Chapter 1787 The bus at the Emirates Stadium

"Tomorrow's game we will play 442."

Enable the 442 commonly used by the No. [-] lineup. This option can be used to advance, attack, retreat, and defend. It can be adjusted well when the team is in a disadvantageous situation.

The double forwards with Giroud and Walcott are a pure substitute striker lineup, and the same is true for the four midfield positions behind them except for Rosicky, who is at the core.

Chamberlain, Rosicky, De Jong and Cazorla, the four players have been lined up one after another. As the team's outstanding players in training during this period, they are the most suitable choices.

On the back line, this time, Mertesacker and Vermaelen, the two main defenders of the team, did not appear on the field. Phil Jones and Koscielny, who had not started for a long time, became the starters of this game.

There are two players Gibbs and Maicon at the left and right full-back positions, and the goalkeeper has changed from Fabianski to Szczesny.

Such a set of starters is much worse than the starting strength of the last FA Cup game, but it cannot be said that it is not enough to face an opponent like Norwich. After all, these starters are definitely enough for other teams to start.

"Tomorrow's game will be played in front of our house, don't lose face in front of the fans! Do you understand?"

"Understand the coach!"

"Very well, I will keep watching you off the court. If there is any problem, I will make substitutions as soon as possible."

"learn!"

Compared with the speeches to the main players, the professor seemed a bit too harsh on the substitute players, but this is also a matter of course.

In a competitively motivated team like Arsenal, if the substitute players cannot satisfy the coach, once the team starts to strengthen, they will sell these substitutes as soon as possible.

If you don't want to go, then it is necessary to create enough efficiency in the limited playing time given to you by the coach.

With a wave of his hand, he signaled the disbandment of the team, and all the players left the conference room with their own thoughts. Whether they were in the starting lineup or on the bench, the players were eager to try, and the players who were not in the roster began to worry.

The season is coming to an end. Although the team's current lineup and style of play have generally stabilized, judging from the strength of signings in these two seasons, it is very likely that there will be a wave of blood changes.

From now until the end of the season, how to make the professor feel that you are indispensable is a problem that everyone in this team needs to face except Liu Feng.

……

In the vertical sun, the morning in London comes very early, and the temperature has also picked up after entering April. Although there is still light rain from time to time, it is generally out of the need to wear a scarf.

Fans gathered outside the Emirates Stadium early on, with everyone discussing this week's fixture list.

The joy of successfully advancing to the FA Cup final has not faded away, and a league match and a UEFA Champions League knockout match with considerable suspense are in front of them. This is definitely a happy trouble for the fans.

The happiness is that there are more games to watch and more honors to look forward to, but the trouble is that the team's schedule is too dense.

But all of this dissipated as the red and white bus drove into the streets near the stadium.

"Arsenal! Arsenal! Auntie! Oh oh oh~, Arsenal is invincible!"

No matter what emotions they have in their hearts, seeing their players in uniforms, fans can always get extremely powerful power in their hearts.

This strength does not come out of thin air, but slowly accumulates with the victories of each game.

The team members sitting on the bus were not cold at all. They opened the windows and interacted with their fans.

As fierce a welcome as the Gunners entered the pitch, their rivals Norwich were booed as loudly as their rivals' bus was outside the pitch shortly after the Arsenal bus entered.

"Shh~~~"

"FXXX!"

Don't expect British football hooligans to be compared to British gentlemen, this is a magical country with two sides.

The low morale of the Norwich team, which already had no fan advantage, was further hit by such loud boos. If their coach hadn't repeatedly emphasized that the danger of relegation was imminent, the team might not have wanted to play against the league's No. [-] game at all.

However, even with such an emphasis, the gap in momentum between the two sides can still be clearly seen when the two sides are warming up.

This makes the game seem doomed from the very beginning.

After the warm-up, the two sides left the stadium and returned to the locker room, and then reappeared on the field after a short time. The protagonist of the game, Arsenal, received the most cheers, even the substitute lineup.

"Okay, the two sides have settled on the court. The first kick-off in this game is the Norwich team. Their two forwards Kamara and Hulahan are both ready."

"Shhhhhh!!!"

A whistle sounded, and the game officially kicked off. The Norwich team formed a 442 formation and first controlled the ball in their own half.

At least Giroud and Theo Walcott didn't have much impact on the opponents when they pressed across the half-court, and Norwich passed the half-time just five minutes into the game.

"The steady advance shifted the battlefield to the Arsenal half. Norwich's performance on the field was completely different from their dull pre-match performance. Midfielder Bennett continued to adjust the team's midfield."

At this moment, the Arsenal team had to put away the strong self-confidence brought to them by their own fans and media propaganda. The stability of the opponent made the players on the field calm down quickly.

They are a substitute lineup that cannot be overturned. In any case, it is the first priority not to allow the opponent to score. There is still the possibility of recovery in other offensive aspects.

Then, a magical scene appeared. Walcott, who had been lingering in the opponent's half with Giroud, chose to return to the defense. Arsenal's 442 formation directly changed into a 451 formation. The Gunners actually set up a bus formation at home.

"Starting to defend across the board, the Arsenal team was very cautious. This change caught the Norwich team a little off guard."

Good guy, the Norwich coach didn't expect their opponents to do such a trick. Seeing their own offense advancing in an orderly manner, it was really unexpected that they would suddenly face a bus or something.

So, after another 5 minutes of pulling, the Norwich team failed to complete the shot after all. Their offense could no longer continue after penetrating to the top of the arc of the Gunners' penalty area.

"De Jong and Phil Jones combined to intercept the ball, Arsenal won the ball back, and their dense defense made the opponent helpless."
