North London, Islington neighborhood.

Morning light pierced through the mottled windows, spilling onto Tom's big ass.

A chubby hand picked up the phone on the bedside table.

"Wenger still hasn't renewed his contract?"

"Damn! Is this old guy planning to jump ship after achieving fame and success this season? We haven't won the Champions League yet!"

"Too shameless!"

"If he really leaves, will the bank still approve the loan to Arsenal?"

"Screw him! Arsenal isn't short of money now! The Emirates Stadium's revenue on each match day is more than that of a true powerhouse!"

"We might even become Champions League champions! Broadcast revenue, European war bonuses, next season will definitely attract better coaches and players!"

"The *Times* was right last season! Wenger is a cancer! What's the point of being second in the Premier League!"

"Arsenal has been fighting for fourth place in the Premier League for so many years because the coach's ability is not good enough."

During the final stage of last season, the Islington community set off the most violent "oust Wenger" wave in 20 years.

Of course, John wouldn't miss this kind of activity. He even personally made a banner printed with "wengerout!!!" and donated to the oust-Wenger organization, hiring a plane to pull a banner to tell Wenger to get lost.

They also composed a song: "When Wenger Dies, We'll Be Glad."

Once the wave started, whether or not they were Arsenal fans, they would come to kick him.

Even in matches that didn't involve Arsenal, banners reading "Wenger Out" would be displayed in the stands.

A *goal* website survey showed that 74.7% of local fans wanted Wenger to leave Arsenal, and the comment section was filled with abuse.

In their view, the fundamental reason for not winning the league title last season and ultimately finishing second in the Premier League was Wenger's lack of ability.

Compared to the past "calls for dismissal."

If other clubs got second place in the Premier League, they would come forward to express their support for their own coach.

But Arsenal didn't. The club spokesperson only said one sentence: "We understand the anger and feelings of the fans."

The stadium is built.

Revenue is getting higher and higher.

There's no shortage of money.

The Gunners are chasing the championship.

At that time, the media had already predicted that if Wenger was dismissed, he would leave in a very undignified manner.

Colney Training Centre.

Next to the office area, there is a large tree that Wenger planted himself when the base was built.

It's a pity that it has grown too strong now, and the lush branches and leaves block the sunlight from the office.

Several lumberjacks are busy.

The harsh sound of sawing wood echoed continuously.

"Eighteen annual rings, exactly the year Anelka transferred to Real Madrid!"

"That's right, 22.3 million pounds, the professor used all the money to upgrade this base at that time!"

Bould hurried into the head coach's office: "Boss, Dick Law has been fired!"

Wenger nodded, indicating that he already knew about it.

Dick Law is Arsenal's chief transfer negotiator, Wenger's right-hand man.

"The club is preparing to set up the position of sporting director... they said... they are worried that you are too tired and will no longer have to worry about transfers and signings in the future."

"The club believes that there are now sufficient funds, and the club's management must keep up with the trends of the times."

"Arsenal is going to become a real powerhouse..."

Bould didn't continue.

Wenger smiled and said, "Don't think too much, we need to focus on the last few games now."

Half past two in the afternoon.

The Arsenal players left the training base one by one.

A large number of Arsenal fan association members from all over the world gathered at the exit.

They picked the most suitable day to support their beloved club.

"Come on you Gunners!!!"

Xhaka has always been very enthusiastic about the fans. He stopped the car, patiently signed autographs and took photos. His arms were soon filled with various small gifts.

The fans were afraid of interfering with his schedule, and after only a few minutes, they took the initiative to back away and make way, bidding him farewell.

The league title and Champions League suspense are getting closer and closer to the Gunners.

The supporters of the Gunners all over the world couldn't help but become nervous.

Two days later, the Premier League match day arrived.

South London, Selhurst Park.

Crystal Palace fans were drinking at street stalls, ignoring the Arsenal fans.

Of course, you have to save your energy for the opposing players.

Glassworkers are also frequent initiators of racial discrimination.

This club was only promoted to the Premier League in the 2013-14 season, and it has always maintained the tradition that young players should shine the shoes of veteran players.

Veteran Lombardo once made a classic joke: "Ashley Cole is great, right? He shined my shoes."

This is a very strange club.

When they play against Chelsea, they will angrily scold: "The purity of football has been polluted by Abramovich's dirty money."

When they play against Tottenham, they will mock: "Tottenham needs to rely on a yellow-skinned monkey to win."

Leaving aside the number of fouls and red and yellow cards, Crystal Palace is the dirtiest team in the Premier League just by looking at their performance in the whole game. Their dirty tactics are comparable to those of Espanyol in the Catalan region of La Liga.

"Tin Man" Hazard was knocked out with tears by a few consecutive elbow strikes.

"Dirty Forward" Diego Costa was held down and kicked in the head, tearing off a layer of skin.

Even if Tang Sanzang came to Crystal Palace's home ground, he would be beaten until his relics came out.

Selhurst Park.

A gray and white giant Tifo image slowly rose.

It rises, rather than unfolding from top to bottom.

Li Kang sat on the bench. The coaching staff did not let him start, and did not even want him to let him play: what if the two-hundred-million-pound man was injured in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final next Wednesday?

Bould sat and stood uneasily, praying that the main players would not be injured in this game.

On the other side.

Crystal Palace coach - Allardyce, with his hands in his pockets.

He is nicknamed: "Hard Life" and "Survival Master".

As a firefighter coach who was appointed in a critical situation, he led Crystal Palace to win 12 points in the last 5 games, and even upset Chelsea, temporarily escaping the relegation zone.

At the same time, he is Wenger's nemesis. During his time coaching Bolton, he liked to anger the Arsenal coach in various ways.

"The angrier Wenger gets, the happier I am."

At this historical period, the two had not yet reconciled.

It seems that they will not reconcile. This guy wrote in his autobiography published in 2015: "Wenger is too arrogant and arrogant."

Later, when Allardyce was deeply involved in scandals, Wenger said in an interview: "We must give him a chance to prove his innocence."

The game was very intense.

The referee is Mike Dean, the "Gunners Sniper" among the four blind men in the Premier League.

In the 13th minute, Milivojevic stepped off Sanchez's shoes.

In the 21st minute, Milivojevic shoveled Walcott's ankle.

In the 28th minute, Cabaye's big elbow heavily hit the face of Arsenal's center forward when fighting for the top.

In the 37th minute, Milivojevic's cleats kicked Cazorla's knee.

In the 48th minute,.

Bould and Wenger protested excitedly to the fourth official.

Arsenal fans kept booing, angrily condemning the Crystal Palace players.

Being lumbered like this, the second leg of the Champions League semi-final will be over!

Bench.

System prompts kept ringing in Li Kang's mind.
