Chapter 142, it's very cruel
After the draw with Manchester United.
Arsenal's winning streak came to an abrupt end.
This was followed by a Carabao Cup match.
Arsenal's opponents are Middlesbrough from the Championship.
For other Arsenal players.
It's a game day where you can take a break.
However, Yelo still needs to lead the development squad and the Under-19s in this game.
It was a tough game for Arsenal.
Until the ninetieth minute of the game.
The score was still three to three.
Just when people thought that Arsenal would probably be forced to extra-time by a Championship team, or even a penalty kick, to decide the winner.
Ye Luo completed the stunner in the 92nd minute of the game.
Led the team to the next round of the League Cup.
After the League Cup.
Ye Luo immediately returned to play in the league.
Round 10 of the league.
Arsenal beat Aston Villa 3-0 at home.
Yelo scored twice.
He has now scored 22 goals in the league this season.
And that's just 10 league games.
His tally for the season has also reached 39.
In the Champions League.
Yelo also continued his frantic form in the Champions League group stage.
Arsenal thrashed Monaco 4-0 at home.
Yelo scored two goals and provided one assist.
In this game, Arsenal even made a wide range of rotations.
Replaced nearly half of the main players.
As a result, the rotation is so large.
Arsenal have also been so strong at home.
Monaco, who thought they had a chance to take advantage of the opportunity to score points away from home, swallowed four bullets and returned home bitterly.
After four rounds of the group stage.
Arsenal have won all four games to pick up 12 points.
They are top of the group, three points ahead of second-placed PSV Eindhoven. Galatasaray in third place and Monaco in fourth place are both on one point. This means that Arsenal have already qualified from the group two rounds ahead of schedule.
Now all they have to solve is to show up as the first in the group.
They will soon be able to solve this problem, because on November 22, Arsenal will host PSV Eindhoven in the fifth round of the group stage, beating their opponents and being able to qualify as group winners one round earlier.
In this group, no team can stop them.
In the 11th round of the league, Arsenal hosted Nottingham Forest.
Arsenal showed no mercy in a clean 2-0 win at home.
Forest used to be the dominant team in Europe, and now they are back in the Premier League, but it will take a long, long time for them to recover, maybe 10 years, maybe 50 years.
It can't be right now anyway.
Nottingham Forest are now relegation favourites.
They have only picked up three points from 10 Premier League games.
It can be said that it is quite miserable.
Nottingham Forest, once the Champions League hegemon, has now been reduced to the point where they are occasionally promoted to the Premier League and then quickly sink.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are already on the road to revival.
After the game against Nottingham Forest, Arsenal have to travel to Sunderland in three days' time.
It's another Carabao Cup game.
The League Cup has reached its fourth round.
One step further is the quarter-finals.
If you can get past the quarter-finals, you'll be able to reach the semi-finals.
The Carabao Cup has been reformed since this season, with the semi-finals being played on a home-and-away basis, and after two games, more goals are scored in the final.
If both teams have the same number of goals, unlike in European competitions, the number of away goals will not be compared, but 30 minutes of extra time will be played, and if the winner has not been decided in extra time, a penalty shootout will be played.
After the semi-finals, it's the final.
The rookies of the reserve squad will be able to play at Wembley Stadium, many of whom have not yet played on the pitch.
It's an exciting prospect for them.
They have been working hard to achieve this goal......
Desperately in training.
It's no surprise that Arsenal are sending their reserves squad for the Carabao Cup.
Some media feel that this is Arsenal not doing their best and ignoring their opponents.
But sending a reserve squad to play in the Carabao Cup is something that many big clubs do.
The only difference is that other giants are usually playing against weaker teams, such as those from League One.
It's rare for Arsenal to play with a reserve team for all competitions.
But that's all the media talk about.
Some media believe that Arsenal have relied on the model of the reserve team Gayelo to win the Carabao Cup, which is a dream.
Before the start of the Carabao Cup against Sunderland.
Manager Arsene Wenger didn't say much in the dressing room.
Sunderland are favourites to be relegated this season – then again, which season have Sunderland not favourites?
