Volume 2 Chapter 30 Wilshere is gone
Two consecutive victories have boosted Arsenal's morale even more.
The most intuitive feeling is that Arsenal has more impact in the standings and is constantly moving forward.
From the lowest league position of 14th to 7th.
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are tied on points.
7: Arsenal, 5-2-4, 17 points.
8: Tottenham Hotspur, 5-2-4, 17 points.
Arsenal is currently leading due to goal difference.
But this lead was soon to be broken.
The twelfth round of the league happened to be the famous North London Derby!
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur head-to-head!
The two teams are mortal enemies!
The two teams have been entangled throughout their team history. Moreover, they are both located in North London. When they share interests, this contradiction has become even more intensified.
The conflicts between the two teams mainly include 'territorial disputes', 'promotion disputes', 'differences in results' and 'transfer grievances', all of which have contributed to the most popular North London Derby.
It can be said that on this day, all Arsenal fans wanted to severely humiliate Tottenham fans.
For Arsenal players, if you have never beaten Tottenham, you are not a qualified Gunner.
Tottenham is not in good form this season. With the departure of Modric, Tottenham is left with only Bale to support the team.
Players such as Harry Kane, Eriksen and Son Heung-min have not yet arrived at Spurs, and Tottenham is still in a state of readiness .
Looking at the unstable Tottenham, many Arsenal fans felt that they could win the game.
Humiliate the opponent severely in the derby.
In this atmosphere, the North London Derby kicks off.
Arsenal (4-2-3-1):
Goalkeeper: Mannone.
Defenders: Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen.
Midfielders: Wilshere, Arteta, Cazorla, Walcott, Podolski.
Forward: Suarez.
…
Tottenham Hotspur (4-4-2):
Goalkeeper: Lori.
Defenders: Norton, Vertonghen, Gallas, Kyle Walker.
Midfielders: Bale, Huddlestone, Sandro, Lennon.
Forwards: Adebayor, Defoe.
Luka did not appear in the starting lineup. Wenger planned to let him continue to rest and give Wilshere some opportunities to recover.
Wilshere was also excited about this.
Wilshere, who calls himself the leader of Arsenal, plans to make a big splash in this North London derby.
How can an Arsenal player who has never played for Tottenham be called a Gunner?
For this, Wilshere is on!
At the moment Bale took the ball and rushed along the wing, there was a fierce tackle.
He wants to use this tackle to intimidate the opponent!
bump!!
The two men collided with each other and fell to the ground.
Bell fell to the ground. He knew he was being violated and was about to scream when he heard a louder scream from the side.
Ah~~~~~!!!
Bell was completely stunned.
I haven't called yet?
He turned his head and found Wilshere lying on the ground, holding his lower back, his face distorted and looking extremely painful.
Bell was a little overwhelmed. He didn't know whether he should shout or not.
You shoveled mine!
Why did you shout before me?
Wilshere screamed on the ground and the entire Emirates Stadium fell silent.
Those Arsenal fans who were planning to cheer were dumbfounded.
What's happening here?
Did you get hurt by tackling someone?
Arsenal players and the referee also gathered around.
The Arsenal players' faces were full of embarrassment. They saw the referee wanted to take out a card and their hands were reaching into their pockets, but suddenly they shook their heads and waved to the sidelines for the team doctor to come over.
After a while, two staff members came up with a stretcher.
At this moment, Bell stopped pretending and stood up directly, with a very depressed look on his face.
On the bench, Lekai was also stunned!
Did you hurt yourself by shoveling someone?
What are you doing!
Seeing Wilshere being carried out on a stretcher, Lucky finally realized that this guy was injured again.
Lucky felt like crying but had no tears, as Arsenal were still counting on this guy to fight back in the standings.
It’s only two games!
You just came, why are you leaving again? ! ! !
It's not just Lucky who is depressed, but also other Arsenal players.
Head coach Wenger's expression was mixed red and black, and terribly gloomy.
Less than five minutes into the game, they were forced to make substitutions!
"Idiot! --" Wenger cursed, turned around and shouted angrily; "Kai! Go warm up!"
At this time, Patras walked over, came to Lekai, cut off the white gauze and took a look, and found that it had almost healed.
