A gun fan who was born in 1992, he has been paying attention to that team since the third grade of elementary school (it wasn't called that weird-named team at that time). The reason why he liked it in the first place is very simple and to the point. He has a brother who is four years older than himself and is a supporter of the Red Devils and Manchester United. Arsenal was one of the few teams in that period that could defeat a team as powerful as Manchester United.
How fortunate that he was able to taste the rare sweetness when he first became a gun fan. After winning two championships in three games, the Emperor won consecutive golden boots and even witnessed the glory of the undefeated season. However, it was precisely because the subsequent undefeated game ended in a disgraceful way that he still regards a certain team as his most hated enemy.
Although I experienced the rainy night in Paris, due to my young age, I could neither watch the live broadcast nor see the picture of Titi squatting in the corner kick area. What I thought at the time was that after all, not many people can win the championship after entering the finals for the first time, and just start over again, but I never expected that this wait would last 20 years. It was only after many years that I realized that the gears of fate had begun to turn since that final. For titi, for Cesc, for the professor, and for the factory, that game was the trigger for the change in fate. If he had won that extremely hated championship, maybe there would not have been a long wait of twenty years. If he had won that championship, maybe Titi would not have chosen to leave because of the Champions League. If he had won that championship, maybe the professor would not have tightened his belt for more than ten years to ensure the stable operation of the club, and even almost lost his reputation. If he had successfully won that championship, maybe the young Cesc would not have had the idea of going to Barcelona to achieve more achievements.
In fact, after Titi left, I began to watch the entire online broadcast of a tennis match more and more comprehensively (due to family reasons, my family purchased a house in 2007 and had its own room and computer, so I started to secretly watch the live broadcast. In the past, I mostly learned about the event through newspapers, magazines, TV and online event highlights). It was also from that period that the English name was always Cesc. In fact, I do have very conflicting feelings about Fabregas. He is indeed the key support and hope for revival of your club, but he has also personally pushed the dilapidated club and professor into a desperate situation. His departure resulted in the complete bankruptcy of the Professor Project. Due to the involvement of Jinyuan Football and the huge debt pressure, the company had no time to find such a core figure. In 2011, I witnessed his departure at the age of 19, which directly led to the 2-8 loss to Manchester United. Even now, many things have been forgotten, and the hatred for him has faded, but at best it is indifference, which will never be forgiven. In the same summer, Ta and his grandfather joined the team at a critical moment, and this love continues to this day (it is a pity that my grandfather returned to Germany, but I wish him all the best in his personal development. However, when Ta led the team, no matter what the final record was, no one ever tried to hack it) Even if he said a word, he joined at the darkest moment. It can be said that this gave Broken Factory a new life. Otherwise, he might have lost the Champions League qualification earlier, and it would also make it more difficult for Broken Factory to survive the debt stage.
And the 10 before someone runs away – The 11th season has become the first truly meaningful moment in my full-time football watching career. If there hadn't been Robin van Persie's red card, if I could have had a little better luck and overcome the terrible dream three period, if Van Persie would have been with someone a year earlier. If the threat can sustain the so-called state for a longer period of time, if the professor is bold and cruel, he can lead that dreamy grandfather to the Emirates Stadium a season earlier, if he can successfully win a league championship in this historically low-scoring season. Looking back at the present, just like a rainy night in Paris, there were countless what-ifs this year. However, this year fate once again did not favor your factory, which also led to the complete collapse of the professor's youth army. In the second season, Van Persie had a breakout season, which made people sigh. If someone still stays here, there may be a historic Premier League Golden Boot winner. Although it is still extremely difficult, your factory does not have no chance of making a breakthrough.
There were ups and downs in the next few years. Finally, in the 15-16 season, with the addition of capable people and key players and their mutual integration, Broken Factory ushered in a lineup that could challenge for the championship in this low-scoring season. However, the result turned out to be another disappointment with greater expectations. If it is not a threat to the third brother's injury, if kkl can be more stable, if Ramsey can do better as he did two years later, if Bolti does not decline so rapidly and can stick to one more season, if Xhaka's joining in the next window can be arranged in this window, if he can take a chance to supplement it in the winter window, if Giroud can waste less opportunities in such a season that can be called the most brilliant season of his broken career, the professor may be able to usher in the highlight moment of his later career. The professor missed his last chance and failed to bring a perfect end to his 22-year glorious career. He could only leave in an undignified way. This place he loved deeply, but it also hurt him in the end.
