Chapter 501

For many years, whenever they arrive at the North London Derby, Tottenham Hotspur fans always stimulate Arsenal with the sour remarks because they have the best stars, the best stadiums, the best training grounds, and the same time because they are still striving for the league championship.

But since Ye Qiu came to the team, the situation has quietly reversed in the past two seasons.

Interestingly, these two seasons were the two seasons with the lowest financial situation in Arsenal. The team almost held a transfer strategy of only going out but not entering, making Arsenal always abandoned by the leading troops early every season.

It's like this season, they've fallen to fifth place in the league early, and this also takes into account a habit of Arsenal over the past many years, that is, their record before the winter break is usually much more ideal than after the winter break.

So in the past, Arsenal's performance before the winter break was either far ahead or stayed in the forefront, but now it is down to fifth, which is definitely a report card that makes all Arsenal fans panic.

Looking at Arsenal's current lineup, it can almost be described as a terrible sight.

After sending away stars such as Henry, Vieira, Gilberto, Silva, and Heleb, Arsenal's current lineup is either a veteran or a young player, with almost no core level.

Just like the starting lineup in this game, goalkeeper Amunya, defense lines Krish, Galas, Sylvester and Sarnia, midfielders are Nasri, DeNilson, Arteta and Walcott, and the forwards are Adebayo and Bentner. Apart from Adebayo, there are almost no popular stars.

Galas and Sylvester are both famous Premier League players, but unfortunately, they are both in their twilight years of their careers.

On the contrary, Tottenham Hotspur looks strong.

The goalkeeper is the Czech goalkeeper, Peter Cech, known as the Premier League No. 1, with Aveloa, Kompany, Thiago Silva and Alves on the back line, while David Silva, Yaya Toure and Fabregas are still a combination of Fabregas, and Gareth Bale, Van Persie and Messi on the front court.

Ribery has returned and started participating in the team's joint training, but Ye Qiu has not arranged for him to be on the roster yet. Otherwise, Tottenham Hotspur's lineup will be even more star-studded.

Long before this game started, almost all professionals were not optimistic about Arsenal. In addition to Tottenham's strength advantage, another very important reason is that Arsenal's current situation is not ideal.

It has become a consensus that the team's midfielder lacks a midfielder like Flamini. Recently, Wenger trusts young players such as DeNilson and Diaby. Alexander's Song does not have the ability to play as the main player for the time being, but no matter who it is, it is obviously impossible to fill the gap in Flamini.

The midfield imbalance is exposed, and the defense line problem is exposed, especially left-back Krish, who has almost become the object of dissatisfaction among many players of the team, because he always becomes the target of the opponent's focus on attack in this position.

In fact, Arsenal had indeed thought about introducing Yaya Toure, especially before Tottenham Hotspur's first game in the Champions League, when Wenger wanted to win the Ivorians for about 10 to 15 million, but the offer was directly rejected by Ye Qiu.

Arsenal's pursuit After Ye Qiu and Yaya Toure challenged Marseille away, the news broke that Ye Qiu was threatening to sell Yaya Toure, and it was once again hot. Arsenal also secretly promoted the fire, hoping to get the Ivorians at a more affordable price.

But Ye Qiu once again refused to let Yaya Toure go, and the players themselves did not consider transferring. Therefore, in this rumor, Arsenal had almost no gains, especially when Yaya Toure has been increasingly stable in recent times, everyone knows that the possibility of Tottenham Hotspur letting go is slim.

This is why Wenger said before that if the price is 15 million euros, he would consider introducing it, but this is obviously impossible. He also gave up on the idea of ​​getting Yaya's Toure and turned to seek other players.

However, the dissatisfaction in Arsenal has reached a critical point. Many players in the team, including Adebayo and captain Galas, are obviously dissatisfied with Arsenal's lack of ambition. Adebayo even bombarded the team after the team drew with Sunderland away in the seventh round, believing that this is definitely not a team that can win the championship.

This bombardment incident caused a lot of media hype at the time, but later it gradually subsided with Arsenal's two consecutive victories. But everyone knew that the interior of Arsenal's locker room was no longer a solid piece.

In terms of time, Tottenham Hotspur is currently invincible. Although Arsenal won two consecutive games, the game process was very difficult; in terms of location, Arsenal did have all the advantages of location, but when the timing and people are at an absolute disadvantage, relying solely on location can we really turn the situation around?

It is obvious that no one has hope. Even before the game, even England's very famous tactical columnist Jonathan Wilson analyzed in his column that Tottenham Hotspur had to seize two points to play against Arsenal, and the gunners had almost no ability to resist, which was the front of the penalty area.

