Chapter 229 Terrible Growth

Without superstars such as Henry and Vieira, Arsenal's strength has not reached the level of that championship team, but it is still the strength of a Premier League team.

If David looks at it, Notts County's strength is actually in this position. If all the main players in Arsenal, I am afraid it will be higher than Notts County!

Last season, he could only rely on the most extreme conservativeness to deal with it, but he was able to fight against each other when he wanted to. This level of progress was enough to satisfy David.

You must know that although Arsenal's results can be more stable, they have no potential to tap, but Notts County is not like this. Our magpies are still improving every day, and their players are maturing every day.

They look evenly matched now, but when they meet next season, Notts County will definitely impress Arsenal.

With the end of the tentative attack on both sides, the game became more and more intense, and the two sides began to face off with real swords and guns.

Arsenal likes the tactic of flying on both sides, especially when the core midfielder Vieira is not present, and more is to complete the attack through a wing.

But this tactic, which has been invincible in the Premier League, is not working today in front of Notts County.

Because Notts County's strengths are also on the sidelines.

In order to curb Arsenal's wing attack, Notts County deliberately arranged Ribery into the starting lineup, while Iniesta was pulled to the right. These two players rely on their personal ability and impact, plus the midfielder. With the cooperation, Arsenal's wing will be turned upside down, and they will not dare to invest too many troops in the wing attack.

In terms of midfield, Notts County removed the attacking midfield position and instead arranged three midfielders, so that they could cover the midfield defense in a wider range and respond to the defense and offense on the wing.

In this way, Arsenal's most advantageous offensive weapons have been contained, playing very awkward.

If the flanks can't get through, and the middle road doesn't have an advantage over Notts County's third-back midfielders, so what if more balls are passed from the backcourt and more ball possession is swiped?

Intuitively, compared with last season, Notts County's first line of defense has been raised by 30 meters, which is the most direct manifestation of Notts County's strength improvement.

The first two teams to show their swords was Notts County.

In the 16th minute of the game, Iniesta skillfully took the ball on the wing. It is not unreasonable for later generations to be known as the best player in the combination of man and ball. It seems that now,

Even in high-speed motion, the ball is still firmly stuck to the feet, never more than half a meter away from Iniesta's feet.

After attracting the attention of the three defenders, a wide-range transfer accurately found Ribery who was unmarked on the left.

Ribery stopped the ball directly and smeared it into the penalty area, dribbling the ball inwards and going to the middle, which is very likely to hit Huanglong.

Arsenal's back line was caught off guard and quickly shifted the focus of the defense, but it was too late.

Ribery didn't shoot, but knocked the ball across the middle, which he could easily do after disrupting the opponent's defense.

Meirelles volleyed the ball directly in the penalty area, and the ball felt deformed by his strong squeeze.

Facing the goal, Lehmann's expression remained the same, but his heart was actually depressed. Such a close distance and such a powerful force, what a pounce!

The fans of the home team at Highbury Stadium couldn't help but let out an exclamation. They never thought that it was their home team who was in danger first.

go in!

Meireles cried in his heart!

The other players of Notts County followed the ball with their eyes and trembled in their hearts.

If they can score, it is the best compliment to their progress. They can also break Arsenal's goal through an open and honest attack. Is there anything more exciting than this?

Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann jumped up suddenly, stretched his body, and struggled to reach the ball with both hands. He has been able to do the best he can.

But obviously, even the best goalkeeper can't guarantee the goal is not lost, otherwise it will not be called a goalkeeper, but a god.

After Lehmann landed, he looked down at the ball in the goal behind him, extremely frustrated.

Although Notts County has been called a new force in English football by countless media, no matter how fierce the quarrel, it cannot change the fact that Notts County is only a League One team, and it is this League One team. But in the game, he broke his own door with such a sharp offensive, let alone this depression.

You know, he had been depressed for a long time by Notts County last season. He thought he would be able to take revenge today, but he didn't expect that, before the revenge was paid, he once again needed to get the ball out of the goal. Come on out, this is the most tragic thing in the world.

Even if Arsenal scored consecutive goals and won Notts County, the team could advance to the next round of the FA Cup, but he still conceded in front of a first-tier team, this shame will still stay on himself, really Nothing to deal with.

Thinking of this, looking at the expressions of the teammates in the back line is a bit unpleasant. After all, if the team loses the ball, it is definitely not just to put the blame directly on the goalkeeper. Otherwise, what do you want your defenders to do?

Arsenal's loss of goals also made Wenger more annoyed. Although the FA Cup was not included in the list of strategic goals, after all, it was also a mix of the team's main team and substitutes. This lineup won the Premier League. I dare not say it. To compete for the championship, I dare not say that I will get a place in the Champions League, but at least it is not a problem to strive for a strong team position in the middle of the middle.

But it is a bit unacceptable that such a lineup that is enough to make many clubs envy to death has fallen behind in the upright confrontation with Notts County.

You know, Notts County did not want to put a bus in front of the door like last season, but competed with Arsenal at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends through the overall strength of the team, and did not fall behind, even speaking, the threat of attack is still To be bigger, isn't this goal the fruit of victory for Notts County's overall tactical play!

He turned his head and glanced at Loew, who was not far from him. Once upon a time, he was just a young coach who was not taken seriously by him. When facing him, he couldn't show good cards or good tactics. , can only rely on tenacious defense to deal with, but now it is completely different, whether it is player configuration or technical and tactical play, Notts County will not be inferior to Arsenal on the field, completely different.

This rate of progress is terrifying.

Looking at the average age of the Notts County first team, Wenger even had a chill in his heart.

If Notts County continues to grow at this rate, who can stop them from reaching the top in the future? (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for or enter the URL:
