Chapter 207 This is the North London Derby!
The head coaches of both sides are seriously preparing for this game and attach great importance to this North London derby.

But the players may not take this game too seriously.

After this wave of unbeaten Arsenal, they have eight wins and one draw in nine league games, scoring 25 points.

Ranked second is Chelsea. Their record is 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and they scored 22 points.

Behind them is Manchester United, who also won 1 draw and 1 loss, and scored 22 points. Manchester United trails Chelsea on goal difference.

And Manchester City has 6 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss-the only loss was to Arsenal, scoring 20 points and ranking fourth.

And Tottenham scored 12 points after nine league rounds, and they were directly blown away by Arsenal.

Especially Tottenham's performance when facing strong teams: for example, they lost to Manchester United and Chelsea successively.

However, Arsenal's performance against strong teams this season has exploded.

The league opener beat Liverpool [-]-[-] and Manchester City [-]-[-] away.

They are all classic battles played by Arsenal this season.

Therefore, the Arsenal players were not very nervous when facing this derby opponent.

They are very relaxed.

Although Wenger is worried about hidden worries.

But for Arsenal's players, they are now number one in the league standings, and they haven't lost a game so far, so why worry about it.

With the current state of the team, is there any problem in defeating Tottenham, which is in poor form and has not won six rounds?

As for the North London Derby, the two sides have been entangled for more than 100 years, and there is nothing special about it.

It's just an intense game.

As long as everyone concentrates and beats Tottenham, it will not be a big problem.

Wenger noticed the team's thinking of underestimating the enemy. Although the old man reminded him, the players only felt that the old man was too cautious.

We are now at the top of the Premier League standings after nine rounds!
Rounding up is 22% of the league champions.

Young people have this characteristic.

Easy to swell.

In an interview, Wilshere, who is very likely to get a starting chance in this game, couldn't hide his excitement and pride.

Of course.

On the surface, he still said that they would respect their opponents and the game.

"Tottenham is a very strong opponent. We can't underestimate the enemy because the game at White Hart Lane is always very difficult. Our minds are full of the game now. We can't wait to beat them. I can't wait for the game to start immediately."

When he said these words, Wilshere had a confident smile on his face.

That's game day.

White Hart Lane is naturally full of seats, filled with all kinds of anti-Arsenal flags and slogans, Tottenham fans are also very rude to Arsenal, from when their bus enters the stadium to when they go to the stadium to warm up. Feel the "enthusiasm" of Tottenham fans.

What Wenger cares about is not this, but the opponent's lineup.

"Three defenders?"

Looking at this lineup, Wenger couldn't help frowning slightly.

Villas-Boas obviously made some changes for Arsenal.

The other party came prepared.

Before the players played, Wenger emphasized again: "We must not underestimate the enemy. From the beginning of the game, we must suppress them with offense. It is best to score goals as soon as possible!"

However, what people did not expect was that at the White Hart Lane Stadium, Arsenal encountered an unprecedented tenacious resistance from Tottenham!
This is indeed a very tough game!

"Gareth Bale!!!"

"Whoa! Beautiful! Beautiful overtaking! He passed the ball to himself three seconds later!!"

"Oh my God! This speed once made people think they saw Ye Luo!"

"Yes! Tottenham scored again! They are already leading [-]-[-]! Who would have thought that! Arsenal encountered such a scene at White Hart Lane! Bale's speed broke Arsenal's defense!"

on the commentary.

The commentators had already left their seats, stood up, exclaimed, and explained loudly.

In the stands of White Hart Lane.

"Go to hell!! Arsenal son of a bitch!!"

The Tottenham fans cursed unceremoniously at the Arsenal players on the field.

at the same time.

They also immediately cheered.

Because after the goal, Bell has opened his arms and came to the sidelines! !

Violent cheers resounded through the sky.

On the side scoreboard.

Game time: 44:12:22
Score: 2:0
"This is the derby! This is the North London derby!!"

The narrator Andy Gray growled excitedly.

"Before the start of this game, everyone thought that Arsenal in excellent form would have no problem winning the poor Tottenham away, but now Arsenal are two goals behind!"

"This is the derby!" Lineker exclaimed, "Boas' change was very effective. He arranged Vertonghen, Gallas, and Dawson as three central defenders, and the right back was a sportsman. The super capable Kyle Walker, the left back is the Cameroon flying wing Hector, and in the midfield, there are three players with strong defensive interception ability, Parker, Sandro, and Huddlestone. Bell is arranged in the No. [-] and a half, the fast Defoe is at the forefront, and his main focus is a defensive counterattack!!"

"Facts have proved that Boas' change is too effective, and Tottenham's counterattack threat is too great!" Andy Gray took over the conversation, "After Bale rushed up in the counterattack, it made people feel that the Tottenham team was in a trance. Thorn also has a Ye Luo."

"That's right! Bale's performance is getting better and better. Since he was transformed from a left-back to an offensive player, he has shown amazing potential on the offensive end. These two goals are also related to him. The first one directly Defoe scored the goal with an overtaking cross from the side. The second one simply broke through Arsenal's defense line with speed and completed the goal himself. The Welshman expressed his appreciation for Ye Luo in the pre-match interview. Now it seems , he must have extra motivation to face Ye Luo's team!!"

Gareth Bale is surrounded by Tottenham players celebrating a goal.

Bell looked at Ye Luo who was not far away, and a trace of excitement flashed in the corner of his eyes.

