Chapter 100 The Improper FA

Arsenal's big victory once again made countless fans feel the strength of their team. On the way Arsenal returned to London, countless gun fans were already celebrating on the streets and alleys of London.

Major media also quickly reported this game. It was unexpected that Alampadu and his team lost so badly. After all, Newcastle United's performance this season is not a weak team.

After this battle, it is unknown whether there are any mid-range teams in the entire Premier League that can cause trouble to Arsenal.

Arsenal players should have enjoyed their own vacation after this game, but unfortunately, the FA has squeezed out the determination of each team and some changes have changed. They are about to usher in the 20th round of the league on the first day of 2014.

Such operations have caused many players to start cursing. Not only the coaches of each team, but the captain of the 20 Premier League teams also launched a protest with the Players' Union.

From December 24 to January 1, in just nine days, the crazy English Football League arranged four league games for each team. This is no longer outrageous, and many teams have suffered a large number of injuries.

Professional football is already very strong, so it is obviously unreasonable to ignore the arrangements of the team and players for the sake of league popularity.

However, protests are protests, and the established event arrangements of the FA are to hold their heads and ignore them, but they will not change them.

There was no way, all the Premier League had to work overtime. After the 29th event, everyone started training.

As I said, fatigue is everyone's fatigue. If you are stuck in a league, you can only stand and talk after you get three points, otherwise it will be really uncomfortable.

Wenger also knew the physical condition of the players on the training ground. He was really unwilling to let the team continue to maintain the intensity of the previous training, so he had to take the previous operations and divide the team into first and second teams according to the state.

The players in the team are in good condition conduct normal training on the first team, while the players in the second team are led by the assistant coach for restorative training.

Then on the day before the game day, the last day of 2013, the team held a training match on the training ground, and the professor finally finalized the team's starting lineup for the first day of the new year.

"Maple, single arrow."

For the first time, the professor's home team formed a 4231 formation, which was his attempt outside of two starting lineups. Liu Feng, who has always maintained an excellent state, undoubtedly became the starter on the front line.

Then in the midfield starting behind him, the team's three offensive midfielders were Cassorla, Rosici and J Ronaldo from left to right, and the two midfielders were Ramsey and Gustavo.

Such a midfield layout is actually very strong, and the strength of several players is also absolutely powerful.

Therefore, even if the common combination of Wilshire and Ganso does not start, it still does not affect the Gunners' powerful strength.

In addition, on the back line, the professor directly adopted a full substitute lineup. Gibbs, Squillac, Koscheerniga Kavajal all started, while the goalkeeper was Fabianski.

The team's starting lineup in the 20th round was just Cardiff City, which was struggling to relegate. Although it has made some contribution to rotating all the defense lines, the professor believes that his players can handle all the problems.

Subsequently, some other main players who did not make the start also appeared on the substitute list. Once the team encounters disadvantages tomorrow's game, it will be time for their substitute to come on the bench to help the team change the direction of the game.

"We are waiting for the home court tomorrow's game, so we can rest early tonight. I don't want to see you all listlessly at the training base tomorrow morning!"

"I understand coach!"

With a wave of his hand, everyone disbanded on the spot, and the players quickly returned to their homes. The players who entered the starting list, especially the substitute players, all seized time to rest. They were raising their energy and had to seize this opportunity to give a performance that impressed the professor.

Early in the morning, when many fans were still immersed in the big sleep of the New Year's Day holiday, the entire Arsenal team gathered at the training base again.

The training intensity of the players in the last morning was not high. The professor just led everyone to review the team's new formation tactical system, and then quickly announced the end.

Everyone got a lot of rest time.

The city of London only started to get lively in the afternoon, especially in the streets near the Emirates Stadium. The lazy bar owners opened the door one by one, and the prepared beer and large screens were all lit up. Fans who brought their families to watch the ball during the holidays flocked in.

This may be an overtime task for major clubs and players, but for many fans, it is really an opportunity to enjoy the game.

Arsenal's bus drove into the Emirates Stadium two hours before the start of the game. The players opened the windows and greeted their fans. After feeling the support of the fans, everyone's morale became high.

As for the buses in Cardiff City, needless to say, when they arrived near the Emirates Stadium, the huge booed almost drown the team. Compared to their own small home court, the grandeur of Emirates Stadium also made them feel extremely oppressed.

Such a home atmosphere is really a dimensionality reduction blow to such a small team. The comparison between the two sides is very obvious when warming up.

"CCTV~CCTV..."

When the familiar opening remark sounded, both teams had already stood on the court. Liu Feng chose the kick-off right for the team. At this moment, he was standing in front of the serve point with J Ronaldo and staring at the ball.

The whistle sounded the next moment, and the ball was pushed out immediately, and the 2014 New Year's Day battle officially kicked off.

"Oh~, in this game, Arsenal set up a 451 formation like their opponent Cardiff City, and the professor also carried out a large-scale rotation. It seems that Wenger has transferred all the players in poor form to the bench to rest."

That being said, Arsenal's ball control after the game started was really amazing. With the continuous cooperation of the five midfielders, Cardiff City Month pressed the ball in half, the three-digit players who were pressing in the middle of the game could not touch the ball at all.

Moreover, since the visiting team also set up a 451 bus formation, it was impossible for them to come out to grab the ball in full swing. After the game started, Arsenal's continuous ball control lasted for five minutes.
