Chapter 388 That ancient record
Chapter 1, that ancient record

Arsenal's league season is over.

Yelo's league isn't over yet.

Arsenal don't care about breaking their own record.

But Yello really wants to break the single-season scoring record for players in England's top football league that has been dusted for more than 70 years.

The team has already won the championship.

in the league.

The other players no longer have the goal of winning or losing.

their task.

It's a state of preservation.

Avoid injury.

Prepare for those two crucial finals.

But Ye Luo is still full of motivation.

Of course.

He also doesn't expect other teammates to sacrifice their physical fitness to help him.

This is his battle alone.

He is not afraid of the intensive schedule or physical exertion.

but.

Not his teammates.

Wenger considered that Yello is the core of the team and a destined symbol of Arsenal's era.

In fact, he wanted to use the main lineup to help him achieve his goal. ,
"Boss, there's no need! This is my business alone. There's no need to affect the team!"

Ye Luo shook his head and said.

"You follow your own plan, and I can take the youth team and reserve team players to play in the next league!"

The youth team and reserve team players will certainly be eager to play the next three Premier League games.

This is beyond doubt.

Because even though Arsenal won the championship.

But for those players in the reserve team and youth team who basically have no chance to play in the first team.

Even.

It’s a Premier League game where there are no desires and no demands.

That.

It’s also a Premier League game!
That is definitely a game worth cherishing, worth paying attention to, and worth fighting for! !

League No.30 six rounds of competition.

The opponent is Queens Park Rangers.

When Arsenal's starting lineup emerged.

All the media reporters and fans were a little shocked.

because.

This game.

Arsenal basically starts with the youth team and then adds Yello.

Of course.

Ye Luo is not very old either.

He is almost the same age as the Arsenal youth team players.

but.

Those youth team players who are the same age as Yelo are still working hard for first team positions.

Most of them.

In fact, I may not even be able to play in the Premier League in the future.

Many people can only find opportunities to play in England's First Division or even lower leagues.

most of the people.

In the future, they will no longer appear in people's sight.

It can be said.

For these youth team players.

Able to debut in the Premier League.

Broadcast live globally.

This may be their whole life.

The highest level competition I have ever played!
and so.

They cherish it.

This game faces Queens Park Rangers who need points to avoid relegation.

They defended and counterattacked!

As long as they have the ball, there is only one direction for passing the ball - wherever Ye Luo is, they will pass it!
finally.

Both sides scored two goals in this game.

It was a two to two draw.

Yello scored twice to help Arsenal take away a point.

All while continuing to remain undefeated!

"Arsenal, who played almost all their youth teams, drew with Queens Park Rangers away from home. Arsenal's young people looked very confident. Of course, this confidence may have been brought by their captain. With Ye Luo leading Let’s play with them, these young people still have plenty of confidence!”

When the whistle blows at the end of the game.

on the commentary.

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray lamented.

After this game.

There are still two rounds left in the Premier League.

The drama of the championship has ended.

The competition for the top four spots is quite fierce.

Especially Manchester United and Manchester City, the two bears of Manchester City have already locked up the second and No. 3 situations.

No.4.

The last place in the Champions League competition.

It was staged between Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham!
Chelsea are currently in fourth place.

But they are only one point ahead of Liverpool and two ahead of Tottenham.

More critical is.

Eight rounds in the league No.30.

Chelsea face Liverpool directly at home!

This also means.

Three teams.

There is still a chance!
Chelsea wins.

Chelsea is fourth.

Liverpool wins.

Liverpool is fourth.

The two sides tied.

Tottenham won in the last round.

Tottenham are tied with Chelsea on points, and at the same time they can have a greater advantage than Chelsea with their goal difference.

Seize fourth place! !
The drama of fighting for the top four.

Much better than competing for the title.

Of course, the last gimmick of the Premier League, apart from competing for the top four, is whether Ye Luo can break the record.

