Chapter 1028

Although after this game, Arsenal successfully extended the team's unbeaten record in the league to the eleventh round, but the team's recent three consecutive league games and two draws are really giving competitors a chance.

Manchester United, ranked second in the league, beat Stoke City 2-1 at home in this round of the league, successfully narrowing the two-point gap with Arsenal.

The Red Devils under Ferguson obviously believe in the idiom of gathering sand to form a tower. Sir Ferguson even boasted in the interview that his team will not make any more mistakes until the day of winning the championship.

The implication of this statement is very clear, which is to imply that Wenger's team will collapse in the second half of the season.

For a while, the major media counted the days and realized that it seemed that it was indeed time for the Gunners to start to decline.

The professor didn't bother to talk about such an unlucky thing. He led the team to continue training the next day after the team's game ended.

Their matches this week are not over yet. Two days later, they will start the team's FA Cup match at home. This time their opponent is Leeds United.

However, the last thing the professor wanted to see happened.

Maybe it has something to do with the training method, maybe it has something to do with the physical condition of the players. The Arsenal team fighting in the Premier League will be attacked by injuries every year.

Originally, after every member of the team returned from injury, the professor thought that the wave of injuries this season had passed or would never come again, but this is obviously not the case.

In just two days of training, two generals in the Gunners were injured successively. Vermaelen's injury was repeated again, and Diaby, who had just returned not long ago, was once again on the injured list.

And just the day before Wenger announced the list, the team's current second goal Almunia also injured his back during a save.

This undoubtedly reminded the professor severely - the physical condition of the players has reached a limit.

Maybe everyone has a high desire to win spiritually, but excessive force will still hurt yourself.

"Tomorrow's game we will rotate."

The cup game was at the head of the game, and the opponents were not that strong. The professor thought about it for a while and chose to form a lineup dominated by substitute players.

"We will continue to play 451 tomorrow, with Bella as the center, Nasri as the left midfielder, Walcott as the right midfielder, Ramsey as the deep midfielder, Rosicky and Wilshere as the forward."

Mainly young players, the professor who loves Xiao Yao continues to train his players: "Gibbs left back, Koscielny and Julu center back, right back Eboue, goalkeeper Szczesny."

"Roger that!"

The starting players responded excitedly to the professor, and the players on the bench could only accept the reality.

One night without words, the next day, the always passionate Gunners fans have gathered in the streets near the Emirates Stadium.

They sent a grand "welcome ceremony" to Leeds United who came to challenge, and tried to win some advantages for their team.

In the Emirates Stadium, the professor has already started warming up with his team early.

"Start warming up!"

While the Gunners were tepidly warming up at home, the entire Leeds United team also quickly ran into the stadium. Under the call of the team coach Simon Grayson, this young team quickly warmed up.

This kind of momentum contrast is obviously not good. When the shots of Zhan Jun and the director appeared on the screen, the fans heard his interpretation of Leeds United.

"Leeds United's experience after entering the 21st century is very rough. They started the league with negative points in the two seasons of the 06-08 season."

As a professional commentator, Zhan Jun has a great reserve of football knowledge, and he quickly introduced the team from the British Championship to the fans.

"But Grayson fully activated them after taking over the team. Just last season, they ranked first in the league with 56 points and successfully promoted to the British Championship."

Looking at the embarrassing Leeds United on the field who were training and shouting at the Arsenal team, Zhan Jun talked about the record of Leeds United that most concerned the Gunners.

"This is a team that has always played well in the FA Cup and last season they knocked the Red Devils out 1-0 away at Manchester United in the third round of the FA Cup.

Then they drew 2-2 with Tottenham in the away game, and it was not until the replay that they lost to Tottenham that stopped the team's progress. "

You know, last season, Leeds United was still in the League One, and now they have rushed to the Championship, and the whole team is united to rush to the Super League.

It's hard to say what the outcome of such an aggressive team will be when they encounter an Arsenal team dominated by substitute players.

On the court, the warm-ups of the two teams finally ended successively with the passage of time, and both sides returned to the locker room to start preparing for the upcoming game.

During this period of time, Zhan Jun also chatted with the fans for a while, and said nothing of value.

Ten minutes later, accompanied by music, Arsenal in red and white home jerseys and Leeds United in black and yellow jerseys followed the referee into the pitch.

"The head coaches of the two teams shook hands in a friendly manner. The captains of the two teams have already decided on the ownership of the ball. Leeds United won the kick-off."

When Leeds United forwards Bida and McCall stood face to face in front of the ball, the referee had already put his whistle in his mouth.

"Shh!!!"

A whistle, the game officially kicked off, McCall pushed the ball to Bida, Bida turned around and passed to midfielder Gradle.

"Leeds United played in a 442 formation in this game. They continued their offensive play in the Championship, while Arsenal continued to play a 451."

Watching the ball being passed in the Leeds United half, Zhan Jun began to observe the state of the players of the two teams: "It looks the same as during the warm-up, and the state of the Arsenal team is still very average."

Too many games and no rest time are indeed the norm in the Premier League. In order to gain enough exposure, the Football Association's frantic arrangements for Christmas and New Year's Eve have been criticized by coaches and players.

Now, after the opening game, apart from being firmly stationed in their own half, the Gunners have not shown any suppression of the top league teams against the lower league teams.

Time passed bit by bit, and the lineups of the two teams were no longer as complete as they were at the beginning of the game. The two sides penetrated each other, and the ball continued to shift.

"The Gunners attack with the ball. Rosicky dunked Hosen and sent a pass. Carlos Vela took the ball. Hey, he didn't control it well and was cut off by Ben Parker."

Carlos Vela fully demonstrated the gap between the substitute and the main force when he got the starting lineup. His performance of wasting opportunities like this quickly made Arsenal suffer.
