Many fans refer to Arsenal as the 'Gunners', which is directly related to the club's history.

In late 1886, a group of workers from the Woolwich Arsenal in London decided to form their own football team and compete in the game, initially called "Dialsquare", before the club changed its name to "Royal Arsenal" shortly after.

Since the team's origins are related to arsenals and guns, the nickname "gunners" was called, which translates to "gunners" in Chinese.

Now, there's a popular team song in London:

“…… Tell me what you're tired of, take it out on the pitch and now we're going to score again, chanting 'Gunners', we're the god of war in April, England's number one, a mythical legend.

Scoring goals will become easier and easier and the Gunners see that Arsenal are working miracles, red and white, flying all over the world......"

This is a lyric in Arsenal's team song, from which you can see that Arsenal's attacking style is a legacy of history, and almost all Arsenal fans are 'radical', and they are eager for the team to create victory and glory through attacking means.

When the Chelsea bus drove to the edge of Highbury Stadium, many, many Arsenal fans wearing the red home shirt watched from the outside, shouting and waving the flag in their hands, which was full of phrases to motivate Arsenal to win and hit Chelsea, and the Chelsea players sitting in the bus were very depressed.

Wang Li was especially cared for by these fans, and a cartoon held up by a fan group in the narration was specially designed to satirize him - it depicted a black-haired footballer kicking the ball away, and then holding his head on the grass and sighing, but probably because the producer was not very good, and the athlete's hair was very short, almost indistinguishable from baldness - which became the topic of small talk among Chelsea players on the bus.

Wayne. Bridget pulled Wang Li to look out the window, pointed to the cartoon and laughed at him, and said, "Alan, they really drew it." ”

"This group of people is still so enthusiastic!!" Looking at the Arsenal fans outside the bus who kept demonstrating to the bus with their hands held high, Wang Li, who was standing next to Bridge, couldn't help but sigh.

'It's crazy, these fans are the most aggressive in London and they can cause us problems when we get the chance, so remember, don't pay attention to what they shout when the time comes.' Clarke, the assistant coach sitting at the front of the bus, heard the talk behind him and couldn't help but say, this sentence is obviously for the Chelsea newcomers, in the face of this kind of fans on the other side, young people can easily help but cause impulsiveness, and under the cynicism of the pair, it is difficult to play normally, about this, Clarke is still a little worried.

Having worked at Chelsea for over a decade, Clarke knows every Premier League team very well and he always uses this wealth of experience to remind players of the details that they don't care much about.

'Don't be disturbed by these fans, we just need to play well and use goals to silence them. At this time, Mourinho put down the tactical version and also turned his head to remind the players.

Luckily, while the Arsenal fans were overzealous, the police in London were quick to react and were ready for the day, with at least 300 or more police officers on site today dedicated to security.

Thanks to the police, Chelsea buses were finally able to pull into Highbury Stadium, and it was only after entering the pitch that the Chelsea players were able to get rid of the noisy environment, and many went straight to the dressing room to rest for a while, and then they were ready to get used to the pitch.

And at this time, Arsenal's assistant coach Pat ? Rice had already warmed up on the pitch with a group of Arsenal players wearing red home shirts, and it was clear that even the pre-match preparations were done very seriously, and the seriousness of the matter made even the newly entered neutral fans think it was a European Champions League final - and it was undoubtedly a big game for everyone.

......... "Here they are!" ”

In order to broadcast the game live, the Oriental Ancient Kingdom Observatory bought the rights to broadcast the game in China from Sky TV, and sent a camera crew to shoot on the spot, and the reporters of this camera team were near Highbury Stadium, and when they saw the Chelsea players in blue shirts coming to the stadium to warm up, they shouted one after another, and then the photographer began to shoot the shots.

"Where's Wang Li?"

After filming for a while, the reporters of the imperial court station found that they didn't seem to have found the main owner, and they looked at each other one after another.

"Over there, he's coming!" After another quarter of an hour, these reporters saw Wang Li walking slowly to the stadium, if they didn't know that he was going to participate in the game today, others would still think that he was shopping here.

In fact, the pre-game warm-up has a limited effect on Wang Li, relatively speaking, Wang Li, who practices Taoist martial arts, prefers a quieter environment, and after a day of pre-game training, it is more important for him to exercise silently in the locker room to adjust his condition to the best.

As soon as Wang Li walked into the stadium, he heard a familiar call, he turned his head and found that it was some Chinese reporters, including Xu Tao, a reporter from Sports Weekly, Wang Li waved at him as a greeting, but he didn't want to go up for an interview, before the game, he didn't want to be disturbed by things off the field, what he has to do now is to adjust his condition, find the feeling of scoring goals, and strive to play his best in the first minute of the game, which is the most important thing.

