I thought that by inviting a famous coach like Mourinho, the team could finally get back on track.
That's what the Red Devils fans thought when they started the season with two consecutive wins.
But now, the team is stumbling in the Champions League. They are struggling so hard against several weak teams, which makes them gradually lose confidence.
It seems that the Manchester United team of that year is still very far away, far from the level of the return of the king.
At least compared with Manchester City next door, the current Manchester United is too far behind!
Manchester United is a wealthy club with a profound heritage. If the team had not been in poor condition and fallen into a trough in the past two years, their fans would definitely demand more than the current level of performance from their team.
But even though they lowered their psychological expectations, they found that it was still difficult for the team to meet expectations, which made them feel frustrated and confused.
As for Blues fans, they've given up on treatment.
As far as Chelsea's current record in the league is concerned, they are already flat, so it doesn't matter.
As if in response to this state of the fans, Chelsea, who had just returned from the away game, lost to their opponents with a score of 1:3 in the home game against Southampton...
After this game, Chelsea had 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in the first eight rounds, with only 8 points. The position in the standings fell to 16th, only one step away from the relegation zone.
No one could have imagined that Chelsea, which had led the Premier League standings last season and competed with Manchester City for the league title until the last minute, would decline so quickly this season.
Their posture is already swooping towards the relegation zone. If Hiddink cannot adjust the team's condition as soon as possible, then it does not seem impossible that the Blues will be relegated to the English Championship.
Seeing the team's poor performance, Blues fans can't sit still.
There were various voices at Stamford Bridge. Some fans shouted loudly, asking Abramovich to fire Hiddink and hire a real famous coach.
Some people ask the team to spend huge sums of money to introduce superstars during the winter break to revitalize the team.
Some people also think that there are insiders in the team. These stars who have received big contracts but have done nothing should not be allowed to be so comfortable with high salaries. They should be kicked out and replaced with a group of motivated and energetic players.
In short, there are all kinds of voices, but none of them are reliable.
Abramovich is also one of the top two players. He thought that with Chelsea's foundation here, whoever he chooses to coach would not be too bad, so he had the confidence to break up with Mourinho!
But reality slapped him hard, letting him know that the situation was different from what he thought.
Now Chelsea is like a seriously ill patient with a critical illness notice, and it is difficult to cure him with medicine or stone.
The players fell into collective confusion, had no fighting spirit on the field, and chaos occurred frequently in the locker room.
Hiddink is no longer able to control the players and the locker room.
Originally, according to Mourinho's character, when he saw Abramovich's team in such a situation, he would have stood up and made a mockery.
But in this round of competition, Manchester United was beaten 3:0 by Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium!
Arsenal has swept away the haze of two consecutive defeats in the Champions League, but Manchester United and Mourinho are starting to feel depressed again.
What's going on with Arsenal?
It was simply outrageous. Manchester United's defense was very good in this game and there were no mistakes.
But the opponent's opening attack stunned Manchester United. In the first 20 minutes, Arsenal scored three goals, killing the game directly.
Facts have proved that Arsenal is a nerve knife.
When they are in a downturn, no one can beat them. Even a weak team from Eastern Europe can ride on their heads and shit.
But once they get up to speed and play like crazy on the court, no one can stop them.
Just like this game, Sanchez's goal in the 6th minute not only helped Arsenal take the lead, but also inspired the team's state and confidence, allowing them to maximize their potential without pressure. All inspired.
The legend of Arsenal is extremely gorgeous. When the players on the field are in good condition, it becomes even more gorgeous and unstoppable.
With Arsenal like this, even Barcelona at their peak can't say they can win, so Manchester United's defeat to them is not unfair.
After swallowing the defeat depressingly, Mourinho naturally had no intention of mocking his old club.
Instead, he saw the man he wanted in Arsenal's squad:
Arsenal winger-Sanchez!
Sanchez was in very hot form in this game. He was almost unstoppable on the wing. Not only did he score two goals, he also had many highlights and wonderful performances throughout the game.
Manchester United's full-backs were almost beaten to a pulp!
Seeing the opponent's unparalleled breakthrough and scoring ability, Mourinho's mouth almost started to water.
When you were in La Liga, why didn't you realize that Sanchez was so powerful?
Did he further stimulate his offensive potential after coming to the Premier League, or was it because he was overshadowed by Messi and did not get enough firing rights?
No matter what the reason is, Manchester United needs such talents!
At this moment, Mourinho had the idea of poaching Wenger!
