When Simon Grayson entered the visiting team's locker room, his face was smiling, but Eric Black, who was following him, knew it. Just the moment he pushed open the door, Simon Grayson's face was still frowning. "Professor" Wenger fully understood the tactics of Leeds United. Leeds United's offense could not be made at all, and there was no way to create a truly threatening shot. When the situation was behind or away, Leeds United was really difficult to make a difference.

"Hey, guys, do you think the game is over?"

Simon Grayson looked at the players with their heads hanging in front of him, and his face was full of confidence: "Do you know? At the Emirates Stadium, no team can leave easily with a victory, because this is the Gunners' lair! You may not have noticed that in the past few seasons, although Arsenal has not been able to win the league championship, this team that is good at playing at home has not allowed any team that eventually won the championship to get a bargain. Whether it is Manchester United, Manchester City, or Chelsea, it will be very difficult for anyone to win a victory here."

"So, do you think it's hard to accept that we were just one goal behind in the first half? No, no, I think it's okay, at least we didn't fall behind two goals, and... do you really think that Leeds can already be with Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and even Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and they are of the same level team?"

After Simon Grayson asked this, Leeds players began to seriously consider the true strength of their team. After the English Premier League started this season, in addition to losing to Everton, Leeds United was smooth sailing. Even the "Red Devils" Manchester United won away, which also made the team a little "floating" and made the "Youth Guards" feel that they have become a first-class team in the English Premier League, but in fact... how is this possible?

How can a newly promoted team who has just been promoted to the Super League be a top-notch team?

The miracle of winning the championship created by teams such as Kaiserslautern, Ipswich, Nottingham Forest has really become an impossible miracle today when the money is getting more and more powerful.

Today, no matter whether it is the English Premier League or the league of any European country, the higher the level, the less likely it is to have a miracle of "upgraded teams to win the championship", because those truly strong teams have sufficient strength by relying on years of accumulation and years of fiscal investment. For example, Manchester City's investment in "Blue Moon" is unimaginable, but it has also gone through four years of accumulation to win the league championship last season.

As the newly promoted team this season, although they have gained strong players like "Beast" Tevez in the transfer market, including star players such as Zach Thompson, Jonny Hausen, Ben Parker, and Ameobi, the strength of the rest of the team is not enough. Dawson, Red and others have good potential, but they are still too young. The youth is too much. The level of Bentley, Snold Grass, Bechio and others can only be regarded as ordinary players in the English Premier League.

After seeing the players' expressions change, Simon Grayson sighed helplessly: Alas, the promoted team is the promoted team after all, now... it's time to wake up.

"Young guys, most of you are still very young. We are a young team, so we should move forward more down-to-earth, rather than being too ambitious to think about the championship, the qualifications of the Champions League, etc. Play every game well, you can gain something and improve in every game, and then you won't have to participate in the so-called relegation battle in the standings. In fact, this is our goal this season!"

After hearing the head coach's words, captain Jonny Hausen couldn't help but sigh. He knew that the head coach was right, but he felt uncomfortable. He originally thought that the team might be able to qualify for the Champions League this season, but now it seems... it's not that easy!

The atmosphere in the away team's locker room was a bit depressed, and the home team's locker room also seemed a little nervous. "Professor" Wenger was pouring cold water on his players: "Don't think we are fighting at home and leading with one goal will definitely win. Let me tell you, although Leeds United is a newly promoted team, their combat effectiveness is really strong. Look at the left offensive system composed of Shaq, Jonny Hausen and Ben Parker... Sagner, tell your teammates, how much pressure you have been under, and Song, tell me where you were doing too much in the first half of the event, and Michael, tell everyone, how much chance you have to intervene in the first half of the game? Come, tell everyone!"

The three people who were mentioned by Wenger, Sagner, Song and Arteta, all spoke quickly.

Sagner took the lead and said: "That Jonny Hausen is very fast and has a strong breakthrough ability. I only dared to rush up to assist in the first half."

Song said quickly: "Yes, Leeds United's offense on the left is very strong. I hardly supported the side of Leiden. Their offense is a bit unbalanced."

Arteta said: "I think the left offensive composed of Shaq, Jonny Hausen and Ben Parker of Leeds United has reached the level of becoming a system. There are multiple offensive cooperation routines between them and the tacit understanding is very high, especially when they play in the frontcourt and the forwards are very close. They really put a lot of pressure on me, and I really don't have many opportunities to rush up to attack."

Although "Professor" Wenger was off the court, he was able to see everything on the court clearly. After his three disciples spoke, he continued: "You all heard it? You must understand that the opponent is not a cat or a dog. They are very threatening. We must put in 100% effort to defeat them! In the second half, everyone cheered me up and gave me, Sagner, Laurent, Thomas, you must pay more attention to Leeds United's left off attack and never let the connection between them and the forwards be restored. You did a good job in the first half, but you must not Songxi in the second half. Do you understand?"

"Yes, boss!"

Vermalen, Kschelini, Sagener, and Song had no objection to the tactical arrangements of "Professor" Wenger. This was how their head coach arranged it before the game, and they also defended in the first half, with a very good effect.

After talking about the defense, Wenger talked about the offense again and looked at Walcott and said, "Theo, you took the field to replace Jack in the second half. He consumed a lot of energy in the first half. Remember, your task after you came on is to organize the team's offense and maintain the connection with Chamack. And... Gervinho, you can invest a little more in the second half to the offense, but don't forget to help us defend on the right."

"clear!"

In today's game, in order to limit Leeds United's offensive offense, Arsenal's offensive formation also made some sacrifices. Walcott was replaced by the Ivorian Ivorian Gervinho, who had a stronger defensive ability. Now he can only replace Willshere on the left in the second half.

