Chapter 122: Fighting for the Four Crazy Demons

Since the start of the 04-05 season, Arsenal have never won the league title, but they have never dropped out of the top four of the league either.

It seems that the team's goal every season is to compete for the top four in the Premier League and qualify for the Champions League.

Some fans joked: friendship first, competition second, Arsenal fourth.

If they finish in the top four, they can be forced to draw or even lose by teams in the middle and lower tiers.

But as long as you are in fourth place, especially in the last few rounds of the league, no matter who the opponent is, you will be killed.

Definitely don't mess with Arsenal in the race for four.

Arsenal are now sixth in the table with 42 points, just two points away from fourth-placed Manchester United.

Arsene Wenger is a professor with confidence for Tuesday's game.

On the starting lists of both sides, one name caught his eye in particular.

Rosie.

Arsene Wenger, who likes young players, could not have been unaware of Rossi, who had been a big player in the Championship, but he hesitated.

First of all, the team has Sanchez, who joined from Barcelona last summer, Black Pearl Welbeck, Little Tiger Walcott, and big center Giroud, and there is no shortage of people in the forward line.

Furthermore, Rossi's current value is around Β£4.5 million, and Wenger will certainly not spend this unjust money to buy a substitute.

So, Rossi has always been in the scope of his investigation.

Now his first game back at Lyrcester City is to play against his own team, so it's time to take a good look at him and see if it's worth bringing in this summer.

Rossi travels to London on the team bus and always loops "liekkas" in his headphones.

When you come to the Emirates Stadium, the two cannons placed at the door are particularly eye-catching.

The kneeling Henry, the flying blogger Kemp, the two bronze statues instantly bring people back to the glorious moments of Arsenal.

The 60,000-capacity Emirates Stadium has three tiers of grandstands, creating a blood-pumping atmosphere.

It was just warm-up time, and the stadium was almost full of fans, and the team song "North London Forever" was already slowly singing in the mouths of the fans.

I have to say that the more the big team, the stronger the atmosphere at home.

In the roar of the audience, the players of both sides slowly walked into the Emirates Stadium under the leadership of the referee.

Rossi wore a waistcoat and sat in the lounge area.

Although he was in the squad for the game, after only a week of joint training, Pearson could not guarantee that he would fit in perfectly with the team, so he did not put him in the starting position.

5-4-1。

This defensive lineup once again shows the conservative nature of Pearson's tactics.

This is understandable, the bottom of the league, playing away, the opponent is Arsenal, and everyone will put the defense first.

It's a thank god to get a draw at home to Arsenal, who are in the race for four.

Arsene Wenger fielded his usual 4-3-3 attacking formation, with Olivier Giroud returning from injury and on the bench.

[This is the 25th round of the Premier League this season, with Arsenal hosting the bottom-ranked Lyicester City. 】

[In the last round of the north London derby, Arsenal lost to Tottenham Hotspur away and fell out of the Champions League zone. It has been three months since the city came to the bottom of the standings. 】

[Before the winter window closed, Lyicester City recalled the young player Rossi, who played in the Championship, and he was also on the bench for this game. 】

[Huh? 】

The on-site narrator suddenly became a little excited.

[It's Henry, oh my God, our King of Highbury is back!]

! 】

Amid a burst of cheers from the fans, Henry, who was sitting in the VIP area, stood up with a smile and waved to the fans to thank him.

Inside the Emirates Stadium, there was a sudden uproar.

Not long ago, Henry retired from the Red Bulls in New York, ending his 18-year career.

Loyal gun fans will always remember that the best Henry was in London, in Highbury.

380 games, 226 goals, 4 Premier League Golden Boots, 2 Premier League trophies, 49 unbeaten games, all-time top scorer.

It all belonged to the former King of Highbury.

Amid the long-lasting applause of the fans, Henry sat down in his seat and said to the beautiful woman next to him: "Miss Lot, welcome to the Emirates Stadium."

"Thank you, and congratulations on coming home." Pixie replied politely.

Henry smiled and went home, Arsenal was home forever.

"I didn't expect Miss Lott to like to watch football too." Henry asked graciously, "Which player do you like the most right now, and which one is on the field?"

Pixie was a little embarrassed and shook her head, "He's not on the court."

If it's not on the court, could it be me?

As an Arsenal legend, Henry has such strength and confidence.

