Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Lineup of Both Sides

Chelsea's home game against Arsenal is the absolute focus of the Premier League round 5!

"Jones? He's very nice! I've watched him fight, and I miss that feeling! When I think of the feeling of competing with him tomorrow, my blood can't help but boil, and I feel like I am full of fighting power! We're going to win this game. ”

Mesut Ozil was interviewed by the Daily Mirror, and after saying this to the reporters, the reporters went crazy and hyped up tomorrow's game.

"That's big news!" The players on both sides have already publicly spoken to win the next game, and there is too much material to deliberately hype.

The pre-match war of words has long been accustomed to for the team or the fans, and it has almost become a compulsory course before every derby, but because this derby is in the limelight of the Chelsea team, beating the now unbeaten Manchester United, this derby everyone is still more optimistic about Chelsea's victory.

During this period of time, Chelsea's strong performance has made fans addicted, and now neutral fans are hoping that there will be a team that can intercept Chelsea this season and leave enough suspense for the Premier League title, and there are not many teams that can snipe Chelsea now, Arsenal is one.

While fans are accustomed to war of words and will not stop supporting their team, it is clear that the Chelsea fans at home are ready for victory.

On September 17, 2017, London, it was not a very good weather, but it was perfect for an intense football match.

"The London derby is coming!"

"Audience friends, this is the sports webcast channel, I am outside the Turin Olympic Stadium now, 2 hours before the start of the game, we have noticed that there are already a large number of fans gathered outside the stadium!! Long live the Derby!! ”

Outside the Olympic Stadium, crowded with people and flying flags, Turin today belongs to football!!

"Hello, I'm a reporter for Al Jazeera Sports, do you have anything to say about the upcoming derby?" Finally pulled an excited fan wearing an Arsenal shirt.

"Long live Arsenal, we're going to win!"

"Well, obviously this fan is excited! I didn't say anything, but I just supported my team. "Pull the over-excited fan away.

"Jones, you're a little white face! You'd better make a movie, what kind of football are you playing here."

"Long live Chelsea! Defeat them. ”

"You can see that the enthusiasm of the fans on both sides is very high."

"Long live Chelsea!"

A Chelsea fan stood behind the reporter and yelled: "Jones, well done! Costa! Come on! ”

Well, I have to say that sports journalists are really always in this state of excitement to interview, and it's really helpless to be busy on the front line!

"Okay, Snyter, that's what I'm doing here, the fans on both sides are very excited and enthusiastic, and I'll be on the spot when the game starts."

"Okay, thank you for the reporter's report from the field."

Snaith picked up the topic, "Gurlit, what do you think of this upcoming match?" ”

"This derby is destined to be the most classic derby of the season! Chelsea are in good form right now, they have won all of them so far, Arsenal are also in excellent form, this time at Stamford Stadium, Chelsea will be in big trouble, obviously Arsenal will bring a lot of trouble to Chelsea's current season win! ”

"However, Chelsea's current situation is not too bad, you know, in the two teams of derby games, the two sides are never afraid of each other, Chelsea still occupy a big psychological advantage, as well as home advantage, I am still more optimistic about Chelsea."

Arsenal's team bus, the first to come to the stadium, crazy fans, countless Arsenal fans holding jerseys, wearing Arsenal jerseys, crazy yelling!!

"Arsenal! Win! ”

Eun, I have to say, noisy, noisy, invective, crazy, roaring! But that's the derby!

What is Derby? The players will have something called courage that can detonate all the crazy blood in an instant!!

Gullit hurriedly took a sip of water to ease his shock, "I can't believe my eyes, Arsenal played with a three-striker style in this game, is Wenger crazy?" Did he think the team would be able to play against them at Chelsea's home stadium?"

Gullit's partner looked at the list in his hand and smiled a little playfully, "Chelsea's side is also a three-striker!" ”

"Perhaps, because Arsenal's attack is not as good as Chelsea's, Wenger will choose to attack!"

"Anyway, it's something to look forward to! The two sides play against each other, maybe it will be a goal battle. ”

"Well, anyway, this is definitely a way for fans to win back the ticket price!!"

Jones rubbed his head and pinched his face, "Costa, how do you say I feel that I have become handsome again, you say that I can play football and look handsome, how can those ugly ghosts live!" ”

It was Costa's white eyes that responded to Jones; "It's okay, anyway, you're more popular with a little white face like you now!" This is Segura's voice, but how to listen to it, it's a little sour.

Jones punched Segura on the shoulder: "Our friendship boat is going to overturn, how do you know that I am a little white face, I am a real man!" ”

There is a fight here, and Fakahill next to him is not happy, seeing that the big battle is imminent, and the two of them are still fighting on the side, and the two of them who are nervous about the relationship don't take Arsenal in their eyes at all! "Don't make a fuss, this game is very important to us!"

Costa and Jones Segura glanced at each other, smiled thoughtfully, returned to their normal state, and did not continue to say anything

Here, after being told by the captain Cahill, the two were quiet for a while; Jones still couldn't bear the loneliness, "Segura, guess who will score first, let's invite each other to dinner if we guess correctly!" ”

"It's Jones' trick, Segura, don't fall for it!" Costa said.

Jones glared at Costa hatefully and waved his arm at Costa in protest, but Costa was unmoved.

Hey, there are still smart people, En, what did you say in the last sentence? Simple-minded?

Stanford Stadium is now resounding wave after wave of fierce impact! Chelsea! Chelsea!

The players in the locker room listened to the earth-shattering shouts of the fans, and the blue blood was burning! Burn!
