October 3rd.
The first clash between Arsenal and Chelsea this season arrived.
At the pre-match press conference, Wenger and Ancelotti began their verbal sparring.
"We were the Premier League Champions last season, but what about Arsenal?"
"Since 2004, they haven't touched the League title again."
"This shows that the current Arsenal team does not have the ability to win the League championship."
"I respect Arsène very much, he is a truly top coach, but what I said is also the truth."
Ancelotti, known for being a nice guy, uncharacteristically started firing shots at Arsenal right away.
However, given that every word he said was true, the Fleet Street reporters nodded in agreement.
"Carlo, what do you think of Fly? He said in an interview last month that he had reserved the Premier League Golden Boot this season."
Hearing this, Ancelotti smiled slightly, not directly responding to the reporter's words:
"This child is excellent. Anyone who understands football knows that a teenager under 18 scoring four goals in the Champions League and 11 goals in 5 League games is an unprecedented rookie performance."
"Of course, in this match, my players and I will teach this child an unforgettable lesson. I hope he will like it."
Ancelotti said nothing about the Premier League Golden Boot.
Because based on the current situation, Fly will most likely win the Premier League Golden Boot this season.
The reason is simple: the second-highest goal scorers in the League, Drogba and Berbatov, only have 4 goals each.
But what about Fly?
11 goals!
The gap was simply too wide. Ancelotti didn't want to lie with his eyes open, but he couldn't directly admit it either.
Otherwise, it would undoubtedly be a blow to the players in his team who wanted to compete for the Premier League Golden Boot!
They would think: "My Boss doesn't even support me, and thinks the Golden Boot has already been reserved by someone else, so why should I work so hard?"
This kind of blow to confidence can easily be reflected in the players' actual performance on the field.
Ancelotti, being an old hand, naturally wouldn't bring trouble upon his own team.
Facing Ancelotti's provocation, Wenger once again showed his gentle and elegant Professor demeanor:
"Carlo is a good man. I believe his remarks are due to the pressure Mr. Roman Abramovich is putting on him."
"We all know that Mr. Roman Abramovich is very eager for the Champions League, but I want to say that he is too impatient."
"Chelsea has become a top team from an ordinary Premier League team in just a few years. Mr. Roman Abramovich has been very successful."
"The Champions League is ultimately a cup competition, and cup competitions always have an element of luck."
"Many times, the stronger side will be eliminated by the weaker side, which is very common."
"Only League competitions with a 38-game system can truly reflect a team's overall strength."
"From this perspective, Chelsea has won three Premier League titles since Mr. Roman Abramovich took over, which can be said to be very successful."
"Therefore, I feel that Mr. Roman Abramovich is too impatient."
"One José, one Carlo, two champion coaches who have won the Champions League. Their abilities are beyond doubt."
"Mr. Roman Abramovich should give Carlo more time instead of pressuring him."
The Fleet Street reporters, hearing Arsène Wenger's blatant lies, had to lament that Ancelotti was still young and far less skilled than an old fox like Wenger.
Wenger's remarks seemed very friendly on the surface, but in reality, they were full of malicious intentions.
Who in the entire Premier League didn't know the Russian oligarch's personality?
Spending money like water, recruiting players like crazy without caring about the cost.
And then there was his impatience, demanding that the coach must win the Champions League as soon as possible.
He even liked to arrange a few players he favored for the Chelsea coach from time to time, completely disregarding whether they were suitable or not.
The previous José Mourinho was a typical victim.
Although Ancelotti had already won the Premier League title in his first season coaching Chelsea.
But for Roman Abramovich, this was far from enough!
Without the Champions League, he would not be satisfied!
Wenger's malicious instigation was intended to create conflict between Roman Abramovich and Ancelotti.
As long as the conflict between the Boss and the coach was ignited, Chelsea would not be a threat this season.
Wenger would even prefer to lose this game in exchange for Roman Abramovich and Ancelotti falling out.
Losing one game is only 3 points.
If Chelsea had internal conflict, it's unknown how many 3-point losses they would suffer.
Wenger was not incapable of doing such simple math.
After the pre-match press conference, Arsène Wenger went straight to the away team's locker room, instructed the Arsenal players, and then led by Fly, the players in the locker room cheered together.
Wenger noticed this and felt it was somewhat unexpected.
When did Fly become so influential?
It can only be said that in competitive football, strength determines everything!
Fly had already subdued the Arsenal players with his performances in August and September.
Even Chamakh, who was previously indignant, no longer had any other thoughts.
He was already used to being a substitute for Van Persie.
He finally waited for Van Persie to get injured, but then came Fly Adams, who was N times more monstrous than Van Persie.
Chamakh said he was truly born at the wrong time!
Question: When you are a substitute for a striker who averages 2+ goals per game, what can you do to usurp power?
Answer: Unless he gets injured, or by colluding with the club's upper management to compete as a 'connected' player.
Question: What if this striker has never been injured in the past three years, and the upper management are all his father's subordinates?
Answer: Then why bother trying to usurp anything! Either honestly work as a subordinate for the big shot, or seek a transfer and leave.
Chamakh is currently in this state, giving up, accepting his fate, whatever happens, happens.
Anyway, he can't compete with this monster Fly!
He also doesn't want to leave Arsenal, after all, a big club provides exposure.
If he leaves Arsenal, there won't be another big club to take him in.
He knows all about these things.
Did you really think Chamakh was stupid enough to try to hit a rock with an egg when he saw that Fly's dominance was established?
Please! The reason Chamakh was initially unconvinced was purely because he wanted to start, plus he hadn't recognized Fly's strength.
Now that he has recognized it, the true god was right beside me. Could it be that I, Chamakh, wouldn't think about hugging the big thigh but instead go against it?
Did I turn into Dave and have my brain eaten by zombies!
