'Tottenham are not used to being favourites in this kind of game and I think it puts a lot of pressure on them. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Asked by reporters who would favour the north London derby to win, Saul Campbell did not hesitate to answer, "So I believe that the winner of this game will still be our Arsenal! because we are a mature championship team! Hehe, don't look at them now they are only two points below us in the table, but they are actually only in the second place of the table because other teams are not familiar with their style of play and have a lot of enthusiasm, just like Southampton and Manchester City did before. By the time their bottom line is figured out and the momentum at the beginning of the season is exhausted, Tottenham's good days will be over. ”

Campbell has a point. You know, since 1994, Tottenham have never been higher in the league than Arsenal. In the league record of the two teams, Arsenal also has an absolute advantage, especially in the past three years, Tottenham has never even won a game against Arsenal in the league!

The advantages of league standings and head-to-head records undoubtedly gave Arsenal enough confidence to attack and taunt Tottenham before the game.

The reason why Campbell dared to be so confident and unashamed in an interview with the Times reporter is, on the one hand, naturally because Tottenham is too miserable in terms of the record of these two teams, and Arsenal has a natural psychological advantage in this encounter, and on the other hand, this is also a strategy of Wenger. After all, Tottenham's momentum in the opening stages of the season has been quite ferocious, and an eight-game winning streak has impressed everyone who watched Tottenham before the season. Although a draw at Bolton Wanderers in the last round ended the winning streak, everyone could see that Tottenham were actually hoping to win that game. Coupled with the lessons of Liverpool and Chelsea, which have been deflated by Tottenham this season, Wenger is actually a little lacking in confidence in this derby with Tottenham Hotspur.

Therefore, under the secret instruction of Wenger, the Arsenal players took the initiative to provoke a war of words before the game, trying to undermine the confidence of the Tottenham players to win before the game started, interfere with the opponent's emotions and pre-match preparations, and let their players establish a certain advantage in psychology and pre-game preparation.

However, as a player who came through the Tottenham Academy and rose to become a top-class centre-back at White Hart Lane, Saul Campbell took the initiative to belittle his parent club in an interview, which was clearly inappropriate.

Of course, in Campbell's own eyes, he was clearly justified in doing so. After all, he is now an Arsenal player, so he naturally wants to help Arsenal build momentum. However, Arsenal fans did not appreciate Campbell's move, but only deepened their disgust with Campbell because of his remarks - you know, Arsenal fans have never regarded the England international, who defected from their arch-rivals Tottenham, as their own, but only as a traitor who came to hug his thighs.

Even if you refuse Tottenham's high salary, one can understand the desire of a top defender like Campbell to aspire to a trophy. However, Campbell's move to city rivals Arsenal on a free transfer, and his continued disparagement of his former club and parent club after the transfer, is a bit too much and beyond what people can afford.

In the eyes of Tottenham fans, Campbell is undoubtedly a traitor and Judas, and in the eyes of Arsenal fans, they also cannot accept Campbell as a player from Tottenham who has serious character problems. Therefore, for Campbell's statement this time, whether it is Tottenham or Arsenal fans, they will naturally not give him a good look.

“‘…… I was very unhappy that the Tottenham fans called me Judas. Because I didn't choose to leave Tottenham for money, but for the pursuit of trophies, I decided to join Arsenal...... 'Campbell, a traitor, is really able to speak, and he can say that defecting to a sworn enemy can be so justified. After reading the interview with Campbell, George sneered and slammed the "Times" in his hand on the coffee table in front of him and knocked over a cup, "Since Wenger doesn't plan to play well, and you still want to provoke psychological warfare before the game, then I'll take it!"

George knew that when Campbell planned to leave Tottenham, in addition to Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool also extended an olive branch to the main central defender of the England national team, and there were top giants including Inter Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid abroad who had scandals with him, but after some consideration, Campbell finally chose Arsenal, which was inferior to this giant's club, for what? It is not the Premier League maximum salary of up to 100,000 pounds offered by Wenger!

