This season's Premier League campaign began on 19 August, and Willingham's first Premier League opponent was Tottenham Hotspur led by Dutchman Joel, who had been empty-handed last season and had to rely on the Toto Cup to reach the UEFA Cup. Originally, it was rumored that he would leave England and go to Spain to coach, but in the end Joel stayed, because despite the club's serious losses last season, chairman Daniel still gave Joel a transfer fund of 30 million pounds, Joel bought France's left winger Nzogibia from Newcastle United when the transfer window just opened, bought the main midfielder of the Cameroonian national team from Lille, and bought the 20-year-old from Paraguay's domestic Ceddeus team when the league was about to start. But striker Acuna, who has already occupied a main position in the national team.

On the opposite side of Wenger's carefully built Wellingsmu, Joel did not dare to take it lightly, and discharged the club's strongest four-three-three lineup, namely, goalkeeper Robinson, the main player of the England national team, and the four defenders from left to right are Cameroon international Iconte, England genius Dawson and Ledley Kinder combination, and Frenchman Jim Bonda, who once shined in Wigan Athletic; In addition to the newly joined Macon, the three midfielders are second only to Drogba's Zokola in value after England's Jenas and Ivory Coast, while in the forward line, Nzogibia and Keane are on the left and right, and in the middle is the Bulgarian sharpshooter Berbatov, who has been obsessed with by Lord Verde until his retirement.

On the bench there are Gardner, Lennon, Dever and other England German feet, this lineup should be said to be stronger than Willingham, because it is the first round of the league, there is no injury trouble, and it is the home of Tottenham, so although the relationship with Lao Liu and Wenger is good, but Joel still ordered to win this ball, and one more point, in recent years, Wenger's Arsenal has been absolutely dominant in the game against Tottenham, and now the professor has come to a new team, Joel must be ashamed.

What's more: at the five-party meeting before last season, as a special guest, Willingham relied on the excellent performance of the youngsters in the competition for the last three or four places, and defeated Joel's team 3-0, which made Tottenham suffer a big blow at the beginning of the league.

'We've got to beat Willingsim, it's our first final of the new season and Tottenham are ready to step over every enemy corpse.' When Joel was interviewed, he deliberately put on a straight face and said seriously.

Of course, this can be seen as a joke, or it can be seen as what Joel really thinks in his heart.

Wenger was not affected by Joel, or dominated by me, and discharged the four-four-two line that Willingsim has always been familiar with, the partners on the forward line are Anelka and Aguero, but the midfielder unexpectedly replaced Siwalker and Helder with Flamini in the middle, on both sides are Capo and Jim Bullard, and Caraze and Richards are on the left and right in the backline, with the Belgian twin constellation in the middle.

Nzogibia is only 1.71 meters tall, his advantage is super ball control and dribbling ability, often the opponent is difficult to completely break the ball, and I don't know what is going on to let him get through, or when the opponent has multiple people come up to scramble, he can choose the most suitable time to divide the ball, giving the team the opportunity to create a local advantage, which is why Joel spent 12 million pounds to buy him from Rodel. Last season, the two wings of Malblanco and Lennon obviously could not save the team at critical moments, and the middle of Jenas and Zokola were divided too much energy by the defense, so this season Joel according to the team's situation, used Marcon to liberate the two big players in the middle, and let Enzogibia completely disrupt the opponent's right side, in fact, as a right winger, Keane only needs to complete a fatal blow at a critical time.

Less than five minutes into the game, Dimitar Berbatov received a clever pass from Jokola, and Van den Boray had to bring him down in front of the box and get a yellow card, and Janas took a direct free-kick that went just wide of the goal.

Then Nzogibia dribbled the ball left and right, and turned the ball out the moment before Kara chose to tackle it, and Jenas, who followed up in the middle, volleyed hard, thanks to Johnson's flying save, the tips of his fingers just touched the ball, and poked the ball out of the bottom line.

Tottenham Hotspur gave Willingham enough pressure with a powerful attack, and also made several players who played in the Tottenham game last season feel from the bottom of their hearts that the warm-up game is different from the official game, and the strength of this old Premier League powerhouse is still considerable, especially defensively, although Wenger focused on strengthening the midfield in the pre-game training, and also specially sent the experienced Anelka and the technical Aguero, but in front of the two Tottenham central defenders who together made more than 500 Premier League appearances, Willingsmum suddenly became dumbfounded.

It wasn't until the fifteenth minute that Arsene Wenger ushered in the team's first shot of the game, Anelka and Aguero, who were stared at by Dawson and King, made a small combination in front of the penalty area, and then dialed the ball back to Held, who met the ball and shot angrily, hit King's body, and slashed out from outside the post.

Helde slammed his arm hard, he knew that someone needed to step up now, and he knew that Anelka had bet on goals, but in the current passive situation, goals are the most important thing.

Capo's corner kick went to the far point, and Jim Bullard, who was seven or eight meters tall, grabbed the point, but the ball was still destroyed by the one-meter-eighty-eight gold next to him out of the penalty area, and Richards, who followed up, wanted to hoist the ball into the penalty area again, but his feet were not well controlled, and the ball flew directly out of the bottom line.

In the twentieth minute of the first half, Tottenham and Willingham had a 7:2 shot ratio, and by the end of the first half, the shot ratio was 10:6, and most importantly, the score also changed, when Tottenham's tenth shot on goal, Berbatov received a pass from Nzogibia and pushed a shot from the penalty line to break Johnson's goal.

The referee's whistle has been in his hand, after Willingham kicked off in the middle circle, Aguero received Heilder's ball and planned to use the last time to make an attack, but was pulled by Marcon after the jersey fell heavily to the ground, perhaps because the game was about to end, the referee only gave a free kick, and did not give Marcon a yellow card, so Aguero, who was already depressed because of the backwardness, hit Marcon with a reverse elbow, and Macon immediately turned over and fell to the ground as if he was hit by an air gun.

A quick whistle sounded, and just when Wenger outside the field was secretly screaming in his heart, the referee turned over a red card from his pocket like a trick, shook it in front of Aguero's eyes, and then blew the whistle directly to end the first half of the game.
