Chapter 1557

"Okay, two teams have shown up on the pitch."

It was not a long wait for the two sides to re-appear. After the two sides followed the referee group and entered the field aggressively, one left and one right, there was a huge roar in the sky above the Olympic Stadium.

"The captains of both sides stood firm in front of the referee, oh~, West Ham United chose the right to kick-off in the first half. This team just rushed to the Premier League through the brutal British Championship play-offs last season."

As a veteran Premier League team, West Ham United's record in recent years is really not good. In the 2010-2011 season, this team ranked last and fell into the British Championship.

Then in the 2011-2012 season, they had to play a cruel promotion play-off with Blackpool, who had already fought in the Premier League last season.

Fortunately, under the leadership of coach Allardyce, the strong Hammers came out. With Ricardo Vast's lore goal in the 87th minute, they successfully advanced with a score of 2-1.

In the new season, they obviously brought the momentum of last season to the Premier League.

In the games since the start of this season, West Ham United has achieved three wins, two draws and one loss with 11 points and is firmly ranked seventh in the league. It does not look like a newly promoted horse at all.

"Forward Nolan and his partner Carroll stand at the tee box and the game begins."

"Shhhhhh!!!"

As soon as Zhan Jun finished speaking, the opening whistle rang throughout the stadium. As the ball was pushed directly, the league contest kicked off.

At the beginning of the game, the 442 formation formed by West Ham United was very clear. Carroll received a pass from Nolan and made a cross.

"Solid possession to start the game, West Ham continued at home with the same consistency they've had since the start of the season."

Allardyce stood calmly on the sidelines. Like him, there was also a professor standing in another coaching area. The coaches of both sides obviously did not attack regardless of the opening in terms of tactical arrangements.

Therefore, in the first 15 minutes of the game, the main entanglement between the two sides was kept within the middle circle. The three midfielders of the Gunners and the four midfielders of West Ham United became the protagonists of the game.

"Vas, Nobel, Diame and Jarvis formed the midfield of West Ham United in this game. They are all veterans who have been following the team and are deeply trusted by Allardyce."

Zhan Jun took the time to introduce the starters of West Ham United. Except for the forwards Carroll and Nolan, he quickly introduced the home team's back line.

"A combination of four defenders, Demel, McCartney, Collins and Liete formed a defensive line, and the goalkeeper was Jasklainen."

As a mid-lower team in the Premier League, West Ham United has always been operating on a small budget. Except for sometimes accepting some little monsters sent by the giants to train the team, there is no star flavor in the team.

But this does not mean that this team has no threat and strength. Under the leadership of Allardyce, this team can be said to have played tricks on the traditional Premier League style of play this season.

In addition to the toughness in the midfield, whether it is the kick pass from the two wingers or the long pass from the midfielder, he has the experience of breaking through the opponent's defense.

And the first goal of the game came in the same way.

In the 20th minute of the game, the midfielder of West Ham United advanced with the ball. Nobel, who had the ball, gave the ball to Jarvis on the left under the pressure of Ramsey.

Such a choice made the Gunners defenders stunned. With Vermaelen stuck on Carroll, they really couldn't imagine the threat of such a direct cross from the opponent.

Then, the next moment, after Vermaelen jumped high with the opponent but felt the reaction force as if he had hit a wall, he realized that something was wrong.

"Carol flicked the ball with a header, and the ball went directly into the penalty area. Vermaelen, who was defending close to him, failed to limit his pass!"

"Oh!"

The next moment, Nolan appeared after being chased by Mertesacker. Facing the ball from his teammates, the striker volleyed the ball without any fancy.

"Duang!"

The ball hit the lower edge of the goal crossbar and bounced into the penalty area without giving Szczesny any chance to react.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"

The field controller of the Olympic Stadium directly elongated his voice and loudly announced the birth of the goal. The players of West Ham United also began to celebrate wildly, and they were very excited about the fact that the team scored the first goal.

"The goal was scored~ West Ham United used an uncomplicated tactic to penetrate the Gunners' defense. In this game, the Arsenal team was a little too underestimated. They failed to block the opponent's attack in the middle."

Seeing the birth of the goal, Zhan Jun and Liu Jianhong were a little stunned for the first time. From Jarvis' kick-off from the wing to the connection between the two high center forwards in the middle of West Ham United, everything happened too quickly.

While it was normal for the Arsenal players to fish the ball out of the goal and drive it to the tee box for kick-off, everything was overshadowed in the eyes of their supporters.

Wouldn't this game be the end of the team's invincibility?

Some pessimistic Gun fans couldn't help thinking about it after watching a group of players they didn't know break through their gates so easily.

Under such circumstances, the Arsenal players on the field were very calm and indifferent. After Liu Feng and Giroud stood still in front of the serving point, they quietly waited for West Ham to finish celebrating.

Then, after the referee blew another whistle, Giroud took the ball.

"Liu Feng received the ball and gave it to Gan Suo in the midfield. Arsenal fell behind 0-1. They made a wonderful pass. Gan Suo directly went up to the two midfielders."

A crisp fried ball, just when Zhan Jun wanted to say something more, the next moment the ball was sent out by Gansuo like a scalpel.

"Aguero took the ball, and the Gunners launched an attack as soon as the game opened. When the opponent had nine players hoarded in the half, Aguero quickly changed direction to dodge Demel's steal. This kick was too hasty~"

When the opponent pressed on like this, the West Ham United players' lagging behind in the British Championship for a year was reflected. They didn't know that Aguero's sister-in-law's Demel's stealing failure directly opened up their left for the Gunners.

"From the right side diagonally into the penalty area, Aguero alone disturbed West Ham United's backcourt. Two players began to try to pinch him and play the ball in an inverted triangle!"
