"North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham. Friends who are surfing the Internet, I am Fan Zhiyi, a guest reporter from Ah Fei Watch Football. Hehe, I know you must be surprised to see me, oops, there is no way, I didn't get it Tickets, I had to sell myself to Brother Fei in exchange for tickets to this crucial battle.
Haha, anyway, I am the reporter you see today. Okay, without further ado, now you can see Tottenham’s home stadium, White Hart Lane, right behind me. "
"North London belongs to Tottenham!"
"Glory to White Hart Lane!"
"Arsenal's time is over!"
"Glory, Glory, Tottenham Hotspur!"
The sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear.
Fan Zhiyi, wearing a red POLO shirt, stood in front of the crowded White Hart Lane stadium.
There was a dense flow of people behind him. He stood in front of the camera and held a microphone, and his back was occasionally bumped by the overcrowded crowd.
Listening to the Tottenham fans behind him waving flags and shouting all kinds of provocative words, Fan Zhiyi looked at the camera and smiled: "I believe that I don’t need to say anything at this time, everyone should already be able to feel the local fans’ support for this. The enthusiasm for this north London derby was exaggerated.
But to be honest, in this game, I don’t know whether Tottenham fans should laugh or cry.
In the opening show of the Premier League, they ran into Arsenal, the weakest team in recent years. They have a great opportunity to avenge their disgrace at their home court.
But Tottenham fans are uncomfortable here. They were old neighbors of similar level before, but now they can only pick up the slack and do something about it.
This is mainly because since Mr. Wenger took over Arsenal in the 1997 season, the North London Derby has actually existed in name only.
Under the leadership of Mr. Wenger, Arsenal won the first Premier League championship in team history in the 9798 season, and then won the second and third titles in the 0102 and 0304 seasons.
During this period, Tottenham were still struggling to find a spot in the European war. In the 2004 season, they even fell to 14th in the league and almost entered the relegation zone.
As Arsenal's financial crisis broke out in 2004, I remember that I came to London at that time, and the Tottenham fans at that time were extremely excited, celebrating Arsenal's impending collapse.
But everyone knows what happened later. In 0405, this Arsenal man fell from the sky.
With four years of sincerity, Mr. Wenger transferred the Pampas eagle with its wings that covered the sky from Camp Nou in the warm evening breeze at a price of 20 million euros that is now called a "robbery transaction" by countless commentators. Brought to a thundercloud-filled Highbury.
The stronger the wind and waves, the higher the eagle flies!
Well, this paragraph was written by our copywriter.
I, the old fan, can't say such pretentious words, haha, okay, let's get back to the topic.
Having won the Champions League twice in three years, Arsenal has already left their old neighbor Tottenham behind, but!
With Modric and Hummels leaving the team one after another this summer, coupled with Henry's aging, Arsenal is going through a turbulent period, while Tottenham just won fifth place in the league last season, and the entire team presents a comparison. An obvious upward trend.
So, will Tottenham kill Arsenal and regain their reputation as the king of North London, or will Arsenal remain stubborn?
Coincidentally, we happened to meet a king-level figure in the Chinese music scene who came to London to watch the competition today. Let's listen to his views. "
"Oh, don't say that you are not a king, I am very shy. Haha, hello everyone, I am Jaylen."
The camera turned, and amid the exclamations of countless fans in front of the TV, Jay Chou, wearing a floral shirt and big pants and a hip-hop look, made a camera gesture and appeared in front of the camera.
Fan Zhiyi smiled and said: "We didn't expect to meet Jay here at all. I wonder if you can get me an autograph or something later? Many children in my family like to listen to your songs."
"Of course that's no problem. For a warrior like Uncle Fan who has brought glory to the country, he will naturally get as many signatures as he wants."
"Haha, Jay's character is really interesting. Okay, let's get back to the topic. Oh, by the way, I don't know which team Jay supports yet."
Fan Zhiyi handed the microphone to Jay Chou. Jay Chou smiled and picked up the red and white scarf around his neck: "Of course it is Arsenal. Mr. Chen Mo is my idol. A few years ago, he and Messi released the world-beating sneakers. I wrote all the promotional songs."
"That's it, then it seems that we are in the same camp. Haha, then, what do you think about the next game?"
Fan Zhiyi smiled and handed the microphone to Jay Chou again, and Jay Chou smiled and tickled his earlobes: "Actually, to be honest, I'm quite nervous.
I actually took the time to come to the UK to watch three games last year, but Arsenal lost all three games. I feel like I will always bring bad luck to Arsenal. "
"Hahaha, it's not that bad. Which game impressed you the most?"
"The game that impressed me the most was probably four months ago. In April, we played West Ham United at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal led by two goals in the first half of that game. Later, they might be preparing for the Champions League. Chen Mohan Henry has been replaced."
