Chapter 704 Detective Sherlock

Saturday night, this has always been the prime time of the Premier League. It is not only for live broadcasters, but also for fans who come to the stadium, because they don’t need to worry about missing the train for the evening shift, nor are they afraid that drinking and hangover will affect their work the next day after the next day.

Therefore, although the Premier League schedule is randomly arranged, I have still put some effort into the arrangement and setting of the game time, especially in recent years, as the overseas market occupies a greater and greater share in Premier League live broadcasts, the overseas market and online live broadcast audience will be appropriately considered when scheduled.

But no matter what, Saturday night is a veritable prime time. Therefore, almost every round of Saturday night games is an important highlight, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is carefully selected.

The highlight of the 26th round of the Premier League is undoubtedly the North London Derby, and Tottenham Hotspur challenged Arsenal away.

After causing 0 away games last season, Tottenham Hotspur once again returned to the Emirates Stadium, facing Arsenal, whose points are now nearly 20 points and it is impossible for them to threaten their status. Bai Baihe still seems ambitious.

In Ye Qiu's words, they have a psychological advantage in this stadium.

This is a focus game that has attracted much attention. Arsenal has plummeted this season and was eliminated in the League Cup. In 2019, both the Europa League and the FA Cup have been eliminated one after another. Now Arsenal only has one league left, but Wenger's team has also lost its competitiveness in the league, which makes Arsenal fans very dissatisfied, and even shouts of asking Wenger to be dismissed, which shows the disappointment of Gunners fans.

On the contrary, Tottenham Hotspur's performance has been rising steadily. Although they were tied by Napoli in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, they played with a full substitute in the FA Cup weekend, but they defeated the Championship team Brighton away. Tottenham Hotspur's young rookie performed very well.

As one goes up and down, the North London derby that followed has attracted much attention, especially for Gunners fans, it is a battle to prove themselves.

Wenger also had high hopes for this game before the game, calling on players to show their determination and belief to win, and to defeat their opponents in this game, and to relieve the shame of last season. This is not only for the team, for the fans, but also for the players themselves. The shame of zero must be washed away.

But Ye Qiu repeatedly emphasized that this is just a very ordinary game. In his words, Arsenal is no longer a competitor to Tottenham Hotspur’s championship. It is just a very ordinary league, just like playing other teams. It is obviously to relieve the pressure on the players.

But Ye Qiu said it simply, others don't think so. From the time of the game being scheduled on Saturday night, we can see the importance of the FA, Premier League and live broadcasters Sky TV and PP.

Die Greg Raistrade has been famous for over a year, but if he has a choice, he doesn't want to be famous because it puts him under great pressure.

Last season's North London derby, in late November, Tottenham Hotspur slaughtered Arsenal away from home. After the game, tens of thousands of Gunners fans surrounded the entire Emirates Stadium, which almost turned into a big riot. In order to deal with this mutation, even Greater London Police Chief Paul Tiffenson personally went out.

Even afterwards, the incident alarmed the London City Council and the British government, who both put pressure on the police station to avoid the same thing happening again. London Mayor Boris Johnson even called Lestrade himself and told the unlucky Chief Holloway Police, "Please stop irritating my fragile heart."

That night, Restrade nervously shouted at his subordinates and was photographed by a bastard. He was taken by a bastard and sent it to the Internet. As a result, he quickly became the target of netizens' ridicule and sarcasm, becoming a live-action version of Du Fu. What's even more unlucky is that everyone also found that he was exactly the same name as the detective in [Sheng Detective Sherlock].

Therefore, in the past year, Restrade has become the most famous person in the London police circle and has also become the target of joking, sarcasm and sarcasm by countless netizens on the Internet. Even when the London riots occurred in 1011, many thugs even looked for photos of Restrade to vent.

The unlucky Restrade was shot while lying down

Although it has been a while since the London riots that occurred in 11th, things have been calmed down, and the whole thing has nothing to do with football, all walks of life have attached great importance to this North London derby this season.

Now, the owner of Scotland Yard is no longer Paul Tiffanson, who stepped down due to a wiretap scandal, but the newly appointed Hogan O'Ho seems to be more decisive. You know, he went south from Liverpool, the mortal rival of London football, so he knows more about the potential crisis of this derby battle than anyone else, and has called Lestrade himself before.

Therefore, in this game, Restrade dispatched all the police forces of the entire Holloway Police Station, and borrowed nearly a thousand policemen from the surrounding areas, as well as fifteen horses, thirty police dogs and more than 500 community volunteer security personnel.

