Chapter 210 Leeds United full of momentum
Although Arsenal successfully extended the team's unbeaten record in the league to eleven rounds after this game, the team's recent three consecutive league draws are really giving competition opportunities.
Manchester United, second in the league, beat Stoke City 2-1 at home in this round of the league, successfully narrowing the gap between two points with Arsenal.
The Red Devils under Ferguson obviously believed in the idiom "Jisha Chengta". Sir Ferguson even made a bold statement in the interview that his team would not make any mistakes until the day they added it to the championship.
The meaning of this statement is very clear, which is to imply that Wenger's team will definitely collapse in the second half of the season.
For a moment, the major media calculated the days and realized that it seemed that it was time for the gunman to start to decline.
The professor was too lazy to talk about such unlucky things. He led the team to continue training the next day after the team's game.
Their match is not over this week. Two days later, they will start the team's FA Cup at home, this time their opponent is Leeds United.
However, what the professor least wanted to see happened.
Perhaps it is related to the training method, or the physical condition of the players, Arsenal team fighting in the Premier League will be attacked by injuries every year.
Originally, after the team members recovered from injury, the professor thought that the injury wave this season had passed or would never come again, but the fact was obviously not the case.
In just two days of training, both generals in the Gunners were injured one after another, and Vermalen's injuries repeated again. Diaby, who had just returned, was once again on the injury list.
Just the day before Wenger announced the roster, the team's second goal, Amunia, also injured her back in a save.
This undoubtedly reminded the professor that the physical condition of the players has reached a limit.
Perhaps people have a high desire to win mentally, but excessive force will still hurt themselves.
"We will rotate tomorrow's game."
In the cup, the opponent was not that strong. The professor thought about it and chose to line up a formation mainly with substitutes.
"We will continue to play 451 tomorrow, Bella center, Nasri left forward, Walcott right forward, Ramsey plays as the drag-back midfielder, Rosici and Wilshire break out."
Mainly young players, the professor who loves Little Demon continues to train his players: "I am from Gibbs left behind, Koscheerny and Juru's centre-back, right-back Ebue, goalkeeper Szczesny."
"receive!"
The players who won the start responded excitedly to the professor, and the players who were on the bench could only accept reality.
No words all night, the next day, the eternal passionate gun fans had gathered in the streets near the Emirates Stadium.
They presented a grand "welcoming ceremony" to Leeds United, who came to challenge, and worked hard to win some game advantages for their teams.
And at the Emirates Stadium, the professor had already started warming up with his team early.
"Start warm up!"
Just as the Gunners were warming up at home, the entire Leeds United team quickly ran into the stadium. At the shout of coach Simon Grayson, the young team quickly got up hot.
This contrast of momentum is really not good. When the cameras of Zhan Jun and director appear on the screen, fans all heard his interpretation of Leeds United.
"Leeds United's experience after entering the 21st century was very bumpy. They started with a league with a loss in both seasons in 2006-08."
As a professional commentator, Zhan Jun has a very large reserve of football knowledge. He quickly introduced this team from the English Championship to the fans.
"But Grayson completely activated them after taking over the team, and they were ranked first in the league with 56 points last season."
Looking at the Arsenal team's very embarrassed Leeds United, who was training and shouting on the court, Zhan Jun talked about the Leeds United record that made the Gunners most concerned.
"This team has always performed well in the FA Cup, and last season they first played 1-0 away on the third lap of the FA Cup.
Then they drew 2-2 away with Tottenham, and they lost to Tottenham until the rematch stopped their team's advancement."
You know, last season, Leeds United was still in the League One, and now they have made it to the Championship, and the whole team is united to advance to the Super League.
It is hard to say what the result will be for such a team that is dominated by substitutes.
On the court, the warm-up of the two teams finally ended one after another as time passed, and both sides returned to the locker room to prepare for the game that was about to start.
During this period, Zhan Jun also chatted with the fans and never said anything valuable.
Ten minutes later, accompanied by music, Arsenal, wearing red and white home jerseys and Leeds United, wearing black and yellow jerseys, followed the referee into the stadium.
"The head coaches of the two teams shook hands in a friendly manner. The captains of both sides have decided the ownership of the ball, and Leeds United obtained the kick-off."
When Leeds United striker Vida and McCall stood face to face before the ball, the referee had already put the whistle in his mouth.
"Shh!!!"
With a whistle, the game officially started. McCall pushed the ball to Bida, and Bida turned around and passed it to midfielder Gradel.
"In this game, Leeds United set up a 442 formation. They continued their offensive style in the Championship, while Arsenal continued to set up a 451."
Seeing the ball being passed at Leeds United's halftime, Zhan Jun began to observe the status of the players of both teams: "It looks the same as when we were warming up, and the whole Arsenal team is still in a normal state."
Too many events and no rest time are indeed the norm in the Premier League. For sufficient exposure, the English Football League's crazy arrangement of battles during Christmas and New Year's Eve has always been criticized by coaches and players.
Now, after the opening, except for staying firmly at his own half, the Gunners did not show any top-tier teams' suppression on lower-tier teams.
Time passed by bit by bit, and the lineups of the two teams soon became no longer as complete as they were at the beginning. Both sides penetrated each other and the ball kept shifting.
"The Gunners' possession attack, Rossicky dunked Hosen and sent a pass, Carlos Bella got the ball, hey, it was not controlled well, and it was cut off by Ben Parker."
Carlos Bella fully demonstrated how big the gap between the substitute and the main player was when he won the start. His performance of wasting opportunities quickly caused Arsenal to suffer bitter consequences.
Chapter completed!
