The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 692 Detective Sherlock

Saturday night, which has always been the prime time of the Premier League, is not only the best time for the broadcasters, but also for the fans who come to the stadium, because they don't have to worry about missing the evening train, and don't have to be afraid After drinking at night and getting hangover, it affects the work of the next day.

Therefore, although the Premier League's schedule is randomly arranged, it still took a lot of thought to arrange and set the game time, especially in recent years, as overseas markets have become more and more important in the live broadcast of the Premier League. The heavier the weight, the overseas market and the audience of the webcast will also be properly considered when the schedule is arranged.

But no matter what, the Saturday night game is a veritable prime time. Therefore, almost every round that can appear in the Saturday night game is a pivotal event, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is carefully selected.

The highlight of the No.20 six rounds of the Premier League is undoubtedly the North London Derby, where Tottenham Hotspur challenged Arsenal away.

After the 9-0 disaster in the away game last season, Tottenham Hotspur once again returned to the Emirates Stadium, facing a team that is now nearly [-] points behind their own points, and it is impossible to threaten their status Arsenal, Bai Baihe still looks ambitious.

In Ye Qiu's words, in this stadium, they have a psychological advantage.

This is a focus game that has attracted much attention. Arsenal have plummeted this season and were eliminated in the League Cup. In 2012, the Europa League and the FA Cup were also eliminated. A league, but Wenger's team also lost its competitiveness in the league, which made Arsenal fans very dissatisfied, and there were even calls for Wenger to dismiss get out of class, which shows the disappointment of Gunners fans.

On the contrary, Tottenham Hotspur's performance has been rising steadily. Although the first leg of the Champions League round of sixteen knockout rounds was tied 1:1 away by Naples, they played with a full bench in the FA Cup on the weekend, but 3: Tottenham Hotspur's young rookie performance was very eye-catching.

Under the ebb and flow, the following North London derby has attracted much attention, especially for the Gunners fans, this is a battle to prove themselves.

Wenger also placed high hopes on this game before the game, calling on the players to show determination and belief to win, and must defeat the opponent in this game. The humiliation of last season is not only for the football The team, for the fans and for the players themselves, must wash away the shame of 9:0.

But Ye Qiu repeatedly emphasized that this is just a very ordinary game. In his words, Arsenal is no longer Tottenham Hotspur's competitors on the way to the championship. This is just a very ordinary game. The league is no different from playing other teams, obviously to relieve the pressure on the players.

But what Ye Qiu said was simple, but others didn't think so. From the fact that the game was scheduled for Saturday night, it could be seen how much importance the FA, Premier League, broadcasters Sky TV and ESPN attached to this game.

Dee Greg Lestrade has been famous for over a year, but if he had a choice, he wouldn't want it because it puts him under pressure.

In the North London Derby last season, that is, in late November, Tottenham Hotspur slaughtered Arsenal 9-0 away. After the game, tens of thousands of Gunners fans surrounded the entire Emirates Stadium, which almost turned into a big game. Riots, in order to deal with this sudden change, even Paul Stephenson, chief of the Metropolitan Police Department, was personally dispatched.

Even afterwards, the incident alarmed the London City Council and the British government. They all put pressure on the police to prevent the same thing from happening again. The mayor of London, Boris Johnson, even called Lestrade himself. Tell the hapless Holloway Police Chief, "Please stop provoking my fragile heart!"

That night, a photo of Lestrade nervously yelling at his subordinates was taken by some bastard and posted on the Internet, and it quickly became a joke among netizens. The target of Du Fu became a busy real-life version of Du Fu. What's worse, everyone discovered that he had the same name as the detective in "Detective Sherlock".

Therefore, in the past year, Lestrade has become the most famous person in the London police circle, and has also become the object of ridicule, satire and sarcasm by countless netizens on the Internet. Even when the London riots occurred in 2011, Many thugs still look for Lestrade's photos to vent.

The unlucky Lestrade was also shot while lying down!

Although the London riots that occurred in 2011 have passed for some time, things have calmed down, and the whole thing has nothing to do with football, but for this North London derby this season, all walks of life also attach great importance to it.

Today, the owner of Scotland Yard is no longer Paul Stephenson, who resigned because of the wiretapping scandal, but the new Hogan Howe is more vigorous. You know, he came from Liverpool, the deadly rival of London football in the northwest, so he He knew better than anyone the potential crisis of this kind of derby, so he called Lestrade himself before.

Therefore, for this game, Lestrade mobilized the entire police force of the Holloway Police Station, and borrowed nearly a thousand police officers from the surrounding area, as well as fifteen horses, thirty police dogs, and more than 500 police officers. Community volunteer security guards.