The story that followed, I think most current gun fans have also experienced it. I have to say that Brother Tazi was lucky. He did not take over the broken factory immediately after the professor retired. Instead, after a fool with no charisma and three outrageous management teams made a mess of the locker room and the ball, he appeared as DNA to correct the situation, and the Kroenke family gave him enough time and opportunities to prove himself.
After surviving the ups and downs of those years, he has won the runner-up position for three consecutive years and made progress in the Champions League every year. He has the ability to compete with any opponent in the face of strong teams, which may not be outstanding in the eyes of some people. For the fans who have traveled far and wide to follow, this is the stability they have achieved after going through hardships, and it is proof that the team has entered the right track of sustainable development and self-supply. It is also a reward for the professor's years of persistence.
In fact, I firmly believe that many fans born in the 1990s who have persisted to this day have similar reasons. Arsenal is just like us ordinary people who work hard. Even if we try our best, the ending is still not satisfactory. Often when you are one step away from success, fate plays tricks on you, full of many ifs and buts. All of them have failed, and after waking up and having enough to eat and drink, we still have to keep walking, and Arsenal is much better than us. When we reach middle age, we often give up halfway through our journey due to various reasons, but Arsenal always continues to forge ahead. When people reach middle age, due to life and physical pressure, they don’t know how many seasons they can watch full time. Maybe it will be one year, maybe three years, and then full attendance will be transformed into checking the news on the way to work. Of course, I hope to have a league championship, or even a Champions League championship, to give my 25 years of youth a sense of justice. It would be great if I could have a perfect ending. If I fail to win the championship, I will definitely have regrets. However, isn't life like this? After all, even the professor has never had a perfect ending. Although one day I won't be able to watch every game, I firmly believe that Arsenal will never stop on the road to the championship.
This year, after so many years, it is the first time that we have entered May, and we have a real opportunity to hit the double championship. Even if we only need to win the last 4 games, we can make history. At this moment, I no longer want to elaborate on the technical and tactical aspects, or discuss whether I can win the game, but to fight with my best one by one, and at the same time I believe that they will be more eager than us to win the torment-filled championship that should have been given to us long ago. Regardless of the final success or failure, just as tifo expressed the situation, in the past we traveled through many mountains and seas to come here. In the future, this team will definitely continue to progress like a ship riding the wind and waves.
I talked a lot, all the verbosity, just the ramblings of a middle-aged man, just thinking about leaving something to prove that he had been here before. But now, no matter how many words we say, they all turn into one sentence: Come on you gooners! I sincerely hope that good luck will favor us this time!
I was a fan of Arsenal in 1992. I started to watch Arsenal in the third grade of primary school (it was not a factory at that time). The reason why I initially fell in love was also very simple. I have a brother who is 4 years older than me and is a Manchester United fan, and Arsenal was one of the few teams in that era that could beat Manchester United.
I was lucky to have tasted the fine chaff when I first became a Gunners fan. I won two championships in three seasons, won consecutive golden boots, and even witnessed an undefeated season. However, because the subsequent unbeaten season was ended in a shameless way, I still regard a certain team as my biggest enemy.
Although I experienced a rainy night in Paris, because I was still young, I didn't watch the live broadcast or see the picture of Titi squatting in the corner kick area. The idea at the time was that not many people could win the championship after reaching the finals for the first time, so they could just start over and start over. Que never thought that it would take 20 years to wait. It was only after many years that I realized that the gears of fate began to turn from that final. The game between titi vs. Cesc vs. Professor vs. Broken Factory was the trigger for the change in fate. Maybe if we win the damn championship, we won't have to wait for another 20 years. Maybe Titi won't leave for the Champions League. Maybe the professor won't tighten his belt for more than 10 years to ensure the healthy operation of the club and even almost lose it at the end of the season. Maybe the young Cesc won't have the idea of going to Barcelona to win more.
In fact, after Titi left, I started to watch more live broadcasts of complete games (for family reasons, my family bought a house in 2007 and had my own room and computer, so I started watching live broadcasts secretly. Originally, I read more newspapers, magazines, TV and online highlights). From that time on, the English name has always been Cesc. In fact, I have very conflicting feelings towards Xiaofa. He is indeed the pillar and hope for revival of your factory, and he also personally pushed the factory and the professor into the abyss. His departure directly led to the bankruptcy of the entire professor plan. With the addition of Jinyuan Football and the huge debt pressure, the factory had no time to look for such a big core. In 2011, when I was 19 years old, I witnessed the departure of this player, which directly led to the 2-8 loss to Manchester United. Even today, when I have let go of many things, my hatred for this person has also faded, but at best it is indifference and I can never forgive. In the same summer, Ta and my grandpa joined the team at a time of crisis, which has made my love for them continue to this day (actually, it is really a pity that my grandpa is going back to Germany, but I wish him the best for his personal development. No matter what the record is, Ta has never said anything bad to him. His joining at the darkest moment can be said to have extended the life of the company, otherwise it may lose the Champions League qualification earlier and make it more difficult for the company to survive the debt stage).
