"Tottenham are not used to being favorites in games like this, and I think it will put a lot of pressure on them." When asked by reporters who was more optimistic about winning the North London derby, Sol Campbell had no idea. He gave the answer hesitantly, "So I believe that the winner of this game will still be our Arsenal! Because we are a mature championship team! As for Tottenham? Haha, don't look at where they are in the standings now There are only two points less than us, but they actually only rely on other teams' lack of familiarity with their style of play and enthusiasm to be ranked second in the standings, just like Southampton and Manchester City before. .When their true identity is revealed and the energy they had at the beginning of the season is exhausted, Tottenham's good days will be over."
Campbell has a reason for saying this. You know, since 1994, Tottenham has never been higher in the league rankings than Arsenal. In terms of the league record between the two teams, Arsenal also has an absolute advantage. Especially in the past three years, Tottenham have never even beaten Arsenal in the league!
The two advantages of league ranking and head-to-head record undoubtedly gave Arsenal enough confidence to attack and ridicule Tottenham before the game.
The reason why Campbell dared to be so confident and outspoken in an interview with a reporter from The Times was naturally because in terms of the record of the two teams, Tottenham was too miserable, and Arsenal was too miserable. There is a natural psychological advantage to this confrontation; on the other hand, this is also a strategy of Wenger. After all, Tottenham's momentum at the beginning of this season is still quite fierce, and their eight-game winning streak has made everyone who looked down on Tottenham before the season look up to them with admiration. Although a draw against Bolton in the last round ended the winning streak, everyone could see that Tottenham actually had hope of winning that game. Coupled with the lessons learned from Liverpool and Chelsea, who have already suffered defeat at Tottenham Hotspur this season, Wenger actually lacks confidence for this derby battle with Tottenham Hotspur.
Therefore, under Wenger's secret instruction, Arsenal players took the initiative to provoke a war of words before the game, trying to undermine the Tottenham players' confidence in winning before the game started, disrupting the opponent's mood and pre-match preparations, and making their own players feel uncomfortable. Establish certain advantages in psychology and pre-game preparation.
However, as a player who came from Tottenham's youth training and gradually grew into a top central defender at White Hart Lane, Sol Campbell took the initiative to belittle his home team in the interview. This approach is obviously inappropriate.
Of course, from Campbell's own point of view, this is obviously understandable. After all, he is now an Arsenal player, so he naturally wants to help Arsenal build momentum. However, Arsenal fans did not appreciate Campbell's move very much. On the contrary, his remarks deepened their dislike of Campbell - you know, Arsenal fans have never dismissed this player who defected from rival Tottenham. The England international who came over regarded him as one of his own, and only regarded him as a traitor who came to hug his thigh.
Even if he refuses Tottenham's high salary to retain him, people can also understand the desire of a top defender like Campbell to win the championship trophy. However, Campbell's move to his local rival Arsenal on a free transfer, and his continued disparagement of his old club and parent club after the transfer, was a bit too much, and exceeded the bottom line that people could bear.
In the eyes of Tottenham fans, Campbell is undoubtedly a traitor and Judas; in the eyes of Arsenal fans, they also cannot accept Campbell, a player from Tottenham who also has serious character problems. Therefore, neither Tottenham nor Arsenal fans will look favorably upon Campbell's statement this time.
"'...I am very dissatisfied with Tottenham fans calling me Judas. Because I did not choose to leave Tottenham for money, but to pursue the championship trophy, so I decided to join Arsenal...' Campbell is really a traitor He is so eloquent that he can talk about things like defecting to his mortal enemy so confidently." After reading the interview about Campbell, George sneered and threw the Times in his hand on the coffee table in front of him, knocking over a piece of glass. , "Since Wenger doesn't intend to play well and still wants to provoke a psychological war before the game, then I will take over!"
George knew that when Campbell was planning to leave Tottenham, in addition to Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool also extended an olive branch to the England national team's main central defender. There were also top foreign clubs including Inter Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid. There were rumors of an affair with him, but after some consideration, Campbell finally chose Arsenal, which was even worse than this wealthy club. Why? It’s not even the Premier League maximum salary offered by Wenger, which is as high as 100,000 pounds!
