Chapter 693 Opponent! Tottenham!
The 10th round of the 2016/2017 Premier League season, Sunderland VS Arsenal.
Sunderland has not won a single game in the previous 9 rounds, and is now at the bottom of the standings with a 0-2-7 loss.
As the head coach of Sunderland, Moyes also has a headache.
As Ferguson’s successor, Moyes has moved to La Liga’s Real Sociedad since he left Manchester City, and returned to the Premier League to coach Sunderland this season.
Both parties had previously discussed the transfer matters.
But when Moyes took office, Sunderland’s transfer did not make any progress, nor did it fulfill any promises.
Moyes had no choice but to rely on his connections to recruit old generals such as Pienaar and Anichebe, but these still could not restore the result of the fall of the Black Cat.
In the brutal Premier League, Sunderland is about to face Arsenal.
The confrontation between the top of the points list and the bottom of the points crane.
At the same time, Moyes and Mourinho are the two Manchester United coaches, and the topic is still very big.
But the upset that the public expected did not appear.
Even though Moyes put up a 4-5-1 formation that was almost like a bus, he still couldn’t stop Arsenal’s offensive.
90 minutes of the game passed, Arsenal scored 4 goals, and in the final stage of the game, Sunderland scored a goal to save face.
But this goal can be regarded as slightly waterproof, and it was made under the instruction of the referee.
At the end of the 10th round of the Premier League, Arsenal still won the game, continuing their unbeaten legend in the league.
After the game, Moyes and Mourinho even mentioned some topics about Manchester United in the interview.
Mourinho naturally had no scruples and directly fired at Manchester United.
On the other hand, Moyes’ tone is more tactful, but the resentment in Moyes’ heart can also be heard.
This was a good post-match press conference, but it turned out to be a place where the two head coaches share the same hatred.
After the game, Mourinho even spoke harshly, saying that they will teach Manchester United a good lesson in the 12th round of the league, so that those businessmen who control Manchester United understand what real football is.
After this game, Arsenal went to the Ukrainian division again for the second round of the Europa League match with Solya.
Even in an away game, Arsenal’s performance is still extremely impressive.
In order to give back to the fans, Zorya did not fully adopt a defensive posture. After all, they have basically been eliminated, and they also want to play a good game.
The final game score came to 1:3.
In the first half, in the case of a 1:1 draw between the two sides, Arsenal scored two goals in the second half, completely laying the foundation for the victory of the game.
And Zorya also recognized the result of this game, which basically means that Zorya only has a theoretical chance left.
After the match with Soria, Arsenal hurried back to London.
They will face Tottenham two days later in the famous North London derby.
The intensive schedule puts a certain amount of pressure on Arsenal’s players, but fortunately, the pressure on the Europa League is not high, so Lucky and other main players also got a certain amount of rest time.
Now all eyes in London are on the upcoming North London Derby at the Emirates Stadium.
Tottenham Hotspur led by Pochettino VS Arsenal led by Mourinho!
This is bound to be a battle between dragons and tigers!
Tottenham’s training base is closer to the city center than Arsenal.
For this reason, Arsenal also proposed the idea of relocating the training base, choosing a location one mile closer to the city center than Tottenham’s training base, but in the end it was shelved due to insufficient budget.
However, it can also be seen from this that the two North London teams are competing with each other in every detail.
Of course, compared to Tottenham, Arsenal has a more glorious history.
Therefore, many things can be put on the table. Although the Arsenal fans said that they look down on Tottenham and they are not our sworn enemies, but every game against Tottenham, they can’t wait to go up and have a sliding tackle .
The feud between the two teams has a long history.
In recent years, Tottenham have gradually risen, and last season even kicked Arsenal out of the Champions League qualification, which also caused Arsenal fans to be ridiculed by Tottenham fans.
For this reason, in this game, they want to teach Tottenham a good lesson.
Of course, Tottenham are not that easy to deal with, but so is Arsenal.
In Tottenham’s training base, Pochettino frowned deeply.
The derby is extremely important, and Pochettino also feels extremely headache for this.
Because the ability that Arsenal has shown recently is a bit too strong.
After Mourinho’s transformation, Arsenal changed their playing style, which made Tottenham quite inapplicable.
They have become accustomed to Arsenal’s pass-and-control football. For this reason, Tottenham voluntarily gave up the ball and pressed for it with all their strength.
But now Arsenal is not so obsessed with the ball.
In other words, they can play a threatening offense with or without the ball.
The defense of Hummels and Jimenez on the back line is very solid, and it is difficult to break their defense.
Lukaku on the front line is in a hot state.
Aubameyang’s recent state has also begun to show an upward trend.
Mane is unknown, but he is well integrated into Arsenal’s system, playing the role of a side player, and a strong shot from time to time can also help Arsenal score goals.
The midfield line is the most troublesome.
Arsenal’s midfielder, this is a combination that Manchester City dare not confront head-on.
Just talking about Le Kai alone can fill up the intensity of the midfield.
It can be said that if Tottenham want to get offensive, they must cross the interception and stealing line of Lucky and Kanter.
But is it easy?
And Le Kai is qualified for the two positions of central midfielder and midfielder.
Arsenal can also play differently on this.
These all require Pochettino to study and figure out.
So far, Pochettino can’t find a suitable way to win Arsenal away.
“Eriksen, can you compete with Kai in midfield?”
Pochettino can be regarded as an emergency.
Hearing what the head coach said, Eriksson was silent for a moment and said: “I can try!”
In fact, Eriksson was also suffering.
What kind of midfielder is Lucky?
It’s not once or twice that the two have fought each other. Which time was it that they were not suppressed?
But in the face of the head coach’s questioning, does he dare to say no?
Pochettino also waved his hand, he already understood what the other party meant.
There is a high probability that they will let go of the rhythm of the midfield!
On the other hand, Arsenal’s formation is much simpler.
Due to the advantage of the midfielder, Mourinho can rely on the influence of the midfielder to radiate towards other positions.
Mourinho also asked Lucky if he could get the rhythm of the midfield.
In this regard, Le Kai’s answer is full of confidence.
This also made Mourinho more confident in arranging tactics.
So, having a strong midfield line is extremely important for a team.
Both sides are preparing for the battle intensely.
And the time came to November 6 without knowing it.
In the 11th round of the Premier League, Arsenal played against Tottenham Hotspur at home.
As the recent rise of Tottenham has made the enthusiasm of the fans even higher, the gold content of this derby has also begun to rise.
First of all, it is the confrontation of the fans.
From a few days before the start of the game, fans of both sides began to break out various scenes of scolding and even fighting.
This also made the London police not to be more vigilant and deal with this event carefully.
Around the Emirates Stadium, the activity area for home fans and away fans is clearly planned.
There is a fence in the middle to block off, and heavily armed policemen with three steps and one post are on guard.
But even so, fans from both sides abused and confronted each other across the fence.
Tottenham fans are very dissatisfied with this game, because Arsenal only provided them with less than 2,000 seats.
This caused many Tottenham fans to wait outside the stadium.
But even so, they almost surrounded half of the Emirates Stadium, shouting and cursing with the Arsenal fans on the other side.
And when the buses from both sides arrived, the atmosphere at the scene also ushered in a climax.
“Forward! Arsenal!”
“We are Tottenham! We are invincible!”
“Lukaku!”
“Harry Kane!”
“Aubameyang!”
“Erickson!”
“Mane!!”
“sonnny (Sun Xingmin)!!!”
“Lori!!!—”
“Kay!!!!!!—”
Amidst the nearly competitive cheers of the two sides, players from the two teams walked into the field one after another.
And the hot North London Derby is about to start!
