Post-match press conference,

Wenger sat on the podium with a serious face.

Reporters from various countries in the audience raised their hands like crazy.

Wenger knew what these reporters wanted to ask. News had already arrived: Messi had been diagnosed and would miss three or four weeks of games. This was no less than an earthquake for the football world.

Who is Messi?

That is the Lamborghini Hermès of football, and although Xia Qi has become famous this season, it is only a Porsche Cayenne at best.

There is still a big gap compared with Messi.

Moreover, people are accustomed to sympathize with the "weak", and they will sympathize with those who are miserable.

Wenger saw the crowds of hands in the audience begging to be asked questions, and he could imagine the kind of public condemnation Xia Qi would face.

He had to do something for the "little friends".

Clicked an extremely excited Spanish reporter.

"Hello Mr. Wenger, I am Joe John, a reporter from Marca."

"Hello, Joe!"

"First of all, congratulations to your Arsenal for reaching the semi-finals for the first time in eight years. This is the second best result in Arsenal's history."

"What I want to ask is, Xia Qi's second yellow card. It is reported that Messi will miss three to four weeks of the game because of this. Should this kind of retaliatory shovel be condemned?"

revenge?

condemn?

The thief's bite is three points deep into the bone!

These people don't care about football at all. What they want is sensational news and how to attract people's attention.

Wenger took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart!

"Arsenal Club has always opposed stadium violence and has zero tolerance for stadium violence."

boom!

The audience exploded!

Could it be? Is the professor going to exterminate the family in a righteous way?

The reporters in the audience began to whisper and put their hands on their laptop keyboards.

On stage, Wenger continued:

"The person who put the shovel in retaliation was not Xia Qi but Messi, who you want to bring justice for."

"Yes, you heard it right, the person who should be condemned is Messi, not Xia Qi."

boom!

There was another explosion in the audience,

Is this a mutual exchange of sewage?

Many Western media reporters couldn't help but stand up, with unusually angry expressions on their faces.

Wenger made a calming gesture to them.

"Gentlemen and ladies, don't worry, let's watch the replay together. Only pictures can tell the truth. Let's speak with facts."

Wenger took out a USB flash drive and motioned to Pat Rice to bring up the laptop and projector.

"Gentlemen and ladies, this is the 37th minute of the first half. Xia Qi completed overtaking on the outside lane. Messi shoveled Xia Qi on the side.

From this slow motion, we can see that Messi's left foot was not aimed at the football at the beginning, but at Xia Qi's right ankle. "

"In other words, his purpose was not to defend but to injure."

A reporter in the audience couldn't help shouting: "You are so slanderous!"

Wenger was not angry either. He said to Pat Rice: "Replay the action just now from multiple angles."

Technology is so good now that it makes "crime" nowhere to escape.

The reporter in the audience defended: "Messi never did it intentionally. Everyone knows that defense is not his strong point."

Wenger on the stage didn't argue with him, because you can't wake up someone who is pretending to sleep.

He continued on the podium:

"Then, he kicked Xia Qi's ankle. Instead of hurting Xia Qi, he was injured himself. Please tell me, is Xia Qi responsible for his injury?"

In the audience, the reporters who supported Xia Qi sneered. It was so funny, a typical example of harming others and yourself.

Reporters who supported Messi instantly blushed and lowered their heads.

That Qiao John thought for a while, stood up and retorted: "Mr. Wenger, I'm asking about Xia Qi's shoveling."

"Don't worry, I will play Xia Qi's tackle. Let's smooth things out in chronological order first..."

"Messi's first injury has nothing to do with Xia Qi. Do you agree?"

The audience fell silent.

If you try to shovel others, you will be shocked and hurt yourself, and no one will be affected.

Everyone in the room nodded unanimously, expressing their approval of Wenger's statement.

Wenger signaled Pat Rice to play the second clip.

"This was Messi's shovel in the 58th minute of the second half. This kick went towards Xia Qi's feet."

"Frankly speaking, Messi's tackle was very standard and there was nothing wrong with it."

"Next, please take a look at the next set of pictures."

"Please note that after Xia Qi sent the football, he jumped up to protect himself. This action was for self-protection, and it was not a dangerous action in itself. Do you agree?"

Wenger looked around the audience and asked.

After communicating with each other, the reporters in the audience nodded in approval.

"Due to inertia, Messi's body rushed forward. Then his chest inevitably hit Xia Qi's knee. Who should be responsible for this accident?"

Wenger looked down the stage and the reporters looked at each other in confusion. The two of them collided, blaming no one for being suitable.

When Wenger saw no one answered, he asked himself:

"If you ask me, my answer is Mr. Newton."

