Chapter 130 The pressure of the leader (third update, please give me a monthly vote!)

PS, I'll give you the third update today. I'll ask you for a few photos~

※ ※ ※

After the 35th round of the league, the media paid attention to several things - Manchester United and Manchester City's championship battle; relegation battle for relegation teams; Champions League quota battle between Tottenham and Chelsea and Arsenal; Everton and Chelsea, Tottenham, Newcastle, Liverpool's European quota battle, and the best scorer.

Arsenal lost to Chelsea at home, and Chelsea continued to chase after Tottenham.

Tottenham was also very neat, and he withstood the pressure and defeated the Queens Park Rangers who were crazy about relegation away.

Tottenham's victory in this game basically announced that Liverpool has no chance to go to the Champions League next season.

Arsenal lost to Chelsea at home, but Van Persie scored no goal. Liverpool beat West Bromvic at home, but Chen Yingxiong scored a goal.

With this entry and exit, Chen Yingxiong was only one goal behind Van Persie.

The difference between one ball is simply not worth mentioning to Chen Yingxiong.

Van Persie also felt tremendous pressure.

After the game, many media said that Van Persie performed so well this season, and it would be too cruel if she could not win the league's top scorer in the end.

But as he watched Chen Yingxiong, who was getting closer and closer, many people were worried about whether Van Persie could hold on to the top of the shooter list.

"The hero is too fierce..." Some media said with such emotion.

Trapped by Liverpool's ups and downs this season, he can still score 32 goals. If Liverpool performs normally, how many goals can he score?

It's simply unimaginable!

They understood the feelings of the Italian teams before - when they met such a perverted shooter, they were really... want to cry without tears!

No wonder many Serie A teams breathed a sigh of relief after Chen Yingxiong left Naples. Their head coach or club chairman publicly stated that Chen Yingxiong's departure was a good thing for them - "...because we will never have to see him at least twice a year..."

But for the Italian media, losing Chen Yingxiong is a "loss of the entire Serie A", because there are few players as outstanding as him. It is inappropriate to describe him as "wherever he is, there is news", so you have to say: "He is news."

Van Persie is feeling tremendous pressure now. Although he always looks relaxed in front of others, anyone can see how much he cares about the league's top scorer.

This is the first time he has scored more than 20 goals in a single season since joining Arsenal, and it is also the first time he has the opportunity to win the Premier League Golden Boot.

How could he give it to someone else?

At the beginning, when the gap with Chen Yingxiong was very big, he was relatively relaxed. Now he began to regret why he didn't score a few more goals when the Hero didn't score in two games - Van Persie himself scored only one goal in those two games.

Is it really because Chen Yingxiong is not powerful that he has no motivation? He has to chase him to the back of his butt before he is eager to score a goal?

This doesn't make sense!

Van Persie has now practiced himself with extra shots, which is the manifestation of his pressure - he rarely practiced himself with extra shots.

In fact, even if you practice more, it may not be effective. Because his level of training is like that, it is impossible for him to increase his training in the short term after practicing more. He just felt that there seemed to be no other way to express his determination to fight to the death with Chen Yingxiong except for practicing more.

He can only strengthen his beliefs by practicing this way - I absolutely cannot lose! I want the best scorer in this league!

Chen Yingxiong really forced him into a dead end.

Wenger saw Van Persie's performance, and he always felt that this might not be a good thing.

Van Persie has not been injured this season yet, which is really unusual. He is worried that he will practice so much, and before the game begins, Van Persie will torture himself first.

He felt it was necessary to talk to Van Persie alone to relieve his pressure. The hero had already made him anxious, but in fact he didn't need to do this.

He wants Van Persie to realize that a healthy body is the most important thing. We cannot ruin our body because of the competition for the best shooter.

It is not feasible to fish out of the lake.

After one training, Wenger returned to the court and saw Van Persie doing more training. He shook his head.

"Hey, Robin!" he strode onto the training ground and shouted at Van Persie who was shooting the ball hard at the goal.

Van Persie heard the head coach's voice and did not stop immediately. Instead, he shot the football under his feet into the goal before turning around and looking at Wenger who was walking towards him.

"Boss, have you not returned yet?"

"You haven't even returned, how can I go back?" Wenger smiled. "You value this league's top scorer very much, Robin."

Van Persie nodded: "This is the first best scorer in my career, boss."

