Chapter 43 There will be that day!

After the score on the court became 1:3, the atmosphere at Emirates Stadium began to become anxious, and the "Gunners" themselves also began to become anxious.

Van Persie, Wilsher, Walcott, Diaby, Rosici, Fripon, Gibbs, Squillach, Vermullen and other stars all looked gloomy. They never dreamed that they would play like this at home against an English Champions League team. This was simply a shame!

This is shame!

"Professor" Wenger looked extremely serious off the court, and looked at his disciples on the court with sharp eyes, but he was constantly thinking about whether his team still had a chance in this game.

Arsenal's strength is indeed much better than Leeds United. After all, the foundation of the two teams is there, but the game has become like this. The main reason is that Arsenal, the quasi-giant team, is not worthy of attention at all. At present, it can only be regarded as the "Youth Guards" of the **Silk team. Especially after Walcott scored a goal at the beginning of the game, this mentality of underestimating the enemy emerged uncontrollably.

Moreover, the most important thing is that "Professor" Wenger himself does not look down on Leeds United as an opponent. Arsenal has always used giant teams like Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool as their opponents. How can Leeds United, which comes from low-level leagues, behold?

In the preparations before the game, Wenger only had a rough understanding of the opponent and knew that Simon Grayson developed a "back midfielder front" tactic and showed a situation of crushing all opponents in the English Champions League. However, Wenger easily came up with a way to crack it. Arsenal players have strong technical strength enough that they can easily avoid Wang Tiezhu's pressing when they go from defense to offense, and this so-called "back midfielder front" tactic was broken.

However, Wenger never thought about how to play this game when his team fell behind and when the opponent took the lead again!

Leeds United are not Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and the like. When facing Arsenal's bombardment, they can completely shamelessly set up an iron barrel formation on the court. They really have no burden on their psychology, just like now!

In the 61st minute, Wilsher received a small cross from Walcott and topped the ball towards Leeds United's right goal. Goalkeeper Ronegan had previously run to block Walcott's shot from the angle, and there was no way to save it at this time.

But Leeds United's goal was indeed crowded, and even Ben Parker, the left-back, had already reached the post and defended the ball. Seeing the ball flying over, he rushed up and pushed the ball into the air with his head... a corner kick.

In the 65th minute, Willsheer broke through on the left and was directly tackled by Conori. Leeds United right-back exchanged a yellow card for Willsheer's departure. Amid the harsh booing of the fans at the Emirates Stadium, Conori faced all this with his head held high, as if he was a hero who won the victory and triumphant victory.

Seeing this scene, "Professor" Wenger felt a sense of powerlessness. This game was really completely out of his control. An unequal game turned into an Arsenal nightmare for various reasons. He had a profound interpretation of the expression on Conorri's face, which was a determination to stay together to the end!

Facing Leeds United, which is defending like this, even Arsenal has no good idea. It is like when the current world overlord Spain faces the Italian team, an Italian team that has unified its tactical ideas. Even if they are just constantly defending, they can still cause huge trouble for the Spanish team.

After replacing Willsheer with Luke Freeman, Wenger played cards again and replaced Fripon, who was not capable of offense with Carl Jenkinson, and replaced Rosici with young player Alban Buniaku.

After playing all three cards, the Gunners' offense became more dynamic, and they had a significant longer time to control the ball and had more threatening attacks. However, they never found any opportunity when facing Leeds United's iron barrel formation. Wang Tiezhu, Jonny Hausen and Whitehead had all retreated to the team's penalty area line to defend. Bechio and Snoldgras also retreated from the two wings to become a full-back. In addition to an Ameobi who was also at the forefront to protect the ball while waiting for counterattack, Leeds United's large penalty area gathered as many as ten players inside and outside the penalty area, and a completely "iron barrel formation" was placed in front of Arsenal.

Leeds United's strict defense reached its peak in the 72 minutes of the game. Simon Grayson replaced Snodgrass with central defender Darren Ody, Conorri returned to the full-back position, and captain Jonny Hausen was arranged to replace the left back position, and Bechio's position was adjusted behind Ameobi.

