When Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal players stood in two straight lines and slowly walked out of the player channel under the leadership of the referee Philip Dodd, the slightly fat English local whistle immediately received some sparse cheers from the Emirates Stadium.

Before every strong dialogue, there will inevitably be some verbal battle between supporters of two strong teams. For example, before this North London derby, the Independent, which represents Arsenal's position, took the lead in launching a round of offensives. From players to referees, they are trying hard to create factors that are beneficial to Arsenal.

Philip Dodd is in his forties and is an international referee in England. He has rich law enforcement experience, but because of his slightly fat body, many people have always doubted his athletic ability. However, this referee is not a piece of cartilage. On the contrary, he is very hard and has a personality.

So far this season, Philip Dodd has enforced many Premier League games and is called a giant killer by the media because in the four games he enforced, including Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea, these four teams either tied or lost, and it is interesting that their opponents are not strong teams.

Of course, Philip Dodd has also enforced other games, such as Newcastle's big victory over Sunderland, and the Magpie played very well, while Philip O won the whistle in the away League Cup match against Chelsea.

This made the Independent, which represented Arsenal's position before the game, believe that Tottenham Hotspur, a giant team, will suffer its first defeat in the past nine months under the enforcement of Philip Dodd, and Arsenal will take advantage of the victory of the North London derby to enter the top four of the league again.

But some newspapers supporting Tottenham Hotspur have made completely different explanations from fans, believing that Philip Dodd is a giant killer. So far, Tottenham Hotspur is not a giant, but Arsenal has always regarded himself as a giant in the Premier League, so this game will definitely be Tottenham Hotspur defeating Arsenal.

Judging from the performance of the past few rounds of the game, many teams including Arsenal and Chelsea have obviously encountered bottlenecks. Chelsea's performance has declined a lot in the early stages of the game season. There is no need to say more. Just look at the standings. Although Arsenal has won two consecutive games in the past two rounds, its performance is difficult to satisfy, and winning is also very bumpy.

But Tottenham's recent situation is very amazing. He won the game with big scores. The trident combination of Messi, Ribery and Cavani showed amazing power. Cavani played the role of disrupting the opponent's defense in the front. Messi and Ribery relied on their strong personal abilities and excellent sense of back insertion, and used the space created by Cavani to disrupt the game to score goals.

Such a tactic seems simple and not complicated to say, but the problem is that it is difficult to defend against.

Compared with Tottenham's strong offensive ability, Arsenal's defense is a difficult problem.

Goalkeepers are already an old problem. Even during the period of Lehman and Amunia, Arsenal's goal has never been relieved. The central defender has always been criticized since Campbell, Galas, Sylvester, Sendros and Colo Toure.

This season, central defender Vermullen was introduced from Ajax, but the Belgian is currently injured and will miss this game. Many professionals have not had a high opinion of Vermullen. It is just that the media almost always praised him because of his consecutive goals in the early stage of the season. Moreover, some media reported that this player had been spotted by Ye Qiu.

Wenger also took the initiative to fire before the game. In an interview with the media, he said that Tottenham's strength is like a bubble that is constantly blown up by the outside world, and Arsenal is like a needle that will pierce this huge bubble.

Ye Qiu also fought back against the provocation from Wenger, "When I heard Wenger say that we were a big bubble, a fairy tale, the emperor's new outfit, popped up in my mind."

"Wenger is the emperor in the fairy tale. The whole world knows that you are naked, but you still have to pretend that you are wearing clothes and try hard to pretend that everything is normal. I believe this game will let everyone see the truth."

The pre-match war of words also ignited the enthusiasm of the fans, but it has to be said that the Emirates Stadium is quite large, but there are not many seats, and the home atmosphere is very bad. This is not a matter of one or two days. Even the Arsenal players themselves say that they think the Emirates Stadium is not like the home court of a football game, but more like an entertainment venue.

But it was the North London derby, and the Arsenal fans have also carefully arranged this game.

When the two teams were listed together to walk into the stadium, they first used cheers to please Philippe Dodd. There was also a bit of a prank here, which means that we welcome you, a rich killer, to help us lose Tottenham Hotspur's damn enemy.

Then, the live commentator of Emirates Stadium also introduced the team's starting lineup to Arsenal fans who came to the scene.

The goalkeeper is Fabianski, Krish, Koscheerny, Squillac and Sarnia in the back line, Arteta, Alexander, Song and Denilson in the middle, and Rossiki, Chamak and Nasri in the front court.

