Chapter 19 Complacency in Arsenal

"I'm glad we can continue to win in a row, and I'm glad you've grasped your destiny." Although Arsenal won and the Gunners still maintained a record of winning the new season, Wenger's face was very bad at this time, and the Gunners no longer had the ease and excitement he had after winning before.

"Can you tell me what you are thinking now? Championship? Victory? Or exposure, commercial sponsorship?" Wenger was really unhappy about the problems exposed by the team in this game. He now thinks it's time to cool down the Arsenal players, because the psychological situation shown by the Arsenal players in this game is really wrong. "Yes, we have won five consecutive games now, and we have almost won the league leader. But look at what you have done, is it time for you to relax and complacent like this?"

"You are the defending champions, not only the defending champions of the league, but also the defending champions of the Champions League. You achieved excellent results last season, and you are the best team. So you can be proud now and see our performance in the new season; wow, the league has won five consecutive victories and the Champions League has also had a big victory. We can always easily win the game. We don't need to worry about the performance of our opponents, because they can do nothing when facing Arsenal. We can easily crush them and win them easily. This is our season, and we can easily win and win the championship!" Wenger's words made Arsenal players blush. Of course, the Gunners knew that Wenger's bare irony was because of their dissatisfaction with the players.

Although Arsenal won the final victory in this game, it is of course worthy of happiness to win, and the winning opponent makes people feel extremely exciting. However, these cannot cover up the shortcomings exposed by Arsenal in this game. Or the reason why this game has become so difficult is entirely because of the relaxation and carelessness of the players.

It has to be admitted that the mentality of Arsenal players has changed. First of all, the Gunners' lineup is generally relatively young; for young people, their concentration may not be very strong, and there are too many temptations now. When success and fame have a considerable income, many young people will be lost at this time.

Moreover, the Gunners won the league championship last season and ended the embarrassment of not having a championship for four years. They even created the team's history and won the first Big Ear Cup in one fell swoop. So almost all the summer they gained were congratulations and cheers. At this time, even the calm players would be a little complacent, not to mention that this was the young Gunners. Most of them held up the championship trophy for the first time.

Although that was just an honor last season, it did give the Gunners more confidence and also made them start to position themselves higher. Just like the media and fans, Arsenal is a favorite to win the championship in the new season, whether in the Champions League or in the league, because Arsenal has a championship guarantee, so theirs should be higher, so they naturally should have better results.

Fans and media have higher expectations for Arsenal, so the Gunners are naturally the same; for them, they enjoy the glory of last season. They have set their goals in the new season, at least they don’t think that they will have worse results than last season at this time. They think they should strive for more honors.

Arsenal has been smooth sailing since the new season, and they have won consecutive victories before, and they have continued to win big wins; this has indeed greatly encouraged the morale and confidence of the players. Of course, it is inevitable that the Gunners have also lost a little in this series of big wins. A series of big wins have made the Gunners not prepare for the game, and they are now somewhat contemptuous of their opponents because they are blindly confident about the strength of their own teams. They believe that those teams cannot bring too many difficulties to the team. They believe that Arsenal can easily tear open the defenses of those opponents and keep winning.

However, in this game, Arsenal was taught a lesson, and they were hit hard by their pride and complacency. Although it is not a secret that Arsenal's defense is insufficient, the players are actually prepared for the team's conceding goals. However, the team's efforts are all the best but still being broken by the opponent is very different from the team's careless concealment. It is considered a shame for the players to concede the goal if they don't play seriously and hard enough.

In this game, Arsenal did not perform hard enough on the defensive end, and the goal was conceded because the defenders were not focused enough, and even took it for granted. So Arsenal was equalized by the opponent, and even almost ended the winning streak. The main midfielder Alexander Song had two consecutive yellow cards not only defended with all his strength, but more importantly, he was too careless in the game, and he did not pay attention to his opponent at all. Therefore, he won yellow cards in a row for a risky foul, so he accumulated yellow cards at the beginning of the second half and was sent off.

As for the left-back Krishna, he was even more playing with fire. He was not serious enough when clearing the ball. The careless clearance is an unforgivable mistake for a defender, because once the defender makes a mistake, it is very likely that the opponent will seize the opportunity and easily get the chance to score. This is how Arsenal is. A careless clearance was tied by the opponent, and Arsenal almost had to take away a draw because of it.

Arsenal not only performed casually on the defensive end in this game, but also performed very casually in this game. The Gunners really underestimated the opponent and relaxed. Although Arsenal did score two goals in this game, although they failed to win, in terms of data and scores, it seems that two goals are satisfactory. However, during the game, the Gunners' lazy performance made people angry. When they took up a lot of initiative, casual shots and too many singles made the team unable to get more opportunities.

It was indeed the previous big wins that made the Gunners arrogant. Of course they knew that the team's offensive ability was quite terrifying. Of course they knew that Arsenal is the best offensive team representative now. So the Gunners never worry about the team's goals. They think they have the ability to tear open the defense line of any opponent and easily score the goal.

But looking at this game, when the expansion of the lead was wasted again and again, when the opponent equalized the score and could only launch a strong attack, Arsenal really did not have a stable and mature performance. The Gunners were complacent because of a series of victories, and now they became very self-respected because of those victories and honors.

So the Gunners got a lesson, they were hit hard in this game, they just struggled with some lucky ball components to win this game.

Although he became the best in the game, although Xiao Qing scored a goal to increase his personal goals to eight goals, Xiao Qing was not happy at this time. He took a shower silently and sat in the locker room in a daze. At this time, there was nothing to be proud of because of the team's poor performance and some of his previous unrealistic over-relaxation.

Arsenal players did not mean to hold a locker room meeting at this time. Of course, they all knew that the team's performance in this game was disappointing, and of course they also knew that the team had begun to show some negative emotions unknowingly. Although they all knew that this was the team's enemy and Arsenal had to adjust back at this time; but there was really no nervousness as if it was facing a big enemy. The Gunners had learned a lesson, they would correct it, and they would burst out in silence.

The unhappy Gunners returned to London and did not joke and quarrel along the way. Although they had won five consecutive league games, the Gunners did not celebrate at all. They now need to prove themselves again and make a good summary of their thoughts.

"Have you watched our game? Isn't it disappointing?" After returning to London, Xiao Qing came to Pixie's apartment in a low-key manner. After taking a shower, Xiao Qing was still in a daze. This victory had a great impact on Xiao Qing.

"It's not bad, it's very exciting. Dear, you're amazing, that's a decisive kill! You know I was about to suffocate at that time, but your performance was really crazy." Pixie obviously didn't know what Xiao Qing was thinking. She just thought Xiao Qing didn't win a big victory. She didn't know the current Arsenal crisis.

"Apart from the excitement, have you seen that our offense has no rules and our players look like walking on the court? Of course, we are the defending champions, and Sunderland can't pose a threat to us. So we won the victory, won five consecutive league wins, and killed our opponents. This really looks good." Xiao Qing smiled and hugged Pixie. Xiao Qing was really upset about his carelessness and underestimation of the enemy.

"What's wrong? You won the victory! Xiao, that goal lost has nothing to do with you, it's your teammates' performance that is not good. You are Arsenal's hero. You defeated your opponent, and it's you who helped Arsenal continue to win in a row!" People in love are blind. Pixie can only see Xiao Qing's goodness, and Xiao Qing seems to perform very well because he defeated his opponent and helped the team win.

"I really don't have much common language with you, an amateur fan, and you really don't understand more advanced topics." Xiao Qing's words made Pixi angry and angry. He was dissatisfied with Xiao Qing's teasing Pixi and pinched and kicked.