The 10-11 season before someone left also became the first time in my full-time football watching career that I was truly unhappy. If there had not been Robin van Persie's red card, if luck could have been a little better and he could have crossed over to Dream 3, if Van Persie could have broken out completely with someone a year earlier, if the threat could have maintained his form for a longer period of time, if the professor had made up his mind to bring his dream grandfather to the Chiefs a season earlier, if he could have won a league championship in this historically low-scoring season. Looking back now, it seems like it was like a rainy night in Paris. There were too many what-ifs this year, but fate was not on your factory's side again this year, and the professor's youth army completely fell apart. And Robin van Persie's explosive season in the second season also made people sigh. If someone is still there, maybe a historical Premier League Golden Boot will be born. Although it is still difficult, your factory is not completely without a chance to make a breakthrough.
After several years of ups and downs, finally in the 15-16 season, with the joining and running-in of Dead Man and Thigh, Broken Factory ushered in a lineup that was enough to challenge for the championship in this low-scoring season. However, it turned out to be another time when the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. If the injury that threatens the third brother is not a threat, if kkl can be more stable, if Ramsey can do better like he did two years later, if Bolti's decline is not so fast and he can last another season, if Xhaka's joining in the next window can be put in this window, if he can make a desperate move in the winter window to supplement, if Giroud can waste less opportunities in such a broken career, the most glorious season, the professor may be able to usher in the highlight of the end of his career. The professor who missed the last chance could not bring a perfect end to his 22-year glorious career, and could only leave the place that he loved deeply but ultimately hurt him in an unseemly way.
I believe most of the current gun fans have experienced the following story. I can only say that Brother Tazi is lucky. He did not take over the broken factory immediately after the professor retired. Instead, after a fool without any charisma and three outrageous management teams made the locker room and the ball a mess, he appeared as DNA to set things right. The Kroenke family gave him enough time and opportunities to prove himself.
After experiencing the ups and downs of those years, being runner-up for three consecutive years, making progress in the Champions League every year, and being able to compete with anyone in a strong dialogue may not be a big deal in the eyes of some people, but for the fans who have followed across the mountains and seas, this is hard-won stability, proof that the team is on the road of virtuous cycle and self-sufficiency, and a reward for the professor's years of perseverance.
In fact, I believe that many fans born in the 1990s who have persisted until now have a similar reason. Arsenal is like ordinary us who work hard to live. Even if you have tried your best, the ending is still unsatisfactory. Often when you are only one step away from success, fate will play a joke on you. It is always full of all kinds of what-ifs, but all of them fail. But when you wake up with enough food and drink, you still have to keep going. And Arsenal is far better than us. When we reach middle age, we often compromise and give up on the journey of life due to various reasons, but Arsenal always continues to move forward. When people reach middle age, due to the pressure of life and body, they don’t know how many seasons they can watch with full attendance. Maybe one year or three years will turn full attendance into watching the news on the way to work. Of course, I look forward to a league championship or even a Champions League championship to give an account of my 25 years of youth. If it can have a perfect ending, of course it is the best. If I fail to win the championship, of course I will regret it, but isn’t life like this? After all, even the professor did not receive a perfect ending. Although one day I won't be able to insist on watching every game, I believe that Arsenal will never stop fighting for the championship.
This year is the first time in so many years that there is a real chance to hit the double championship in May. It even only needs to win the last four games to make history. At this time, we don’t want to talk about skills and tactics or whether we can play well or not. We just fight one game at a time. We also believe that they will want to win the damn championship that should belong to us more than we do. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, as tifo expressed, in the past we came across mountains and seas, and in the future, this team will naturally ride on the wind and waves and continue to move forward.
Luoliba said a lot, but it was just the nagging of a middle-aged man hoping to leave something to prove that he had been there. Nowadays, no matter how many words you say, it only becomes one sentence: Come on you gooners! May good luck also favor us this time!
