Due to the popularity of Niu Shuai and Zhu Zeming, Huaxia CCTV Sports not only sent front-line reporters to follow Hull City, but also bought the broadcast rights of Hull City's games this season. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Arsenal has a lot of fans in Huaxia, plus Niu Shuai and Zhu Zeming, and Huaxia contributed the most to the ratings of this game.

After getting permission, CCTV sports celebrity Lu You came to the Hull City coach's seat to conduct a brief interview with Niu Shuai.

"Hello Mr. Niu Shuai, I am Lu You, a reporter from Huaxia CCTV Sports, I heard that you announced the list of starters in advance at the pre-match press conference yesterday, and many fans speculated that this is a smoke bomb, and there must be a discrepancy between the actual personnel who played, what do you think about this?"

Niu Shuai said lightly: "If the players enter the field, you will know." ”

Uh, is that okay?

Lu You complained in his heart, they are all compatriots, and they don't give any face, you won't be a banana person.

"Promoted Maher City have started a four-game winning streak under you, so many fans wonder how you did it?"

"This question still needs to be asked? Isn't it okay to win one game at a time? "Niu Shuai's expression is not mentally retarded and Lu You is hit by 10,000 tons, can this interview continue happily?

Fortunately, the players from both sides began to enter the field, and Lu You also took advantage of the situation to retreat, and the camera crew frowned and said: "Why doesn't he cooperate at all, is he really from China?" ”

Lu You glared at him, Niu Shuai is of course a Chinese, but his experience is blank, just like suddenly appearing in Hull City and becoming the coach of Tiger City, he gradually became known to the world.

When the players enter and line up, the stadium commentary and the stadium screen also routinely report and display the eighteen-man roster of both sides.

Hull City starters:

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Diego Alves

Defenders: No. 15 Calum Chambers, No. 5 Zhu Zeming, No. 23 Martin Cáceres

Midfielders: No. 4 Bastian Schweinsteiger (c), No. 19 Mohamed Sissoko, No. 16 Mathieu Flamini

Up front: No. 8 Jack Wilshere

Left winger: No.7 Sergi Gnabry

Centre-forward: No. 10 Robin van Persie

Right winger: No.18 Joel Campbell

Subs: 25 Erdin Jakupovic, 6 Curtis Davis, 13 Charles N'Zogbia, 17 Stephen Sessegnon, 20 Michael Essien, 24 Jonas Gutiérrez, 9 Aleksandar Mitrovic

Hull City's starting line-up was a 3-3-3-1 formation, a back three without wing-backs.

The starting players and the starting list announced by Niu Shuai in advance are exactly the same, there are no changes, this is not a smoke screen.

And the substitute lineup is also incomprehensible, there is only one central defender and striker, and the rest are all midfielders.

Hull City's 3-3-3-1 formation looks wide in front and narrow in the back, and the two wingers don't have much defensive ability, so it's clear that Tiger City have given up on the wings and the center of gravity is in the middle.

Arsenal's starting line-up:

Goalkeeper: No.33 Petr Cech

Defenders: No. 18 Nacho Monreal, No. 6 Laurent Koscielny (c), No. 20 Schkoderan Mustafi, No. 24 Hector Bellerin

Midfielders: No. 19 Santi Cazorla, No. 34 Francis Coquelin, No. 11 Mesut Ozil

Left winger: Alex Iwobi 17

Centre-forward: No.7 Alex Sanchez

Right winger: Theo Walcott

Subs: 13 David Ospina, 3 Kieran Gibbs, 16 Rob Holding, 29 Granit Xhaka, 15 Alex Chamberlain, 35 Mohamed Elneny, 9 Lucas Perez

Still thunderous 4-2-3-1, the starting line-up and the midweek Champions League tie rotated two players: the goalkeeper and the right winger.

Niu Shuai is very confident, but not blind, if a head coach is still timid in the face of a strong team, and is timid before fighting, then there is no need to play the game, just admit defeat.

Although he has made full preparations for this game, in order to give the players the confidence to win, he is very confident in front of the outside world, but he knows in his heart that compared with the opponents in the first four games, the run-in is getting better and better, and the Gunners who are starting more and more stable are completely pressed into the team that is still running in in terms of technology, and the advantage of facing strong opponents in the first four games will be wiped out in front of Arsenal.

When preparing for kick-off, Arsène Wenger, the Gunners coach who likes to be "late", walked to Niu Shuai "belatedly", and after greeting Darko Milovic and Mike Ferran, when he shook hands with Niu Shuai, he patted Niu Shuai's shoulder with a smile and turned back to his coach's seat without saying a word.

Niu Shuai pursed his lips slightly, where did Uncle Wenger get his confident smile?

Standing on the sidelines, Niu Shuai's face was calm, although his eyes were always on the field, his mind was already running.

Referee Roger Easter blew the opening whistle and it was the Arsenal players who kicked off first, with the Hull City players pressing the old trick of pressing high immediately after kick-off.

Looking back on the first four games, Hull City's unique high pressing made the opponent very uncomfortable, and forcing the opponent to make mistakes often lead to mistakes, so Tiger fans are looking forward to the home team that is good at pressing high in the opening stage to repeat the miracle of the first four games on Arsenal.

However, the reason why a miracle is a miracle is that it is indispensable, and it is already against the norm to have four times, and this opponent will not let the miracle happen again.

It seemed to have been prepared for Hull City's high pressing, with Arsenal's front three and Mesut Ozil dropping back deeply, and the Arsenal players were pressed by their former team-mates in midfield to defuse the opposition's siege with a quick shot.

Due to the retreat of the attacking players to make the receiving point compact, Arsenal quickly kicked the ball out of the ball and passed it very accurately at the feet of his teammates with almost no mistakes, Koscielny's long pass fell on the left side of the front field accurately, and the teenager Iwobi quickly started to sprint forward to receive the ball, becoming the first team so far to successfully counterattack under Hull City's high pressure.

Niu Shuai raised his eyebrows slightly, Arsenal's kick of the ball to resolve Hull City's pressing, the frontcourt players became the object of the monkey, thanks to the retreat of the frontcourt players, so that the three lines of compact Arsenal passing routes are shorter, not easy to make mistakes, plus Koscielny and Mustafi have a good long pass, Iwobi, Sanchez, Walcott's small quickness is very easy to use their own side of the gap to counterattack.

Fortunately, his response is also targeted, Chambers who can play on the wing, Cáceres who can play all positions in the backfield, Zhu Zeming who was born in rugby all have the ability to quickly chase back, Iwobi's dribbling speed is not very fast, and the chasing Chambers has stuck his inward route, and Zhu Zeming and Cáceres are even more eye-to-eye Sanchez and Walcott, Ozil? Flamini, who has excellent running ability, has already locked in the talented pie feeder.
