Chapter 100: Isn't it an iron bucket array?

The home team dressing room on the other side.

Although the location here is much larger than that of the visitors, it is also really as Kevin said, and the FA has also made a copy of the equipment in the visiting dressing room, allowing Wembley to play the role of a neutral stadium as much as possible.

However, Wembley is always in London, and the Arsenal players who have not left London still have a feeling of playing at home.

At this time, Arsene Wenger also gave something to the last words before the game.

"The pass at the back must be steady, and you can't take risks easily!!" Arsene Wenger emphasised.

Luton Town are a team that likes to press up front, and Arsene Wenger's biggest strength lies in that, with a lot of discipline and a lot of fitness, and a team that is completely dominated by young men in their twenties is not a problem in terms of fitness.

"They're probably going to pounce hard!! So we can't be careless later!! Arsene Wenger once again emphasized, "The most important thing in this game is that we must not let the opponent get the opportunity to break the ball and counterattack. ”

"Control the ball and be patient to find their holes!" Arsene Wenger slammed his fist into the tactical board with a thud.

"Sideways!! The flanks are their weakness!! ”

Indeed, compared to the centre, Luton have a lot of space on the wing. However, Gao Bo does not have a very good way, the strength of the team is here, and in the case of defense, of course, it is necessary to give priority to defending key areas.

"We tear the space from the side and make a fuss on both sides!!" Wenger glanced at the disciples around him, and seeing that everyone was concentrating and not distracted, he opened his mouth and smiled: "It's like our training this week." ”

Arsenal have been training sessions around the opposition this week, almost as prepared for the top teams in the league as they have been against the top teams in the league.

In order to reach the final, Arsene Wenger will not allow any surprises.

Four years without a single trophy of weight has put Arsene Wenger under pressure. This season, no matter what, he wants to bring the FA Cup trophy back to the Emirates Stadium!

Arsene Wenger is on the move.

......

With minutes left on the clock, both managers completed their final pre-match mobilization.

By the time the players from both sides lined up on the pitch to get ready for the pitch, the coaching staff of both sides had already done it to the dugout.

Gao Bo took the initiative to walk and shake Wenger's hand.

After all, in the managerial profession, Arsene Wenger is a world-famous coach and a respectable senior. So Gao Bo stretched out his hands and gave Wenger enough face.

In this kind of innocuous thing, Gao Bo can always do a good job. This is probably also related to the experience of his previous life, he rarely has the frizziness of a young man.

Arsene Wenger reached out to shake hands with Gao Bo, who looked at the young Gao Bo for a moment of distraction.

Many managers who play against Gao Bo for the first time are inevitably like this when they meet Gao Bo in real person. After all, he was too young.

He's even younger than some of the players on the pitch. This gave Wenger a feeling that he didn't know how to describe it.

The other party is wearing a suit and leather shoes, although the waist is slightly bent, but his face is full of confident smiles.

Young and promising, I really don't know where this guy came from.

I don't know if I can dig him up and make him an assistant? Arsene Wenger thought.

Of course, Gobo didn't know what Wenger was thinking, but if he did, he wouldn't be an assistant to anyone....

....

"What did Arsene Wenger tell you?"

After Gao Bo returned, the players of both sides had already begun to line up under the leadership of the referee.

Gao Bo stood next to the dugout and applauded with John Aston.

"He said he won, I said it wasn't that easy, and then he said we'll see, and then I said I won and wouldn't mind treating him to a drink." Gao Bo is serious nonsense.

"Really??" John obviously couldn't.

If he had said that this conversation was between Arsene Wenger and Ferguson, he would probably have believed it....

"Of course...... Not really!! ”

Gao Bo looked back and smiled.

John Aston was a little nervous, but when he saw that the manager could still talk and laugh like this, his nervousness was relieved a lot.

The players on both sides are entering, and the fans on both sides of the stands are already more energetic.

From the stands, there was the loud and neat singing of Arsenal fans.

“We‘re by far the greatest team since the world ever seen！ (We are by far the greatest club in the world)"

Gao Bo didn't react when he heard it, he just felt familiar.

"How come I think I've heard this song even at Wo Si Stadium?"

Since the Arsenal fans were singing, the Luton fans were also cheering for the players in the stadium, so Gao Bo couldn't quite hear the lyrics, but he still heard the melody.

"This song is called And it's Arsenal (this is Arsenal), it has a long history, it began to be sung in Highbury as early as the thirties of the last century, and it is considered the earliest cheering song of the English team, so in many stadiums, many teams have also learned this melody, changed the lyrics and sang it themselves." John explained from the side.

"Haha, if the former manager of Arsenal was Kroenke, I guess he would have found other teams to collect the rights to the songs...", Gao Bo laughed.

John and the others also laughed...

At this time, a series of pre-match ceremonies on the pitch have also been completed, and players from both sides are standing in their positions, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle for the start of the game.

Arsenal were awarded the kick-off, at which point Bam Adebayor stepped on the ball at his feet, and next to him was his strike partner, Dutchman Robin van Persie!

With the referee's whistle, Adebayor kicked the ball to Van Persie and then turned and ran forward!

"Okay, audience friends!! Ladies and gentlemen!! The first match of the semi-finals of the 2008-2009 FA Cup season was finally played at Wembley!! The two sides are Arsenal facing this season's FA Cup dark horse Luton Town!! Who's going to walk out of the stadium with a smile after 90 minutes?! Lightkinson grabbed the microphone in the commentary booth and said passionately.

"Maybe a hundred and twenty minutes..."Next to Lightkinson is Arsenal football legend Paul Mawson, who retired from Millwall last season, the Arsenal player who was almost destroyed by alcohol in his youth, has now retired as a football commentator. For this Arsenal game, Sky Sports specially invited him as a guest commentator.

"Do you think this game is likely to be a draw?" Lightkinson asked.

"Look at Luton's formation, they put five defenders in midfield and look ready to hold on to the box for a draw, and while it's unlikely to be successful, I think that's Luton's only chance........," Paul Mawson said from the commentary box.

However, at this moment, there was an exclamation in the stands, and Paul Mawson looked up in surprise.

He didn't see everything that had happened before, all he saw on the pitch was the scene of Vardy holding his head and turning around and running back....

Luton... Got a shot on goal?

Paul Mawson is a little unsure, but judging by the reaction of the fans, it is.

Isn't Luton's game a bucket formation?
