Chapter 98: One sentence resolves a century of grudges. (5K!)
The Arsenal eventually paid the price for its arrogance.
In fact, Song Wen's two direct goals from corner kicks were not so much a result of luck as it was because Arsenal gave him enough opportunities.
Even after Song Wen scored the first corner kick, Arsenal coach Wenger was still unwilling to place more defenders in the penalty area.
After all, no one expected that Song Wen would dare to kick like this!
In fact, every time there is a corner kick, the fans will sweat in their hands.
But in modern football, the scoring rate of corner kicks is very low in the five major leagues, only three percent.
Out of a hundred corner kicks, only three goals will be scored.
The probability of scoring directly from a corner kick is extremely small, and basically no one will try it.
Song Wen's goal was not only a reflection of his skills, but also a trick he played on Arsenal.
Wenger on the sidelines could no longer maintain his gentle image as a "professor" and angrily denounced the players for their poor defense.
Arsenal cannot afford to lose today's game.
Not to mention Arsenal's image as a wealthy club, it was embarrassing to lose to a newly promoted team.
Just take the verbal attacks between the two sides before the game. Whoever loses will be the clown.
After Wenger's call, Arsenal players finally came back to their senses from their confusion.
Ozil seemed to be stimulated by Song Wen and started to run without the ball actively, which was contrary to his usual behavior, sweeping away the laziness that often appeared in the game.
As Arsenal began to attack with all their might, Ipswich's defense became shaky in an instant.
Ozil would occasionally make a sudden move in the midfield.
Bellerin made a high-speed forward run on the wing.
In the penalty area, Lacazette was like a troublemaker, disturbing Ipswich's defense.
Most importantly, after conceding two goals in a row, Arsenal finally let go.
Bellerin knew that although he could catch up with Grealish, it was too difficult to steal the ball from this slippery boy, so Arsenal's defensive players directly started to increase their intensity on Grealish.
These veterans from the Premier League understand the referee's penalty standards too well and know what kind of actions will not result in a card.
And the experienced Arsenal players never let Grealish get to the top of the arc, and always choose to foul as soon as Grealish gets rid of him.
This made it much less likely for Ipswich to threaten Arsenal's goal from set pieces.
But the good news is that because Grealish helped Song Wen take the beatings, although Song Wen did suffer some violations, compared with last season, it was simply a paradise-like experience.
Grealish has provided great help to Song Wen.
In fact, the game has been going on for a long time and the first half has not even ended yet, but Song Wen has already used all of his abilities.
Without Grealish, the pressure would only be greater facing the behemoth that is Arsenal.
But even so, Ipswich's poor defense still seemed stretched when facing Arsenal.
Although Ipswich Town was promoted to the Premier League, they are poor and have spent all their funds this season to pay Song Wen's salary and buy Grealish.
So their defensive players have basically not changed from last season.
And Ipswich's defence, even in the Championship, is full of holes.
Last season, Ipswich conceded an average of 1.7 goals per game, which means they conceded two goals per game.
At that time, whenever Ipswich had a game, gamblers would come immediately when they smelled the scent.
In the words of a gambler, in the Ipswich match, just go big without thinking.
Because in addition to Ipswich's tendency to lose the ball, they also have Song Wen who scores a goal as soon as he comes on the field.
Song Wen is therefore deeply loved by gamblers.
Unknown to Song Wen, he had already built pagodas that were multiples of 7.
Gamblers also call him the People’s King of Football.
Among Song Wen's fan base, gamblers account for a considerable proportion.
Such a defense line naturally could not withstand Arsenal's fierce attack.
In the 45th minute of the game, just as the first half was about to end, Bellerin started quickly on the wing and then made a wonderful pass in the bottom corner to Lacazette in front of the goal.
"Lacazette!"
Zhan Jun shouted loudly.
"This shot worked! In the 2th minute of the game, Lacazette's shot in front of the goal sent the ball into Ipswich's goal! Helped Arsenal equalize the score. The score between the two sides is now 2:!"
There was no hint of disappointment in Zhan Jun's tone.
Be it Zhan Jun or Fan Zhiyi, the two teams had already seen the gap between them after 45 minutes of play.
Unless Arsenal is really unlucky, it is only a matter of time before they score a goal.
The main reason why they can be so calm is that Song Wen has already scored two goals. Whether they win or lose this game, it will have no impact on Song Wen.
Winning is naturally the best.
Even if you lose, it’s still - if you are well, it will be a sunny day.
As Arsenal equalized the score, Gunners fans became agitated again.
[Our Arsenal is invincible! 】
[Our Arsenal is invincible! 】
[Song Ze's two goals just now were highly stolen, and Arsenal is safe.]
