Chapter 253 Battle against Arsenal! (one)

All Arsenal fans should remember Arsenal's most glorious history, the unbeaten championship season.

At that time, Arsenal played the most beautiful offensive football on earth and won the league championship, which is definitely the most proud thing for Gunners fans.

But in fact, at that time, Arsenal not only had terrible frontcourt strength, they also had a top-level defense line, which is where they relied most on their undefeated championship.

The so-called five veterans of Arsenal's defense refers to this steel line of defense.The five-man defense of Tony Adams, Martin Keown, Nigel Winterburn, Lee Dixon and Steve Boulder helped Arsenal end a long run without a title, and they were also Wenger's biggest asset in attacking football.

It's a pity that with the gradual aging of the five elders, the departure of his successor Campbell, and the defection of the world-class full-back Ashley Cole he trained, the current Arsenal's defense is really not 01:30 worse than the peak period.

In fact, Wenger's Arsenal's performance declined in the later period. Apart from the team's financial reasons, it was also related to the weakness of the team's defense. They did not have a steel defense and a waist like Vieira's.

Especially in a strong confrontation, without the support of a strong defense line, it will definitely suffer a lot. The reason why Arsenal were dubbed the "tragedy team" by fans later is also because of this.

Look at the current Arsenal. The backbone of the defense is the grumpy Gallas who was bought from Chelsea. This Frenchman is still very strong, but his bad temper and vicious fouls make him a time bomb in the defense.

In addition to Gallas, there is another one is Kolo Toure. The performance of the Ivorian is still good, and he can play all positions in the backcourt. For the current Arsenal, he is definitely a very rare player.

Except for these two, Arsenal's defense line is basically old and young, and there are no particularly reassuring players at all.

In fact, the current Arsenal is completely old and new. The three veterans Henry, Gilberto Silva and Lehmann are playing with a group of boys. Although the midfielder Rosicky is not young, he has just come to the team and is also a rookie.

"This line of defense relies purely on Gilberto's performance. Once he is injured or in poor condition, I really don't know what to do!" Wenger said with a wry smile.

At the same time, in Southampton, Redknapp was also analyzing the next game with the players.

"It's not that we have no chance of winning this game, even, I think we may have a greater chance of winning than our opponent!" Redknapp said confidently.

Seeing that some players didn’t quite understand, Redknapp went on to say: “We have encountered some problems recently. We don’t have many ways to face the defensive team. In fact, it’s not just us. It’s not easy to break the dense defense. But facing Arsenal, the opponent will only attack at home. This is beyond doubt. We have a lot of opportunities to fight the opponent’s counterattack!”

"And Arsenal's current midfield is actually relatively weak. Apart from Gilberto Silva, there are no more experienced defensive players in the midfield, especially in the defense. Kolo Toure is more than calm, but not aggressive enough. The other central defender Gallas is even more violent, so facing this defense, we will definitely have a lot of opportunities!"

The head coach's words made the players understand a little bit, and it was the first time that many people knew that Arsenal, which looked glamorous on the surface, had such a big problem now.

Regarding this point, Yunfei knew that what the head coach said was reasonable. During the simulation in the system, he discovered that there were two loopholes in the stability of the opponent's defense. Gallas and Toure could only fill two vacancies. The remaining positions, no matter who played, the defense was very poor.

In the midfield position, there is only one Silva in charge of defense.In fact, Arsenal still has a Flamini available. The question is, will Arsenal use double midfielders to defend against Southampton?That's too bad!
"So, recently we've focused on rehearsing counterattack routines, and when the time comes, we'll focus on attacking the opponent's weaknesses!"

December 2006, 10, Emirates Stadium.

When Southampton's bus arrived at the stadium, it was already surrounded by fans and media. There were too many hype points in this game. Walcott alone could devote a page to it, not to mention the confrontation between Yunfei and Cesc Fabregas, two midfield supernovas.

In the Premier League this season, the most eye-catching midfielders are Yunfei and Cesc Fabregas, a pair of young midfielders.

Cesc Fabregas, the Spanish genius, has been under the spotlight since Wenger dug him from Barcelona to London. He has never left the attention of the media. In fact, he has not let Wenger down.
This kind of data is good enough for a young man, but compared to Yun Fei, it is much bleak.

After seven rounds of the league this season, Yunfei has already contributed two goals and five assists, topping the league's assist list. His assist performance can be talked about alone in the whole of Europe.

So in this game, the midfield core of the two teams is definitely worth mentioning. This is why there are so many media. Otherwise, normally, how could Arsenal get so much media attention for playing a newly promoted horse.

"Hey, what a big battle, so many people?"

Sitting on the bus, looking at the dark crowd below, Bell murmured, this is not very common.

Yunfei didn't hear what he said, he was wearing earphones on his head, immersed in the music, and nothing happened in the unexpected world at all.

For him, this game is not only a confrontation with Walcott's old friend, but also a direct confrontation between him and Cesc Fabregas. Everyone is young, so how could he not take this kind of thing to heart.

The younger you are, the less you will admit defeat. In this game, you must not only win, but also overwhelm your opponent in terms of performance!
