Chapter 969 The bus at the Emirates Stadium
"We will play 442 in tomorrow's game."
The 442 commonly used in the No. 2 lineup is enabled. This option is to attack and retreat and defend, and can be adjusted well when the team is in a disadvantage.
The two forwards were sent to Giroud and Walcott, which was a pure substitute forward lineup. In the four midfield positions behind them, Rosici was also the same.
Chamberlain, Rosici, De Jong and Caszorla, four players were lined up one after another. As the team's outstanding performance in training during this period, they are the most suitable choice.
On the back line, this time, both Mertesacker and Vermullen, who are the team's two main defenders, did not make a appearance. Phil Jones and Coscheerney, who have been starting for a long time, became the starter of this game.
In the left and right full-back positions, there are two players, Gibbs and Macon, and the goalkeeper has changed from Fabiansky to Szczesny.
Such a starting lineup is much worse than the starting lineup in the FA Cup game, but it cannot be said that it is not enough to face an opponent like Norwich. After all, these starting teams are definitely enough for other teams to start.
"Tomorrow's game will be played at our doorstep. Don't be embarrassed in front of the fans! Do you understand?"
"I understand coach!"
"Very good, I will keep watching you off the court. If there is any problem, I will make a substitution as soon as possible."
"learn!"
Compared to his speeches to the main players, the professor seems a bit too strict with the substitute players, but this is only natural.
In a team that is competitively motivated by Arsenal, if substitutes cannot satisfy the coach, they will sell these substitutes as soon as the team starts to strengthen.
If you don't want to leave, it is necessary to create enough efficiency in the limited playing time the coach gives you.
With a wave of his hand, he signaled the team to disband. The players left the conference room with their own thoughts. Whether they entered the starting lineup or the bench, they were eager to try, while the players who were not on the roster began to worry.
The season is coming to an end. Although the team's current lineup and style of play have basically stabilized, judging from the strength of the recruitment in these two seasons, it is very likely that there will be another blood exchange.
From now until the end of the season, how to make the professor feel that you are indispensable is a topic that everyone in this team except Liu Feng needs to face.
...
On the morning of the London morning came very early, and the temperature also rebounded after April. Although there were light rains from time to time, it was basically time to get rid of the time when I needed to wear a scarf and a scarf.
Fans began to gather outside the Emirates Stadium early, and everyone was discussing the team's schedule this week when the crowds were crowded.
The joy of successfully advancing to the FA Cup final has not faded, and a league game and a UEFA Champions League knockout match with considerable suspense are in front of you again, which is definitely a happy trouble for fans.
The happiness is that there are more games to watch and more honors to look forward to, but the trouble is that the team's schedule is really too intensive.
However, all this dissipated directly as the red and white bus drove into the streets near the stadium.
"Arsenal! Arsenal! Aunt! Oh oh oh ~ Arsenal is invincible!"
No matter what kind of emotions you have in your heart, fans can always get extremely powerful strength when they see the players wearing team uniforms.
This power does not come out of thin air, but slowly accumulates with the victory of one game after another.
The players sitting on the bus were not cold at all. They took the initiative to open the window and interact with their fans.
The more intense the welcome the Gunners received when they entered the court, the more booed their opponent Norwich were. Shortly after the Arsenal bus entered the court, their opponent's bus came outside the court.
"Shh~~~"
“FXXX!”
Don't expect British football hooligans to be compared with British gentlemen, this is a magical country with two sides.
Norwich, who had no advantage in fans, was further hit by such a huge boo. If their coach had not emphasized the danger of relegation again and again, the team might not want to play this game with the first league.
However, even with this emphasis, the gap in momentum between the two sides can be clearly seen when warming up.
This made the game seem to have been doomed from the beginning.
Both sides warmed up and left the stadium and returned to the locker room, and then appeared on the stadium again after a short period of time. The protagonist of the game, Arsenal, received the most cheers, even the substitute lineup.
"Okay, both sides have decided to stand on the court. Norwich took the lead in this game, and their two forwards, Kamala and Hurahan, are ready."
“嘘~嘘!!!”
With a whistle, the game officially started. The 442 formation of Norwich team first controlled the ball in their own half. Although the momentum was not good, the ball control of their midfielders was still quite stable.
At least when Giroud and Walcott crossed the half to press, it did not have much impact on the opponent. Five minutes after the game began, Norwich crossed the half through the pass.
"The stable advance shifts the battlefield to the Arsenal half. Norwich's performance on the field is completely different from the dullness they had before the game. Midfielder Bennett constantly regulates the team's midfield."
At this moment, Arsenal had to put away the strong confidence brought to them by their fans and media publicity, and the opponent's stability quickly calmed down the players on the court.
They are a substitute lineup that cannot fail. No matter what, they cannot let their opponents score and score, the top priority is, and other offensive aspects are still possible to recover.
So, a magical scene appeared, and Walcott, who had been hovering with Giroud in the opponent's half, chose to return to defense. Arsenal's 442 formation directly turned into a 451 formation. The Gunners actually set up a bus formation at their home court.
"Arsenal was very cautious when starting to defend the whole line, and this change caught Norwich off guard."
Good guy, the coach Norwich didn't expect their opponent to do such a trick. Seeing his attack progressing in an orderly manner, he suddenly faced the bus or something. He really didn't expect that he would be facing the bus.
So, after another five minutes of pulling, Norwich was unable to complete the shot. Their offense could no longer continue after infiltrating the Gunners' arc top position in the penalty area.
"The joint interception of De Jong and Phil Jones, Arsenal has regained the ball, and their intensive defense has left the opponent helpless."
Chapter completed!
