The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 490
In the past many, many years, whenever it came to the North London derby, it was always Tottenham Hotspur fans with that kind of sour remarks to irritate Arsenal, because they have the best players and the best players. Stadium, the best training ground, but also because they are still chasing the league title.

But since Ye Qiu came to the team, in the past two seasons, the situation has been quietly reversed.

What's interesting is that these two seasons also happened to be the two seasons when Arsenal's financial situation was the lowest. The team almost embraced a transfer strategy of only going out but not getting in, which made Arsenal always be defeated by the leading team early every season. leave it alone.

It seems that this season, they have fallen to the fifth place in the league early, and this also takes into account Arsenal's habit for many years, that is, the record before the winter break is usually better than after the winter break many.

So many times in the past, Arsenal's results before the winter break were either far ahead or kept at the forefront, but now they have fallen to fifth. This is definitely a report card that makes all Arsenal fans panic.

Looking at the current Arsenal lineup, it can almost be described as horrible.

After sending away Henry, Vieira, Gilberto Silva, Hleb and other stars successively, Arsenal's current lineup is either veterans or teenagers, with almost no core layer.

It's like the starting lineup for this game, goalkeeper Almunia, defense Clichy, Gallas, Sylvester and Sagna, midfielder Nasri, Denilson , Arteta and Walcott, the forwards are Adebayor and Bendtner, except for Adebayor, there are almost no popular stars.

Both Gallas and Sylvester are considered Premier League stars, but unfortunately, they have both entered the twilight years of their careers.

On the contrary, Tottenham Hotspur looked strong and strong.

The goalkeeper is the Czech goalkeeper, Peter Cech, who is known as the number one in the Premier League, the defense line is Arbeloa, Kompany, Thiago Silva and Alves, and the midfielder is still David Silva The combination of Watts, Yaya Toure and Cesc Fabregas, the front trident is Gareth Bale, Robin van Persie and Messi.

Franck Ribery has already returned to participate in the team's joint training, but Ye Qiu has not arranged for him to enter the squad for the game, otherwise, Tottenham Hotspur's lineup will be even more star-studded.

Before the start of this game, almost all professionals were not optimistic about Arsenal. In addition to Tottenham Hotspur's strength, there is another very important reason that Arsenal's current situation is not ideal.

The team's midfield lacks a midfielder like Flamini, which has become a consensus. Recently, Wenger has more trust in young players such as Denilson and Diaby. Alexander Song is not yet ready to play as the main force, but No matter who it is, it is obvious that Flamini can't fill the vacancy.

When the midfield is unbalanced, the problem of the back line is exposed, especially the left back Clichy, who has almost become the object of dissatisfaction among many players of the team, because he always becomes the target of the opponent's key attack in this position.

In fact, Arsenal did think about introducing Yaya Toure before, especially before Tottenham Hotspur played the first game of the Champions League. At that time, Wenger wanted to pay 1000 million to 500 million The price was about [-] yuan to win the Ivorian, but the offer was directly rejected by Ye Qiu.

As for Arsenal's pursuit, following Ye Qiu's away game against Yaya Toure in Marseille, the news that Ye Qiu threatened to sell Yaya Toure became heated again. Arsenal is also secretly contributing to the flames, hoping to get the Ivorian at a more affordable price.

But Ye Qiu once again refused to let Yaya Toure go, and the player himself didn't think about transferring, so in this rumor, Arsenal hardly gained anything, especially when Yaya Toure recently After time has become more and more stable, everyone knows that the possibility of Tottenham Hotspur releasing people is very slim.

This is why Wenger said before that if the price is 500 million euros, he will consider introducing it, but this is obviously impossible. He also gave up the idea of ​​​​wanting to get Yaya Toure , turn to seek other players.

But the dissatisfaction within the Arsenal team has reached a critical point. Many players in the team, including Adebayor and captain Gallas, are obviously dissatisfied with Arsenal's lack of ambition. After the team drew away with Sunderland in the seventh round, they bombarded the team, thinking that this is definitely not a team that can win the championship.

This shelling incident caused a lot of media hype at the time, but it gradually subsided with Arsenal's two consecutive victories, but everyone knows that the interior of Arsenal's dressing room is no longer monolithic.

In terms of weather, Tottenham Hotspur's current momentum is almost invincible. Although Arsenal have won two consecutive victories, they played very hard during the game; When people and parties are at an absolute disadvantage, can the situation be reversed by relying on geographical advantages alone?
Obviously, everyone is hopeless. Even before the game, Jonathan Wilson, a very famous tactical columnist in England, analyzed in his column that Tottenham Hotspur only need to seize two points to beat Arsenal. Come to fight, the Gunners have almost no ability to resist, that is the frontier of the penalty area.

