wenger:’We need that kind of focus in every game’

On the importance of the win…
“It is a massive win for us because we recently lost two games unexpectedly, and to lose today would have put us 13 points adrift of Chelsea; that would have been too much. It was a test of character and we came here maybe without the needed level of confidence but we showed from the start that we have character and I think we were a bit unlucky to be behind at half-time.

“In the second half we slowly moved on top and started to win the fight in the middle of the park. From then when we had the ball we looked as though we could be dangerous. So I am very, very happy to now, after beating Manchester United, we beat Chelsea and I believe that brings us back. It is still far but not impossible. I have an intelligent team, a talented one, but we want to come back with humility and work hard. We have learned that we need that kind of focus in every game no matter who you play.”

On a slow start…
“In the first-half I think they [Chelsea] started a bit stronger and it took us 15 minutes to get into the game. We were on the back foot and then came slowly in. When we got in we scored an own goal. I had to tell the players to keep the high pace as long as we could because that was when we looked dangerous. I didn’t think we should be concerned by the fact we were trailing, but just to keep the high pace, get closer to their midfield – we had given them too much freedom before – and that changed the game.”

On the team’s title credentials…
“It is true that we have more regrets this season, but the results show we have the level needed to be there [at the top] but it is up to us in the coming months.”

On injuries…
“We have been disturbed by injuries you know, sometimes with nine players out, and that is too many. You can take four or five but nine is too much.”

On getting in the right mindset…
“I believe this is part of the learning process, to win when you are not on the edge. You know you will not be is the same mindset every game, but you must learn to win whenever. I have an intelligent group and a young one. When you think you can just turn up and win, it is not good enough.”

On the performance of William Gallas…
“I think William was outstanding today, absolutely amazing. He came out of that troublesome period with, for me, a lot of credit. His commitment is fantastic and he was outstanding today, and had already been like that against Kyiv on Tuesday night. It shows he is a fighter.”

On partnering Johan Djourou and Gallas in defence…
“I wanted to try that partnership and I believe also Song gives us the stature to defend in the air. Djourou added it too, and we were a bit stronger in the duels and in the air.”

On being a threat from high balls…
“We felt in the first half that we could be dangerous in the air because we had some joy with Van Persie winning some balls and of course with a fit Adebayor, he can win in the air against anybody.”

On Chelsea’s stuttering home form…
“Sometimes it is strange in this game. Remember when we went 49 games unbeaten and then lost, we couldn’t win again for five games. It looks like a sort of charisma goes when you lose a long record. It looks like players have been on top of Mount Everest and then get knocked all the way down, and now you must tell them to climb back up again.”

On John Terry’s challenge on Bacary Sagna…
“I think it was a bad tackle because he had no chance to get the ball. It was not bad because he had two feet on the ground, a sliding tackle, one that wasn’t intended to hurt Sagna.”

On the psychological ramifications of the match…
“I believe the win gives us the belief we can come back [into the title race], but what it does to Chelsea, I don’t know.”

Wenger – Why I see Fabregas as a 26-year-old

By Chris Harris

Cesc Fabregas has long been considered an ‘old head on young shoulders’. Now Arsène Wenger has pinpointed a ‘virtual’ age for the new Arsenal captain.

The Frenchman handed Fabregas his first-team debut at the tender age of 16 years 177 days in October 2003. Now, a little over five years on, the influential midfielder has piled up 213 appearances for Arsenal and will lead them out for the first time in the Premier League at Chelsea on Sunday.

Only Tony Adams has captained the Club at a younger age but Wenger is not concerned about that. Although Fabregas is just 21, the Arsenal manager believes he is closer to 26 in footballing terms and does not expect the captaincy to change the Spaniard’s approach.

“I think first you want him to do his job well and not to be too worried about the rest, and that is the best way to be a captain basically,” said Wenger.

“Play your game well, lead by example, and the rest comes along because I believe that he has experience already, he has [nearly] 250 games for the Club.

“Basically he is 26 instead of being 21 because a player normally at 26, 27 years of age, he has 250 games for his club. That’s why I believe, with the rest, he should just behave like he is used to.”

