It's not that Xiang Hao is arrogant and stinky, but in Tottenham's team, there is a bigger fish, Modric, who is known as 'Croatian Cruyff', and Xiang Hao is eyeing him.

However, Modric, who is a little shy at the moment, has only played for half a season, playing decently, with occasional bright performances, but it is not conspicuous, and not too many people have noticed him.

But in the future, he will be a very important thigh for Tottenham, thicker than the big St. Bale, because it is the first Champions League experience he has brought to Tottenham in nearly 50 years, which Bale has not been able to do.

It seems that it was Lao Lei's rise to power that completely inspired this small midfielder and made him a real top superstar.

But apparently Jermaine didn't know this, and in his opinion, this was the other party's underestimation of himself, which made him very unhappy.

"Boy, I'll remember you, I'll make you look good in the game."

Jermaine said a few words hatefully in Xiang Hao's ear.

"Yes."

Xiang Hao glanced at him indifferently, and then ignored it, this kind of indifference is even more hurtful.

"Megalomaniac."

"Waiting to clean you up on the field."

"After the game, you have the ability to talk."

…

The players on both sides were not convinced, and they fought with each other.

"That's it! Approach. ”

Disgusted that these team members were noisy, Pol stopped drinking, and didn't let these team members have extra effort to put on their mouths, and led the players from both sides into White Hart Lane.

"Onward, White Rose!"

"To Wembley, to Wembley!"

"Defend your title! We're going to defend the final champion! ”

…

The scorching breath, as the players from both sides entered the field, the entire White Hart Lane stadium roared out in a boiling voice.

At the moment, they are no longer attacking Arsenal, cheering and hoping are their desires.

Just like the Tottenham players did for this game, they are confident that their team can beat their arch-rivals.

"Denilson, you have to remember that No. 14 player, you can't be careless."

After coping with the handshake, retreating to his own half, Xiang Hao hurriedly came to Denilson's side and carefully told him.

Just now, Xiang Hao saw a pair of extremely calm eyes, this kind of gaze, so far, he has only seen two people, one is his teammate Cesc Fabregas, and the other is Liverpool's Alonso.

They don't necessarily all play in the same position, but this kind of person has one characteristic, extremely wise on the field, super strong ability to catch fighters on the field, and his legs have the effect of a magic pen Ma Liang.

A natural commander, it can even be said that they are deadly killers, and it is not necessarily them who score goals, but the person who passes the threat and creates the threat in an instant must be them.

Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard are the kind of people who focus on charging and playing on themselves. Xiang Hao wasn't too afraid.

I'm afraid it's the kind of thing that is silent, and suddenly comes to you like that, tearing a big hole, that's the most dangerous.

Xiang Hao feels that if he wants to play well in this game, he must be optimistic about this "Croatian Cruyff".

"Hehe, it's really funny, in the last game of 2008, Arsenal's opponent was Harry Redknapp, and in the first game of 2009, they were against Harry Redknapp, it seems that Harry and Arsenal are really fateful."

Watching the on-site commentary introduce the head coaches on both sides, Lineker couldn't help but joke.

Although he did not mention that Redknapp was an Arsenal fan in the show, everyone in football knew that Lineker's fun was a little more ridiculous.

Fortunately, they have a good relationship, and Lineker is still a famous name in the Tottenham team, so there will be no problem with those few words of teasing.

'I think Harry met Arsenal in his first game and it was definitely not going to be a happy thing for him.

Gary, tell me what you think, this game, you come first, analyze and analyze Tottenham's side. ”

Lineker is a Tottenham legend, and it was only natural that Mortensen gave him the task.

To some extent, this game is also a dark battle between Mortensen and Lineker.

You must know that one of them is a famous Tottenham player, and the other is a fan of Xiang Hao, half of an Arsenal fan.

This kind of needle-point commentary on Mai Mang is naturally accepted by more open and lively English fans.

"Tottenham Hotspur's starting XI today, No. 1 Gomez, on the back line, No. 22 Joel Luka, No. 32 - Héctor, No. 39 Woodgate, No. 2 Hutton.

In midfield, No. 3 Bayer, No. 6 Hudstone, No. 8 Jenas, No. 14 Modric, No. 5 Bentley; Single striker, No. 9 Pavlyuchenko.

Today, Harry sent out a 451 formation, and there is no doubt that he absorbed last year's defeat, with a focus on clamping Arsenal's midfield.

Once the Arsenal midfield is contained, then Tottenham almost say that they have killed Arsenal in half.

In attack, they sent two strong and physically strong Bayer and Bentley on the wing, and I am afraid that Harry also intends to make a fuss in the two ribs of Arsenal.