But it's a black cat.
There are nine lives.
Every season can be thrilling relegation.
They are in the Premier League and are naturally stronger than Championship side Middlesbrough.
So Arsenal still have to be quite careful
Especially in this game, they are still on the reserve team + Yelo mode.
In order to be able to win the seven crowns.
Ye Luo also fought hard.
And the rookies in the reserves are sometimes too unstable.
In case they get too nervous and end up losing the game.
Arsenal failed in that goal.
The lost champion will not come back.
It also proves how difficult it is to win them all.
Both the League Cup and the FA Cup are a game of victory and defeat and can be eliminated if you are not careful, and this format is the most accidental.
Or how can it be said that it is a hotbed of unpopularity.
If Arsenal loses, isn't it a joke for everyone to see in the Cup?
Wengersh only lightly instructed a few words.
It looks like Sunderland is very unconcerned.
For the reserve players, every game in the League Cup is a final.
With Ye Luo's leadership, it is possible for them to make it all the way to the final and win the championship.
Stimulated by this goal.
Their fighting spirit is unprecedented.
At all costs.
They're all going to Wembley with Yelo!
With the support of such a thought.
They were holding their breath right now.
It's like a pot of boiling water, suppressed in a pressure cooker.
It's about to be vented.
Until then.
The boiling steam will burst with infinite power.
The power of steam is great.
This force propelled human civilization into the industrial age.
Now that power is in the hearts of the players.
They have to use a force to push themselves.
Go and do what seems almost impossible!
With Yelo.
Go Wembley!
For Sunderland.
The development team at home to Arsenal - even if this team adds Yelo, there is nothing to fear.
Arsenal's reserve team testified at home and was also forced to panic by Middlesbrough.
If it weren't for Ye Luo's super play, Arsenal would probably have to go home after this game.
But even Ye Luo.
It can't break out in every game, right?
It's absolutely impossible to happen.
If it happens, then you deserve to be unlucky.
So Sunderland thinks here.
Knocking out Arsenal by himself is probably a high probability event - unless Yelo also has a big four in this game.
That's what Sunderland's players thought.
That's what their fans think too.
The media hype up every day what problems Arsenal's reserves are facing.
So much so that people feel that the Arsenal reserve team is just in the name of Arsenal, but it is actually a fish belly team with no strength at all.
So will Sunderland lose at home to such a belly?
Of course not.
Sunderland, for their part, felt they had won.
Arsenal fans also feel that it is a bit unreliable to rely on the reserve team to go to Wembley.
They are all worried about the future of the team.
However, the game started from the beginning.
The situation is completely different from what people imagined.
There is a world of difference between the performances of Arsenal's reserve squad now and their first game against Middlesbrough.
They are aggressive in attack and tenacious in defence.
This game they completely let go!
Positive running and full of confidence.
Sunderland aren't a strong team either.
So in the face of the bus set up by Arsenal's reserves, there is really nothing they can do.
They were barely able to get the ball into the Arsenal penalty area except for long-range shots.
As a matter of fact.
Everyone has fallen into a misunderstanding.
They all thought that Middlesbrough in the Championship could cause so much trouble to Arsenal.
This is of course even more important in the Premier League, Sunderland.
However, not much has been studied why Middlesbrough are a threat to Arsenal – because of their simple and brutal style of play, using the flow of body to deal with the small players in the reserves, who of course cannot afford it.
Sunderland is a Premier League-level team.
Their style of play is still somewhat technical, and against an Arsenal reserve team that looks weaker than them, they are looking for control, half-court siege, and trying to knock down opponents technically.
But that's it.
Sunderland's biggest weakness, the inexperienced physicality of Arsenal's reserves, was not exploited by Sunderland, with the skill and discipline at their feet just enough to restrain the opposition's technical flow. ,
So on the actual threat.
Sunderland are not as good as Middlesbrough, who simply and brutally play long balls and rushes.
After all, football is not a simple math problem
Sunderland laid siege to Arsenal's reserves after almost twenty minutes without scoring.
It's no surprise that Arsenal's development team were the first to score on the counter-attack – and this is not surprising when everyone looked back at the game after the game.