A single-season goalscoring record in England's top flight.

Belongs to Everton striker Dixie Dean.

He was in the English League One in the distant 1927/28 season.

Dean scored a crazy 60 goals on behalf of Everton, averaging 1.5 goals per game.

Dean almost single-handedly helped Everton win the league title that season.

Dean was only 21 years old this year.

The same age as Ye Luo.

Dean's record of 60 goals in a single season can only be regarded as an astronomical number today.

For Premier League shooters who are now able to score 30 goals in a season, 60 goals is a "myth" that has never been achieved before or since.

Even looking at the entire history of English football, Dean's record is unmatched. The No. 2 in the history is the 30 goals created by Aston Villa's Tom Warning in the 31/49 season.

The 11-goal gap puts the single-season scoring myth created by Dean out of reach.

Dean played a total of 433 times for Everton and scored 383 goals. The goal rate is astonishingly high.

He also made 16 appearances for England, scoring 18 goals.

This also includes two hat-tricks, against Belgium and Luxembourg, and these two games are only 10 days apart.

Dean is also a very professional player, although as a forward he will often be roughly tackled by opponents, and he even once lost a testicle in an interception.

Since the reform of the Premier League in 1992, apart from Yello, only Shearer and Andy Cole have scored 34 goals among the previous shooters.

visible.

Dean's 60 goals is an amazing number.

but.

When Dean set this record.

Football development is not perfect yet.

There are almost no tactics at all.

Defense was not as full of various defensive tactics systems as it is now.

What about zone defense, zone man-to-man defense, chain defense, etc.

Defense back then was simple.

It’s man-to-man!
Just run after the football.

Offside tactics were also very different in that era.

At that time, offside only required the moment the ball was passed, and there only needed to be one opponent player in front of the receiving player, so it would not be considered offside.

Instead of the current two.

So it's easier to score goals.

Football matches at that time often had a lot of big scores.

Why did football offensive tactics in ancient times advocate long passes and lobs?

Were the football coaches in ancient times all fools who didn't understand that this tactic was too simple?
of course not!

because.

The offside tactics at that time restricted the forwards too little.

so that.

The offense can keep one player in the frontcourt at all times.

after all.

The rule of the offside line is that as long as there is a defensive player in front, the pass will not be considered offside.This means that high center forwards do not need to run to avoid offside. They can just stay in the penalty area and wait for the pass.

So football at that time.

One game down.

A football spends half its time in the air.

Everyone's offensive tactics are to directly hit the high-altitude ball to find the high center.

Midfield coordination?

Cooperate with the fart!
Still cooperate?
I just stepped up and looked for the high forward standing in the penalty area.

Who is going to cooperate?

thankless.

And the tactic of long pass and lob.

enduring.

Even now that the offside rule has changed so much, it still has an effect.

Not to mention that time.

So football in that era was dominated by centers.

But it's different now.

The offside rule is even more stringent.

This forces the center to not always stay in the penalty area - otherwise the pass will be offside.

They have to run.

This means that tall and strong centers are no longer suitable for this era.

Therefore, a wide variety of tactical systems have gradually developed, such as passing from the bottom, wingers cutting inside, and midfielders cooperating and penetrating.

Why do you say that.

The offside rule is the soul of modern football and is based on this.

Because almost all tactical systems in today's world football are based on the "offside rule".

This is the foundation of modern football.

Of course.

Because the offside conditions are more relaxed, it becomes more difficult to score goals.

Coupled with the increasing improvement of defensive tactics.

The players' technical and physical differences are averaged out by region under the modern scientific training system.

And with the development of sports medicine.

The physical fitness of today's players is much better than before, and their physical fitness is much better - just over 20 years ago, a player who ran seven or eight kilometers in a game would be praised as an "iron lung" by the media.

What now?
Now one game down.

Any player must run less than ten kilometers.

They will all be criticized by the media.

This is progress.