Although he had such a large number of people, Restrade was still worried. He personally supervised the Emirates Stadium and sat on the two cannons symbolizing the arsenal next to the gate of the Emirates Stadium. He was moving his legs as he stood tired, but he was complaining in his heart, why are there still so many people coming to watch football games on site these days? What a ghost

You should know that the information is so developed now that you can watch fifty Premier League games by ordering Sky TV’s package, each of which will add seven pounds to each highlight. If not, you can buy a Zeus, the TV set-top box launched by Yezi Technology. They now also provide live broadcasts of football games, which are cheaper than Sky TV, and have more services and content.

Restrade really doesn't understand why he has to watch the football on the spot?

Just as he was wondering, he heard a thunderous cheer from the stadium. Although he was standing outside the stadium, the feeling was as if a big explosion suddenly occurred in the stadium, which scared him to stand up from Arsenal's artillery, "What's going on? What happened?"

Soon a policeman came over and was obviously communicating with his colleagues in the stadium with a walkie-talkie. "Director, Arsenal scored a goal." He seemed to be an Arsenal fan, laughed, "He led in just four minutes."

After hearing this, Restrade breathed a sigh of relief, "Damn it, just score the goal, shouting so loudly?" He looked at his subordinates again, "You, don't worry about listening to the radio commentary, pay more attention."

"I understand" the policeman nodded and left.

Restrade let out a heavy breath and felt a lot of relaxation. Last season, you lost 0 and all the people were in chaos. Now you are leading the way. If you win, it is impossible for you to go to the Emirates Stadium to protest, right?

When he stood up, Restrade couldn't sit down.

Although he was in the position of the police chief, Restrade did not like football. Even though he liked football very much back then, he is now afraid that the opposition brought by football will even evolve into confrontation. But he has to admit that football does play a very important role in England's economy.

Perhaps because of the relaxation, Restrade looked up and saw that the surrounding area of ​​the stadium was full of very traditional English-style shops. Some of them operated bar businesses, some operated retail, or other things needed by fans. After all, the things inside the Emirates Stadium are often sold more expensive than outside, and many fans chose to bring their own.

This brings opportunities for survival to the surrounding shops

So in recent times, Tottenham and Northumberland County in North London have been discussing one thing in a heated manner, that is, after Tottenham Hotspur went south to Stratford Stadium in the city center, how can the area of ​​Haeger Road in the core of Tottenham continue to maintain its current development trend?

Although the White Hart Lane Stadium will be returned to the London Olympic Organizing Committee and transformed into a track and field stadium, everyone knows that the contribution this stadium can make to the entire area is completely incomparable to the original White Hart Lane Stadium. At least they cannot provide the prosperity and stimulation of economic consumption brought by the current two games a week.

Therefore, it was revealed that Northumberland County is negotiating with the London Municipal Government and the Olympic Organizing Committee to see if it is considered to rent the stadium to Tottenham Hotspur’s youth team in the future. As the home court of the youth team, especially the team that Hl9 participated in the European Youth Champions League, the attendance rate of this team is also quite good.

However, there are many problems. For example, Tottenham Hotspur is unwilling to bear the high rental costs because they think that the maintenance of the stadium alone is already a considerable expense, and now their stadium in Theoborde is fully available, so there is no need for the White Hart Lane Stadium.

No one knows how things will develop next, but one thing that is certain is that a stadium has indeed played a key role in the economic development of a region. Even now, the entire London has focused on planning around the Stratford Stadium, which shows how deep the impact of football is.

"If Arsenal can get Tottenham tonight, that's not bad, at least it's worry-free," Restrade said with a smile at the small shop with lights in the distance.

The game time passed by minute by minute, without a moment of stopping. Lestrade never heard the explosion-like cheers outside the court, but there were some exclamations coming from time to time, almost every minute, which showed that the game was going very fiercely.

This is a showdown between two teams that are known as the most gorgeous Premier League style. It should be a wonderful offensive battle, Restrade thinks.

The waiting time is undoubtedly very difficult. Not only Restrade, but also all the police and Mounted Police outside who were facing a great enemy. They were nervous and eager to wait for the end of the game. For them, time passed so slowly.

But the bursts of screams coming from the stadium were believed to be felt that time passed quickly.

"It's so cowardly. I'm keeping the door for you outside, but you're enjoying it inside. It's best not to make trouble after the game, otherwise..."

I believe there are many policemen who have the same ideas as Restrade, but they just haven't said it.

More than half an hour after Arsenal scored the goal, a long burst of screams came from the stadium again, even with screams mixed in, and then curses came from the exclamation.

The same sound came from a small English shop not far away, and there was even a sound of beer bottles falling to the ground. You could vaguely hear shouts such as [damn Tottenham Hotspur] and [Alves who killed thousands of swords].