In the middle, there is Pavlyuchenko, enough for them to keep the height of the front, crosses and high balls, there is a point of contact.

I have to say that Harry's ability is good enough, he has only been in charge for a few days, but he has been able to adjust the characteristics of the Tottenham team.

This 451 formation, both defensively and offensively, can make Arsenal very uncomfortable, and in White Hart Lane, this game, Arsenal will never be as easy as playing Portsmouth. ”

Lineker confidently said that he strongly agrees with Redclapp's coaching ability.

Glancing at Mortensen, who was holding the starting list and frowning at him, Lineker continued: "Of course, there is another important reason why I am optimistic about Tottenham defending their home stadium in this game.

That's the presence of No. 14 Modric, who belongs to the category that best stimulates the abilities of his teammates.

Although he has only just arrived this summer, he can show his ability to control the team.

With Luka Modric in the middle, Tottenham will benefit from him passing the ball and changing the attacking route. ”

Lineker actually wants to say that he has a player on his side who is comparable to Xiang Hao.

However, such a point of view, compared with the current situation of Xiang Hao's great popularity, is obviously a bit unique, and Lineker does not dare to say it too absolutely.

Because Modric's stats on paper can only be said to be average, but he often goes to Tottenham and knows how well he trains.

Especially during the New Year's holiday, watching his training under Lao Lei made his eyes shine.

Of course, Lineker has little confidence, because after watching so many games, how amazing Xiang Hao is, he has personally experienced it.

So this British gentleman is also afraid of being slapped in the face, so he can only conservatively say Modric and not mention Xiang Hao.

Mortensen didn't know what Lineker was thinking at this time, he carefully studied Tottenham's starting line-up, and had to admit that Lineker said, "Well, indeed, this game, I think it will be a close game." ”

"Huh."

Lineker couldn't help but laugh when he saw that his 'opponent' was soft, but he hadn't forgotten his business, "Okay, John, let's talk about Arsenal's start." ”

"442, Arsenal still continue the lineup that played Portsmouth in the last game.

Among the defenders, Galla still did not play. In the midfield, Denilson, who performed well in the last game, was paired with Xiang Hao, flanked by Vela and Nasri. Forwards, Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott.

This should be the strongest squad that Arsenal can come up with now, which is why I am not very optimistic about this game.

Compared with Redclapp's targeted arrangement, Wenger obviously lacks changes and hopes to rely on the stable performance of the players.

And what Arsenal's young people lack is a kind of stability.

Redclapp lost 3-0 last time out, and this time there will definitely be a tight midfield defence, and the Spurs players may be more effective in executing his tactical set-up.

So this kind of stability is a little more difficult.

Now it depends on whether the Arsenal players can take advantage of the atmosphere of the derby and play their own rhythm of the game. ”

Obviously, after studying the starting line-ups for Arsenal and Tottenham, Motensen has little confidence in his own half of the home team.

Although he is optimistic about the future of this team, they really look a little young now, especially after the opponent becomes stronger and more targeted, and the various problems of the young players are likely to appear one after another.

This is a key to Mortensen's conservative view of Arsenal in this game.

Except for Xiang Hao's definite opinion for him, the other members of the Arsenal team did not show enough convincing, or stable and persuasive enough to make people believe them.

This is also the reason why some outsiders continue to look down on Arsenal.

And as their coach and the team's chief architect, Arsene Wenger naturally knows what outsiders will think of his team.

But unlike the kind of outsiders who stand and talk without backache, and are all a bit of a fallout and an afterthought, what Wenger has to do is to make his disciples continue to mature.

Not only could he not replenish blood, but he was also constantly losing blood, and Wenger could only rack his brains desperately to think about hematopoiesis.

In this process, Wenger faced countless times more problems than those who thought about it, and every game, Wenger wanted to make his team grow better.

In this game, Arsene Wenger must win the game, because this is a high school test for his own young people.

After this double baptism of knockout and derby, the team's mental appearance will be further improved.

So he deliberately used the starting lineup of the last game, without any changes, and let the old opponent target, just to let his players suffer a little.

He had to get the team out of this thorny place, pick the rose, and complete the further transformation.

In a way, this game, this opponent, is also the whetstone that Wenger needs.

It's just that this whetstone is a little harder, but as long as they go through all this, what they get is definitely worth it compared to playing five or six ordinary games.

Even if you lose, the bitterness of the harvest is better than winning a game that is not strategically important.

Because opponents are rare, games are rare, and timing is even more rare.

He has been slowly planning the future of his team, and Arsene Wenger will be playing as a pawn in everything this season.

When it comes to this game, it is a war between roses and guns, and it is time for the new gunners to get a baptism of roses!