[Song Ze: My horse is gone again? ]
[There are two most philosophical paradoxes in the field of quantum mechanics, one is Schrödinger's cat and the other is Song Ze's horse. ]
[Won’t Nana score eight or ten goals in the second half?]
[Arsenal lost the ball, Song Ze made the first mistake, the goal was about to be broken by Arsenal, but this guy didn't go back to defend. ]
[Indeed, Ipswich should have strengthened its defense, and it was also because of Song Ze's intervention that Grealish was bought.]
[What is the use of the shaker? I bought it to mop the court.]
Ipswich dressing room.
Head coach McCarthy walked in with champagne in his hand.
The score in the first half was 2:2, which was completely beyond McCarthy's expectations.
As long as we don't concede more than three goals in the second half, everyone can accept today's result.
For the club, Song Wen's two corner kicks directly demonstrated his worth.
He has successfully proved that he still has a terrifying goal-scoring ability even in the English Premier League.
This is enough to make Ipswich a lot of money next season.
But for McCarthy, Song Wen is a player he promoted and trained.
As for other Ipswich players, most of them came from the Championship. They faced a giant club like Arsenal in their first game and they also performed very well.
Although the score is currently tied at 2:2, Ipswich has played a perfect first half.
And in the second half, they are likely to suffer some torture.
So at this moment, opening champagne at halftime is the best choice.
All of the above logic and ideas come from Song Wen’s brainwashing of McCarthy.
To be honest, McCarthy did not agree with this approach.
But he couldn't resist the pleadings of today's English Premier League superstar.
Song Wen handed his mobile phone to Grealish and took the champagne from McCarthy.
"Little Scratch, have you started recording yet?"
Grealish nodded excitedly, thought about it, and handed the phone to Chambers again.
"Captain, take a picture for us."
He walked up to Song Wen and said with a grin, "Song! We are good brothers, how can you celebrate alone?"
Song Wen hadn't even opened the champagne in his hand yet, but Grealish had already started shaking it. He glanced helplessly at Pokerham beside him.
"You chose this yourself."
After saying that, he shook the champagne vigorously, pointed it at the camera of the mobile phone, and exploded with a bang, and shouted:
"Arsenal, I'm going to kick you in the ass and kick you out of the Portman Stadium!"
As Song Wen finished his words, Grealish, who was still dancing to the music without any BGM, was stunned.
Chambers handed the phone back to Song Wen somewhat helplessly. As the captain, he couldn't help but remind him:
"Song, don't go too far."
Seeing Song Wen nodded with a smile, Chambers knew that the boy didn't take it to heart at all, so he could only walk aside helplessly.
Grealish only reacted at this moment and quickly chased after Song Wen.
Watching Song Wen start editing the video on his mobile phone, then log into the social platform, edit the text, and prepare to send it, I suddenly panicked.
"No, my brother! What are you doing?"
He wanted to snatch the phone from Song Wen's hand, but Song Wen dodged it, making him even more anxious.
"Hey! Song! We're going to be scolded to death!!"
Song Wen ignored the anxious Grealish, just looked up and continued to operate.
"What are you afraid of? Haven't I been scolded enough?"
"ok! ok! ok!"
Grealish sent out three consecutive OK shots and said nervously:
"But I'm not! Do you understand me? I don't want to be scolded."
"Didn't you want to come over and celebrate with me just now?"
"Please Song! If you must post it, can you please photoshop me out? I don't want to offend those crazy Gunners fans."
Hearing Grealish's words, Song Wen's face was full of contempt.
"Don't be afraid my brother, it feels good to be scolded. Just like when you are always being attacked on the court, being scolded represents your value."
He said, and finally pressed the send button.
For a time, Song Wen’s updates appeared on Twitter and Weibo.
[Dear fans, hello. I haven't posted for a long time, I'm sure you must have missed me. I've been busy with training recently and really ignored the enthusiasm of my fans. It's rare that today's game is so relaxed, so I want to say hello to my fans at halftime. ]
[In the first half, we tied with Arsenal 2:2, but fans all know that there are still more than minutes left in the game. Today is my first game after being promoted to the Premier League. Before the game, I almost worked hard to train myself and adjust myself, hoping to be in the best condition to meet today's game. But Arsenal disappointed me. ]
[My only feeling so far in the game is that Arsenal is too weak.]
[There is a reason why this historic team has fallen from a championship contender to a top four contender. ]
[I think Arsenal's strength is not worthy of being called a giant, let alone being compared with Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester City and Manchester United. ]
[What, you asked me why I didn’t mention Tottenham? ]
[Tottenham is the same as Ipswich, our trophy room is also empty. ]
As soon as this news was released, the fans went wild.
Grealish was holding his phone, and when he finished reading Song Wen's last words, his face fell.
He has already prepared himself mentally.
But he really couldn't understand why Song Wen wanted to bring Tottenham with him in the end!
