Red Rebels

Eva Snow was born in a drama family. Her mother was a well-known drama actor in the UK, and her father was a drama director. This made Eva come into contact with acting early and fell in love with acting.

At first, Eva just participated in some drama performances, but because of her acting talent, she was brought into the film industry by a British director. Since then, she has been out of control. She even majored in film in college, but it was not acting, but She is a director. It is said that she once thought of directing a film by herself.

Christmas is here, and the parents who are away have returned to London one after another. The grandfather is the only old man in the family, so no matter how busy they are, they will spend time together every year.

When Xiao Yu saw the old man, his first impression was kindness!

That kind of feeling is very wonderful, as if a person is alone in a far away strange place and meets a familiar old man from his hometown, that kind of joy, that kind of excitement... can't be described in words!

The old man is a very pure Chinese. He came to England when he was young, married an English woman as his wife, and gave birth to Eva's mother, and then Eva Snow.

I am old and not in good health, but I am surprisingly fond of sports, especially football!

The old man who has lived in London for most of his life is a fan of Arsenal. This makes Eva's parents a little worried, for fear that the fans of the two rival teams will quarrel, but who would have thought that they hit it off.

Xiao Yu is very friendly when he sees Chinese people, and the old man is obviously too!

As soon as the two met, they started talking about their hometown, using Chinese. The old man’s hometown is in the north, and Xiao Yu’s hometown is in the south. The two of them talked about the things in their hometowns very well, and they could hear hearty laughter from time to time. Voice.

Eva was with Xiao Yu and learned a lot of Chinese. She was beside her as an interpreter for her parents.

I don't know how long we talked, but gradually, the topic began to return to football.

"Arsenal is in very good form this season. They performed well against strong teams, but there are too many draws against underdogs. Otherwise, we should be at the top of the standings now!" The old man said in a very loyal tone to Arsenal.

Xiao Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "Our state this season is not bad either!"

"But your performance against strong teams is not convincing. Look at how difficult your two games against Liverpool and Manchester United were. It was better against Chelsea, but you are at home!" The old man is obviously very talented. Analytical ability, he answered affirmatively, as if he was afraid that Xiao Yu would doubt his memory.

"However, Arsenal is not without flaws. Whether it is Gilberto Silva or Vieira, the midfielder is more than tough, but not delicate enough, which leads to Arsenal's frontcourt and backcourt. There are always problems in the transition of offense and defense. , Wenger clings to 442 and refuses to let go, now this strategy has begun to fall behind, 4231 is the kingly way, whoever controls the midfield, whoever is king!"

"In addition, Arsenal's defense line Ashley Cole is absent. Campbell, Seagan, and Keown are not trustworthy masters, especially the latter two. In addition, Arsenal's internal conflicts are not small recently, just like the previous ones. Like Manchester United, Campbell's salary is too high, and now he has to renew his contract and raise his salary, it's no wonder that Pires, Henry, Vieira and others don't make trouble!"

In the previous life, many people thought that Arsenal should be very united and tenacious this season when they won the championship undefeated. Disputes and other conflicts.

Of course, winning the championship undefeated under such difficult circumstances further reflects the rarity of Arsenal's undefeated championship in the previous life.

Why did Campbell join rivals Arsenal?

Not for anything else, just because Arsenal offered him a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds, which was higher than Beckham's 90,000 weekly salary. Now that the contract has passed two and a half years, Campbell has performed well, and Arsenal I desperately hope to renew the contract, but according to the rules, if the contract is renewed, the weekly salary will be increased again.

After all, Campbell is only 29 years old.

However, the salaries of Henry and Vieira are only 80,000 and 90,000 pounds a week. Campbell’s salary has been kept in mind by Henry and others. Vieira almost made a fuss about going to Real Madrid, and there is another one who performed equally well. If Pires renews Campbell's contract and raises his salary, what will happen to other Arsenal players?

Pires publicly bombarded Arsenal's salary structure before, thinking that Arsenal's salary structure did not give enough recognition to the players who made contributions, saying that his and Henry's salaries were not linked to their performance.

If Xiao Yu remembers correctly, Campbell in his previous life should have come to Arsenal on a free transfer, and then left on a free transfer.

As Xiao Yu said before, running a club is very complicated. Just the salary structure of the players is enough to make people scratch their heads, let alone other things.

In the past few years, there have been no disputes over salary, and there has always been an impression of solidarity inside and outside, and Xiao Yu's efforts to maintain the salary structure have played a vital role.

Beckham is undoubtedly the top salary. He is a vital member of the team. Needless to say, De Rossi, Villa, Vidic and others are also crucial.

In addition to salaries, bonuses are also very generous. Last year's UEFA Cup and FA Cup bonuses were all rewarded to the players. Among them, the FA Cup bonus was 2 million pounds. The club did not keep any money, just kept Including the FA's broadcast fee share and sponsorship share, it is about 2 million pounds.

