I Just Can Score

All kinds of reports in the media news are talking about Arsenal's home game against Newcastle United, and the game has attracted attention not only because of Newcastle United's good results, but also because of--

Battle for the top spot!

Newcastle United defeated Manchester United and Chelsea consecutively, broke out a wave of seven consecutive victories, surpassed Arsenal and rose to the top of the league table.

Arsenal fell to second place, two points behind Newcastle United.

At the same time, Manchester United's results are also very good. After they lost to Newcastle United, they have been winning all the time. The points are only three points behind Newcastle United and one point behind the second-placed Arsenal.

This is the competitive situation for the top of the league table.

The result of the match between Arsenal and Newcastle United can directly determine the ranking. Arsenal's victory is enough to make them rise to the top of the league table again, otherwise they may fall to third place, ranking even lower than Manchester United.

The importance of the game is obvious.

Arsenal naturally attaches great importance to the game. They started preparing for the game early and made a lot of preparations for the game. Coach Wenger's decision on tactics has become very important.

In the last round, Arsenal lost the match because of the outburst with Zhen Shaolong.

After the game, Wenger thought about it carefully, and felt that Arsenal's targeting was not enough, but after watching the match between Manchester United and Newcastle United, he felt that 'targeting alone' was not enough. Manchester United paid enough attention to defending Zhen Shaolong, but they still lost the game.

against?

It is impossible for this kind of world-class shooter to completely seal it, and if he bursts out occasionally, he may be able to score a goal.

Wenger was caught in ambivalence.

The game between Chelsea and Newcastle United, especially in the second half, brought inspiration to Wenger, As long as you can score more goals, you can win!

That's what Wenger thinks now.

Therefore, in the process of arranging tactics, Wenger is also constantly emphasizing offense. He has absolute confidence in Arsenal and believes that the team's offensive ability is no worse than that of Newcastle United as a whole, and Newcastle United's defense is enough. To describe it, it is impossible to defend Arsenal's offense.

Use offense to win...

Grant is still capable! Wenger exclaimed.

From the game between Chelsea and Newcastle United, we can see Grant's ability to deal with the game.

Most of the outside media were critical, but they just watched and made sarcastic remarks. From the position of the head coach, when the opponent has a highly efficient shooter like Zhen Shaolong, it is too difficult to lead the team to beat Newcastle United. Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, all lost against Newcastle, Chelsea also lost, but they lost with dignity and almost turned the game around, actually, better than the other losing teams out a lot.

Therefore, Grant's level of response to the game is worthy of recognition.

Newcastle United are also preparing for the game.

The day before the game.

Allardyce and Cafro explained the tactics to the players together. In fact, the tactics were formulated a few days ago. The core is to focus on defensive counterattacks. The purpose of repeating it again is to let everyone consolidate their memories. When it comes to the game, I kick my own ball with my head down, forgetting the concept of the overall style of play.

General tactical explanations will give people a boring feeling and have nothing to do with most players.

For example, Shay.

As a goalkeeper, it has nothing to do with how others play. The only thing he has to do is to keep the goal. That is, when he occasionally touches the ball, he will consider using a big foot or passing the ball to the goalkeeper at close range. Defenders, tactics and so on, have nothing to do with him at all.

Another example is Zhen Shaolong.

Allardyce never assigns Zhen Shaolong defensive tasks. His job is to help the team score goals. Whether the overall tactics are offensive or defensive, it has nothing to do with him.

so……

Zhen Shaolong took the opportunity to desert, and he was also explaining tactics, but the target was Michael Owen.

Notice!

Wait until the game, see I have a chance to shoot, you must rush over, the closer you are to the goal, the better...

Why? Owen was a little confused.

It's for your own good!

what?

Zhen Shaolong shook his head and sighed annoyedly, Michael, your skills are pretty good, do you know why you scored so few goals?

Owen's face darkened.

Zhen Shaolong continued, There is no plug-in... No! He suddenly realized that Privilege had not been activated, so he changed his sentence depressed, and directly turned it into a statement expression, You have too many questions, listen to me Wrong, well, I’ll tell you the truth, I don’t think I will feel much in my feet tomorrow, and I guess it will be difficult to score a goal.”

...

Irving still didn't understand, but he didn't want to hear the words of'fewer goals', so he nodded decisively and agreed to end the unfriendly conversation.

At noon the next day, the Newcastle United team took a private plane and quickly arrived in London, then transferred to a bus and entered the Emirates Stadium.

The Emirates Stadium, the full name of the Emirates Stadium or the Emirates Stadium, is Arsenal's newly built home stadium, costing up to 470 million pounds, and the audience seats in the stands reached 60,000.

