Before Wenger came to Arsenal, the last time Arsenal showed dominance in the league was during Chapman's time. How many years have passed between them? Please check for yourself. In Graham's time, Arsenal performed well for a while, but played relatively conservatively. In Graham's later period, Arsenal's performance is not much different from Everton's now.
After Wenger took over, Arsenal won the double crown in the first full season, which neither Ferguson nor Mourinho did. Then Wenger and Dunn complemented each other at the club, when Arsenal had money. Wenger was optimistic about Campbell, and Dunn immediately made a decision to sign the "Judas" in the mouth of Tottenham fans with the highest salary in the Premier League. Henry was depressed at Juventus. At that time, he was just a teenager lost in the giants, and the value of players did not expand as it does now. As for the exchange rate of the pound, it was quite high at that time, and our factory bought it for 654.38+million pounds. With this financial support, Wenger immediately changed Graham's tactical style and established the most gorgeous football style in the history of our factory. In the world, Arsenal's football style is also one of the best. On the defensive end, Wenger also successfully persuaded Adams, who was drunk as mud, to make the five old defenders return to youth and build a team that can wrestle with Manchester United. If it weren't for Riley's misjudgment and Rooney's diving, our factory might even hit Milan's unbeaten record of 58 games.
Subsequently, our factory began to consider changing the stadium. Because the capacity of Highbury is only over 30,000, compared with Old Trafford, westfalen, Bernabeu and Camp Nou, this stadium is too small, which greatly affects the income of our factory. Before the stadium was built, the board of directors discussed that Dunn insisted on renting Wembley, but as you know, it is inconvenient for fans of broken factories to go to Wembley after all, and many stadiums are difficult to do without their own business, such as not watering before the game or how to repair the turf, so other directors want to build a new stadium.
At that time, Dunn's reason was clear: football is a capital game, and money+good traders = good grades = more money.
But the others are right. There are many problems when the stadium is not your own. After all, you rent it year after year. If someone suddenly refuses to rent it for you, will you go back to Highbury?
At this time, Wenger stood up and said: Even if the stadium is built, I can guarantee that the competitive level of the team will not decline.
So the stadium began to be built.
At that time, there were a few points to explain: 1. At that time, there were no big consortia in the Premier League. Our factory decided to do real estate development by itself, because we used the land mortgage loan from Highbury. When developing real estate, there was no financial crisis.
From my personal understanding, I think Wenger is ready to keep his competitive level from declining-even when Abramovich entered Chelsea and the player's value was unprecedented, Wenger still came up with a strong lineup of 07/08. If that midfielder doesn't break up, our factory will definitely win several championships. With these champions, Fabio Van Biot will not appear later. They are still General Fafan. These people can also give the midfielder Sambo time to grow up, and there will be no story that Brazil U20' s main force is forced to hit the back. I always feel that Wenger had this blueprint in those years, but unfortunately it didn't come true. ...
Even if the company is dissolved in 2007/08, I think Wenger still has a chance-as long as there is no financial crisis. The financial crisis led to the bleak sales of Highbury apartments. When our factory was struggling, other teams were still spending money like water, such as Torres, such as Berbatov.
Later, as we all know, Wenger pieced together a team that could compete for the championship for the third time under almost impossible circumstances. General Fan was in the front, Fabregas and Nasri were in charge of the midfield, and young midfielders such as Song and Wilshere were also becoming first-class stars. As a result, this lineup only played for one year, and Fabregas insisted on going home. Wenger promised that Nasri's core position was sold by the board of directors and Wilshere was seriously injured. Later, Van Persie talked to Ferguson through the national team coach in the middle of the season and left Old Trafford at the end of the season. Song Xun is determined to go to Barcelona.
I really believe the team has no money. Before the stadium was completed, the transfer record of our factory was 15M, but as time went on, the pound fell, the consortium took over and the players increased their prices. Only the transfer price of our factory remains unchanged. At that time, Wenger took a fancy to Campbell, and Dunn offered the highest salary in the Premier League with a wave of his hand, but later, even if Dunn was here, I didn't think he could be so handsome during that time.
To give a few examples: when the factory was short of midfield, Fabregas recommended Alonso, so the scandal between Alonso and Barry spread for a season or two, and finally they didn't come; The factory lacked air defense. From Hangeland to Bassoon, from Cahill to Samba, the stronger central defender in the weak teams in the Premier League was YY by us. Finally Bassoon was sold by 8M, and our factory still played for a season with two little people. There were few goalkeepers in our factory at that time How long have we been watching Schwartz? I remember correctly that I didn't buy it in the end. In the season when the czar came, it was almost impossible for the factory to enter the Champions League. That's fucking do or die. The winter transfer is a complete transfer window, which is not completed until the last day. It was the czar's salary cut (just for the sake of the czar's salary cut and factory destruction, I don't think he can say that he didn't get a well-paid job in his later stage). Is this the rich club?
The coach we are talking about has bought Campbell and Lehmann, and trained Vieira and Kolo Toure. If you say that he doesn't know what the team's weakness is and who to buy, I feel that you and I say that Degang Guo can't say that cross talk is the same. Besides, Wenger studied economics. Have you ever seen economists deposit money in the bank every day? If that's what economics students do, Wall Street should sell pancake fruit as soon as possible. Wenger 10M bought Henry, the pound of that era, and the player value of that era. As a result, some people now say that he likes to deposit money in the bank. I believe my mother did it, but I don't believe it was Wenger.
