Chapter 98: The Confrontation between Idealists and Realists (First Update)

“Good evening, fellow football fans!”

"Now we are broadcasting the 15th round of the 2017-18 Premier League!"

"Arsenal vs Manchester United at home!"

"Coach Zhang, who do you think will win today?"

Zhan Jun passed the topic over.

Zhang Lu laughed and then said, "Seven months ago, Arsenal beat Manchester United 2-0. This was the only game Wenger won against Mourinho between 2004 and 2017."

"And Manchester United just won a big victory in the last game, and their morale is at its peak, so I am still optimistic that Manchester United can win this game."

Zhan Jun shook his head and retorted: "I have a different idea. In the last round of the league, Arsenal beat Huddersfield 5-0. Today, they have the home advantage. Their morale will never be at a disadvantage."

"And this season is the season with the largest rotation since Wenger took over as Arsenal coach, and the main players have the best physical reserves. Most of the Arsenal players have played 3 to 5 fewer games than Manchester United players in the same position."

"Because his players have certain advantages in physical fitness and technology, Wenger can flexibly choose between low-position counterattack and high-position pressure according to the situation and make targeted arrangements."

"Moreover, Arsenal's form has improved recently. After beating Tottenham 2-0 to win the North London derby, they beat Burnley 1-0 in stoppage time and successfully returned to the familiar fourth place in the standings."

"So I prefer Arsenal."

Zhang Lu simply replied, "Then let's wait and see. Whoever wins will treat us to a midnight snack tonight!"

At this time, the fans in the live broadcast room naturally made their own guesses.

Most of them believed that Manchester United could win. After all, they had Chu Feng in the team, which crushed Arsenal.

And just as Mr. Zhang Lu said, in every “Mourinho Final”, Arsenal players always make low-level mistakes.

In 2013, Wenger played his 1,000th game as Arsenal coach, and Mourinho even gave the opponent six goals as a gift, which was really too cruel.

So whether there will be a big score today is a question that many fans are closely watching.

"Now I'll introduce you to the starting players of both teams."

"The team wearing red and white is Arsenal. They are in a 3-4-2-1 formation. The goalkeeper is: "

"This is the same team that Arsenal used in the last round of the league. Wenger has gradually made changes since last season and started to use this formation."

"But it doesn't mean he gave up on attacking, but rather increased the depth of the midfield through this kind of defense."

"And because Cazorla is undergoing major surgery, Wenger also wants to use this opportunity to circumvent the team's current lack of technical content in the midfield."

"And the team wearing the black first away jersey is Manchester United, they also lined up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, goalkeeper:."

"Mourinho's idea this season is still to develop two formations for strong-weak confrontations and strong-strong dialogues respectively."

"That is, relying on 4231 to break the pressure tactics and low-post defense of the mid- and lower-level teams, and using three central defenders to stabilize the defense and deal with the championship opponents. Judging from the results of the game, it really has a good effect."

"Chu Feng, who performed well in the last game, will start as central midfielder, while his partner will be Jesse Lingard. The two will form an offensive group with Lukaku."

"Rojo's return from injury at the back will be a huge boost for Manchester United's defence."

“.”

Zhan Jun briefly described the basic situation of the two teams and couldn't wait to look at the screen.

The photographer gave Chu Feng a close-up shot.

Perhaps due to the cold weather, his hair is a little longer than before, making him look more youthful. Compared with the colorful Pogba next to him, he looks much more handsome.

Millions of Chinese fans also became excited, as if they were watching their own children grow up, and they felt a strong sense of relief. - [Arsenal's midfield is not very good! ] - [Mourinho used this lineup, I guess he must seize the start and use high pressure to gain an advantage! ] - [Manchester United's frontcourt configuration is pretty good, Lingard is a troublemaker, Xiaochu is a blaster, and Lukaku is a terminator. ] - [In fact, after Pogba's return, many of Manchester United's offensive routines have been activated, so the strikers can play comfortably. ] - [Don't underestimate our Arsenal! ] - [With the help of the double drive of Dead Fish Eyes and Xhaka, Sanchez and Lacazette are more like fish in water, and we also have excellent players such as Welbeck, Giroud and Wilshere. ] - [Yes, and the three-back formation is also very tough, we have both offense and defense! ] - [Our Arsenal is invincible~] - [Sorry, I couldn't help singing it. ] - [.]

At this time, the loud team song was heard at the Emirates Stadium.

"Let's see the Arsenal showing them how!"

"Come on you Arsenal - yeah you are the Hot Stuff!"

“.”

The lyrics are very good, and they also contain the names of the players, which sounds like a unique melody.

Of course, it would be more delicious if eaten with some knowledge of football memes.

At this time, Wenger and Mourinho stood opposite each other on the sidelines, holding each other's hands with smiles on their faces, and there did not seem to be any major conflicts.

Of course, things may turn out differently after the game starts.

A man who has stayed with the Gunners for 20 years just to build a top club has a great reputation in the industry and is respected by everyone.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

A person who will do anything to win, with extreme ego and arrogance. Some people love him madly, while others hate him to the core.

This is a battle between idealists and realists.

Beep!!! The referee blew the whistle.

The competition officially begins.

Arsenal wanted to pass the ball back at the beginning to get into the game.

But they didn't expect that Manchester United was in a completely desperate attitude, burning their physical strength to run and carrying out repeated pressure without any hesitation.

For Manchester United players, the entire stadium is a restricted area and everyone has to press hard.

Arsenal's three fronts were suddenly crushed.

At this time, the problem of Xhaka and Ramsey's weak ability to dribble and get rid of the ball was exposed.

As soon as the latter received the pass from his teammate, Chu Feng rushed over frantically and cooperated with Lingard to siege the ball.

Ramsey could only pass the ball horizontally to Bellerin on the wing.

Chu Feng quickly changed direction and launched active harassment to minimize the time the opponent spent handling the ball.

Seeing this, Bellerin accelerated decisively, trying to force a breakthrough.

But Chu Feng's close harassment still created considerable obstacles for him. Ashley Young from the side took the opportunity to steal the ball and sent a cross from the bottom.

"Lukaku!"

"Heading the ball towards the goal, oops, the power was a little too much and the ball went over the crossbar!"

"Manchester United played very aggressively at the start!"