The policeman who was talking with the intercom just now kicked the tire of the police car with force, and kept scolding him, "Damn it, this situation needs to be said, it must be Tottenham Hotspur's goal."

But it is obvious that before the group of people had finished venting, a scream broke out in the stadium again. In less than two minutes, Tottenham Hotspur scored again. Who scored the goal this time?

The sound from the stadium was heard, and I could vaguely guess it was Messi. This small player helped Tottenham to reverse Arsenal. The current score is that the home team Arsenal is behind.

Restrade was also angry outside the court, so he turned around and shouted at his subordinates, "It's time to rest in the middle, everyone should be careful." As he shouted, the police began to cheer up.

At this moment, Restrade's cell phone rang, and when he took it out, he saw that it was the owner of Scotland Yard.

"Hello, Director, I'm Restrade." He quickly answered the phone. It was obvious that he heard the sound from the phone, which seemed a bit like the sound in the stadium, but it was a little slower, and he also heard Andy Grey's iconic loud voice calling Messi and Messi. That smelly old man was just afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

"Greg, there is an immediate break. Notify everyone, be careful. Also, Tottenham Hotspur is leading now, and it is likely that Tottenham Hotspur will win, so you must pay close attention to the movements in the surrounding areas and expand the alert range. Don't let things happen again last season, do you understand?"

"I understand, Director" Restrade agreed loudly.

After hanging up the phone, Lestrad wondered, was the trusted owner of Scotland Yard not a Liverpool or Everton fan, but a Tottenham Hotspur fans? Listening to the voice, he is now watching the live broadcast of the game between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.

Maybe you would say, can't he be an Arsenal fan?

This is because I don’t understand the football. If it were an Arsenal fan, I would definitely be cursing now. How could I be so rational and calm?

When Lestrade thought about this, he felt like he was a bit like a detective Sherlock. He smiled and felt that he had found the new police chief's hobby, so he picked up the walkie-talkie and notified every team present.

When Restrade issued orders, requiring every team, every intersection and every street to be careful, Wenger also asked his players to be careful in the locker room, and Tottenham Hotspur is using their best way to attack Arsenal's defense.

After the opening, they allowed Arsenal to attack, just to wait until Arsenal's physical fitness has been consumed to a certain extent and their running ability has declined before they counterattacked. So in the three minutes near the end of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur scored two goals in a row and completed the reversal.

"The first fifteen minutes of the second half are very critical. Believe me, we still have a chance after these fifteen minutes." Wenger is very familiar with Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur, and he is very familiar with him. He believes that his judgment will not be wrong.

But the problem is, he knows how to play and what to do, but can his players do it?

The answer is, no

After the start of the second half, Tottenham Hotspur did launch waves of attacks against Arsenal's defense as Wenger expected. The defense line composed of Gibbs, Coschelney, Vermalen and Sarnia, plus the midfielder Alexander Song and Arteta, such a midfielder, still failed to suppress Tottenham Hotspur's attack.

In the 48th minute, Pirlo assisted Neymar to score a goal, in the 51st minute, Alves assisted Ramse to score a goal, in the 65th minute, Messi assisted Ribery to score a goal, Tottenham Hotspur turned the score into I in half the second half, which was a very painful blow to Arsenal.

As Ye Qiu said before the game, the morale of their players in the past few seasons has been worn out to be very fragile. Facing Tottenham Hotspur, especially the double-kill last season, and the terrible 0 game, has made their psychological quality when facing Tottenham Hotspur, almost gone.

Why has Arsenal not won the championship in the previous few seasons, but everyone still said that they are giants. But this season, more and more fans and experts feel that Arsenal is difficult to talk about giants?

The reason is very simple. They lack the foundation of the wealthy team and also lose the confidence of the wealthy team.

This confidence is very, very difficult to build, but it is also very, very difficult to collapse, and both take time.

Wenger spent several years building Arsenal's confidence since taking over Arsenal. This situation reached its peak in the unbeaten season, but followed closely behind, selling people for many years, the team's performance was sluggish, and habitual collapse in the second half. If it was only one or two seasons, the players would not be affected. After all, every team has a trough, but the problem is that you are like this every year, then there is a problem.

I believe that all Arsenal players will be worried and doubt who will be sold this season? Will we collapse in February again?

You should know that Arsenal's seller is different from Tottenham's seller. There is almost no competition within the former, and the difference between the main and substitute lineups is huge, so their seller is fatal. However, Tottenham's internal competition is very fierce. Ye Qiu uses this internal competition to stimulate players' progress and self-discipline, so no matter who sells, he can find a replacement.

In the past few years, everyone has been convinced of Ye Qiu and will not doubt his decision. This confidence has been accumulated by the time he took over the team in UU in 2018.
