Chapter 317: The Barefoot Are Not Afraid of Wearing Shoes

Arsene Wenger is pleased with the current state of the team, five points clear of fourth-placed Manchester United, and a win to shake off the eight-point gap between United and at least stay at the top of the table before the Christmas Express.

Many media and fans are worried about Arsenal's form, can they withstand the pressure and continue to perform well?

Arsenal have been doing very well until Christmas, only after February did they start to decline, then they almost fell in March, and then in April, the team recovered and chased points like crazy.

Well, by the end of the season, a solid top four.

Speaking to the media before the game, Arsene Wenger said: "What pressure will there be on Arsenal to take the lead? I didn't feel it, the pressure should be second and third, and I don't know about the fourth, they don't know what the pressure is. ”

At this time, the fourth place in the league is Manchester United! Arsene Wenger's smile was meaningful.

Arsene Wenger also teased the yellow card Pique received against Chelsea, saying: "If it weren't for the referee's favouritism and mistakes, Manchester United would have been a mid-table team right now. ”

As for Kaisa, Wenger doesn't have a good evaluation, he can't buy Kaisa, and he doesn't want Kaisa to have a good performance against Arsenal.

"As for Kaisa, I can only say that he is a good player, but there are too many good players, and we have good players in the team, like Nani and Nasri, they will definitely surpass Kaisa in the future."

The player I almost bought back then, won the Ballon d'Or, and won the best player in the Premier League for a second time, and I don't feel happy when I think about it. Arsene Wenger also believes that Nani and Nasri have not been weaker than Kaisa at all during this period, and Arsenal's record is even better.

At least not a pitiful 1:0.

Nasri arrived at Arsenal and quickly integrated into the team. Recently, he has exploded, scoring 4 goals and 2 assists, and his performance is extremely eye-catching. He saw that Kai Sa's goals did not seem to be much more than his own, and his heart suddenly moved with distracting thoughts.

"Kaisa has only scored four goals recently and has no assists. But I scored 4 goals and 2 assists and I don't know why he was rated so highly and I was just a normal star. ”

He was very unconvinced, didn't Kaisa just come for a few more years? Amazing, huh?

"I think I can challenge Kaisa, he's not as strong as he thought. Manchester United's dominance dropped a notch without Cristiano Ronaldo and now we are the top team in the league and they are only fourth in the league. ”

Ferguson knew what Arsenal was saying, and he smiled, "We are going crazy if they want to win." But it's normal because we played against Arsenal and the record has been very consistent, just winning. ”

"As for Nasri's strength, I haven't touched it yet, so it's probably good. But I don't think anyone can compare to Kaisa today. Even if Ronaldo and Messi are not good, although they are very good in terms of technique and spirit, they do not have Kaisa's leadership. ”

"I want to believe that the team will get better and better, I am happy with the progress of our run-in, and the new players are integrating into the group."

Kasa was even simpler, "Nasri wants to challenge me? Nani wants to challenge me too, everyone wants to challenge me, why? Because I'm at the top, but I'm not going to take their challenge, they're not qualified yet. ”

'When they become the top 10 players in the Ballon d'Or, I might think they're good, but right now, they can only say so-so.

Kaisa's domineering response made Nasri angry, and he decided to match Kaisa in the game to kill Kaisa's majesty. The most important thing is that the team is in very good form and definitely stronger than Manchester United.

The game came quickly, and Arsenal fielded their strongest starting line-up, 451 formation.

Goalkeeper Almunia and Sania, Garra, Sylvestre and Klich in the back line, this backline has been running in for some time and is quite solid, conceding only two goals in the first five games.

The midfielders are Nani, Cesc Fabregas, Ramsey, Pressure Mountain Song and Nasri, Nasri and Nani started at the same time, and there was also the extremely fast Walcott on the bench, as well as the extremely technical Denilson, a strong soldier.

In the forward position, Saha did not let occupy the starting position, and in the first 11 rounds of the league, Saha scored 5 goals and performed quite well.

Most importantly, he has scored more league goals than Robin van Persie, much to the satisfaction of Arsene Wenger and Arsenal fans. It's a good deal.

On the bench, there are also two forwards, Eduardo and Bendtner, who are also very strong, and they also see Wenger's confidence, piling up strikers, and he clearly wants to play against Manchester United and does not worry about the problems of the backline. Neither Eduardo nor Bendtner suffered major injuries, which can be regarded as a butterfly effect brought by Kaisa.

In fact, Arsenal's formation is more like 4231, with Cesc Fabregas and Song dragging behind, sending strong fire support to their teammates.

For Manchester United, Robin van Persie is injured and has missed the chance to face his former club.

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, Valencia, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra at the back. Injuries to both Neville and Brown caused problems for Ferguson, who ultimately opted for Valencia and O'Shea failed to get a chance to start.

The midfield quartet, Ryan Giggs, Mikel, Michael Carrick and Silva, is strong in attack and defence, and Silva is gradually integrating into the team and performing better and better. Mikel was able to provide strong midfield protection, stealing a lot of Fletcher playing time and gradually becoming a regular starter.

Scholes has faded out of the starting line-up due to age and form issues.

In the forward position, Kaisa and Wayne Rooney are partnered. Wayne Rooney's family problems have been resolved, his form is picking up, and he also provided an assist to Kaisa in the last round of the league. The tacit understanding between the two is getting better and better.

At the start of the game, Manchester United took the lead in attacking.

Kaisa is very active, and when he wants to get the ball, he chooses to attack on the right side as soon as possible, facing the excited Nasri.

Nasri is like a big enemy, he is not stupid, provoking Kaisa just to become famous, of course he knows Kaisa's strength, he doesn't have to defeat Kaisa, as long as he can limit Kaisa in defense, his popularity will be greatly enhanced.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, it's that simple.

Nasri saw that Kaisa deliberately gave him a chance, very focused, squatting slightly, ready to burst out at any time, "Here it is, this is the strongest player in the world, my goal." ”

Kaisa pushed forward slowly, smiling, and said, "I know you want to be famous, I'll give you you." Now I'm breaking through your left hand side, and you're going to guard against me! ”

"Don't talk big, the side road is so narrow, how can you get by?" Nasri leaned slightly to the left.

Kaisa really moved, and the ball was pulled from his left foot to his right foot, making a breakthrough. Nasri was excited, there was only one kick here, the ball would soon go out of bounds, and I won.

But he saw Kaisa run over from his body, what about the ball? Nasri hurried back.

A shadow blocked his vision, a shadow falling from the sky, no, it was a leather ball, and the ball actually flew in the air, drawing a beautiful arc.

Immediately afterwards, the ball fell gently to the ground, right in front of Kaisa, like a puppy raised by Kaisa, obedient and obedient. Kaisa stabbed lightly and quickly approached the big penalty area.

Rainbow overlooked!

Nasri's voice rang out in his ears, "Too bad......"19
