Chapter 62 We need to score! 【Fifth update】

In the Champions League draw, Arsenal was drawn against Real Madrid, which gave Li Mo a lot of comfort these days.

Yes.

Most people think that Arsenal is in trouble.

The family members were busy comforting Li Mo, telling him that it would be fine to come back next year, since the Champions League is played every year anyway.

Both Inzaghi and Inzaghi called and told Li Mo that every professional football player will encounter failure and elimination.

These days at the team’s training ground.

The players also seem to care less about the Champions League.

The talk didn't revolve around the Champions League either.

Li Mo was very unhappy.

The whole world seems to think so.

Arsenal will definitely be eliminated - they are drawn by Real Madrid, and they will be eliminated by Real Madrid just like they were eliminated by Bayern or Barcelona.

This kind of timidity before fighting made Li Mo hold back his anger.

However, the Champions League games will not start until late February next year.

There are still more than two months to go.

So now Arsenal can focus all their energy on the domestic arena.

The upcoming Christmas Express season will be a severe test for the players of any Premier League team.

When the players from the Bundesliga and La Liga are having a comfortable vacation.

The Premier League is still in full swing.

This is why in the second half of the season, many teams at the top of the standings, such as West Bromwich Albion and Everton, which once reached the top four this season, and teams with insufficient bench depth, will quickly fall behind. One of the reasons.

Play seven or eight games a month.

No team can win the game with one lineup.

at this time.

Those big teams with deep pockets and having several players worth tens of millions on their bench have a huge advantage.

Facing the upcoming intensive schedule.

Especially the next game at home against Manchester United.

The entire Arsenal team must focus on the league.

The feud between Arsenal and Manchester United in the Premier League era is definitely something to write home about.

Although the two teams are not mortal enemies in the traditional sense.

However, the competition between the two sides in the early stages of the Premier League created a very hostile atmosphere between the fans of the two teams.

But now Arsenal has not had the strength to compete for the championship for several years, and Manchester United's competitors have also changed from Arsenal to Chelsea, and later Manchester City joined.

Arsenal seem to be increasingly turning into a title spoiler.

Especially last season.

Manchester United beat Arsenal 8-2 at home.

Coupled with this summer transfer window, Manchester United took away their captain and star Robin van Persie directly from Arsenal.

This makes Arsenal fans extremely painful at the same time.

The star player was directly poached by Manchester United, which also caused many media to say that Arsenal had lost the qualification to compete with Manchester United.

in a pre-match press interview.

Manchester United's players are obviously much more confident than Arsenal.

after all

The mutual record between the two sides is here.

The last eight meetings between the two sides in the league.

Manchester United has six wins, one draw and one loss.

In terms of match record, they have the absolute upper hand.

Even if the game is away from home.

Manchester United here.

It also seems somewhat aggressive.

Ferguson's influence in the Premier League is very large.

He is perhaps the Premier League's best manager at using media and public opinion to influence his opponents.

In the mid-1990s, when Newcastle was still a title rival of Manchester United, Newcastle's head coach Keegan was crushed by Ferguson's psychological tactics, and the team collapsed at the end of the season.

After Wenger joined the competition.

The number one target of Ferguson's psychological warfare became Wenger.

The atmosphere of hostility between the two sides continues to accumulate.

From the "Dream Theater Clash" triggered by Ruud van Nistelrooy and Giovanni, to the piece of pizza thrown by Cesc Fabregas.

The conflict between the two sides has almost reached its climax.

but.

As Chelsea rose to prominence, Arsenal fell from their peak.

Ferguson's psychological warfare began to target other opponents - coupled with Ferguson's age, his anger may not be as strong as it used to be.

Therefore, there have not been any new large-scale "psychological warfare offensives" in recent years.

Perhaps it was Arsenal's recent form that aroused Ferguson's vigilance.

Ferguson, who is getting stronger as time goes by, is firing on the media again.

"Arsenal? Are you talking about the team that is winning with a kid?"

Ferguson told reporters.

Wenger was very dissatisfied with Ferguson's psychological warfare targeting Li Mo.

“We have a great kid, but we win as a team.”

Wenger's response seemed weak.

But that's the thing about Wenger.

He may be better than Ferguson in terms of tactical attainments.

