Arsenal need to continue the 14th round of the league after the win over Everton, the schedule of three games a week is really quite difficult, for the Gunners now they need to overcome the crisis of possible lack of fitness, they need to grit their teeth at this time. Because in the 14th round they will face the century-old rivals Tottenham Hotspur, which is the first London derby in the Premier League this season. Although the current Arsenal is in hot form and morale, Tottenham is not so easy to handle, and now Tottenham is the sixth in the standings, and their strength has been steadily rising in recent years.

Arsenal host Tottenham Hotspur in this fixture, with former Arsenal captain Gallas set to return to the Emirates Stadium for the first time since moving from Arsenal to Tottenham this summer. The deal had caused controversy, and in the face of this accident, Xiao Qing said that he was not angry that Gallas had defected to his sworn enemy.

'I'm not mad at him for defecting to our enemies, he's always been a dedicated professional and he gave his all every game at Arsenal. Football is football and I'm not angry with him, he needs to get out of here and go to a club where he can play the main game, that's what he wants most of all. We're always in touch, opponents on the pitch and friends off the pitch. ”

Compared with Xiao Qing's moderate attitude, Arsenal's other French international Nasri is not so polite, and he even revealed that he has not spoken to Gallas for a year. 'There's not much to say between us, and despite the fact that we often play at the same time, we haven't spoken for a year. Some of the other players in the team also ignored him. ”

The rivalry between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur is really polar, with last season's Arsenal double winning the club signing for Tottenham on a free transfer in the summer. This is unacceptable to Gunners fans. Even if Gallas goes to Manchester United and other Arsenal's main rivals. As long as it's not Arsenal's sworn enemies, Tottenham is enough. But sadly, Gallas went to Tottenham anyway.

Xiao Qing never thought that Gallas's choice was wrong, although Arsenal and Tottenham were mortal enemies, but Gallas had the right to choose; Moreover, Gallas is already 30 years old, and Arsenal's extremely frustrating system of signing veterans over 30 years old once a year makes it difficult for such a meritorious veteran to get a sufficiently insured pension contract at the Emirates Stadium, while at Tottenham, at least Gallas can get perhaps the most lucrative contract at the end of his career.

However, Xiao Qing understands and understands, but he also knows that Arsenal and Tottenham are too sensitive. In the past, Campbell was always regarded as Judas by Tottenham fans; The current Gallas is no better than Arsenal fans, because it is really a frustrating thing for Gunners fans, after all, Gallas used to be Arsenal's captain, but the veteran is now on his way to Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal's most hated team.

Before the season, Gallas could have moved to the Turkish Super League, Ligue 1 or Serie A, and said that he would like to talk to the Premier League about it. But none of the Arsenal fans expected that the new memories that Gallas brought to them would be so bitter.

In any case, how Gallas will be 'welcomed' at the Emirates Stadium this weekend has become the focus of media hype. Gallas' Tottenham team-mate Gareth Bale has already issued a warning to Arsenal. 'It's obviously a tough challenge, but we'll be ready. We need to win every game we play. ”

In the face of Tottenham, a century-old enemy, Arsenal has both proud moments and great embarrassment, in October 2008, the home team was forced to draw 4-4 until today has made the Arsenal people unable to let go, but on the other hand, in recent years, the Gunners still occupy an absolute advantage, aside from the home has been undefeated for 17 years, just look at the last few duels, last season's 3-0 home win in the league and this season's League Cup away 4-0 win is worthy of the Gunners to have more self-confidence.

So it is based on this that Arsenal's official website has listed the top five classic home wins in the history of the north London derby before the game. The Gunners are confident of winning this game, and Arsenal are quite sure that they will continue their unbeaten run against Tottenham Hotspur; Although Arsenal are really tired from playing three games a week, there is no reason for them to lose at home to Tottenham Hotspur.

The 147th north London derby in the top flight was really extraordinary, and the game had already smelled of gunpowder before it even started, and the conflict between the two Frenchmen, Nasri and Gallas, added an extra layer of excitement to the contest.

Arsene Wenger has called on fans at the Emirates Stadium to be friendly with returning former Gunners captain Gallas, but the professor is also clear that the contradictions between Nasri and Gallas are irreconcilable. Although they are both French, the two have been looking at each other unpleasantly for some time.

