Strong Waist

Chapter 51 Temptation

Arsenal and Tottenham have a long-standing feud, and the North London derby between the two sides is also a grand event every season.

Previously, Tottenham's strength was not obvious. Although the derby was still popular, Arsenal had an absolute advantage to a large extent.

The historical record of both sides also shows that Arsenal has a very high winning rate.

But since Pochettino coached Tottenham and started using players such as Harry Kane, Eriksen, and Son Heung-min, Tottenham's intensity has gradually begun to emerge.

In the future, Tottenham will be able to reach the level of strength that can reach the Champions League finals. It can be said that they are not weak.

Although Tottenham has not yet reached that height, it already has extremely strong strength.

Especially this season, Tottenham's 5-5-0 record also tells everyone that they were undefeated in the first ten rounds.

Of course, Arsenal is also strong. As an unbeaten record, they have won three more games than Tottenham, so this game is destined to be a focus battle.

Whether it is historical grudges or team strength, the two teams are extremely close.

"Both Arsenal and Tottenham have achieved unbeaten success this season. At least judging from the current situation, both teams have the possibility of winning the game."

"Pochettino's Tottenham are running very well this season. They are no longer chasing in the standings like last season, but always closely following the footsteps of the first tier. Harry Kane leads the Tottenham attack group It also shows a rich and diverse offensive mode. Whether it is Harry Kane's header ability or his ability to retreat, Arsenal need to be vigilant!"

"Son Xingmin, a player from the Bundesliga, has also exploded with amazing scoring ability after joining Tottenham. So far, Sun Xingmin has scored four goals and received three assists. This player is also a threat on the wing. Don’t underestimate it!”

"And Eriksen, as an excellent midfielder, can provide unlimited momentum for this Tottenham team!"

In the commentary box, after Zhan Jun introduced Tottenham, he began to report on Arsenal.

"Arsenal's situation is also very good. The front three of Lukaku, Mane and Aubameyang have performed amazingly in recent times, especially as Aubameyang's condition gradually improves. Arsenal's play has become more and more threatening!"

"In the midfield, Kante is still the defensive cornerstone and an important part of Arsenal's lineup. Wilshere's ability also allows Arsenal to organize the frontcourt organization very well when attacking!"

"And there's Lucky!"

"The existence of Lucky is the fundamental reason for Arsenal's strength. Since last season, Lucky has shown amazing strength not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end. And this season, Lucky's performance can be used even more Express it on a phenomenal level.”

"Tottenham want to win against Arsenal, so Arsenal's core midfielder is the hurdle they must overcome!"

"The defense is composed of Hummels and Jimenez. The defense of these two people provides a strong guarantee for Arsenal's defense! The two full-backs are Robertson and Bellerín!"

As soon as Zhan Jun finished speaking, a scene of the players' tunnel appeared in the game footage.

Players from both teams are already standing on both sides, waiting to enter at any time.

The expressions of the players on both sides were extremely solemn.

It was clear that the derby had made them all extremely nervous.

Lori looked at Lucky next to her with her peripheral vision.

As a goalkeeper, Lucky's presence undoubtedly brings him a great threat. Whether it is Lucky's long-range shot or his ability to play the ball, he will be seriously interfered with.

Although Lori is very optimistic about Eriksson, to be honest, Lucky and Eriksson are not on the same level!

The kind of midfield pressure that Lucky is good at is likely to continue to eat away at Eriksen's rhythm.

Once Lucky took control of the midfield, Tottenham fell into an extremely passive situation.

Therefore, for Tottenham, the most important thing is to ensure the fluidity of the midfield.

They don't have to get the ball and the rhythm, but they must ensure that the midfielder can play the ball. They have at least one or two offensive channels that are feasible. This is the most important thing.

"Ready to appear!"

The referee in the front court turned his head and shouted.

Players from both sides became noisy.

A sense of oppression before the war suddenly came over.

The starting lineups of both sides.

Arsenal (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Martinez.

Defenders: Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.

Midfielder: Aubameyang, Kante, Wilshere, Lucky, Mane.

