The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 1353
1353 Gunners Against Arsenal in the Rain
March 21, 2010, Emirates Stadium, London, England.
The weather in London is not very good today, because it is drizzling in the sky.
This still had some impact on the match, although it was not big.
However, this did not stop the enthusiasm of the fans of the two teams. They came to the scene to cheer for their team and cheer enthusiastically.
The fans were naturally very excited and happy. This match was a very, very important match for both teams. This was related to their position at the top of the league.
Arsenal fans have come a lot today to fill up the Emirates Stadium.
Countless media reporters were very excited. Looking at the Arsenal fans, Arsenal were very powerful in this match. They were here for the Premier League championship.
In the stands, countless Arsenal fans were holding up plastic or inflatable Premier League trophies. They are still pulling up banners in support of Arsenal, claiming they will be the Premier League champions this season.
The Arsenal fans were really excited, even a little too excited.
There were quite a few Leeds United fans on the road today. This time, they had about 5,000 players. This was a very impressive formation.
Arsenal have done a lot better than Chelsea in this respect, at least giving Leeds United so many places.
Leeds United fans are wearing white jackets, supporting Leeds United.
Leeds United fans also pulled up banners to support their team. At the same time, they also pulled up many posters of Zhong Cheng. They believed that Zhong Cheng could lead Leeds United to success.
Leeds United will win this match.
Leeds United fans are unconditionally supportive of the Leeds United team, they firmly believe that Zhong Cheng is able to lead the Leeds United team to victory.
The Leeds United fans were very excited and passionately singing the Leeds United team song.
“Today, we are going to play a big game in the 31st Premier League game of the season, against Leeds United and Arsenal!” BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson immediately shouted.
This match was the highlight of the Premier League, and countless fans were watching it. They all felt that they would definitely win this match. They were all cheering for their team.
“This is a very important game for both teams and we believe it will be a very, very exciting game. But who will win in the end is unknown to us.” BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson said.
The Leeds United fans immediately shouted in excitement.
The Leeds United fans saw the Leeds United players walk out of the players’ passageway. The game was about to start.
The referee who led the way was Howard Webber.
This guy was not bad for Leeds United. Previously, the game of refereeing Leeds United was really a mixed blessing. He felt that it was very fair. It shouldn’t have happened to Martin Atkinson in the last game.
After the last game, Martin Atkinson was miserable. He was scolded silly by Leeds United fans. Many Leeds United fans went to his online social networking platform to curse and vent their anger.
Moreover, there are still a lot of media planning rules that criticize Martin Atkinson.
Many media reporters believe that Martin Atkinson’s sentence is indeed problematic, at least in terms of scale. Martin Atkinson is indeed targeting Leeds United.
The matter of Martin Atkinson has caused a lot of repercussions.
At the very least, Martin Atkinson felt a lot of pressure here. Although the FA did not intervene, it was said that the FA did mention Martin Atkinson, but it did not put it on the surface.
This round, Martin Atkinson was supposed to be in charge of refereeing, but it was stopped not long ago. Martin Atkinson doesn’t have law enforcement.
The FA also wants Martin Atkinson to stay out of the limelight.
In this round, the pressure on the other Premier League enforcers was also very great. After all, many media reporters and even the FA are watching them now, so they naturally feel a lot of pressure.
In particular, referee Howard Webber of Leeds United and Arsenal is under even more pressure!
But for now, Howard Webber looks relaxed.
Howard Webb led the players from both teams into the Emirates Stadium and the game was about to begin.
“Alright, the players from both sides have already walked out of the players’ passageway. The match is about to start. Now we can use this time to introduce the starting lineup of both sides. Please listen up!” Eddie Gray said immediately.
The starting lineup for today is as follows:
Home: Arsenal, Coach: Arsène Wenge, Formation: 4-4-2
Goalkeeper: Almunia
Four defenders “from left to right”: Kieran Gibson, Coscielny, Vermaelen and Emmanuel Eboue
Four midfielders “from left to right”: Andrei Arshavin, Fabregas, Abu Diaby and Wilshire
Double strikers: Nicklas Bendtner and Van Persie
Yes, this is Arsenal’s starting lineup for this game. This is the starting lineup.
