Chapter 113 Carol's big heart
In the afternoon of the same day, Arsenal, who had already completely rested at the training base, took the lead in entering the Emirates Stadium under the leadership of Wenger.
Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of fans, the Gunners' players warmed up quite slowly, and the players performed little by little on the court, providing relief for fans who entered the court in advance.
It was not until Newcastle United players wearing black and white lined uniforms stepped into the stadium that everything was on the right track.
"Shh~~~Shh~~~"
Due to the verbal battle on the Internet before the game, Arsenal fans have no good feelings for the Magpies players, and they began to boo as soon as the opponent entered the court.
Among them, Andrew Carroll booed the most, and the striker, who played a major role in the Magpie's promotion to the Super League last season, was bathed in the inverted sound of opponents' fans like huge waves.
I have to say that as the team's leading striker, Carol's heart is also quite big. With the voices of nearly 50,000 people, he simply took out his ears and then continued to train as if nothing had happened.
The powerless Gunners fans had to finally start shifting their combat goals to thousands of Magpies fans on the visiting team.
“嘘!嘘!嘘!”
"Roar~~~"
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
In this extremely noisy sound, CCTV finally cut out the signal of the game, and Zhan Jun's voice also appeared in the ears of the fans surrounding the TV with the scene of the game.
"Good evening, everyone, welcome to watch the 11th round of the 2010-2011 Premier League season. Arsenal's home match against Newcastle United. I am your old friend Zhan Jun."
As soon as the familiar voice sounded, it was not too late to start the game, and everyone's attention was concentrated.
"You can see that the two teams have finished their warm-ups and returned to the locker room one after another."
Before the game began, Zhan Jun began to warm up the fans as usual.
"If this game is only ranked by the two teams, you may think it is just an ordinary game, but if you know Newcastle United's magical experience, you may not think so..."
Zhang Mouth is full of things. Zhan Jun then shared with the fans the magical story of the Magpie from being tragically relegated to five rounds ahead of the Super League, and then talked about their seamless performance this season.
"Although it may not have the amazing performance of Piacenza, as a newly promoted team, Newcastle United has shown strength this season that is not inferior to other mid-level teams. In fact, they are more motivated than other teams."
This general effect is very obvious. Some fans who only learned about the recent Magpies based on sporadic knowledge before the game have gradually taken seriously this team.
"Just in the last round, they just staged a 5-1 Black Cat show at home. You should know that Sunderland is not a weak team in the Premier League. They are now ranked seventh in the league."
Seeing that the two teams had already followed the referee into the stadium, Zhan Jun quickly ended the topic: "As for what their game will look like, let's look forward to the game that will be coming soon!"
"Roar!Roar!Roar!"
When the camera pulled closer to the court, the two teams that had already spread out seemed extremely calm in the loud noise.
"Shh!"
A whistle cut through the sky, and Newcastle United, which chose the kick-off, took the lead in getting the ball.
"Andrew Carroll pushed the ball to his teammate Ameobi. In this game, Newcastle United set up a 442 formation. The ball was given to Tiot's feet, and the Magpies' players began to spread out quickly."
For Newcastle United, which focuses on defensive counterattacks, choosing the ball means choosing the offensive and defensive initiative. They who are good at defense start to play steadily while controlling the ball.
"A Feng and Chamak have crossed the half and they have begun to interfere with their opponent's pass control on the front line, but the effect is quite average."
At the beginning of the game, the Arsenal players who had been explained in detail by Wenger were also very conservative, not to mention that everyone is not in good condition, and they are more likely to get into the rhythm as they are like their opponents.
For a moment, after Wilshire and Nasri also crossed the half and started participating in the symbolic pressing with Liu Feng, the situation began to become quite dull.
"Both sides played very conservatively. Gutierrez and Tiot continued to organize the team's pass, and they stabilized the ball control area near the center circle."
Zhan Jun had nothing to say for a moment, and immediately began to introduce the main players of the Magpie game.
"In addition to the two players in the middle, two Newcastle United wingers Joey Patton and Kevin Nolan are also constantly involved in the possession, and their possession is roughly carried out backwards."
Such ball control will naturally not create any wonderful scenes. It was not until the seventh minute of the game that Wilhel and Liu Feng were attacked by the wings, which was the first time that the opponent's ball was cut off.
However, Joey Patton, who lost the ball, turned around and fought back, and the joint siege between Gutierrez and full-back Enrique in the middle did not allow the Gunners' quick attack to attack this time.
After taking a distance and finding that he was already in the encirclement, Liu Feng decisively passed the ball to Xiaofa's feet with a cross.
Xiaofa, who controlled the ball, performed very cautiously when the players were not in good positions. Without forwarding the ball at the first time, he chose to pass the ball back to the left-behind Alexander Song.
Arsenal's ball control level is definitely very high. Compared with Newcastle United, the Gunners' midfielders are the ones that the Magpies' forwards can't even touch their hair.
In the fifteenth minute of the game, the Assen midfield line, who had passed the whole way, had already passed the half.
Although the tactics arranged by Wenger did not require the players to continue to push forward, the opponent's continuous retreat and retracting style ultimately led to this result.
"Arsenal's chance to control the ball, Chamak and Liu Feng attracted a lot of firepower in the middle, while Nasri and Wilshire have already penetrated diagonally."
Watching the Gunners' attack, Zhan Jun realized that maybe the first offensive attempt in this game was coming, so he couldn't help but raise his voice.
"Xiao Fa got the ball again and passed it directly from the middle. Chamake took the ball with him and A Feng got the ball!"
This was an adventure attempt, but it was quite successful. At least when Liu Feng got the ball and split it out again, Newcastle United's midfield defense was never expected.
"Wilhill received the ball and went down from the wing. Arsenal's chance has come!"
Chapter completed!