Chelsea 1-2 Arsenal

By Richard Clarke

Robin van Persie fired Arsenal back into the title race with two goals in three second-half minutes at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

The Dutchman thumped a shot high into the Chelsea net after 60 minutes and then, soon afterwards, beat Petr Cech with a low shot on the turn.

The brace cancelled out Johan Djourou’s own goal in the first half and all but obliterated the gloomy predictions surrounding Arsenal going into this game.

Having lost their last two Premier League matches, Wenger’s side would have been 13 points off the pace had they lost here today and their season’s obituaries would have been penned.

As it is, Arsenal will still be 10 adrift of Liverpool if Rafa Benitez’ side win on Monday. However they have now beaten two of their main three title rivals.

Wenger’s side remain capable of brilliance yet are frustratingly inconsistent, however, they proved once again this afternoon that they have character in abundance.

And that, more than anything, should mean they will be real challengers this year.

Wenger had been without nine players for their last two games. Thankfully three experienced heads – Bacary Sagna, Emmanuel Adebayor and Samir Nasri – returned this afternoon against the Premier League leaders. From the side that had beaten Kyiv on Tuesday, Mikael Silvestre, Aaron Ramsey and Carlos Vela all dropped to the bench while Djourou moved from right back into central defence.

In midfield, Alex Song partnered Cesc Fabregas, who was making his 150th Premier League appearance. Denilson began on the right, Nasri on the left.

Arsenal’s last win at Stamford Bridge had come on February 21, 2004. Until a month ago it had been the last away victory on this ground in the Premier League.

Wenger’s men badly needed a repeat today. Successive defeats had suggested Arsenal might play little part in the title shake-up. It was hard to contemplate, given we were not yet in December.

The opening salvos belonged to Chelsea. Fabregas made a crucial block on Nicolas Anelka and Salomon Kalou went clear onto Deco’s pass only to be flagged offside. Replays proved the assistant referee had been wrong.

Without a goal in 222 Premier League minutes before kick-off, Arsenal’s confidence still seemed to be a little shaky, however they gradually got to the pace in this frenetic derby.

And, in the 14th minute, they would create the clearest chance in the first quarter of the game.

Adebayor had time and space on the right to place his cross to the far post. He found Fabregas, whose shot was kicked away by Petr Cech. As the ball flew out of the area, Gallas narrowly missed the opportunity to turn the ball home.

Fabregas would test the Chelsea keeper again almost immediately but, overall, the visitors’ flurry would be brief.

Almunia had to kick clear as Kalou sprinted through. Then, in the 24th minute, Bosingwa sent over a sharp cross to the near post and Lampard’s bullet header was gratefully clutched by the keeper.

Chelsea were starting to turn the screw. However their opening goal would be more down to Arsenal than the home side.

In fairness, its origins were unlucky. On the half-hour Gallas was harshly adjudged to have fouled Kalou inside the D. Michael Ballack took the free-kick and saw his effort deflected wide for a corner.

Almunia confidently caught Lampard’s effort at the far post but his quick throw towards Nasri on the left was misdirected. Chelsea collected the ball easily and, eventually, Bosingwa sent over a low ball towards the near post that the sliding Djourou turned it into his own net.

Only a superb challenge stopped Anelka from doubling Chelsea’s advantage straight afterwards as Arsenal began to wobble.

In fairness Van Persie forced a fine low save from Cech soon afterwards and then Fabregas fired in another effort from distance. However, Chelsea seemed to be playing with something to spare.

Anelka nearly extended their lead twice in the dying minutes of the half. First when he steered a stumbling header wide then, after Clichy’s error, the striker went clear only to make a hash of his effort.

The start of the second half saw Chelsea nearly extend their lead. In the 51 minute, Kalou tried to feed Anelka but the backtracking Clichy could only tee the ball up for Lampard who swept the ball wide from the edge of the area.

Arsenal needed something inspirational – a piece of skill, a piece of luck, an injustice – anything to lift their game.

And, right on cue, they got it.

On 58 minutes, Chelsea failed to clear their lines and Denilson tapped a pass forward to Van Persie on the edge of the area. The Dutchman looked to be offside – a replay proved he was – but that did not prevent him slamming the ball high in the net.

