It was the 167th North London derby in history. Tottenham have just won the Europa League with a substitute and are currently on a three-game winning streak in the Premier League without conceding a goal. Fresh from winning the Premier League Coach of the Month for September, Redknapp Sr. re-lines his squad for this game, Bam Adebayor wore the Tottenham Hotspur shirt for the first time against his old club, but the other Gunners veterans Garra, Dawson and Edstone Hudstone are out injured.

goalkeeper Friedel; Walker, Caboul, Ledley King, and Héctor on the back line; In midfield, Van der Vaart, Parker, Luka Modric and Bale; Up front, Adebayo partnered Defoe.

Tottenham are well prepared for this game, and they have even opted to recharge their batteries in the UEFA Cup, as the north London derby is more important for Tottenham as they want to qualify for the Champions League and now they need to take some initiative in such a strong conversation. And it's a north London derby, so there's no reason why Tottenham Hotspur should give it their all, especially since it's on their home turf, and they deserve to win at White Hart Lane.

The Gunners are also extremely eager to win this north London derby, not only because it is a battle between mortal enemies, but also because it is the anniversary of Wenger's fifteenth year in charge of Arsenal, even if some Arsenal players are not satisfied with the club's picking, but for Wenger, these Arsenal players should feel grateful, because it was Wenger who brought them to Arsenal, and it was Wenger who brought these players to new heights in their careers.

goalkeeper Szczesny; On the back line, Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, and Alaba lined up from right to left; In midfield, Alexandre Song, Mikel Arteta, Aaron Ramsey, and Cazorla; On the forward line, it is naturally the partner of Van Persie and Xiao Qing.

On 30 September 1996, Arsenal officially appointed French coach Arsene Wenger as the team's manager, and on 2 October 2011. Celebration of the 15th anniversary of Professor Smithing'. What awaits Arsene Wenger and his 'Gunners' is a much-anticipated north London derby. Obviously. At such a special moment, Arsenal, who have had a poor start to the new season, will naturally be hoping to take away a derby win away from home in order to catch up with the leading group.

But at the same time, Tottenham Hotspur, who are currently beating their rivals by one point, will definitely not easily hand over the initiative at their home stadium and give Wenger a big gift. Therefore, before the start of such a very interesting game, the players of the two teams also have more expectations for this game, and they will also care more about the outcome of this game.

Arsenal and Tottenham have a deep feud. Even when they came to the White Hart Lane stadium, the Arsenal players felt a little unaccustomed; Because although they are both north London teams, the composition of the fans of the two teams is very different.

The contrast between the inhabitants of the two lands, Highbury and Tottenham, is even more stark. There is a saying in England that Arsenal fans are the most gentlemanly, watching the game without spitting dirty words and only clapping and cheering. Tottenham, on the other hand, is traditionally a region with a skewed minority population, with black immigrants from the Caribbean and the African continent making up a large proportion of its fans, and it is considered one of the less safe areas of London.

In the history of Tottenham and Arsenal, there have been more than 10 players who have had direct movements. But there were only two cases that really caused a stir. One of them was 1977. Northern Ireland international Jennings jumped ship to Highbury; The second is that in 2001, Tottenham captain Campbell defected to his rivals on a free transfer. Jennings' transfer has upset Tottenham fans. But Jennings played for Tottenham for thirteen years, and was finally abandoned by the Tottenham board of directors, so he deliberately chose Arsenal with the intention of embarrassing Tottenham. But Campbell is different, he has been delaying the extension of his contract, and after learning that Wenger wanted him, he accepted Arsenal's offer at the end of the season, so that Tottenham, who had developed him, did not get any of them, so that he received a lot of boos every time he returned to White Hart Lane.

Ahead of the north London derby, former Arsenal player Bam Adebayor has said he will break the Gunners door again on behalf of Tottenham. And this can't help but remind people of the scene when the "Little Monster" played for Manchester City and broke the goal of his old club, and ran around the pitch wantonly.