Forward: Lukaku.

...

Tottenham Hotspur (4-1-4-1):

Goalkeeper: Lori.

Defenders: Danny Rose, Vertonghen, Wimmer, Kyle Walker.

Midfielder: Eriksen, Dembele, Dier, Wanma, Son Heung-min.

Forward: Harry Kane.

This Dembe is not the same Dembe in Tottenham's lineup.

This player is a midfielder from Belgium. He landed in the Premier League as early as 2010. He joined Tottenham in 2012 and has been used by Pochettino until now.

Ramsey grinned and said, "The most annoying thing for this kind of players is that they don't need any fake moves at all, just a pass, and the defensive players just can't catch up."

"The intensity of the defensive midfielders playing in the Champions League is about to increase. Who can stop Mbappe?"

Wilshere said with a smile.

He doesn't play in the Champions League, so leave this problem to the teams that play in the Champions League.

Immediately, Wilshere turned his attention to Lucky and said: "Kay, you restricted Mbappe last season. How did you do it?"

Lucky simply said a word about this.

"Prejudgment!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Lucky said: "Speed ​​players like Mbappe are really difficult to deal with. If you insist on competing with them for speed, you are looking for abuse. Therefore, you need to observe, block and predict every time he changes. Every direction is an opportunity to steal, you just need to quickly separate the ball from the ball when changing direction!"

Wilshere and others were confused.

"So, we need to predict, right?" Wilshere asked again; "How to predict?"

Lucky said nonsense; "Watch the movement of his teammates, pay attention to his subtle movements, the twist of his shoulders, but don't look at his feet!"

Wilshere was silent for a while, then turned to Kanter and said, "Do you understand?"

Also as a defensive midfielder, he feels that Kanter should understand better.

In this regard, Kanter shook his head and said, "The captain's tackling style is different. I can't learn his tackling methods."

Kanter also thought about learning Lucky's tackling method, but he found that he couldn't learn it at all.

At the very least, Lucky's absolute prediction cannot be learned.

Wilshere grinned; "This guy is a monster!"

At the coaching table, Mourinho was also paying attention to the discussions of the players.

"Tell me, how did Kai manage his defense?"

Lucky's defensive moves are simple.

But it’s just hard to get through.

Let’s say he pays attention to details, but this is not the case. The range of movements is not large and the frequency is not fast.

But he is able to stretch out his foot to steal at the most suitable time, as if he knows where the ball will be passed.

"Prejudgment! Absolute prediction!" Arteta put down his fork and said: "I once played a one-on-one game with him. His ability to predict is terrifying. I even doubt that he can Seeing a corner of the future, predicting it like a prophecy!”

"Sanchez once suspected that Kai knew some Eastern witchcraft. His ability to steal and intercept was completely incomprehensible!"

Mourinho also nodded.

He had studied Lucky's defensive methods, but he had never been able to summarize it because he couldn't understand it at all.

When Lucky takes action, what defensive secrets or habits he has, etc., none of these!

Every defense seemed like an improvisation.

Just like Arteta said, Lucky can predict the future, this guy's defense is so exaggerated.

"where you go?"

"I'm done eating, I'm going to rest for half an hour and then train!"

"Training doesn't start until 2 o'clock in the afternoon..."

"I know, but you won't step on the spot, right?"

Wilshere's cheek twitched, he lowered his head and quickly finished the food on the plate, stood up and said, "Let's go!"

Lucky and Wilshere left the cafeteria.

Mourinho looked at this scene with a smile.

There is no head coach who doesn't like self-disciplined players, and this player also brings others to be self-disciplined, which is an extremely gratifying thing.

Mourinho brushed honey sauce on the bread and enjoyed it with slightly squinted eyes.

He is already enjoying the future.

It is undeniable that Mourinho's lineup has begun to take effect, and Arsenal in the future will surely be the top or even phenomenal team in Europe.

Mourinho is convinced of this.

Mourinho has great ambitions. He wants to form a team that can sweep across Europe like the Dream Team!