Of course, some people have many reasons, and the most convincing one is that people can change. Yes, after the substitution, Wenger used 10M to fix the metronome Arteta, brought an inexplicable central defender from France B, robbed a short Spanish midfielder while taking advantage of the fire, and got a tall German to solve the air defense problem, but failed to fix Cahill. It's like he suddenly started buying teenagers and suddenly stopped loving children-according to the person who analyzed the financial statements, the loan pressure in our factory is not that great. These two things happen at the same time, and I always feel a little connected.
Arteta was dying after 8: 02. If I remember correctly, our factory won only one or two games in the last few rounds when he was absent. That season, everyone only remembered General Fan, but Arteta, who kept our midfield rotation as usual, was rarely mentioned by the media. Now, cazorla, a short Spanish magician, has taken over Alta's position, and our factory is in the same predicament. During cazorla's injury, we didn't want to mention the goal in midfield at all. Koscielny, a reckless centre-back in French B, has grown into one of the best centre-backs this season in recent years. Motsack, everyone complains that he is too slow. Needless to say, he protects the set pieces. Even when our factory is on high defense, his overall situation and prediction are enough to be written into textbooks (hanging by fancy is inevitable ...). You will understand the number of goals conceded by our factory this season.
If we compare the transfer investment of our factory and other clubs during that period, and then compare the performance fluctuations of other clubs that built stadiums, I think no one has done better than Wenger in the whole history of football. Later, our factory finally broke the transfer record and bought Ozil and Sanchez. I bought Cech at the bottom again. What is the role of world-class stars is obvious to all.
Wenger has proved before that taking over a similar team can greatly enhance the strength of the team after one or two seasons; When he can spend money, he can make an unbeaten lineup; Later, I sold a few main players and reached the Champions League final. Later, the player was sky-high and he had no money to spend. The team was still stable and could play in the Champions League. Later, a new wave of his frontcourt (Nasri, Fabregas, Van Persie, Song) came out, the running-in period of the team seemed endless, and the factory still stumbled to play the Champions League. Now Wenger will continue to prove whether a self-sufficient team can work miracles under the golden football.
In my years of watching football, the best coaches in the world often create achievements that others can't achieve:
1. Taking over the team can immediately improve the performance (Mourinho, 97/98 Wenger)
2. Be able to know people and be good at their duties, tap the potential of young players, and achieve good results by focusing on cultivating young players (Ajax, Fan Jiaer, Ferguson, Grade 92. 07/08 Eduardo broke his leg and Wenger failed)
3. Build a top team and remain unbeaten for a long time (AC Milan, 03/04 Arsenal, Juventus)
4. Keep the team competitive all the year round regardless of internal and external pressure (Ferguson, Wenger)
5. Change the style of the league by your own efforts (Guardiola, Mourinho, Wenger. To be honest, Guardiola has left others far away at this point, partly because his tactical style is really advanced, and the overall transmission and control technology is too high. There must be a bottle opener like Messi, otherwise it is too easy to be restrained, even if it is better than Bayern's repeated defeats in the Champions League in recent years. Mourinho explained in detail why 45 1 was used and how to press the ball out of the front waist to gain an advantage over the mainstream 442 at that time. Wenger introduced the technology stream in the Premier League and used the wing front waist for the first time, which really changed the style of the Premier League. )
6. Winning the Champions League (all the coaches mentioned above. Wenger won the second place. Well, this is for black Wenger)
Wenger has done all these things, at least close to success, and these things can usually be done by everyone playing FM. But one thing, I don't play nuclear weapons in FM, I can't do it, and Wenger did it-he won the Champions League 16 for many years in a row when the club had no money and kept selling core players.
Of course, Wenger did create many "miracles". I only said the score, so you should understand, 4:4 8:2 6:0. But I really think these are mentioned repeatedly because Wenger has done so well that the media and some fans have forgotten how good he really is. Uncle Zha led Bumblebee, and Simone led Atletico Madrid and won the runner-up in the Champions League, which was repeatedly mentioned. But don't forget, first, they have no economic pressure; Second, the local goblins in Bundesliga and La Liga are much more powerful than the Premier League; Third, Bundesliga has a natural attraction to small monsters in Eastern Europe, while La Liga has a natural attraction to small monsters in South America. Fourth, there is no work permit. In other words, they can dig little demons and spend much more money than our factory; The pressure of selling core players is much less than that of our factory. Even if the players are sold, the money is used to supplement the lineup, not to repay the loan. In this case, Wenger still won the runner-up in the Champions League.
People are always amazed at the sudden rise and fall of the dynasty, but turn a blind eye to some secular things in life. I think Wenger has turned this miracle into a boring miracle. For example, people have become accustomed to the fact that our factory is a team that can compete for the championship, ignoring Wenger's great contribution.
I'm not trying to whitewash Wenger. He has a lot of questions. We always lose some finals. I believe this is not accidental. He never arranged tactics against opponents, whether it was violence or Manchester United. Even though it was obvious that seven defenders were playing defenders, he didn't see any tactical adjustment. In a few seasons, if he can strategically give up some games instead of fighting on multiple lines, maybe there will be no cobwebs in the trophy room of the broken factory; If he hadn't chosen Gallas as captain, our factory might have been more stable in those years and wouldn't have collapsed at the end of the season. ...
Now facing the score of 0-2, I don't think he will come off the bench at Camp Nou. Our factory may miss an excellent opportunity to win the championship again because of injury and fatigue. But considering Wenger's contribution to our factory, I don't think anyone can do better in this position. Whether he wins the Champions League or not, he is one of the best coaches in the world in my heart. And I think he has surpassed Chapman and become the best head coach in the history of our factory.
Finally, Wenger's name is Arthur Arsena, and our factory is Arsenal. Some stories really feel destiny takes a hand.