In fact, Wang Li is extremely eager for the championship in his heart, you know, although he has become famous with his crazy performance, he has not won a championship yet, and in the league, this game is extremely important, even fans think that as long as Chelsea wins, the league championship will be in hand, although Wang Li feels that he can win the championship even if he loses, but who doesn't want to have a perfect season!?

For a professional player, the championship is the most valuable.

Many, many players love their clubs, but they have to move to the big clubs for their dreams, and the purpose is naturally for the title.

For example, as a Liverpool fan from childhood to adulthood, Steven. Gerrard is now clamoring for a transfer, Liverpool haven't won any accolades for a long time, and Gerrard has played for Liverpool so far, he doesn't want to go without even a title in his lifetime.

And now, when Wang Li is 18 years old, he has the hope of winning the first championship of the professional league, maybe the Champions League, FA Cup and other championships are not guaranteed, but as long as he wins this London derby, a Premier League title must be no problem.

After Wang Li waved his hand in the direction of those reporters from the imperial court, he walked to the pitch and chatted with Bridget, the topic of the recent team is of course Lampard's girlfriend, the famous 'flower boy' and a little English woman walked together, many people feel that this relationship really can't last long, and even bet on it.

Although Wang Li's gossip fire is not strong compared to his teammates, this kind of thing will always become a topic of discussion for everyone, and he is certainly no exception.

At this time, the reporters from the imperial court station in the distance also chatted about Wang Li's approach.

"Doesn't he have to go to warm-up with the team!?" The colleague next to him watched the black-haired boy slowly walk into the court, and chatted with his teammates, a little puzzled.

"These big stars are careless, as long as they can play a good game anyway." Another reporter sighed.

"The people in the national football team are disciplined, but the ball is still not good."

"This is the gap, maybe people are usually very conscious, you see that Wang Li has never had any bad news."

"Is this the gap?"

'For sure, you see the Chelsea guys are just playing around on the pitch, they're adapting to training, it's not a real game, everybody's in a different physical condition, they automatically adjust it.' A self-proclaimed football professional analyzed.

In response to Wang Li's late arrival, everyone expressed their opinions.

At the same time, the team's coach Jose Mourinho had already gone to the press conference, and when he walked into the scene, it immediately aroused the interest of the media, the flash began to flash, and the microphone reached for him, and the reporters flocked to ask them some questions of interest.

"What do you think of this game, can you tell us about the starting line-up, Mr Mourinho?" This is an Arsenal reporter, obviously to investigate the 'enemy situation'.

"Is Chelsea bound to win!?"

'What do you think of Barcelona, are Chelsea confident of reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League?'

'Mr Alex Ferguson said it would be a draw, do you have anything to say about that?'

…… In the face of the reporters' disturbing questions, Mourinho, on the contrary, did not ignore these questions as usual, but answered each question, much to the satisfaction of the reporters on the scene.

In the minds of journalists, although it is easy to get big news from the Portuguese during interviews, in fact he rarely really answers the questions asked by reporters.

After a while, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger also walked into the venue, after his arrival, half of the reporters on the scene quickly shifted their targets, at Arsenal's Highbury Stadium, Wenger deserved this treatment, fortunately the opponent of this game is Chelsea, if it is other teams, then it is estimated that more than half of the current reporters have shifted their targets, this is the attraction of the giant club.

In the face of these reporters' questions one by one, Wenger did not answer directly, but turned his head to look at Mourinho next to him, with a smile on his face, he looked very relaxed, and after taking a sip of the mineral water on the table, he said: "They have performed so well this season, they are already among the top teams in the Premier League." ”

“…… Yes, Chelsea are already a big team, Arsenal's best opponents, and this big game is probably going to be a classic battle that will be talked about by the fans, and in these days I have been preparing for this game and the players are very scrappy and I hope Arsenal will win. ”

Arsene Wenger's remarks were completely different from those before the game, with no attacking surname at all, which made people feel that the relationship between the two teams seemed to be very good, and when the reporters turned their attention to Mourinho, the Portuguese was the same, and he said calmly: "Although their results are not as good as ours, they are quite strong and are our strongest opponents. Our players have to be 100 per cent on the pitch to be able to beat them. ”

“…… However, I believe the winner will be Chelsea, who were not able to reap the benefits last season and this season will be the same, despite Arsenal's good performances. ”

Although the two managers disputed the ownership of the victory, they praised each other in their words, and they looked harmonious. In fact, for the two teams, this game is really a chess opponent, and now the preparations before the game have been done, and it is useless to say anything more, and the next thing is to fight the field.

