Chapter Eighty-Four: The Problem

Seeing that the "Young Guards", which has long occupied the leading position this season, is about to start a passionate collision with the "Gunners" Arsenal, many media in England have come out to quickly stir up the heat of this game, and even take the core idea of "the collision of old forces and new forces", which directly fried the atmosphere of this game............

In the top football league in England, there were only three super teams, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool, and the annual title race revolves around these three teams.

"Red Army" because of its rich historical heritage, although they have not won a domestic league championship in the past 20 years, but also in the 2004 ~ 2005 season to lift the Champions League trophy, its accumulation of 18 league titles and 5 European championship trophies is a mountain that other English teams can not surpass, even if Manchester United has surpassed the "Red Army" in the number of domestic championships, but only three championship trophies in the Champions League.

The "Red Devils" are because Ferguson brought the "92 Golden Generation" to push Manchester United to the top, and then won the European Champions Cup, and it is reasonable that today's strength is the result of the efforts of several generations of players, and the strongest team in England in the past 20 years is not blown.

"Gunners" Arsenal has become a quasi-giant team that can compete with Manchester United and Liverpool just because of one person, and "Professor" Wenger has cultivated too many stars over the years, but because the number of championships is too small and the European Champions Cup is missing, it has become a quasi-giant team.

Ten years ago, Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich brought countless rubles to the "Blues", and under the integration of Mourinho and the role of Di Matteo's good fortune, it took ten years to finally lift the Champions League trophy, building Chelsea into a new giant team and becoming the fourth force in English football.

Then there was the "Blue Moon" Manchester City acquired by the Arab consortium in 2008, and under the accumulation of countless gold dollars, Manchester City finally won the league title last season under the leadership of Italian Mancini, which became the fifth strongest team in English football, and this season they spent a lot of money to strengthen the team's defense, and its goal is not only the domestic trophy in England.

In recent years, Tottenham Hotspur has also been on the right path, they have been searching for talented players everywhere to develop them, and after selling stars, they can also bring in powerful stars to ensure the team's fighting power, and in recent years have been able to ensure that their team is in the top four in the table, but unfortunately they have not been able to stabilize the Premier League title.

Relatively speaking, the sudden rise of the "Young Guards" this season still has a certain accidental surname, but behind the accident there is also inevitable, Simon Grayson reused the "Leeds Three Musketeers" cultivated by his team as the skeleton of the team, bought Ameobi and other powerful players, and finally used the "beast" Tevez to become the jewel that embellished the crown, Leeds United has proved with facts that they do have the initial strength to compete with the traditional strong teams in English football.

As an ordinary person, the "Blues" and "Blue Moon" created by countless money smashed up are indeed addictive to watch, but everyone still prefers to see Leeds United's success through their own hard work and the players they have cultivated, if Leeds United can finally win the league championship this season, it will be the "Leeds miracle" in English football.

Merely...... This may be a very small surname!

For the "Young Guards" away to challenge the "Gunners" in this game, the odds given by major European bookmakers are still inclined to Arsenal, which also represents the intention of many people in English football, these people think that in terms of the overall strength of the team, Leeds United and the traditional strong teams are still too different, at the beginning of the season, Manchester City, Manchester United two strong teams have not yet entered the state to beat them, this is almost the limit of what Leeds United can do.

Before Leeds United left for London, the results of the English Premier League best selections for October were also in, Simon Grayson lost again in the race for the best coach, he finished second behind Villas-Boas in September, and this month he led Leeds United to win all competitions, but in the end he lost to "Professor" Arsene Wenger, still taking second place.

Fortunately, Zach Thompson is still very strong in the selection of players, in the selection of the best young player, Zach Thompson won the title of the best young player in September and October, and this time he was also on the list in the best player selection and rushed to third place, in second place is Leeds United's top scorer "Beast" Tevez, and in first place is Manchester United's "little fat" Rooney.

Simon Grayson doesn't care about the results of these selections, all he really cares about is the conversation with the "Gunners" Arsenal, and even he knows very well that the result of beating Manchester City and Manchester United at the beginning of the season is not a manifestation of the strength of his team, but just because Leeds United was in better shape than his opponent at that time.

But now the situation is completely different, as the season deepens, the state of each team has been played, but the state of Leeds United has been affected by such and such rumors, this game with the "Gunners" Arsenal is crucial, if you lose, maybe the team's state will plummet, and once you win, it will really be a leap into the net, and then against Chelsea, Liverpool may get points, maybe directly related to the ranking of Leeds United at the end of the season.

At 15 o'clock in the afternoon on November 3, the Emirates Stadium in London ushered in the highlight of the ninth round of this season's English Premier League...... Arsenal vs Leeds United!

The 60,361-seat Emirates Stadium is 100% full, and the "Gunners" Arsenal have performed quite well this season, they are currently unbeaten with 7 wins and 1 draw and Tottenham Hotspur are on the same points, both teams are still ranked second and third behind Leeds United because of one less game, if Arsenal wins at home in this round, they will immediately surpass Leeds United, but Tottenham Hotspur will face the weakest promoted Maredin team in this round, Even away from home is unlikely to lose.

