Chapter 985

In the eighth round of the Premier League, Arsenal beat Birmingham 2-2 at home, but Manchester United accidentally missed at home and were tied 4:[-] by West Bromowitz.Arsenal's lead extended to four points.

In a long season, 4 points is not a big advantage, but Arsenal's state is so desperate that even Sir Alex Ferguson, who is known for his strong will, has to admit that Arsenal has taken the lead in winning the championship.

The rivals in the same city, Chelsea, also drew with the powerful Aston Villa in the away game. Now they are 8 points behind Arsenal. Facing Arsenal's strong momentum, Chelsea coach Ancelotti said sourly that Arsenal's state is good Too early, and the chain is likely to be lost later. He vowed that all teams will have ups and downs. No team will win consecutively to the end, and Arsenal will be no exception. According to his experience, after Arsenal There will inevitably be periods of low tide.

Arsenal did not respond to the curse of the arch-enemy. With 4 championships in hand, Arsenal is not as sensitive as it was in previous years. For them, the most important thing is to play their own game well. Let them be jealous if they are jealous, and let them talk about it It is said that as long as Arsenal continues to win, these will not have any impact on Arsenal.

Now Arsenal are seriously preparing for the third round of the Champions League group stage. Their opponent is the Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Donetsk.For Arsenal, this is not a good opponent. This Eastern European team has always been the nemesis of technical flow. Arsenal have only played against them twice in history. That was in the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2000/01 season. Arsenal are drawn in the same group as Shakhtar Donetsk, Lazio and Sparta Prague.When playing against Shakhtar Donetsk at home, Arsenal narrowly won 3-2 with Keown's last-minute lore, but in the away game, Arsenal was completely out of shape. 0 came back in a big defeat.

顿涅茨克矿工不仅克制阿森纳，他们在和巴萨的比赛中也丝毫不落下风，2004-2005赛季欧冠小组赛巴萨主场3：0战胜矿工，矿工回到主场2：0赢巴萨，2008-2009赛季欧冠小组赛矿工主场1：2负于巴萨，客场矿工3：2战胜巴萨。

With Arsenal and Barcelona, ​​the two representatives of technical football, the game is tied, and the number of goals is not inferior. Among the second-rate teams in the world, only the Ukrainian giants in Eastern Europe.

In Group H, Arsenal and Shakhtar Donetsk both won two games and two. Arsenal only ranked first with the advantage of goal difference. This time, Arsenal wants to keep the top spot in the home game against Shakhtar Donetsk. The position must be won, because when the away game against Shakhtar Donetsk, the weather will be extremely cold, which will be very unfavorable to Arsenal.
Not only are Shakhtar Donetsk strong and their style of play restrained technical flow, but they also have an undercover agent for Arsenal, that is, Croatian striker Eduardo who transferred from Arsenal to Shakhtar Donetsk this season.Eduardo played well in Shakhtar Donetsk. He made 13 appearances and started 9 times in 5 league rounds, scoring 3 goals.Started once in the Champions League, started once in the Ukrainian Cup and scored one goal.

But what worries Arsenal is not the state of Eduardo, the spirit fox in the penalty area, but his understanding of Arsenal.Originally, Shakhtar Donetsk's defensive and counterattack style was very restrained against Arsenal, and Eduardo, who knows the bottom line of Arsenal, although Arsenal are in amazing form, they dare not say that they will definitely be able to win this team at home. Ukrainian powerhouse.

Before the game, Eduardo said in an interview with "Sky Sports": "Arsenal has always had many difficulties in playing against Eastern European teams. I hope that they will be as difficult as they are in this dialogue with us. Draw lots I dreamed of playing against Arsenal and being able to play again in front of the stands at the Emirates Stadium, if the goal? I will not celebrate. I had a good time here at Arsenal, I respect the fans here and Arsene Wenger And of course the club, sir."

Eduardo's departure is different from Adebayor. Fans, players and Wenger all regret but are helpless about his departure, because this is the inevitable choice of professional football.

Wenger also told the truth about Eduardo's transfer before the game: "In fact, Eduardo has the qualities of an Arsenal player. When I see him, I will be both happy and sad. I am happy because he is an Arsenal player. Fantastic lad, he's got a lot of mentality, sad because I worked so hard to get him to Arsenal and I had to let him go because I didn't feel he was going to get back to full strength The way he was in his first season at Arsenal, it's a fact of life, he's been out for too long with injuries so the others are ahead of him."