Another piece of evidence is the retirement age of players.

Now on the court.

It is common to see players over 30 or even 35 years old still playing in the top leagues.

This was unimaginable a few decades ago.

At that time, the average retirement age was less than 30 years old.

The environment Ye Luo faces now is completely different from that of a few decades ago.

His difficulty in scoring goals.

Be bigger!
And much bigger.

His current goal tally is 56.

There are still four goals missing from the record of 60 goals set by Dean in that ancient era.

four balls.

Two games!

Arsenal fans are looking forward to it.

League No.30 seven rounds.

Arsenal's opponent is Swansea.

It stands to reason that this game in Swansea will have no desires and no demands.

Therefore, Arsenal fans thought they could see Yello score a few more goals in this game.

The results of it?
swansea.

away.

Eleven pure defensive players were sent out!

Yes.

All are defensive players.

They gave up the offense completely.

Of the eleven people, seven were in the penalty area and could not come out.

What about the remaining three?
They go to stare at Ye Luo!

Yes.

Swansea's purpose is not to let Yello score!

Under such defense.

Ye Luo is indeed facing great difficulties.

because
The other teammates are all youth team players.

It's hard to give him support.

This resulted in him not scoring a goal until the 903rd minute of the game.

The score on the field.

Zero to zero.

However, at the last moment of injury time.

Arsenal win a corner.

With this corner kick opportunity.

Ye Luo jumped up high.

one head.

Headed the ball into the goal.

Finally one got in.

Increased the number of goals scored in his league to 57!
"Ye Luo wants to break the record. It becomes more difficult!"

Andy Gray said shaking his head in the commentary box.

To tie the record, a hat trick was needed.

break records.

Need to get four in! !
And the key is...
Their final round opponent.

It's Everton at Goodison Forest Park! !

To know.

dean.

That's Everton's legend.

The sculpture standing in the square outside their home stadium belongs to Dean!
therefore.

It is already very difficult for Ye Luo to break the record in the final round of the league and perform four goals.

现在
The opponent is Everton who will definitely defend the glory of their famous star!

Under the combination of the two.

No one would think.

Ye Luoneng can break the record.

"Perhaps with another team, Yello can really break this record! But unfortunately, he met Everton, who wanted to defend Dean's honor!"

"Swansea has actually set an example for Everton. They completely shrink back to defend. Anyway, the victory or defeat does not mean much to Everton. They are too far away from the European theater and will not be relegated."

"Facing Everton, who has a very strong desire to defend, Yello may be able to score goals, but he will never be able to score three! Let alone a big four!"

in England.

People talk about it.

Media reporters, fans, and celebrities all came off the stage to discuss.

This topic is not just in England.

throughout Europe.

Everyone is discussing.

The media is mainly divided into two groups.

One group believes that if Yello wants to break the record, Arsenal must at least send all the main players, so that there is a glimmer of hope.

If the reserve team is used to support Yeluo.

It would be too difficult to break the record.

No, not breaking the record!

It is impossible to even tie the record.

After all, even if it is to tie the record.

That also requires a hat trick.

And this is not just about your own efforts, but also the cooperation of your opponents - but the opponent in this game is Everton!

Another group thinks so.

It's easy for Ye Luo to tie the record.

Just a hat trick.

Anyway, what he is best at is scoring goals.

It can be said that both sides' arguments are quite reasonable.

After all, hat tricks don't just happen.

It's very difficult in normal games.

Not to mention a game with so much pressure.

But Ye Luo's strength lies there.

How many times in the past had he been so shocking.

When you think he can't do it.

He just happens to be able to do it.

in Spain. ,

People are also discussing Yello's record.

Someone went to interview some Malaga players and fans.

Of course they supported Ye Luo unconditionally.

Catalan fans thought it was impossible for Yello to break the record.

"Scoring four in one game? I don't deny that he can usually do it, but it's impossible in this game!"
