Explosive shooting at full level at the beginning, the arrival of the British Emperor Star

Chapter 88 Heavy artillery bombardment! So what about the City in the Sky!

10 month 23 day.

Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal has welcomed its bitter host over the years, Stoke City, known as the "City in the Sky".

This team, which does not have many bright spots in the history of English football, has reached the peak of its club history in the 21st century.

The reason why this team has attracted widespread attention in England is because of the team's extremely rough British style.

After their head coach Pulis led the team to upgrade to the Premier League, he found that the team's weak influence could not buy players who could help the team avoid relegation.

After much thought, Pulis decided to do something different and build the ultimate team.

He recruited a group of strong men with big bodies and strong strength, and built a team whose main theme is fierce fighting and long passes.

After this team entered the Premier League, they unexpectedly avoided relegation early in their first season and finished 12th.

In the following seasons, Pulis continued to consolidate the team's style of play.

Not to mention Arsenal, any team in the Premier League will have a headache when encountering Stoke City.

In order to consolidate the team's advantage, Stoke City has turned its home stadium, the Britannia Stadium, into the most terrifying home stadium in the Premier League.

This stadium has chosen the shortest length and narrowest width stipulated by the Premier League.

The purpose is to hit the ball into the opponent's penalty area with one kick, making it easier for the throw-in ball to be thrown into the opponent's hinterland.

Sun Ke heard that the lawn outside the sidelines of this stadium was specially raised to make it easier for players to carry out grenade tactics.

in the locker room.

Sun Ke took a look at Stoke City's lineup and saw that they were really out of place.

Except for a midfielder named Etherington who is 1 meters tall, everyone else starts at 78 meters tall.

All eleven of them were strong men with their shirts held up.

However, Sun Ke is not afraid.

Stoke City's feng shui treasure is at home, and this is the Emirates Stadium.

There is no narrow and short court, no downward-sloping grenade environment, and no ball boy holding a white towel to wipe Delap's football.

There are only slippery edges from overwatering.

Yes, Sun Ke heard about it.

The old man specifically told the staff before the game to bring more water to the sidelines.

This means you have a trebuchet and I have a moat.

In order to prepare for today's game, the old man also put in some effort.

Wenger put Shamach, who was more capable of heading the ball, into the starting lineup, allowing Robin van Persie to exert his strength in the second half.

The old man knows very well that even if Van Persie is in good condition, he cannot use it to his death at the beginning of the season.

Arsenal only have six games this month, but there are also two matches during the international break.

Even if the League Cup can be handled with a substitute lineup and Van Persie starts every game, he will have to play seven games in a month.

The Dutch striker has been injured almost every season in his career, giving him strength in October.

When the knockout stages of the Champions League and the sprint phase of the league come together, then Van Persie must not directly break.

To win the league title, the head coach must make every player in the first team play a role.

Otherwise, even if the main force can hold on, the substitute players will never have a chance, and the locker room will explode.

And Arsenal's substitute players are not bad at all.

Sun Ke's midfielder partner is still Song.

Song is an absolutely indispensable player for Arsenal this season. This guy can limit the opponent's strengths when defending, and he has the ability to support the offense.

After "Inversion Method" left, Song got more opportunities to display his talents, and he did have this ability.

Wenger's tactics are very clear. To defend the set piece, Silva and Shamacher rely on grabbing points, and Song will block the position.

Sun Ke and Arteta went to grab the second point, leaving Walcott and Hot Bird to attack.

Taking into account some of the excessive defensive actions of Stoke City players, Wenger asked the two wide players not to force a breakthrough in the position battle, but to intersperse in the gaps in the opponent's formation.

Stoke City is currently ranked No. 8 in the Premier League. They have two wins and two draws at home and remain unbeaten. They have slightly stretched their hips and lost two games on the road.

In the last six meetings between the two sides, Arsenal has three wins, one draw and two losses, and the advantage is not obvious.

