Chapter 375: Arsenal fans can't show superiority
Notts County gradually took the initiative because of the advantage of the midfield, and the formation slowly pressed, wanting to break through Arsenal's defense with a wave of attack. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, the quality of a giant like Arsenal should not be underestimated, especially when they have to play on the counter-attack, although they may be more willing to press their opponents head-on to get the chance to score.
Ljungberg is unavailable, Wiltord, a member of the world champions, can also handle it, and with the in-form Pire, as long as he can get the ball on the counter-attack, then he can still make a storm on the wing.
The most terrifying thing is that Henry is like an incomparably sharp blade, perhaps usually not showing its edge in the scabbard, but after it is unsheathed, it is destined to be bloodless and not return.
As a result, Notts County possessed the ball, and Arsenal focused on counter-attacking, although it seemed that Notts County had more initiative, but in fact the threat posed by the two teams was almost the same, which made Loew jealous.
This is the strength of the giants, there are thousands of weapons, no matter what the situation, they can come up with the configuration and ability to compete with their opponents.
What made Loew even more depressed was that under the alternative stalemate, the first goal was not scored by Notts County, which was more aggressive, but Arsenal, who was bent on counterattacking.
Patrick Vieira won the ball and distributed it directly to Pire, who ran wildly with the ball on the French wing, and Kuyt, the Notts County full-back, was too high to stop it, so he could only desperately chase back.
Henry was very smart at this time, directly gave up the space to the middle, and went to the side himself, directly making the defense of Rahm and Westman messed up, and after Rahm staggered a few steps to follow the defense of Pire, the French winger smashed through the back line of Notts County, and Henry, who was inserted from the side to the middle from the side in the offside position, shot angrily at a small angle, Diego Lopes was caught off guard, although he made a save in embarrassment, but could not prevent the ball from flying into the goal.
Rumble!
Highbury Stadium is like a volcanic eruption, falling into a crazy atmosphere, this is the great Highbury, how can you allow others to be arrogant here?
In fact, normally speaking, fans of a club like Arsenal that has entered the category of giants should have a natural sense of superiority, but in the face of Notts County, the sought-after fans are helpless to find that they can't give birth to any sense of superiority, which really makes them feel frustrated.
In fact, Arsenal fans really have nothing to be proud of without mentioning the historical results of both clubs.
Although Notts County is a promoted horse, it is really pressing on Arsenal's head in the Premier League standings, and there is a big black posture;
Arsenal have not tasted a defeat in the league this season, but similarly, Notts County have not tasted a defeat, and it is precisely because they have won more games than Arsenal that they can ride Arsenal's head to show off;
Speaking of the direct confrontation in the previous two seasons, Notts County eliminated Arsenal and then won the League Cup and FA Cup, which can be described as stepping on Arsenal's corpse to successfully reach the top, although Arsenal defeated Notts County in the League Cup a week ago, but it was only a second-tier team of Notts County, and it was not worth writing at all.
The most unacceptable thing for Arsenal fans is that Notts County has already used the new stadium, while they can only stay in Highbury, with a large number of fans unable to enter the stadium for every home game.
You know, Arsenal's new stadium was planned as early as 99 years ago, and it has not yet been put into use, and it only took two years for Notts County to move from the old and dilapidated stadium to the modern new stadium, how can this stark contrast not make Arsenal fans depressed!
Now that Arsenal are finally leading at home, their long-standing negativity has finally been released, so everyone is going crazy and venting like crazy.
Wenger also behaved extremely flamboyant on the sidelines, not at all like his usual elegant appearance, so you can imagine how much pressure he is on.
David frowned, and looked at Loew, both of whom saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Arsenal are leading at home, they can play more actively, and even if they don't care about the criticism after the game, then Arsenal can always defend and counterattack, and Notts County will inevitably fall into a passive situation, especially on the road, the situation is really difficult.
After the game restarted, Arsenal took advantage of the momentum to attack, and after a few rounds, it found that the positional attack was not much of a threat to Notts County, so they slowly shrank back and still fought Notts County with a counterattack.
At this time, Arsenal fans don't feel ugly about counterattacks, because they broke through Notts County's goal with counterattacks, in the final analysis, football is still based on winning or losing, if you can't win the ball, you play in vain.
After that, Notts County's offensive became more violent, and even Deco frequently inserted into the forward position, Westman and Carvalho also often stepped forward, leaving only the pure defensive Qu Yuan responsible for the final position most of the time.
Time passed, and the players of Notts County became more and more anxious, attacking wave after wave, and even pressed Arsenal into the big penalty area, and a lot of opportunities were created, but today the German veteran goalkeeper Lehmann taught the young lads of Notts County a good lesson, and it was he who refused Notts County several chances to score, so that Arsenal's lead was maintained until halftime.
David came to the sidelines and handed the players towels and mineral water like a normal staff member, and at the same time, he could see that the expressions on the players' faces were a little impatient, but not depressed.
He thought that the players were used to playing tailwind, and now their mentality must be unbalanced, but he didn't expect that this is not the case.
In fact, the Notts County players are very good at playing role reversals, which is why their mentality is not out of balance right now.
In many previous games, opponents wanted to use various advantages to suppress Notts County, and Loew naturally let the team retreat appropriately, and then the counterattack attack was more threatening, and this is how the long wins have come.
And now it's like there's a change of role, Notts County attacking, Arsenal retreating, just like a lot of previous games, and thinking about the teams that have been beaten by Notts County, the Notts County players feel that they can't be like that.
Therefore, even if you are a little impatient, you will not be unbalanced, and will only think about how to equalize and win, rather than suffering from gains and losses. (To be continued.) )