But sometimes winning is not just about arranging tactics.

Faced with Ferguson, a master of psychological warfare.

Wenger did not choose to continue to expand the war.

But he is also using this to motivate his players: Manchester United is so arrogant, we must teach them a lesson.

Some reporters also asked Li Mo.

"Is that what he said?"

Li Mo nodded slightly.

He showed no emotion.

This disappointed the reporters.

The war of words started by Ferguson.

But no one took the call.

For a while.

Manchester United fans rejoiced and mocked Arsenal's weakness.

"Arsenal will always be under pressure by Manchester United!"

"Oh oh oh, Arsenal, where is your mother? Go cry in your mother's arms!"

on the Internet.

The jeers of Manchester United fans.

Let Arsenal fans gnash their teeth.

no way.

Your grades are not as good as others.

Sometimes you just don’t have the right to speak.

On December 12, the 5th round of the Premier League, Arsenal played Manchester United at home, starting at 13: pm at prime time local time.

It's six o'clock in the afternoon, an hour and a half before the game.

The Emirates Stadium was already packed.

This focus battle is definitely a must-win.

Many local Arsenal fans in North London who have not purchased season tickets cannot buy tickets.

In addition, the commercial operation of the Premier League is very successful, and many fans from all over the world have come to London, which makes the ticket supply quite tight.

Revenge and entering the championship group, these topics make Arsenal fans look forward to this game, excited and nervous.

They hope to see the team end their losing streak against Manchester United at home and continue to climb to the top of the standings!

But they are afraid that losing to Manchester United at home will interrupt the good momentum during this period.

On both sides of the Arsenal bus.

Arsenal fans also waved flags, cartoons of players and various slogans to express their support for the team.

It's been so many years.

A team that once again dazzles Arsenal fans!

Arsenal's players looked to both sides of the road.

At this time, Li Mo suddenly stood up, clenched his fists and said, "Guys, beat them, let's go and compete for the championship!"

He wants to win.

Who isn't?

Many Arsenal players who experienced last season's tragic 8-2 defeat shouted: "Fuck Manchester United! Fight for the title!!!"

Everyone chanted.

Inside the bus.

The atmosphere was very warm.

Wenger was smiling.

This is just great.

Mobilization before the game is omitted.

The team bus entered the parking lot amidst the excited shouts of the players.

In the flashbulbs of reporters.

Everyone held their heads high and strode toward the court.

They want to fight Manchester United to the death at their home court!

Li Mo doesn't care what other players think.

He doesn't care what Wenger thinks.

He didn't want to be timid before the fight started, and he didn't want to surrender before the game even started. This is so embarrassing! !

Drawn to Real Madrid in the Champions League.

People say Arsenal's journey to the Champions League is over.

The league meets Manchester United.

People say Arsenal's good run is coming to an end.

Saw these comments.

Even in the Arsenal dressing room, there are many such "capitulationists".

Fighting for the championship?

The word seems too far away for Arsenal.

Some Arsenal players feel that.

If he can keep his qualification for the Champions League, he will be worthy of the salary given by the club.

This made Li Mo very angry.

He was so angry that he almost exploded.

and so.

At the beginning of the game.

He just gave it his all.

Full of desire to attack.

His first long-range shot outside the penalty area was saved by De Gea.

Arsenal's offense at home, driven by Li Mo, came one after another!

The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium suddenly reached a climax.

"Lee!! Beautiful long-range shot!! Less than a minute into the game, De Gea was tested!!"

"This game has just started, and Li quickly got into the mood! He seemed very excited!"

"This may have something to do with the opponents he faced. When he came to Arsenal, many media ridiculed him as "Van Persie's replacement". But now Lee has overtaken Van Persie in the scorer list!"

The camera gave a close-up of Van Persie.

The Dutch had their hair meticulously styled with hairspray.

It looks very energetic.

"Li Tushe!! Ahhh! De Gea! De Gea! De Gea is amazing!!"

"De Gea's reaction was too quick!!"

"Oh oh oh! De Gea kept a clean sheet! If Manchester United can win this game, De Gea will definitely be the biggest contributor!"

"The game has only started ten minutes, and Arsenal already had three shots! All three were from Li Mo. All three shots hit the goal frame and De Gea made a save!"

