Chapter 3268

Fans who like to watch the Premier League must have heard the names of some teams that are full of thunder but can't find any trace now. For example, Xie Wednesday, Queen's garden Ranger, Charlton, Blackburn and Coventry are struggling to live in the championship, League one or League two.

And of course, Nottingham Forest, in the championship.

However, it is believed that quite a number of fans have a certain understanding of Nottingham Forest and coach Brian Clough through the book "the godfather of Champions" by Lin Hai Tingtao, the great football God of the starting point, because they have never been in the middle of the stage.

Before Manchester United ruled England, the dominant position was Liverpool. Nottingham Forest never established their own era. However, their greatness lies in that they won an old League One title and won the Champions League in the heyday of Liverpool.

Forty years ago, too long.

In 2005, Nottingham Forest dropped from the championship to the top one, becoming the only former Champions League champion in the history of European football who dropped to the third level of the National League.

Now Nottingham Forest in the championship is just a mediocre team living in domestic and foreign troubles. At present, there is no head coach.

On the last day of last year, coach mark Warburton was dismissed because of poor performance, and young team coach Gary Blazier was acting for him temporarily.

But it was Nottingham Forest, which was in the doldrums in the championship, that knocked out Arsenal, who had won three trophies in the past four years, 4-2 in the third round of the 2017-18 FA Cup.

The "thermos cup" in Professor Arsene's hand is cold, wolfberry is scattered and chrysanthemum is withered.

He has been in charge of Arsenal for 21 years, and this is the first time in 21 years that he has been out of the FA Cup in the third round. For the Premier League team, the third round is actually the first round, and Arsenal are beaten in the face by scum when they go out.

The last time Arsenal were out of the FA Cup so early, Arsene was still in charge of Nagoya. At that time, the professor's hair was dark, a bit elegant.

It's not terrible to lose. It's not the end of the world to lose to a low level. What's fatal is that Nottingham Forest still has an advantage in the game, which makes people feel that Arsenal lost shamelessly.

Arsene is the manager who has won the most titles in the history of the FA Cup, leading Arsenal to seven titles. With the establishment of Arsene Wenger's aura, 30% of them won the championship unbeaten in the 2003-04 season, 30% won the FA Cup seven times, 30% won the jokes and 10% won the rest.

It's not terrible to lose. Even if the defending champion loses to the scum of the British championship, it's not the end of the world. But a loss is four goals, Arsenal feel shameless.

The last time Arsenal scored four goals in the FA Cup was against Hull City in 1908. At that time, China was still the Qing Dynasty.

Arsene Wenger's predecessor, scot Bruce Rioch, was also out in the third round of the FA Cup in 1995-96 when he lost to Aston Villa.

After the end of the season, although the team won the fifth place in the Premier League and a place in the UEFA Cup, lioch was dismissed because of the transfer fee budget.

Later it was said that the only credit Rioch had for Arsenal was the purchase of Bergkamp from Inter Milan at a high price of 7.5 million pounds.

More to say, in 2008, Bruce Rioch coach's file was also placed on the desk of the Chinese Football Association, becoming the candidate of national football coach. He later went to the Aalborg club in Denmark.

I don't know if Arsene will think of the retired lioch when he is out of the third round 21 years later and the thermos cup is gone.

This is the biggest and even the only surprise in this round of FA Cup. The rest of the Premier League teams either pass the test or are unfortunately tied and need to play a second game.

It is worth mentioning that apart from Manchester City vs Burnley, there is another Premier League dialogue, Liverpool vs Everton.

The most expensive defender in football, Dutchman Phil gill van Dyck, made his first appearance for Liverpool in the game and started the game.

Van Dyck played well in defence and the overall state of Liverpool was normal. But in the 84th minute after the 1-1 draw, van Dyck headed Chamberlain's corner into Everton's goal and Liverpool won 2-1 to advance to the last 32.

There is a goal in the first show. Van Dyke at least has a good omen for Liverpool.

Scudetto's new defender is in place, but what about Manchester City?

Barcelona do not sell ummiti, let alone just sell, Neymar is not short of money, even if the lack of money do not sell.

Chiellini is not optimistic either. Jiaojiao is indeed a top-notch centre back at present, but it is unknown whether he wants to leave Juve or Serie A or not.

Jiaojiao's contract with Juve will expire next year. Now she is in a wrangle about renewing her contract. Maybe she wants to use Manchester City to increase her bargaining chip.

And Jiaojiao is not young. The 34 year old has never left Serie A before. If she doesn't adapt to coming to Manchester City, who will be responsible if she destroys her reputation in the Premier League?

Now it's different from before. In the past, the Italian classic centre back didn't want to play abroad because of his pride in Serie A. Now the pride is almost gone, there is no more self hi left, and the football style has also undergone great changes, the most popular are the guards made in France and Spain.

Chiellini really came to the Premier League, for his age, Manchester City and he are actually gambling. Ummiti is not very old. He is just 24 years old. And this year in Barcelona's defensive system like a duck to water, to adapt to Guardiola must have no problem. But who knows if this will be his only peak year? Next year will it become a reverse lying dragon and Phoenix? For Manchester City, it's more difficult to buy a good centre back than to have a baby. The guard has not yet been bought, but a former meritorious veteran has left completely. After the winter window opened, Yaya Toure joined Olympiacos in Greece freely. In the 2005-06 season, Toure transferred from Donetsk to Olympiacos. After a year there, he went to Monaco. Another year later, he went to Barca. This time, he is back to his old club. Toure didn't get a new contract when his contract with city expired last summer. At that time, he was very unconvinced, so he concentrated on looking for a home in the Premier League, hiding his intention to show Manchester City a good look on the pitch. His target was the other five in Big6, and even preferred to Chelsea and Manchester United. But until the transfer window is about to close, Toure finally knows that he is very silly and naive, not to mention Big6, big16 can not be talked about. Including contact with Barcelona and Monaco, Toure lowered the conditions, but also said he was willing to start from the bench, as long as a contract on the line. Football is a utilitarian world. If you want to talk about feelings, you have to have an absolutely irreplaceable strength. The transfer window is closed and Toure knows that the world is in the cold. The age of 34 is really going to be wasted for one year. It's better to retire directly. Not everyone is called Zhuo Yang. In order to keep competitive, Toure put down his position and went back to Manchester City training center to do basic training with the team. Until the end of November, Manchester City learned from other sources that Toure had basically reached an agreement with Olympiacos, and then informed him that he needed to leave. I'm afraid it's very difficult to return to the top five leagues. Yaya Toure, one of the best footballers in the history of Africa and the fourth consecutive African Footballer of the year, has actually embarked on the road of seclusion.
