Chapter 772 The 5th Element, Be Cowardly Before Fighting

Coutinho was a little stunned, but he was full of happiness. He could follow Dong Fangzhuo in the future. He would definitely learn a lot from Dong Fangzhuo, such as shooting, passing, running, etc... these are all First class.

Although he positions himself as a midfielder, these are also necessary for a world-class midfielder.

This guy is less than 17 years old, and it is basically impossible for him to get playing time in the first team, but he will definitely not lose money by following Dong Fangzhuo. A great future is waiting for him, as long as he doesn't waste himself.

"Hello,"

"You have to follow me from now on!" Balotelli was so smart that after realizing that Dong Fangzhuo had accepted a younger brother, he immediately ran over to increase his presence.

He was the first to follow Dong Fangzhuo, and now there is Coutinho. This does not mean that he is ranked ahead of Coutinho.

Bashen...

Coutinho rolled his eyes in his heart. He was very familiar with the name of Balotelli. Although Balotelli's brain is not very good, the young people in the youth team are very envious of Balotelli. Isn’t it everyone’s dream to get an annual salary of one million at the age of 18?

Coutinho naturally followed him...

※※※※※

The winter break of more than two weeks passed quickly, and in mid-January, Serie A resumed.

The strong Inter Milan continued their five-game winning streak and continued to consolidate their position in the standings, while Juventus finally began to fall behind, six points behind them.

In this wave of four consecutive victories, the teams that died tragically at the feet of Inter Milan were Atalanta, Sampdoria, Catania and Lecce, until they were tied 1:1 by Turin. During this period, they also won Bologna and reached the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup.

"No team can stop Inter Milan from defending their title. The draw with Turin was just because they wanted to prepare for the knockout rounds of the Champions League. Mourinho's thoughts are already on Arsenal, and even the Milan derby against AC Milan at home. They don't care that much..." "Gazzetta dello Sport" lamented that Inter Milan under Mourinho was stronger and gave almost no hope to the teams behind it.

"Now we finally see that Mourinho's Inter Milan is better than Mancini's Inter Milan."

"The number of goals scored by Chinese Dong in the league has also increased from 21 to 24. His personal data continues to set records, and Inter Milan has also achieved a terrifying record of 19 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss."

"Then the question is, is this Inter Milan the best in history?"

Now, many Italian media are discussing a question: Is this Inter Milan the strongest team in history? At least judging from the winning rate in the first 23 rounds, this view is justified, because Inter Milan set the strongest first half of the season in Serie A history!

After the first 23 rounds, Inter Milan had 19 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, and scored 60 points. This is an unprecedented record.

This season, Inter Milan has taken the lead. Even Juventus, who are struggling to catch up, can't hold back their points advantage. Now they are 6 points behind Inter Milan. Next, both teams will have to return to the Champions League. If you win, maybe the points gap will widen further.

It is under this premise that some experts ask "Is this Inter Milan the strongest Inter Milan in history?" Of course, it is still too early to draw conclusions. After all, in Italy, football needs to use results to define the process. Without the most important trophy harvest, no matter how much data and records are, they will only be mirrored. Therefore, if the Nerazzurri season If they are unable to win the Champions League, then "the strongest in history" will not be established.

However, one thing cannot be denied: this Inter Milan has played the most exciting and powerful season in the history of the Nerazzurri team. This is an iron fact.

Dong Fangzhuo's existence is of course crucial. After all, Inter Milan scored a total of 50 goals in 23 rounds, and Dong Fangzhuo scored 24 of them (and 11 assists). He truly demonstrated with his performance that he is the leader of this team. The leader of the team.

Italy's "La Repubblica" pointed out that Inter Milan has four magic weapons: "defense, fast break, physical fitness, and bench thickness."

But in addition to these four points, Inter Milan also has the strongest "fifth element", which is Dong Fangzhuo.

How do you feel when you see Inter Milan, which has been so successful, now ranked sixth in the UK, and Manchester United, which only achieved 14 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses in the first 23 rounds of the season? Will the Glazers regret their poor assessment?

Mourinho, who is preparing to go to London, gave his own comments: "What is Manchester United's problem? Dong has left. It will be difficult for Manchester United to find someone to replace him, because a superstar of this level can bring a lot, which is very difficult." Replaced.”

The reason is obvious: giants of this level only appear once or twice every few decades, so how can someone just replace them?