However, before this encounter, Adebayor, who had already suffered a big loss, restrained a lot of his arrogance and promised that he would never stimulate Arsenal fans again, and as the digger of Togolese goalscorers, Wenger, who is about to usher in his fifteenth year of coaching, also called on his fans to remain calm and report a tolerant heart to Adebayo, but this is obviously unlikely; Arsenal fans are very unhappy with Adebayo, although this is Tottenham Hotspur's territory, although even Tottenham Hotspur fans will occupy the vast majority, but even in the away team stands, even if it is a small territory, Arsenal fans will send their boos and abuse in the game.

There will be no shortage of gunpowder in the north London derby, as it has been from the very beginning; When Xiao Qing and his teammates walked onto the court, the White Hart Lane Stadium had completely exploded. The boos and invective of the Arsenal players almost toppled the roof of the stadium, and the White Lily fans, who were extremely unhappy with Arsenal, even threw a lot of debris at this time. This is the taste of the north London derby, and when these two teams meet in the game, it means that they are full of aggression and gunpowder, and they both have to beat their opponents hard, and there is no mercy at all.

Xiao Qing is still very calm, although the boos and abuse on the White Hart Lane Stadium are more intense, but he is really no stranger to Xiao Qing; This is the fifth season of Xiao Qing's career, and in these five seasons, Xiao Qing has played in some important games and great stadiums. In those games, Xiao Qing and his teammates played the role of persona non grata many times, so although the current boos are very warm, Xiao Qing doesn't need to care at all, what Xiao Qing needs to do is to help the team win the game, what Xiao Qing needs to do is to help Arsenal win at White Hart Lane, which is the best way to hit Tottenham Hotspur.

Xiao Qing is becoming more and more mature now, and now Xiao Qing knows how to adjust his mentality very well; If you want to use some off-the-field things to affect Xiao Qing's emotions, it is not impossible, because Xiao Qing is not a robot. But now some boos like this, Xiao Qing really doesn't care. That's the way it is to play away from home, but the boos at White Hart Lane are a little more intense. Xiao Qing believes that Arsenal's other players are also prepared, these players have basically experienced derby, especially these players are more Arsenal veterans, they are no strangers to such an atmosphere; As for Arteta, Cazorla and others, these veterans are no strangers to derby; Arteta's previous Everton team is also a bitter enemy with Liverpool, and it is not necessarily inferior to the north London derby. The same is true for the Tottenham Hotspur players at this time, who are really no strangers to derbies, although they are extremely serious about this game, although they are eager to win this game; But it doesn't put too much pressure on them because they're ready because they've had too much anticipation and planning for this fight.

Xiao Qing and his teammates are also ready, there are not many opportunities to adjust in such an important game, for Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur players they need to get into the form quickly at the beginning of the game, if they can find the feeling of the game as soon as possible in such a game, then it may help the team to grab some initiative in the game.

Arsenal's players are ready to win this big game; Although this is White Hart Lane, Arsenal's players are still confident of winning the north London derby, as Tottenham have not been Arsenal's opponents for a long time, and although Tottenham have been doing well recently, Arsenal are undoubtedly better.

The Arsenal players are very prepared for this north London derby, and the Tottenham players have obviously been preparing for this game for a long time; At the beginning of the game, Tottenham Hotspur, who were playing at home, used their hard work and enthusiasm to fight for the initiative in the game, they did not think that Arsenal could keep them pressed, and the Spurs players were also desperate to beat Arsenal. Tottenham are in great form at the moment, and their squad is steadily rising; They need to do better, and they look forward to being able to show their strength on a bigger stage; So beating Arsenal, qualifying for the Champions League, or even fighting for the league title; These are what Tottenham Hotspur is looking forward to, maybe they may still lack a little confidence now, but they definitely have a chance to fight for it, and they are definitely not willing to be suppressed again and again.

Tottenham took the initiative after the opening kick-off, and Tottenham at home were aggressive. In the fourth minute, Walker's cross from the right was blocked by Alaba and Modric's corner found Defoe, who was given a close-range header but was in an offside position. In the seventh minute, Bam Adebayor stepped into the box from the right, but he was met by Vermaelen's frontal block.

Although the successive attacks came to an end, the morale of the Spurs players was high because they were playing well as they kept Arsenal at bay for the time being. (To be continued......)
