On the second day after the lottery ceremony, all the teams participating in the lottery returned to their daily training. The hot discussions among fans were the hot discussions among fans. For the team, it is the right way to continue to concentrate on preparing for the upcoming events.

After all, after the draw, the game officially arrived in April, and the schedule for the entire month of March and 1st is set in front of major clubs.

In the new week, Arsenal once again started a one-week double-game schedule. They first had to go away to challenge Stoke City to compete in the latest round of the league, and then had to compete with Liverpool in a FA Cup decisive victory.

The heavyweights of these two games can be seen at a glance that the professor's training in the team is also very clear. Everyone has been taking continuous alternating rests in preparation for Stoke City, and all the important tactics targeted the targets were arranged as Liverpool.

The direct consequence of this is that the team only realized the main information of Stoke City this season the day before the league game.

This is a team that has started the relegation mode since the start of the league. They are now leading the relegation zone by 27 points with a 3-point advantage of just above the relegation zone.

In this case, the main style of playing of this team is naturally very easy to predict, which is the 451 bus tactic that wants to keep points.

Faced with this tactic, Arsenal has accumulated very sufficient experience this season, including long-range shooting, infiltration, and taking off from the wing. All kinds of methods have been arranged by the professor on this last day.

The players who have their own skills in their positions have performed very well. Although it is clear that the professor will probably still rotate in the game against Stoke City, no one has given up the hope of starting.

"We will play 4231 in tomorrow's game."

On the day of the announcement of the starting lineup, with the touch of the electronic pen in the professor's hand, a formation that was somewhat unexpected to the players appeared.

"Maple, single arrow."

The iron-killing Liu Feng is staged again. He is in good condition and is in good condition. As the team's single arrow, it is definitely enough.

"Three midfielders, Neymar, Ganso, James."

The three most popular young people in the Gunners' array are directly listed, and the professor seems to be indifferent to Stoke City.

"Two midfielders, Gustavo, Ramsey."

Both midfielders chose players with outstanding defensive skills. The professor immediately looked at the defenders. This time he still did not line up the team's most classic starting lineup.

"Alba, Vermalen, Koscheerny, Kavajal four defenders, goalkeeper Szczesny."

The reason for the rotation was that the professor received a report on the physical condition of the players provided by Benjamin. Because he used a defense line all year round, several main defenders had all kinds of bad calls. Now he was just right to let them take a break when his opponent was weak.

Subsequently, most of the main players who were not on the starting list entered the bench, so the sufficient bench players were enough to allow the professor to take various measures to deal with the team's various sudden pains.

On the right day, the game started at the Britannia Stadium, home court of Stoke City. The Stoke City team, who played at home, fully demonstrated their tactical purpose - to score points at the beginning.

"Stoke City set up a bus at its home court as soon as the game started. This is a very pragmatic way of playing. They have a clear understanding of their strength."

The tried and tested Stoke City players have been busing in front of many giant teams this season. They chose the right to kick off and turned their home court into a completely unsolvable super turtle shell at the beginning.

Arsenal's offense slowly unfolded, and they were ranked 4231 and their purpose in this game was not to penetrate the opponent's defense through fierce attacks. When the opponent was huddled, the Gunners' players played very steadily step by step.

Of course, this kind of stability also destined to not be too good for the game. The home fans in the stands are fine. They are full of their minds. The team must stay in the Premier League this season. As for how to achieve this goal, they don’t care about the team’s means.

However, the Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch this game in front of the TV could not stand it. When the two teams were still 0-0 after 45 minutes of the first half, no team showed any threats that might change the course of the game, many people directly chose to go back to sleep.

This is really not a wonderful game. Needless to say, Stoke City's bus tactics are all set up. Arsenal, which has a star-like starting lineup, did not play any exciting cooperation. The starting players' condition in this game was unexpectedly average.

Wenger on the sidelines was also a little helpless. After returning to the locker room during the halftime break, he talked with the players again to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm, but he knew very well that the game state was very metaphysical, and it was necessary to change it depends on the progress of the second half of the game.

However, less than ten minutes after the second half started, the struggling Stoke City took the lead in waiting for their chance.

It was an indirect free kick opportunity at a position. Gustavo directly tackled the opponent's forward who dribbled the ball in his midfield with his tough defense.

Then in this free kick opportunity, Stoke City midfielder Oden Wenjie kicked the ball out. Just when Arsenal defenders thought the ball would fly into the penalty area and compete for the top, the ball's landing point appeared in front of the penalty area.

"Arnautovic came to the ball, shot with a volley, and the world's goal!!!"

"Bang!"

At this moment, no Arsenal player appeared beside Arnautovic. The ball left his feet and directly drew a perfect line and flew into the Gunners' gate.

"The ball is in! It is in! It is in! In the 53 minutes of the game, Arnautovic broke the deadlock for Stoke City, 1-0! They led Arsenal at home."

"Boom!!! Oh oh oh ~"

In the stands, Stoke City fans cheered at this moment. What they most worry about is that they can't score a single goal. In this way, once the Gunners score a goal with their offense, the team will be completely finished.

Now, the bus tactics that lead by one goal are invincible, which is proven by countless teams with their own personal experience.

Above the court, the Stoke City players celebrated quite crazy.

Their opponents Arsenal players have already stood there with their waists and their faces helplessly. They will face a more severe situation in the future.
