The fat man has scored in 5 consecutive games, and naturally has become the focus of heated discussions among fans. However, in the English league, former Manchester United star Ruud van Nistelrooy has set a record of 10 consecutive league goals. With one of the five games in which Fat Man has played, including an FA Cup match, Fat Man has scored four goals in a row in the league. The draw for the fourth round of the FA Cup ended that night. Myburgh will take on the Gunners Arsenal away, and the game time is January 31, and coach Karanka and his teammates are depressed after learning the result of the draw; Only the fat man looked excited, haha, providence! Providence! Brother is going to the Emirates Stadium! Haha, brother can brush his face again!

There is no time to wait for the new players to settle into the squad, as Myburgh take on Premier League side Gunners Arsenal in the FA Cup on 31 January. Arsenal is a top club in England from London, with 13 English top flight titles and 12 FA Cup winners. Arsene Wenger is in his 20th year at Arsenal and is a great achievement. However, Arsenal's performance this season has been average, hovering in the third or fourth place in the league, and in the last three games, Arsenal has won two draws and one loss. In the London derby on the 24th, Arsenal lost 0:1 at home to Chelsea. Despite Arsenal's poor recent form, most media outlets are predicting a home win over Myburgh.

Haha, the height has finally grown 0.5 cm taller, but it's hard to find! But the fat content stopped at 3%, along with intelligence, speed, explosiveness and physique. Only strength and agility continue to grow. The fat man asked the system A about it, and A replied that only when the agility reaches 100 can the next stage of training be started. It seems that the data 100 is the limit of my current physical fitness.
Coach Karanka announced the starting line, the fat man started, and the fat man partnered with No. 18 Stuani, No. 21 Ramirez, who was on loan from Southampton, started the game in place of the injured Downing, and No. 34 Foshaw replaced the injured No. 27 Adoma, and the Myburgh team sent the strongest lineup out of the station. Standing in the middle of the Emirates Stadium, the fat man saw the true face of this majestic stadium for the first time, which was much more spectacular than the Myburgh team stadium Riverside Stadium. The Emirates Stadium, also known as Emirates Stadium or Emir Stadium, has a capacity of more than 60,000 spectators and was officially opened in the 2006-07 season.
With ten minutes to go before the official start of the game, commentators Smith and Foster were already talking about the game.
"James, the last game was so exciting" Smith seemed to be reminiscing, "The fans in the stadium call a player's name, this is a rare scene, Pang is too powerful......"
"Well, Tom, don't reminisce about it, you've repeated it in my ear several times." Foster interrupted Smith, "Let's talk about this game!" ”
"There's really nothing to say about this game," Smith said, "at the Emirates Stadium, it's too difficult for us to beat the mighty Arsenal! I just want Myburgh to play at their normal level......"
"Tom, I thought so too, but Coach Karanka sent out the strongest lineup" Forster was a little puzzled, "Maybe Coach Karanka has something else in mind...... After all, Arsenal's recent form has not been very good......"
"I think Coach Karanka sent all the main players out of the station, because he didn't want to lose too ugly!" Smith replied firmly, "The newcomers have just joined the team, and there is a lack of running-in, so this game is very ......valuable for training."
On the field, before the game started, the fat man stood near the center circle and observed the familiar players of Arsenal at close range for the first time. Center forward No. 12 Giroud, who is about the same height as himself, but he is much slimmer than us; No. 17 striker Sanchez, who is less than 1.70 meters tall, is said to be fast and skilled; No. 11 Ozil in the front, excellent organization, good at assisting, living ancient statue,...... The fat man didn't have time to take a closer look, and the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game.
The contest between the Premier League giants and the Championship leaders naturally attracted the public's attention, and the BBC also broadcast the game, and the commentator was still Nick, who had once ridiculed the fat man? Barnes.
At the beginning of the game, Arsenal suppressed the Myburgh team, as a representative of England's technical team, although Arsenal has lost some technical players in recent years, the overall strength is still quite strong! For the first time, the fat man felt the strength of a Premier League team. With the flowing water, many balls are passed with one kick, and the rhythm is not too fast, but the sense of rhythm is very strong. Soon Myburgh was suppressed in their own half.
