Chapter 738
Arsenal's performance in the league this season is still quite good, at least not being left behind by the top team at the beginning. After 11 rounds of the league, Arsenal are only three points behind Notts County and Chelsea, which are tied for the top of the list, and are on the same level as Manchester United. Ranked third and fourth in the standings.

For Arsenal, whose overall team structure is out of balance, it is already a very good and rare state!

In the previous life, although Arsenal broke into the final of the Champions League this season, they created the worst result in the league in the past ten years. From this point, it also proves the huge loss caused by Vieira's departure to Arsenal.

Of course, with a powerful attack group led by Henry, Arsenal's offensive is still as fierce as ever, which is the biggest reason why Arsenal can maintain their results.

Against Arsenal at home, Notts County naturally does not need to pay too much attention to defense. Even if Arsenal has a strong attack, the big deal is to score more goals than anyone else. Notts County has never been afraid of anyone in this regard!
Wenger kept cheering the players up before the game. If they lose at the Magpie Stadium in this game, it is likely to be the beginning of falling behind. This is definitely something Wenger does not want to see.

The BIG5 competition is so fierce, the Premier League only has four places in the Champions League, and there will always be people who cannot make it to the Champions League. Didn’t Manchester United just miss the Champions League in the final stage last season!

Arsenal's financial situation is already stretched because of the construction of the stadium. If they can't eat the cake of the Champions League next season, then it is likely to be a result of the collapse.

Facing the media, Wenger said that he has found a way to restrain Notts County. Although many coaches have made similar statements before the competition with Notts County, the final result is to leave in despair. Wenger said so today , the reporters have no way to believe it.

In fact, Wenger is really not sure about dealing with Notts County, especially at Notts County's home court, unless there is a possibility that Arsenal's team is super good, so that they can take away a game at the Magpies Stadium Victorious.

Of course, although Wenger is not sure about defeating Notts County, he will not give up the victory. He feels that if he does it properly, Notts County may have nothing to do with Arsenal.

On the Notts County side, although they value Arsenal as an opponent, the self-confidence that has been formed has made the Notts County players very peaceful. At least since the rise of Notts County, Arsenal have still played against Notts County. They didn't take advantage of anything, so they just practiced tactics and offensive routines step by step, without thinking about restricting Arsenal.

However, there was a lot of trouble on the day of the game. The weather in London in late November was relatively cold. Although the temperature was still above zero, it was chilling to the bone. Just before the game started, the two sides had not entered the state, and the weather with sleet appeared. !

The line of sight was slightly obstructed, the lawn under their feet was slippery, and the players couldn't maintain their center of gravity at all during sudden stops and turns, so that the respective technical and tactical arrangements of both sides could not be played out, and the players had to be careful, such harsh conditions were the most likely to be injured.

The first half ended in the constant passive mistakes of both sides, and no one was able to achieve results.

In the second half, both sides unanimously gave up the previous tactical arrangement and played the most primitive routine. Both Notts County and Arsenal began to compete for the top from the wing and the middle. Since there is no way to fight on the ground, they can only In a more simple and rude way!

In this way, it seems that Notts County has a greater advantage. Although Henry is a super sharp striker, he is definitely not a powerful center forward. He has the ability to compete for headers, but that is definitely not his strong point.

On the Notts County side, there is a bug like Drogba. To fight in the Arsenal penalty area, Arsenal can't wait to surround him from all sides, so that it is possible to limit his performance.

Of course, it is impossible for Arsenal to really use several players to defend Drogba. If it really reaches that level, then Arsenal don't have to fight, just admit defeat!

In the 70th minute of the second half, Notts County scored the only goal of the two teams in the game, but this goal was an own goal contributed by Arsenal.

Drogba shook his head to attack the goal after receiving the cross, but the ball was blocked by Arsenal central defender Toure and changed direction. It was too late for Lehmann to change the center of gravity, so he had no choice but to watch the ball fly into his home door.

The whole game did not give Notts County a good chance, but in the end he was stabbed by his own people. Even though everyone knew that Toure would never do it on purpose, it was still unacceptable.

Toure lay slumped on the ground, desperate in his heart, he became the team's sinner, a sinner who is likely to be written into the history books.

At the end of the game, when Wenger and Loew shook hands, their expressions were very unconvinced and unwilling. Arsenal had already done a very good defense, but there was no way, they still lost!

Loew was very happy. A sudden bad weather had already made him lose his confidence in winning the game, but he didn't expect his opponent to set an own goal and simply handed over three points to Notts County.

At the end of the league, Notts County continued to lead the standings, and it was still one game less, but Chelsea did not relax. The Blues, which stubbornly won their opponents, continued to maintain pressure on Notts County.

However, unlike Notts County, Chelsea still faces great pressure in the Champions League. They are in the same group as Inter Milan. If they want to win the first place in the group, they must win every game that should be won.

But Notts County has no such worries. The Magpies, who have locked in the first place in the group in advance, can use the next two games to train newcomers. At least in the recent schedule, it is easier than Chelsea.

After the big battle with Arsenal, the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage began. There are only the last two rounds of competition. It can be said that it is the final sprint stage of qualifying for the group. Every game is for the teams that want to qualify are very important.

David didn't bother to think about the situation of other groups. After all, it was difficult for such a group to be unpopular.

What he is most concerned about is the situation in this group, because there is also the deadly enemy Udinese. David vowed to prevent Udinese from qualifying, and even prevent them from getting a place in the UEFA Cup.

At present, the Yellow Submarine Villarreal has accumulated six points in four games. As long as they win one game in the next two rounds, they will be able to appear as second in the group. With the strength of Huang Qian, they should still be able to do so. of.

The following Lille and Udinese both accumulated two points in four games, and these two points were left by their two contests with each other!

If any of them can score points against the two strong teams in the next two rounds, then it is likely to qualify for a UEFA Cup.
