Chapter 475: Asian Derby??
Chapter 475: Asian Derby??
Charlotte Jackson may be 34 years old, but her demeanor is still charming: "Arsenal have rarely implemented 48 hours of closed training, which has not been seen in a long time. In the past, Sir Alex Ferguson was preparing for some important games, such as the Champions League final. This has been done before, but now we don't know what Arsenal are doing so aggressively and down. However, no one has come forward to give a transparent and convincing explanation for the 'Li Fengbo' that has been discussed by the outside world, and the Arsenal club officials have also adopted an evasive attitude towards this. Regardless, the buzz about the Asian genius is getting hotter. ”
"And Arsenal's next opponent will be their sworn enemies, Manchester United. At such a time, does the whole Arsenal team make such a move, does it have anything to do with this game? It stands to reason that the current state and results of Manchester City should not attract so much attention from Arsenal, although the two teams are bitter rivals, but now one is a strong contender for the league title, and the other is a team that may not even qualify for the Europa League But, no matter what, I have a hunch that Moyes's Manchester United is in danger! ”
Time enters April, when the league competition is in full swing, the Champions League is quietly coming again.
The remaining eight teams in the Champions League will play a two-legged battle between home and away, with the winner advancing to the next round and the last four.
And Arsenal's quarter-final opponent is their arch-rival Manchester United, and this is an English civil war above the Champions League!
Of the remaining quarter-finals of the Champions League, there are currently three of England's four teams left, and the only one eliminated is Manchester City, who are not good at playing in the Champions League. Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United all managed to survive, with United having the best of luck as they qualified from the group against Greek side Olympiacos, one of the weakest teams in the round of 16, and won the tournament with a slight upheaval in the end.
This time around, though, Manchester United's luck was not so good, as they faced Premier League title candidates Arsenal. Although Arsenal are currently winless in three league games, they are still third in the league table, level on points with second-placed Manchester City, and Manchester United are now eighth in the league!
And Arsenal have been using rotation for two consecutive games to recuperate, so there is no doubt that they will go all out in this game against their sworn enemies, whether it is to "humiliate" their sworn enemies or to advance to the next round!
At the pre-match press conference, Wenger was annoyed by the repeated questions asked by reporters about Li Zihan, and ended the press conference hastily.
Despite decades of dealing with them, the professor still hurts them for this kind of urine. To be honest, they will never believe it, and they will have to work hard to find the "truth", and then find some loopholes in your answers, and finally "decorate" them
Damn, a media that doesn't know how to write novels is not a good screenwriter
Before the game, both sides announced their starting lists. Arsenal were the main players, with goalkeeper Szczesny in the back by Merdessatt, Koscielny, Gibbs and Sagna. In midfield, Aaron Ramsey was partnered by Flamini, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Mesut Ozil on the wings, with Wilshere up front. Of course, this position may not be fixed, as Ozil and the little threat can switch positions at any time. Wilshere is a versatile player who can play as a centre-back, midfielder and wing-back.
On the front line, it is naturally Li Zihan, who is full of firepower, to start. However, in this game, Wenger did not pull Li Zihan to the side, let Giroud play as a center forward, the French center forward was sitting on the bench in this game, and he also had Cazorla who returned from injury next to him! After two weeks of recuperation, Cazorla finally made a comeback, although his form may not be at his best, but in the final moment of the title race, it undoubtedly relieved Arsenal, who had not had enough depth in the squad.
Arsene Wenger's important midfielder Diaby and striker Theo Walcott are still recuperating from injury, and Walcott does not seem to be getting better before the end of the season, and now it will be up to him to catch the World Cup bus.
As for Diaby, he has become a glass physique since he was maliciously tackled, and he has not played a game this season.
Before the game, the Japanese media touted that the match would not only be a contest between rivals Arsenal and Manchester United, but also a derby in Asia.
The direct dialogue between the most famous Japanese international Shinji Kagawa and the most famous Chinese player Li Zihan may be the match of who will become the new generation of Asian kings. Before Li Zihan, Asia's football brother was undoubtedly Shinji Kagawa. He had a brilliant career at Borussia Dortmund and made a steady splash after moving to top club Manchester United.
