heavy artillery king

[06] Chapter 180 Warm-up match

------------

"Coach Arthur, the opponents in this round of the league are relatively weak. Will you still use all substitutes to face Blackburn like in the FA Cup?"

"Coach Arthur, who are the starters for this game?"

"Coach Arthur, have you decided to prepare for Manchester United?"

"May I ask if Thierry and Xiao will play in this game?"

"Coach Arthur, Xiao ran [-] in the game against Real Madrid. Is there something wrong with his body?"

"Coach Arthur, may I ask..."..........

When Arsene Wenger arrived at Highbury's press conference, he was immediately surrounded by a large group of reporters asking how the weekend's start against Blackburn was going.

In a few days, there will be a strong dialogue with Manchester United in the League Cup, so the outside world is wondering what kind of lineup Arsenal will play in the weekend league, so that the starting list for the League Cup with Manchester United in the middle of the week can be roughly released.

Wenger still had a straight face as always, and said: "There are no weak teams in the Premier League, so this game will not be that simple. As for my starting list, I always make decisions based on the status of the players, and I also Won't give up on this league weekend."

"Who is the better coach Arthur recently?" The reporter of the Sun newspaper asked immediately.

"Well, Theo is good, he has a chance to start, the others are not sure yet."

Of course Wenger knew what they wanted to know, but he only talked about Walcott and didn't say anything else.

At Old Trafford, Ferguson was also asked a similar question. The old man was also hiding half-naked, and the two old foxes faced each other again.

All the media are waiting for the start of the weekend league, waiting for the match list between Arsenal and Manchester United, and the meeting in the League Cup final is the second year after the 05 FA Cup final between the two former Premier League hegemons. The entire British media started hyping Arsenal as soon as they returned to London.

At this time, what Mourinho said in an interview with The Times made everyone feel that this guy was no less cunning than the two of them.

"I am very aware of the strength of these two teams. They are strong and suitable opponents. Therefore, I am very much looking forward to the arrival of the League Cup in the middle of the week. As for the weekend games, I don't think you should pay too much attention to them, because the results will make you happy." Somewhat disappointed, I can even predict that Arthur and Alex treat this round of competition like a warm-up match.

Although they are about to face their respective league opponents, they are thinking about each other now. Therefore, I think they didn't take this round of competition seriously. Everyone is doomed to be disappointed. This is an unspectacular round. In the league, the two sides will play very dull. "

Mourinho said firmly to the media.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Wenger and Ferguson quit and immediately came out to refute the rumors. At the same time, he said that there are no underdogs in the Premier League. He will not give up the competition for the league. They will do their best to win. In the league, there is no doubt about it! !

However, the two head coaches almost swore that they would try their best to win the league, but the players were not strong enough. First, the news of Ljungberg's calf strain appeared, and then Thierry's back muscles appeared tense. It seemed that Cesc Fabregas had some ankle problems. Small problems.

As for Manchester United, Wayne Rooney immediately expressed that he needed to rest. He was still young, and he was tired from the high-intensity game. A close friend of Ronaldo said that he hadn't been to a nightclub for a long time, and it seemed that he couldn't hold on. , and Giggs said he wanted something to go back to Wales.

All of a sudden, the situation changed suddenly, and there were only two stubborn donkeys left standing there, shouting loudly and fighting for victory with all their strength.

While the outside world was speculating about what lineup Wenger and Ferguson would play, Arsenal also embarked on a journey to Ewood Park.

Blackburn was also considered a strong player in the early days of the Premier League. They even won the championship in the 94-95 season, beating Manchester United and Newcastle to dominate the Premier League.However, with the reduction of its own investment, the lack of stars, and the absence of a strong coach to maintain, Blackburn gradually declined and became a team fighting for relegation.

However, this year Blackburn is in a good state. Under the leadership of Marshal Mark Hughes, they played very well. They beat Newcastle, Everton and other mid-range teams. They ranked sixth in the league and have a good chance of entering the European Union. cup.

"Papa papa"..."Welcome, our English heroes!" "Arthur! Sign us!" "Thierry, come here and be our king!" "Shaw, I'd like to marry Here you go, come here!!"...

When the team arrived at Ewood Park, there were no provocative shouts and slogans as imagined, but endless applause, various welcome slogans, and even courtship to Xiao Ge. , obviously, how great it is for Arsenal to take away a victory at the Bernabeu to the British fans.

Xiao Ge got out of the car and saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment, until a female fan wearing a Blackburn jersey rushed in front of him and excitedly asked him for an autograph, only then did he realize that he was indeed in the away game, recovered and smiled The team members signed autographs for these fans, then waved and entered the stadium.

Wenger asked Pat's players to adapt to the warm-up, and at the same time announced the Arsenal starting lineup: goalkeeper Lehmann; song; Adebayor and Bergkamp.

On the bench, there are Hleb, Fabregas, Flamini and others. Wenger's arrangement is almost telling the media about his tactical arrangement against Manchester United.

Wenger wanted to send some suspects, but unfortunately, in the match against Real Madrid, although Arsenal won, the restrictions on the playing style made the players particularly exhausted. Except for the monster Xiao Ge, the rest appeared some For muscle problems, Wenger didn't dare to take risks, and even felt in his heart that the risks were not worth taking.

"Oh, Arthur is really crazy. All four players introduced in the winter played, but why is Xiao on the field? In the game against Real Madrid, Xiao ran the longest distance, close to [-]. He is fine. Is it?" The commentator in the sky watched Wenger's formation in disbelief.

"Hoohoo!" "Beat them!" "Sorry, Arsenal, my team is Blackburn!" "Get rid of these brats!" "Petersen! We support you!!" "Mark! Take us in Let’s go to Europe!!”..........

"Damn it, they weren't like this just now." Seeing the fans on the scene constantly provoking their team, Walcott said a little angrily.

"Hehe, take a closer look, they did that just because they recognized us before, but now we are their enemies, do you understand." Xiao Ge patted Walcott on the shoulder and explained, with a face full of experience His appearance was very calm.

"Robert, didn't you explain this to Xiao just now?"

"Well, it seems that Xiao has also realized it, and his face-skinned cultivation has gone a step further."

"Let me just say, how could Xiao say such philosophical words." "Xiao, leak it." "Xiao, blushing, he blushing." "Hahahahahaha."...... .

Xiao Ge fell from the high mountain in an instant, and was trampled on desperately.

The stadium, which can accommodate nearly 4 people, has been filled with hot fans. Like other teams, once they enter the stadium, they don’t say anything, but directly use various slogans to express their support for their team. At the same time, it also warned the visiting team: this is our territory.Let's talk about the rest off the court.

"Hoo hoo, dear audience friends, welcome to follow our team to Ewood Park, oh, that's Gareth, Theo, huh, huh, you will see some unfamiliar faces today, it's okay, we Let's enter the game together, see their performance, and see our heavy artillery king-Xiao!!!!!!!"

In the roar of Senke, the match between Blackburn and Arsenal in the No. 20 round of the Premier League officially started.

Today Wenger still uses the 442 traditional formation, and Mark Hughes also uses the same formation here, Friedel; Neal, Todd, Nelson, Gray; Reid, Tugai, Savage, Peter Sen; Pengele, Bellamy.

On the Manchester United side, against West Ham, known as the 'hammer', Ruud van Nistelrooy, Giggs, Rooney, Fletcher and others were also hidden.When everyone saw the starting rosters of the two teams, they all cursed their mothers: How shameless! !