In front of his idol, he scored a goal and assisted another goal, leading Ye Luo's team by two goals.

This made Bell quite excited.

He was already thinking about Ye Luo's expression when he went to exchange jerseys with Ye Luo after the game.

On the sidelines, Wenger spread his hands towards the players on the field with an angry face.

What can he say?

Before the match, he kept emphasizing, don't underestimate the enemy, don't underestimate the enemy, don't underestimate the enemy!

结果
The result was that in the 45 minutes of the first and second half, Arsenal did not score a single goal, but instead allowed their opponents to score two counter-attack goals.

If you don't underestimate the enemy, you don't know what is underestimating the enemy!
Shortly after Bale's goal, the first half was over.

The whistle sounded for the end of the first half.

The expressions of the players on both sides were completely opposite when they left the field.

The Arsenal players lowered their heads in dejection and walked quickly through the player tunnel.

In this process, of course, the ridicule of the fans at the scene is indispensable.

The score in the first half made the Arsenal players very frustrated.

"In the first half of the game, Arsenal were terrible, especially their defense, and Tottenham scored two goals from two counter-attacks."

"Liverpool failed to score in the first half, and Ye Luo seems to have forgotten to put on his shooting boots in this game!"

A close-up of Ye Luo appeared on the TV screen.

He frowned and looked upset too.

"Since the start of the new season, Arsenal's performance has been very good, but relatively speaking, it has gone too smoothly. This is the price paid for their underestimation of the enemy. It is also time for the young Arsenal to pay some tuition fees." Duan Xuan sighed Said.

During the intermission.

Wenger, who has a good temper, also turned into a grumpy old man. He turned on the hair dryer and scolded the whole team.

"I won't make any adjustments in the second half of the game!"

Wenger said angrily.

"There is nothing wrong with our tactics, and our strength is also a head higher than theirs. As long as we correct our mentality, it is not a problem to equalize the score, even if it is a reversal! But if you don't change this mentality of underestimating the enemy, this game The loss is a lesson, and we may even lose this season!!"

Wenger's stern gaze swept over everyone.

In this team.

Except for a few players such as Ye Luo and Cazorla, they have the experience of competing for the championship-and they have not yet competed for the Premier League championship.

The other players are stunned.

Arshavin, Rosicky, Arteta and others have experience.

But they hurt.

Did not follow to the away game at all.

Wenger is very clear that in an environment like the Premier League, mentality is very important!

Because the competition here is too fierce, the time left for the team to adjust and do psychological construction is too short.

One swing can lead to a streak.

So he must let the players know clearly.

In this league.

There is no game without going all out!
"Reflect on yourselves, in the second half, I hope to see a completely different team!"

Wenger glanced at Ye Luo, then left.

At this time, Wenger chose to hand over the locker room to the players.

In any case, he is a coach, and his status is naturally different from that of a player.

At this time, perhaps the subjective initiative of the players can adjust the psychological state of the entire team.

Of course.

He also trusts Ye Luo, he believes that Ye Luo is the real leader of the team.

at this time.

It's time for player leaders to lead by example.

Any team competing for a championship needs a leader.

In the past, Arsenal had Henry and tough players like Vieira.

And now, Arsenal hasn't had that kind of guy who looks tough for many years-so many fans of other teams have ridiculed Arsenal's soft style of play.

Wenger leaves the dressing room.

But the door of the locker room was slammed shut, and when only the players were left in the locker room, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Ye Luo stood up, looked at his teammates and said, "I want to apologize to everyone!"

He raised his hand and said.

"In this game, I really underestimated the enemy. Including me, we did not take our opponent seriously. This is a serious mistake! This is football, and underestimating the opponent will always pay a price. I don't want to say The meaning of this derby, what I want to say is that I don’t want to lose to any opponent, so I hope everyone cheers up in the second half of the game. There are still 45 minutes in the game. As long as we are serious, the difference between the two goals is simply not enough. not a problem!"

"Now, let's discuss how to play in the second half!"

Ye Luo said.

His voice fell.

As Ye Luo's number one supporter in the locker room, Cazorla immediately stood up and said that he would support the captain and give the opponent a good look in the second half.

With Cazorla's response, other Arsenal players also expressed their opinions.

Standing at the door, Wenger, who hadn't actually left, raised the corners of his mouth involuntarily.
This game, even if it is lost, Wenger also thinks it is valuable.

To compete for the championship, some things must be experienced.

When the second half of the game started.

Tottenham's players came out first.

Everyone had obvious joy on their faces.

They were in high spirits and clearly got praise from their coaches at half-time.

At this time, they were full of confidence and planned to continue to retreat to defend as in the first half, and seize the counterattack opportunity to continue scoring.

Use Bale's speed to blow up Arsenal's defense!
It's the Arsenal players who haven't come out for a long time-this is not to say that they deliberately delayed coming out to leave Tottenham's players on the field.

It's because everyone is discussing the countermeasures for the second half.

One minute after Tottenham's players came out.

Arsenal's players were long overdue.

But at this time, there was no frustration on their faces, but calmness was restored.

Wenger is on the bench.

He made up his mind to play this scene to the end.

Can't let the players see the clues.

Even if the game is really lost, it's no big deal.

In the long league, it is impossible not to lose at all, so if this game can be meaningfully lost, it is not a loss.

Just when Wenger thought so.

The referee has already blown the whistle to start the second half.