Before the game, Simon Grayson gave the players a morale boost in the visiting dressing room, even promising to give the players a day off in five days for the next Europa League fourth-round game in five days' time if the team won or drawn.

Now that Leeds United's schedule is very frequent, the players have less time to rest, and this day of vacation is very precious for the players, and the morale of the "Young Guard" is suddenly high.

When the game started, Leeds United, who were playing away, kicked off first, and they immediately began to move forward through passing according to their usual tactics, but the ball passed back and forth at their feet many times, and after trying to attack in the middle, right and left, the Leeds United players still couldn't find the opportunity to attack, and Arsenal's defense was unexpectedly ...... It actually gave them a sense of impeccableness.

What's going on!?

Zach Thompson looked at Ameobi and Tevez, who were already surrounded by red figures in front of him, and didn't know who to pass the ball to at his feet for a while, Song and Arteta in front of him were eyeing each other, and behind them there was a four-man defense line composed of Layton Baines, Sagna, Laurent Koscielny and Vermaelen, and Leeds United's attack was completely in trouble.

"Smack!"

Seeing Ghanaian midfielder Andre Ayew pounce, Zach Thompson passed the ball back to Dawson behind him.

"Arsenal's defense is very tight, Leeds United can't find a chance to attack, it seems that Arsène went to Elland Road to watch the game in person in the last game, and he really knew the details of the opponent."

After seeing this scene, the "professor" Wenger laughed under the pitch, he did make a lot of adjustments to his team's defense today, the current Leeds United is the most attacking of the twenty English super teams, they have scored 34 goals in the last 9 games, 7 more goals than Manchester United in second place, Tevez and Ameobi are really very threatening.

However, when "Professor" Wenger watched a game at Elland Road Stadium, he knew how to defend Leeds United's attack, whether it was Tevez or Ameoby, both of them needed Jonny Hausen, Bentley and "Shaq" behind them to feed them with shells, and Leeds United because of Zach Thompson's omnipotence, Simon Grayson gave him a lot of space, which also made Leeds United's midfield weak, just a "Shaq", No matter how good he is, it's not enough.

So in today's game, "Professor" Wenger lined up a 4-1-4-1 formation, with Ayew, Arteta, and Song forming a triangle in front of the back line, which is used to limit Zach Thompson's play, and the wingbacks on both sides are to help the left and right defenders defend Jonny Hausen and Bentley, although there is only one Moroccan strong center Chamak in the forward line, but Arsenal's offensive tactics do not need to have too many people in the forward line at all. Their layered style of play can fully compensate for the weakness of the forward line, and the speed of the midfield forward is the key.

When Clegg Dawson played the ball to Jonny Hausen on the left, the ball was finally broken and Arsenal's counter-attack was immediately unleashed, first Arteta picked the ball up to the right, and right-back Sagna rushed up and took the ball to the right side of the Leeds United penalty area, and kicked the ball into the middle.

"Boom!"

Chamak, who ran up diagonally from the left, hit the ball, just because he had Red's interference on his side, and Dawson was defending not far in front of him, Chamak simply did not head the goal, but shook his head as if he was using his head to stop the ball, and unloaded the ball into an empty space on his right.

And then--

Arteta, wearing the number 8 shirt, has appeared!

"Bang!"

Arteta volleyed in front of the ball, and the ball flew into the Leeds United goal with a "whoosh"!

With only seven metres from goal, Arteta volleyed in such a position that Leeds United goalkeeper Ronegan could only sigh as long as the ball didn't fly out of the frame, and he didn't have time to react!

“goal！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

In the Emirates Stadium, the fans of the "Gunners" shouted in unison, and this surprise came to a real ...... It's so sudden! It's so fast!

The 30-year-old Arteta was racing all over the pitch with excitement, and it was his first league goal of the season for Arsenal, and it was so crucial, how could he not be excited?

Arteta, who was born in the La Masia academy in Barcelona, was full of aura, but he failed to succeed in Barcelona, and became a "prodigal son" after leaving Barcelona, playing for Paris Saint-Germain, Glasgow Rangers, and Real Sociedad, and then came to England to play for the "Toffee" Everton for seven years. Responsible for organising the team's attack, he scored six goals for Arsenal last season, a small but crucial goal, and thus won Wenger's trust.

Now, Arteta has once again played a key role in the Gunners' battle for the top spot with the Young Guards this season.

"Professor" Arsene Wenger applauded his disciples on the sidelines, Simon Grayson was expressionless, his eyes were sparkling and constantly turning, he now had to find a solution for his team, the opponent saw through his attacking routine, the team's attack was limited, and Arsenal at home took the lead at 1 minute, this game ...... How do you fight!?

[In the strong push, please vote for it! ] 】
