Taking into account the special nature of this North London Derby, PGMOL specially arranged for Graham Ball, a famous whistler who has officiated the World Cup in Korea and Japan, to serve as the referee of this game. (Note: PGMOL, the Professional Match Referees Board, was established in 2001 and is responsible for providing referees for all professional football matches in England.)
After all, after nearly a hundred years of continuous accumulation, the hatred between Tottenham and Arsenal has reached quite terrifying levels. If a referee with sufficient law enforcement experience is not sent to control the situation, this kind of derby battle between mortal enemies can easily cause all kinds of troubles.
No, even though Bol was fully mentally prepared for this game, something unexpected happened to him - during the pre-game handshake session, George shook hands with Wenger after shaking hands with his handkerchief. The act of wiping his hands and then throwing the handkerchief into the trash can immediately aroused the hatred of Arsenal fans and almost triggered a conflict between the two teams!
After ordering the players from both sides to return to the field to prepare for the game, Bol turned his head and warned George, the culprit: "Coach Nelson, I know there are a lot of grudges between Tottenham and Arsenal, but please stop being so casual. Provoke trouble and ensure that the game can continue normally. Otherwise, I have to exercise my power as the referee, and then Tottenham will have to change someone to direct the team."
Noticing that the Arsenal players had been successfully aroused by him, George, who knew that his goal had been achieved, naturally would not deliberately antagonize the referee. Instead, he admitted to Boll with an extremely sincere attitude that what he had done before was indeed wrong. It's inappropriate and brings unnecessary trouble to the other party's work!
Although in terms of identity and status, Boer Paima is not as good as George, but as George said to Wenger before, nobles should be cordial and easy-going in daily life, and be courteous to the corporal. Therefore, in George's view, although his previous actions had another purpose and were not just to provoke Arsenal, since his behavior caused trouble to Bol's law enforcement work, it is natural to apologize to the other party. things that should be done.
Since they enjoy all the conveniences of being a noble and have more resources than others, nobles should lead by example and fulfill their responsibilities and obligations as nobles!
Seeing George's sincere attitude in admitting his mistake, Bol couldn't continue to argue with George on this matter. However, Bol still secretly made a note in his mind and decided to slightly favor Arsenal in the penalty scale. Give Spurs and George a taste of the pain. after all. For the referee, if he really wants to take care of a certain team, he does not need to deliberately target the other team or implement double standards. He only needs to adjust the penalty scale of the game. For example, if the referee blows the whistle more strictly, then the team with better technical skills will get more benefits; if the whistle is relaxed, then the team with better physical strength can benefit from it.
What's more, today's game is still at Arsenal's home court. Even if there are some home whistles during the game, it is reasonable. No matter how much opinions Tottenham and George have about this, it is useless. After all, except for a few key games, the home whistle is quite common in football matches. Every team has benefited from it to one degree or another, and Tottenham is no exception.
Of course, if the opponent performs well next, then Boll will naturally consider adjusting the penalty scale so that the two sides can compete in a relatively fair environment as much as possible. After all, although it is true that the referee is the biggest on the football field, Bol does not want to cause a lot of trouble for himself by offending George and the Nelson family in one game.
While George and Bol were communicating, Wenger took this opportunity to teach Vieira face-to-face: "Patrick (Vieira), after the game starts, there is no need to test their defensive strength as usual. and weaknesses, and then decide the next action plan. Today, let us use the best way to defeat this opponent who knows nothing about the sky and the earth! Let them always remember that we, Arsenal, are the number one club in London!"
Obviously, even Wenger, who has always shown himself to be elegant, has a temper. After being humiliated by George in person, his pride prevented him from just swallowing his anger. Therefore, Wenger made the decision to let the players launch an attack from the beginning of the game, preparing to give Tottenham some color!
"No problem, just watch it, boss!" After hearing Wenger's arrangement, Vieira immediately patted his chest and assured Wenger that he would definitely complete this task. "How dare Tottenham be so arrogant? Look at us. How can we teach them how to behave today!"
The conversation between Wenger and Vieira did not last long. After Bol ended his conversation with George, Vieira hurriedly returned to the court to convey Wenger's latest instructions to his teammates and waited for Bol. I blew the opening whistle - although the fiery Vieira has always been known for his tough style in the Premier League and taking cards is commonplace, but this time, the Arsenal captain did not want to receive special attention from the referee. After all, all Vieira can think about now is how to get revenge on Tottenham, and he has no time and no desire to cause trouble.
"Good evening, audience friends, I am Martin Taylor, and this is my partner Andy Gray." Since the two sides in this game, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur currently occupy the first and second place in the standings respectively. The second place position, coupled with the popularity of the North London Derby itself, so this game was naturally listed as the highlight of this round of Premier League by Sky TV, and the ace commentators Andy Gray and Martin Taylor were sent to be responsible for the live broadcast This derby battle, "Andy (Gray), which side do you think has a better chance of winning tonight?"