Arsenal's defense has always been criticized. In this game, Wenger was absent due to injury, including Koscheerney and Squillac, who just joined the team this season. In addition, goalkeeper Fabianski, who has always been a substitute, has also made many people more worried about Arsenal's defense in this game.

You know, they are facing the attack line of Tottenham Hotspur, which is now in a purple state. Can such a lineup stop Tottenham Hotspur like a wolf?

Long before the game, the Independent had made such a call, hoping that Arsenal fans could create a more enthusiastic home atmosphere in this game, because data shows that the extremely enthusiastic home atmosphere can more effectively guide the referee to favor the home team's psychology, and the probability is about 16%.

Therefore, after the players entered the game, when the on-site commentator introduced the team's starting lineup, whenever the commentator reads a player's name, there is a burst of cheers in the stands on the scene, and the momentum is quite loud. At this time, the flattered Arsenal players will wave to the stands to the stands.

"Will this become the psychological pressure of these players instead?" Ye Qiu felt very funny when he saw this scene.

The commentator chanted a name, and the fans on the scene cheered loudly, as if they were very impressive, which was quite scary.

After Ye Qiu and Mauro Tassoti and others walked out of the player channel, he went straight to the home team coaching seat and shook hands with Wenger and several acquaintances in the Arsenal coaching team. Ye Qiu had a good relationship with Wenger and was also familiar with his coaching teams, but both sides maintained restrained distantness before the game. After all, this game is very important to both sides.

So, after shaking hands, Ye Qiu chose to go back, while the court was guessing the side, Tottenham Hotspur got the kick-off, while Messi and Cavani stood in the middle circle to prepare for the kick-off.

With the whistle of referee Philip Dodd, the most popular key game in the 14th round of the Premier League finally ignited the war, and the most excited one was Andy Grey, who was sitting in the stands in charge of commenting on the game.

Andy O'Grey can be seen in almost every important round of events.

"The game finally started, Tottenham Hotspur kicked off, we saw..."

Before Andy Grey could finish his words, he saw Tottenham Hotspur quickly passed the ball to the backcourt. After Thiago Silva stopped the ball, he looked up at the front and directly kicked a long pass over the top against the ball.

Just saw Ribery rushing forward quickly on the left, while the Arsenal defense line led by Sarnia and Squillac was retreating.

Ribery received the ball on the left and faced Sarnia. One-on-one, he saw Ribery with an extremely skillful fake move and acted to go down the bottom. But after tricking Sarnia into moving, he used his flexibility to turn inward, blocked Sarnia with his body, and drove the ball to the penalty area.

After seeing Ribery break through his teammates, Squillac rushed forward to intercept Ribery at the first time, but after the Frenchman stopped and spiked the ball, he drifted past Squillac again. He forced two Arsenal defensive players in a row on the wing and rushed to the bottom line.

"Beautiful Ribery has been in succession, Tottenham Hotspur broke into the penalty area for the first attack." Andy Grey couldn't help but exclaim, "Let's take a look at this attack..."

Koscheerny and Squillac also quickly returned to the penalty area. They blocked Ribery's inward cut through very well, preventing the French from having the opportunity to face the goal directly. Ribery attracted three defensive players including Sarnia, Squillac and Koscheerny, so that Alexander O'Song had to return to the defense penalty area quickly.

Ribery saw goalkeeper Fabianski also stood in a favorable position, and he obviously had no chance, so Yu Qian no longer had a rude attack. Suddenly, he knocked back and passed the ball back to the front of the penalty area. At this moment, David Silva followed up and swung his left foot and shot a curve ball outside the penalty area.

The speed of this kick was not too fast, but the angle was too tricky. Fabiansky, whose position was already close to the left post, could not block the upper right corner, but it was precisely because he was too pursuing angle that the shot was slightly higher than the goal, and rubbed the post and went out of the baseline.

There was a clear exhalation from the audience, and all Arsenal fans were filled with the joy of surviving the disaster.

"In less than thirty seconds of the game, Tottenham Hotspur showed their excellent offensive state. After a week of game rest, their condition was adjusted very well and the offense was very threatening, especially Ribery's one-on-three." Andy O Gray continued the slow-motion replay of the game, and greatly appreciated Ribery's personal show after the opening.

The reason why Tottenham's frontcourt trident is that both the left and right wings have outstanding personal strength, but at the same time, their teamwork ability is also very strong and tacit understanding. Coupled with a very huge tactical role, the tactical effect of Tottenham's trident is very obvious.

Maybe you will know how to defend, but that is only theoretically, and it is difficult for you to defend on the football field, because Tottenham Hotspur's offense is not only once, but keeps maintaining offensive pressure for ninety minutes. Moreover, their offensive routines are not constant, but are constantly changing according to the situation.