"Oh, you said that game, I watched it too. Arsenal collapsed at the last moment and were chased by three goals in twenty minutes, right?"
When Fan Zhiyi said that he had watched the same game, Jay Chou became more interested: "Yes, yes, it was that game. Oops, at that time, I really saw the French fries falling to the ground. I was so excited." Silly.
So, Mr. Chen Mo is really important to this Arsenal. Not only is he extremely strong personally, but he can also play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army on the court. You can clearly feel that when he is not present, Arsenal are completely two teams in terms of temperament, right? "
"Indeed, Chen Mo is a typical leader player. When he is on the court, let alone a player, we fans watching the game will feel very at ease. So, let's talk about your score prediction for this game?"
Fan Zhiyi showed a mean smile on his face and handed the microphone over. Jay Chou put his hands in his pockets and smiled the same way: "To be honest, although I am a fan of Mr. Chen Mo, before this game, I saw news reports that Mr. Henry was training My calf muscle was injured and I was told to be out of action for a month.
I think this is a very heavy blow to Arsenal's entire tactical system, and the referee of this game is Atkinson.
This referee has always been known for his lightness in enforcement, so I think it’s a one-to-one comparison. "
"One to one, a very conservative guess."
"The main reason is that the score this time is difficult to guess. Mr. Henry retired from injury, Arsenal had both wings flying together, Giroud acted as a wall in front, and Mr. Chen Mo's sudden style of play in the middle could not be played.
With Mr. Wenger's radical tactical style, I feel that he is likely to take the initiative to make changes when encountering this situation. After all, Mr. Henry is also thirty-one years old. But if, even if new tactics are adopted, the team will still need a running-in period. "
"Tsk tsk, it seems that Jaylen still has some research on football. Okay, the time is almost up. Next, all netizens will follow our camera and walk into the White Hart Lane Stadium."
.
A sunny and breezy summer day.
The weather is very nice, perfect for a warm nap, but the White Hart Lane stadium at this time does not feel comfortable at all.
"Kill the broken factory!"
"Bale is in the starting lineup?! Arsenal has no one available!"
"Watch your ankles! Chen Mo!"
"A 30,000-seat stadium is also called a stadium?! Shabby White Hart Lane!"
"We have two Champions Leagues, what do you have?! You can't even qualify for the European Championships!"
"Chen Mo will completely destroy you!"
"Chen Mo?! What can he do?! Now there is no Messi or Henry around him! He will soon reveal his true colors!"
"Fake Squidward!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the smell of gunpowder is really strong."
The whole stadium was filled with all kinds of shouts and curses. Before the game even started, fans from both sides were already mad at each other.
Countless fans waved their team's flags, and the entire stadium turned into a sea of red and white.
Feeling the hot atmosphere, Tommy, the host in the commentary box, wearing headphones and holding BBC Premier League Football, felt a little emotional.
Next to him, his partner Old Jack smiled and said: "Of course, this is a North London derby after all, and this year's Arsenal is indeed much weaker than in previous years based on their paper strength."
"Yes, Modric's departure has a great impact on Arsenal, not to mention Henry is injured and retired. I don't know how Mr. Wenger will deal with this situation."
"Let me tell you, I think Arsenal will probably play more conservatively in this game, or even directly play a defensive counterattack."
"Yes, their problem now is that their players are too young. With 18-year-old Bale, 19-year-old Di Maria and 21-year-old Giroud, the average age of their forwards is only over 19 years old! This is too exaggerated. .”
"Being too young is one aspect, but the real key is actually the departure of Modric and Henry's injury.
The prerequisite for playing offensive football is that the ball is at your feet and the team must be able to control the ball.
Now Henry cannot play, and Bell's footwork is not delicate enough. Arsenal's only ball-holding point on the front line is Di Maria.
But because of Henry's injury and Bell's lack of sharpness, Di Maria will be more closely monitored.
He is not strong enough and does not have Chen Mo's almost unique talent in history. It is also difficult to hold the ball under high pressure.
Arsenal had almost no points where they could control the ball up front.
This creates a chain reaction.
The direct impact of the forward's inability to hold the ball is that the midfielder will face stronger defensive pressure, but Modric is also gone.
I don’t think Arsenal’s current midfielder has a player who can perfectly replace Modric. Whether it’s Flamini, the new Rakitic or Nasri, they don’t have the skills to perform in the Premier League. The ability to control the ball stably.
Therefore, in the end all the ball control pressure will flow to Chen Mo.
It was like a sunken depression, and all the pressure would press on Chen Mo like water.
If he can control the ball, Arsenal can still play offensive football. If he cannot control the ball, Arsenal can only play defensive football.
However, I can think of things that professional teams like Tottenham can also think of, so Tottenham will definitely play very brutally in this game. They will definitely strangle Chen Mo in the midfield, and it is impossible to let them even lose a red card. Chen Mo was relaxed.
