Without superstars such as Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira, Arsenal are no longer as strong as the champions, but they are still a Premier League powerhouse.

If David looks at it, the strength of Notts County is actually in this position, and if all the main forces on Arsenal are there, I am afraid it will be a cut above Notts County!

Last season, he could only rely on the most extreme conservatism to deal with it, and he wanted to be able to play against each other in the game, and this level of improvement was enough to satisfy David.

You know, although Arsenal's results can be more stable, they have no potential to tap, but this is not the case with Notts County, our magpies are still improving every day, and the players are maturing every day.

It looks evenly matched now, but next season we meet and Arsenal will definitely impress Arsenal.

As the tentative attacks of the two sides ended, the game became more and more intense, and the two sides began to face off in real arms.

Arsenal like to play on both wings, especially in the absence of Patrick Vieira, the heart of the midfield, and more often to complete the attack by playing wide flanks.

But this tactic, which is invincible in the Premier League, is a little unsuccessful in front of Notts County today.

Because Notts County's strong point is also on the wing.

In order to curb Arsenal's wide attack, Notts County deliberately put Ribery into the starting lineup, while Iniesta pulled to the right wing, these two players rely on individual ability and impact, plus the cooperation of the midfield, can turn Arsenal's wing upside down, and then dare not invest too much in the wing attack.

In midfield, Notts County removed the midfield position and replaced it with a three-midfield midfield, which could cover the midfield defense more widely, taking over the defense and attack on the wing.

In this way, Arsenal's most advantageous offensive weapons have been contained, and the fight is very awkward.

The wings can't be played, and the configuration of the middle facing Notts County's back three is not dominant, even if you pass more balls in the backfield and brush up more possession, so what?

Intuitively, compared to last season, Notts County's first line of defence has been raised 30 meters forward, which is the most direct reflection of Notts County's improvement.

The first of the two teams is Notts County.

In the 16th minute of the game, Iniesta skillfully took the ball on the wing, and it is not for nothing that later generations were hailed as the best player in the combination of man and ball, as if now, even if the ball is really moving at high speed, it is still firmly stuck to the feet, never more than half a meter away from Iniesta's feet.

After attracting the attention of three defenders, a wide shift found the unmarked Franck Ribery on the left flank.

Ribery stopped the ball directly and wiped it into the penalty area, cut inside with the ball and went to the middle, which had the potential to go straight to Huanglong.

Arsenal's backline was caught off guard and shifted the focus of defence, but it was too late.

Rather than shoot, Ribery slotted the ball across the middle, which he could easily do after disrupting the opposition's defence.

Merreles met the ball in the penalty area and volleyed directly, and the ball felt like it was deformed by his vigorous squeezing.

Lyman faced the shot, although his expression remained the same, but he was actually depressed in his heart, such a close distance, and such a great force, how to pounce!

The home fans at Highbury Stadium couldn't help but let out an exclamation, they never imagined that it was their home team that was the first to fall into danger.

Let's go inside!

Mereles shouted in his heart!

The rest of the Notts County players followed the ball with their eyes on the ball, and their hearts trembled as well.

If they can score, it will be the best compliment to their progress, and they can also break down Arsenal's goal with a fair attack, what could be more exciting?

Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann jumped to his feet, stretched out and struggled his hands to reach the ball, and he was able to do what he could.

But obviously, even the best goalkeeper can't guarantee that the goal will not be lost, otherwise it will not be called the goalkeeper, but God.

After landing on the ground, Lehmann looked at the ball in the goal behind him, extremely frustrated.

Although Notts County has been called a new force in English football by countless media, no matter how fierce the noise is, it cannot change the fact that Notts County is only an English One team, and it is this League One team that has broken through its own door with a sharp offensive in the game, not to mention this depression.

You know, last season he was beaten by Notts County has made him depressed for a long time, I thought I could take revenge today, but I didn't expect that the revenge has not been avenged, but I need to fish the ball out of the goal again, the most tragic thing in the world is nothing more than this.

Even if Arsenal wins Notts County with consecutive goals, the team can also advance to the next round of the FA Cup, but he still conceded a goal in front of the first division team, and this shame will still remain on him, which is really unreasonable.

Thinking of this, looking at the expressions of his teammates in the back line is a little unkind, after all, the team loses the ball, and it is definitely not directly to put the responsibility on the goalkeeper, otherwise what do you want the defenders to do, you are all eating dry food!

Arsenal's conceded goal also annoyed Wenger, although the FA Cup was not included in the list of strategic goals, but after all, it was also the team's main and substitute mixed lineup, this squad won the Premier League, dare not say to compete for the championship, nor dare to say to get the Champions League place, but at least to fight for a strong team position in the middle of the table is not a big problem.

But it's a bit unacceptable that such a squad is the envy of many clubs to death, but it falls behind in the open-top clash with Notts County.

You know, Notts County did not put a bus in front of the goal like last season, but through the overall strength of the whole team to compete with Arsenal at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and did not fall behind, and even the threat of attack was greater, this goal is not the victory fruit of Notts County's overall tactical play!

Turning his head and glancing at Loew not far away, when was he, just a young coach who was not taken into his eyes, he couldn't get a good card or a good tactic when facing himself, he could only rely on tenacious defense to deal with it, but now it's completely different, whether it is player configuration or technical and tactical play, Notts County will not be inferior to Arsenal on the field, completely different.

The rate of progress is terrifying.

Looking at the average age of the Notts County first team, Wenger even felt a chill in his heart.

If Notts County continues to grow at this rate, who will be able to stop them from reaching the top in the future? (To be continued.) )