Before the game, the Stoke City coach praised Arsenal's performance.

He said that the two teams represent the extremes of two tactical styles. Both teams can gain something offensively, but they are unable to defeat the other defensively.

He believes that as long as the game is open to four or six, Stoke City is likely to win.

Wenger also politely praised Pulis' coaching ability, but he said that his team has found a way to deal with power players.

The media agreed that Sun may not be able to get the ball to the winger's feet and will be the winner of the game.

After the game started, Arsenal quickly took the initiative on the field.

Stoke City players did not scramble in the frontcourt as soon as they came up, but as long as Arsenal pushed the football into the midfield area, they would be greeted by rhino collisions from the opposing players.

After a few minutes of testing, Arsenal players always kept one shot in the midfield.

When the Stoke City players started to recover, the Arsenal players passed the ball back to Sun Ke's feet.

Today, Sun Ke plays the role of dealer, constantly delivering the ball to both sides.

Stoke City's tactics are pure strength-based play. They do not expect to let the 2 meter Crouch directly kill Silva with a long pass.

Although the height difference between the two is nearly a head, it is difficult for Crouch to grab a position next to Silva.

Their tactic is to create chaos in the frontcourt, while other players grab the second point and create out-of-bounds opportunities.

No. 12 minutes, Sun Ke experienced Delap's powerful hand throw for the first time.

Stoke were awarded a throw-in in a seemingly non-threatening position.

As a result, Delap stepped on the water and threw the football into Arsenal's penalty area.

The 1 meter central defender Shaw Cross grabbed the first point and passed the ball to the back point. Crouch was squeezed by Silva and tilted his body, but he still grabbed the first point.

Szczesny blocked the ball out of the small penalty area with one hand, and Sun Ke acted as a human sandbag and blocked another forward Walters' follow-up shot.

so close!

In the 16th minute, Arsenal also had a scoring opportunity.

Etherington faced Sun Ke in the frontcourt and suddenly started the ball.

Sun Ke, who had already predicted the opponent's thoughts, suddenly turned around and stood in front of the opponent.

When Etherington saw that Sun Ke had not been knocked away, he immediately knocked Sun Ke down from behind.

Amid the boos from the home fans, Sun Ke picked up the football underneath him and turned around and passed it to Capdevila on the left.

Stoke City players immediately blocked the connection between Capdevila and the three midfielders.

Shamach retreated to the midfield, played a one-two with Capdevila, then turned and returned to the penalty area.

This adjustment revitalized the team's cooperation. Song received the ball and immediately moved the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

Walcott used his body to knock the ball into the penalty area, adjusted it, and passed it across the center.

Shamacher took a step after receiving the ball, and Shaw Cross immediately chased after him.

Just when everyone thought the Arsenal center was going to force a shot, Shamacher suddenly knocked back and passed the ball near the penalty spot.

In the eyes of everyone, Arteta rushed towards the football.

Central defender Upson made a decisive move and placed his entire body in the shooting path.

Just when the fans were expecting Arteta to break through the defense, the coach suddenly used the instep of his outside foot to pass the football out of the penalty area.

At this moment, Sun Ke happened to appear outside the penalty area.

Stoke City midfielder Whitehead ran back desperately, but it was too late.

Sun Ke raised his right foot high and kicked the football hard.

"boom!"

After a bang.

The football passed between players on both sides and flew over Upson's body.

The goalkeeper had just made a save, and the football had already flown into the goal close to the left side of the goal.

1: 0!

In an instant, the Emirates Stadium was boiling again!

Zhan Jun in the studio shouted loudly: "The ball is scored!"

"Sun Ke's long shot opened the scoring for Arsenal!"

"Stoke City players tried their best to defend themselves, but they still couldn't keep up with Arsenal's fast passing!"

"They missed the opponent's heavy gunner Sun Ke and were punished immediately!"

"1-0! Arsenal has continued the rapid momentum of recent games and has once again taken the initiative!"
