Chapter 1800
Reports on the final draw results of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals began to spread on major platforms on the second day, and fans began to discuss and predict the favorites to win this season.

As the defending champion, Arsenal, which has reached the finals for three consecutive seasons, is naturally the one that people are most looking forward to winning.

After all, since the restructuring of the Champions League, no team has been able to achieve the feat of three consecutive Champions League titles. Once completed, Arsenal will truly make a strong mark in the history of the Champions League.

In addition to the Gunners, the favorites to win the championship are Bayern, Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund.

This is basically related to the hard power of several teams. As for the reason why Barcelona, ​​formerly known as the Cosmos team, is obviously weakened in people's impressions, it is naturally the reason why Arsenal eliminated it in the quarter-finals for two consecutive seasons.

But after all, it is no problem for Barcelona with Messi to eliminate Dortmund, which has never entered the Champions League final, in the eyes of many people.

While everyone is still discussing in full swing, the Arsenal team has re-entered a normal training life.

The professor didn't finally start talking about their loss to Real Madrid at home until the team had all assembled on the field, and the spitting made the players who had just finished their vacation and were a little lazy were silent.

"You have caused unnecessary suspense and disappointed our fans. This is something that should never have happened. I don't want to see such a situation again at the end of the season!"

"Understand the coach!"

When the speech was over, the professor did not let the team start training, but directly pulled out the tactical board and picked up a large stack of materials in his hand to start talking.

Learning from the past is the real way to improve. There are too many things to summarize and talk about in this matchup between the team and Real Madrid.

From tactics to employment, from personal defense to formation changes, the professor almost completely replayed the game. The players sitting off the field nodded frequently. Those who were able to enter the Gunners had good football literacy and quickly gained a lot of insights from it.

Seeing this scene, the professor is satisfied. It is easy for the team to lose a game. Compared with losing to those buses and losing to Real Madrid, this game can really make people improve.

"Okay, now we can start training."

After nearly two hours, Wenger signaled the team to start training with a wave of his hand.

In the fourth round of League No.30, Arsenal will go away to challenge Fulham. This is not a strong duel, but it is also an event that cannot be missed when Manchester United is still tightly behind with a two-point gap.

The professor got the information about Fulham two days before the start of the game. He constantly adjusted his tactics and arranged for Fulham during training. By the last day, everything was basically formed.

In this one-week single match that finally came, the professor who had already made up his mind chose to rotate. In his opinion, as long as there is no problem with the established tactics, it is completely possible to replace one or two main players.

So, the day before the game, in the Gunners locker room.

"Tomorrow's formation we will play 451."

Directly pointing out the formation on the screen, facing Fulham, who likes to play 442, the professor chose to hoard heavy troops in the midfield to stifle the opponent's creativity.

"Forward Giroud, left and right midfielders Chamberlain and Walcott, three midfielders Ramsey, Wilshere and Cazorla."

For the first time, Rosicky and Ganso did not play the core midfielders of the two teams, and the team's midfield offensive tasks were directly distributed among the three central midfielders.

"Back four Gibbs, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Maicon, goalkeeper Fabianski."

Veteran Maicon is still trusted by the professor against this kind of opponent who is not strong, and the second goal Fabianski also ushered in his first start in the league this season.

All in all, such a lineup has indeed undergone a huge rotation, but it is definitely not without combat effectiveness.

Their opponents are currently ranked tenth in the Premier League, and they are very good at attacking and controlling the ball, but what they are most afraid of is facing an extremely hard midfield attack. This is also an important reason why the professor finally decided to start now.

After announcing the starting lineup and saying a few words to boost morale, the professor turned and walked out of the meeting room, leaving a group of team members to chat among themselves.

That night, everyone returned home to rest safely.

Although this game is an away game in name, their opponent Fulham is actually a London Premier League team. They only need to take a bus from North London to the southern part of the city.

Therefore, there is still a lot of time left for the starting lineup prepared by the professor. The next morning, the starting 11 players played a simple simulation match as the red team, substitutes and teammates who did not enter the big list.

Facts have proved that there is no problem with the selection of the professor. Although the final score was 2-2, considering that Liu Feng scored all the goals of the substitute team alone, the starters did a good job.

In the afternoon, at Fulham's home stadium, Craven Farm, in the voice of Fulham fans, the two teams stepped into the stadium together.

"CCTV, CCTV, hello viewers and friends, welcome to the 2012-2013 season Premier League No. 30 fourth round match between Fulham and Arsenal at home. I am the commentator Liu Jianhong."

"Hi everyone, I'm the commentator Zhan Jun."

At the critical moment of the championship, Arsenal played against their league opponents in a rotation lineup, and the two commentators were a little worried for a while.

On the court, the Fulham team won the captain's guessing game. They are good at advancing and controlling the ball, and they chose the kick-off.

"Shhhhhh!!!"

A whistle, as Fulham striker Dimitar Berbatov pushed the ball to Petritsch in front of him, the game officially opened.

"The game started. Fulham had the ball in their own half. They passed the ball and started to push forward slowly. At home, Fulham played quite loosely."

At the beginning of the game, the home team showed considerable momentum, and they advanced very quickly and passed halftime very quickly.

However, it only stopped at halftime.

In the 3rd minute of the game, when Eno, who was holding the ball in the middle, wanted to move forward with the ball, Cazorla and Ramsey caught him off guard from the two defensive lines.

After a stagger, the possession of the ball has already changed hands. Arsenal quickly completed the interception. The ball was passed from Cazorla's feet to Wilshere on the left, and Wilshere passed it to Chamberlain.

"Arsenal started to take possession of the ball. The young player Chamberlain went all the way along the wing. This is the gunner's attacking opportunity!"
