Section 385 Derby
After six rounds, Tottenham are on track a bit and at this point they have their first big game of the season. Arsenal, the sworn enemies of north London, are their next opponent. They will be facing the Gunners at home to test their quality.
'We don't have to worry because Arsenal are the weakest of the Premier League top four and we have a good chance of winning against them.
Before the game, Li Bin was full of confidence in the performance of his players, but he himself knew very well that it was not as simple as he imagined to beat Arsenal.
In recent years, Arsenal's strength is indeed average, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the weakest one in the top four of the Premier League, but the gap between the top four of the Premier League and other teams in the Premier League is still very large, Arsenal's current strength is weaker than Manchester United and Chelsea, but they are also the teams that can rush into the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
This game, in fact, is not easy at all.
Arsenal in the 08-09 season, in the current evaluation of the media, think that they are better than Arsenal last season. Last season, Arsenal suddenly sold their captain Thierry Henry before the start of the season, resulting in the team's overall strength is not good, and even once thought by the media that it would lose the top four positions, this season, Arsenal learned a lesson, they did not wait until the league started to sell, but made the deal early, which made them ready before the start of the league, compared to last year, naturally not the same. In the 07-08 season, compared to the 06-07 season, Arsenal's points have increased by 15 points, which also makes people very curious, is it possible for this year's Arsenal to go further and continue to rise in points? After all, their players are a year old!
Moreover, this year's main striker Van Persie has been in good physical condition. Van Persie has been injured almost all the time in the last year, and this year he has been out of the way and has played well. In the past game, they had just beaten Sheffield United with a 6-0 scoreline, and their form can be said to be very good.
It was at this time that the Tottenham players visited the Emirates Stadium.
"This game is very significant, not only for the north London duo, but also for Tottenham and Arsenal in the new season, who will finish fourth in the league and fight for a Champions League place. Arsenal have been outstanding this season, with a 6-0 thrashing of Sheffield United illustrating their quality and form. However, even Arsenal, which is in good form, has not been able to get rid of Tottenham. The two teams are now tied on 13 points, with Arsenal barely staying ahead of Tottenham on goal difference. Compared with last season, Tottenham can be said to have been reborn and greatly improved, and now their game, who will give birth to and who will be the vice, is already difficult to predict. If Tottenham can win, it will play a big role in their race against Arsenal throughout the season. As a new force on the rise, a win against Arsenal with the double encouragement of beating league rivals and rivals will certainly have a big boost to Tottenham's overall morale, and they may be inspired by this victory for half a season, and play harder. But this is at the Emirates Stadium and can they really get the win so easily? โ
This question is a question posed by the whole league against Tottenham, and whether Tottenham can beat Arsenal is also one of the most interesting games right now!
"In this game, the home team Arsenal fielded their strongest team, and as the most important derby, Wenger did not slack off. Their goalkeeper is Almunia, the Spaniard goalkeeper who has recently been rumored to be naturalized in England and could become England's future goalkeeper, and in their backline, Sagna, Silvestre, Galla, Chrissy - I don't know if it was because of the relationship between Big Toure and Little Toure's brother who played at the rival club, or because Big Toure recently had an awkward relationship with Galla, Toure didn't get a chance to play, and he was replaced by Manchester United's former veteran Silvestre. In midfield, Arsenal fielded Theo Walcott, Cesc Fabregas, Denilson and Nasri, who played as a parallel midfielder, with Denilson at the back and Nasri on the wing. In the forward line, Arsenal are two pairs of Bam Adebayor and Robin van Persie, which is their best lineup. โ
'Tottenham's squad remains unchanged, with youngster Manuel Neuer in goal, and Kolarov, Thiago Silva, Ledley Kim and Piszczek at the back. In midfield, they fielded Gustavo and Yaya Toure in midfield, with Gareth Bale and Lennon on the wings, with Angel Di Maria not starting this one after playing in succession in recent games. According to rumors, he suffered a minor injury in pre-match training and may take a break before returning, so this time, Tottenham sent Lennon, who is not very old and has a clear speed advantage. Up front, Tottenham haven't changed much, they still use Cavani and Suarez. โ
"The line-ups on both sides are full of young people, and talent is more than ability is their common characteristic. Both teams are better in attack than in defence, and this game could well turn into a goal shootout......"