"Especially the last shovel shot, De Gea was able to react at such a close distance. It's amazing!"

"Lee's confidence may have been destroyed by De Gea!" the commentator from Manchester United TV said viciously. Of course, he was looking forward to such a scene.

The TV broadcast gave Li Mo a close-up.

Li Mo, who was all ready to celebrate the goal, put his head in his hands.

Staring in disbelief at the football saved by De Gea.

Just now, he received a strong cross pass from full-back Sagna in the penalty area, fell to the ground and shot.

结果

The ball was actually saved by De Gea.

Giroud, Casonia and others also ran over and patted Li Mo.

"It doesn't matter, we still have a chance!"

"Come again!"

Everyone encourages each other.

In this game, Arsenal started off very smoothly.

Almost pressing Manchester United to play.

This completely boosted the confidence of Arsenal's players.

In the next corner kick, Koscielny jumped high and headed the ball slightly higher.

"Arsenal's fourth goal since the start!"

the commentators exclaimed.

"Arsenal's opening attack made Manchester United's defense a little flustered!"

"Ferguson needs to do something."

Ferguson really couldn't sit still.

He came to the sidelines, chewing gum quickly in his mouth, clenching his fists and yelling at the Manchester United players.

He was dissatisfied with the team's defense.

Li Mo actually let Li Mo complete the shot again and again.

If it weren't for De Gea's superb performance.

Now United are behind.

And Ferguson now finds that Arsenal's starting combination is indeed very threatening on the offensive end.

Giroud is responsible for providing confrontation and high-altitude ball control, and can also protect the ball. He is a very good frontcourt fulcrum.

Cazorla and Wilshere are placed in the wide midfielder position, which is equivalent to playing as a bilateral attacking midfielder-meaning that both sides can pass threatening balls into the penalty area.

Arteta controls the team's offensive rhythm in the middle.

And under this system.

All Li Mo needs to do is keep looking for space and complete the last shot!

When Wilshere, Cazorla, and even Arteta, Giroud and others are capable of passing threatening balls.

Li Mo is a forward who is flexible in movement, has a keen sense of smell in front of the goal, and has a strong ability to seize opportunities.

Completely at home.

Don't be too happy.

but

On the offensive end, Arsenal can come up with a very good offense.

But the weakness of their system is defense.

The midfield level is relatively weak.

There are many defensive holes that can be exploited.

Before the game, Ferguson analyzed the defensive difficulties faced by Arsenal's system to his players.

However, this is easy to say, but in practice there are many factors that affect it.

Now Manchester United is under great pressure from Arsenal's powerful attack.

Wave after wave of offensive attacks from the opponent forced Manchester United to passively shrink its defense.

Robin van Persie stood near the center circle.

His strike partner Rooney went back to defense.

So he seems a bit alone now.

And in this situation, even if the ball is passed to Van Persie's feet, he is not the kind of player who can rely on sheer speed to throw off the defense and go to the meeting alone - Van Persie was not slow when he was young, but now the 30-year-old Van Persie does not rely on speed. , he also knows that he can't rely on speed to overpower defenders now.

Now Van Persie relies on his shooting skills and his golden left foot.

But now the ball can't reach his feet.

Jin's left foot is useless.

Wenger was also on the sidelines.

It looked peaceful.

But actually I was very anxious inside.

He knows that Ferguson's team is very resilient.

If they were able to calm down.

Then Arsenal will be out of luck.

He also knows the team's defense has holes.

This is also the reason why Wenger dare not guarantee that he will compete for the championship - if he now has peak Vieira in the midfield, the championship will be competed.

But what he has now is Diaby, and it is Diaby who is used in limited quantities.

Fighting for the championship?

too difficult.

In this game, he still placed his bet on Li Mo.

The bet is that Arsenal will score first!

Just take the lead.

Arsenal will have more room to deal with Manchester United.

But the continuous attacks in the opening stage were resolved by De Gea.

This gave Wenger a bad premonition.

There is not much time left for Arsenal.

Arsenal cannot maintain such a high-pressure situation forever.

Wait until their offense no longer has the suppressive power it had before.

Then Manchester United should counterattack and suppress Arsenal.

Goal! Goal! Goal!
