Chapter 391 Armory with 10 Feet of Confidence
Perhaps in the first round of the two sides' confrontation, the media will not put Notts County on the same level as Arsenal. Even if Notts County beat Manchester United and Chelsea, it is only a dark horse with full quality. In front of Arsenal, Notts County could not be strong at all. Even though Notts County was still ahead in the standings at that time, the hottesters could close the gap sooner or later, and then overtake them.
But now, not many people think so.
Obviously, even if you don't put Notts County on the same level as Arsenal, the difference is only the background, but in terms of strength, it is really hard to say that Notts County is weaker than Arsenal.
Since the beginning of the season, Notts County has shown a fearless attitude as a dark horse, leading all the way. Even when facing a few giants, they can use their iron hooves to step over.
Their dark horses have not faded, and in the confrontation with the giant teams, they have allowed them to show their best side.
In fact, it is no longer appropriate to call Notts County a dark horse now!
Who has seen a dark horse who has beaten several strong teams?
Who has seen a few dark horses who have to retreat to protect themselves when faced with him?
Who has ever seen a dark horse riding an unbeaten run in the standings in the first half of the league?
Sorry, Notts County did it, all the Premier League teams have seen it!
It is true that there are still many fans who believe that Arsenal can still overtake Notts County in the following leagues and finally win the Premier League championship, but in the eyes of fans who really care about the Premier League, Notts County, which has been defeated by a strong enemy, has given birth. With an unrivaled temperament, this temperament is the same as that of a wealthy team, which is daunting. Even Arsenal, if they want to overtake Notts County this season, can only hope for luck.

The two clubs do not have any special grudges and historical entanglements in essence, and there have only been three direct confrontations in the last three seasons. However, because of the current positions of the two teams, the reporters still gave this game the title. different definitions.
First of all, not to mention anything else, just the grievances between the Magpies and the Gunners in the first round of this season's confrontation is enough to make everyone hype.
Arsenal won a draw with a conservative attitude, and the biggest contributor to the draw was not Arsenal's tenacious defense, but Henry's diving. What an irony!
The three-pointer won by Notts County was jumped away by Henry diving,
Arsenal thus avoided being left farther and farther in the standings. Even though the outside world was full of criticism, Arsenal were still very fortunate.
Even when both the FA and the referee committee have admitted that the penalty was misjudged, Arsenal still insisted that the draw was what they deserved. This may be a guilty conscience!
Even though the FA has promised Notts County a lot of benefits, Notts County still feels that they should give them a most thorough lesson for Arsenal, which is a dead duck, so that they can deeply recognize their mistakes and repent for them.
This alone is enough for the media to exaggerate for a long time before the game. Among them, Henry and Carvalho have been named the most popular front-back confrontation in the Premier League this season.
Needless to say, Henry, the world's top super striker, every club is willing to spend their money to get him.
Although Carvalho was not well-known in the Portuguese Super League era, he has gradually grown into a top central defender in Notts County. His leading Notts County defense has become the defense that has conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League this season, and has entered the Premier League best team. It is a sure thing, not only that, Carvalho has also become a figure of Dinghaishenzhen in the Portuguese national team. With him in the rear, the offensive team in the frontcourt dares to fully attack.
Henry cheated a penalty on Carvalho. Carvalho was really able to swallow his breath. The confrontation between the two in this game has become one of the most watched places in this game. Is Henry defending his super striker? The glory of the title, or Carvalho's shame and success in revenge, this topic has really attracted the attention of many people.
The most curious thing is, will Arsenal, who can play in the entire main lineup, still adopt the same conservative tactics as the first round to face Notts County?
Whether Manchester United or Liverpool faced Notts County, they had put down the pride of the giants, played a pragmatic defensive counterattack, and achieved good results, if Notts County was lucky to get a penalty kick in stoppage time , I'm afraid Notts County is about to draw in a row with Manchester United and Liverpool.
In the first round, Arsenal had to take the initiative to withdraw due to the lack of a major general, but can Arsenal show the courage of the giants to fight against Notts County in this game?
If Arsenal still adopts conservative tactics, it means that Arsenal has admitted that in terms of real strength, Arsenal can no longer compete with Notts County head-on, which is absolutely impossible for Arsenal to admit, so everyone generally Prediction, this game Arsenal is going to fight.
At the press conference before the game, Wenger's rare tone was very tough. Facing the reporters' questions, he was rarely outspoken and confident.
"Yes, Notts County is strong. This may be the consensus of everyone, but don't forget that Arsenal is the real hegemon of the Premier League. Maybe the arsenal has closed its eyes and snorted, but when we open our eyes, we will not despise any one When it comes to opponents, we are the most powerful presence in the Premier League, and we will tell Notts County in the game who is the real king!"
It's no wonder Wenger has the confidence. After a week's rest, Arsenal's state has recovered well, and the main players can also play. In his opinion, Arsenal's main lineup is definitely one of the top lineups in world football. Can compete with any giant club.
Vieira is still the world's No. 1 midfielder, plus Bergkamp is in the middle and frontcourt, and the simultaneous appearance of Pires and Ljungberg can also allow Arsenal to achieve real wingspan. This is Arsenal and Ljungberg. The biggest difference in the first round.
"The runner-up is definitely the most suitable compliment for newly promoted horses. The miracle of Kaiserslautern is not able to breed in every piece of land. When this game is over, everyone will be delighted to discover that the Premier League still has There is one club left unbeaten, that is our Arsenal, we will create a miracle of winning the championship unbeaten for a season, and after countless years, everyone will still worship this record!"