Just this sentence shows how important this best scorer is to Van Persie - anyone's first time is always memorable and unforgettable, just like first love.

Of course, Wenger was not here to persuade him to give up competing with Chen Yingxiong for the best scorer.

"Well, but I think you should relax a little bit, Robin. The competition with heroes is a long process - do you think you won him this season and you won't have to compete with him again next season? It's not a good thing for you to be too nervous at this time, Robin."

"But he is only one goal away from me now, boss." Van Persie said worriedly.

"That's what? You are the one who leads. Even if you don't score a goal in the next game, he has to score two goals in a row if he wants to surpass you. I think you are a little confused by him now, Robin." Wenger said.

"How could I do..." Van Persie frowned and retorted- he didn't want to admit that he was really forced to suffer by the other party.

"I remember you rarely practice shooting for yourself, right?" Wenger pointed at Van Persie and smiled.

When talking to Van Persie today, he always smiled. He wanted to infect Van Persie with his smile and let him relax. Don’t always frown and look like he is very bitter and revenge.

Van Persie was a little embarrassed and shrugged: "I think my shooting skills can still improve a little."

"But there is no rush," said Wenger. "In long-distance running, the pressure to lead is always greater than the pursuers behind you. Do you know this rule?"

Van Persie nodded. Of course he understood this principle. Those who lead would worry about their position from the moment they were leading, for fear that they would be caught up by the person behind them by accident. If they were caught up before the finish line, they would be really crying.

Because this worry always exists and continues to affect athletes, the leading people actually consume more physical strength than those who are chasing them.

This is when running long distances, many capable athletes actually choose to follow the strategy, and will not silly rush to the front to be the target of everyone from the beginning. Then they will wait until the last moment to overtake their opponents and make a fatal blow.

Moreover, those athletes who adopt the following strategy are not always following alone. They keep rotating people to follow the first place, giving the first place a feeling of "no matter how you run, you can't get rid of the pursuers behind", and constantly putting pressure on him mentally until they collapse.

Wenger looked at his proud disciple - Arsenal is no longer the same as before. Henry left and Fabregas also left. This team was once full of stars, and now only Van Persie can still make a move. The Dutchman is Arsenal's only hope for the future. He must not let this person fall because of Chen Yingxiong.

"Have you ever thought that heroes are using this long-distance running strategy to put pressure on you and then expect you to collapse on your own?" he said.

Van Persie was stunned-he really didn't think about this issue.

Wenger saw his reaction and knew that his words had worked, so he struck while the iron was hot.

"In fact, the ability of a hero may not be as strong as you imagined. It is very hard for him to bite you. Just look at his goal distribution and you will know that many times he relies on concentrated explosions, not on a continuous and stable goal efficiency..."

Wenger spoke a little bit against his conscience. He knew very well whether Chen Yingxiong was that strong. After all, he had only got three balls from his team. But in order to comfort Van Persie and let him relax, he had to belittle his opponent.

As for the side effects of doing this, Wenger didn't have time to consider it. If Van Persie loses the best scorer because she underestimates the enemy, it has nothing to do with Wenger. What he wants is a healthy Van Persie, not a Van Persie who won the best scorer with a broken leg.

Besides, he believed that Van Persie could not lose the best shooter because of his pride and underestimation.

This kind of thing may happen to many people, but it will never happen to Robin Van Persie.

As he said, Van Persie's eyes gradually lit up.

Obviously he accepted his head coach's explanation.

In fact, he didn't really believe that Chen Yingxiong could score 31 goals in a season when the team was not good.

So there is only one reason, that is, Chen Yingxiong is also working very hard.

It was all the media hype that was too great, and it seemed that Chen Yingxiong was unparalleled in the world.

It actually affected him.

He was upset when he thought that he was still missing a ball.

Now that Wenger is so a little bit, he reacts. He is influenced by media and public opinion! If he continues to tossing like this, he must be the one who can't withstand the pressure first. Once he collapses, isn't it easy for Chen Yingxiong to overtake him?

Hell!

It's so dangerous... If I really do this, I'll die unjustly!

Well, if you want to put pressure on me, then I will let you see my ability to withstand pressure!

Van Persie made up her mind and smiled again on her face: "I understand, boss. I won't practice today, I'll go home!"

Wenger was very satisfied with his answer, and he patted Van Persie on the shoulder: "You are always the best, Robin! Don't be afraid of any opponent!"
Chapter completed!
