Chapter 576: Stars on the field
Exchange team flags, players shake hands, and then the game officially begins. (《》, watch the latest update of this book)
While shaking hands, Chu Jiang and Tottenham goalkeeper Cesar hugged each other and said "good luck".
Although they are their own players on the court, many of the players have actually had good personal relationships off the court. Chu Jiang and Cesar have always had a good relationship. Now that the two meet in the Premier League, this should be considered as meeting old friends in a foreign land.
After the intermittent entry ceremony, the North London derby officially kicked off after the referee Weber's whistle.
From the beginning of the game, the Gunners fans kept singing and applauding in the stands, cheering for their team.
In Chu Jiang's impression, fans were not so excited when they faced a powerful opponent like Chelsea at home.
This shows how important this North London derby occupies in the minds of Gunners fans.
The fans were full of enthusiasm, and the players on the court were naturally playing passionately.
Arsenal is still their traditional 433 ball-controlled style, which emphasizes control of the scene and pursues the success rate of passing and receiving; while Tottenham Hotspur is completely different.
Today, Tottenham Hotspur lined up a double striker from Difoe and Saha. The formation uses the 442 wings to fly together, and the playing style is more concise and pragmatic. It is often a long pass from the midfield and backcourt, directly looking for the winger or forward on both wings, and directly seeking opportunities to talk to Chu Jiang.
Boas' tactical idea is very simple, which is to not compete with Arsenal to control the ball, and directly pass the ball behind Arsenal's defense.
He knew that if they were better than the ball, they would definitely not be Arsenal's opponents.
Arsenal's weakness lies in the fact that their two central defenders have a slightly poor sense of position and their awareness of replenishing defense is not top-notch.
Therefore, avoiding their strengths and attacking their weaknesses is Tottenham's first choice policy.
Although Boas is young and has just been fired by Chelsea, his tactics are still very powerful, otherwise he would not have won the reputation of "Morlinho Jr."
A coach who can lead Porto to win the double championships in his 30s in his league and UEFA Cup, a coach who can compete for Inter Milan and Chelsea, and a coach who can make Abram pay 12 million euros to terminate the contract, naturally will not be a general person.
Arsenal's offense is smooth and gorgeous, with a high ball possession rate and strong ornamentality; while Tottenham Hotspur is straightforward, simple and crude, and the offense is more concise.
The game between them is a collision of two offensive styles. There is no question of which team has more advanced and clever tactical styles.
Which team can win this game with superior skills? At present, everything is still unknown.
"Arsenal! It's Arsenal's ball possession time. (", watch the latest update of this book)"
"Wilshere, good ball, he passed it to Van Persie, Van Persie sent the ball back to Arteta, and Arteta passed the ball to Willshere. The beautiful triangle pass is in harmony. In today's game, Arsenal did a beautiful job of a small-range triangle pass like this."
In this game, the one who served as the commentator of Sky TV was their chief commentator Gary Neville, the former captain of the Red Devils Manchester United.
After retiring, Gary Neville accepted a high-paying invitation from Sky Sports to replace former gold medal commentator Andy Gray, becoming the leading commentator of Sky Sports.
Interestingly, the commentator who partnered with Gary Neville in this game is the son of former Tottenham coach Redknapp Sr. Jamie Redknapp.
Jamie Redknapp was also a player. Before he retired, he had another identity, which was the former captain of the Reds.
Captain Red Devils and Captain Red Army, the captain of the century-old mortal enemy, sat together to comment on the game, which is strange enough. What's even more strange is that they were also explaining the game between the Gunners and Tottenham, another mortal enemy of the century-old. Moreover, Jamie Redknapp also played for Tottenham Hotspur.
Such a scene is weird, it is weird...
Just when Gary Neville introduced Arsenal's pass route in an orderly manner, Tottenham midfielder Sandro suddenly grabbed it and cut off the ball under the foot of the tiger Walcott. Then, the Brazilian suddenly passed the ball directly from the backcourt to the frontcourt and handed it to Van der Fate in front.
"Beautiful steal, beautiful long pass, Tottenham launched a counterattack!"
Jamie Redknap was immediately excited, his voice raised octaves, and his expression began to explain with a slightly excited expression.
"Van der Fate! Van der Fate!"
"Good ball! A beautiful emergency stop changed direction. He wiped Arteta and ran towards Arsenal's middle of the penalty area."
"Van der Fate passed the ball to Defoe, and Defoe returned the ball to him, and a smooth two-pass and one-time cooperation!"
"Shot! Van der Fate shot!"