The reason is simple. Arteta is good at organizing and passing the ball. Denilson has contributed a lot to offense, but he is not good at doing dirty work. Judging from the current situation, Alexander Song does not yet have the strength to play the main force , and his technique is also a problem, a bit rough, turning a bit slow.

To use Jonathan Wilson's words, Tottenham Hotspur don't need to think about other things, they just press up at the beginning of the game, give Arsenal a fat beating, directly press and beat, and make a fuss around the front of the penalty area .

Just imagine, what even Jonathan Wilson knew, would Ye Qiu not know?

At the beginning of the game, Tottenham Hotspur launched an offensive attack mainly against the guest. In terms of offense, the current Arsenal team can't catch up with Tottenham Hotspur, so Tottenham Hotspur's offensive will soon be over. Suppressed Arsenal.

In the 13th minute of the game, Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yaya Toure passed the ball. Gareth Bale suddenly volleyed vigorously when he was more than 30 meters away from the goal. The powerful volley knocked directly at Almunia's goal. The Spanish goalkeeper's position was too high, and Arsenal's midfielder was a bit too big.

In fact, with the foot strength of professional players and the constantly improving ball speed, the effective shooting distance has been expanded to 30 meters, or even beyond 30 meters. As long as the goalkeeper's position is not good enough, he can shoot long shots from 30 meters away There are countless players, not to mention explosive players like Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo.

This wonderful world wave completely shattered the fantasies of [-] Arsenal fans in the stands. It used bloody goals to tell and remind Arsenal fans, at least in the eyes of Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal Nana is no longer on their minds, because Tottenham Hotspur's goal is the Premier League championship and the Champions League, not the top four in the league!
If it was just this one goal, maybe no one would have noticed the problem, but soon, in the No. 207 minute, Fabregas scored the ball to the right, and Messi took the ball from the right and cut inward. On the right side of the arc top of the penalty area, he hit a curve ball and hit the upper left corner of the goal, 2:0!

It's a big penalty area again, and it's a midfielder position again!

All Arsenal players are aware of the problem, and they all know that they can't continue to play like this, otherwise they will suffer a lot, especially in the recent period, Tottenham Hotspur, whose feet are so hard, really continue If this continues, it may become the second Bayern Munich.

Wenger immediately made adjustments, but still could not reverse the situation. In the 403rd minute of the first half, Gareth Bale tried to break through Sarnia but failed, and passed back to David Silva, the Spaniard After passing Arteta who was defending him, he passed through the penalty area. Van Persie easily caught the ball and made a push, 3:0!

There is almost no gimmick, no pity, no sympathy, just one goal after another, making all Gunners fans realize that they are so far away from the top Premier League team!
Wenger made adjustments in the second half, replacing Bendtner with Alexander Song to strengthen the midfield defense, especially the midfielder position, but Tottenham Hotspur's offensive remained unabated.

In the No.609 minute, Clichy made a mistake and passed the ball directly to Messi's feet. The Argentine didn't hesitate at all, and directly dribbled the ball into the penalty area, passed Almunia and then pushed the goal, 4:0 !

In the No. 709 minute, Yaya Toure suddenly made a long-range shot. The ball hit the crossbar and bounced back to the penalty area. Van Persie flew the header and Messi dexterously shot in front of the goal, breaking Arsenal's goal again, and Staged a hat trick, 5:0!

Consecutive scoring and consecutive goals, especially Messi's hat-trick, made all the Gunners fans dumbfounded, and made the original 2000 Tottenham Hotspur fans, who were originally only a handful, the absolute protagonists in the stands!

Messi, who performed a hat-trick, rushed out of the stadium excitedly and rushed to the stands where the Tottenham fans were. Along the way, Tottenham players rushed up, hugged and celebrated with Messi, and everyone Everyone is satisfied, excited and excited that the team can slaughter Arsenal with a big score at the Emirates Stadium.

Although in the final moment of the game, Arsenal relied on Arteta's pass, Adebayor broke through Cech's goal and scored a face-saving goal, but in the end Tottenham could not stop Tottenham Hotspur. A big win at the Emirates Stadium.

5:1, this score made almost all the Gunners fans present feel angry and dissatisfied. Many fans even booed the home team players. They felt that playing such a score at the Emirates Stadium It's definitely a humiliation.

Fans' protests and boos were overwhelming, while Tottenham Hotspur players and fans left the Emirates Stadium with a satisfactory result of the game. There were countless Tottenham Hotspur fans from Tottenham in the north The Mu area went south and came to the Emirates Stadium to welcome the team's triumphant return, which aroused the extreme dissatisfaction of Arsenal fans.

Outside the Emirates Stadium, fans of both sides even had a conflict. Fortunately, the police were prepared and quickly separated the fans of both sides, but two fans were still injured in the conflict.

