Chapter 1737 The Intense Competition
Taking advantage of being at home, on the day of the match, the Arsenal team spent another half-hour at their training base before heading to the Emirates Stadium.

In this game, the team's state was not good but not bad either. The professor finally chose the 4231 formation after several considerations.

Liu Feng was placed on the single arrow, behind him were Wilshere, Ganso and Ramsey, and then behind him was the combination of De Jonga Granero, who played a role in the last game and performed obviously well.

Such a five midfielder is offensive and defensive and has enough thickness, and the high-altitude ball protection of several players is quite good. This is an effective restraint for Everton, who likes to play traditional long passes in the Premier League.

In the defense, Alba and Alves are on the left and right, and Mertesacker and Vermaelen are paired at the back. This is the strongest back line used by the Gunners.

As for the goalkeeper position, the Gunners' current goalkeeper Szczesny naturally does his part.

Generally speaking, after setting up such a lineup, the Gunners seem to have both offensive and defensive ends. The fast break and fast defense of Wigan's midfielder and Liu Feng are enough to cause a lot of trouble for the opponent.

Granero and De Jong are a combination of long-passing masters and stealing engineers as the team's second midfield defense line, and they may directly connect with the striker Liu Feng at any time.

The tactics formulated by the professor for the team are ball possession tactics and counterattacks, which fit this formation and lineup very well.

Perhaps the only thing that Wenger regrets is that Rosicky suffered a small injury in the last game. He cannot start this game. Otherwise, as the team's midfielder that best fits his own concept of passing and control, Rosicky will definitely play in this game.

When the Gunners arrived at the Emirates Stadium, their opponents Everton had also traveled a long way.

Compared with Arsenal, which played three games a week, Everton is extremely relaxed. They have only one game throughout the week, which is the matchup with Arsenal.

The gap between the sixth position in the league and the fourth in the league is within three points. They have spent six days preparing for this game. From almost every angle and tactics, their coach Moyes has targeted them all over the place.

For Moyes, who has taken over Everton for more than ten years, there are almost no situations where his team can implement his tactics.

Therefore, when they came to the Emirates Stadium to start warming up, the morale of the Toffees team was quite high.

Although it's an away game, their opponents are already exhausted enough to play three games a week. If they can't beat them with all their energy, they should not be able to enter the Champions League.

From the beginning of the warm-up, the Everton players looked at the Gunners with a challenging look in their eyes. They can't wait to experience the opponent's strength at the home court of the league leader opposite.

Time flies, and the time from warm-up to the start of the game passes quickly.

When the two sides stood on the court and Everton took the lead to get the kick-off and put it away, all eyes were on the court.

"Shh!!!"

"China Central Television, CCTV, good evening, viewers and friends, you are watching the 2012-2013 season Premier League No. 20 match between Arsenal and Everton at home. I am the commentator Liu Jianhong."

"Hi everyone, I'm the commentator Zhan Jun."

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially started. The eyes of the two commentators followed the camera to the Everton team. Zhan Jun took the lead in introducing the starting lineup of this team.

"Moyes formed a 442 formation for his team in this game. At the forward position, Miralas and Anichebe played together. From left to right, the four midfielders were Fellaini, Gibson, Osman and Pienaar..."

There are very few stars in Everton's formation, but this reflects the value of this team's ability to firmly hold the top six positions in the league this season.

In the four-back position, Distin, Jagielka, Barnes and Coleman, who are not well-known this season but are actually the best defense lines in the Premier League, all started.

As for the goalkeeper position, it is American goalkeeper Howard.

During the period when Zhan Jun introduced the starting lineup, Everton’s passing in their own midfield also came to an end. As Liu Feng of the Gunners and the three midfielders gradually pressed forward, Gibson, who was in possession of the ball in the middle, made a diagonal point, and Fellaini on the left got the ball.

As a young player who is now highly valued in the Everton team, Fellaini showed his own characteristics as soon as he took the ball. With a push with his long legs, he followed and entered the Gunners' half.

The three midfielders of the Arsenal team quickly retreated to supplement the defense, while the two midfielders Granero and De Jong watched from the left and the right.

"De Jong and Fellaini are facing each other head-on. The veteran did not rush to grab but kept slowly retreating to slow down Fellaini's speed."

Ramsey's recovery speed is very fast. When Fellaini was still thinking about how to deal with the ball at his feet, Ramsey was already very close to him.

When Gibson, who was responding in the middle, echoed and waved loudly, Fellaini hurriedly passed the ball.

However, before Gibson received the ball, Gan Suo kicked the ball with a cross-leg kick after chasing it back.

"Directly destroyed the opponent's pass, the ball quickly rolled towards Granero, and even stopped, Granero did not allow Anichebe's counter-attack to succeed, and played a long pass to transfer!"

"Shu~"

With a long pass from Granero, the ball has left the backcourt and returned to the opponent's half.

Wilshere, the only one on the left who was slow to chase back, turned and rushed forward. When the ball fell, he stretched his right thigh and broke the ball.

"Arsenal's attack started. Wilshere, who was dribbling the ball, moved fast and pushed all the way. This is the time for the home team to attack."

The offense and defense were switched in an instant, but Arsenal's offense was also fully prepared by Everton early on.

When the small threat reached the threat area, there was already a follow-up player in front of him and a follow-up player on the side to interfere with him.

Seeing that there was no chance to continue advancing, Wilshere decisively chose to split the ball out, and Gan Suo, who was responding to him, took the ball along the way.

Then, before Ganso could make a move, two more defensive players double-teamed him. This time he was not as lucky as Wilshere, and the defenders close to him quickly pushed and shoved. Soon, Ganso couldn't hold the ball steadily.

"The ball was broken at Ganso's feet and Everton's tight pressing helped."

Looking at the anxious situation on the court, everyone clearly realized that it would be difficult to achieve a result without some fighting.

On the pitch, with the cheers of Arsenal fans and Everton fans, the game became more and more intense.
