Chapter 107 Time for revenge

When Liu Feng finally got free from his busy schedule to win the Golden Globe Award, it was already three days later. He participated in many programs and signed new endorsement contracts before returning to London.

After returning to London City, Liu Feng did not forget his most basic responsibilities as a player. After simply saying hello to Ruo'an, he signaled that the second half of the season would begin, he put his focus back on football.

The start of the second half of the season is not difficult but very meaningful. They will go to the away game to challenge Aston Villa in the 21st round of the league.

That's right, it was in the opening game of this season that he defeated Arsenal's Aston Villa directly at the Emirates Stadium. Now this team ranks 11th in the Premier League and is in the middle.

But because their achievements in defeating the Gunners were so conspicuous, there are still many media reporters paying attention to this team.

Now, when Arsenal is invincible again, they are once again appearing in Arsenal's opponent, not to mention this time it is still at their own home court.

For a time, many Villa's fans were in high spirits. They proudly recalled the team's game against Arsenal and showed strong expectations for the team to defeat their opponents again.

Villa's coach Paul Lambert also performed quite positively in an interview with reporters. The coach obviously believes that the team has found the correct password to defeat Arsenal.

"We have never been so in-depth about Arsenal. This time we play against them at home, I will fully demonstrate this achievement with my players."

Good guy, Wenger, who was far away in London, couldn't sit still after hearing such reports. He really didn't meet any opponent who showed such confidence after winning just one game of his own. In order to protect the team, he didn't speak politely.

"No one can find the password to beat us. We have already achieved nineteen unbeaten games in the league. Now facing Villa again, I think it's time to understand our previous grudges."

One of them vowed to complete the double kill, and calmly announced in the face of the camera that he would win back the dignity of his first defeat at the opponent's home court. Such a dialogue is naturally full of gunpowder, so the reporters and media naturally cannot let it go.

In the following few days before the game, fans of both sides began to fight across the air under various reports, from the strength of the players to the team's tactical arrangements, all of which were targeted.

In the end, the main arguments of Villa fans and Gunners fans are very clear.

On the one hand, although I know that my overall strength is incomparable to Arsenal, the team's tactics and key players' control can kill the opponents, so I firmly believe that the team can win.

On the one hand, there is the three consecutive Golden Ball Awards that Arsenal had just been born to Super Maple, and the team's best teams of 2013 cannot find a reason to lose from any point.

The two sides argued endlessly, obviously there would be no clear answer before the game ended.

Time flies, and soon the day before the game day came. The professor summoned all the players in the team's locker room again. He was very satisfied with watching the players who had regained their spirits after a holiday.

"We will play 442 in tomorrow's game."

On the away game, he still defeated his opponents by targeting and tactical restrictions. Although the professor showed a lot of confidence in the interview, he was still very cautious in the actual arrangement.

From the front line to the back line, his approach to dealing with his opponents is simple to study every starter of his last season, that is, to take a half-rotation.

"Two forwards Giroud, Maple."

It is still the most stable choice in forward partnerships. The easy-to-use Dajirou and Liu Feng, who just won the golden ball, are the best partners when they are two forwards.

"Four midfielders, Neymar, Caszorla, Rosici, James."

Sure enough, Gansu, who was restricted by his opponent in the first half of the match, did not appear, and replaced by Rosici, who has become a regular substitute this season.

As for Neymar, it is because his opponents are thoroughly researched but still cannot defend themselves. Cassora and J Roze are purely two of them. The current roles in the team are often the same as surprises, and it is difficult for Villa to make detailed research on them.

Such a midfield layout is obviously that Wenger no longer wants to control the ball and live in the shadow of his opponent's defense. He needs the team to take the initiative with new tacit cooperation.

Yes, the team can indeed set up a bus lineup with its strength in comprehensive abilities to confront Villa. In this dull battle, Arsenal team with stronger offensive capabilities can definitely gain the upper hand.

But the professor is not just to win, he has to let people see the changes in Arsenal and give up targeted tactical development for a lineup.

There is no such a specialty in the four defenders. Wenger directly arranged the team's strongest back line. The combination of Alba, Mertesack, Vermullen and Alves is simple and direct, and you don't have to worry too much when facing any opponent.

The starting goalkeeper is still the team's goalkeeper Szczesni, and his current state still leaves Fabianski with no chance.

"In tomorrow's game, we not only want to win, but also win beautifully and excitingly. Don't forget the shame of losing at home in the season opener. Now, it's time for us to double the shame back to them!"

"clear!"

After the roster was announced, the professor waved his fists at the players again. He didn't want to hear Lambert's arrogant speech again. In this game, he had to let the other party know what the gap is.

The players responded loudly one by one. Needless to say, they naturally recalled the extremely unexpected defeat at the beginning of the season. Now, after waiting, it is finally time for revenge.

That night, the entire Arsenal team dispersed, and both the players and the coaching staff members went to bed very early.

The next day, the refreshed Arsenal team set off from the training base and bid farewell to their fans and drove out of London City. They will head to Birmingham, where Aston Villa is located. The journey is not too short.

The road was bumpy, and when Liu Feng, wearing eye masks and headphones, woke up by the noise outside the window, the flags of Aston Villa were already everywhere outside the window.

Outside the bus window, the surging booing and various rough gestures were unsightly, and a huge banner even wrote the name of Gunner Killer.
