Chapter 2037 Awareness of the relegation team
On the second day after the lottery ceremony, all the teams participating in the lottery returned to their daily training. The hot discussion of the fans is the hot discussion of the fans. It is the right way for the team to continue to concentrate on preparing for the upcoming games.

After all, after the lottery draw, the game will not officially come until April, and the major clubs still have a schedule for the entire month of March.

In the new week, Arsenal will once again start a double-match schedule. They will first go to an away game to challenge Stoke City for the latest round of the league, and then they will have a decisive FA Cup match with Liverpool.

The heavy weight of these two games can be seen at a glance. The professor led the team to train with a very specific focus. In the training for Stoke City, everyone took continuous alternate rests and arranged all the important tactical targets for the Liverpool team.

The direct consequence of this is that the day before the league match, the team really learned the main information of Stoke City this season.

This is a team that has started the relegation mode since the start of the league. Now they are leading the relegation zone with 27 points and Cardiff City is 3 points above the relegation zone.

In this case, the team's main style of play is naturally easy to predict, which is the 451 bus tactic that wants to keep points.

Faced with this tactic, the Arsenal team has accumulated a lot of experience this season. Long-range shots, penetration, wing take-offs, and various methods have been taught on this last day.

Players with unique skills in their own positions have performed very well. Although it is clear that the professor will probably rotate in the game against Stoke City, everyone still has not given up hope of starting.

"Tomorrow's game we will play 4231."

On the day when the starting lineup was announced, with the touch of the electronic pen in the professor's hand, a formation that was somewhat unexpected by the players appeared.

"Maple, single arrow."

The iron-struck Liu Feng is staged again. He is in good condition and hot as he has fully rested. He is definitely enough as the team's single arrow.

"Three midfielders, Neymar, Ganso, James."

The three most popular young men in the Gunners are directly discharged. It seems that the professor does not mean to underestimate Stoke City.

"Double defensive midfielders, Gustavo and Ramsey."

The two defensive midfielders both chose players with outstanding defensive capabilities. The professor then looked at the defenders. This time he still did not select the team's most classic all-main starter.

"Alba, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Carvajal back four, goalkeeper Szczesny."

The rotation continued because the professor had received a report on the physical conditions of the players provided by Benjamin, and because he used a back line all the year round, several main defenders had all kinds of bad recruits. Now it is just time to give them a rotation while the opponent is relatively weak.

Subsequently, most of the main players who did not enter the starting list entered the bench. Such sufficient bench players are enough for the professor to take various countermeasures in the team's various sudden hardships.

On the first day of the vertical day, the game started at the Britannia Stadium, Stoke City's home court. The Stoke City team, who played at home, fully demonstrated their tactical goal at the beginning of the game - to score points.

"Stoke City set up a bus at their home court at the beginning of the game. This is a very pragmatic way of playing. They have a clear understanding of their own strength."

The well-trained Stoke City players have put their buses in front of countless giants this season. They chose the right to kick off and turned their home court into a completely unsolvable super turtle shell from the very beginning.

The Arsenal team's offense is slowly unfolding. Their goal in this game is not to penetrate the opponent's defense through fierce attacks. In the case of the opponent's retreat, the Gunners played very steadily step by step.

Of course, this kind of stability is also destined to make the game not very good. The home fans in the stands are okay. They are full of thoughts that the team must stay in the Premier League this season. As for how to achieve this goal, they don’t care what the team means.

But the Chinese fans who stayed up late watching the game in front of the TV couldn't bear it anymore. When the two teams were still 45-0 after 0 minutes in the first half, and no team showed any threat that might change the course of the game, many people chose to go back to sleep directly.

This is really not a wonderful game. Needless to say about Stoke City's bus tactics, the Arsenal team, which obviously has a star-studded starter, also did not play any wonderful cooperation. The state of the starting players in this game is unexpectedly very mediocre.

Wenger on the sidelines was also a little helpless. After returning to the locker room during the intermission, he had a re-talk with the players to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm, but he knew very well that the state of the game is very metaphysical, and the real change depends on the progress of the second half of the game.

However, less than 10 minutes after the start of the second half, the struggling Stoke City team took the lead in waiting for their chance.

It was an indirect free kick in an ordinary position. With his tough defense, Gustavo directly shoveled the opponent's striker who was trying to break forward with the ball in his own midfield.

Then in this free kick opportunity, Stoke City midfielder Oden Wenjie kicked the ball away. Just when Arsenal's defensive players thought the ball would fly to the penalty area and compete for the top, the ball landed in front of the penalty area.

"Arnautovic came to the ball, volleyed, and the world hit the goal!!!"

"Oh!"

At this moment, no Arsenal player appeared beside Arnautovic, and the ball left his feet and drew a perfect line directly into the Gunners' gate.

"Goal in! Go in! Go in! In the 53rd minute of the game, Arnautovic broke the deadlock for Stoke City, 1-0! They are leading Arsenal at home."

"Boom!!! oh oh oh~"

In the stands, the fans of Stoke City cheered happily at this moment. For their own team on the bus, their biggest worry was that they would not be able to score a goal. In this case, once the Gunners attacked and scored a goal, the team would be completely finished.

But now, the one-goal leading bus tactic is invincible, which has been proved by countless teams with their own experience.

On the pitch, the Stoke City players celebrated wildly.

And their opponents, the Arsenal players, have already stood there helplessly with their hips akimbo, and they will face a more severe situation in the future.