"The Chinese President is here, are you ready?" ", on the day Inter Milan arrived in London, "The Times" reminded the Arsenal people with an eye-catching headline on the second page.

And listed a set of terrifying statistics: "In the 11 games played by China Dong against Arsenal, he scored a total of 15 goals and is Arsenal's biggest nemesis. The only game without a goal was o7o8 In the second round of the league season, he had made gains in other games. Wenger finally looked forward to the Chinese Dong leaving England, but he did not expect that one day the Chinese Dong would come back. Who will he use to mark him tomorrow?"

Arsenal's defense is full of old acquaintances. The central defenders are Toure and Gala. Toure doesn't need much, and Gala comes from Chelsea. Neither of them has ever guarded Dong Fangzhuo.

However, "The Times" obviously believes that Arsenal's offense is a bigger problem than defense. "Henry is no longer here, who can carry the flag in the Champions League?"

In order to chase the glory of the Champions League, Henry quietly went to Barcelona and left Arsenal last summer. Now the core of the striker is Robin van Persie and Adebayor. Although Tsar Arshavin was bought in January, this guy represents His former club played in the Champions League and is not eligible to represent Arsenal this season, so Wenger can only rely on Robin van Persie and Adebayor.

Arshavin also expressed regret for not being able to represent the team against Inter Milan.

"I'm going to do everything I can to get back into the best shape as soon as possible. If I had played in Russia last Saturday, I don't think I would have a problem, but England is faster, so I have to see what I can do. How long will it take to adapt? The most painful thing for me is not being able to represent Arsenal in the Champions League."

To be honest, judging from Arshavin's performance in the game, he is definitely a weapon on the Gunners' offensive line. However, it is regrettable that Wenger has no chance to rely on this fierce player in the upcoming Champions League rematch.

In the first half of this season, Arshavin has represented Zenit in the Champions League. According to relevant UEFA regulations, a player is not allowed to represent two teams in the same UEFA competition in the same season.

The Czar is certain that it is a fact that he will miss the Champions League rematch, but Wenger believes that the relevant regulations of UEFA are completely illogical. "I'm frustrated because the team Arshavin played for has been eliminated, so in my opinion it's obviously illogical. If he can play for us in the FA Cup, why can't he play for us in the Champions League? ? His previous team has gone to the UEFA Cup, but he cannot appear in the Champions League for any team. This is the rule, so I think we have nothing to complain about because when we signed He already knew these things when he was laid off.”

Arshavin's inability to play was a natural disaster, and it was a man-made disaster that Fabregas, Theo Walcott, Eduardo, Rosicky and others were exempted from the competition. Due to the widespread injuries to the core players, Wenger even had a premonition that Arsenal would definitely not be able to win the Champions League. league. "Every time I don't win a championship, I consider it a failure. I'm here to win championships and make us the best team we can be."

"You have to see that there are 20 top clubs in Europe, and only one team can win every season, and the other 19 will be disappointed at the end of the season. My personal drive is to be the best, or to be the best." It’s about getting the team to perform at its best. At the end of the season, I always sit down and reflect, have I done this? Is this the best for my team? I always hope to be able to do it. To the best that I can do, that's why I always want to have another unbeaten season because then there's not much room for improvement."

After expressing concern about the team's Champions League prospects, Wenger turned the topic to the upcoming game: "I don't believe Inter Milan will come for o:o, they will use Italian defense to seize the opportunity to carry out a fatal blow. , they know that away goals are very important and we have to be more vigilant defensively and then look for goals at the right time.”

Judging from Wenger's remarks, in the battle with Inter Milan, containing the opponent's midfielder and Dong Fangzhuo will be the tactical focus. Previously, Wenger had handed over the midfield blocking task to Denilson. However, since the Tsar is not eligible to participate in the war, Xiaofa and Theo Walcott will still be absent due to injuries, and Nasri is not doing well recently, the Gunners' midfield attack will definitely be a difficult problem.

However, good news came from Arsenal on Tuesday. Diaby, who suffered a thigh injury this year, has returned. The reason why Diaby's comeback is very important to the Gunners is because the 451 formation is the mainstream tactic of the Gunners in the Champions League, and in this tactic, Diaby's performance is quite brilliant. He can always direct Assen in the midfield. Na's attack.

However, in the eyes of Arsenal fans, Wenger's words seemed to be making excuses for Arsenal's exit in advance.

"Does the professor think that Arsenal's Champions League journey is over just because Arshavin and Cesc Fabregas are not here?"
