The end of a league round is often the beginning of another league round. No team members can get the opportunity to relax during the season, and Arsenal is the same.

Not to mention that after the game against Newcastle United, Arsenal has another game to play before the next round of the league.

The English League Cup is one of the three most important events in the Premier League. Arsenal, a team participating in European competitions in the Premier League, is finally about to start their journey in this event.

In fact, in the past, few teams would encounter stronger opponents in the third round. In the case of a decisive victory or defeat, teams that can participate in European competitions often win easily.

However, this time, it was a little different.

Because according to the draw, the team Arsenal will face in the third lap of the League Cup is nothing else, they are the city rivals they have been entangled with for many years - Tottenham Hotspur.

It was a team that was in North London with them, and had been competing with each other for many years because of the competition for fans and the market.

Speaking of Tottenham, there is no need to say anything more to Arsenal fans, the word "dry" is enough.

Just do it, fight the opponent and spend San Tottenham Day. This is the biggest vision of Arsenal fans every season and the biggest goal of Arsenal every season.

It doesn't matter if the team is different from other teams, it doesn't matter if the team doesn't have a championship this season. As long as you can press Spurs hard, it's enough. This is what many diehard fans think.

Similarly, many fans of Tottenham have this idea.

Even in recent years, due to the gap in overall strength between the two sides, Tottenham fans have long been vague about the team's record. The day they look forward to most in every season is the derby with Arsenal.

Now, the draw in the League Cup has allowed them to get the first chance to play against Arsenal at home before the league arrives, which is undoubtedly very exciting.

From the days before the game arrived, you can see many fans wearing Tottenham jerseys outside the White Hart Lane stadium excitedly discussing together.

As for London media, they have long begun to unscrupulously promote various tit-for-tat remarks of the two teams.

Tottenham coach Harry Redknapp was the first to express his optimism about the team and his confidence in winning the derby in front of the media: "Newcastle United has proved everything, and we are bound to win this derby."

Tottenham fans naturally supported this coach who led the team to the fourth place in the league last season and won the Premier League best coach honors in the 2009-2010 season.

"Prepare for the second failure."

This is a post maliciously pushed by Tottenham fans in the foreign network Arsenal forum.

“Fu!”

This is Arsenal fans' shot back simply.

For a time, in major British media, Tottenham fans and Gunner fans fought one after another, and some people even cursed and were banned from their accounts.

At the same time, there are also many patrolmen on the streets of London than in the past. You should know that there are many more football hooligans in England than in other leagues.

Regarding the noise from the outside world, Wenger did not block the players from receiving media information this time because he felt that the atmosphere of teams in games like Derby should be different.

This old coach who has been with Arsenal for more than ten years has a stronger sense of identity with the team than any player. When the derby with Tottenham came, he was unwilling to continue to be a gentle gentleman.

"Run! Run! Do you want to be rubbed by them on the ground!!!"

On the training ground, Wenger has been transforming into a devil coach these days. After losing the game against Magpie, his requirements for the players have reached an almost harsh level.

Fortunately, the Gunners' players were not incompetent. They were ashamed and brave as they came to the scene with the coach and the derby.

New players like Liu Feng have gradually entered the derby state under the leadership of many Gunner youth training players from the team.

Maybe they don't have that strong sense of identity with the Gunners, but they know very well that no matter what the game is, they must not lose.

Against this background, Arsenal's training was a desperate attempt. Every day, the players left the training ground in sweat, and every day they came to the court in full shape.

Soon, the day of the competition came.

On this day, as if he had ignored the league that would arrive three days after the battle with Tottenham, Wenger had all the elite teams in the rankings.

"Feng, Bentner, Al Shavin three forwards, Wilshire, Fabregas, Nasri three midfielders, our formation is 433."

Facing his mortal enemy in the city, he could not admit defeat in terms of layout. Wenger was determined to use the team's beautiful football to defeat the opponent and quickly made the start of this game.

"Krish, Vermalen, Koscheerny, Sarnia, four of them form the back line, and Fabianski serves as goalkeeper."

With a wave of his hand, the professor continued to speak without waiting for the generals to respond.

“Tomorrow’s game is the most unlossable game we have throughout the season. I hope you all can do your best and our fans will support us without reservation everywhere.”

"clear!"

"Very good, disband now."

The atmosphere among the Gunners has reached a certain point. After Wenger walked out of the conference room, everyone walked towards the parking lot with a chat and a laugh.

"Feng, you must perform well in tomorrow's game."

The injury has recovered almost the same, but Walcott, who has not reached the standard of playing, has come to Liu Feng and shows an earnest look: "The fans are waiting for you to kill all directions."

"Haha, OK, don't worry."

When he was with Little Tiger and Wilshire, Liu Feng could always find the feeling of getting along with Scarpelli, Cassia and others. As young people, everyone talked very casually.

After saying goodbye to his teammates, Liu Feng also returned home directly.

He sent Yuan Xiao the electronic certificate for the League Cup season tickets, and he went to bed very early.

That night, London's night was extremely quiet, but the completely different red and white tones that were already tied in the two districts of North London gave the city a storm atmosphere.

The next day, the morning light was dim, and Liu Feng woke up from his sleep. After leaving home, he felt the crazy scene in North London.

“Oner, always a gunner!”

This is a banner that sends off the team to the Emirates Stadium, and under the banner are countless pairs of expectant eyes.
