Chapter 353 Wang Mouji Fights Jia Moubao

The north London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal can be regarded as one of the most intense matchups in the Premier League derby.

Although Tottenham and Arsenal are not the only teams in London, compared to other teams, the relationship between these two teams can be described as a hundred years old.

Once, Arsenal's home court was not in London, but due to market value considerations, the owner of Arsenal at the time moved the team to a rich area in North London, encroaching on the living space that originally belonged to Tottenham.

Tottenham were very dissatisfied at the time, and even filed a complaint with the league, but the league believed that there was nothing illegal about Arsenal's home relocation, so Tottenham had to endure having an extra player at their doorstep to compete with themselves for resources. Bad Neighbor".

It's just that Arsenal was still a second-tier league team at the time, and there was not much overlap with Tottenham, which was in the top league at the time.

But later, the owner of Arsenal took advantage of an opportunity of expansion of the top league and borrowed some administrative resources to promote his team, which was not considered in the first place, into the top league. At the same time, it was in the relegation zone. So being a victim "was" downgraded.

Since then, Arsenal has become the only team that has not been relegated, and has reached the peak step by step, becoming one of England's traditional strong teams.

Even in the nearly 20 years after Wenger's arrival, he has maintained his ranking above Tottenham after the end of the season.

For this reason, Arsenal fans also call the day when the points are confirmed to overwhelm Tottenham every year as "Saint Tottenham Day" to mock their rivals in the same city.

This is regarded as a disgrace by many Tottenham fans, who believe that the robber Arsenal has robbed everything that should belong to them.

The feud came to a head a decade ago after their captain Campbell 'defected' to Arsenal.

Therefore, for many teams who have no experience in derby, it is difficult to play against rivals.

Because all the home fans on the scene will try to distract the players in various ways, not to mention crazy cursing.

If players can't focus on the game, then their performance can easily be affected.

Perhaps for this reason, Wenger arranged more veteran players with more derby experience in the starting lineup for this game. Too brilliant Gervinho.

It is worth mentioning that the former Arsenal player Adebayor, who once crazily provoked the fans after moving to Manchester City, also appeared in the starting list of this game.

But this time, Adebayor, who experienced the shooting incident during the national team game and witnessed the death of his teammates, became a lot calmer. He did not express too many personal emotions. Facing the provocation of the away Arsenal fans It's too lazy to react too much.

And Mu Jianfeng continued to sit on the bench.

Perhaps because of the current friendly relationship between Russia and China internationally, Mu Jianfeng is one of the few players in the team who has a good relationship with Arshavin.

Because of this, the two exchanged a few words from time to time. Although Arshavin's English was very good from time to time, communication was not a problem under Mu Jianfeng's patient understanding.

However, as the game started, the communication between the two quickly stopped.

Because almost immediately, Arsenal in the away game fell into a passive position.

Alexander Song, who continued to play as a central defender in this game, was completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Adebayor. If Coquelin hadn't made up for many times, maybe Arsenal would be the first to lose at the start of the game. side of the ball.

And van Persie, who continued to play the single arrow in this game, struggled under the old Redknapp's special tactics, and didn't have many chances to get close to the penalty area!

This also makes Arsenal's offense can only rely more on the inside cuts of the two wide players to get shooting opportunities, but the starting right winger Walcott can only get some unsatisfactory long-range shots outside the penalty area. On the other side, Gervinho fell into a one-on-one trap once, either being intercepted or missing a fleeting opportunity in the fight.

Compared with Arsenal's lineup that is still struggling to adjust, Tottenham's lineup may be better.

Their midfielder has a "magic flute" called midfielder Modric and former Real Madrid star Van der Vaart.

There is also the "Great Sage" Bell who suddenly became enlightened last season and became more and more amazing as he played.

Coupled with the experienced veterans Adebayor, Defoe and Parker, they soon became more and more stable, gradually eroding Arsenal's midfield space, and once suppressed Arsenal's players. ball!

Finally, at the end of the first half, Tottenham took the lead to score Arsenal's goal!
Adebayor carried Alexander Song in the big penalty area and then passed the ball diagonally to the small penalty area. Van der Vaart, who suddenly inserted in the back row, calmly unloaded the ball with his chest almost unguarded in the penalty area, and then made a slight move After the adjustment, he broke Arsenal's goal with a tricky shot from an angle.

Subsequently, Bell's strong shot from the edge of the penalty area and passed by the door caused a lot of exclamations from the scene.

