Chapter 800: A Surprising First Start

November 23, Emirates Stadium.

Half an hour before the start of the game, the stands were already full, and the Manchester United players below were absent-mindedly warming up, turning their heads from time to time to watch the performance of the Gunners fans on the stage.

In the other half, the Arsenal players were warming up silently, all with their heads down. Sanchez, who only came this season, looked around curiously.

"Thank you Wenger, but it's time to say goodbye!"

"For the sake of Arsenal, please leave."

This kind of slogan is quite mild, more slogans naked/naked/naked express the anger of the fans... Hey, this season Wenger has made considerable tactical changes for his record, although the defense did not attract attention. Support, but tactically leans more towards defense.

This is the key to Arsenal's ability to draw with Manchester City, but fans who have been accustomed to watching the Gunners' wonderful attacks like mercury pouring down the ground for more than ten years are very dissatisfied.

What makes the fans even more dissatisfied is that although Arsenal did not concede many goals, they only accumulated 17 points in 11 rounds, 14 points away from the top Manchester United. This loss is exactly double!

The duo between Arsenal and Manchester United was a scene in the Premier League. In the past few seasons, the two teams have fallen one after another, and the fans are sad and disappointed. But since last season, the mood of the fans of the two teams has changed drastically.

The Gunners fans can only think so... It was agreed to fall together, but you guys are secretly working hard!

When Manchester United visited the Emirates Stadium with a 14-point lead, the Gunners fans were generous this time... rented three planes and flew over the stadium with banners in succession. What is written on the banners is actually what most people say Can't see clearly, but everyone knows...

"Yang, be careful today." Sun Wu whispered to Professor Yang, "That Spanish right back is very fast."

"Smaller assist range?" Ashley Young asked. Now he and Sun Wu are getting closer, and the implementation of his tactical details is also very strong.

Sun Wu hesitated for a moment, and glanced at the young boy opposite. Sun Wu had never been in contact with Bellerin in La Masia, but he is now famous in the Premier League.

According to the "Metro" in London, Bellerin's 40-meter sprint speed is faster than that of Usain Bolt... Sun Wu really doesn't believe it, it's too bragging!

"No need." Sun Wu pursed his lips, "But if there is a gap on this side, pay attention to his back row plugging in and directly wipe it with speed."

previous life,

Bellerin started a steal at high speed in the backcourt against Bayern Munich, all the way into the penalty area and assisted Ozil to score. This goal impressed Sun Wu deeply.

After the warm-up was over, players from the two teams walked towards the player tunnel in twos and threes. Sun Wu was thinking about Wenger's starting lineup for today, when suddenly Sanchez came over.

"Best, don't make small moves in this game."

"Is that how you look at me?" Sun Wu snorted, "Your legs are not weak!"

"You'll know later!" Sanchez said with a smile: "Hazard said, beat you, he treats you."

Sanchez and Hazard were the golden wings of Tottenham Hotspur two years ago, and their personal relationship is very good.

Sun Wu snorted, "Using the words of The Sun, you've been drained!"

Just this morning, the media reported that Sanchez's recent poor state was due to excessive indulgence, and also posted a photo of Sanchez's girlfriend, a blonde with a hot body.

"You know that's what the reporter from The Sun said!" Sanchez curled his lips. "They even spread rumors that you and Josep had a fight in the office!"

Sun Wu didn't have anything to say... "The Sun"'s ability to spread rumors from nothing is too strong, and it dares to say anything.

After the disintegration of that Tottenham team, Sun Wu kept in touch with most of his friends, such as Walker, Rose, Modric, Hazard, Harvey Martinez and Vertonghen, but he had very little contact with Sanchez.

That summer, Sun Wu persuaded Sanchez not to go to Barcelona... well, after just one season, the Chilean returned to the Premier League.

After the acquisition of Di Maria fell into a stalemate, San Dezi once had the idea of ​​Sanchez, but the latter and Arsenal have both negotiated and are about to sign.

The two walked to the intersection in a little embarrassment, looked at each other and smiled before turning and walking into their respective dressing rooms.

...

"This is the highlight of the 12th round of the Premier League. Manchester United is away to Arsenal."

Zhan Jun made pre-match comments in the live broadcast room. Today he fought alone. Zhang Lu is too old to stay up late every week.

"This is also the last game of this round. Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool have all scored 3 points, and Liverpool will temporarily narrow the gap with Manchester United to 2 points."

"Let's look at the starting lineups of both sides, Manchester United's defense is a bit of a surprise, De Gea is in goal, the defense line Valencia, Alderweireld, Phil Jones, Rojo, originally in the starting lineup Ashley Young was injured in the warm-up and Rojo came on as a substitute."

"The midfielders are Herrera, Schneiderlin and Sun Wu. The front trident is Thomas Muller, Griezmann and Mane, who completed four goals in the last round. Lukaku, who has returned from injury, is temporarily on the bench. at the table."

"Arsenal here, goalkeeper Szczesny, defense Chambers and Koscielny, Mertesacker on the bench, Vermaelen is injured again."

The midfielder used the double midfielder combination of Arteta and Coquelin. It is a bit surprising that Wilshere, who has been performing well before this season, sat on the bench, and the remaining seat in the midfield belongs to Yaya Toure, who scored more than 20 league goals last season. "

"The front line of attack is Ozil and Sanchez separated on the two wings, and Giroud is at the front. Of course, the actual position needs to be observed during the game." Zhan Jun said with great interest: "The key lies in Yaya. Toure's position is forward from the point of view of the formation, but he has a strong defensive ability, and even played as a central defender for half a season in Barcelona."

"On the other hand, the key is whether the double midfielder combination sent by Wenger can restrain Sun Wu's performance. This lineup appeared in Arsenal's game against Manchester City more than a month ago. Both Arteta and Coquelin It became a pure defensive midfielder, and the midfield organization was basically handed over to Yaya Toure and Ozil who was inward."

...

In the process of walking out of the player tunnel, Sun Wu was sensitive to the maliciousness in the eyes of the Arsenal players next to him, especially Coquelin... What the hell are you trying to do?

In just one minute of the opening, Sun Wu could see clearly what they wanted to do.

After receiving a cross pass from Valencia, Sun Wu took advantage of the situation and let the ball pass Arteta, but Coquelin rushed forward with lightning speed, and behind Yaya Tu Lei quickly approached and bumped Sun Wu with his body, and Coquelin immediately poked the ball away.

"Best concedes the ball...Arsenal fight back!"

"Ooooh, Ozil's cross...a nice run, Sanchez...a shot!"

Mortensen said regretfully: "Just a little bit, Sanchez's toe shot brushed the far post and flew out of the baseline!"

Sun Wu, who was jointly intercepted by Yaya Toure and Coquelin, was a little at a loss. He turned his head and looked at Arsenal's midfield position.

It is said to be a 433 formation, but it is actually 4231, or even 4321 or 4312.

Arteta and Coquelin form a double defensive midfielder. Yaya Toure will choose positions according to the situation on the field. Although Ozil stands on the left, he will actually organize the attack by running and passing and receiving the ball. Although Sanchez is a winger, he will often run into the penalty area to find opportunities.

In this case, Arsenal organized a very good blocking line in the middle of the midfield. Once the ball is intercepted, Ozil's pass and Sanchez's breakthrough can create a threat.

Of course, the key to Wenger's choice is that he believes that Arteta, Coquelin, and Yaya Toure can withstand Sun Wu, who seems to be declining.
