第四


阿仙奴的球迷,這個多月來失去了耐性。

連續在聯賽打了3場零比零,阿仙奴對主場迎戰富咸一戰期望甚高。一次反擊傳球錯交給對手,一次控球甩了腳,在主場球迷眼中就像是失了球一樣的失望。最後,又是一場零比零。

失望,是因為阿仙奴的球迷仍然活在當年水銀瀉地進攻的歷史中。

如果車路士的皇朝隨摩連奴的離去而瓦解,我相信阿仙奴的盛世是在49場不敗結束的一刻失去了。

企得太高,令人對你的期望變得也太高。可惜球隊陣容上的改變卻使這一切變得不切實際。把當年聯賽盃決賽的陣容草草搬上一年打38場的聯賽上,背負著進攻足球、水銀瀉地的名義打每一場球賽,真的不過份嗎?

支持阿仙奴的球迷,曾經連續創下不知多少場聯場有入球的結錄,不但對零比零的比數陌生,連當年一比零"One-Nil to the Arsenal"的比數也不願意接受。

阿仙奴的球迷需要的不是聯賽第四,需要的是一場精彩多入球的比賽,需要的一次又一次水銀瀉地的反撃,需要的是有質素的進攻。

如果"皮利斯-韋拉-基拔圖-龍格堡"是近年攻力最佳的中場線,"戴亞比-丹尼遜-桑治-伊堡"是近年最差的中場線。

不過,隨著時間,阿仙奴球迷的要求應該要降低。一直要求高,只會像韋斯咸球迷般"We are forever blowing bubbles"。現在的這對阿仙奴,是一支全新的球隊。忘記龍格堡的入楔、亨利的單刀、皮利斯的掃把腳吧,看起球賽時,你會少了點壓力。

見到錯失了無數黃金機會的賓特拿替阿仙奴終結了不入球記錄,你可以幻想一下他會成為新的國王,因為他很快就會回到後備席上,沒有機會去錯失機會。

  1. 由高處跌下來的感覺的確唔好受,但咩球隊會冇高低?這是一篇給所有阿記球迷的文章。

  2. This is a good piece of stuff.
    I have watched a few games of Arsenal. It's really not as enjoyable as watching them last few years. They don't just miss chances, but miss very very very very very very easy chances. Go and review the last game of Arsenal. How many chances did they miss although they won by 3-0? They could have won with 5 or even 6 goals. A strong team should not miss easy chances like this many.

  3. Which game are you talking about, Robean? Are you talking about 3-0 victory against Burnley? I suppose you cannot take that game as reference since some recovered players and new formation was used in that match.

    I am not talking about missing chances. Even Henry and Bergkamp miss easy chances. The main differences between the existing Arsenal and the 03/04 Arsenal is the ability to create chances. When you go back to, let say, 02-03 Arsenal, they score 1-0 in early times and misses 3 or 4 chances every match. Arsenal was capable of missing chances because they could create chances. But this Arsenal team could not.

    If you want to compare the exisiting Arsenal with the old one, please compare fairly. When there was so much players got injured, imagine Ljungberg, Pires, and Vieria was injured in 03/04 season, Arsenal would probably play Edu-Parlour-Gilberto-Wiltord in the midfield. This supposes not to be a creative MF line either. Parlour and Edu will miss chances either. However, they can hold the ball, they can control the rthym of the game. This is the main difference between the 2 Arsenals.
