My light shines on Arsenal

Chapter 25 Sunset at White Hart Lane ([-])

On October 2011, 10, Saturday, the autumn wind was bleak.

The temperature in London has dropped, and wearing summer clothes will feel a bit of coolness.

This is White Hart Lane...

Although he has been in London for many years, Chen Yao has never been to White Hart Lane.

Tottenham Hotspur is Arsenal's sworn enemy for a century. This grudge that has been entangled for a century, in the words of Tottenham fans, originally originated from a "black-box operation" by Arsenal owner Norris in the 1th century - of course, To say it was a behind-the-scenes operation is also to say that it is unofficial history. No one knows the truth. In short, that season, Tottenham, the bottom number one in English League One, was relegated, while Arsenal, number five in English League Two, was promoted, starting a feud that has lasted for hundreds of years.

Arsenal fans didn't care about the ridicule of Tottenham fans.

Since then, the development of the two teams has diverged.Arsenal, which was established later, became a founding member of the Premier League. Under the leadership of Chapman and Graham, it has repeatedly established dynasties and has become a well-known European and world-renowned first-tier club.

And Tottenham... Tottenham's biggest achievement is to contribute a festival, "St. Tottenham Hotspur Day". Whenever Arsenal's points are higher than Tottenham at the end of the season, Gunners fans will sing and dance to celebrate this festival.

This is undoubtedly the ultimate humiliation for Tottenham fans.After more than 100 years of abuse, ridicule, and confrontation, the North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham has become one of the most classic derby duels. It is not only a special game between opponents, but also internalized into London football culture. part.

Chen Yao followed the team into the White Hart Lane. The game will be held at four o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, the sun is still high in North London.

He raised his head, the sun dazzled his eyes.

He vaguely saw the rooster stepping on the football on the outer wall of White Hart Lane, raising its proud head and squinting at the enemies walking into the home field, just like it had done for the past 100 years.

……

Arthur and Donna also came to White Hart Lane.In fact, there are not many fans of the visiting team who come to White Hart Lane to watch the game. The two stadiums are located in North London.

The passionate confrontation between the fans of the two teams is also an important part of the derby, but today Arthur obviously did not dare to do so.

He was surrounded by Tottenham fans wearing white scarves.

After thinking for a while, Arthur quietly took off the red and white fleece hat on Donna's head, and took off his own red and white scarf, and put it in his arms.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Jones, I had too much to drink yesterday and bought the wrong ticket. We should have been in the away fan section..."

Arthur said apologetically. He looked warily at the eager Tottenham fans around him, and then cautiously added: "Ms. Jones, don't get too excited later. Let's pretend to be passers-by."

Donna rolled her eyes at Arthur. This fool, although she agreed to go out with him to watch home games every week, the only time he bought away tickets was that he made such a ridiculous mistake.

……

In the locker room, Wenger was doing his final mobilization.

In fact, the game against Tottenham never required mobilization.When a player puts on the Arsenal uniform, he should know that he needs to step on the white of Tottenham with all his strength.

Chen Yao held the starting list of both sides and frowned.He tapped his head, his brow showing deep worry.

What a headache.

Tottenham's starting lineup:

Friedel/Héctor, Ledley King, Kaboul, Kyle Walker/Scott Parker, Modric, Van der Vaart/Gareth Bale, Defoe, Adebayor

How do you evaluate this starting lineup?
If combined with the future development of some of these players, Tottenham's configuration can be called luxurious.

Perhaps at this time, Tottenham fans and their coach Redknapp have not yet realized that Tottenham has the potential to be the top player in Europe.

Kyle Walker is just a 21-year-old kid at this time, with a goal record of 0 in the Premier League. But later on, he will grow into a super-running winger with comprehensive skills and a top full-back.

Scott Parker and Van der Vaart are both well-known veterans. Their strength is not inferior to Arteta, and perhaps higher than other midfielders in Arsenal's lineup who are suffering from minor injuries.

And Modric will be a world-class midfielder at the Golden Globe level in the future. At this time, the "Magic Flute" has already made its debut in the Premier League.

The front trident is equally strong.

Gareth Bale, the Premier League Player of the Season, a super winger, an all-around genius with superstar potential, and the future Mr. Billionaire.

Defoe is a Premier League veteran with agile movement and superb shooting skills.

And Emmanuel Adebayor, the former Arsenal monster and today's Tottenham striker, ran [-] meters and slid to his knees to humiliate Arsenal's traitor...

Tottenham in 2011 was really a bonanza.If Chen Yao wasn't a member of Arsenal, he really wanted to poach all these people a few years earlier.

But now, they are Arsenal's enemies.

The old, weak, sick and disabled Gunners must find a way to face a supernova team at White Hart Lane and retreat unscathed.

Chen Yao looked at his own starting lineup, and compared it, he could only say it was horrible.

On the back line, Bakari Sagna starts. This is good news. Finally, we don’t have to worry about Jenkinson’s poor performance.

However, Koscielny has been designated as unlucky this season. He has been injured since the start of the game. After half a month of high-intensity matches, Koscielny has been lying down again.

Chen Yao once suspected that the level of Arsenal's team doctors was too low, but looking at the gleaming resume of team doctor Colin Levine and the modern recovery equipment at the Colney base, Chen Yao was speechless - maybe Arsenal had an injury debuff. Bar.

So they could only resort to the method of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, withdrawing Alexander Song and partnering with Per Mertesacker as the starting central defender.

The vacancy left by Song, according to Wenger's meaning, is to give the young player Coquelin a chance to start.Wenger has never been stingy about giving his team youth training opportunities.

Chen Yao and Wenger fought over whether they could give Jorginho a chance.In the training of the echelon, Jorginho, Verratti and Zaha clearly showed talents that are higher than others, and entering the first team training is just around the corner.

However, Wenger still rejected Chen Yao's suggestion. He chose to start Coquelin, who has a pure youth training pedigree, with Arteta.

In the midfield, Ramsey is still the attacking midfielder, Gervinho and Walcott are on the wings, and Van Persie has a single arrow.

Compared with Tottenham in this lineup, considering the heights the players can reach in the future, Arsenal is on the weak side.

But in the North London Derby, no matter what ranking the two sides are in or what their strength comparison is, neither side will choose to give up.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the game begins!
　I would like to apologize to everyone, I have read the opinions of some book friends, and I think it makes sense.Because of my inexperience and lack of skills, I may not be able to satisfy everyone in terms of rhythm and coolness.I am trying to reflect and correct, thank you for your support.
