David Winston and Arsène Wenger did not answer too many questions from reporters in their pre-match press conference before the game, and only gave a few perfunctory answers that were as simple as gold, and all their attention was focused on today's official game.
David Winston's starting lineup today is still the familiar 4231 winger play, which was the most popular at the time.
The goalkeeper is still Sebastian Frei, and the back line is Nikki Shorey, Roberto Ayala, Luis Pereira, Stefan Lichtsteiner. The back pair are Miguel Arteta and Clemens Fritz, with David Silva in front of them. The two wingers are Frank Ribery and Franmikyl Smitchell. The striker is David Villa. David Winston's tactical thinking is still to play team football, play defensive counter-attack, rely on the advantages of the team's young players and speed, and play with agility and mobility. Play every counter-attack, watch out for every Arsenal counter-attack, and then it's up to the Southampton players on the pitch to take every attacking opportunity they create.
Let's take another look at Arsenal's starting line-up with a 4411 formation. The goalkeeper is German goalkeeper Jens Lehmann, and the back line is the starting fixed four defenders that David Winston has been watching the video for the past two days. At the back were Garr Klich, with centre-backs Filipe Sylvain Sendros and Kolo Toure at centre-back. At right-back is Lauren. The midfield line is Ljungberg, Francisco Fabregas, Mathieu Flamini, Robert Pire, with Dennis Bergkamp, the Ice Prince as the shadow striker, and Robin van Persie as the striker.
David Winston looked at the list of the Arsenal team and had to sigh, looking at these familiar names, remembering when David Winston was an ordinary little fan in his previous life, at that time, he was saving up to buy sports newspapers every week for school and breakfast, and at that time almost this newspaper was all his hobbies. At that time, he looked at the stars in the pictures in the newspapers, and David Winston fantasized every day that one day he would become like them. Every time I look at a newspaper, I hope to read it for days, but the result is that I read all the newspapers in one night, and then wait for the next newspaper with anticipation. David Winston's mind returned to the game, looking at these familiar stars of European football, his heart was still excited, but this mood ended after a while, because he is no longer the student who held fantasies every day in his previous life, and now he has become very different, now he has become the manager of the Premier League team Southampton, and now he is the head coach of the famous scenery, so even if he has such a mood, it can't be too obvious, After all, there are no fewer stars in his team than them. David Winston looks at the list of his team is also star-studded, in his previous life, this is also a very strong lineup, these players are also David Winston's favorite stars in his previous life, but in the current world David Winston has become their leader, which still makes David Winston quite proud.
David Winston sat on the bench and thought about so many messy things, and with a crisp whistle from the referee, David Winston's boring thinking was broken, allowing David Winston to return to the game in time and watch the game with peace of mind.
The competition has officially begun. The visitors' Arsenal team kick off first. Arsenal team after the opening appeared to be impatient, patiently on the field to control the ball and pour the foot, this is also the Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger watched the Southampton team in these rounds of the game summed up the experience, that is, can not let the Southampton team play a fast pace, once the initiative on the field unconsciously to the side of the Southampton team, then they are very good at using their own characteristics of the players in the team to make the game unconsciously speedy, and then unstoppable. Arsène Wenger knew he had too many veterans in his squad to be harassed by the young lads at Southampton, so he demanded that his players slow down from the start and keep control of the ball firmly at their feet. Possession of the ball and playing ground coordination are precisely their strengths, so the Arsenal players are still passing around in the face of Southampton's wanton pressing, and they are not affected in the slightest, even if the strongest man in the team, Thierry Henry, misses the game due to injury, but the other Arsenal players are still confident that they can win this game.
David Winston also admires the Arsenal team's innate tradition of passing, elegance, art seems to be forever associated with this team, watching them play is a wonderful enjoyment, clever coordination, wonderful goals, continuous passion, this is one of the reasons why Arsenal fans have always loved this team. David Winston knows this, which can be seen from the scene, David Winston watched the few Arsenal fans in St Mary's Stadium waving their flags, and then shouted the loudest voice in his body to cheer for the Arsenal team, hoping that his strength could be integrated into the hearts of the players in the game, giving them unlimited strength, helping them overcome obstacles and achieve the final victory.
David Winston looked at the steady Arsène Wenger on the bench next door, dragging his cheeks more calmly and watching the progress of the game, in his impression, Arsène Wenger seems to have always been like this, very calm, with gray hair, in a blink of an eye, the professor has long passed the retirement age, but the Arsenal team still cannot find a suitable replacement for his retirement.