Many reporters in the audience laughed out loud.

Indeed, in this accident, neither party had any subjective intention to hurt anyone. The reason why a "car accident scene" occurred was really due to Newton's mechanics.

"Now let's take a look at Xia Qi's tackle, which is what you are most concerned about."

Many reporters in the audience laughed sheepishly, but they immediately sat up straight. The time to fight had arrived.

"From the slow-motion replay, we clearly saw that Xia Qi's right foot was shoveling on the football. There was no direct contact with any part of Messi's body, and Xia Qi also made a movement to retract his foot. .”

"Pat, go back 3 spaces."

"Gentlemen, this is the action. These three frames together are Xia Qi's foot-retracting action. According to the rules of football, when a player first tackles the football and then someone, and has the action of retracting his foot, it is a good goal. "

"In other words, Xia Qi was misjudged and he should not have been sent off with a double yellow."

In the audience, John Qiao shouted unconvinced: "But Messi is injured."

Wenger smiled confidently and said to Qiao John: "You asked this question very well."

"Injury is not the basis for penalties on the football field. If a player falls down without contact, can the home team be sentenced to a violation? Because they are detrimental to the home lawn management?"

Wenger asked the reporters in the audience to digest the information first, and then continued after a few seconds: "Xia Qi did not have direct contact with Messi, which means that the force he exerted on Messi was allowed by the rules."

"Excuse me, since Xia Qi's actions are allowed by the rules, what is his fault?"

The reporters in the audience were buzzing!

"Then the question is, Messi has been out for nearly a month because he was tackled, so who is responsible for this incident?"

"A, Xia Qi! B, Messi! C, Barcelona team doctor, D, Tito Vilanova. I don't know your choice, my answer is C."

"I have said that Xia Qi is not responsible for this accident. His tackle was very clean. Messi cannot withstand this confrontation and can only find the reason within himself."

"I think the Barcelona doctor's decision to allow an unhealthy Messi to play was the main culprit for Messi's absence from subsequent games."

"I strongly suggest that Barcelona immediately invite two team doctors back from Japan. With their help, Mr. Messi will quickly return to health."

"At the same time, I also announced on behalf of the club that we will appeal to UEFA for Xia Qi's yellow card, and at the same time appeal for Messi's first tackle. We believe that Messi's first tackle was only a yellow card, which is not enough. of…"

There are pictures and the truth!

Comparison is harmful! The British reporters in the audience gave warm applause to Wenger who was justified.

Wenger's press conference was a huge success.

The news after the game also verified this.

The media no longer blame Xia Qi.

Some media, including some Spanish media, sided with Xia Qi.

"Boss Mei, lose both games and people." 》

"Arsene Wenger: Barcelona veterinarian takes responsibility for Messi's injury." 》

"The truth: Messi is the thug on the court. 》

Of course, there are still those who accuse Xia Qi.

Xia Qi is not RMB and it is impossible for everyone to like him.

"Xia Qi: Is he a football prince or a football devil?" 》

"Arsenal bloodbathed Camp Nou, Messi was brutally murdered. 》

"Wenger cleared his beloved disciple and did not hesitate to throw dirty water on Messi. 》

The controversy over Messi's injury also caused a stir on the Internet, but the biggest beneficiary turned out to be the crowd--Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo was able to gain 100,000 followers every day in the following week.

Many people who were originally plum fans turned away from their fans and became Luo fans after learning the truth.

These news overshadowed the news of Arsenal's promotion, and one can't help but lament the power of gossip news.

...

...

The next day, the second legs of the other two Champions League quarter-finals also ended.

The final four were: Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.

On the third night, Wenger flew to Nyon, firstly to participate in the semi-final draw, and secondly to apply to UEFA for Xia Qi's yellow card.

At the draw ceremony, Arsenal's luck was really drunk!

The strongest team, Real Madrid, was actually drawn, and the order was first the host and then the guest.

This means that the winner of this group is very likely to be the final champion, because whether it is Dortmund in the Bundesliga or Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, they are just shy of the championship.

The British media described Arsenal as having a bumpy journey to the Champions League, and also suggested that the club's operations manager be allowed to attend the Champions League draw next season.

Wenger's luck really stinks.

Not only did Arsenal win the lottery, but their appeal was rejected by UEFA, which means that Xia Qi will miss Arsenal's home game against Real Madrid.

It can be said that Wenger's trip to Nyon achieved nothing.

This result is also detrimental to Manchester United, which is four points behind Arsenal.

If Arsenal withdraws from the Champions League prematurely, they will concentrate on playing in the league, which is certainly not good news for Manchester United who want to chase points.

In the same way, Xia Qi, who has been suspended for one game in the Champions League, will definitely become the main force in the league. This is also the last thing Manchester United wants to see.

