The Ball at Your Feet

To say that Arsenal has worked in vain for another year seems to be a bit too much, but it is almost the truth.

It's already April, and it seems that Arsenal is in the league and there is not much hope. Although Arsenal has made some progress by introducing Arshavin, it is at most suppressing other teams and keeping their fourth position, and they are no longer in contention with the other three teams.

The English League Cup, FA Cup, Arsenal have all been out, in this game, the hope of qualifying in the Champions League has also been stifled, Arsenal's future, no matter how you look at it, the future is slim.

Four years without a championship is a bit too cruel for a strong team. Although everyone says that Arsenal has a future and can win in the future, in fact, people have to admit that such a future seems to be out of reach.

Arsenal are cultivating talents, but other teams rely on direct introduction of talents. Real Madrid's frontcourt is a youth academy except for Raul, and everyone else bought it, but they still played very well. Compared with such an opponent, how can the training of talents be successful? Arsenal's hopes are not big at all.

"I heard that Manchester City is already making an offer to buy Arsenal's Toure and Adebayor." Seeing the game getting worse and worse, Lineker couldn't help but speak. "Moreover, Wenger also Intentional sale. It is said that Toure and Gala are at odds, Wenger prefers Gala, which is why he wants to sell Toure, but Adebayor left purely because he wanted to leave."

"Because Manchester City gives more money?"

"Yes, Manchester City gave him a weekly salary of 170,000 pounds."

"Why do I suddenly feel that anyone can get a weekly salary of 170,000 pounds?" Hansen complained. "Think about it now, it's not worth it for Liverpool. Even Adebayor has a weekly salary of 170,000... "

"This is not the point I want to say," Lineker smiled bitterly. "The point I want to say is that there seems to be a problem with Arsenal's model. With Wenger's good eyes, I see young people. They have trained young players to win the championship. They have always been considered the best team building model. However, it seems that there has been a problem now. Look at Arsenal, their young people When the team can’t win the championship, what they think is not how to help the team win the championship, but how to change the team and get a group of good teammates to win the championship. Such a thing, at our time It has to be concealed, but now, being ambitious is already their public reason, and it is still a fair and honest reason."

"After the Bosman Act, the connection between the team and the players can no longer be recovered. In the past, the team was everything to the player. The team had jurisdiction over the player, which also made the player Don’t think about things outside of your team. But now, everyone is naked with the relationship between merchants and commodities, and naturally they don’t have the same emotions as before. Now that the players are no longer tied to the team, But you can have your own choice, so naturally there is no loyalty to speak of." Hansen replied.

"So, is it possible that this Arsenal team will all fall apart one day in the future?"

"It's not impossible. There will be a day, as long as the players leave enough money for the team."

"But this kind of Arsenal, it looks like there is really no hope anymore..."

In fact, they all understand that from this season, after the UK promulgated the new tax law, English football will be considered dead. The 40% tax rate has risen to 50%. Coupled with the depreciation of the British pound, the two things are connected, and the players' income has plummeted. Who wants to stay here to play?

The economy decides everything-what was the level of Serie A in the 1990s and even at the beginning of the century? why? There were loopholes in the Italian tax law at the time and tax evasion was possible. Therefore, Italy could give people an annual salary of more than 7 million yuan and only pay 2 million yuan in taxes. But in the new century, as soon as the new tax law was announced, the loopholes were plugged, and Italian football was completely over. The better three can still support them, but Rome, Lazio, Parma and Florence, which have a poorer economic foundation, are really fleeing.

And now, it's England's turn. Spain has the Beckham Act, which can give players high salaries. Now England is facing a great crisis. After the promulgation of the new tax law, what can we do to confront Spain?

After this season, I am afraid that in the future, it will really be the era of Zhao Yaning's rule.

On the field, Real Madrid has scored the fourth goal. This time, Zhao Yaning, who got the ball, ran back and sent the ball into the penalty area and gave it to Raul. Raul gave an assist and knocked the ball back to Ibrahimovic, allowing Ibrahimovic to score a goal. . Arsenal is completely powerless, and the game has come to an end.

"Perhaps, it will be really difficult for us to win the championship in the future. It's no wonder that these players all want to escape. What is a player without a championship?"

"I don't think the championship is the whole thing that evaluates a person." Hansen shook his head. "Alan Shearer has no great champion, but he is still the best striker in the Premier League. There is nothing great about Batistuta. Honor, but how strong he is, fans keep in mind. It is a very stupid idea to think that there is a championship and everything is there. Whether a player really has strength depends not on the number of champions, but on the field. Performance."

"It doesn't seem right to say that..."