"Arsenal scored a total of 82 goals in the Premier League last season, which is eight more goals than Manchester United, which won the championship. Since the start of this season, Arsenal has scored 82 goals in the eleventh league that has ended. There was only one game without a goal in the league, and there were seven games with more than two goals! Such a powerful offensive firepower, coupled with the more solid defense and home field advantage after Lehmann arrived. , Arsenal's chances of winning are obviously much greater." As Sky TV's ace commentator, Andy Gray's preparations before the game are naturally quite sufficient, "Although Tottenham have done a good job defensively this season, They have only conceded ten goals so far, but when facing two strong teams, Chelsea and Liverpool, they have been penetrated three times by their opponents. Moreover, considering Tottenham's consecutive league winless record against Arsenal... So Martin, I am more optimistic about Arsenal in this game, Wenger’s team should be the ultimate winner of this North London Derby.”
"In that case, then I will support Tottenham Hotspur." Seeing Andy Gray cunningly choose the stronger Arsenal, Martin Taylor shrugged, "And Andy, the former Tottenham Hotspur The performance for a period of time was not bad. After defeating Chelsea, they achieved eight consecutive victories in all competitions, and were even neck and neck with Arsenal in the standings; before drawing with Bolton in the last game, Tottenham were even more Six consecutive games without conceding a goal. These facts show that the Tottenham team has been improving under the leadership of coach Nelson. Therefore, if the Tottenham players are in good enough condition in this game and coach Nelson arranges the tactics properly, then Tottenham have a chance to beat Arsenal!"
"Even so, it's still too early for Tottenham to want to compete with Arsenal now..." Just as Andy Gray was about to speak to refute Martin Taylor's point of view, referee Boll was on the court. The opening whistle was blown, announcing the official start of the derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur!
"The game has begun. Now let us first introduce the starting lineups of the two teams. For Arsenal, Wenger still arranged his most commonly used 4-4-2 formation today. Goalkeeper Jens Lehmann, The left backs Ashley Cole, Sol Campbell and Kolo Toure partnered as central defenders, the right backs were Cameroon international Laurent Etame, and Vieira and Gilberto Silva formed a double midfielder. Pires and Ljungberg were on the wings, and Henry and Bergkamp started together on the front line." As a supporter of Arsenal, Andy Gray naturally chose to introduce Arsenal's starting eleven first.
"Then let me introduce the visiting team's lineup." Seeing his partner finish reading out Arsenal's starting lineup, Martin Taylor cleared his throat and read out Tottenham's lineup for this game with a slightly confused tone. Starting lineup, "Tottenham's formation today is very strange. Coach Nelson did not put out his most frequently used 4-4-2 formation, but changed the formation into 4-2-3-1, or 4-3. -3 is also okay. Goalkeeper Petr Cech, the four defenders from left to right are Phil Neville, Ledley King, Vidic and Heinze, and the midfielder is Mascherano and Spey. The trio of Germany and Carrick, with Bierovka and Portuguese youngster Cristiano Ronaldo on the wing, leaving only Drogba on the front line. This is really a strange starting lineup, Coach Nelson He actually arranged for Robbie Keane, the team's top scorer this season, to sit on the bench. Could it be that he planned to..."
Martin Taylor did not finish his words, because the situation on the court changed, so the two had to devote their attention to the explanation of the game.
Vieira stole the ball from Carrick at the back of the center circle and immediately passed the ball to Ljungberg on the right. The Swede carried Heinze's defense all the way and forced the ball forward, and with the big Pass the ball back to the center of the court from a place parallel to the penalty area line!
At the same time as Ljungberg passed the ball, Tottenham's defense was not in place - due to Ljungberg's attack, Vidic and others were nervously guarding their targets and using all their excess energy. To help defend the Swedes. As a result, Tottenham's defense unknowingly showed signs of leaning too far to the left, relaxing its defense against the more dangerous Pires on the other side of the court!
Bergkamp, who was responsible for supporting in the middle, naturally would not miss this opportunity. With a wonderful pass, the Ice Prince passed the ball to the feet of Pires who cut in from the left. The latter, who was unmarked, adjusted slightly after receiving Bergkamp's pass. Without waiting for Tottenham players to take remedial measures, he volleyed directly with his right foot from the top of the penalty area!
One to zero! Just seven minutes into the game, Arsenal broke through the door of Tottenham Hotspur through a clever offensive combination, proving that their title of the strongest offensive line in the Premier League was not in vain, and they won it in this derby. Get the upper hand!