Of course, Arsenal’s defensive line is relatively young, Koscielny and Vermaelen’s central defensive team is a lot of people are not at ease. But this season, the duo’s partnership is very good, Arsenal is currently ranked third in the Premier League, these two people’s contribution is very obvious.
This is what Arsenal fans affectionately call the steel defence, claiming the duo will be the foundation of Arsenal’s future defence. Arsenal fans are very supportive of the two and like them very much.
However, in Zhong Cheng’s opinion, this pair of defensive partners still had some problems.
Koscielny and Vermaelen’s abilities are not bad, but there are still some problems with the two of them. The gap between the two was Leeds United’s chance. Zhong Cheng believed that Leeds United could win this match.
Guest: Leeds United, Head Coach: Zhong Cheng, Formation: 4-1-3-2
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Patrick Aver, Compani, David Louis and Lichtsteiner
Single waist: Sammy Hedilla
Three avant-garde “left to right”: Eden Azar, Mesut Özil and Marco Reus
Double strikers: Levandovsky and Jamie Vardy
This was the starting lineup for Leeds United today. From the looks of it, it was obvious that their offensive strength was much weaker than when they were at their peak.
The suspension of Cristiano Ronaldo’s red card has had a particular impact on Leeds United. Gareth Bale, the ace on the left, is also recovering from an injury and is not playing, which has had the same effect on Leeds United.
In this way, both sides of Leeds United are substitutes.
Alexander Pato was slightly strained in training, though the impact was not particularly severe. However, he was unable to play in this match. He did not even enter the bench and did not even come to London. Instead, he stayed at Leeds.
So Leeds United fans are still worried.
Leeds United’s offensive power has dropped a lot, but Leeds United’s defensive strength is still very strong. The Leeds United players believe in the result and will win this game.
Now, the players on both sides are standing on the pitch very calmly.
The match is about to begin.
Zhong Cheng sat in his seat, his eyes fixed on the field.
Zhong Cheng looked very calm, but Albertini, who was sitting beside them, was a little nervous. He was really nervous, not as calm as he was when he was a player.
This match was related to Leeds United’s championship position.
At this moment, the referee, Howard Webber, blew the whistle at the start of the match.
With a bang, the first to kick off was Arsenal, the home team, which quickly rolled into midfield. After Fabregas caught the ball, he glanced at the front court. Then, with a big foot, he passed it diagonally and the football flew out of the sidelines …
At the beginning of the game, Arsenal made a mistake, or a serious mistake.
The Arsenal fans immediately applauded and cheered for the Arsenal players. The game had just begun. Don’t be anxious, don’t be nervous.
Leeds United players in white shirts immediately threw the ball from the sidelines and the ball flew to the feet of midfielder Mesut Özil. Mesut Özil didn’t stop the ball, but took advantage of the situation to sweep the ball diagonally under Patrick Aver’s feet on the defensive line.
Patrick Aver kicked the ball very hard and it flew towards the front edge of the field.
The football landed quickly at the foot of Marco Reus, who had just caught the ball when the Arsenal defenders rushed forward, and Emmanuel Eboue rushed forward and stabbed the football out with a stretch of his leg.
The football rolled off the sidelines quickly and Arsenal defended well.
At the beginning of the match, the rhythm was extremely fast. It could be seen that the two teams were facing each other head-on, and neither of them was inferior to the other.
The fans at the scene immediately applauded in support of the two teams. They believe their team will not let them down, attacking.
Leeds United immediately tossed out the sideline ball. Marco Reus played with Mesut Özil in succession, and then Marco Reus sent an arc straight towards Lewandowski in the restricted area.
Unfortunately, the football was pushed out by Vermaelen at the front, and the Arsenal fans immediately gave him thunderous applause.
Good job.