And more importantly, Tottenham Hotspur's offensive weapons are not just offensive routines.

In the second minute, Tottenham Hotspur launched an offensive from the left, Ribery ate Sarnia one-on-one again, but the cross was blocked by Squillac from the baseline. David Silva took a corner kick, Kompany beat Squillac from the front point and hit a back post. Fortunately, Fabianski stretched out his leg to block the ball out of the goal as the center of gravity moved to the left.

The two consecutive waves of attacks made Arsenal's goal-winning panic, and everyone saw Tottenham's excellent game state and almost overwhelming strength advantage.

"From the current lineups of both sides, Tottenham Hotspur has indeed gained an advantage in strength. Arsenal's lineup, especially the defensive lineup, is indeed full of temptation for Tottenham Hotspur, so Ye Qiu will launch a desperate attack at the beginning of the game, because he knows that for Arsenal, who has weak defense, offense is the best defense, but we don't know whether Wenger has a targeted arrangement of Tottenham Hotspur's tactics."

After the game, Tottenham Hotspur’s move is not a secret at all. The key is whether you can defend it and how long your defense can last. This is the key to the problem.

Arsenal's defense was afraid of Drogba in the past, because Drogba kept ravaging the unlucky defenders in the frontcourt, but Cavani was not inferior, because although his body was not as strong as Drogba, the important thing was that he could run, and he would use his constant running to drag you to death.

For such an opponent, it is useless to keep the start. The key is whether you can keep it until the end.

After trying two left attacks, Tottenham Hotspur changed direction this time, on the right.

Messi grabbed the ball on the right, but Krish and Arteta who returned to defend prevented him from doing whatever he wanted, so Messi passed it back to Fabregas, and then ran to the middle, immediately attracting Krish to the middle, but Alves on the right rushed forward at high speed. After Fabregas got the ball, he immediately scored a pass over the top and gave it to Alves in front.

I saw Alves rushing up quickly, after chasing the ball, he directly crossed the ball and hung it to the middle of the penalty area. Cavani blocked Koscheerny with his body in the penalty area, and shook his head to push Alves' cross to the goal. But this time Fabianski judged Cavani's only attacking angle early, and the ball directly pushed into his arms.

Cavani shook his head and smiled bitterly, giving Alves a thumbs up, but looked at Koscheerny with a little resentment. If there wasn't this central defender behind him, he could consider pushing a counter-angle. Fabiansky would be done, but because Koscheerny was there, his shooting angle was blocked, and Fabiansky easily judged it.

Although it failed to achieve results, Tottenham's attack this time was very threatening.

"In less than five minutes of the game, Tottenham Hotspur had three shots. We saw that Arsenal's defense was really as Ye Qiu said before the game. Just like the emperor's new suit, he stood naked in front of Tottenham Hotspur's muzzle. Tottenham Hotspur from North London did not have any sympathy and directly pressed it down and went on."

Andy Grey had to sigh. Judging from the start of the game, Tottenham Hotspur has been in good shape recently, especially the team's offense, but this also reflects another fact, that is, Arsenal's defense, not only defense, but also the overall lineup of the Gunners. There is indeed a big gap with Tottenham Hotspur.

Of course, Rosici, Nasri, or Arteta and Alexander O'Song all have European-level strength, but the question is, besides these players, do Arsenal have other stars that can stand out?

When the individual's strength gap finally piles up into the overall gap of the team, the originally small gap will turn into a huge gap of strength.

Arsenal has not performed well in playing strong teams so far this season, and it has even been like this in the previous few seasons. If it is only once and half times, then it is not said, but when you encounter strong teams for a long time, you will not play well, and then you have to make people wonder whether your team is really strong or fake.

"Since the start of the game, Arsenal was hit by Tottenham Hotspur who played away. He has not had a shot yet. Wenger seems to be anxious about this situation and frequently goes to the sidelines to command."

Andy Grey sympathizes with Arsenal. After all, the top Premier League team that has always been the first to win the championship, and being hit by the arch-rivals in the same city and district is simply a one-sided situation. It is indeed very embarrassing and embarrassing.

"Now for Arsenal, the most important thing is to stabilize the situation first and defend its goal, so that there will be a chance to create a counterattack. As long as there is a counterattack, Tottenham's offensive will be weakened, and the defensive pressure will naturally be relaxed."

This is what Ye Qiu said. There is never absolute football matches, only relative, what Andy Grey wants to say now. The famous English Premier League speaker is not only passionate in commentary, but also has very high professional knowledge and football tactical literacy.