After everything was arranged, Wenger gave the players a rest for a while, and the second half of the game was about to begin.

After the game entered the second half, Leeds United's offense had lost Bentley on the right, and the quality of the offense had dropped a lot, while Snold Grass was still a little rougher. In addition, the "little tiger" Walcott, who had just appeared, was very fierce. When organizing the team's offense, he relied more on breakthroughs to create gaps. Leeds United's right was about to collapse.

Although Leeds United's offense on the left side had three players, Zach Thompson, Jonny Hausen and Ben Parker, they had to face a defense line composed of almost all the strength. Arsenal had already analyzed the "Youth Guards"'s offense thoroughly. After using some highly targeted means, Leeds United's offense could not be hit at all.

Originally, the right-side defense tended to collapse, and the left-side attack could not be played. Leeds United's goal was disturbed by Arsenal, and Simon Grayson had to make Zach Thompson more inclined to defend on the right. However, this made Leeds United's offense even more weak and the situation became even more unfavorable. The "Beast" Tevez ran to the left to help. The tacit understanding between him and Jonny Hausen and Ben Parker was not good enough.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the game was always in a stalemate. Arsenal's offensive strength became much stronger. However, after Zach Thompson helped defend, the defensive ability of the "Young Guards" was greatly enhanced. We must always be wary of the "Gunners" who counterattacked by their opponents. It is very difficult to score again to lock the victory of the game.

When the game was seventy minutes old, Simon Grayson finally played his last two cards. He replaced Ody with Whitehead, let him play the midfielder, freed Zach Thompson to help the team attack, and also replaced Améobi with Bechio. The threat of the "Black Big Man" in counterattack was relatively limited, and the two Argentines, Bechio and Tevez, could also find a common rhythm.

Seeing the opponent taking action, the "professor" also understood the opponent's intentions. This is to fight to the death!

So Wenger replaced the Ivorian Gervinho with Brazilian central defender Dede to strengthen his team's defense. On the offense, he simply left Walcott and Chamak to wait for opportunities. Leeds United's last attempt was still very threatening in the eyes of the "Professor". With his understanding of Zach Thompson, of course he would not be unaware that "Sak" will become very terrible after being completely liberated. After combining strong running ability and super long-range shooting scoring ability, this young midfielder can become a moving cannon, and the threat he brings to his opponent will also increase exponentially.

But... that also has weaknesses!

Arsenal has been interested in Zach Thompson for more than a day or two. "Professor" Wenger can be said to have a good understanding of Zach Thompson. Naturally, he knows that Zach Thompson also needs his teammates to create opportunities for him when shooting from a long time, otherwise how can he shoot from a long time if he has no time?

Arsenal has been prepared for this, and Dede's appearance is to defend Zach Thompson's response!

After Zach Thompson was completely liberated, he also devoted all his energy to the offense, but he found that there was always a figure shaking in front of him, Arsenal's No. 4 Brazilian central defender Dede.

Because Leeds United doesn't have many opportunities to create when facing Arsenal, which is fully defending, Dede's close defense against Zach Thompson made Leeds United's last two equalization opportunities empty.

At 81 minutes of the game, Zach Thompson scored the ball in front of Arsenal's left-footed goal, and two muffled "bang" and "bang" sounds were heard. Dede, who was leaping out of the slant, blocked Zach Thompson's long-range shot with his back.

At 91 minutes, Zach Thompson shot a long shot from about 40 meters away from the goal in the middle. As a result, the ball was slightly off the goal under Dede's interference. Through the video replay, the "Gunners" were surprised to find that the nail on Dede's sole of the shoe touched the ball slightly, otherwise the ball would be... hard to say!

"Defend! Defend! Retreat them all!"

Wenger was already shouting on the sidelines with an anxious look on his face. "Shaq" has excellent physical fitness. The average distance of each game can reach 12.6 kilometers, and the game has exceeded 14 kilometers. This means that the more the game is approaching and the more others can't run, the more threatening it is.

Under Wenger's roar, the "Gunners" who fought at home were all withdrawn from defense, and gave up their dignity in front of many fans of the Emirates Stadium. When they were leading with one goal and the game was about to end, they could only grit their teeth and persist in defending.

"Bei————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Referee Anthony Taylor finally blew the whistle to the end of the game after 5 minutes of injury time...

Arsenal players squatted down one after another and began to pant. Some even lay on the lawn without moving. Only their rapid chests told others that he was still alive.

When the Leeds United players left the court safely, the commentator shouted excitedly: "Congratulations to Arsenal, we won a difficult game, after this game we will start to lead the standings! But... I have to say, Leeds United's Shaq is really outstanding. Looking at his technical statistics, this guy actually ran 14.2 kilometers on the court! God! This is such a physically abnormal guy! In addition to his strong running ability, Shaq has 65 passes.

, of which 49 were successful, and the pass success rate was lower than 75%, but his main task in this game should be defense. He had 11 successful steals, 12 headers, 4 interceptions and 1 block, and 4 shots! Alas, facing this excellent data list, I really don’t know what to say, we should really buy this all-round midfielder at all costs! I believe that if we can have Shaq, we will have the strength to win the league championship or even the Champions League trophy!”

The commentator is obviously already playing the role of a Zach Thompson fan, but the fans of the "Gunners" at the Emirates Stadium did not feel disgusted. They had officially launched an offensive against "Shake" this summer. Although they were unable to buy this outstanding young genius in the end, there is no need to worry. Will they transfer in winter soon? Even if this year is not good, will there be next summer? Since their team has taken a fancy to this genius kid, there is always hope!
Chapter completed!