Although the reporters present were dissatisfied with the current state, the two managers showed this attitude in unison, and they had no choice but to hope that the game would be more exciting.

……… By the time Mourinho returned to the dressing room, the players were ready and just waiting for the game to begin.

Mourinho didn't say anything more, and when the time was almost up, he walked towards the tunnel with the players in the squad, and at this time, the two players met each other in the tunnel of players.

Although Frank Lampard and John Terry almost scolded each other during the pre-match war of words, it was actually only about the game, and in terms of personal relationships, even if they were not familiar with each other, there would be no conflict.

In this way, the players of both teams who know each other and those who don't know each other are looking at each other in the player tunnel.

It's an official match between the two teams, and although many of the two teams are familiar with each other, they still just look at each other and don't take the initiative to greet each other, after all, in the eyes of the fans, Chelsea and Arsenal are future rivals, and as far as the club is concerned, the two teams are still bitter enemies.

Among them, Wang Li received the most attention, and these Arsenal players have not forgotten the shameful goal he caused to Highbury last season!!

Blowing the ball in with your mouth, this shot is definitely unforgettable!!

This is an absolute shame for Arsenal!!

Obviously, even now, many Arsenal fans still label Wang Li as the least popular person in Highbury!!

......... "No. 21 Allen. King!! ”

As the players entered the pitch one by one, when the on-site commentator read Wang Li's name, there was a sudden burst of violent boos in the stands of Arsenal fans at Highbury Stadium, which was even more than the cheers in the stands of the Blues.

"Haha, Alan, you're so unpopular!!" After walking into the court, the upright man Frank. Frank Lampard listened to the boos from the crowd and walked up to Wang Li and patted him on the shoulder.

Wang Li smiled and didn't say anything, turning his head to look at the fan stands around him.

Highbury Stadium can accommodate 40,000 fans, at this time the east and west stands and part of the north stand has been surrounded by red, and only the south stand is full of Blues fans, after a simple visual inspection, Wang Li estimated in his heart that there are at least 10,000 Blues fans present today, as well as more than 25,000 Arsenal fans, and the rest are neutral fans who came to see the excitement.

Even though there are only 10,000 Blues fans, that's a very good number, you know, this is Highbury, not Stamford Bridge!!

Although there is an element of the FA's involvement, Highbury belongs to Arsenal after all, and they always think about Arsenal fans when they issue their first ticket.

"Are these fans buying scalpers?" Seeing this scene, Wang Li was a little moved, so he couldn't help asking.

"I guess, I heard it was organized by two fan groups."

Wang Li was slightly moved, raised his hand and clapped hands with Lampard to cheer each other, and then said: "If I lose today, I'm really sorry for these fans." ”

"We're going to win!!" Lampard turned his head towards the West Stand, put his hand on his forehead to take a closer look, and continued: "Really, Alan? ”

Wang Li clenched his fists and waved it, and said vigorously: "Definitely!" ”

……… At this time, the commentator of the imperial court station who was responsible for broadcasting the game also began to introduce the starting lists of the two teams:

"Arsenal are a standard 442 formation, goalkeeper Almunia and defenders Lauren, Toure, Campbell, Ashley. Cole, midfielders Pire, Flamini, Cesc Fabregas, Reyes, strikers Bergkamp and Thierry Henry were paired. ”

Chelsea, on the other hand, is a 4321 formation, with goalkeeper Petr Cech, defenders Patrick Ferreira, John Terry, Carvalho and Gallas, midfielders Wang Li, Frank Lampard, and Makelele in attack. Duff, Alkin. Arjen Robben, striker Edul. Goodjanssen. ”

“…… It's really strange that Wang Li was placed in the midfield position in this game, is this a surprise tactic from Chelsea!? However, Wang Li's strength is absolutely undoubted, and I believe that even in the midfield position, he can play very well. ”

'I don't know what tactics Arsenal will adopt today to deal with Chelsea's attack, both teams are very good in attack, and I believe this game will be a good matchup.'

…… After the court commentator introduced the starting line-ups of the two teams, the two captains finished guessing the coins and Arsenal won the right to kick off.

"Beep......

At the whistle of referee Bohl, Thierry Henry played the ball to Bergkamp and headed home into the Chelsea penalty area, marking the start of Arsenal's attack.

Yes, offensive!!

No matter what opponent they face, Arsenal has always been attack-oriented, for the Gunners, there is always only attack, even the team song is the same, use attack to defeat all opponents!!