"Of course, when the strength is reached, the championship is a proof. For example, Zhao Yaning, he won the Champions League, it is enough to prove that he is the world's first. But besides him, Tevez, Rooney, Lampard and others have won the Champions League. It also has nothing to do with the world's No. 1 player. And for example, the World Cup champion, that thing, when a certain person gets it, is the king of the ball. For example, Ronaldo in 1998, Ronaldinho in 2006. But not them, even if It's them, not that characteristic time. No matter how good the performance is, it has nothing to do with the champion. Ronaldo won the World Cup in 2002, and no one said he was the champion-time passed, and the opportunity is waiting for no one. The trophy of the championship is the crown of the king. The Champions League is the crown of the world’s first crown, and the World Cup is the crown of the ball king. The king without a crown is a pity, but it is also an uncrowned king. But it is not the one who wears the crown. King."

"So how many times has Zhao Yaning worn the crown?"

"How can different teams and different eras be counted together? Unless it is the dynasty of the Champions League, what kind of crown is it?"

Real Madrid easily defeated Arsenal in their home court.

At home 3-1, Arsenal was suppressed in the audience, almost no fight back. Zhao Yaning played a very beautiful game, not only relying on his own ball control to overwhelm, forcing Arsenal to change the formation and losing offensive power, at the same time, he also relied on his own involvement to gain enough for his teammates. By chance, he even broke into the penalty area and scored a goal. After accomplishing these things, he also received high praise after the game.

"Real Madrid are very strong and they are more worthy of a victory." When Wenger was interviewed after the game, he also admitted that his team was not as strong as others. "In the last game, we should have done it. It was better, but the mistake that time made us fail to grasp the opportunity. The game deviated from what we expected and caused the final loss..."

Wenger's resentment is still the play of Juru in the Champions League. In fact, if it weren't for Zhu Lu's nonsense play, judging from Ibrahimovic's mistakes, Arsenal might have won a victory. Although this match at the Bernabeu was completely defeated, what if the first round was won? Maybe everything has changed.

But now, Arsenal have to accept, it's another fate that all four are empty in a year.

"We will not sell any players, whether Adebayor or Toure, will stay in our team. Arsenal has a future and we can do better."

Although Wenger once again emphasized his confidence after the game, these words were ridiculed by many media: Now it is not a matter of whether you want to sell, but a question of whether the players are willing to stay. Adebayor is already contacting Manchester City for money, and Fabregas is also very minded. What does Wenger think, that everyone is still willing to loyally accompany him and defend the Emirates Stadium?

And Real Madrid once again advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League and became a semi-final team.

At this time, the games of the other teams were almost completed at the same time.

Manchester United and Barcelona qualify without pressure. Because the opponents are players from the Portuguese Super League, they played very easily and simply. Although Benfica and Porto can be regarded as rich teams in the Portuguese Super League, there is a fundamental gap between them and the Premier League La Liga teams after all. In the game, Manchester United and Barcelona almost all chose to rely on the substitute lineup to challenge. However, neither Benfica nor Porto did not turn up the waves and were directly eliminated by them.

In the last game, Chelsea and Liverpool faced off, Chelsea gave birth again. Although in the Stamford Bridge match, the two sides fought very fiercely and played an extremely rare 4-4 battle, but because Torres and Mascherano were absent from the game at Anfield, Chelsea 2- 1 defeated Liverpool, but also made Liverpool retired again.

And this time in the Champions League, at this time, La Liga and the Premier League each account for half of the country. And Manchester United vs. Real Madrid, Chelsea vs. Barcelona, ​​can be regarded as their own old enemies~www.ltnovel.com~ Real Madrid are going to avenge the elimination of last season, and Chelsea and Barcelona are born with a bad match. These two goals The team's two-by-one fights have become the focus of everyone's attention.

At this time, Zhao Yaning was also feeling happy and puzzled by another news: Although he did not go back in the national team game, he still won.

The two games of the national team, one in February and one at the end of March. One time happened to be the intensive period of the Copa del Rey double matches a week, and the other time was at the end of March, before the match against Arsenal. These two time periods are really embarrassing. I have to fly back to Asia to play in the national team in the double matches a week, which is a bit tiring no matter how you look at it.

And because the opponents in these two games, one played at home against North Korea and the other played at Qatar away, weren't particularly strong teams. Coach Gao also became the master and told him that he didn't have to go back to China.

What surprised Zhao Yaning was that both games were won.

"I remember that there is nothing wrong. It seems that both Qu Bo and Zheng Zhi can't mix in foreign countries this season, and they have returned to China? The strength of the national team should have been weakened a lot. Why did they get a good game? "Zhao Yaning was a little puzzled about this. After the game, he specially found the game tape and watched it several times, and the final result was that the overall performance of the national team seemed to be better than what he usually saw.

"Well, when you return to China, I will explain it to you carefully." Zhang Yuan said on the other end of the phone. "It said on the phone that it’s not very convenient. But, remember what I said about the 2010 World Cup. You will definitely have a good team. With these words, I have done what I said. Now, it is time for me to fulfill my promise."