After all, Arsenal has already offended him, so even if he says something a little more online, that's all.
But what grudge do Tottenham have against you, Song Wen?
Why are you scolding others for no reason?
The most important thing is that you have to know that Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are sworn enemies!
And this mortal enemy is not like Ipswich and Norwich, which is the result of fans' anger.
But there are huge conflicts between the two clubs.
The match between Arsenal and Tottenham is known as the North London Derby.
No matter when, there are always only two words to describe the North London Derby: hatred.
The feud between the two teams can even be traced back more than a hundred years ago.
Arsenal was not originally in North London. Formerly known as the Woolwich Royal Arsenal, they were just a workers' club in that place. Later, when the team became a professional club, they felt that the location was not conducive to future development, so they decided to move to North London for market considerations.
This made Tottenham very unhappy, because North London was originally Tottenham's territory, and they had advantages in attracting fans, selling tickets and commercial development. The sudden arrival of a strong competitor would obviously cause dissatisfaction. Although Tottenham protested, after a meeting in March 1913, it was considered that Arsenal's relocation did not violate regulations, which made Tottenham unhappy and helpless, and they could only accept the reality of having a new neighbor.
To this day, Tottenham fans still regard their opponents as outsiders, and they sing "North London is ours, North London is ours, screw Woolwich" every time they have a derby.
Arsenal's public relations skills were also very sophisticated at the time. As an outsider, they also owned the only subway station in London with the same name as the club, which brought endless benefits to the club's publicity and operations. In contrast, Tottenham, as a local snake, did not enjoy similar treatment.
If the fans of the two teams just disliked each other at that time, then after 1919, the fans of the two teams had gone from disliking each other to the point of spitting at each other when they met, becoming sworn enemies.
Arsenal were promoted to the English League One this year, but they did not rely on their performance in the League Two.
It was a political move by Arsenal's then chairman Norris.
Thanks to Norris's behind-the-scenes manipulation, Arsenal was promoted to the First Division, while Tottenham, which would not have been relegated, was relegated.
Such a deep hatred has caused the fans of the two teams to have long-standing resentment. Whenever the North London derby comes, the atmosphere in the stadium is particularly hot, and red and yellow cards flying everywhere are commonplace.
Therefore, Song Wen's comparison of Arsenal and Tottenham is undoubtedly adding fuel to the flames of fans of both sides.
And more importantly, Ipswich's journey in the Premier League has been extremely bumpy. They will face Arsenal in their first game in the Premier League.
And the second game will be an away challenge against Tottenham Hotspur!
Tottenham Hotspur will be their next opponent in Ipswich!
After a series of moves, Song Wen started mocking the strong enemy in the next game before defeating the opponent in this game.
This behavior really directly triggered the hatred.
Of course, the most important thing is to bring yourself along!
In fact, Song Wen has no grudge against Tottenham.
And he was just stating a fact, he wasn't cursing anyone at all.
If Tottenham really has a conflict with Song Wen, then Song Wen's offensive power is not just this low.
He just suddenly thought of this team when he was editing the copy, so he brought it along.
Just like when people talk about the big six in the Premier League, they always mention Tottenham.
Moreover, Song Wen had already consumed too much energy in the first half of the game, and he also wanted to give it a try to see if he could get some benefits from Tottenham fans.
After sending it out, he even felt that his offensive power seemed not enough and he might not be able to attract Tottenham fans.
But Song Wen obviously underestimated the lethality of the phrase "the trophy room is empty."
The moment the update was published, the black fan value in the system began to soar.
At this time, the outside world had gone completely crazy because of Song Wen's update.
This was the first time they had seen someone run into the locker room and taunt the opposing team in the middle of a game.
What's more, you are tied at 2:2, why are you popping champagne in the locker room?!
[This kid is too arrogant. It's obvious that he has never been beaten by society.]
[To be honest, Song Ze's EQ is 0. ]
[This guy really doesn't want to stay in England anymore. It seems like he wants to offend everyone he can? ]
[Damn, Nana scored ten goals in the second half! ]
[Hahaha, I feel sorry for the innocent Tottenham fans. What should I do? ]
[Tottenham: Are you polite?]
[Tottenham fans, I am really disgusted. Why does Arsenal appear in the same conversation with Tottenham? 】
[What a rubbish Arsenal, they played like this against a newly promoted team, and they also made us, Tottenham, get ridiculed. ]
[Nana, can you do it? If not, just let Tottenham come, a bunch of rubbish. ]
[Although, as a Tottenham fan, let's support this rubbish Arsenal today and kick Song Ze to pieces first, okay? ]
【Together with Tottenham fans, support Arsenal today. 】
【Come on Arsenal! ——Blessings from Tottenham fans. 】
Song Wen never thought that just one sentence from him could resolve the century-old feud between Arsenal and Tottenham.
