Chapter 496 Champion Syndrome
'Championship sequelae' This is a common phenomenon in the world of sports competition.
A championship-winning team performed poorly the following year, and many problems emerged.
First: Player contracts have generally risen, and the difficulty of renewing contracts has increased!
Second: Will weaken after winning the championship.
Third: hidden dangers of injury.
Fourth: The coaching team or management is poached.
Fifth: Component champion team, overdraft the future.
In the recent media, many people said that Arsenal have suffered from the sequelae of winning the championship.
Since winning the championship, Arsenal's players who have renewed their contracts have had a significant salary increase, and those players who cannot accept the club's proposed salary have already left the team.
Cazorla's injury has become an important problem for Arsenal. After the lack of Cazorla, the overall feeling of lack of stamina.
Arsenal's strength is based on teamwork, and everyone has an extremely important role. Obviously, the current Wilshere cannot replace Cazorla's role.
The coaching team and management have not been poached, but Wenger's injury has given a greater impact.
Of course, all of the above are secondary, and the most critical willpower to win the championship has become weak.
This is a very common phenomenon in the football world. Many players and coaches admit that the biggest obstacle to consecutive championships comes from this championship ambition.
Arsenal won the championship, and Lucky got the most media attention. Fans and the media overwhelmingly discussed the issue of historical status.
Ordinary starters/role players are worth one crown, and the amount of the contract renewal is the most important. For them, one more crown and two more crowns have no historical status bonus.
The media seldom even discuss them. For them, the goal of consecutive championships cannot inspire their greatest fighting spirit.
These reasons are combined into a "championship sequelae", which is also one of the reasons why many championship-winning teams will perform poorly in the future and have to restructure.
Compared to those teams that have won the Champions League several times, Arsenal is obviously a rookie.
They won their first Champions League trophy last season. After the ecstasy at the beginning, the players are no longer concerned about the so-called honor. These are not too tempting for them.
The problem returns to reality, and money is the only motivation to stimulate them.
Some players even left Arsenal for this!
This is also a problem that Arsenal urgently need to solve at the moment.
But how to solve this problem cannot be done overnight.
This requires the right medicine to adjust slowly.
If you can't do it, just kill it with one shot, and re-assemble a brand-new championship team while retaining the core players.
Even those giants cannot escape this problem, and for this reason, champion mercenaries are also rampant in football.
These people are not loyal to a team, their only goal is revenue.
The players get enough salary and the team wins the championship.
This is to exchange money for the championship!
But even so, a lot of giant teams are vying for the first place.
Di Maria was that kind of player in a way last season, and now he chooses to go to Paris to continue his mercenary path.
As for Arsenal, it has been characterized by many media as the sequelae of winning the championship.
It is obviously not an easy thing to get rid of this sequelae.
Arsenal's coaching staff gathered and they were worried too.
The sequelae of winning the championship!
The previous Arsenal did not seem to suffer from this sequelae.
Because, at that time, they always had goals.
Even if the league wins, more people still aim for the Champions League.
And now that Arsenal have won the Champions League, that kind of **** state has disappeared.
Although the players performed very hard, there was still a kind of emptiness and confusion in their hearts.
This is due to the inability to develop enough enthusiasm for the goal after winning the championship.
"Can Kay talk to them? Kay's eloquence is very good."
Lyman said innocently.
Patrice shook his head and said, "It's useless. In the locker room, Kai has already tried it once, and the effect is not obvious!"
If you pour chicken soup, you will be immune if you pour too much.
"The club can increase the bonus to stimulate the players!"
Proposed by strength and conditioning coach Colbert.
"This is overdrafting the future, our budget for this season is basically gone!"
Arsenal bought Aubameyang and Cech this season.
Add in the stadium loan repayments and they have no more money to splurge.
"Break up the reorganization! We can keep the core players, and then rebuild the team and lineup."
In response, the others rolled their eyes.
Reorganizing a team is not that simple.
Not to mention who is sold and whether there are suitable players.
It is a pity to sell this group of people.
Everyone gathered to discuss for a long time, but still could not come to a conclusion.
After all, this is the first time they have faced such a thing, and they have no idea where to start.
In the end, the helpless Patrice went to the University Hospital of London again.
In the ward, Wenger looked at Patrice helplessly.
This guy runs too hard.
Patrice's expression was extremely frustrated, and he kept moaning.
Looking at each other's appearance, Wenger felt a headache.
"The sequelae of winning the championship?" Wenger said directly.
Patrice nodded dejectedly.
Wenger smiled: "This is a problem we have to face."
"After we won the championship, I thought about these things, but before I could solve it, I was already in the hospital bed!"
Patrice said; "So how to solve it?"
Wenger laughed; "Actually, the method is very simple."
"The so-called sequelae of winning the championship is also called the championship syndrome. The status of the Champions League champion gives us not only an honor, but also a kind of arrogance!"
"Arsenal last season was still in a state of poverty and whiteness, and turned into a Champions League champion through a game. In this case, everyone will have arrogance!"
"I know you are in a hurry now, but at this time, you have to calm down!"
"Losing is inevitable!"
Patrice grinned and said, "I'm bound to lose? Man, this is my first game as coach!"
Wenger nodded; "Yes, but it cannot be avoided."
"Arsenal no longer has that hunger for championships!"
Patrice nodded, this change is very obvious.
Arsenal this season has always lost that momentum.
"There is also the dilemma at the competitive level. Don't forget that we are a champion team. Teams all over the world are studying us. How can we play the game easily." Wenger smiled: "I can guarantee that those Premier League coaches The information on my desk is more detailed than I know!"
"They analyzed us thoroughly, and Arsenal's overall lineup is not a piece of iron. We have weaknesses, but they were well covered up before."
Patrice: "But we're playing defensive backs now!"
Wenger: "What's the problem? They've studied us through, so! Everything!"
Patrice opened his mouth and finally sighed: "Okay, no problem."
After a pause, he asked; "So, what should I do?"
"Win!" Wenger said.
"Many people think that this championship syndrome needs to be solved through money and restructuring, but they are wrong. What these players lack is precisely the feeling of winning!"
"After defeats again and again, players' mood and confidence will suffer a great blow. At this time, a victory is often needed, and a hearty victory will change everything!"
"What you need to do now is try to inspire their fighting spirit! Use victory to inspire their fighting spirit! If it's a key game, even better."
Patrice grinned: "But we lost to West Ham at home!"
Wenger said; "We will always be winners!"
"What?" Patrice wondered.
Wenger said: "This is the idea of every Arsenal player now. They are used to winning, so they feel that no matter what the situation, they will definitely be the winning side. For this reason, they lack hard work and fighting spirit!"
Wenger raised three fingers and said:
"Champion's baggage! Thinking slack! Tactical targeting!"
"These three points are the problems you face, and what you need to solve are these three points!" Wenger said; "Start one by one!"
Patrice pondered for a moment and said, "Where to start?"
