Chapter 55 The hottest players in the Premier League

The UEFA Cup was tied in the first round, but with two away goals in hand, it was not a big problem to advance to the group stage. Blackburn immediately shifted their focus back to the league. Before that, they beat Manchester City and Chelsea in succession, which greatly affected Mark Hughes. Well received, but the next two opponents are stronger.

First, on September 23, they faced Arsenal, which ranked first in the league with five wins and one tie in the first six rounds. After Gareth Bale scored a free kick in the last round of the league, Cesc Fabregas, who came off the bench, directed the North London Derby with two passes and one shot. Reversal, Xiaofa is now the hottest superstar in the Premier League...

However, Sun Wu, who is very clear about the future trajectory of the No. [-] superstar, can't help but mutter in his heart. Fabregas probably started this year. Every season is omnipotent in the first half of the season, and all kinds of delays in the second half of the season... This is one of the top ten unsolved mysteries in football.

After playing Arsenal, Blackburn challenged Manchester United away at NO.30 in September. Manchester United had a bad season this season. In the first round, Rooney was seriously injured, and they were tied by Reading with ten players. After that, Ronaldo got a red card and was suspended for three games. It was not until the fourth round of the league that they ushered in their first victory. Nani's world wave scored... Tottenham won again, unlucky.

Facing the gorgeous Arsenal, Mark Hughes unexpectedly did not form a 451 formation. The forward line is a combination of Santa Cruz and Derby Hill. Derby Hill has played very few games in the past two seasons, but a few days ago The UEFA Cup game performed well, and McCarthy was put on the bench because of the nightclub incident. Sun Wu entered the squad as usual, but did not start.

Blackburn's games this month are all against strong opponents, but it is a good thing for Chinese fans. Basically every round of the game is broadcast live, although you have to pay...but at least there are commentators. For those with a commentator, most of the less popular games are in English.

Sina Studio.

"From the perspective of the first six rounds, Blackburn's score is actually more valuable, but today Mark Hughes is playing a 442 formation." After Yan Qiang introduced the starting lineup, "Last season, Blackburn faced the top five teams. Basically, the formation is 451 to strengthen the thickness of the midfield, what does Director Zhang think?"

Zhang Lu was used to hehe, and then said: "Arsenal's frontcourt has changed a lot this season, and Henry's departure has hit the team hard. Erva, Adebayor, Dutch striker Van Persie, Walcott on the wing, but judging from the first six rounds, no one can replace Henry."

As soon as the screen changed, the players had already filed out of the channel.

"The starting lineup of this game is very interesting. Mark Hughes ranked 442, but Arsenal ranked 451. Only Van Persie stepped forward. Instead of choosing Adebayor or da Silva, there were more players. Brazilian midfielder Edu." Zhang Lu looked down at the data, "Arsenal did not play well in the last round of the league, but Cesc Fabregas' personal ability is too strong, so the key to today's game is whether Black can restrain Fabre Garth's performance."

In the first six rounds of the league, Cesc Fabregas alone contributed four goals and six assists, terrifying statistics...so just 10 minutes into the game, "The Beast" Savage, who replaced Mokona today, showed no mercy He brought down Fabregas three times, and the action was relatively small, and he did not get a yellow card.

Grabbing the turf and getting up, Cesc Fabregas complained loudly to the referee who ran over, "This is still a football game? It's obviously a fighting game!"

Wenger on the sidelines walked to the sidelines and made a gesture. Sun Wu turned his head and glanced. Although he didn't know the meaning of this tactical gesture, he could guess that Fabregas played in the La Masia youth training camp. number four.

Sure enough, Fabregas quickly retreated to the position of the midfielder, with Flamini escorting him, and Savage was afraid that there would be too much space behind him, so he did not dare to pounce. Fabregas had enough space to pass the ball.

Fabregas' retreat does not affect Arsenal's offensive organization in the frontcourt, and is even more threatening. After all, Arsenal today is not as miserable as it will be in a few years... At least there is Hleb in the frontcourt who can organize, A Belarusian who can pass people and shoot well. It's a pity that this guy will go to Barcelona next year and basically didn't play in the game... Following in his footsteps are Alexander Song and Vermaelen...

In the 23rd minute, Hleb cut in from the right to attract Warnock and Dunn, who was defending, and sent a diagonal plug to Walcott, who was on the edge. center column.

Today's Van Persie is not the general Fan a few years later. With Adebayor around, it is difficult for him to appear in the center position. This shot is a little impatient. In fact, it will be blocked by the goalkeeper if it misses the post. Not much of a shot angle.

In the 31st minute, Hleb suddenly shifted a long pass from the right, and the left back Clichy made a pass from the baseline without defense. The foot shot caused chaos in the penalty area, and Van Persie scored with Samba's left foot.

Seeing Van Persie kneeling and celebrating, Sun Wu pouted on the bench. In fact, he did not approve of Mark Hughes' formation in this game.

To deal with Arsenal's technical flow, one must either shrink back honestly and increase defensive efforts to cut the opponent's space for movement, or harass Cesc Fabregas intensively in the midfield, and Mark Hughes on the one hand Savage, who is very defensive, was sent, but he refused to play a single striker, resulting in insufficient midfielders.

In this conceded goal, Cesc Fabregas suddenly shot forward. Whether it was Savage, Dunn who was facing up, or Derby Hill who should have returned to defense, there was no reaction. The conceded goal was both accidental and reasonable. of.

In Sun Wu's view, Mark Hughes had a lot of problems with his success and command. No wonder he was kicked out in Manchester City. After Ferguson retired, he was not selected as a successor at all.

After this goal, Arsenal did not shrink back to defend, but moved forward more oppressively. The two wingers completely suppressed Bentley and Peterson. Santa Cruz was isolated and helpless, and Derbyshire was on the field. After a while of running around and grabbing the ball...the monkey got calm after being slipped by the opponent for two laps.

After all, Savage has been in the Premier League for many years. Regardless of the space behind him, once Fabregas passed the middle circle and entered the 40-meter area, he did not hesitate to pounce on him with both hands and feet, and got a yellow card for this.

"Do you think this guy will get a red card for this game?"

"How much did you press?"

"100 pounds, how about you?"

"500 pounds, Robbie hasn't got a red card this season..." Sun Wu shrugged.

I don’t know how Robbie Savage on the field knows how his teammates think about his betting... In fact, everyone’s betting is not for self-entertainment. Football lottery has open odds. Vitch is 1 to 2 for a red card and 70 to 1 for a sent off before 3.5 minutes...
