Chapter 130 North London Derby

It was not easy to appease the angry Park Zhiyan. Degan really felt that he was going to become a strict wife. In fact, Degan didn't know why he had to deny it. Nothing had happened in the first place. It seemed that his resolute denial was a little darker and darker.

Fortunately, Degan did not lack helpers, and the other members of T-ARA were helping him reconcile, which finally made Park Ji-yeon calm down. Degan was also secretly happy. Fortunately, that night, he paid attention to the crazily secreted male hormones. Otherwise, things would have been really troublesome!

Okay! This is just a small episode in Degan's life. Now his focus is still to return to the game. After capturing the Etihad Stadium, the Spurs will welcome their century-old enemy Arsenal in White Hart Lane.

The first round of the North London Derby in the new season came as scheduled. The change is the replacement of multiple core players of the two teams, and what remains unchanged will be the fierce confrontation between the two teams.

The recent performance of the two teams in the league can be said to be very different. After losing away to Manchester United, Arsenal led by two goals at home and was overtaken by their opponents. Before the end of the game, they unfortunately missed a penalty to draw with their opponents. After Digan's integration into the team, Tottenham won consecutive victories, league ranking, Tottenham ranked in the league. Third, Arsenal ranked eighth.

As the sworn enemy of North London, in recent years, with the recruitment of Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal's frequent brain drain, and the strength of the two teams has been comparable, and the two teams have been in good and bad recently. Overall, the two teams are still in a balance of power.

Over the years, Arsenal have won more or lost less against the two teams, but in this game, Tottenham is at home in White Hart Lane, and there is a feud between the two teams. It is not so easy for Arsenal to retreat from White Hart Lane.

At the beginning of the season, Arsenal ushered in a new nuclear Cazzola, and the frontline combination for the team's siege became Prince Porti and Giroud, instead of General Fan, the team's midfield pillar Alexander. Song's departure has had a huge impact on the team. Fortunately, Wilshire, who has been cultivated for a year, made a timely comeback, which can effectively make up for the midfield vacancy. On the surface, Arsenal's strength has increased in the new season, but the team's overall performance has not been satisfactory since the fierce battle in the new season.

Tottenham has changed dramatically in the new season. Levi fired the meritorious coach Boas and chose to let the former Belgian national team coach Antienis take over the team. The team lineup has also changed dramatically in the new season. Modric, the core of the midfielder, finally chose to stay in the team, although Van der Vaart returned to Hann at the last moment. Fort, but the team introduced Degan, and the reconstruction is absolutely successful. The joining of the French goalkeeper Loris on the defense line, coupled with the increasingly excellent performance of Villetongen, makes the team no longer worry about the defense line in the next few years. The joining of midfielders Dembélé, Sigudson and others has also improved the thickness of the team's midfield, and the front line is successfully staying. After living in Adebayor, the team grabbed American soldier Dempsey at the last moment. The front line is already quite luxurious. Generally speaking, the team's transfer strategy to improve the depth of the team's lineup at the cost of losing some top players is desirable, which will help the team survive in the fierce Premier League.

The past North London derby has always not lacked fierce attacks and big score results, but the two players in North London in the new season have changed the team's style. Both teams no longer regard offense as life. Arsenal even once became the best defensive team in the Premier League, and Tottenham's playing style has also changed by Antiennis. After that, it seems more mature and stable. Perhaps the direct dialogue between the two teams can awaken the desire of the two teams to attack, and fans are also looking forward to a fierce North London derby on the weekend.

In world football, it is difficult to find a deeper enemy than Tottenham and Arsenal. Regarding the history of Tottenham's hatred between Tottenham and Arsenal, Degan was even clear in his previous life. At that time, even CCTV Sports Channel regarded Arsenal and Tottenham's North London Derby as One of the hottest derby battles in world football.

After joining Tottenham, Degan deeply felt Tottenham's strong resentment for Arsenal. This hatred is not a sentence at all. Two sentences can be made clear, nor can it be calculated in a game.

However, every North London derby is still the highlight of the Premier League every season. When the two teams meet on the court, every time they hit the earth without exception.

One day before the game, Degan had already felt the increasingly solemn atmosphere over the White Deer Lane Stadium, and the air was filled with an indescribable sense of depression.

For this game, several fans of Tottenham Hotspur began to prepare early, especially those extreme fan organizations, which have been preparing to play a big game since the beginning of the season.

"Rod! Bring us victory! Rod! Lead us to kill those damn Arsenal!"

"Victory! We want to win!"

"Kill them! Smash their goal!"

Walking into the training base from the parking lot, Degan's ears were full of the roar of fans. In fact, Degan has never had a good impression of these extreme fans, but at this moment, at least they were on the side.

Seeing that the fans were getting more and more excited, Degan had to stop and turn around to make a promise to the fans: "You want to see victory, right?"

"Of course! Rod! We want to win, and we want to make those Arsenal bastards look good!"

"That's right! We can't accept anything but victory!"

Digan was expressionless. When those people calmed down, he said, "Very good! But I also have a request! If you can agree, my brothers and I will give you victory!"

The fans suddenly became quiet and looked at Degan.

Digan waited for a while before saying, "I ask you not to clash with Arsenal fans, whether before, during or after the game."

In Degan's heart, the football war can only be put on the court. Fighting off the field is a stain on football and is absolutely unforgivable.

How's it going? Can you agree?"

