Behind The Thin Smile of Arsene Wenger

www.espnfc.com
Indeed, a victory in the match on Friday (04/22/16) against West Bromwich Albion to make sure Arsenal rose to third positions to temporarily shift the Manchester City.

Two beautiful goals from Alexis Sanchez gave freshness amid gloomy shades at Emirates Stadium. Lately, turmoil aggravation of fans to the team's performance, as well as a manager, drifted so sharp.

Since the failure to bring home three points from home of West Ham United, the fans are so upset because Arsenal chances to be champions increasingly blurred. Again, Wenger comments when the press conference did not help clear the situation, or at least keep up. The senior manager of the thick graying just present, sorry, a common imbecility of parents that his method began to be eroded by times.

Starting from his comments to West Ham were lucky to get the rights to use the Olympic Stadium, which in my opinion "implies" vanity. Wenger puffed up chests and claiming that he is the most miserable figure behind Arsenal inconvenience built Emirates.

The vanity style which is embedded in between the lines made me stunned and tried to get rid of anger to the farthest side of my heart.

Toward the home match against West Brom, the fans in the UK voiced to refund season tickets. They also intend to walk out of the Emirates in the 75th minute.

Both are forms of protest to the Wenger regime that started rotting. When against Tony Pulis squad, the stadium with a capacity of 60 thousand seats was looked empty.

But he stood there, with a smile.

He watched the melancholy of Arsenal's home, where he is credited and contribute economically very thick. Thin and quite rare Wenger smile was caught on camera.

Both of his hands he often rubbed, indicating impatience to see Arsenal scoring and once again presenting that WengerBall not dead.

He insisted, invited the fans to do whatever they want with the season ticket. Wenger fought, he did not want defeated by fans sulk. For me this form of wrong public relations, but inevitably we are forced to understand when seeing a variety of grief he had already planted for the Gunners.

It can not be ignored, Wenger revolutionized Arsenal, even ignite a change in hue of English football. Wenger discard old face of Arsenal was a lot of running and very British for the size of the physical play. He polished North London club became more tactical, efficient, and modern in the era.

"The Professor" also built sharp-eyed scouting  system, and his network reaches the corners of the continent to find "valuable rough diamonds with low cost." And he was successful.

Kolo Toure and Alex Song are two players who came from football schools in Abidjan and Yonde. The most recent are Alex Iwobi and stunning Héctor Bellerín in the main squad of Arsenal.

From the talents found and polished by Wenger, Arsenal got financial benefits which the reader must have been memorized by rote. The financial policy is the initial foundation of Arsenal financial balance when starting the Emirates projects.

Without title and play with a jerk squad, which is great always to be in the top four. A feat at first, which is now clearly a setback. Arsenal is healthy in financial, which has a resource, should be fighting for the title, die-hard fans screaming every week.

Seeing all the "sacrifice," then Wenger against. He seemed not to care about the intention of fans to walk out and returning season tickets.

And that he showed when preparing the squad well. The father of one daughter decided to play Oliver Giroud and Aaron Ramsey rather than Danny Welbeck and Francis Coquelin. A decision was initially made me worry but proved to run well.

Alternating with Mohamed Elneny, Ramsey presents a creative person in the final third of the pitch. Something that couldn't be supplied by Coquelin or Elneny when both duet.

Ramsey made one assist for the first goal of Alexis and violations to himself in front of the penalty box made a goal. The Wales midfielder also played a steady and calm.

Rarely, he makes a nervous face when receiving the ball in its area. After not playing in some games, he appears to be more muted.

Giroud? He did not score a goal and make fans complained several times with a touch that was sometimes seen as Niklas Bendtner having a bad day, which was quite often. But Giroud also "instrumental" when set-up a free kick from Alexis became the second goal.

Let's replay the second goal and notice how the striker exchanges meaningful views with Per Mertesacker. Both became "wall of illusion" that disrupt the wall of WBA players.

Mertesacker ensured his position with Giroud was appropriate by looking one time at Scot Carson. When the ball was released by Alexis, both simultaneously dodge, provides a pathway for the ball toward the WBA goalpost. Additionally, Giroud also solid as a ball reflector, especially in the second half.

Do not also forget the decision to play Mertesacker replaced Gabriel Paulista that in the last two games look wild and did not play with the composure of a defender.

Mertesacker excels in taking a position as a duel with the opposing striker, something which is still a weakness of Gabriel. The Tall defender from Germany is also a ball-playing defender who better than Gabriel. Vertical Progression he did was always clean and facilitate Elneny or Ramsey to receive and distribute the ball.

The first goal was created beautifully by Alexis. After receiving the ball from Ramsey, he control and quickly turned, leaving Sandro chasing the wind.

The shot trail was open widely after turning and outwit his marker. He thrust the ball with the instep. His strike hard, along the ground, avoiding WBA player who attempted to block, and goals.

Then the camera moves quickly panned to the bench. The reserve players happy, the staff laughed happily, while Wenger only calm.

He stood up when the goals came and clapped lightly just as afraid of the high settings become tangled when trying to celebrate by sliding as unemployed from Portugal did at Old Trafford.

Wenger threw a thin smile when Alexis ran to the corner of the field to celebrate a goal with fans. Although thin, but a cold smile was actually meaningful in, and there was a bit of anxiety looming.

A thin smile and anxiety are a proof that Wenger actually thinks of somber shades at the Emirates. Although proud and impressed no matter the attitude naughty fans, but Wenger might be the most caring person. Anxious turmoil was legible from the thin smile.

Then the second goal occurred at the end of the first half. This time, there was a little celebration. But just a little, still with a slight smile and anxiety that have not been swept away completely. Behind the wrinkled face, Wenger tried to bury his ego with difficulty. He failed for me, anxiety still chasing him.

Wenger did have worried. Despite the assurances and economic support from the management, discontent and rebellion of the fans is not a good image.

If the turbulent continued, do not be surprised if there are a more aggressive movement of fans. The magnificent and elegance's Emirates will look toothless without fans rumble.

Behind the haughty and aristocratic impression, probably there is a storm in the recesses of the Wenger's heart. Violent storms that swinging feeling in all directions.
Although greeting stocked with confidence, the blush spoke louder. Behind the thin smile, Wenger saves his fear, a fear of different situations that He may never have been faced during parenting Arsenal.

Then it becomes a fantasy that we hope we'll soon see when Wenger is smiling loose, happy every week, and share naughty comments and fun typical of him.

But this time, behind a thin smile, tucked emotional rollercoaster that is so thick.