Although there is such a large manpower, Lestrade is still worried. He personally supervises the Emirates Stadium, sits on the two cannons that symbolize the arsenal by the road outside the gate of the Emirates Stadium, moving around and standing tired. legs, but I was complaining in my heart, how come there are still so many people coming to watch the football game these years?hell!
You know, the information is so developed now, you can watch [-] Premier League games if you subscribe to the Sky TV package, and the main game will add [-] pounds for each game. Now it also provides live football games, the price is cheaper than Sky TV, and there are more services and content.

Lestrade really didn't understand, why did he have to watch the game live?
Just when he was wondering, he heard thunderous cheers from inside the stadium. Although he was standing outside the stadium, it felt like a big explosion suddenly happened inside the stadium. He bums off the Arsenal gun, "What's going on? What's going on?"

Soon a policeman ran over, obviously holding a walkie-talkie to communicate with his colleagues in the stadium, "Director, Arsenal scored!" He seemed to be an Arsenal fan, and laughed, "It took only 4 minutes to lead Already!"

After hearing this, Lestrade breathed a sigh of relief, "Damn, the goal is scored, and you shout so loudly?" Then he looked at his subordinates, "You, don't worry about listening to the radio commentary, pay more attention! "

"Understood!" The policeman nodded and left.

Lestrade took a deep breath, and he felt a lot more relaxed. Last season you lost 0:9, and a group of people were in chaos. Now you are in the lead. If you win, you will never be able to return to the Chiefs Come to the stadium to protest?

As soon as he stood up, Lestrade couldn't sit down anymore.

Although standing in the position of the Chief of Police, Lestrade doesn't like football games very much, even though he himself liked football very much back then, but now he is very afraid of the antagonistic emotions brought about by football, and even the evolution of football. He has become a confrontation, but he has to admit that football does play a very important role in England's economy.

Perhaps it was because he was relaxed, so Lestrade looked up and saw that the area around the stadium was full of traditional English-style shops. Some of them were in the bar business, some were in retail, or other fans. The things needed, after all, things inside the Emirates Stadium are often sold more expensive than outside, and many fans choose to bring their own.

This gives the surrounding shops a chance of survival!
So recently, Tottenham and Northumberland in North London have been discussing one thing enthusiastically, that is, after Tottenham Hotspur went south to the Stratford Stadium in the city center, How can the current development trend be maintained in the Highgrow Road area at the heart of Tottenham?

Although the White Hart Lane Stadium will be returned to the London Olympic Organizing Committee and transformed into an athletics stadium, everyone knows that the contribution this stadium can make to the entire region is completely different from the original White Hart Lane Stadium In other words, at the very least, it is impossible for them to provide the prosperity and stimulation of economic consumption brought about by two games a week.

Therefore, it is reported that Northumberland is negotiating with the London Municipal Government and the Olympic Organizing Committee to see whether to consider leasing the stadium to Tottenham Hotspur’s youth team as the home of the youth team, especially U19 participates in the European Youth Champions League team, and the attendance rate of this team is also quite good.

However, there are many problems. For example, Tottenham Hotspur are not willing to bear high rental fees, because they think that the maintenance of the stadium alone is already a lot of money, and now their stadium in Theobald is also expensive. Totally usable, so no need for White Hart Lane.

How things will develop next, no one knows, but what is certain is that a stadium has indeed played a key role in the economic development of an area, and even now there are key plans for the entire London Strat The area around the Ford Stadium shows how deep the influence of football is.

"If Arsenal can get rid of Tottenham Hotspur tonight, that would be good, at least save worry and trouble!" Lestrade said with a smile to the small shop with lights in the distance.

The game time passed minute by minute without stopping for a moment. Lestrade never heard the explosive cheers outside the field, just like the sound of exclamation from time to time. Almost every 1 minute, it can be seen that the game is very intense.

This is a duel between two teams that claim to be the most gorgeous in the Premier League. It should be a wonderful confrontation, Lestrade thinks.

The waiting time is undoubtedly very difficult, not only Lestrade, but also all the policemen and mounted police who are facing the enemy outside. They are very nervous and impatiently waiting for the end of the game. Said, time flies so slowly.

But there were bursts of exclamations from the stadium, I believe the fans inside must feel that time passes quickly.

"What a loser, I'm guarding the door for you outside, but you are enjoying yourself inside. It's best not to make trouble after the game, otherwise..."

I believe that there are many policemen who have the same idea as Lestrade, but they didn't say it.

More than half an hour after Arsenal's goal, there was another long exclamation in the stadium, even mixed with screams, and then curses came from the exclamation.

The same sound came from a small shop in England not far away, there was even the sound of beer bottles falling on the ground, and [Damn Tottenham Hotspur] [Alves who killed a thousand knives] could be vaguely heard Shouts like that.