Two years ago, Gallas revealed in his autobiography that someone in the French team did not respect the old and even grabbed Henry's position on the team bus, and "that young man" pointed to Nasri.

As early as before the international break, Nasri, who has become the core of the current French midfield, was eager to make a name for himself: "Someone wrote in the book that I had a quarrel with him and grabbed someone else's place in the car, which is nonsense. I didn't get into any trouble at Marseille or at Arsenal. People called me a little prick after Euro 2008, but they should have seen that it was the same people who were at odds with me at the time who messed up the Shijie Cup in the summer. ”

According to Gallas, Nasri is too crazy to respect the old players at all, a statement that seems to be shared within the French team, where Nasri only has one friend, Benzema, and no one else can deal with him. However, Nasri didn't care about Gallas's criticism, and in an interview with reporters, he even called the revelations in Gallas's autobiography "rubbish".

The contradiction between the two Arsenal double champions broke out completely at this time, and last season's Arsenal will still deliberately suppress such locker room contradictions in order to win the championship, in fact, they do not have too much impact on Arsenal. But after Gallas left Arsenal, the conflict between Gallas and Nasri was naturally known to the outside world.

Xiao Qing doesn't care about the contradictions between Gallas and Nasri, anyway, the north London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur is never lacking in gunpowder, these two teams appear on the same field, then it is a war to the death, they can't have any friendship with each other at all, they are eager to eat the opponent alive immediately.

Xiao Qing naturally doesn't mind the problems between Gallas and Nasri, maybe Nasri has such and such shortcomings, but the relationship between Xiao Qing and Nasri is still good, even if they can't become the most Haode friends, but they are teammates who can trust each other. Xiao Qing wants to help the team win the game, and Xiao Qing hopes to help Arsenal do better; So in this game, Xiao Qing will obviously give all his efforts, Xiao Qing hopes that the team can continue to move forward, Xiao Qing hopes to help the team achieve a greater lead in the standings and strive to help the team achieve an undefeated record on the continuous progress.

Although the current morale of Arsenal is like a rainbow, although the current Arsenal is in hot form, Tottenham Hotspur is definitely not a good opponent; Especially the rapid growth of Modric, the core of the current Tottenham midfield, has become a first-class midfielder, and Van der Vaart, the winner of the first European Golden Boy Award, has a good performance, coupled with the rapid growth of the winger Gareth Bell with unlimited potential, and even at this time it can be said that Tottenham Hotspur has surpassed Arsenal in the overall strength of the midfield position.

The Gunners are the psychologically superior side at the Emirates Stadium, with Tottenham's last Premier League away beat their rivals in May 1993. However, Tottenham Hotspur is no longer Amon, and some of the goals that were difficult in the past are gradually being achieved by this team with the motto of "dare to think and dare to do". Tottenham's breakthrough in the Champions League last season, and this year's bloody play against European champions Inter Milan, all these changes are indispensable to the touch of coach Redknapp Sr.

Tottenham fans would never have imagined that the team could be so competitive today. Now, two years ago, Ramos's Tottenham Hotspur struggled for relegation, and was forced to step down in October 2008, and the old Redknapp took office on the verge of retention, and after retaining his Premier League seat in the 08-09 season, the old Ray achieved an incredible breakthrough in the second year, breaking the blockade of the four giants and entering the Champions League.

Therefore, this game will definitely not be an easy game for Arsenal, although they are sitting at home, but the dense schedule has greatly weakened Arsenal's hot form; And now the rapid improvement of Tottenham Hotspur has grown into a strong team in the Premier League, maybe they are not strong enough to fight for the league title, but they are definitely capable of overturning any Premier League team, even the defending Premier League champion Arsenal!

The Arsenal have had a hard time accepting the rise of their rivals in north London, with the Gunners having picked up 32 points from 33 points in the previous 11 league meetings, almost overwhelming Tottenham. However, Tottenham are becoming more and more difficult to suppress and Arsenal must accept that there is already a team on the rise in north London to challenge for Arsenal's place.

On November 20, 2010, the fourteenth round of the English Premier League was fully played; And the focus of this round is undoubtedly a heavyweight match like the north London derby; Arsenal are fighting hard to overcome their arch-rivals to continue their unbeaten run in the league, while Tottenham Hotspur are also hoping to beat Arsenal to squeeze into the last four of the table!