In fact, when the game is really going on.
When Arsenal scored first. 、
Everyone was still surprised.
It wasn't Arsenal who surprised them.
It's that the player who scored the goal was not Yelo.
It wasn't Yelo who opened the scoring for the team.
The goal was an assist from Yelo.
Then the 18-year-old Academy youngster Gnabry smashed the ball into the back of the net in the six-yard box.
At that time, Yelo attracted almost all the attention of the defense.
The rest of Arsenal's reserve squad is almost entirely unguarded.
Gnabry when he runs into the box.
Ye Luo's pass came.
Then he heard Yelo yelling "shoot".
It's almost instinctive.
He fell to the ground and tackled.
The ball was easily blocked by him.
And so came Arsenal's first goal.
Gnabry was still stunned after the goal.
Ye Luo had already pounced with a group of teammates.
"Well done!!"
After Yeloh picked him up.
Gnabry, who was a little skinny, only reacted.
I scored a goal!!
I've scored a goal in a real professional arena!
It was Sunderland, who were still playing in the Premier League last season!!
His eyes immediately turned red.
"Did I score a goal!!!"
More teammates rushed up and slapped him on the head.
I want to stain his good luck.
"Well done!!"
Everyone was cheering.
They can feel it.
I have a fire in my heart.
illuminates the path in my heart.
At the end of the road is the majestic Wembley.
Sunderland's players are depressed.
Before the game, they thought that Arsenal's biggest threat was Yelo.
So all they think about is how to deal with Yelo, not how to deal with Arsenal.
They don't think they're underestimating, and they even think they're careful enough.
Because they don't think this Arsenal reserve team is enough for them to take too seriously.
As long as they jam Yelo, they can completely freeze their attack.
Unexpectedly, it was not Yelo who scored, but other Arsenal players.
As a matter of fact.
Being able to play all the way to the reserve team in the youth system of a Premier League giant like Arsenal.
At least he can be considered a professional player in the quasi-top league.
Many of them will go on to play in the Championship or Premier League.
So they have a certain amount of technical ability.
At least a qualified professional player.
When you don't defend against these guys, that's giving confidence – what these reserve players lack right now is confidence.
Now the confidence of the players in the Arsenal reserve squad is here.
They feel that their hard training has finally paid off.
The desire to go to Wembley seems to be getting closer.
It was a huge morale boost for the Arsenal players.
In the next game.
Arsenal's reserves are led by Yelo.
Took control of the pace of the game.
They put up a fence in their own half.
Keep your opponent's pass to a standstill with an aggressive run.
Threaten the opponent's goal with a counter-attack.
In fact, no matter how Arsenal is, it is also a giant team in the Premier League.
The quality of youth training is guaranteed.
These Academy players are one of the best in England as a whole.
Therefore, they all have a certain ability.
These abilities, combined with the confidence they have acquired, come into play naturally.
These players are capable of their own.
It's just a lack of game experience.
Once they have accumulated experience in the game.
They won't be worse than these Sunderland players.
Not to mention the teammates who have played together for several years.
There is nothing to say about the tacit understanding itself.
So when their faith arises.
The next game was a tough one for Sunderland.
They can't attack, and they can't defend it.
The threat posed by Ye Luo is so great.
Towards the end of the first half.
Yelo blasted Sunderland's door open with a long-range shot.
Combined with what everyone saw in the first half.
Everyone feels that the suspense of this game has basically been lost.
Forty-five minutes into the second half.
Sunderland will probably find it difficult to do anything.
Even they should pray.
Pray that you don't lose too badly.
The final score was four to one.
Yelo scored again in the second half.
He also assisted on another request.
Two goals.
Two assists.
Arsenal reserves eliminated Sunderland.
Advance to the next round!
The performance of Arsenal's reserves.
Let the media turn their heads and start praising it.
Many players have been branded as talents by the English media.
Their fame began to grow gradually.
But that's for them.
Just the beginning.
If someone loses their genius, the fame of their genius will eventually be lost.
Professional football.
It's brutal. (End of chapter)