"Boss, do you want me to deal with Arsenal in person this time?" Seeing George turn his gaze to himself, John Smith immediately understood his boss's intentions and took the initiative to say, "But boss, isn't it too much to give Arsenal face by doing this? In terms of asset size, Arsenal doesn't need us to do it ourselves!"

"It's too low-end to play a war of words, and although Tottenham have a good season this season, they are still overpowered by Arsenal in the standings, and they are much worse than Arsenal in terms of historical record. Therefore, in the media, we basically don't have any advantage on our side, so it's better to be ruthless from other aspects, so that Wenger, the old boy, will never have the time to play public opinion war with us in the future!"

Since Wenger wants to disturb our military morale by playing off-board tricks, then don't blame me for being ruthless. With that in mind, George devised a counter-attack plan against Arsenal and told John Smith to follow it.

Seeing that his boss had made a decision, John Smith had no choice but to shrug his shoulders, get up and leave George's office, sighing that Wenger was not good at provoking George, and began to arrange the tasks assigned by George.

In addition, although a counterattack plan against Arsenal has been formulated, and it is known that Tottenham does not have an advantage against Arsenal in this war of words, George has no intention of counterattacking Arsenal in public opinion. After all, if you don't respond to the provocations of the Arsenal players, it will also have some bad effects on the team, and it will also give people a feeling of "Tottenham is cowardly", which is not a good thing for building Tottenham's image as a giant.

Arsenal, are you ready?, imagining Arsene Wenger's expression after learning the news, George sneered twice and returned to the intense pre-match preparations. After all, the plan he has just laid out, although it can cause huge problems for Arsenal and Arsene Wenger, will take time to see results and will not have too much negative impact on Arsenal in the short term. Moreover, rather than using some means off the court to interfere with the state of the opposing players, George still prefers the feeling of real victory and defeat with the opponent on the court.

Therefore, against this Arsenal team in their prime, George must give it his all and prepare well to have a chance to win for Tottenham at Highbury Stadium at the weekend!

"Arsène (Wenger), something is wrong!" Arsenal CEO David Dane hurried into Wenger's office the day before the start of the north London derby, and said to Wenger, who was thinking about how to deal with the derby at the weekend, "There is a problem with the construction plan of the new stadium, and some citizens have appealed to the court to stop the construction plan of the new stadium, and the London court has accepted the case." According to what I've heard, there's a good chance that the London courts will halt the work indefinitely until a formal verdict is issued!"

"How can this be?" Wenger panicked after hearing Dane say that there was a problem with the construction of the club's new stadium and that it might even be suspended indefinitely, and quickly stood up and asked his friend, "What the hell is going on? Tell me the details!"

After a brief account by Dane, Wenger finally got the general idea of what happened. It turned out that citizens around the construction site of the new stadium appealed to the court, asking for a ban on Arsenal from building a new stadium!

To be honest, this is not a big deal, and the courts generally don't spend extra effort on this case that has been dismissed many times, but the problem is that the London court chose to accept the case this time instead of dismissing it on the spot!

This is the end of Arsenal's life. You know, in order to build the new stadium, Arsenal borrowed a large amount of money from the bank and took on heavy debts, and the guarantee of Arsenal's repayment is the future commercial income of the new stadium. As a result, the new stadium has been in condition since the day of construction, and in the first half of the year, it was forced to be postponed due to problems with the progress of the project. Fortunately, as soon as the London courts intervene, the construction of the new stadium will definitely be delayed again!

Encouraging local citizens to appeal to the London courts, and then let the London courts accept the case, thereby delaying Arsenal's new stadium construction plan, increasing the Arsenal club's loan repayment pressure and financial burden, this is George's counterattack plan against Arsenal's provocation!

Although this trick is often used in business battles, it is not seen very often in football, and it is normal for Wenger and Dane to be confused.

In this way, on November 8, Wenger, who had not slept well all night because of the new stadium, took two black circles and his Arsenal players to meet their sworn rival in the city, Tottenham Hotspur, who is currently ranked second in the league, at Highbury Stadium!