After the game, Wenger said at the press conference that it was a disaster, a disaster for everyone at Arsenal.

But Ye Qiu said that he had a premonition about the victory of this game. Before the game, he firmly believed that the team would be able to win a victory at the Emirates Stadium, but he also felt that such a big victory was indeed a bit unexpected. unexpected.

However, this big victory of Tottenham Hotspur failed to change the current ranking of the Premier League standings. Liverpool also defeated Portsmouth 1-0 in this round and continued to lead the Premier League standings. Nam Tottenham ranked second because of one less game.

But being able to beat their rivals 5:1, Tottenham Hotspur's crazy scoring momentum in recent times still surprised everyone, especially in the 4:0 victory over Bayern Munich and the 5:1 victory Arsenal, the opponents are not bad, and Tottenham Hotspur played such a crazy attack, so that all fans feel that this team still has a lot to do this season.

It seems that not only the fans think that Tottenham Hotspur has great potential, but even the selection of major annual awards in European football supports this view. Tottenham Hotspur became the big winner.

This is a selection that started in 2003. Players elected to the European Golden Boy Award include Van der Vaart, Rooney, Ribery, Messi, Fabregas and Aguero. This year's Golden Boy Award attracted attention again.

The Premier League has the largest number of players. Tottenham Hotspur contributed four players including Ramsey, Gareth Bale, Marcelo, and Andy Carroll, while Arsenal had Volko. Three players, Bendtner and Bella, plus young players from Premier League teams such as Manchester United and Chelsea, bring the total number of Premier League players to 11.

Among all the candidates, Gareth Bale, who replaced Franck Ribery this season, is the most popular candidate for Tottenham Hotspur, even surpassing AC Milan's Pato and Inter Milan's Balotelli, and Ajax winger Di Maria who helped Argentina win the Olympic championship.

Especially with the recent outstanding performance of Tottenham Hotspur, Gareth Bale has also scored goals non-stop, and his performance is quite standard, although many professionals still feel that his style of play is too tough, Lack of change, a little too much pursuit of strength and explosiveness, but after all, he is still quite young and has great potential.

Ramsey is called the new Cesc Fabregas. The Welshman has exquisite skills, passing and organizational skills. He and Andy Carroll were shortlisted because of their outstanding performance in the cup. Especially Andy Carroll, the outside world has already begun to put pressure on Ye Qiu about when this England center forward will become the main force.

In the eyes of many media and England fans, the combination of Andy Carroll and Rooney will be the hope of England's strikers in the next ten years, and Andy Carroll's performance in the cup is also very amazing, especially He scored twice when he played Newcastle, but he can only serve as a substitute in the league, and his performance is relatively average.

Marcelo played left back. After being polished by Ajax and adapting to the technical and tactical style of European football, and after coming to Tottenham Hotspur, he has always been positioned as a left back. It is also very big and has been integrated into Tottenham Hotspur's tactical system. After leaving Vargas this season, he competed with Arbeloa for the position of the main left back, and his performance is also good.

In addition to the European Golden Boy Award, French Football has also announced a list of 30 candidates for the European Golden Globe Award. After the base miracle, many players from the team were shortlisted for this list.

Among them, Ribery, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Messi are the most promising players in the club to win this award. If Ribery hadn't been injured in the Champions League final, he would have missed most of the second half of the year. For some games, he should be well-deserved, but for the French who has not yet returned to the game, it may be difficult to win this award.

Cristiano Ronaldo's performance last season was indeed very eye-catching. In the final, he deducted some points, but he also scored. However, his performance in the second half of the year was much worse than that in the first half. On the contrary, Tottenham The stabbing Messi, after Franck Ribery was absent in the second half of the year, he filled the gap left by Ribery very well and propped up the banner of Tottenham Hotspur's offensive football.

Kaka's performance in the past year was indeed unable to compete with these three players, and he did not achieve any outstanding results, but he was the winner of the European Ballon d'Or last year, so many people think that Kaka should also be popular One of the candidates.

There are several other popular candidates are Xavi and Iker Casillas from Spain. These two players who helped Spain win the European Cup this summer are considered to be the candidates most likely to upset, especially as the captain of Spain. Casillas, many people feel that he has the opportunity to win this award as the captain of the championship team like Cannavaro.

The announcement date of the European Golden Globe Awards has not yet arrived, but the French Football Magazine has already started to promote and promote, and the list of candidates for the World Footballer has also been announced, which is basically the same as the list of candidates announced by the French Football Magazine.

Tottenham Hotspur have played offensive football in the past two years, attracting the attention of countless fans. In addition, the club pays attention to promotion and publicity, and the media attention is also quite high. These are the players shortlisted for this list And lay a solid foundation, and Tottenham Hotspur fans are full of expectations and excitement for the club to cultivate the first World Footballer or European Footballer in history.