The reason is very simple. Arteta is good at organizing and passing balls. Denilson has made a lot of contributions in offense, but he is not a material for dirty work. Judging from the current situation of Alexander Song Zhao, he does not have the ability to play the main force for the time being, and his skills are also a problem, a bit rough and a bit slow to turn around.

To use Jonathan Wilson's statement, Tottenham Hotspur doesn't need to consider anything else. They directly pressed up at the beginning, beat Arsenal up and hit Arsenal directly, and made a fuss around the front of the penalty area.

Just imagine, Ye Qiu didn’t know what Jonathan Wilson knew?

As soon as the game began, Tottenham Hotspur launched a rush attack. In terms of offense, this Arsenal team can't catch up with Tottenham Hotspur, so Tottenham's attack quickly suppressed Arsenal.

In the thirteenth minute of the game, Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yaya Toure passed the ball, and Gareth Bale suddenly made a strong shot more than 30 meters away from the goal. This unstoppable volley directly knocked on Amunia's goal. The Spanish goalkeeper's position was too forward, and Arsenal's midfield was also a bit arrogant.

In fact, with the foot strength of professional players and the ever-improving ball speed, the effective shooting distance has been expanded to the 30-meter area, or even 30-meter away. As long as the goalkeeper is not in good position, there are countless players who can shoot long shots from 30-meters away, not to mention explosive players like Gareth's Bale and Cristiano's Ronaldo.

This wonderful world wave completely shattered the fantasy of 60,000 Arsenal fans in the stands. It used bloody goals to tell and remind Arsenal fans that, at least in Tottenham's eyes, Arsenal is no longer cared about by them at present, because Tottenham's goal is the Premier League champion and the Champions League, not the first four league games.

If it were just this goal, no one might notice the problem, but soon, in the 27th minute, Fabregas passed the ball to the right, Messi dribbled the ball from the right and cut in horizontally, and on the right side of the arc top of the penalty area, he shot a arc ball and slapped straight into the upper left corner of the goal, 2:0! It was the penalty area and the midfielder position again!

All Arsenal players are aware of the problem. They all know that they can't continue to play like this, otherwise they will suffer a big loss, especially in recent times, Tottenham Hotspur, which has such a hard head, if they continue like this, they may become the second Bayern Munich team.

Wenger made an adjustment immediately, but still couldn't turn the situation around. In the 43rd minute of the first half, Gareth Bale wanted to force the breakthrough of Sania but failed and passed it back to David Silva. Espanyol drifted past Arteta to defend him and passed it straight to the penalty area. Van Persie easily received the ball and pushed the ball and shot, 3:0

There is almost no trick, no pity, no sympathy, and only goals one after another, making all gunner fans realize that they are so far away from the top Premier League teams.

Wenger made adjustments in the second half, replacing Bentner with Alexander Song to strengthen the midfield defense, especially the midfielder position, but Tottenham Hotspur's offensive still remained unabated.

In the 69th minute, Krish made a clearance mistake and actually passed the ball directly to Messi's feet. The Argentine dribbled the ball into the penalty area without any hesitation, dribbled past Amunia and pushed the ball to score, 4:0

In the 79th minute, Yaya Toure suddenly inserted a long shot, the ball hit the crossbar, bounced back to the penalty area, Van Persie headed the ball, Messi shot skillfully in front of the goal, broke through Arsenal's goal again, and scored a hat trick, 5:0

Continuous scoring, continuous goals, especially Messi's hat-trick, made all the gunner fans stunned, and made more than 2,000 Tottenham fans the absolute protagonists in the stands

Messi, who had a hat-trick, rushed out of the stadium excitedly and rushed to the stands where Tottenham Hotspur fans were. Tottenham Hotspur players rushed up along the way and hugged Messi to celebrate. Everyone was satisfied, excited and excited that the team could massacre Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.

Although in the last moment of the game, Arsenal, with Arteta's pass, Adebayo broke through Cech's goal and scored a goal to regain his face, it was ultimately unable to stop Tottenham Hotspur from winning a big victory at the Emirates Stadium.

5:11 This score almost made all the gunfighters present angry and dissatisfied. Many fans even booed at the home team players. They felt that it was definitely a humiliation to play such a score at the Emirates Stadium.

The fans were overwhelmed with protests and boos, while Tottenham Hotspur players and fans left the Emirates Stadium with satisfactory results. There were countless Tottenham Hotspur fans heading south from the Tottenham District in the north and came to the Emirates Stadium to welcome the team back in triumphantly, which aroused extreme dissatisfaction among Arsenal fans.

Outside the Emirates Stadium, fans of both sides even had a conflict. Fortunately, the police were prepared and quickly separated the fans of both sides, but two fans were still injured in the conflict.

After the game, Wenger said at a press conference that this was a disaster, a disaster for everyone in Arsenal.

