112 Battle of Highbury 2
"The game is going to start soon. Before the start of the game, I would like to introduce you to the starting lineups of both sides in this game. Playing at home, Arsenal have Lehmann in goal, Lauren at right-back, Toure and Sigan at centre-back, and Ashley Cole at left-back. In midfield, left midfielder Reyes, Vieira and Edu in the middle, and right midfielder Franck Franck Ribery. Up front are Thierry Henry and Bergkamp. Campbell is injured and will miss a few games, so Arsenal's centre-back duo is still Toure and Sigan. ”
'Look at West Ham's starting line-up. Goalkeeper is Edwin van der Sar, right-back is Zim Bonda, centre-backs are Christian Daly and Pepe, and left-back is Martin Antony. Ribery at left midfield, Mascherano and Carrick in the middle, and Leo Koke at right midfield. The two men up front are Lambert and Arshavin. ”
'Both sides fielded their strongest squads. One of the more unexpected changes for West Ham was Leo in place of Defoe. Defoe has been a big scorer for West Ham this season, but it is not known what coach Chen Ping meant by having him on the bench. Perhaps at Arsenal's home turf, West Ham are ready to strengthen their defence. ”
The players are already standing on the pitch, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle.
Andy Gray first gave you an introduction to the starting lineups of both sides. In fact, in this case, the two sides have no secrets at all. This kind of hard-to-hard game looks at the hard power of both sides.
"Doot-doo-"
The referee's whistle blew and the highlight of the 14th round of the Premier League, Arsenal's home game against West Ham officially began. There has been a big dark horse in the Premier League this season, and promoted Mahsey Ham are currently sitting at the top of the Premier League, six points ahead of defending champions Arsenal, to the surprise of all commentators. And the West Ham manager has already shouted the slogan of the Premier League title. If West Ham win this game, then they will be nine points ahead of Arsenal, which is a huge points gap. And if Arsenal want to get out of the current slump, then they must not afford to lose this game. Because Arsenal have Chelsea behind them. ”
Battle of Mt. Tenno.
This is the real battle of Tianwang Mountain that will determine the trend of the Premier League. Especially for Arsenal, this is a game that must not be lost. If they lose this game, Arsenal will be hit hard.
'Arsenal kick-off first. ”
The more important the game, the more cautious both sides are. After Arsenal kicked off first, they did not attack directly. Instead, I'm going to take control of the ball and see where West Ham stand.
In terms of technical ability, Arsenal are definitely unique in the Premier League. Arsenal's players are very skilled at their feet, which is dictated by Arsene Wenger's football philosophy. The Arsenal players have excellent individual skills, excellent sense of coordination and very good ability to work together.
West Ham are lagging behind in this regard.
But Chen Ping was not in a hurry. Arsenal have a strong ability to control the ball, which is determined by Arsenal's style of football. The real contest hasn't started yet.
'West Ham's fence was solid and Arsenal were down in midfield. Vieira handed the ball to Reyes, who took it...... Sliding tackle, Leo Coke tackling successful. However, this move was a bit big and brought Reyes down. ”
Leo Cork is a very good English player.
It's a very typical England midfielder. Physical, athletic, defensive and offensive, he is England's quintessential central midfielder. It is precisely because I was trained in football in England that I am very familiar with physical confrontation and I like physical confrontation very much.
Tackling is too simple for Leo Cork.
Leo Cork wants to let Reyes, the top genius in Chen Ping's mouth, know that he has to be honest when he comes to England. Reyes arrived in England in the winter of 2004, when West Ham had already been relegated, so it was the first time Leo Cork had played Reyes. Reyes is a genius, and so is Leo Coke.
Leo Cork is an Academy player at Wimbledon and has captained teams at all levels since he was a child. He was not convinced by Reyes, and with Chen Ping's explanation, as soon as Reyes got the ball, Leo Cork directly made a side tackle and shoveled the ball out of the field. By the way, Reyes was directly knocked down. After tackling Reyes, Leo Cork immediately looked at the referee.