It was a lifeline and Arsenal grabbed it with both hands and hauled themselves back into the game.

Three minutes after the first goal, Arsenal got a second. Song was fouled by Kalou on the left and Fabregas floated the ball into the area. Adebayor headed it down and Van Persie, running away from goal, reversed a shot through a thicket of legs, beyond Cech’s left hand and into the corner of the net.

An unbelievable comeback that had arrived just when Chelsea seemed set to hammer home their advantage.

Van Persie even attempted to complete a 10-minute hat-trick but his free-kick flew high over the bar.

However, Scolari’s side were far from spent. They would launch an assault on the Arsenal goal in the latter stages.

But it would be based around possession and pot-shots. Almunia was barely troubled and, indeed, Denilson nearly added a third at the death on the break

After the whistle the Arsenal players threw their shirts into the crowd. It was an emotional moment after an emotional game.

They knew what they had done might just change their season.

buat irit bahan bakar

Sebenarnya teknologi twin clutch gear box, double clutch transmission atau ada juga yang menyebutnya dual clutch transmission pada mobil sudah bukan barang baru. Karena beberapa tahun belakangan, teknologi ini banyak diaplikasikan pada mobil-mobil terbaru.

Sampai saat ini tercatat merek-merek Eropa seperti Audi, dan Volkswagen telah menggunakannya, bahkan si Jepang Mitshubishi lewat Lancer Evo X nya juga menggunakan twin clutch. Twin clutch tentunya berbeda dengan mekanisme single clutch.

Bedanya jika mekanisme single clutch menggunakan satu kopling untuk semua perbandingan giginya. Pada mekanisme twin clutch yang digunakan pada mobil-mobil tadi, menggunakan kopling terpisah untuk perbandingan gigi ganjil dan genap. “Gigi 1, 3 dan 5 punya kopling sendiri. Begitu juga dengan 2, 4, dan 6 menggunakan kopling yang berbeda,” buka Tomoyuki Shinnishi, Unit Head Sales & Communication Division, PT Krama Yudha Tiga Berlian Motors, ATPM Mitshubishi di Indonesia.

Cara kerjanya unik. Saat gigi 1 berputar, begitu mau pindah ke gigi 2, ada sensor yang memerintahkan agar gigi 2 berancang ancang dengan ikut berputar terlebih dahulu. Sehingga saat perpindahan dari gigi 1 ke gigi 2, akan lebih cepat karena perpindahan gigi terjadi tanpa ada moment puntir yang terbuang.

Dua gigi yang berputar bersama ini dimungkinkan terjadi karena gigi satu dan dua memiliki mekanisme kopling yang berbeda satu sama lain. Begitu juga saat perpindahan gigi selanjutnya. Akhirnya mesin tak perlu dibebani terlalu berat dengan perbandingan gigi berikutnya.

Efeknya, torsi pun tak perlu dikorbankan sehingga akselerasi makin responsif dan halus. Perpindahan antar gigi pun jadi lebih cepat. “Dan juga yang paling penting konsumsi bahan bakar makin ekonomis,” tambah Shinnish yang asli Jepang inii.

Kok bisa? Ya bisa lah, pada single clutch saat perpindahan gigi putaran mesin pasti akan turun drastis dan untuk mengembalikannya kita butuh bejek gas lebih dalam. Sedang pada twin clutch turunnya putaran mesin akan lebih sedikit. Pasti konsumsi bahan bakar sedikit berkurang.

Tapi sayangnya teknologi ini masih tergolong mahal. Buktinya enggak banyak mobil yang di jual di Indonesia yang sudah menggunakan teknologi ini. Padahal lumayan kalau bisa irit bahan bakar.

Dubai and the UAE

Tomorrow will be the grand opening of the latest addition to the skyline of Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). The Atlantis Palm Resort, with over 1,500 rooms, will be hosting an opening ceremony with celebrities from around the world tomorrow night. The rapid development in Dubai and across the UAE hasn’t all been easy lately, as infrastructure problems (handling rising levels of waste to match massive development), and world financial struggles have slowed progress. Wealthy Dubai continues to grow though, in both land area as new islands are built, and in height as new, taller skyscrapers are planned to best the Burj Dubai, already the tallest in the world.