In this case, I think Arsenal may choose to hand over the ball and start a defensive counterattack. "
Old Jack rambled on, but he was right.
Tommy nodded, but then raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Playing defensive counterattack is indeed a good choice for Arsenal. After all, Berdi Maria and Chen Mo have very strong impact, and their counterattacks are very lethal.
But Arsenal's trademark is offensive football, and Mr. Wenger's trademark is offensive football. Therefore, I personally think they will not directly use defensive counterattacks in the opening stage. "
"Yes, so it all depends on whether Chen Mo can withstand the pressure. To be honest, this is actually the first time he has led a team as an absolute single-core player. There are many people outside who want to see his jokes."
"That's right, but it's not just people who are ready to watch the joke, there are also many people who support Arsenal. The scene on the sidelines just now, if I read it correctly, it seems to be Miss Scarlett Johansson?"
"Haha, yes, she is a die-hard fan of Chen Mo. I heard that she previously announced on MMC that she was willing to give Chen Mo a try, but so far Chen Mo has not responded."
"Hahaha, it's interesting. I wonder if Chen Mo will be more motivated to play with such a beautiful woman cheering for him. Okay, now the players from both sides have entered the court. Let's return the camera to the scene!"
.
"Is this woman really attracted to me?"
As soon as he stepped on the turf of White Hart Lane, Chen Mo heard the crisp and sweet sound of cheering coming from his ears.
Turning around, I saw it was Scarlett with the Arsenal logo on her face cheering on the sidelines.
Several black lines were drawn on Chen Mo's forehead.
The widowed sister is not only beautiful, but also charming, otherwise a certain idiot would not have said "Scarlett, I want to drink your bath water".
But Chen Mo had no interest.
In his mind, Keli was even sexier and more beautiful than the widowed sister. She was two sizes too big just for the snowy mountain, and she could squeeze it in with one hand and it would overflow.
What's more, the women who want to sleep with him, Chen Mo, can really be queued from London all the way to Dragon Kingdom.
"Hey! What are you thinking about! Concentrate! Concentrate!"
Shaking his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his head, Chen Mo returned his attention to the court. While adjusting the captain's armband, he walked towards the referee, preparing to toss a coin.
And this scene was also projected on camera in front of all the fans around the world who were paying attention to this game.
The opening game of the Premier League is already very interesting, not to mention that this game is a North London derby.
What's more, the commentator is right, this is indeed Chen Mo's first time leading a single-core team in an absolute sense!
Not only Jay Chou and Fan Zhiyi, but also celebrities like Chen Mo, such as Widow Sister, came to the scene to cheer.
All fans around the world who like Chen Mo and Arsenal, even Ferguson, Mourinho, Guardiola and Ancelotti who are sitting in front of the TV to watch the game are looking forward to this game!
But the coach and the fans expect different directions.
Fans expect Arsenal to win, but the coaches don't care about winning or losing!
They just want to know one thing - whether Chen Mo can bear it!
Especially Ferguson!
Sitting in front of the TV, looking at Chen Mo's face, he was chewing gum quickly in his mouth!
Looking forward to it yet nervous!
In his mind, this year is the year that Manchester United will achieve results!
Although the outside media had been hyping that Arsenal would fall into a trough before the game, as an old rival who had been fighting with Wenger for ten years, he always had a deep fear of Wenger!
And how to judge whether Arsenal is still a threat?
It's very simple, it depends on whether Chen Mo can bear it!
yes!
Chen Mo can't handle it. Arsenal can also play defensive counterattack, but being able to play and being able to play at the top are two different things!
Wenger is not a coach who specializes in defensive counterattacks, and Chen Mo himself is not proficient in defensive counterattacks.
If Arsenal cannot play the offensive football they are familiar with and instead force a defensive counterattack, it will be difficult to truly threaten Manchester United in the end.
Whether Arsenal can play offensive football depends on whether Chen Mo can withstand the pressure in the next ninety minutes!
Whether it can resist Tottenham means whether Arsenal can continue to play offensive football?
It sounds ridiculous, but it’s true!
Spurs didn't even qualify for Europe last season, but they were fifth in the league.
The Premier League is fifth in the league, and to be honest, it is really not weak.
What's more, Tottenham and Arsenal are mortal enemies. With the support of the home whistle, Tottenham will definitely play very savagely, and the referee is still Atkinson, who has a lenient penalty standard!
The pressure Chen Mo faces is definitely no less than against any top team!
As long as Chen Mo can resist the pressure, it means that Arsenal can still play offensive football. At most, they can make fine adjustments to prevent them from completely losing their direction and falling into a trough!
"Come on, let me see if Arsenal this year is qualified to be our opponent against Manchester United!"
Seeing Chen Mo on the screen who had gone to the center circle waiting to serve, Ferguson chewed gum faster and faster!
