Chapter 40 Bench Thickness

The injuries of Aubameyang and Robertson were quickly reported to the media.

Arsenal has no intention of hiding it. After all, after the start of the league, the absence of the two main players from the squad will eventually be exposed.

Mourinho briefly explained the injury in an interview with the media and wished Aubameyang and Robertson a quick recovery.

But misfortunes never come singly.

Although Arsenal has taken a series of measures, it is still unable to stop the wave of injuries.

Following Aubameyang and Robertson, Kanter also suffered soleus injuries.

Goalkeeper Martinez also sprained his wrist and needs to rest for some time.

In just one week, Arsenal has lost four main players one after another. It can be said that Arsenal is going through a very difficult time.

The good news is that Lucky and Giroud, the two players in Arsenal's best form currently, are not injured.

But even so, Mourinho must be cautious.

They can't afford to lose any of their main players.

But at this juncture, Arsenal will face Tottenham Hotspur away from home in the fourth round of the league.

At a time when Arsenal was suffering from injuries, Tottenham struck.

This is obviously a very bad time.

But even so, Arsenal have to bite the bullet.

For Tottenham, Arsenal's injury wave is a good thing, and their winning rate will be greatly increased.

Especially for Tottenham fans, they want to take this opportunity to give the hated Arsenal and the traitor Eriksen a powerful look.

Time passed slowly, and soon it came to the fourth round of the 2019/2020 Premier League season.

Tottenham will face Arsenal at home.

In this game, there were some changes in the lineups of both sides.

Tottenham (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Lori.

Defenders: Danny Rose, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Sanchez.

Midfielder: Alli. Winks, Son Heung-min, Sissoko, Lamela.

Forward: Harry Kane.

Arsenal (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Buffon.

Defenders: Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Monreal.

Midfielder: Eriksen, Lucky, Xhaka.

Forwards: Saka, Giroud, Mane.

"Arsenal lost Aubameyang, Robertson, Kante and goalkeeper Martinez in this game. Four consecutive main players suffered injuries. This caused some changes in Arsenal's situation. Can they resist this change? The pressure caused is also a key factor!”

After Andy Gray finished speaking, Richard added: "Last season, Arsenal fought on three fronts. The Champions League, League and FA Cup have consumed a lot of their physical energy. Although they won the five crowns, the overall performance The state has been destroyed once, and this season, Arsenal is still choosing to fight on multiple fronts, and this accumulation of fatigue has also brought injuries. "

"In other words, this is inevitable. It now depends on how Arsenal can use its current lineup to withstand changes caused by injuries."

The Arsenal players looked a little more solemn.

On the one hand, there is the problem of teammates being injured, and on the other hand, it is the derby match. Tottenham will definitely not make it easy for them.

Among them, Erikson is also a little weird at heart.

Until last season, these players around him were his teammates, but this season, he has switched to his archrival.

There were waves of insults to him coming from the scene, and Eriksen was mentally prepared for this.

He never expected that after joining Arsenal, he would not be scolded by Tottenham fans.

It was normal to be scolded, but what he wanted most at the moment was to win and tell everyone that his choice was not wrong.

"Giroud shoots!

!

"

Andy Gray exclaimed loudly, and then said excitedly:

"After the game started, Arsenal's offense continued. They seemed not to be disturbed by injuries at all. Saka and Xhaka were perfectly integrated into the team, especially with Giroud's outstanding form. Arsenal The offensive is still extremely threatening!”

Richard added; "Not only that, Arsenal's midfielder still firmly holds the initiative due to the outstanding performance of Eriksen and Kay."

In this game, not only Giroud, but Eriksen's performance was also extremely outstanding.

Perhaps out of eagerness to prove himself, Eriksen played very hard.

And this situation gradually caused Arsenal's offense, connected by Eriksen, to hit Tottenham's defense like waves like a sea wave.

Tottenham's defensive pressure is constantly increasing.

This also shocked Tottenham fans at the stadium, and they couldn't help but question it.

Why is Eriksen playing so well?

Even as people who hate Eriksen, they can feel that Arsenal's overall offense is driven by Eriksen.

They really want to put the credit on Lucky, but so far, Lucky has been in the middle and behind, mainly responsible for defense, while Eriksen is responsible for the offense in the frontcourt.

Under such circumstances, Tottenham fans not only began to have some ideas.

Is it really Tottenham that is limiting Eriksen's performance?

Even Tottenham players think so.

Seeing Eriksen playing like a fish in the Arsenal lineup, the bad habits and mistakes before no longer appear, but instead continue to create offensive opportunities for Arsenal.

The beneficial distribution and series greatly increase the offensive ability of the striker.

With the support of sufficient artillery shells, Giroud's overall state once again ushered in an explosive stage.

This also made it difficult for Tottenham to deal with.

"To stop that Frenchman, we must restrict him!"

Lori shouted loudly.

From the beginning of the game, Giroud has never stopped threatening Tottenham's goal.

Therefore, Lori felt a huge sense of pressure under the shot.

If Giroud cannot be restricted, it will only be a matter of time before he scores.

But then again, how can it be so easy to restrict Giroud!

At this time, Arsenal's attack came again.

Saka got the ball on the wing. As a young player, Saka is very aggressive. Although he is not as sharp as Aubameyang, he is reckless enough.

Sanchez was in a hurry when facing Saka.

This was due to Saka's nimble feet and movements that made him extremely embarrassed.

The rise of young players is bound to have some foils.

Sanchez didn't want to be that foil, so he began to use some physical pressure on Saka, hoping to make the young man quit.

But Saka is obviously a tough guy.

There was no intention of retreating at all. Instead, he kept moving the ball left and right with his feet, looking for opportunities to break through.

Even if Sanchez goes up to hit him, Saka is ready to make a breakthrough at any time.

Just when Sanchez was about to push Saka to the wing again, he saw Saka moving the ball to the left and standing sideways.

Sanchez thought Saka was going to pass the ball and was delighted.

But the next second, Saka pulled the ball, quickly waded for it, and squeezed towards the sideline.

"Saka completes the breakthrough!

"

The commentator also cheered loudly.

After Saka completed the breakthrough, he just raised his head and glanced, and then the instep of his right foot made a sharp arc.

The ball bypassed Vertonghen, who retreated to slide, and fell to the center.

In this position, Giroud just made a shovel shot and drove the ball into the goal.

28 minutes.

Arsenal took the lead in scoring in successive attacks.

With this goal, Arsenal's advantage was guaranteed.

"Giroud scores!

! Arsenal scored first!

"

"God! They don't seem to be affected by injuries at all. Even if four main players are absent, Arsenal still plays excellent offensive coordination!"

"Whether it is offensive or defensive, Arsenal does not have any big problems. This is the ability of Arsenal's bench. Even if the main player is injured, Arsenal can quickly replenish personnel and make up for the lack of combat power!"

In this game, young player Saka also performed extremely well, which also attracted great attention to him.

In fact, Saka has been identified by many media as one of Arsenal's future stars.

Judging from the current situation, Saka's growth seems to be even faster.

Of course, this is also the result of a strong team.

Tottenham conceded a goal at home and fell behind, which was a huge blow to morale.

But at the same time, they have a bigger problem to solve, and that is the chaotic midfield.

After Eriksen left, Tottenham's midfield became extremely chaotic.

Pochettino hopes that Alli can take on part of the organizational work, but obviously, Alli's performance is not enough to fill the vacancy left by Eriksen.