So when the news came back to the UK, the British media howled in support of Arsenal's continued appeal. Frankly speaking, the British media had never been so united, not even when they regained the sovereignty of the Falklands.

The bookmaker has increased Arsenal's odds of winning the Champions League by two pa and lowered Arsenal's odds of winning the Premier League by three pa. It is said that Ferguson worked overtime at the Carrington base that night...

European media have also published predictions. Most media predict that Arsenal will stop in the semi-finals, and Real Madrid and Dortmund will meet in the final.

These media believe that the biggest gain for Arsenal this season is that the Premier League champions and Xia Qi will win the Champions League, Premier League, and European Golden Boot awards. This is not a fruitless season.

Of course, there are different voices. For example, the London Daily predicted that Arsenal will win the Champions League. His point of view is very simple. The team that can eliminate Bayern and Barcelona will certainly be qualified to win the championship.

However, Arsenal's main scorer, Xia Qi, will miss one round of the game, which is fatal. So there was very little support for the London Daily News.

A few days later, the 4rd round of the Premier League started on April 14.

Arsenal defeated Norwich 3:1 at home.

Stoke lost 0:2 to Manchester United.

In the Premier League standings, the difference between Arsenal and Manchester United is still four points.

After the game, Arsenal received an official announcement from UEFA rejecting Arsenal's second appeal.

Arsenal and the British media were furious, but there was nothing they could do. The London Daily even bluntly said: Wenger's biggest mistake was not sending a "godson" to UEFA...

The words were quite intense, but they didn't change anything.

Arsenal and Manchester United will make up the 4th round of the Premier League on April 18.

Xia Qi, who was unable to play in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, took all his grievances on Everton at home and once again staged a brutal performance.

Eaten a dragon alive three times, beating Everton on both offense and defense.

Arsenal finally defeated Everton from afar with a score of 5:0.

And Manchester United was hit hard again.

They drew 2:2 with West Ham away from home.

Six points behind Arsenal in the Premier League standings.

British and European media have said that although there are still five rounds of Premier League games left, Manchester United can theoretically overtake Arsenal, but in fact it is unlikely.

That night Ferguson announced that if he could not win the championship this season, he would postpone his retirement plan, and history began to turn a corner here.

If something good happens, the reporter will interview Van Persie: As soon as you left Arsenal, Arsenal touched the championship trophy with one hand. Is it because of you that Arsenal have not won a championship for so many years?

Van Persie took out a wooden stick...

The 4th round of the Premier League begins on April 21.

Arsenal's "two fools" showed off their power. Xia Qi and Balotelli both scored twice. Arsenal defeated Fulham 0:4 in an away game and won the reputation of the King of London.

Manchester United defeated Villa 3:0 and continued to follow Arsenal.

Since then, the time has arrived on April 4, Arsenal ushered in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

At home against Real Madrid, who are gradually emerging as champions.

Xia Qi appeared in the South Stand wearing Balotelli's jersey.

The reason why I want to wear Balotelli's jersey starts from three days ago, no, it starts from the 2009 Champions League 1/8 finals, Manchester United VS Inter Milan.

That year, Balotelli, who was still at Inter Milan, met Cristiano Ronaldo, a Red Devil warrior who loved diving.

An eternal classic picture appeared during the game.

[The previous year's Mr. Ballon d'Or, Cristiano Ronaldo, could only kneel down and beg for mercy in front of God Ba. 】

Frankly speaking, this picture is an illusion brought to the fans by the cameraman. The real situation is that Ronaldo faked falling to the ground and was kneeling on the ground, and Balotelli stepped forward and angrily scolded him for diving.

Whether it is joking that Cristiano Ronaldo knelt down to beg for mercy or pragmatically saying that Balotelli angrily criticized Cristiano Ronaldo for diving, this does not reduce Balotelli's domineering attitude at all. Don't forget that he was only 18 years old at the time, and Cristiano Ronaldo was already in 08 Mr. Golden Ball.

After that game, Balotelli once said angrily: "One day he will ask me for my jersey."

This sentence also became the trigger for the war of words between Arsenal and Real Madrid before the game.

When the reporter interviewed Ronaldo, he mentioned that game and asked Ronaldo if he would ask Balotelli for his jersey.

Ronaldo pretended to think for a while and asked the reporter: "Who is Balotelli?"

Of course, it is impossible for Ronaldo not to know Balotelli, but he said so.

Can Balotelli’s character be tolerated?

So before the game started, the two started to quarrel on the Internet. The two sides agreed to compete to see who scored more goals in the game.

So Xia Qi put on Balotelli's jersey to support his brother.