Drip~~~~

With a long whistle, the game officially began, and the Lycester City team attacked first.

After a few simple passes, Cambiaso sent a long ball from the midfield position to Schlupp, who was left wing-back.

Schlupp, who was originally a central midfielder, was made a left winger by the manager after being promoted to the Premier League due to his high physical fitness, fast speed and all-round defense.

On this side, he can use his superior physicality to balance the offensive and defensive ends of the wing.

After winning the ball, Schlupp attacked with the ball along the wing, faced Rosicky's defense, took a step forward with his right foot, and his body started at the same time.

This simple acceleration is very brutal and takes advantage of the player's individual abilities.

And for Rosicky, who is already 34 years old, it is time to take advantage of the speed to eat it raw.

Rosicky, who has experienced a hundred battles, defended sideways, turned around to make up for the defense at the first time, chased back a few steps and then put a shovel, not only intercepting the opponent's breakthrough, but also snatching the ball back.

The successful defense also won the applause of the fans.

After Rosicky broke the ball, he looked up and sent a long diagonal pass to Ozil in front.

Arsenal played a trident up front, but left winger Mesut Ozil had to drop back to control the ball from time to time.

When there is no passing space in the middle, Mesut Ozil moves the ball to the wing, while Rosicky quickly moves in to the midfield position and becomes the heart of the team's transition between attack and defence.

Or on the side of Walcotra, inserting space in the opponent's ribs for Rosicky and then using excellent dribbling to disrupt the opponent's defence.

All in all, Arsenal's midfield attack is very fast and flexible, and the excellent passing makes it possible for every player to be the finisher of the attack.

In the absence of a midfield advantage, the Lyicester City team deployed a drag-back central defender to make up for the opponent's instant insertion.

The two centre-backs can also mark the space in the ribs and press the player with the ball.

This is Pearson's defensive deployment against Arsenal, hoping to take a point at the Emirates Stadium.

But after the start, Arsenal's control of the ball was far higher than the Ster City team imagined.

In the third minute, Rosicky used excellent dribbling to dribble horizontally from the wing, pulled out the defense of Upson and Schlupp, and created opportunities for Walcott and Sanchez to cut forward.

But he didn't choose to pass the ball first, but made a one-two with Ozil in the middle to get rid of Schlupp's pressing.

Rosicky, who came to the top of the arc of the penalty area with the ball, instantly attracted the attention of the three central defenders.

In the tight space, there seemed to be no passing lines anymore, but Rosicky distributed the ball to Sanchez and quickly stepped forward.

Sanchez turned his back to get the ball, saw his teammate cut forward, and sent the ball directly to Rosicky's feet without stopping.

Dragged back central defender Hut always maintained a sideways position, but he never imagined that Arsenal's attack was so sharp.

Turn around and chase back!

Hute longed for an extra pair of legs.

Rosicky was seen to get up and prepare to shoot, but he fell to the ground and slid to block the angle of the shot.

The distracted Rosicky hit the near corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper Schwarzer, who was attacked, dragged him off the line with his left hand.

Ooh!

After missing the goal, the Arsenal fans let out a chorus of exclamation.

Rosicky also looked up to the sky and covered his face, showing a regretful expression.

[Oh, Arsenal, which is worthy of beautiful football, used delicate passes in the front court at the beginning to tear apart the defense. 】

[If it weren't for Hutt dragging behind, this ball Rosicky would have been a one-handed ball. 】

[Now it's Arsenal's corner from the right, and it's Mesut Ozil.] 】

[The ball is passed to the back point, the header! ]

! 】

With the earth-shattering exclamations of the home fans, the ball flew into the net.

【goal!

!

! 】

[Lyicester City's defense actually leaked, giving Koscielny a header opportunity. 】

[In just 5 minutes of the opening game, Arsenal scored a goal, and actually used a header to knock on the goal of the Lyicester City team. 】

[Arsenal, on the road to the fourth, has never let us down. 】

At the moment of the goal, Pearson danced with his fists and shouted at the player.

Arsenal had only two or three men at the top of the game, and it was a serious mistake to miss it when defending.

It was an unforgivable mistake.

After the goal, Koscielny ran to the sidelines and his teammates gathered around to celebrate with the fans.

Coming City, who played a back five, was knocked open by Arsenal with a header, didn't this slap Pearson in the face?

However, this was only the fourth minute of the game.

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