Although the Myburgh team was passive, they were tough defensively. Myburgh's No. 4 Ayala resisted No. 12 Giroud without falling behind; Myburgh's back No. 8 Clayton and No. 7 Lydebit took turns to defend No. 11 Ozil, and Myburgh's right-back No. 4 Emilio played against No. 17 Sanchez, and it seems that coach Karanka has also done a lot of preparation before the game.
After Arsenal attacked the 30-meter area of the Myburgh team, they began to encounter blockage, and the defense of the Myburgh team's back against Ozil reduced the probability of him passing the threat, and Sanchez began to frequently break through No. 24 Ensue, but the latter was also fast, coupled with the contraction of the Myburgh team's defense and the small space, Sanchez broke through several times in vain. Arsenal started to cross from the wing, but Giroud in the middle didn't take much advantage of Ayala and Gibson's defence.
"James, you're right!" Smith watched the game for a while and suddenly spoke, "Coach Karanka does have an idea for this game...... He did a lot of targeted defensive arrangements for Arsenal's attack......"
"Tom, I saw it too." Foster chimed in, "I just don't know how long this level of defense can last?" If Myburgh wants to make a difference in this game, they must play a counterattack......"
BBC commentator Barnes is also analysing the situation of the two sides to the audience: "Myburgh team shrinks to defend in their own half, which is also a common strategy for weak teams against strong teams. Arsenal's technical advantage is obvious, but Arsenal has not many ways to attack the front of the Myburgh team, Ozil is strictly defended by the opponent's back, Sanchez's breakthrough space is too small, and Giroud faces the opponent's tall central defender, and there is no physical advantage. Perhaps, Arsenal could try to shoot from distance, draw the opposition out, and then look for open space to attack the middle. ”
Myburgh fans watching the game in front of the TV at Myburgh House Bar are having a lively discussion about the game.
"I think the chances of Myburgh winning this game are slim, I just hope the team doesn't lose too ugly...... a big man fan.
"I look at the odds of this game, Myburgh is 10 to 1, and we only have a 10% chance of winning!" Said a fan with glasses.
"I only care about Pang's performance, and since the last match, I've been a supporter of Pang!" A strong man said.
"Myburgh won't have too many scoring opportunities in this game, it depends on the ......play of Pong and Stuani in the front line," said a veteran fan.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" at the bar counter not far away, and everyone immediately turned their heads. It turned out that it was Clarkson, the owner of the Myburgh House bar, who made the noise.
"If Myburgh wins this game, the whole game will be free of charge. Because I bought a £1,000 lottery ticket to press the Myburgh team to win! Clarkson said arrogantly.
"Oh my God, that's amazing!" "That's a lot of money!" "Good luck today!" "Team Myburgh, win!" The atmosphere of the bar suddenly became lively.
On the pitch, Arsenal began to try to shoot from distance after repeatedly attacking the middle and flanks to no avail, but the Arsenal players have been in poor form recently, with Mesut Ozil and Sanchez both firing from long range, and Myburgh defending more vigorously. After the defense was done, the Myburgh team played Arsenal's counterattack, but Arsenal's defense was also good, withstanding several counterattacks by the Myburgh team, but it also paid a lot of price. Back midfielder No. 16 Rashem tackled Stuani and received a yellow card, and No. 4 Mert Sack also received a yellow card for pulling the fat man. The first half was a 0-0 draw.
"Tom, what were your thoughts on the first half of Myburgh?" At halftime, Foster exchanged with Smith again, "In the second half, do we have a chance?" ”
"Myburgh played at a normal level in the first half, but we didn't fight back strong enough! Arsenal were in control of the situation on the pitch, but they didn't do well in attack. Smith said, "If Arsenal were still in this form in the second half, I think we had a chance to ......"
At halftime, the fat man returned to the away team's locker room and silently summarized the gains and losses of the first half. In fact, in the first half, the fat man got a chance, and the fat man received Stuani's pass and got a one-on-two opportunity. At that time, the fat man had already dribbled the ball over the veteran Mertesacker, but in the face of Koscielny's supplemental defense, the fat man hesitated, and was pulled by the Mertesacker who returned to the defense, although Mertesacker received a yellow card, but the fat man also lost this great opportunity to score.
'Against an opponent like Arsenal, you have to be resolute when you counterattack without the slightest hesitation. When you have the opportunity to shoot, you must be decisive when you make a move...... fat man silently reminds himself.
