When the game against Crystal Palace ended, all Arsenal members had only one feeling, that was, they were not satisfied.

There is no way, the second half of this game is like playing house. Although Arsenal also wants to play a crazy attack with great pleasure, he gave up considering his opponent's performance like a hedgehog.

Then this also has its benefits. For example, several absolute core members of the team were replaced by professors early in the second half, and they had another wave of time to regain their energy.

When the team reappeared on the training ground after a day off, the team had almost no physical problems, and it was even less like they had just mentioned a league game.

This makes it much easier for the professor to set up the upcoming League Cup semi-finals, because he only needs to choose the regular main players in the best form.

"Bordosky, Maple Double Forward."

Facing the Black Cats who were defeated in the League Cup and eliminated Southampton and Manchester United one after another, the professor did not continue to form a 433 formation, and he chose a 442 formation that can be attacked and defended.

With Bordosky as the center, Liu Feng's offensive autonomy was greatly liberated. In the position of the Shadow Front, he was able to bring more help to the Gunners' offense.

"Four midfielders, Neymar, Wilshire, Ganso, Walcott."

Neymar continued to start, Ramsey took the bench, and the Tigers, who were diligent in training, defeated J Ronaldo and William as the team's right forward.

Such a midfield layout is very balanced. Break through the left and right sides quickly and attack and defend in the middle. It can be suitable for any tactical adjustments that Wenger wants to make.

In terms of four defenders, Alba, Mertesack, Vermullen and Alves' strongest defense line once again played. Two defenders who were on the bench on the league have won the professor's trust in the past few days of training.

As for the goalkeeper, because it was the League Cup, the professor waved his hand and appeared in another goal position.

It has been a long time since he took office as a goal. Fabiansky has gradually become accustomed to this reality. All he can do is to perform best in every game he plays, and the rest can only be seen by the sky.

Such a starting lineup can be said to be a luxurious configuration for all the main players. The professor believes that it is enough for Sunderland team.

However, after the lineup was announced, he still spent some time explaining the possible problems the team encountered and the tactical characteristics of the Sunderland team.

Soon, the next day, Arsenal took a bus early in the morning to the Light Stadium in Sunderland, where the Black Cats' home venue is located.

Many Arsenal fans who were unable to go to watch the game on site came to the streets to promote their team. The Gunners could hear their fans shouting until they left London City.

When they appeared near the Stadium of Light, everything was completely different. The booed by Sunderland fans shocked the players' ears and everyone had to wear headphones.

Because of Arsenal's sweeps for several consecutive seasons, more and more teams have taken pride in defeating Arsenal. Haven't you seen Aston Villa at the beginning of this season still been reported by some media.

In addition, playing exciting operations in the game against Arsenal is also a very good way to promote your own team. Whether it is the attention of fans or the value of players, it will increase considerably.

Therefore, nowadays, except for some bad teams, many teams are very active and proactive when meeting Arsenal.

For example, Sunderland, who just eliminated Manchester United in the League Cup, has already performed very well in the League Cup this season. Now they still have two rounds of encounters with Arsenal. Both their fans and players want to show their strength.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner. The Gunners drove into the Light Stadium and got off to the locker room, then walked into the Stadium to warm up.

They were used to the away booing and had no feelings for the interference of Black Cats fans, and after the warm-up, they entered the locker room again.

"We will have a two-round showdown with them. I think you are also very clear about your schedule. If there is hope for them in the first round, we will have to deal with it carefully in the next round."

After briefly retelling his tactics, the professor began to talk about other factors: "In this game, you should do your best to determine your advantages, and it is best to succeed in one battle!"

"clear!!!"

There is no longer any words that must be won. Victory is just a prerequisite. This is the professor's requirement for his disciples. In the face of a team like Sunderland, they must win, and they must win simply.

"Okay, spectators, the two teams have followed behind the referee team and entered the court."

As the picture changed, the two sides had already appeared. Arsenal captain Liu Feng and Sunderland captain Cartermore came to the referee to shake hands and signal, and then decided on the ownership of the kick-off and the right to play.

"Oh~ The home team Sunderland chose the kick-off right. Cartermore came to the kick-off point with the ball. Sunderland's two forwards Fletcher and Artidore have already stood up."

Both sides quickly decided, and both teams lined up in this game with 442 formations.

“嘘~嘘!!!”

With a whistle, the game officially opened and the ball was driven towards Sunderland's halftime, and their four midfielders quickly began to control the ball.

"Sunderland's kick-off was very steady, and they did not move forward rashly. It seems that Arsenal's blitz against Crystal Palace in the last game still had a certain impact."

The game was not so tense at the beginning, and Arsenal did not attack rashly when his opponent controlled the ball stably.

As a result, the two commentators also had time to announce the start of both sides. Needless to say, Liu Jianhong quickly read out all of them, followed by Zhan Jun and the start of Sunderland team.

"In addition to the two forwards, Artidore and Fletcher, the four midfielders are Jakelini, Cartermore, Sebastian Larson, and South Korean midfielder Ji Chengyong."

Now among the major teams in the Premier League, there are many players from Japan and South Korea, but overall they are in mid- and lower-level teams.

"Four defenders Serustka, Dorcena, Osheim and Brown, goalkeeper Manone."

The lineup that is not star-studded has solid basic skills and abilities. After all, this is the starting lineup that Sunderland adopted when eliminating Manchester United.

On the court, when the starting introduction of both sides ended, the game also passed the beginning of the test period. Arsenal began to push forward and press, and the showdown between the two sides officially kicked off.
Chapter completed!
