At the post-match press conference, Wenger appeared quite humble when facing interviews from Fleet Street.
Because he knew it was still very early in the season, and the team was far from the time to lose their good reputation.
"We were lucky in this match. Scoring the winning goal in the last minute against the opponent can only be said that god was on our side in this match."
"Chelsea is a very strong opponent, there is no doubt about that."
"I have respect for Carlo, he is an excellent coach."
"Fly? Oh, he is the future of Arsenal. With him, Arsenal's future is limitless!"
"Rafael? He is great, he proved himself, the winning goal in the final moments was outstanding!"
"I am proud of our lads, the victory in this match is well-deserved for them."
"The season has just started less than two months ago, it is too early to talk about competing for the title now. We have to wait until at least March next year to continue discussing this topic."
When Ancelotti was interviewed after the match, he emphasized the opponent's excellence and their own misfortune.
"It is regrettable that we lost the match in the final moments."
"The opponents performed excellently, they have many talented players, it is simply amazing!"
"The player who impressed me the most was Fly. In the period from the 60th to the 80th minute of the match, this kid single-handedly destroyed our right flank."
"I have to admit, I still underestimated him before the match, thinking that Chelsea's veterans' rich experience could restrict Fly."
"Now it seems that this kind of talented player cannot be restricted by experience."
"But I think the key reason we lost the match was still bad luck."
"If this match could be played again, we would have at least a 50% chance of winning it!"
When facing reporters' questions about the League title, Ancelotti smiled honestly, "Actually, by losing this match, we are only 4 points behind Arsenal."
"With the League having just started with only seven rounds, this point difference is almost negligible."
"I am still full of confidence in our season!"
After the match ended, the result of Arsenal's 3:2 victory over Chelsea quickly spread throughout England.
Even because of Fly, many media outlets from other countries also paid attention to this match concerning the top spot in the Premier League!
Of course, their focus was more on Fly's performance.
If Fly's invisibility in the first half made many foreign media breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that Fly was just a softie in tough matches.
Then in the second half, especially the performance during the period from the 60th to the 80th minute.
It directly made major Europe powerhouses, football media, and professionals truly realize how strong Fly was, and that his reputation was by no means undeserved!
You should know that he was facing the Iron-Blooded Blues, a team that no other team in Europe football today is willing to encounter!
Even Dream Three Barça, if they were to choose an opponent they least wanted to meet in a knockout match, it would also be Chelsea!
After all, everyone knows how Barcelona won against Chelsea in 2009.
There haven't been many matches in the entire history of football that could be named a "tragedy".
Black whistles happen in football matches all over the world every day, it's nothing remarkable.
But to be black to the extent of a "tragedy", according to Fly's memories from his previous life, counting from the 21st century, there is only Stamford Bridge and the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup.
Of course, maybe there were some matches where the black whistles were even more severe than these two.
But they lacked influence and didn't gain widespread attention, so they naturally couldn't be called "tragedies".
After all, there are so many low-level Leagues and semi-professional Leagues around the world, and the results of those matches are largely controlled by the bookmakers behind the scenes.
The number of super tragedies that occur in these matches in a year may be more than the sum of the tragedies known to the public!
But these matches have no influence, not even enough influence in the teams' local areas, so how can they be talked about with relish by the public?
It was such a top strong team that even Dream Three Barça wouldn't dare to say they could beat, yet it still couldn't stop Fly's rampage!
Perhaps Chelsea could use their muscle forest and iron-blooded defense to freeze Fly for 60 minutes, 70 minutes, or even longer.
But as long as he could run rampant on the field for 5 minutes, 10 minutes.
That means the defense against him was not effective!
Because football is not basketball, it doesn't require the players on the field to perform every moment.
One football, 22 people playing, 90 minutes of time, on average each person gets only about 4 minutes of time with the ball.
Among them, due to different positions, the time each player in each position gets is vastly different.
For the front, midfield, and back three positions, midfielders undoubtedly get the most time with the ball, leading players in other positions by a large margin.
Next are defenders, because defenders usually get the ball in their own half where there are the fewest opposing players, and the pressure they receive when holding the ball is minimal, so naturally they get the ball more often.
As for attacking players, the number of times they get the ball is negligible.
If they are wide attacking players, it's slightly more.
But if they are center forwards, they suffer greatly.
The term "sitting in prison", on the football field, refers to center forwards.
Many world-class center forwards often find themselves "sitting in prison" for an entire match.
Because as long as the opposing players cut off the connection between him and his teammates behind him, they can make him just watch from the front.
A forward who cannot get the ball, no matter how strong his individual ability is, what use is he?
His only role is to tie up the opponent's defense.
Many top powerhouses are not afraid of this type of player.
Because they cannot stop this person from scoring, but they can cut off the connection between him and his teammates behind him, making him "sit in prison".
Many media outlets and professionals also thought Fly was this type of player before the match.
They believed that Chelsea's iron-blooded defense, which is etched in their genes, could expose Fly.
The result was naturally a slap in the face, their faces were swollen like pig heads.
Fly's performance against Chelsea directly proved one thing to other teams.
That is, he can destroy the defense of any team in football today.
Remember, ANY!
Because a player that Chelsea cannot restrict, naturally no other team can restrict him.
Not even Inter Milan under José Mourinho last season could do it.
Therefore, many teams' analysts and coaching staff began to study Fly, trying to find Fly's weaknesses to prepare for potential future encounters.
But they didn't know that all of this was futile, because they were facing a cheat that was completely unreasonable and whose ability would greatly improve after a while!