The lineups of the two sides can be said to be comparable. Among Arsenal's players, Cesc Fabregas, Van Persie, Walcoat and others are more famous, but their other players are relatively young or new to Arsenal, and they are not very famous. Nasri and others are basically famous because they are young and promising, and they are not much better than Neuer and others, the young players on both sides are half a catty, and in terms of big-name players, although Fabregas is considered to be the first midfielder in the Premier League in the future, but compared to the main midfielder of the Champions League champion like Yaya Toure, the strength may not be strong. Especially after the elimination of the Spanish group in this year's European Cup, it was rumored that Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Spanish team were out of harmony, because of the problem of Raul being abandoned, the media were on the side of Real Madrid, and Fabregas, who was on the side of Barcelona, was not very good.
Moreover, almost all of the famous players on both sides are in the front field, and in the backfield, Galla is trustworthy on one side, and Ledley King is on the other, and the defense of both sides is relatively famous, which is also the reason why this game is worth paying attention to.
The strength of the two sides is half a catty, and this kind of game is more interesting. And both sides are strong in attack and weak in defense, which will make the game more beautiful.
"Hopefully this is a top game that will satisfy us. Tottenham and Arsenal, the competition between these two teams can make the Premier League stronger, and which of them will be the stronger one is also worth all of our attention. โ
The game has begun, and in the early stages of the game, neither side pressed too much, they were both in their own half, making tentatives. Li Bin and Arsene Wenger both sat in their respective dugouts, and neither left the dugout to direct the game. The game has just started, so there's no need to rush too much.
'Neither Arsenal nor Tottenham are yet in form and neither has opted to cause problems with their opponents with a quick attack. We can see that Tottenham are more secure at the moment, they play cautiously away from home, Yaya Toure is fully committed to defending, he is following Cesc Fabregas. Cesc Fabregas was trying to get the ball to Walcott, and we all know that Walcott was very fast, and in Tottenham's defeat to Villa, Kolarov's turning speed on the left side was a huge weakness, and Arsenal could cause a lot of problems for Tottenham......
Arsenal carries out fast and smooth attacks in the midfield, and after getting used to the style of play of these Premier League teams, Li Bin can't help but admire, in the current Premier League, if you want to say that the lineup is excellent, Chelsea is the first to say, and if you want to say that Manchester United is the first in terms of comprehensive strength, but if you want to say that it is good-looking, it definitely has to be Arsenal.
They did play well โ just from the point of view of appreciating the game, not from the point of view of the more delicate technique, Arsenal played even better than Barcelona in these days.
However, apart from playing well, they don't have any other advantages. It is not difficult for Arsene Wenger to direct his players to play good games, but it is unlikely that they will win the title. The current situation is a case in point: they are cowering against a slightly threatening Tottenham Hotspur, where do such players look like winners?
During the opening period, Li Bin did not let the team press, but wanted to see how Wenger prepared for this game. Because Di Maria was unfortunately injured in training before the game and was out of action for three weeks, Li Bin was also a little depressed. The tactics he originally designed were difficult to use, and Li Bin was somewhat worried, Li Bin was afraid of being attacked by Wenger as soon as he came up, Tottenham Hotspur's defense is now far from the top, and it is difficult not to lose the ball by the Gunners at home, Li Bin is afraid that the team will fall into passivity early, so it is still more restrained to come up. However, after seeing that Wenger was also afraid of himself for three points, Li Bin also waved his hand and signaled the players to start attacking.
This is a derby, there has to be a derby, since the opponent who has the advantage of home does not want to attack, then, we attack for them!
After his order was given, the first to attack was Bell!
In this game, Bale was placed on the left wing, and Li Bin still had some concerns. The defender on the opposite side is Sania, the top defender in the world, Li Bin is afraid that when facing him, Bale can't count on his slightly rough skills, but there is no other person available here, and Li Bin is only enough to kick like this. Fortunately, Bale did not disappoint him, and as soon as he got the ball, he began to rush quickly with the ball.
Sagna immediately stuck in the position, Bale didn't fight with him, immediately a cross, sent the ball into the box, his left side of the high ball cross is very beautiful, even Sagna did not expect this speed, these games have always appeared as a raider, and such a 45-degree cross.
In the middle, Silvestre pressed Suarez and headed the ball out of the box. Gala received the ball immediately and then, heading forward, gave a kick to Denilson.
But before Denelson could turn around, Yaya Toure had already rushed up behind him. His long legs stabbed the ball down, then he took two steps forward and shot hard!
It all happened so suddenly that the entire Emirates Stadium was in shock. And when the home fans shouted in surprise, the Tottenham fans had already begun to cheer!
โgooooal๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ Yaya Toure! Brilliant goal! Yaya Toure scored the first goal against Arsenal! The competition has officially started now! โ