The establishment of the Emirates Stadium is an important decision for Arsenal for a century. The high cost is still on the one hand. On the other hand, they need to abandon the century-old Highbury Stadium. However, for the long-term development of Arsenal, the club and the fans are still advancing together The new stadium was built.

The high investment in the new stadium means that Arsenal can only tighten their belts and cannot get support from transfer fees all year round. Under such a difficult financial situation, it is already quite remarkable that Arsenal can maintain the Premier League semi-finals.

Now the harvest time draws near.

According to some media reports, the Emirates Stadium has continued to increase revenue for Arsenal, with ticket revenue increasing by 600,000 to 1 million pounds per game day.

Less can add up.

After one season, Arsenal's financial income can increase by tens of millions of pounds in terms of tickets.

In addition, the abandoned Highbury Stadium is also being planned to be converted into residential buildings. The Arsenal Club will become a 'real estate agent'. Due to factors such as geographical location and history, the residential buildings rebuilt by the Highbury Stadium have been fired in advance. It will definitely bring a lot of financial income.

Although Arsenal still have a lot of loans to repay, they can also look forward to a good time of financial abundance in the future.

certainly.

This has nothing to do with the game.

The match between Arsenal and Newcastle United was the most focused battle in January, which naturally attracted a large number of fans to watch.

Fifteen minutes before the game kicked off, the stadium was already packed with crowds, most of them were wearing red jerseys, they were fans who came to support Arsenal, they shouted loud slogans, and some fans hit the arrogance of the enemy by the way ', there were some banners in the stands that said--

Zhen Shaolong, the Emirates Stadium will make you desperate!

Feel the pain! The picture accompanying the text is a cartoon image of Zhen Shaolong crying with a big face.

When players from both sides entered the field and were about to start the match, Milner found an interesting banner. He pointed to the west stand and shouted, Look! Over there!

Zhen Shaolong looked over, his face darkened immediately, and saw that it said, Every goal you score at the Emirates Stadium will reduce your life by ten years! Gift: Zhen Shaolong.

Curse!

Is-of!

Zhen Shaolong really didn't want to swear, but the curse from the Arsenal fans was too much, so he simply said, It's okay if I don't score goals!

Are you surrendering now? Milner laughed.

Surrender? Damn! It's time to work! Our super boy group...

Zhen Shaolong shouted.

gather!

Zhen Shaolong, Patton, Milner, Nzobia and Michael Owen!

Irving was finally able to join in this game, because Smith unfortunately sprained his ankle the day before the game, resulting in a week to two weeks of rest, and he was able to replace Smith's position.

Owen felt that he should be excited, but in fact, with so many fans watching, his only feeling was embarrassment, and his movements were awkward, as if he was a little daughter-in-law who wanted to see her parents-in-law.

Others are different.

Enzobia and Milner were looking forward to it, while Patton and Zhen Shaolong had very flat expressions, completely ignoring the 'slogan', as if they were just performing an ordinary ceremony.

Milner kept doing ideological work for Owen, Don't be afraid! Shout it out loud, it won't matter if you shout it a few times.

The louder the better!

remember!

Zhen Shaolong stood in the middle, Barton raised his fists and shouted the first sentence, Enzobia made a perfect connection, and then came to Owen, Owen remembered Milner's words, and shouted at the top of his voice, Carry out the concept of higher, faster and stronger!

A voice shook Zhen Shaolong, Nzobia, and Barton, and they all shivered at the same time, and they all looked at Owen at the same time.

The same goes for everyone else.

The Arsenal players didn't pay much attention to Newcastle United. They knew that the opponent was doing a strange ritual, but there were a lot of reports in the media, and it was nothing if they saw it more often.

But Owen's voice was so loud that even the referee couldn't help but look over.

The 'Super Boys Team' still finished shouting the slogan, but as soon as the slogan ended, Zhen Shaolong, Barton and others immediately moved away from Owen, as if being with him would be embarrassing.

...

Facing the strange gazes around him, Owen felt very depressed, and immediately looked at Milner sadly, with the meaning in his eyes saying, Didn't you make my voice as loud as possible?

Milner returned the look of I didn't expect you to be so loud.

Owen was very depressed.

The feeling of being ashamed in front of tens of thousands of people can be known physically and mentally after experiencing it.

Fortunately, the important thing is the game.

When the game started, most people didn't pay attention to him. Even in the arena, Owen knew that the fans, media, and cameras were all paying attention to his partner Zhen Shaolong.

This doesn't seem like a good thing.

Owen immediately thought of a question, Zhen Ke said that he has a bad 'feet' today, probably because he couldn't score a goal?

right!

What he said was very strange, but every time it was the same!

So if the team wants to win the game, it still depends on my Michael Owen's performance!

Owen was suddenly full of motivation.