After Simon Grayson's adjustment, Leeds United's defensive ability has risen to the next level. Even with the powerful attack power of the "Gunners", they can't find a way to crack their opponent's defense.

As the game time passed, the 1:3 score played a bigger and bigger role, and Arsenal players on the court became more and more anxious. This mentality even began to affect their passing success rate. Even if the ball was passed more than five times, it would be snatched by Leeds United.

Arsenal's offensive quality has declined very well, but Leeds United's counterattack was very sharp. In the 81st minute, Améo protected the ball and sent a straight pass to Beccio. The Argentine striker directly formed a single shot. If it weren't for the end of the final Vermalen directly knocking down the Argentine at the top of the arc with a red card, the score on the field might have been rewritten. If it were the three-ball difference, the game would have been recorded in the history of the "Gullers", of course, as a "shame".

"Beep————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Three long whistles sounded, and referee Howard Webber ended the game two minutes after stoppage time...

In the quiet Emirates Stadium, the fans of the "Gunners" were watching the field with tears in their eyes. This season... Arsenal was empty again!

In recent years, Arsenal's strength has been declining. Although the "Professor" Wenger's ability to train young players is indeed amazing, and he has trained one star after another, in the end all of these players abandoned Arsenal. This team... has no heart to win the championship!

Now, has the "gunmen" fallen to the point where they can bully the "Young Guards"?

Arsenal fans are wondering when their team will be truly strong. Although their strength is not weak now, they are getting further and further away from their competitors...

"Hahaha, Shaq, we won! We won!"

Jonny Hausen jumped on Wang Tiezhu's back and strangled the strong guy with his arms. He was really excited. Being able to lead Leeds United to defeat an opponent like Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium as the captain, it was like a dream.

Wang Tiezhu nodded with a smile and hugged his good comrades and a good partner. He is not a complete Leeds, nor even an Englishman, but this feeling of winning a strong opponent through hard fighting... It's really good!

Every player of Leeds United hugged each other with a smile on his face, celebrating this hard-won victory. While Wang Tiezhu was hugging his teammates, he suddenly patted his shoulder with one hand behind him.

"Hey, Shaq!"

kindness!?

Wang Tiezhu turned his head and saw Van Persie with a smile on his face. The Dutch star didn't seem to be affected by this defeat at all. He could still laugh at this time!?

"Hi!"

Van Persie pulled the jersey down from her body and said, "Shake, I said, we will exchange jerseys after the game!"

Van Persie grabbed the jersey in her hand and handed it to Wang Tiezhu with a serious expression. He was really impressed by Wang Tiezhu's performance in this game. He kept running, sprinting, and then... stealing, heading, interception, and long shots!

Van Persie believes that although Wang Tiezhu in front of him did not score or assist, his physical run led the entire Leeds United team. His defense range was too large, and a few long shots were quite threatening. With him, Leeds United defeated Arsenal. If it weren't for him, the powerful attack power of the "Gunners" would definitely completely destroy the "Young Guards".

This young man... is really unforgettable!

"Shake!?"

Van Persie called out again, and Wang Tiezhu said "ah", and quickly took off his jersey and handed it to Van Persie: "That... I'm sorry, I... haha, I have no experience!"

Wang Tiezhu smiled awkwardly and grabbed the short hair on his head, which made Van Persie laugh, "Hehe, Shaq, work hard, I believe you will be better next time we meet!"

"Uh! OK! Thank you!"

Van Persie patted Wang Tiezhu on the shoulder, turned around and shook hands with Jonny Hausen. He is still the captain of Arsenal. Although his team lost in this game, Leeds United's performance is indeed remarkable. Although the team's strength is not very strong, their fighting spirit is admirable.

Jonny Hausen watched Van Persie leave with his hand raised above his head, and felt a sense of regret. This Dutchman is already the best scorer in the English Premier League, but Arsenal still cannot compare with Manchester United. This is really unfair to him!

Van Persie walked to the player's passage with the white No. 29 jersey in her hand, turned her head and looked at the Leeds United players who were still celebrating, and resolutely turned around and left...

I want to be a winner!

I want a championship!

I believe...it will be that day!
