Chapter 937 The Derby Strikes
The end of a league round is often the beginning of another round of league. In the middle of the season, no team can get a chance to relax, and the same is true for Arsenal.

Not to mention that after the game against Newcastle United, Arsenal still have one other game to play before the next round of the league.

The English League Cup is one of the three most important competitions in the Premier League. Arsenal, a team participating in European competitions as the Premier League, is finally about to start their journey in this competition.

In fact, in the past, in the third round, few teams would encounter relatively strong opponents. In the case of a decisive round, teams that can participate in European competitions often win easily.

This time, however, something was different.

Because according to the draw, the team that Arsenal will face in the third round of the League Cup is none other than their rivals in the same city who have been entangled for many, many years-Tottenham Hotspur.

It was a team that was in north London with them and had been competing for fans and the market for many years.

Speaking of Tottenham, there is no need to say much for Arsenal fans, the word "dry" is enough.

This is the biggest vision of Arsenal fans every season, and it is also the biggest goal of Arsenal every season.

It doesn't matter if the team is not worse than other teams. It doesn't matter if the team doesn't have a championship this season. As long as it can beat Tottenham hard, this is what many diehard fans think.

Similarly, there are many fans among Tottenham fans who have this idea.

Even in the past few years, due to the gap in the overall strength of the two sides, Tottenham fans have long believed in the team's record. The day they most look forward to every season is the derby with Arsenal.

Now, the draw of the League Cup gives them the first opportunity to play against Arsenal at home before the arrival of the league, which is undoubtedly very exciting.

From the days before the game, many fans wearing Tottenham jerseys can be seen discussing excitedly outside White Hart Lane.

As for the media in London, they have long begun to unscrupulously promote various tit-for-tat remarks from the two teams.

Tottenham coach Harry Redknapp took the lead in expressing his optimism for the team and his confidence in winning the derby in front of the media: "Newcastle United has proved everything, and we are bound to win this derby."

For this old coach who led the team all the way to the fourth place in the league last season and won the honor of the best head coach of the Premier League in the 2009-2010 season, Tottenham fans naturally supported him frantically.

"Get ready for a second defeat."

This is a post maliciously pushed up by Tottenham fans in the Arsenal forum on the external network.

"Fuck Tottenham!"

It was a snappy response from Arsenal fans.

For a while, in the major media in the UK, scenes of fights between Tottenham fans and Gunners fans emerged one after another, and some people even cursed so much that they were continuously banned.

At the same time, there are a lot more policemen on the streets of London than in the past. You must know that there are a lot more football hooligans in England than in other leagues.

Regarding the noise from the outside world, this time Wenger did not block the players from receiving media information, because he felt that the atmosphere of the team in a game like Derby should be different.

The old coach who has led Arsenal for more than ten years has a stronger sense of identity with the team than any other player. When the derby with Tottenham comes, he is not willing to continue to be a gentle gentleman.

"Run! Run! Do you want to be rubbed against the ground by them!!!"

On the training ground, Wenger has been incarnate as a devil coach these days. After losing the game against the Magpies, his requirements for the players have reached an almost harsh level.

Fortunately, the Gunners' players are not incompetent. They were ashamed and courageous, and they stood up all the way under the attack of the coach and the derby.

And the newly joined players like Liu Feng have slowly entered the derby state driven by many players from the Gunners youth training team.

Perhaps their sense of identity with the Gunners is not that strong, but they are very clear that no matter what happens in this game, they must never lose.

In this context, Arsenal's training can be described as desperate. Every day, the players leave the training ground sweating profusely, and every day they come to the court in full condition.

Soon, the day of the game arrived.

On this day, as if ignoring the league game that will come three days after the battle with Tottenham, Wenger made the best of the rankings.

"Feng, Bendtner, Arshavin three strikers, Wilshere, Fabregas, Nasri three midfielders, our formation is 433."

Facing a deadly rival in the same city, Wenger couldn't give in from the layout. Wenger decided to use the team's beautiful football to defeat the opponent, and quickly ranked the starting lineup for this game.

"Clichy, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Sagna, the four form the back line, and Fabianski is the goalkeeper."

With a wave of his hand, the professor continued without waiting for the generals to respond.

"Tomorrow's game is the most we can't lose in the whole season. I hope you can all do your best. Our fans will support us unreservedly everywhere."

"understand!"

"Very good, now disband."

The atmosphere among the Gunners has also reached a certain level. After Wenger walked out of the meeting room, everyone walked towards the parking lot talking and laughing.

"Feng, you must perform well in tomorrow's game."

The injury has almost recovered, but Walcott, who has not yet reached the standard for playing, moved to Liu Feng's side and showed eager eyes: "The fans are waiting for you to kill the Quartet."

"Haha, okay, don't worry."

When he was with Little Tiger and Wilshere, Liu Feng could always find the feeling of getting along with Scarpelli and Cassia and others. As young people, everyone spoke quite casually.

After saying goodbye to his teammates, Liu Feng also returned home directly.

After sending the electronic voucher for the League Cup season joint ticket to Yuan Xiao, he went to bed early.

That night, the night in London was extremely quiet, but the very different red and white tones that were decorated early in the two districts of North London gave the city an atmosphere of rain.

The next day, at dawn, Liu Feng woke up from his sleep. He was full of energy and immediately felt the crazy scene in North London after leaving home.

"Once a gunner, always a gunner!"

This is the banner outside the Emirates Stadium to send off the team. Under the banner are countless pairs of expecting eyes.

This world-renowned derby is about to begin.
