godfather of football

Time passed quickly, and there was still half an hour before the game officially started. At this time, the head coaches of both sides were making final arrangements. After winning another game in the semi-finals, they could compete for the trophy, so the two No team wants to lose the chain at this juncture.

In the locker room of the home team, after Jiang Feng clapped his hands to attract the players' attention, he said, "Hey! Guys! Don't be nervous, take it easy, we've made history so far, so it's the other party who should be nervous, not us, everyone Think about it, we are just a team in the fourth tier of England. We will be promoted to League One next season, but that is only the third tier. I will go to the UEFA Cup to see the demeanor of the top teams in the leagues of other European countries, which has never been seen in the history of Leighton, and now you are making history every step forward. Guys! Come on!"

Jiang Feng's pre-war mobilization made every player in Leyton Orient excited.

The dressing room of the visiting team is very calm. For Arsenal, whether it is Wenger or the players, their experience is very rich, and such a game may not be comparable to a league game in their hearts.

"Hey! Pay attention to the defense of the opponent's two flanks after playing the game. The opponent does have its own uniqueness in this regard. We should not underestimate them. As long as everyone does what they should do well, the victory will definitely come in the end. It belongs to us." Wenger simply reminded the players.

Half an hour passed quickly, and the players of both sides stood in their respective positions at this time, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle to start the game.

Leyton Orient's starting lineup has not changed in any way, Ibrahimovic is the starting center, Ribery and Malouda are the left and right wingers, the front midfielder is Deco, the double midfielders are De Rossi and Kleberson, and the left and right wingbacks are Alvi Si and Evra, the central defenders are Wald and George, and the goalkeeper Cam.

Arsenal's starting lineup is: goalkeeper Seaman, four defenders are Sylvinho, Adams, Keown, Dixon, midfielders are Overmars, Petit, Vieira, Ljungberg, forwards It's Bergkamp and Henry. This lineup is also the lineup that Arsenal has the highest appearance rate in the league this year.

Fabiano, who joined Arsenal from Leyton Orient during the winter transfer period, was sitting on the bench. Wenger bought Fabiano only as a substitute for Bergkamp. After all, the ice prince is already old. When the players entered the field, Fabiano deliberately came to Jiang Feng's side to hug Jiang Feng and some of his former teammates. To be honest, Fabiano now regrets his original choice. When he was in Leyton Orient, he was always the starting center forward, but after arriving at Arsenal, he only served as the team's substitute, and Fabiano needs more games to accumulate experience at his current age, so Fabiano is here After that, Arsenal felt a little regret in their hearts, and felt that maybe the original choice was not the most suitable for them, and the relationship between players in the giants team was not as simple as it was in Leyton Orient.

The game was about to start, Jiang Feng stood on the sidelines and looked at Arsenal's starting players, and kept sighing in his heart. There are many stars in this lineup that he liked in his previous life. Fate is really tricky. He never thought that he would one day be able to play with Compete with your favorite players.

In fact, Jiang Feng's judgment on this game is also uncertain. Before the start of the game, through systematic tactical analysis, the current Leyton Orient and Arsenal can be counted as [-]-[-]. The systematic tactical analysis also said that as long as Leyton Leighton Orient can hold the front, and Leighton Orient will have a greater chance of winning as the game progresses, because Arsenal's players on the field are all older and cannot be compared with Leighton in terms of physical strength.

And even if Wenger sent his best team, he would never allow the players on the field to fight with himself for 90 minutes, because Arsenal are still under a lot of pressure in the league, and it is easy to be defeated if it is not done well. Leeds United behind them took the lead. After all, they are only 2 points ahead of Leeds United in the standings, so Jiang Feng concluded that Wenger's plan is to completely seal the victory by completely crushing Leyton Orient in the first half, and then allow the main players to rest in the second half to conserve energy. , so the tactic for the team is to fight hand-to-hand with the opponent at all costs, dragging the opponent to death in the midfield.

Soon on the field, the referee looked at his watch and then blew the whistle to start the game.

Sure enough, as Jiang Feng expected, from the start of the game, Arsenal launched wave after wave of attacks against Leyton's defense. Arsenal's offense was very fierce, but it did not put much pressure on Layton's defense. The double midfielders of De Rossi and Kleberson intercepted many of Arsenal's offenses in the midfield. All the players in Leyton Orient implemented Jiang Feng's tactical arrangements very well. This situation also made Wenger, who had been sitting on the coach's bench as firmly as a mountain after the opening, could no longer sit still. Standing on the sidelines, he kept gesturing towards the players on the field.

Wenger is very clear why Jiang Feng made such an arrangement. To be honest, the opponents did this in the few games they lost to Arsenal in the Premier League this season, but it was not as thorough as Jiang Feng did. Watching the Leyton Orient players on the field frequently and His own players turned their backs on their backs through physical contact, and Wenger looked sideways at Jiang Feng frequently. He didn't expect that the opponent's head coach was so young, but his tactical arrangements were so sophisticated and such a rascal.

The game has been played for nearly 35 minutes, and neither side has had a good chance. So far, Arsenal have only had four shots, and two of these four shots were long-range shots from the outside, while Leyton Orient only had For the two shots, the two sides pulled each other more in the midfield, and the ball was converted very quickly.

The two teams fell into a stalemate, and no one could do anything about the other.

In the 43rd minute of the game, Leyton Orient got the best chance so far in a counterattack.

Ibrahimovic volleyed from the penalty area line, but was interfered by Petit during the shot, but it was this interference that made the football appear a strange arc in the air, and Seaman did not face such a ball at all. Any way, the football slowly drew an arc in the air and got into the goal.

1 to 0, no one thought that the first half of the game was coming to an end, and Leyton Orient would take the lead. Although the ball had more elements of luck, football is like this. Sometimes luck is also a part of strength.