The policeman who was talking on the walkie-talkie kicked hard on the tire of the police car just now, and kept cursing, fuck, fuck, it goes without saying that it must be Tottenham Hotspur Goal!
But obviously, this group of people hadn't finished venting yet, and there was another burst of screams in the stadium. In less than 2 minutes, Tottenham scored again. Who is it this time? Goal scored?
From the voice coming from the stadium, I could vaguely guess that it should be Messi. This small player helped Tottenham Hotspur reverse Arsenal. The current score is 1:2, and the home team Arsenal is behind!
Lestrade also looked annoyed outside the court, turned around and shouted at his subordinates, "Intermission is coming soon, everyone be careful!" Following his shout, the policemen also began to cheer up up.

At this moment, Lestrade's cell phone rang, and when he took it out, it was the owner of Scotland Yard.

"Hello, Director, I'm Lestrade!" He quickly connected the phone, and obviously, he heard a voice on the phone, which seemed a bit similar to the voice in the stadium, but it was a bit slower, and he heard Andy Gray's iconic loud voice is calling Macy Macy, that old man is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

"Greg, it's half-time soon, tell everyone, be careful, and now that Tottenham are leading, it's likely Tottenham will win, so keep an eye on the surrounding area Expand the scope of vigilance, don't let what happened last season happen again, understand?"

"Understood, Director!" Lestrade agreed loudly.

After hanging up the phone, Lestrade wondered in his heart, is this trustworthy owner of Scotland Yard not a Liverpool or Everton fan, but a Tottenham Hotspur fan?Hearing the sound, he is watching the live broadcast of the match between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal right now.

Maybe you will say, can't he be an Arsenal fan?

This is because you don't understand football. If you are an Arsenal fan, you must be scolding your mother now. How can you be so rational and calm?

When Lestrade thought about it, he still felt like a detective Sherlock. He smiled and felt that he seemed to have found the hobby of the new police chief, so he picked up the walkie-talkie and notified everyone present. a squad.

…………

…………

While Lestrade is calling the shots, asking every team, every intersection, every street to be careful, Wenger is also asking his players to be careful in the dressing room. Tottenham Hotspur are using them The best way to attack Arsenal's defense.

After the opening, they allowed Arsenal to attack in order to counterattack after Arsenal's physical energy was exhausted to a certain extent and their running ability declined. Two goals were pulled to complete the reversal.

"The first 15 minutes of the second half are very critical. Believe me, after these 15 minutes, we still have a chance!" Wenger is very familiar with Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur, and he believes that his judgment will not be wrong .

But the question is, he knows how to play and what to do, but can his players do it?

The answer is, no!

After the start of the second half, Tottenham Hotspur launched waves of attacks on Arsenal's defense as Wenger expected. Gibbs, Koscielny, Vermaelen and Sagna The defensive line, coupled with Alexander Song and Arteta in the midfield, this combination of midfield and backcourt still failed to suppress Tottenham Hotspur's offense.

No.408 minutes, Pirlo assisted Neymar to score, 1 minute, Alves assisted Ramsey to score, No.605 minutes, Messi assisted Ribery to score, Tottenham Hotspur reached the end of the second half Halfway through, the score was reversed to 5:1, which was an extremely painful blow to Arsenal.

As Ye Qiu said before the game, the morale of Arsenal's players has been worn down very, very fragile in the past few seasons. Facing Tottenham Hotspur, especially last season's double play, and That appalling 9:0 game almost wiped out their psychological quality when facing Tottenham Hotspur.

Why did Arsenal fail to win the championship in the past few seasons, but everyone still said they were a wealthy family, but this season, more and more fans and experts think that Arsenal is difficult to talk about a wealthy family?

The reason is simple, they lack the background of the rich team, and also lost the confidence of the rich team!
It is very, very difficult to build up that confidence, but it is also very, very difficult to break it down, both take time.

Wenger has spent several years building Arsenal's self-confidence since he took over Arsenal. This situation reached its peak in the undefeated season, but followed closely, selling people year after year, the team's performance was sluggish, and Habitual collapse in the second half, if it is only one or two seasons, the players will not be affected. After all, every team has troughs, but the problem is that if you do this every year, then there is a problem.

I believe that all Arsenal players will worry and doubt, who will we sell this season?Are we going to crash in February again?
You know, Arsenal’s selling is different from that of Tottenham Hotspur. There is almost no internal competition in the former, and there is a huge gap between the main lineup and the substitute lineup, so their selling is fatal, but Tottenham Tottenham's internal competition is very fierce. Ye Qiu uses this kind of internal competition to stimulate players' progress and self-discipline, so no matter who he sells, he will be able to find a replacement.

In the past few years, everyone has believed in Ye Qiu and will not doubt his decision. This kind of confidence has been accumulated from game to game and season to season since taking over the team in 06.

Therefore, in this game, when Tottenham Hotspur scored a reversal goal from Messi, Arsenal had no chance of a comeback!