"Boss, do you want me to personally deal with Arsenal this time?" Seeing George turning his attention to himself, John Smith immediately understood his boss's intention and said proactively, "But boss, this is Aren’t you giving Arsenal too much face? In terms of asset size, Arsenal doesn’t need us to do it ourselves!”
"A war of words is too low-end, and although Tottenham have performed well this season, they are still beaten by Arsenal in the standings, and their historical record is also much worse than Arsenal. Therefore, it is better to compete with Arsenal." We basically have no advantage by wrangling in the media, so we might as well do something ruthless from other aspects so that old boy Wenger will never have time to play a public opinion war with us again!" In George's view, instead of To engage in such a worthless war of words with Arsenal in the newspapers, it is better to give Wenger and Arsenal some color in a real sense and limit their thinking to the war of public opinion and Wenger and Arsenal in the football field. Come and see what real war is!
Since Wenger wants to disrupt our military morale by playing off-the-table tricks, don't blame me for being ruthless. With this in mind, George formulated a counterattack plan against Arsenal and asked John Smith to act according to this plan.
Seeing that his boss had made a decision, John Smith had no choice but to shrug, stood up and left George's office. While lamenting that Wenger had no choice but to provoke George, he set about arranging the tasks assigned by George.
In addition, although he formulated a counterattack plan against Arsenal and knew that Tottenham would not have an advantage against Arsenal in this kind of war of words, George did not let go of his plan to counterattack Arsenal in terms of public opinion. After all, if Arsenal players do not respond to the provocation, it will also have some bad effects on the team, and it will also give people a feeling of "Tottenham is scared", which will be detrimental to the giants that built Tottenham. Image is not a good thing.
Arsenal, are you ready? After imagining Wenger's expression in his mind after learning the news, George sneered twice and re-immersed himself in the intense pre-match preparations. After all, although the plan he just laid out can bring huge trouble to Arsenal and Wenger, it will take time to see the results and will not have much negative impact on Arsenal in a short period of time. Moreover, rather than using some means to interfere with the opponent's players off the court, George still prefers the feeling of deciding the outcome with real swords and guns against his opponents on the court.
Therefore, facing Arsenal who are at their peak, George must go all out and make full pre-match preparations to have a chance to win Tottenham a chance of victory at Highbury Stadium on the weekend!
"Arsene (Wenger), something bad is going to happen!" The day before the North London Derby started, Arsenal CEO David Dein hurried into Wenger's office and said to him who was thinking about how to deal with the weekend. Wenger of the Derby game said, "There is a problem with the new stadium construction plan. Some citizens appealed to the court to stop the construction plan of the new stadium, and the London court has also accepted the case. According to the information I have received, a formal judgment will be made after Before, there was a strong possibility that the London courts would halt the project indefinitely!”
"How could this happen?" After hearing Dane say that there were problems with the construction of the club's new stadium, and that it might even be suspended indefinitely, Wenger suddenly panicked, stood up quickly, and asked his friend, " What is going on? Hurry up and tell me the details!"
After Dane's brief narration, Wenger finally understood the general situation of the matter. It turns out that citizens around the new stadium construction site have appealed to the court, demanding that Arsenal be prohibited from building a new stadium!
To be honest, this was not a big deal originally, and the courts generally would not spend extra effort on this case that has been rejected many times. But the problem is that the London court chose to accept the case this time. Instead of dismissing it on the spot!
This could cost Arsenal their lives. You know, in order to build a new stadium, Arsenal borrowed a large sum of money from the bank and incurred heavy debts. Arsenal's guarantee for repayment is the future commercial income of the new stadium. As a result, the new stadium has been in constant condition since the day it was started. In the first half of the year, it was delayed due to problems with the project progress. Fortunately, once the London Court intervenes, the construction of the new stadium will definitely be delayed again!
Encourage local citizens to appeal to the London Court, and then let the London Court accept the case, thus delaying Arsenal's new stadium construction plan and increasing the Arsenal Club's loan repayment pressure and financial burden. This is what George formulated in response to Arsenal's provocative behavior. counterattack plan!
Although this tactic is often used in business wars, it does not appear frequently in the football field. It is normal for Wenger and Dane to be confused.
Just like that, on November 8th, Wenger didn't sleep well all night because of the new stadium. With two dark circles under his eyes and his Arsenal players, he greeted their local rivals at Highbury Stadium. , Tottenham Hotspur, currently ranked second in the league!