After noticing that the referee signaled that it was a throw-in, Leo Cork glanced at Reyes, who fell to the ground, and pouted his lips in contempt. Then he immediately stood up, ignoring Reyes. Since the referee didn't call it a foul, Leo Cork has no interest in communicating with Reyes.
Reyes lay on the ground and didn't get up quickly.
In fact, Leo Coke's tackles are not serious, they are all too common in the Premier League. Just now, he only brought down Reyes, and he didn't go directly to Reyes. But Reyes instantly felt a little afraid, really a little afraid.
The tackle immediately reminded him of a nightmare at Old Trafford.
The Neville brothers' frantic tackles against Reyes, including Scholes, were also involved in the tackle against Reyes. Reyes was violated in that game more than in any other game. There were even a couple of back tackles. What scared Reyes even more was the tackle of those Manchester United players that was even aimed directly at Reyes's ankle. Reyes, who grew up in La Liga, has seen this kind of scene when he can feel the pain in his ankle.
As for the various body collisions, it goes without saying. There are a lot of black, hard players in the Premier League, and their favorite thing is body collision. Reyes' body is not very weak, but compared with these black and hard men in the Premier League, it is much worse.
I can't forget, I really can't forget.
That fight was like the biggest nightmare of Reyes' career, leaving a huge psychological shadow on Reyes. Now that the game had just begun, Leo Coke's tackle, the contemptuous gaze he had when he left, the cold smile, reminded him of everything that had happened at Old Trafford.
It was a nightmare, the biggest nightmare of Reyes' career.
"Hey, José, how are you?"
"No, it's fine. ”
Vieira stepped forward to ask Reyes.
Reyes shook his head and stood up, but the fear in his eyes was palpable. Patrick Vieira frowned, he was very unhappy with the Premier League side's behaviour against Reyes. Ever since Manchester United played this game, all the Premier League teams since then have started to learn this set.
But he was also very dissatisfied with Reyes' performance.
So cowardly.
The more this time comes, the more you should be tough. The tougher you are, the faster this tactic fails. And the more you show cowardice, then all the Premier League teams will learn from that in the future.
Compared to the skinny Fabregas on the bench, Vieira liked it more. After the game at Old Trafford, there was a scuffle between Manchester United and Arsenal in the dressing room passage. Cesc Fabregas was holding the pizza in the dressing room, ran out and threw it straight over and smashed it in Ferguson's face. Compared to Fabregas, this Reyes in front of him is too cowardly. 軒軒書
Leo Coke's tackle just now was ordinary, but it made Reyes look like that.
"If someone else tackles, you shovel it for me. ”
Vieira was friendly to Reyes. Reyes had just arrived at Arsenal and it was Vieira who brought him. Reyes didn't speak, just stood up silently. This is a small episode for others.
There are too many tackles like this in a Premier League game. This tackle only has an impact on Reyes alone.
'The tempo of the game is under Arsenal's control. Edu handed the ball to Bergkamp, who passed it to the left...... Reyes got the ball, and Reyes was a little hesitant about it. Zim Bonda, Zim Bonda is very fast. ”
Reyes really has a psychological shadow.
This time he took the ball, and after seeing Zim Bonda, he suddenly hesitated. Originally, Reyes's strongest ability was to break through, but this time he suddenly stopped. Because he remembered the game against Manchester United.
Reyes, at the time, had a beautiful back-heel lead past Gary Neville. Then when he accelerated to prepare for the attack, Neville, who turned around, was directly a back-tackle, a very dangerous action.
The thought of it scares Reyes very much.
So for a moment he hesitated. Reyes hesitated and gave Zim Bonda a chance. Zimbonda came out right away, and very hard. The result was a kick that poked the ball out, and at the same time did not retract the force, did not close the foot, and the moment the poke ball was also kicked in Reyes's calf.
Reyes fell to the ground in an instant.
