140: Never underestimate Crystal Palace

Is Arsenal really bound to win this London Derby?

Wenger looked at his assistants and said, "Don't listen to the nonsense of the outside media. Do you really think Crystal Palace will collapse?"

Balder, Primorac, and Banfield laughed.

Naturally, they will not believe the words of those bullshit media reporters. I believe that these people are undoubtedly fools.

Wenger also smiled.

As the club's chief assistant, Bould immediately said, "These guys underestimate the Chinese people! He was able to achieve such amazing results in such a short period of time. He even won a rare six crowns this year, and even every year since his debut." At least win two championships, do they think this is easy and stupid?"

To be honest, Bald really sneered at these media reporters.

Especially Webster.

This guy is either taking away some purpose, or just for traffic.

He didn't believe that Webster was such a fool. Before this season, Webster was relatively normal. But since the start of this season, this guy has suddenly been everywhere.

If you want to say that there is nothing behind this, that would be weird.

This Webster's words have no credibility at all. They are just nonsense made by the supervisor.

Banfield and others nodded one after another. Their coaching staff all thought that Tong Yi was a very, very powerful guy. Even if he is not a saint, he will make mistakes sometimes, but I don't think it is now.

These outside media reporters really have ulterior motives.

And their Arsenal team cannot be led by these guys. If they really follow these guys, this game will be doomed for their Arsenal team.

Banfield immediately said, "Yes, this Chinese is really unprecedented, really - a pervert!"

Yes, Banfield also used the word "pervert" to describe Tong Yi.

This shows that the entire Arsenal team attaches great importance to Tong Yi.

Primorac also said, "Although Crystal Palace's state has been ups and downs recently, they have played a lot of games, and their physical exertion is indeed very high. But we cannot underestimate Crystal Palace. Tong Yi, a Chinese, Very skillful. Think about it, in the past against Tong Yi's Crystal Palace, we lost more than we won!"

This is the truth.

This game can be called Arsenal's revenge.

After all, Wenger's coaching position is not very stable now, and Arsenal fans are a bit intolerant of Wenger. Even they are a little tired of Wenger, who has coached Arsenal for more than 20 years. Even at this time, there are fans calling for Bould to replace Wenger and take charge of the Gunners.

If Wenger's team loses to derby rivals Crystal Palace one after another, Arsenal fans will not tolerate it. At that time, Wenger was afraid that he was really far away from leaving Arsenal.

Not far away.

So, this game is very important.

Not only to ensure Arsenal's status in London, but more importantly to stabilize Wenger's coaching position.

Arsenal have a reason to win this game.

However, Arsenal and Crystal Palace have already met once this season.

That was in the English League Cup a month ago, Arsenal lost to Crystal Palace 0-3. This has deeply stung Arsenal fans. If Arsenal loses again in this game, Arsenal fans will definitely not be able to bear it.

Therefore, Arsenal must win this game.

The pressure on Arsenal's coaching staff is still very high.

Crystal Palace is not a weak team. Although they are not firmly at the top of the Premier League, they are also the only undefeated team in the Premier League so far this season.

Such a team is very strong.

Not just anyone who wants to win can win!

However, the Arsenal coaching staff has not lost confidence. Since this is their home court, they will definitely have some advantages. Secondly, there are indeed some problems with the physical condition of Crystal Palace, which is a good thing for Arsenal. Thirdly, after nearly half a season of running-in, Arsenal has now become a team and its strength has been greatly improved.

With these three advantages, Arsenal's chances of winning are quite high.

Primorac immediately said, "The biggest problem with this Crystal Palace team is actually the two wingers. Their two wingers are originally offensive players and have almost no retreat and defense. And the two full-backs cover The side assists are very strong, and they frequently go forward to assist, which shows that there is a lot of space between the two sides. Moreover, Cancelo is very young and has little experience. This should be what we should focus on utilizing. Place. I believe that by aiming at this point, our Arsenal will definitely be able to win this game!"

Wenger and others nodded, naturally agreeing with Primorac's words.

They thought so before.

But to be honest, the Crystal Palace people's high frontcourt pressure is a big trouble. If they can't break it, it will be difficult for them to seize this loophole of Crystal Palace.

Therefore, they must make a fuss in the waiting area, throw the ball forward as quickly as possible, and send the football to the front court.

At this time, Giroud is very important.

In this game, Arsenal will have to play a different tactic than in the past.

In this game, they are likely to frequently play high balls directly from the backcourt to find Giroud in front.