But with the rise of Li Zihan, the new coach Moyes does not value Shinji Kagawa, and he, the king of Asia, has too much water. It's April, and he's only made 12 appearances for United, most of them coming off the bench.
Li Zihan is now the league's top scorer, and his 28 goals are currently ahead of Suarez, who has 26 goals. Li Zihan still has two games to play, otherwise it is very likely that this number has broken through the 30 mark. At the same time, Li Zihan also has eleven assists in the league, and he has become a player who has scored double goals and assists this season.
In the Champions League, he has also scored seven goals so far, although it cannot be compared with Cristiano Ronaldo with 14 goals, Ibrahimovic with 10 goals and Messi with 8 goals, but this goal also puts him in fourth place, and he and Atletico Madrid's striker Diego Costa are currently tied for fourth with seven goals.
I believe that this number is not the final ranking, because Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have not been eliminated from the competition yet, and everyone has a chance to refresh this number!
Shinji Kagawa, on the other hand, has not scored a single league goal for Manchester United so far, with only four assists in hand.
In such a comparison of numbers, Chinese netizens released a mocking move: "Such numbers are all compared with my Dahan Niang, are you hacking my Dahan Niang?" ”
The fans of the three countries in East Asia are also very interesting, when scolding the Japanese, Chinese fans and South Korean fans have something in common, when scolding the Chinese, Japanese fans and Korean fans have something in common, and when scolding Koreans, Chinese fans and Japanese fans have something in common
This relationship was played to the fullest by football fans and netizens, when Arsenal played against Swansea, a South Korean player sent Yong, the Korean media did the idea of an Asian derby, but the Japanese media scoffed at it, and the game without Shinji Kagawa can be called an Asian derby?
And now when the Japanese media are hyping up the idea of the Asian derby, the Korean media is sarcastically saying that it is embarrassing to have such a dismal number and table xiàn ability?
Although they don't like each other, the South Korean media and the Japanese media still don't suspect Li Zihan. Such a result and the table xiàn is really black he can't find a place, is it black he scored too many goals?
So it's not a black family, it's a slap in the face!! If even such results are black, what do you think of the results of Shinji Kagawa, Keisuke Honda, Yuto Nagatomo, Ji Chengyong, Son Heungmin and others?
It's just that the Japanese media is doomed to be disappointed, because when David Moyes announced the Manchester United list before the game, Shinji Kagawa once again missed out on the starting eleven.
The goalkeeper is Spain's young international David De Gea, the central defenders are an old and young pairing, the veteran Vidic partners the youngster Smalling, Phil Jones and Evans are injured and miss the game, and Rio Ferdinand is on the bench. At full-back, the French veteran Patrice Evra sits on the left, and the young Brazilian Rafael produced by Manchester United's academy is on the right!
In midfield, Moyes's favored Fellaini naturally appeared in the starting position. Although the Belgian midfielder's appearance after arriving at Manchester United is not as good as when he was at Everton, Fellaini, who is Moyes' henchman, is also often in the starting line-up.
Fellaini was joined by Michael Carrick in midfield, while Ecuadorian winger Valencia and England attacking midfielder Cleverley split the flanks.
Up front is England striker Rooney, who was withdrawn by Moyes, and Dutchman Van Persie plays the central striker position in the front.
This is the four-four-one-formation that Moyes has often used at Manchester United this season, and after he pulled Rooney back, Lu Xiaopang had to take on more responsibility. Not only does he have to drop back to get the ball and pass assists and score goals himself, but he also has to help the team defend and organise the attack.
Juan Mata, who moved to Manchester United during the winter break, avoided the game due to UEFA rules that prevent the same player from playing for two teams in a single season, and he could not even make the 18-man squad and could only watch from the stands.
Although David Moyes also has a crush on Mata, Spain's position in this Manchester United is very awkward, as most of his work is done by Wayne Rooney
The Japanese media were very unhappy with such an arrangement, because they felt that Moyes did not give them face. They hyped up the Asian derby vigorously for two or three days, and Moyes actually put one of the protagonists, Shinji Kagawa, on the bench.
In their opinion, it would be okay to replace Cleverley or Valencia and let Shinji Kagawa come up. In terms of attack, Shinji Kagawa is more aggressive than Cleverley, and Valencia even took off the previous Manchester United No. 7 shirt because of his poor appearance
So, why can these two start!!