"Toot-toot-"
The referee immediately blew the whistle and said the ball was a foul. But because Zim Bonda was face-to-face and kicked the ball first, but he didn't close his feet later, the referee didn't give a yellow card. Just think it's a foul.
"Shhh
In an instant, the Arsenal fans at Highbury Stadium immediately let out a huge boo.
At this time, Vieira, who participated in the attack, was the first to step forward and directly pointed at Zim Bonda to scold. Patrick Vieira and Keane are two captains in the Premier League and two midfielders. Zim Bonda is just a junior who has just come to English football for a short time, and he was scolded by Vieira like this, and he was instantly a little afraid.
But at this time, a person suddenly stabbed out of the oblique and directly resisted Vieira, not afraid of Vieira at all.
It was Pepe in the backcourt who saw Vieira coming up, and he immediately stepped forward to resist Vieira and protect Zim Bonda. Pepe is a notoriously villainous man, and his temper on the field is not good at all. Although Chen Ping used the system to change Pepe's discipline from 3 to 7, so that Pepe could calm down on the court and not do brainless things.
But Pepe's temper is still very big.
Although because of the improvement of discipline, there was no such bad action that everyone shouted and beaten. But the action on the field is still very big, and there is no fear of confrontation at all. So although facing players of Vieira's level, he also dares to hard-top.
"Toot-toot-toot-"
The referee saw the two players clashing, and the hurried whistle sounded immediately. To separate the players on both sides. Carrick from West Ham's side quickly came over and pulled away his own player.
However, Vieira and Pepe were still there and insulting each other. Pepe was held back by Carrick, but was still scolding Vieira as he retreated. Vieira's side Henry also came to pull it.
"It's very rare in the Premier League for a player who dares to go head-to-head with Patrick Vieira. However, the young West Ham player has not flinched at all. ”
Andy Gray was taken aback.
Pepe is just a junior player who has just arrived in the Premier League this season. But he was not afraid of a player like Vieira at all, and he went directly to his teammates. was taken away by Karikla, and pointed at Vieira's nose and scolded.
Vieira was stunned at first.
However, Vieira quickly reacted and was ready to teach Pepe a lesson. It was Henry who reacted quickly and pulled Vieira.
"Pepe, a 21-year-old player, is very similar to Lucio in terms of his style of play. And both are Brazilian players, with good physical fitness, speed, explosiveness, good headers, and strong frontal defensive ability. However, judging from Pepe's performance this season, the 21-year-old Pepe is much more stable than Lucio at the age of 21. Both in terms of defensive positioning and defensive skills, Pepe is very good. And as you can see from what happened just now, Pepe is a player with a lot of mental strength. ”
"But I'm against this kind of big move by the Premier League against Reyes. Reyes is a young talent, and such a targeted defensive set-up against him would kill a talent. The Premier League should do something to protect such a talented player. ”
After Martin Taylor analyzed Pepe's technical characteristics, he immediately expressed his opinion. Martin Taylor is a veteran commentator in England and has a high standing in English football.
He objected to this barbaric treatment of Reyes.
It's all about killing a talented player. Andy Gray, who was next to him, nodded and said, "Yes, this is a lot of damage to talented players." Look, Reyes hasn't played very well in these games. Prior to the game against Manchester United, Reyes was in the Premier League's top five scorers and top five in the Premier League's assists list. Hopefully not ruining a genius like Reyes. ”
Both sighed very much.
Because since the start of the season, Reyes has been very good. The goals and assists are outstanding, and they are in the top five of the Premier League's goals and assists. Unfortunately, after the game against Manchester United, Reyes' form quickly declined.
Two people guessed right.
This kind of targeted foul in the Premier League has become more and more of a psychological shadow for Reyes, which has exceeded many people's imagination. Although the game has only just begun, Reyes has already gone down twice, and his mind is full of nightmares at Old Trafford. This kind of psychological pressure made him more and more restrictive, and he didn't know what to do.
