Chapter 1688 London's Strongest Derby

With two victories in five days, Arsenal showed great combat effectiveness in this continuous battle. Even in a half-rotation formation, they steadily won the cup opponents and advanced to the next round.

After the game, although the media made a lot of reports on their two wins, the Arsenal players actually didn't have much time to care about these things.

After the two cup rounds in midweek, the heaviest game of their Wednesday match has just arrived.

In November last year, Di Matteo was officially resigned by Chelsea as coach, and then Liverpool's meritorious coach Benitez took over this team that desperately needed change.

As a well-known top coach, Benitez is actually not very liked by Chelsea fans after taking over the Blues. After all, Liverpool is actually a team that exists as Chelsea's mortal enemy.

Let the opponent's meritorious coach become the coach of his own team. This matter may only be done by Abramovich, who has made Chelsea an undisputed giant club.

Facts have proved that Abramovich's decision is very correct.

After taking over the team, he began to rectify. Benitez quickly implemented his own tactical philosophy and tactical style in the Chelsea team, which had a poor record in 2012.

Then, almost immediately, the team won the few games that Benitez took over. The champion coach rekindled the long-lost momentum of Chelsea.

Slowly, Chelsea fans accepted the coach.

Now, it's time to ask the defending champion Arsenal for two consecutive seasons. If Benitez and his Chelsea can win the Arsenal team that has been invincible for a long time at home, he will undoubtedly be completely accepted by the fans.

After all, this game is now known as the red and blue derby of the two strongest teams in London City.

Three days before the start of the game, people began to discuss this London derby. Reporters from major media were waiting outside the training bases of the two teams, and players were constantly caught by reporters for interviews.

In order to allow his disciples to prepare well for the competition, the professor finally chose to hold a press conference the day before the competition.

"Chelsea is our biggest opponent in London now, and Stamford Bridge is also a devil's away game, but what I want to say is that my players are ready. I hope you can focus on the game instead of constantly disturbing the players before the game."

The professor's succinct words made some reporters at the scene a little speechless, and then Liu Feng, who was sitting next to him, took the initiative to open his mouth and let the press conference continue.

"Benitez is actually very familiar to me, haha, but when he was a fan, Liverpool led by him is indeed very legendary."

Liu Feng's words were a bit playful. He blinked and chatted with the reporters: "With him leading the Chelsea team, there is no doubt that our opponents will be stronger. However, this is not the reason for us to lose the game, is it?"

His strong self-confidence was undoubtedly revealed after the last rhetorical question. Liu Feng sat there and looked at the camera, but everyone felt his determination and strength.

Obviously, the nuclear weapon in the Arsenal team has made all the preparations. Anyone who wants to steal points from Arsenal needs to ask him if he is willing.

Faced with such a tough speech from the Gunners, Benitez was not idle. He took the team's captain Lampard to attend Chelsea's pre-match press conference.

"I have heard the speeches of Mr. Wenger and Feng. It seems that they are very confident. But what I want to say is that we are playing at home, and my players are equally prepared."

"Yes, this is Stamford Bridge, no one can easily walk out of here, we are ready."

The declarations of the coach and captain were clearly aimed at the opponent's coach and captain, and the smell of gunpowder between the two sides was strong and visible here.

In the conference room of the Gunners, the professor and Liu Feng quickly returned here after the press conference. No matter how confident he said at the press conference, Chelsea is indeed a very strong team.

Therefore, he can be said to be the best in the formation of troops.

"Tomorrow's game we will play 433."

Not every away game has to play 442. The professor is very clear about Benitez's style of play and tactical system. This is not a coach who likes to rely solely on a fierce midfielder to defend and counter.

Therefore, instead of thinking about how to fight against the opponent's midfielder with a lot of physical exertion, the professor thinks about how to play his own style. Even in an away game, he believes that the team will not lose as long as they kick the ball they want.

"Neymar, Feng, Aguero three strikers."

The three hottest strikers of the team are directly listed. During the two days of training, due to the reasonable rotation of the team, the main players are all in very good condition, which allows the professor to directly list the combinations in his mind.

"Wilshere, Ganso, and Ramsey are three midfielders. Your role in tomorrow's game is crucial. You must control the rhythm."

"understand!"

"Four backs, Alba, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Alves, goalkeeper Szczesny."

An all-main lineup came out directly, whether it is a midfield combination or a defender combination, this is the match that Arsenal can make any team desperate this season.

The players who were read all raised their heads and looked at Wenger with burning eyes. They obviously benefited from the trust of their coach.

"Tomorrow's game will not be easy, but I believe you will not be willing to accept defeat, then take home the victory!!!"

"understand!"

In addition to the 11-man starting lineup, there are also many strong players in the roster. This time, the Arsenal team has made all preparations. After the professor's encouragement sounded, everyone gave a huge shout in response to their coach.

"Very well, let's disband now~"

With a wave of his hand, another round of preparations came to an end, and the players of the Arsenal team dispersed.

Since it is an away game in the city of London, the team does not need to bear the exhaustion of long-distance travel. Everyone can go home and sleep well and continue to prepare for the game at the training base the next day.

They didn't need to leave the base by bus until two hours before the game.

On the other side of the city of London, Chelsea's players also left their training base aggressively amid the shouts of Benitez. Obviously, the morale of this team is not weaker than that of Arsenal.

The tip of the needle against the wheat, the Gunners against the Blues, the game that has attracted the attention of the world has entered the countdown.
