Three Hundred and Seventieth Chapters Hit the Cotton
? In the draw of the League Cup round of 16 knockout, an unsung result appeared. Notts County, the English league leader, and Arsenal, the English giants, were drawn together. In the eyes of many people, this is simply A preview of the league title race!
In the past two seasons, Notts County faced Arsenal twice in the domestic cup, both eliminated the Gunners and finally won the trophy, and this time, it is Arsenal's revenge battle. ? ?
Arsenal fans are very happy, and although it is not too long before the league after Christmas, they are still very excited to see the team beat Notts County one day earlier.
The league is a big meal, this League Cup is an appetizer, but if it's really delicious, then they don't mind eating more.
Arsenal fans are running to tell each other, as if this League Cup eliminated Arsenal can make Notts County fall into the abyss, Arsenal can regain the status of the king!
The fans are full of expectations for the team, but this kind of expectation makes Arsenal a bit unbearable.
Arsenal are faced with the dual tasks of the league and the Champions League. Even if the Champions League has become a single round of virtual games due to the restructuring and has played four fewer games, if they want to make a difference on both sides, Arsenal still needs to put in a huge amount of energy. In this case, the League Cup and the FA Cup, two domestic cups that are less important, must be taken into consideration.
In the case of such a dense schedule, it is still worth it to play domestic cups, even if you finally win the championship, is it worth it?
Moreover, there is still a great possibility that even if you play hard and play hard, you may not be able to win the championship.
It's like the League Cup round of 16 knockout game against Notts County. There are still two weeks before the league after Christmas. If the team is given a good rest during these two weeks, will the effect be equivalent to a type of winter break? period?
Originally, Wenger really planned to give the players a good rest for a Christmas, and at the same time to reserve their physical fitness for the second half of the season, but now the attitude of the fans really makes Wenger feel very embarrassed.
Abandoning the game is naturally the best ulcer. The problem is that the fans don't do it. They have so much hope for the team and are looking forward to Arsenal's victory over Notts County to justify their name. How can they tolerate the team running away without a fight? ?
It's so confusing!
The media are constantly fanning the flames, hoping to see the battle of the heavens and the earth, and the constant warm-up. When there is no game, this battle is a gift for the fans before Christmas!
Wenger had no choice but to be forced by the pressure of the fans in the end.
They sent a majority of their main lineup to the knockout stage of the League Cup, and after the game, they had less than a week for the players to rest and adjust.
Well, since most of the main players have been dispatched, the team must strive to win, so facing Notts County, he must be fully prepared. He does not think that the current Notts County is inferior to Arsenal. satisfied.
After intensive preparations for a week, Wenger got along with several tactics to compete with Notts County. Although there is still no certainty of victory, it is better than doing nothing and directly punishing the guest to death!
Arsenal came to the away game a day early. At the pre-match press conference, Wenger vowed that Arsenal would go all out to win this game, and be ashamed of losing to Notts County in the previous two seasons. I believe that the promotion must be Arsenal. Arsenal.
After Wenger finished speaking, he thought that Loew would be tit for tat and rhetoric. Unexpectedly, Loew actually said in a low-key manner that Notts County came to the game with a learning mentality. Wenger felt a bad feeling in his heart. idea.
Sure enough, but before the game, when the two oblique Wengers got the list of Notts County for this game, they slammed into the wall with one punch.
Mad, you've been tricked!
It's no wonder Wenger is so furious. Arsenal worked hard to prepare for a week, and even gave up most of the time for the players to rest and adjust, just to beat Notts County in this game for the enthusiastic fans. an account.
Now, looking at the list of Notts County, there is no doubt that Arsenal will defeat Notts County without any suspense.
Take a look at Notts County's list, Ramos, Harvey Martons, Joe Hart, only these three players are familiar, know that they are young players from Notts County's youth academy, and other names, Wenger doesn't know a single one.
Apparently, Notts County got their reserves out to play again!
Nima's!
Wenger feels like the biggest SB in the world.
I was forced to pay attention, but in the end, my opponent didn't take it seriously at all. The efforts of myself and the players were completely wasted, and no value was created.
It was really hard to hit the cotton with a punch, and it hurt myself.
In fact, Notts County is far less entangled than Wenger. Perhaps it is because of Notts County's two years of performance. I don't even look down on such a tasteless competition as the League Cup.
Don't look at their rivals Arsenal, they were eliminated by Notts County in the first two seasons. What's the fuss? They are still 6 points behind Notts County in the standings, and it's just after Christmas. It is a direct confrontation between the two teams in the league. Why not leave the big meal for the end!
So Notts County fans gave the club no pressure at all.
Loew directly gave the first team a holiday. Although the team is currently in good shape, after all, it has experienced certain injuries and the influence of FIFA's international competition day. Being able to give the players a little more rest time will definitely help the second half of the season. Shocks create more favorable conditions.
As for the League Cup that punishes Arsenal, several youth training players who usually don't have many hoeing clubs will definitely be punished, and the rest will naturally be made up by the reserve players.
Anyway, it's a game that you don't intend to win, and it doesn't matter how many times you lose. Even if Arsenal scores a double-digit score, Loew won't care.
Moreover, Loew is not without his own mind. Although the strength of these reserve team players is definitely not Arsenal's opponents, they can play in this kind of competition. Which player can't do his best?
He knows all the scumbags in the reserve team. If the football is dirty, it can cause some trouble for Arsenal. It is even possible to get a few directly from the field. (To be continued.)