, let Giroud become the bridgehead and beacon of Arsenal's offense, let him hold the football in the frontcourt, and then create opportunities for his teammates.

This is their way of breaking the pressure from Crystal Palace's high position.

Wenger and others believe in Giroud's ability.

Giroud has a very strong high-altitude ball ability, and his ability to handle the ball is also good. He is a very good candidate for center forward.

This is also where Wenger's confidence lies in defeating the Crystal Palace people.

Of course, Van Dijk at Crystal Palace is a difficult guy. Giroud has to get some of the upper hand in his fight so that Arsenal can create some chances.

Of course, this is not all Arsenal's tactics in this game.

This is the tactic in the early stage, but after they confuse the Crystal Palace people, their tactics will change.

They feel that this sudden change will definitely make it difficult for the Crystal Palace people to adapt. In this case, their Arsenal's chance of winning will be higher.

In short, Arsenal has made very adequate preparations for this game, made a lot of plans, and refined a lot of details.

Arsenal attach great importance to Crystal Palace.

They really don’t believe the nonsense of outside media reporters.

They don't know whether this Crystal Palace team will collapse, but what they know is that no one in the Premier League dares to underestimate this Crystal Palace team. Even Chelsea, currently ranked first in the league, do not dare to underestimate Crystal Palace.

Even when Chelsea faced Crystal Palace, they definitely paid more attention to it than Arsenal.

After all, the biggest threat to Chelsea at present is Crystal Palace. When facing Crystal Palace, Chelsea people definitely don't want to make any mistakes.

Therefore, Chelsea will definitely be very, very cautious.

Therefore, the Crystal Palace team is really not as bad as the outside media reporters have hyped it.

At least Wenger and the others will not underestimate Crystal Palace. Secondly, they take it very, very seriously.

Wenger looked directly at Banfield and said, "You need to remind our players more and not to be disturbed by these external voices. We have to face a team that is currently undefeated this season. Keep your spirits up." , take it seriously. After all, we lost the last time we played against each other."

Banfield is more often the one who directly leads the team's training and is closer to the players, so these matters are immediately taken care of by Banfield and the team's psychological experts.

Banfield immediately nodded and said, "Boss, don't worry!"

Wenger also has great trust in Banfield. When Banfield said this, he felt relieved.

Then, Wenger led the Arsenal coaching staff to study the Crystal Palace game video.

To be honest, they have watched these videos many times. But every time they study, they feel they can discover something new. Now they continue to watch these videos, naturally to find more ways to deal with Crystal Palace.

To be honest, after seeing these game videos of Crystal Palace, Wenger and the others are really impressed.

Who would have thought that this team was a championship team created by a 31-year-old boy?

What are they still doing at the age of 31?

Many people's playing careers are not over yet.

And this Chinese was already a six-time champion. Wenger and the others had to sigh, "This guy Tong Yi is truly the illegitimate son of God. He simply came to the world to collect honors."

Many people are envious.

About to face such an opponent, Banfield and the others were naturally very stressed and very excited. Being able to compete with masters is naturally very exciting.

Moreover, the Arsenal coaching staff is full of confidence in this game.

They were also a little impatient.

Wenger is still very calm. At this time, he still does not underestimate Crystal Palace.

This game is very crucial.

The Crystal Palace side naturally attaches great importance to this game.

Now they are behind Chelsea and have lost their spot at the top of the Premier League. If they lose points continuously at this time, they are likely to be widened by Chelsea.

Therefore, Crystal Palace cannot have any problems in this game.

If they lose or draw, they will be further and further away from Chelsea, and it will be even more difficult to catch up in the future. Now we must defeat Arsenal and continue to put pressure on Chelsea.

In this round of competition, Chelsea's opponent is Stoke City. Obviously, they have no way to defeat Chelsea. After all, the strength gap between the two teams is very large, and this game is Chelsea's venue. Do you think Chelsea will lose?

Therefore, in order to ensure that the point difference is not widened, Crystal Palace must win the game against Arsenal.

Otherwise, the championship in this half-season will definitely belong to Chelsea.

Crystal Palace must win this game!

And this game is still a London derby. As the new King of London, Crystal Palace must defend the honor of the King of London. It can lose to anyone, but it cannot lose to a London team.

Therefore, in this game against Arsenal, Crystal Palace must go all out to win.

Now the Crystal Palace fans can't wait for this game. They want to see Crystal Palace win this game and trample the Arsenal people under their feet again.
