Chapter two hundred and fourteen like a dream
Time passes quietly like water.
A few days of training are not really long for a long season, and Arsenal's reply to its form is not really good.
After thinking about it for a while, Wenger had to once again adopt a second-tier lineup dominated by substitutes when announcing the roster.
"Tomorrow our formation is 451."
On the big screen, the team's formation will be pointed out tomorrow, and the professor no longer hesitated and quickly reported the starting list he arranged.
"Bentner center, Nasri left winger, Wilhelm and Feng breeze front midfield, Alexander Song dragged back midfield, Walcott right winger."
"receive!"
In the overall rotation of the team, the positioning of many players is not so clear as to whether they are substitutes or main players.
However, Xiao Fa and Rosici were both substitutes, while Liu Feng's decision to play in the front midfield still reflected many problems.
In fact, Liu Feng cannot play in the midfield. He had games with the responsibility of organizing offensively when he was in Piacenza, and Wenger has consciously tempered him in training.
It can only be said that Rossicky and Xiaofa's physical condition problems seem to be somewhat prominent.
The professor did not explain the obligation to the players, and he began to continue reporting the team's defense line arrangements: "Four defenders Krish, Koscheerny, Juru and Sanya, goalkeeper Fabianski."
"receive!"
"I hope you all can pay attention to tomorrow's game. We are very close to the final. I believe you don't want to end this season without any success."
"clear!!!"
Waving his hand to sign the meeting, Wenger quickly left after arranging the time and place for the team to gather tomorrow.
The worries are his, and the players are the ones during the game. He must not show too much disapproval of the team's next game in front of the players.
You should know that Ipswich's strength is already very clear when he can reach the semi-finals as a champion team.
This team has been winning streaks in the Champions League recently, and the entire team is far better than the current Gunners in terms of morale and condition.
Early the next morning, the team members who entered the roster gathered in the parking lot and set off.
The team will take a bus to cross several cities to the Portman Road Stadium in East England, the largest stadium in East England and a huge reliance on which Ipswich Club relies on.
When the bus entered the opponent's city, the booing in his ears became commonplace. Most of the Arsenal players who were in a bad mood were wearing headphones and were too lazy to pay attention to the provocations of home fans.
They just want to care about the game, and nothing else wants to care about.
Compared to Arsenal's dullness, Ipswich, who is at home, is quite excited. They keep pleasing their fans in various ways while warming up.
These players are proud to be able to play against Arsenal, which is now at the top of the Premier League, and several defensive players are also ready to compete with the Gunners' Super Maple.
So, what will happen when the competition begins?
"A Feng shot! Oh, his shooting condition was surprisingly bad in this game. This is the second time he has kicked the ball away."
The game has been thirty minutes since the game started. The Ipswich team, who had set out 442, completed several powerful attacks in succession. They shot the ball within the goal frame more than once, with only some luck.
On the Gunners' side, although Liu Feng still got rid of it with three players, he no longer had the style of a top shooter every time he shot.
If you didn't know Liu Feng's invincible performance in previous games, people might think that this is a very lame second-rate striker.
Later, Liu Feng, who realized that he felt something was wrong, began to reduce shots and send shells to his teammates, but the situation was still not very good.
It continued until the end of the midfield, and Arsenal did not really threaten the opponent's shot. People clearly felt that Ipswich's condition was getting stronger and stronger.
If it weren't for the midfield whistle, it would be a very difficult thing for the home team to score goals in the next game.
At least Zhan Jun was relieved for Arsenal when the game entered the halftime break.
"The Gunners barely maintained the situation. They should be glad that Koscheerney was in very good shape in this game, otherwise he would have conceded the ball."
After closing the locker room door, the professor didn't need to mention his speech to the players. The players who performed poorly in the first half lowered their heads and said nothing.
It was not until the end that Wenger began to make tactical adjustments.
In fact, there is nothing to adjust. The team's 451 play is the best arrangement under the opponent's fire offensive. He just made more detailed arrangements in the subtle areas.
Unfortunately, none of these adjustments can save the gunman.
After the second half of the game began, everything passed through the Gunners' minds like a dream.
First, less than four minutes into the second half, the opponent's forward Wickham intercepted the ball in the frontcourt and launched a counterattack and scored.
Then Liu Feng finally broke out and cut into the inside of the penalty area with the ball from the left, and was about to take a shot.
Then, a crazy and sports-free tackle behind the scenes was born.
In the 55th minute of the game, Ipswich defender McOli was thrown away by Liu Feng on the left side of the penalty area and then directly made a tackle.
The shoe nails were shoveled, the person behind the back was shoveled, and the calf was hit. A series of bad behaviors made the Arsenal players on the field completely angry.
They rushed forward, who were already suppressed and beaten to death. While the team doctor quickly came on the field to check Liu Feng's injury, Bentner pushed lightly, and the home team's midfielder Norris fell to the ground.
A new wave of chaos was in the court. The players of the two teams kept pushing and shoving in the clash. The referee's crazy whistle was unable to stop it in time.
When the chaos ended, the referee had already lost his cards.
"McOrley ended with a red card, Bentner, who pushed the guy, ended with a red card, Wilhel received a yellow card, Kennedy, who stood out for his teammate, and Walcott received a yellow card."
Zhan Jun frowned and pondered the final result: "The players' irrationality made this game very chaotic, and A Feng also got out of the game."
In fact, compared to the card battle on the field, people are more concerned about Liu Feng's injuries.
Wenger, after the team doctor's gesture comparison, urgently called Al Shavin to warm up. The fans finally realized that Liu Feng seemed to be seriously injured this time.
What made the most climax cut painful for gun fans was that Wilhel, who took the penalty kick from Liu Feng's injury, sent the ball to the stands because of his emotional instability.
"The penalty kick was not scored! Oh ~~, this is a very serious waste of opportunity."
Chapter completed!