But Ye Qiu said that he had a premonition of the victory of this game. He firmly believed before the game that the team would definitely win at the Emirates Stadium, but he also felt that such a big victory was indeed a bit unexpected.

However, Tottenham Hotspur's big victory failed to change the current ranking of the Premier League standings. Liverpool also defeated Portsmouth 1-0 in this round and continued to lead the Premier League standings. Tottenham Hotspur ranked second because of one round less.

But being able to defeat his arch-rival 5:1, Tottenham Hotspur's crazy goal momentum in recent times has surprised everyone, especially in a 4:0 victory over Bayern Munich and 5:1 victory over Arsenal. The opponents are not bad. Tottenham Hotspur's crazy attack has made all fans feel that this team still has great potential this season.

It seems that it is not just fans who think Tottenham has great potential, but even the selection of major European football awards in the annual European Golden Boy Awards in the Italian Turin Sports Daily, Tottenham became the big winner.

This is a selection that began in 2003. Players elected to the European Golden Boy Award include Van der Fate, Rooney, Ribery, Messi, Fabregas and Aguero. This year's Golden Boy Award has once again attracted attention.

With the largest number of players in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur team contributed four players including Ramsey, Gareth's Bale, Marcelo, Andy's Carroll, and Arsenal had three players including Walcott, Bentner and Bella, plus young players from Premier League teams such as Manchester United and Chelsea, making the total number of players in the Premier League reach 11.

Among all the candidates, Tottenham Hotspurs replaced Ribery as the main player this season, Gareth Bale, even surpassed AC Milan's Pato and Inter Milan's Balotelli, and Ajax winger Di Maria, who helped Argentina win the Olympic championship.

Especially with Tottenham Hotspur's outstanding performance in recent times, Gareth's Bale has kept scoring goals and his performance is quite high. Although many professionals still think that his style of play is too tough, lacks change, and pursues strength and explosiveness too much, he is still quite young and has great potential.

Ramsey is called the New Fabregas. The Welshman has delicate skills and good passing and organizational skills. The reason why he and Andy Carroll were shortlisted is because they performed very well in the Cup, especially Andy Carroll. The outside world has begun to put pressure on Ye Qiu when the England center played as the main player.

In the eyes of many media and English fans, the combination of Andy Carroll and Rooney will be the hope of England's forward line in the next ten years, and Andy Carroll's performance in the Cup is also amazing, especially when he scored twice when playing Newcastle, but he can only serve as a substitute in the league, so his performance is relatively average.

Marcelo played as a left-back. After Ajax's craftsmanship, he adapted to the technical and tactical style of European football. In addition, after coming to Tottenham Hotspur, he was always positioned as the left-back position and made great progress. He integrated into Tottenham Hotspur's tactical system. After leaving Vargas this season, he competed with Aveloa for the position of the main left-back position and performed well.

In addition to the European Golden Boy Award, French Football has also announced a list of candidates for the 30-person European Golden Ball. Tottenham Hotspur was the last Champions League champion, especially after creating the unprecedented Luzhniki Miracle, many players of the team were shortlisted for this list.

Among them, Ribery, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Messi are the most promising players in the club to win this award. Ribery had not been injured in the Champions League final and missed most of the games in the second half of the year, he should have deserved it, but the Frenchman who has not returned to the field yet will probably find it difficult to win this award.

Cristiano Ronaldo's performance last season was indeed very eye-catching. He deducted some points in the final, but he also scored goals. However, his performance in the second half of the year was much worse than in the first half of the year. On the contrary, Tottenham's Messi, after Ribery was absent in the second half of the year, he filled the gap left by Ribery well and supported the banner of Tottenham's offensive football.

Kaka's performance in the past year is indeed unable to compete with these three players, nor has he achieved outstanding results, but he was the winner of the last European Golden Globe Awards, so many people believe that Kaka should be one of the popular candidates.

There are several other popular candidates from Spain, Xavi and Casillas, the two biggest contributors who helped Spain win the European Cup this summer, are seen as the most likely candidates to be upset, especially Casillas, who is the captain of Spain. Many people think that he has the opportunity to win the award like Cannavaro as the captain of the championship team.

The announcement date for the European Golden Ball Awards has not yet arrived, but French Football Magazine has begun to promote and promote it, and the shortlist of World Football Masters has been announced, which is basically the same as the list of candidates announced by French Football Magazine.

Tottenham Hotspur has played offensive football in the past two years, attracting the attention of countless fans. In addition, the club focuses on promotion and publicity, and the media has also paid a lot of attention. These have laid a solid foundation for players to be shortlisted for this list. Tottenham Hotspur fans are also full of expectations and excitement for the club to cultivate the first world footballer or European footballer in history.

It is in this expectation and excitement that Tottenham Hotspur welcomed the league leader, Liverpool