Patras nodded and said, "Go!"
Lucky immediately took off his training suit and started warming up on the sidelines.
At this moment, he could also feel the Arsenal fans' contradictory feelings of embarrassment, helplessness, anger, and desire to laugh.
Lucky shook his head, focused on warming up, and soon arrived at the sidelines.
Wenger gestured to the fourth official for a substitution.
He immediately patted Lucky's shoulder and said, "Go! This is a derby, we can't lose!"
Lucky nodded vigorously.
At this time, a sign indicating substitutions also appeared on the field.
The live commentator George Adams was still frustrated by Wilshere's foul, but his eyes lit up when he saw Lucky.
"Oh!! It was the right decision! Kai stood on the sidelines. After the big match against Manchester United, Kai obviously gained the trust of the coaching staff. He was not wrapped in white gauze, and it was obvious that his wound had almost healed! I hope he can continue to perform well!"
Lucky stood on the sidelines and stretched his body.
He watched Wilshere being carried out by staff.
Wilshere, lying on the stretcher, covered his face, not sure whether he was embarrassed or in pain.
Lekai paid a little attention and saw that this guy was secretly observing the stands with his fingers open.
After the two looked at each other, Wilshere quickly closed his eyes again.
Lucky: “…”
After coming on the court, Luka found Arteta, covered his mouth and said something, and soon the two exchanged positions.
Lucky came to the route corresponding to Bell.
Obviously, Wenger is still very afraid of Bale's impact, so he put up Arsenal's strongest shield there to strengthen the defense on the left side.
While waiting for the kick-off, Lucky was also observing Bell.
After Modric left, Bale had to support Tottenham alone, and he has grown into a big star.
Tottenham's Bale's route is also extremely feared by many Premier League teams.
But Bale had not yet reached his peak at this time and he had technical flaws.
Although former Tottenham manager Redknapp wanted to transform Bale into an all-around left winger like Giggs, Bale is not yet able to meet this condition at this stage.
His speed is his strong point, but his technique is still slightly inferior.
Therefore, if you want to defend Bale, you must limit him before he starts to speed up. Otherwise, even Lukaku will not be able to stop a Welshman who is running at full speed.
At the same time, Bale was also observing Arsenal's No. 4.
Before the game, Tottenham head coach Villas-Boas emphasized this point.
If you face Arsenal's No. 4, don't get into close combat with him.
Many technically outstanding players have been defeated by Luka. Boas does not think that Bale, who currently has only the advantage of speed, can rely on his skills to break through Luka.
But Bell was clearly not convinced.
He felt that he had grown enough, and after Tottenham's resources were allocated to him and he had performed well enough, this inflated mentality began to take effect.
Get past him!!
There was a strong desire to break through in Bell's eyes.
He's the Welsh flying man and he won't let anyone trip him up.
The game restarted and Tottenham Hotspur took the lead.
Since there was not enough threat to the goal, Tottenham chose to make short passes and reorganize.
In this situation, Bale took the initiative to move to the side and reach out for the ball, wanting to test the wing.
Tottenham's teammates trust Bale. Since Modric left, he is the only strong player left in the team.
Bale just got the ball and suddenly felt pressure coming from behind.
"Kai Tie is up!"
Live commentator George Adams shouted in surprise.
Arsenal fans also opened their eyes wide, wanting to see how Lukay would limit the Welsh flyer.
Bell could feel a huge pushing force coming from behind.
This made it difficult for him to turn around, but he didn't want to give up, so he decided to force a breakthrough.
At this time, Bale's footwork was not yet fully developed and his skills were in a poor condition.
He pulled the ball from his left foot to his right foot, then pushed it outwards, trying to use his explosive power to get past Lekai.
But at the moment the opponent passed the ball, Lucky suddenly stepped between Bale and the ball.
Bale's running lane was blocked, and he could only watch as Luka twisted his hips to steal the ball and then pass it to Arteta.
“Shit!”
Bell waved his fist in dissatisfaction.
Lekai also saw this scene, but he felt a little puzzled.
Bale's speed is what he fears most.
But this guy actually chose the stupidest way!
Fighting hand-to-hand with yourself?
Then Lucky is totally worthy of it!
