Derby, but all the games called derby, seem to be indispensable to all kinds of topics, decades of grievances and hatred, accompanied by fire and water, really not lonely for a hundred years.

The origins of the love-hate rivalry between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, two rivals in north London, have become less important these days, but more importantly, the relationship between the two clubs has become more solid.

I believe that when the schedule of the new season is announced, many Gunners fans will immediately look for the schedule of the two contract rivals, and of course, Tottenham fans are no exception.

The things that make fans happy naturally can't run away from their mortal enemies, and the incomparable pleasure can even last for a long, long time.

Sworn enemies, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur both know that they are bitter enemies.

And the relationship between mortal enemies is mutual, and one-sided mortal enemies always feel a little weird, doesn't it?

For fans of both teams, the first leg of the new season in the north London derby did not keep them waiting too long, with the first leg of the league clash to be played out in the third round.

This is definitely an unavoidable topic among the relevant figures on both sides.

The derby is not just about the 90 minutes of the game, it includes a long period of time before and after the game, and sometimes even a week before and after, the war has already started early, and it will not end immediately because of the final whistle.

This was the case for Arsenal's match against Tottenham, with the warm-ups already underway a week before the game.

Journalists were already asking Arsene Wenger about the post-match match between Arsenal and Fulham.

Obviously, reporters will not "favor one over the other" because the current Tottenham boss Villas-Boas is less famous than Wenger, and only follow Arsenal's side.

The reporters know very well the truth that the rain and dew are evenly wet, because they know that if a slap does not make a sound, the two parties will pinch each other to be lively.

It is impossible for reporters and media not to go to Boas to understand the situation, you know, this is not a good baby, it can be said that it is very in line with the character of his fellow countryman Mourinho, and there are always some hot topics where he is.

Villas-Boas, known as "Little Mourinho" or "Mourinho Second", will not choose to swallow his anger before the derby.

Villas-Boas wanted to put on a good show, and when reporters approached the Tottenham boss with the facts of the so-called Fulham post-match press conference that "Arsene Wenger thinks the team must win and despises Tottenham's strength", the Portuguese exploded.

"Hehe, sure enough, the head coach should have a few more such characters, and we will eat and drink spicy food when the time comes!"

Why do journalists think this way? In fact, it's very simple, Boas took the initiative to stir up trouble!

"Arsene Wenger says he's confident of his team's victory? He also said that his Arsenal is very confident of winning the championship! I admit that his team has a lot of quality, but it also proves that proving someone is a loser is already a public opinion in society, isn't it? How many years have led the team without a championship, does Mr. Arsène still know in his heart? ”

Villas-Boas doesn't leave any virtue in his mouth, he can say whatever he wants, and if it is more serious, the Tottenham manager's remarks can even constitute a personal attack!

Although it is not clear why he made Boas explode with just a slight tease, it is clear that reporters are pleased with Boas's remarks.

They can't wait for a derby every day, and only this kind of mutual scolding can make people look forward to the game, attract enough popularity and attention under the premise of not revealing the news of crispy breasts and big white legs, and add an extra chicken leg at night.

In the matter of Wenger, it seems that Boas wants to be on par with his compatriots, which is of course normal, who makes them the managers of the rival teams?

As far as the facts are concerned, Boas still has two brushes, and he is certainly not an unknown person.

After all, the Tottenham Hotspur manager was so glamorous during his time in Portugal, and although he suffered the same tragic fate as his "idol" at Chelsea, he did well at Tottenham last season, didn't he? A guy who has a colorful auspicious cloud on his feet is very comfortable doing everything.

Naturally, the media will not let go of this good opportunity to hype, since Boas is willing to be their gunman, what are they embarrassed not to pull their trigger? Whether it's AK, or 60 fire, or even Dongfeng Express, what can be used, eighteen classes of weapons are alive!

So, before the start of the first leg of the 13-14 north London derby, the warm-up for the game began.

It was the first time Ni Tu had felt this kind of derby atmosphere, and the atmosphere of the German national derby between Bayern Munich and Dort did not seem to be as strong as it is now.

All around the world was talking about the upcoming game, and not much was even being followed by the second leg of the Champions League qualifiers.

Of course, there are also people who want to know his opinion on the upcoming heavyweight competition, Hofnog has received more than one call for an interview, but Ni Tu does not want to be disturbed by the outside world at this time, he has to prepare for the showdown with Tottenham.

Arsene Wenger has decided not to field Ni Tu in the second leg against Fenerbahce, who did not even make the 18-man squad.

In Wenger's vision, sending Ni Tu on the field in the third round of the league is the fullest trust in him!

What else can reflect what a manager expects from a player? Of course, it's the most crucial time for the game!

At this time, naturally no one will think that Arsenal has given up Ni Tu or that Ni Tu has any contradiction with the manager, because everyone can see that Arsenal is paving the way for the third round of the league.

Therefore, seeing that Ni Tu did not enter the Champions League qualifying squad, people who like Ni Tu not only did not feel unhappy, but were full of excitement because of the particularity of this time.

Because in a certain state sense, Arsenal's choice has fully illustrated Ni Tu's status in Wenger's mind.

In such a crucial game, choosing to rotate him before this doesn't mean that Ni Tu's status in the team?

In the end, Arsenal, who did not have Ni Tu, played Fenerbahce 2:0 in a rotating lineup at their home stadium and killed the Turkish powerhouse twice.

The 5-0 score over the two legs also allowed Arsenal to successfully get closer to the Champions League main draw, which is already a familiar routine that they are often able to do.

So, despite being happy with the result of qualifying for the Champions League, Gunners fans can't help but focus on the upcoming north London match!

It was a needle-to-needle derby!
