Chapter 211: The Gunslinger of the Last Fight

"McLaren really wasted this good hand. "After the game, looking at the Middlesbrough players who walked off the pitch depressedly, George's evaluation of McLaren was even lowered a few points before the game, and his words were full of regret for the ending of Middlesbrough, "Obviously there is Hasselbaink, but McClaren didn't try to find a qualified defensive partner for him, and he also got a similar style of Viduka from Leeds United, which resulted in an unnecessary waste of resources."www.biquge.info Moreover, in the case of obvious physical superiority, he did not give full play to this advantage, and still held on to the outdated wings and long passes, and as a result, the whole game was led by our noses, and finally lost this game in a daze. ”

For a team like Middlesbrough, who have been in the middle of the league all year round, a strong squad is often much more important than strengthening the depth of the bench. Because they only have to deal with one front most of the time, they can be distracted from domestic cup competitions and compete for the League Cup and FA Cup, which the big clubs rarely focus on.

To be honest, McClaren's pre-match set-up ability is not bad, otherwise Eriksen would not have selected him as an assistant coach of the England national team. But the problem is that McLaren's narrow vision, backward tactical theory and always slow pace of on-the-spot adjustment have erased these advantages that he originally had, leaving the dominant Middlesbrough at the mercy of others on the pitch.

In George's view, it was these two reasons that led to the successful defeat of Middlesbrough by Tottenham Hotspur who played as a substitute in this Carabao Cup match!

"If Middlesbrough doesn't get a European place at the end of the season, McClaren will have to take the biggest blame!" said George, who had seen McClaren's poor performance after the press conference. He now really feels that the FA in his previous life chose McLaren to succeed Eriksen, and he was definitely kicked in the brain by a donkey!

"yes. Old Charlie, who was walking on the side, also nodded approvingly, "McLaren, he is actually more suitable as an assistant coach than to be the head coach of a team to command the overall situation." Unfortunately, he himself apparently did not have this self-awareness. ”

After watching their side knock out Middlesbrough and progress to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, Tottenham fans finally had their long-awaited match, the north London derby against Arsenal!

Leaving aside the historical grievances between the two clubs, Tottenham and Arsenal are bound to win this game. Tottenham, of course, wants to further consolidate their lead in the standings to resist Chelsea's increasingly ferocious pursuit of points, while Arsenal, in addition to taking advantage of this derby to close the gap between them and the leaders, also intends to eliminate some of the negative impact of the tax evasion scandal, so that the team can stop the decline and return to the ranks of the championship group!

Although Parlour has moved to Middlesbrough on a free transfer, he has left the Gunners with a mess. Without the aura bonus of unbeaten league wins in the previous world, the scandal of Arsenal's collective tax evasion has become the most frequently mentioned topic of this summer's reigning champions, seriously affecting the game status of players such as Henry, Pire, and Campbell, making the Gunners' situation much more difficult than in previous lives.

Although there have been similar rumours of teams such as Middlesbrough and Leeds United before, none of them have made a big move with Arsenal, and no club has been as conclusive as Arsenal, and has been arrested by the judicial department. Therefore, Arsenal has been very passive in public opinion during this time, almost to the point where everyone shouts and beats!

Originally, the FA and the Premier League company did not intend to intervene in this matter, but Wenger's remarks accusing the referee of unfair punishment after losing to Manchester United in the tenth round of the league angered these two bigwigs - after stabbing such a big Lou Zi and not reflecting on it, and daring to come to us for trouble, is it impatient to live?!

The result was clear, Arsenal's situation did not improve, but was overtaken by Chelsea behind them, and they fell all the way to third place in the table.

In this regard, George can only say that this is a typical example of not dying - Arsenal, you have been caught with unclean hands and feet, and you don't clamp your tail and act in a low-key manner during this time, and dare to take the initiative to jump out and talk to the referee. Is it true that the FA and the Premier League are soft persimmons, and you can be bullied?

So, when the calendar turns to November 13, the north London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal has caught the eye of almost every Premier League fan. Everyone wants to know whether the script of this game is whether Tottenham will continue their unbeaten derby record with the Gunners and continue to lead the table, or whether Arsenal will declare the return of the king with a victory in this round!

"Lads, I'm sure you all know how important this game is. So, I'm not going to repeat the same old tune here. In the away dressing room, looking at the Arsenal players sitting around him, Wenger's expression was unusually serious, "Victory! Anyway, we have to take a win from here today! Everyone remembers to me that only by beating Tottenham and closing the gap between us and them will we have a chance to divert the attention of those damn media and turn around the negative impression of us!"

That being said, in reality, Wenger's heart is also quite bottomless. After all, Tottenham's form this season has been too strong, not only have they not lost a game so far, but even the draws have only been two, and this is due to the Champions League game in midweek. And, most terrifyingly, Cech has not conceded a goal in 14 consecutive league games!

The heroic performance of the Czech goalkeeper has made the total number of goals conceded by Tottenham in the league still a bare zero when the Premier League is about to pass a third! In the face of such a first-class goalkeeper, even Arsenal, which has the strongest offensive firepower in the Premier League, Wenger does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to break the goal guarded by the Czechs!

At the same time, the home dressing room where the Tottenham players are playing was enveloped by a similar atmosphere. However, compared with Arsenal, who put on a posture of "mourning soldier", the atmosphere on Tottenham's side is a little less tragic, and a little more cautious and dignified when they are about to play against a strong opponent. Although Arsenal have been in poor shape lately, the emaciated camels are bigger than the horses, so they can't afford not to be careful.

What's more, Arsenal is still one of the strongest teams in the Premier League in terms of strength, and it is only because of off-field factors that it has fallen to this point. So, if they feel that the Gunners have been in poor form of late, they can relax a little bit in this game, then what awaits Tottenham is likely to be an unforgettable lesson!

And when the players from both sides followed the referee on duty of the game, Premier League whistle Bennett, onto the lawn of White Hart Lane, the atmosphere in the stadium reached its peak!