In addition to the relationship between Eduardo and Arsenal, Shakhtar Donetsk coach Lucescu and Wenger are also good friends. They knew each other when they were in France 30 years ago. , the group has great hopes of qualifying, and the competition is only for the top spot, so there is no saliva before the game, but more warmth.

In a pre-match press conference, Shakhtar coach Lucescu said: "I have known Arsene Wenger for about 30 years, when he was the head coach of Nancy, we had contact. I know his understanding of football very well, our philosophy is very similar.
We will play two games against Arsenal, this one and the one in two weeks time.We know that Arsenal are strong at home, but they will also have difficulties away from home.Shakhtar Donetsk is also a strong team. We are away at the Emirates Stadium to score points.

Of course, Arsenal will control the game, which is also normal, after all they are playing at home and have a lot of creative players.We have to be organized and hit them on the counter-attack.I dare not say we will play attacking football because it depends on Arsenal, but we can cause them a lot of problems.This game will definitely make Eduardo very emotional.He once wanted to stay at Arsenal, but his injury did not allow it, and now Shakhtar Donetsk is helping him return to peak form. "

Arsenal coach Wenger talked about the importance of this game at the press conference: "Cesco Fabregas can play, he had a small hamstring injury before, and now he has recovered and can play. This game It is very important, because if we win, we will basically qualify from the group. Both us and Shakhtar Donetsk have 6 points, and the other two teams have 0 points. This means that this game will determine who can qualify first and who is the first in the group Shakhtar Donetsk had a winning streak before and the best in the domestic league, beating Braga 3-0 away in the last Champions League matchday. We have to be fully focused and we can only win if we play at our best."

The warm scene before the game is still on the field. On the evening of October 10th, the Emirates Stadium, which can accommodate 19 people, was full of seats. Gun fans in the stands also played "Welcome Eduardo!" "Thank you for your years at Arsenal !" "We will always remember what you suffered at Arsenal!" Such slogans.When Eduardo came out for training with the team, the gun fans at the scene also gave Eduardo warm applause.

Seeing this tender scene, the on-site commentator couldn't help sighing: "You know, before going to Arsenal, Eduardo was an absolute villain who won the Golden Boot in a row and scored 104 goals in 73 games in the Croatian League. But after breaking his leg, his state plummeted, and he could no longer find the glory of the year. The FA should reflect on their referees and the style of play in the league. Ramsey, Arsenal still have a large number of wounded, which is a great harm to technical football, I hope the Ukrainian team can play cleanly in this game, and don't let the game become sour..."

At 7:45 in the evening, the third round of the Champions League officially kicked off.The starting players of both sides came out of the locker room holding the ball boy's hand.The fans in the stands applauded their teams enthusiastically and shouted their favorite players' names desperately.

阿森纳本场比赛延续上一场大胜伯明翰的4-2-3-1阵型：21-法比安斯基/27-埃布埃、13李欢、20-乔鲁、22-克里希/17-宋、19-威尔谢尔/4-法布雷加斯、8-纳斯里、23-阿尔沙文/29-查马克。比起上一场来，迪亚比被换下，法布雷加斯回到了中场，瑞士小将乔鲁顶替了斯奎拉奇，从稳健的角度来说，这场不如上一场，但是攻击性更强。

顿涅茨克矿工同样也是4-2-3-1的阵型：30-皮亚托夫/33-塞纳、5-库切尔、44-拉基特斯基、26-拉特/3-胡布斯曼、19-加伊/22-梅克赫塔里恩、29-阿莱士-特谢拉、10-威廉安/ 9-路易斯-阿德里亚诺。赛前球迷和媒体关注的焦点阿森纳旧将爱德华多坐在了替补席上，并没有首发出场。

Although Shakhtar Donetsk also has a 4231 formation, Arsenal's 4231 is mainly offensive. The first three are all offensive players, and even the second two have a main attacker.Shakhtar Donetsk's 2 is more like a 4231 formation. The five people in the middle have four thugs. Only the monster William Ann is a pure attacker. He and the forward fast horse Adriano are responsible for breaking Arsenal in this game The great responsibility of the defense line.

　There is one more.