But the team was promoted to the Premier League, and Xiao Yu gave the team a generous upgrade bonus. With so many rewards, every player can get at least two to three hundred thousand pounds in rewards.

This allowed all the players that the team wanted to keep to stay, otherwise, they would really break up as the outside world said.

…………… The old man, like the vast majority of Arsenal fans, is unwilling to admit that Arsenal will fail, even if they defeated Arsenal last year, but that was the FA Cup final, and now they are sitting in Haib inside the stadium.

Arsenal's home record this season is 7 wins and 1 tie, which is the team with the best home record among Premier League teams; Arsenal's away record is 9 wins and 1 tie, which is the team with the best away record, but it is 5 wins at home 2 tied some points.

The home dragons played against the away dragons, which is undoubtedly another big gimmick for the outside world to call Arsenal and this game.

Outside fans paid as much attention to this game as the Red Devils Derby. Sky TV even included this game as the main live broadcast of this round, sending a pair of commentators Andy Gray and Martin Taylor. The combination that TV stations like to use when broadcasting live games.

"This is undoubtedly the most severe test for this season. The two teams have remained unbeaten so far. The players have been under great pressure both psychologically and physically. Especially, as a team Newly promoted, their performance in the first half was amazing enough, but whether they can transform or not depends on their performance in this game!"

Martin Taylor is undoubtedly worried about his trip to Highbury Stadium. Hardly any team can take even the slightest advantage at Highbury Stadium this season, and no team can beat it here. Arsenal.

"That's right, both Manchester United and Liverpool suffered big losses and were almost defeated, but in the end they both withstood the pressure and defeated their opponents, but this game is different because their opponent is their old enemy Arsenal. !"

"When interviewed by the media before the game, Wenger said that he would get rid of the shame of last season's FA Cup final in this game. At that time, he beat Arsenal to win the championship, which led to Arsenal's failure last season. Now Wenger Grid obviously hopes to defeat with a hearty victory."

Andy Gray was clearly happy to see this kind of provocative pre-match spat, grinning from ear to ear.

"Wenger's starting lineup for this game is still 442, the goalkeeper is Lehmann, the central defender combination is Campbell and Sigan, the right back is Lauren, the left back is Chrissy, Ashley Cole because of one time Suspension due to brutal foul, Gilberto Silva and Vieira in midfield, Pires and Ljungberg as wingers, Henry and Bergkamp as strikers."

Martin Taylor looked solemn, "Except for Ashley Cole, this is Arsenal's strongest main lineup!"

Andy Gray nodded and said: "Yes, this is also a lineup that makes all the Premier League teams terrified. On the other hand, the personnel are relatively neat. The injured Garner midfielder Essien also returned from injury, and the main central defender John? John Terry is suspended and Serbian centre-back Nemanja Vidic will start in his place."

"This is also a hidden danger. Vidic is a player with strong air defense and confrontation ability, but he is a little rough in handling the ball. Curtis is very stable, but he is too young. The partner of these two players will be the best player in this game. A hidden danger." Martin Taylor analyzed.

"I wonder if Mourinho will make certain adjustments to the main lineup?" Andy Gray asked with a smile.

"Should be!" Martin Taylor said with a fan.

"As a newly promoted team, his team is undoubtedly mouth-watering, not to mention the superstars like Beckham in the team, Kaka, Palacio, Drogba, Essien, Terry, Kolo ? Toure, Evra, etc., which one is not a super star, these players are the main force in any team in the Premier League!"

"In addition, Ronaldinho, Robben, Franck Ribery, Messi, Curtis and other stars are all outstanding talents. As long as this lineup is kept stable, I believe that in the next ten years, the Premier League and even the European arena will be the best. The most threatening team in the world!"

Andy Gray nodded in agreement, Leeds United has fallen, and now ranks last in the league, losing consecutive games, the financial crisis has completely collapsed this youth army, but younger and more powerful than Leeds United have stood up Yes, this is a team that many professionals place high hopes on, it has been since the year before last!

"Many newly promoted horses started to sign up heavily as soon as they were promoted to the Premier League, but often such teams did not perform well. For example, the most obvious one was Manchester City before. They were relegated in the first Premier League season after signing up heavily. On the other hand, With Hleb and Juninho gone, Beckham and Cesc Fabregas came in, the overall strength of the team was not affected much, coupled with the tacit cooperation between the players, so as soon as they were promoted to the Premier League, they immediately Form a strong fighting force!"

"However, Andy, half a season has passed, and now is the critical moment to start testing the strength, and at the same time, testing the quality of the top team!" Martin Taylor analyzed with concern.

Just at this time, the starting list of the Chinese team was delivered to Andy Gray. He glanced at it and was surprised!
