Chapter 385: North London Derby debut

Arsene Wenger's new tactics for the current Arsenal side seemed to work wonders in the first game, but in the eyes of many, it was just their luck to catch their opponents off guard. In the next game, maybe they won't have such good luck? However, the first game of the opening game was as strong as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, which still made many people pay attention to this eternal youth and vitality of the former Premier League giants club.

After the day's game, Arsene Wenger calmly answered questions from reporters at his press conference, but captain Vermaelen, who was sitting next to him, still felt his hands on the table and his whole body tremble. But this tremor is different from the powerlessness and despair that Ferguson felt when he led his team to Barcelona, on the contrary, it was an excitement, or rather excitement about the unknown and the future. It's been so many years, and it's finally here!

Wenger, who returned to the dressing room, swept away the calmness he had when facing reporters before, clapped his hands at his players, and excitedly exclaimed: "Hey! Lads! Well done! It's a good start, remember that feeling, and then keep it up! This season, our goal is definitely not as simple as the fourth place as the outside world says! Remember? He Xu was stunned when he heard this, could it be that this kind of unscrupulous ridicule is not only in our country?

After the game, many media gave the Arsenal players in this game high marks, and the lowest score in the game was Mariano, who won the most improved player award in the Premier League last season. Arini, of course. It's not really about his performance and performance, it's just that his midfield teammates have made the media and fans forget about him. There were not a few opportunities to be on camera in the whole game, and there were not a few donkeys who touched the ball, and it was indeed a bit difficult to get a high score.

At the same time, many leagues in Europe have also beaten the drums of war.

The most eye-catching thing is of course Real Madrid and Barcelona, which are rivals. Guardiola's identity is completely different from He Xu's previous life at this time, He Xu's life, he chose to stay in Barcelona, perhaps because of this, Barcelona at this time did not decline like He Xu's previous life, they even won the "Triple Crown" again last season, and now they have been crowned the "Five Crowns". Just waiting for the end-of-year Club World Cup. is about to impact the amazing honor of another "six crowns".

Compared with Barcelona, Real Madrid has experienced another turmoil and a big change, but it still maintains a strong competitiveness. The return of the Bernabeu. Real Madrid fans see the hope of fighting Barcelona in midfield in the coming years. Although the two geniuses of the former and the latter both became famous late. However, the strength is not inferior to the midfield combination of Liang Zhao and Thiago, who have been used by Barcelona for several years.

Of course. After an offseason, both teams brought in an extremely strong No. 11 at the same time, Gareth. Bale and Neymar. The addition of these two seems to have made the Spanish national derby even more enjoyable.

It's another season, it's a new beginning. Everything seems to be different. Why? Maybe it's because of the Chinese players who helped the team make it to the World Cup? Maybe it's because there's something in international football these days that doesn't go the way it used to be? In short, this season has made many fans have an inexplicable expectation. Maybe it's because there are too many new stars rising recently, which makes fans who are used to seeing old faces a little fresh, right?

The reason why it is really reasonable or lucky to be able to test Wenger's new tactics in the next game is that in the next game, Arsenal will be visiting White Hart Lane for one of the hottest derbies of every year, the north London derby.

In contrast to Spain's national derby, the derby is a common occurrence in England, the birthplace of modern football. The derby is one of the UK's major contributions to world sport. According to Wikipedia, there are 55 derbies in English football, among which the more famous ones such as the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton, the Manchester derby between Manchester United and Manchester City, and the Birmingham City derby between Aston Villa and Birmingham City have all been staged in the Premier League, but the most fierce derby in the Premier League is the London City Civil War. As the capital, London football has never lacked blood and passion, and the teams in London City may not all be mortal enemies, but they do not have a harmonious relationship. In London, four derbies are particularly famous: the most intense Arsenal and Tottenham north London derby, the nominal Chelsea and Fulham west London derby, Charlton Athletic and Crystal Palace south London derby, and West Ham United v Millwall east London derby.

