From fans to superstars

Chapter 463 Broken leg, feud!
Britannia Stadium

Stoke City's home stadium, countless fans gathered here, and the Arsenal fans were even more excited!
People who don't know Arsenal may not understand why Arsenal fans are so excited, but if they ask, they will know that this is a story of revenge with a broken leg!

The last time the two teams met, it was good that Aaron Ramsey did not play. In this game, Arsenal topped the list and Aaron Ramsey also started the game. The media will naturally exaggerate this atmosphere!

And Arsenal fans will naturally be agitated!

There are two highlights in this game!
Birthday celebration: Player Kirkland happens to have a birthday during this game!
Revenge: Avenge for Aaron Ramsey's broken leg last time!

Stoke City is not an easy team to deal with. They have a tough style of play and fierce confrontation. In the history of Arsenal's relationship with him, there are many players who were kicked by them and broke their feet.

Back to February 2010, 2, in a dialogue between Arsenal and Stoke City in the Premier League, Aaron Ramsey encountered a fierce tackle by Stoke City defender Shawcross.

Aaron Ramsey's right calf, which fell to the ground in pain, was bent and broken at almost 90 degrees.

At the age of 19, Aaron Ramsey was Arsenal's hopeful star, and such an encounter seemed like a nightmare.

Although he recovered quickly, the injury this time had a great impact on his career, and his physical condition was not as good as before!
Physical contact and scrambling once became his heart disease.Fortunately, after two seasons of dormancy, Aaron Ramsey finally ushered in an explosion in the 2013 season and recovered his form.

Arsenal's "weakness" is always easy to be treated toughly. In these years of "concession", there is no virtue for revenge, only hatred for virtue. Whenever they face Stoke City, Arsenal fans always hope that Aaron Ramsey can perform well!
If Shawcross's foul on Aaron Ramsey was too fierce, it was still unintentional.

In the 14-15 season, Anautovic's malicious offense rules against Debusch were really outrageous.At that time, Arsenal were playing against Stoke City at home. In the 11th minute, Stoke City transferred the ball to the right with a long diagonal pass, but the strength was obviously too strong. Debusch protected the ball with his back, and Arnautovic pushed Debusch to the ground after the ball was out of bounds.

This scene really made the Arsenal players angry from the heart, and the evil turned to the guts!
Arsene Wenger was even more furious and complained to the referee, but the referee on duty not only did not issue a card to punish him, he did not even whistle for fouls, even though the players and fans were gnashing their teeth with hatred, there was nothing they could do.

Debussy, who was pushed down, was diagnosed with a dislocated collarbone after the game, and he lay back on the sick bed immediately after returning from injury.

This injury almost directly led to the ruin of Debussy's Arsenal career. During his absence, Bellerin rose rapidly and gradually secured his main position, while Debussy could only sit on the bench after he recovered from his injury.

When facing a team that is not good at technology but has a tough style of play, Arsenal always seems a little not tough enough, and even becomes a little timid after several muscle bombardments of their opponents.

But this season, this defect has been improved!
The addition of Chen Yuyuan, Granit Xhaka, Virgil van Dijk, David Luiz and other players has made Arsenal's waist hard!

Stoke City is regarded as the second oldest Football League club in the world after Notts County, having been established in 1863 as a founding member of the Football League.

Their fans may be dwarfed by some big clubs in number, but they are not bad at all in terms of loyalty!

Facing the outstanding performance of their old opponents this season, they also have a malicious and rough heart! !
"Maybe they'll be the ones to cost Arsenal the title!"

Stoke City has nothing to desire this season, no danger of relegation, and no hope of the Champions League. If Arsenal can be pulled out of the possibility of the Treble!
This is something that makes fans happy!

"The fans are very enthusiastic!"

"The two teams entered the field one after another, and we can see Arsenal's lineup for this game!"

"Arsenal still chose the three-back formation in the previous game!"

"Goalkeeper Ospina, central defender Holding, Van Dijk, David Luiz, midfielder Bellerin, Kirkland, Ramsey, Monreal, forwards: Welbeck, Iwobi, Giroud!"

"Stoke City set up a 451 formation, goalkeeper Butland, defense: Johnson, Shawcross, Indy, Peters, midfielder: Shaqiri, Cameron, Whelan, Joe Allen, Arnautovic, center: Diouf."

"Everyone knows the grievances between Shawcross and Ramsey. Arsenal fans are expecting him to perform well in this game!"

Arsene Wenger was sitting on the sidelines with one hand propped on his chin with a look of sadness on his face. The match was heated up by the outside media a day or two before the start of the match. It was hard to say whether there was any push behind it!
Whether it is Stoke City fans or Arsenal fans, they are very concerned about a game!
The three players Chen Yuyuan, Sun Xingmin, Enlog Kanter, and Arsene Wenger did not enter the field for the first time, for fear of bumping into each other, and this move also made the fans of Stoke City excited!
They sang happily in the stands!

"Hide it! Hide it!"

"Put away your baby, be careful not to break your leg!"

Such singing is obviously not allowed. The referee warned the fans on the sidelines, and the staff of Stoke City also appeased them, and quickly suppressed such "immoral" behavior!

They simply wanted to disgust Arsenal, but they didn't want the team to be punished!

"Arsenal were very tough in this game!"

"Van Dijk knocked Diouf to the ground, held up his hand, and signaled that he didn't mean it!"

"The referee only gave a verbal warning. This game is a test of the referee's penalty scale!"

Virgil Van Dijk's face was full of displeasure, his ferocious expression and rogue-like movements were very intimidating. Stoke City clearly felt that this Arsenal team looked like a man!
Their tried and tested "playing hooligans" doesn't seem to be so effective anymore, because your opponent is also a hooligan!
"In the 9th minute of the game, Giroud's header was saved by Butlan!"

"Arsenal got a corner, Stoke booed!"

"Ramsey took this corner kick and went straight to the center line. Giroud missed the ball, but Holding did!"

"Beautiful! Holding! This is his first goal of the season, a beautiful header, which is obviously a rehearsed tactic!"