It can be said that if it weren't for luck that seemed to be on Arsenal's side, the score at the end of the half-time might not only be 1:0!
During the halftime break, Wenger, who returned to the locker room, rarely seized all the time to make tactical arrangements, wanting to change the passive situation on the field.

As soon as the second half started, Arsenal's players faithfully implemented Wenger's tactical adjustments.

Facing Tottenham's rigorous defense, Alexander Song, the starting central defender, ventured into Tottenham's half!
This sudden adjustment made Tottenham a little unprepared, but such a change is tantamount to fighting for life, because Song's frequent insertions made Arsenal's backcourt even more empty, and Tottenham seized the opportunity several times to counterattack , All of which made the heartbeat of Arsenal's fans speed up.

But it seems that Wenger's tactics are more effective!

In the 50th minute of the second half of the game, during an attack by Arsenal, Alexander Song, a central defender, was ambushing at the front of the penalty area!
Even after he grabbed the header from the ferry from the Tottenham defender, he unexpectedly dribbled the ball into the penalty area again!
This time, Tottenham's defensive formation was messed up!
And when Tottenham's defensive players didn't know whether to put down the players around them to press forward or let the opponent take the ball, Alexander Song suddenly kicked the ball horizontally towards the small penalty area!

There, while the defensive player was stunned and alert, Ramsey stretched out his foot and kicked the ball towards the goal!
1: 1!

Ramsey equalized for the team!
And almost at the same time, Jobs, who was dying in the intensive care unit on the other side of the ocean, suddenly recovered some spirits (Note 1)...

……

The Arsenal players who equalized the score did not celebrate too much. They chose to return to the midfield and wait for the game to restart. The mentality of trying to overtake the score seemed very determined.

But mentality is one aspect, and hard power is the objective basis.

Tottenham, which was equalized, seemed to suddenly wake up from a dream, and suddenly resumed the aggressiveness of the first half!
Just less than 3 minutes after Ramsey equalized the score, Tottenham almost equalized the score. Unfortunately, Adebayor, who succeeded in anti-offside, failed to trick Szesny into scoring a goal.

Watching this scene, Wenger on the sidelines frowned again, his high-speed thinking brain made him ignore some unconscious movements in his hands.

But in the face of passive defense on the field, there are almost no qualified defensive players behind him.

After a while, Wenger gritted his teeth and turned to wave to Mu Jianfeng!

This scene surprised Mu Jianfeng, but also made him look forward to it.

But soon, Wenger's explanation made him a little stunned:
"Mu, go warm up right away, I want you to replace Leo in 5 minutes!"

"Leo? Walcott?"

Mu Jianfeng asked again with some uncertainty. He thought Wenger would let him replace Van Persie, who did not perform very well in this game, but he didn't want Wenger to let him replace Walcott!

"That's right, you replace Walcott, play right-winger, you have to chase back when defending, especially not with Bale playing so comfortably!

Go physical with him, don't try to grab the ball, just be more physical with him!
When attacking, I will ask them to use you as a bridgehead. You have to create opportunities for Robin (Van Persie) on the wing and attract attention!
It can be plugged in when necessary, looking for long-range opportunities in front of the penalty area, understand? "

Wenger's London accent sounded a bit awkward, and the situation was a bit urgent at the moment. The old man spoke very quickly, so Mu Jianfeng had to work hard to understand.

"Replacing Leo, playing wide, looking for physical confrontation with Bale, creating opportunities for Robin, looking for opportunities to shoot from long distance?"

Mu Jianfeng repeated it quickly, confirming with Wenger.

Seeing that Mu Jianfeng understood his tactical arrangement well, Wenger frowned slightly, and nodded in relief, patting Mu Jianfeng on the back, signaling him to warm up quickly.

This scene made Van Persie a little anxious on the field, because he also thought that Mu Jianfeng would replace him, because facing Tottenham's intensive defense in this game, Mu Jianfeng's body is undoubtedly a more advantageous weapon.

But soon, when the fourth official on the sidelines held up the substitution card, not only him, but even Walcott on the field thought it was a mistake, until Wenger on the sidelines frantically waved to him and Calling his name, Walcott ran to the sidelines in a daze.

And quickly high-fived Mu Jianfeng, and then continued to walk back to the bench with some doubts.

If Walcott knew at this time that in the distant China, after a certain herbal tea brand was split into two, a commercial war was brewing that attracted national attention, and the brand that originally ranked second in market share would become a big winner in the confrontation between the two. If you are the only loser, you may have some empathy.