After making a wall-to-wall cooperation with his teammates at the edge of the penalty area, Van der Fate got a short defensive gap. Before Koscheerney stepped forward to press, Van der Fate decisively shot with his left foot!
At the front of the penalty area, Van der Fate has a long shot.
In the last round of the European Cup group stage today, it was precisely because of Van der Fate's sudden arrow outside the penalty area that pierced the Portuguese goalkeeper Patricio's ten fingers, winning a glimmer of hope for the Netherlands to qualify for the group.
At that time, Patricio flew into the fish and tried his best, but failed to stop Van der Fate's long shot from scoring.
Now, this test is also in front of Chu Jiang. Can he complete the protection that Patricio has not completed?
call!
The football flew quickly like a sharp arrow and headed straight to the dead corner of the Arsenal goal!
"nice shot!"
Jamie Redknapp praised excitedly. Gary Neville, who was sitting beside him, didn't say anything, but just pursed his lips and looked at the flying football with some seriousness.
In his impression, Van der Sar had saved such a dangerous shot more than once. However, Manchester United's current goalkeeper De Gea seems to be less stable.
So, what about Chu Jiang? This magical boy, who is known as the No. 1 goalkeeper in the Premier League, can he protect the Gunners' door?
Neville was a little curious.
The ball was like lightning, and in a blink of an eye it approached the Gunners' gate. Just as the football was about to cross the goal line, a pair of big hands seemed to fall from the sky and suddenly appeared in front of the football!
The strong and powerful force is firmly supported on the lower edge of the football.
Bang!
The football hit it, immediately changed direction and flew high above the crossbar!
"Oh, beautiful save!"
Gary Neville shouted! He couldn't help but sit up straight, looking straight at Arsenal's goal, and a strange look seemed to burst into his eyes.
Chu Jiang's save made the meritorious captain of Manchester United's eyes lit up.
"A world-class save! Chu is worthy of being an excellent goalkeeper. At the critical moment, he really stood up and saved Arsenal's goal with an outstanding performance!"
Neville praised him with a very fast speaking speed.
Wow!
After Chu Jiang saved Van der Fate's shot, the Emirates Stadium suddenly heard a tide of applause. Many fans stood up and applauded and paid tribute to their heroes.
After missing this opportunity, Van der Fate put his hands on his hips and looked a little depressed.
At the moment of shooting, he thought it must be a goal! Who knew that in the blink of an eye, his wonderful shot not only failed to score, but instead made the opponent's goalkeeper's perfect performance.
Van der Fate was somewhat disappointed.
"Chu's save reminds me of Edwin, Edwin Van der Sar."
While praising Chu Jiang, Gary Neville did not forget to bring his former teammate, Manchester United's meritorious goalkeeper Van der Sar.
"yes."
Jamie Redknapp agreed. However, he immediately changed his mind.
"However, this Van der Sar's successor went to Arsenal, not Manchester United."
Redknapp little smiled and teased his partner.
This summer, Chu Jiang's transfer story is the focus of the transfer of the entire football world. The story of Arsenal's last moment of snatching love can be said to be well-known in the football circle.
Once upon a time, Chu Jiang was so close to Manchester United, but in the end he went to Arsenal, which made Manchester United fans somewhat dissatisfied, and Gary Neville was of course no exception.
The better Chu Jiang performs now, the more regrets the Manchester United people will feel.
Redknapp Jr. mentioned this matter at this time, undoubtedly embarrassing his partner Gary Neville.
“De Gea is not bad at all.”
Neville defended himself.
"Well, De Gea is pretty good."
Redknapp Jr. echoed, but there was a bit of a squeezing Neville between his words, as if he was saying that De Gea was good, but he was still a little far from Chujiang.
"De Gea is really good!"
Neville was a little anxious.
"Yeah, that's good."
Redknapp, little, smiled and continued to run Neville.
Looking at his strange appearance, if it weren't for his image, Neville really wanted to kick him.
"When Chu transferred, he didn't seem to have any scandals with Liverpool."
Neville suddenly remembered this incident. He pretended to search for information and went to find Chu Jiang's original transfer information. After searching for a while, he added another sentence.
"Well, there is no. Not only is there no Liverpool, but Tottenham Hotspurs not."
Well……
This time it was the former Reds captain and former Tottenham player, Jamie Redknapp began to feel depressed.
Any team will want a player of the level of Chu Jiang.
There are only two reasons why he has not had any scandals with Liverpool or Tottenham. One is that they are unwilling to go to these two teams, and the other is that neither of these two clubs can afford him.
No matter what the reason is, it doesn't seem to be a shameful thing.