The London derby is a bit different from other city derbies, and since the beginning of the 21st century, the London team has generally been strong, especially Arsenal with a traditional team-building mentality and Chelsea, who have received a large injection of money.

Of course, Tottenham Hotspur, which once led the wave of assassins, should not be underestimated, after all, they are a dark horse team that has caught the defending champions Inter Milan at a loss in the Champions League.

Of course, the team's core attacking player, Gareth. Bale's departure has made their formation look less impactful, but Lennon's right side still looks murderous, and they have brought in Spanish goalscorer Soldado, a Spanish international in his prime of age and form, who must be looking to earn himself a place at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Therefore, his presence is also a big improvement for Tottenham.

When He Xu followed the team to the White Hart Lane Stadium, he felt a depressing atmosphere that made him feel uncomfortable before he got out of the car. Tottenham Hotspur's fan madness is also famous all over Europe, and White Hart Lane, for other teams, is undoubtedly a devil's away game, which doesn't change because you are a city team, if their attitude is worse, it is still possible, right?

Tang Lintian looked at the expression on He Xu's face, and couldn't help laughing, "What?" Not adapting? Soon you will get used to it and enjoy it. It's treated at least once a year, and when they come to our game, you know how crazy our fans are! ”

He Xu smiled, "There's nothing uncomfortable, I'm just thinking, if I shoot through their goal again today, will they rush into the field and play with me?" I don't think so! After all, there are so many cops here, so I can be bold enough to ravage them! Haha, Tottenham guys, sorry! It's my first time in the North London Derby, so it's understandable to be a little excited! You're right? ”

The teammates around him rolled their eyes, did they have to pray for the dead before killing? What could be more shameless than that? Maybe there is, just like what He Xu did in the next game. After killing someone, he stabbed the deceased several times in the body.

"CCTV, CCTV. Tune in to one of the highlights of the second round of the English Premier League. Today's game is explained by me, Duan Xian and Teacher Zhang Lu beside me. The match was played by Arsenal, a veteran Premier League powerhouse with three Chinese players, against their local rivals, Tottenham Hotspur. Sold the team's star Gareth in the offseason. Gareth Bale's Spurs squad have also been strengthened this summer, using the proceeds from the sale of Bale to bring in Soldado and Lamela as well as Eriksen and Paulinho, and I think we will be able to see the names I mentioned in the Spurs starting line-up in a moment. ”

Zhang Lu followed Duan Xian's words and said, "Let's see! After the main players warmed up, they all returned to the dressing room and started to get ready for the game. The managers of both teams are also in place. Arsene Wenger, who led the team to the Champions League final, and Villas-Boas, who led Chelsea to the only Champions League trophy in their history. What kind of collision will there be between two people today? Okay, let's see the players from both teams start to enter. Arsenal captain Vermaelen and Tottenham captain Vertonghen walked into the pitch side by side. ”

White Hart Lane was a mountain with a tsunami, and of course, the cheers were directed at their home team. Despite the loss of the team's most important star this offseason, the fans' love for the team remains the same. One of Europe's most fervent fans not only threw dazzling hand toss as the team entered, but also pulled up a huge banner, "Tottenham we are always with you!" We are the stabbing blades of your thorns! Come on! ”

Looking at this banner, He Xu, who walked at the end of the team, was really surprised, the fans here are really fanatical! But it's a pity, competitive sports! I'm going to send you a failure!

"Okay! We look at Tottenham fans who also express their love for the team, take a look at the Spurs starting XI today. Oh, and several of the new signings who have joined this season are already in the starting line-up. The goalkeeper is France international Lloris, and at the back, England defender Dawson is partnered with new captain Vertonghen, left wing-back Rose, and right wing-back Kyle. Walker. In the midfield position, Paulinho and Huddlestone started together, with Aaron on the right. Lennon, on the left flank is new signing Lamela. Two strikers, Adebayo plus Soldado. It's a '4-4-2' formation. We see that Dembele did not start today, so it must have been a miracle move by Villas-Boas. (To be continued......)