A big bald head who seemed to be the leader of the fan group stood up: "We can agree, but the premise is that the bastards of Arsenal don't provoke us, otherwise, I can't guarantee that my fist will not be waved in their faces, and if you can't lead the team to kill Arsenal, we I won't let you go!"

When Digan heard the words, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "Are you threatening me?"

The bald man was stunned. I don't know why he, who had always been fearless, actually felt nervous at this moment.

"After the game, you can go home to celebrate the victory. If you let me know that you fight with Arsenal fans, I will no longer admit that you are Tottenham fans. I will also suggest that from now on, you are not allowed to go into White Hart Lane to watch the game. Remember my words, football luck The movement is a war on the court. Don't let your hot brains destroy our war and make this sport dirty!"

After saying that, Degan ignored the fans and turned around and walked into the training base.

"Hey! John! Shall we listen to him?"

"That guy is so self-righteous. Who does he think he is!? How dare you threaten us!"

The bald man called John waved his hand: "As long as he can kill Arsenal, we will listen to him this time!"

Although I feel uncomfortable, it is not unacceptable compared with being humiliated and restrained by Arsenal on the court. Who makes Tottenham's results against Arsenal so bad in recent years?

However, Digan is very confident about this game. Recently, Arsenal has been in a very poor state. It has lost seven goals in the last three games and has been reversed in two consecutive games. At the beginning of the season, the solid defense line has also become a lot of holes.

Especially in the game with his old enemy Manchester United, Vermmaren's mistake led to failure, and since then, Arsenal's defense has completely collapsed.

In the last round against West Bromwich, it seemed a pity to miss the penalty at the last moment, but in fact, it just proves that today's gunners are unable to guarantee victory.

Now after 11 rounds of the league, Arsenal has only 16 points, 11 points behind Manchester United at the top of the list. Arsenal has created their worst start in the same period since 1982/1983.

If it hadn't been for the last game against West Bromwich, Giroud would have equalized the score at the last minute, and the Gunners would have even faced the great shame of breaking West Bromwich's record of 108 unbeaten home.

Since the beginning of November, Arsenal's state has taken a sharp turn. Except for the lucky chance to win the Queen's Park Rangers, the rest of the games are two draws and three losses, and the defense line is the first culprit.

After the end of the last game, Wenger complained about the team's offensive firepower, but it seems that more should be mentioned about Arsenal's relegation-level defense.

It can be said that since the establishment of the Premier League, Arsenal has never been as cowardly as it is today.

Santos, who had been accused before, had been beaten into the cold by Wenger, but he didn't expect Arsenal's defense to be more "pit". Although in the last round of the league, Girou's goal prevented Arsenal's home defeat and also prevented the dilemma of losing streak.

However, Arsenal's recent unfavorable situation has become more and more obvious. Since the beginning of November, Arsenal has not played a "cool ball". The League Cup 7:5 reversed Reading, which is an epic miracle, but you should know that the source of the miracle is to lose four goals first, and Arsenal is also a full substitute.

In the rest of the game, only one Premier League game against the Queen's Park Rangers was won, but in the face of the last Queen's Park Rangers, Arsenal sleepwalked and finally with Arta's goal. Except for these two games, Arsenal did not make the fans angry.

What's the problem?

Now, it is obvious that there are many aspects. After the short honeymoon at the beginning of the season, Arsenal's shortcomings have become increasingly apparent. One day's offensive problems, one day's defensive problems, in the final analysis, strength and running-in.

After Van Persie left, there were no world-class stars among Arsenal's main players, and Arshavin and Walkot, who had the ability to change the situation, were repeatedly placed on the bench.

Wenger should reflect, and be more alert to the board of directors.

Of course, this is a commonplace that makes gun fans feel sad. In the past three years, Arsenal has made 150 million in exchange for the repeated decline of the team's strength.

Wenger is admirable. He has always adhered to his low-cost philosophy and defined the goal as the top four as Arsenal's realistic choice.

However, fans need championships, players are eager for honor, and Manchester United has not been crowned 38 years since the construction of Old Trafford. For a century-old club, the team can wait for.

But what about the fans?

What about the players?

Wenger can rely on his own ability to keep Arsenal in the ranks of giants, but the lack of honor makes fans wait too hard.

Although it is still under the hat of a rich family, the fact is that Arsenal has continuously played a close match with the middle and downstream teams, and the decline in strength is an indisputable fact.

If it goes on like this, what will be more lingering will be the psychological shadow, which is in sharp contrast to the Red Devils Manchester United. In the last round of practice, Manchester United staged another big reversal after falling behind 0:2.

For Arsenal fans, there is nothing more painful than this. In this round of the league, Arsenal's opponent is Tottenham Hotspur, a sworn enemy from North London. Victory may temporarily resolve the crisis. Once they continue to lose and wait for them, it may be a more terrible dilemma.

Is the North London Derby the first city derby in the Premier League?

There may be doubts about this problem, but compared with Manchester United and Manchester City's Manchester derby, Liverpool Everton's Merseysideby, and even Milwall and West Ham's East London derby, the North London Derby has its own unique advantage. It may be a little exaggerated to say that it is the first derby in the Premier League. But if it is the best derby in England, I'm afraid few people will have doubts.

The key to considering a derby is undoubtedly the level of confrontation, the depth of hatred, the degree of excitement and other aspects.

The North London Derby is not bad at all. According to statistics, since the beginning of the Premier League, the game between Arsenal and Tottenham has led to 121 goals, the most goals scored between any two teams in Premier League history.

The North London Derby once became synonymous with the goal battle. Last season, the two teams played 5:2 in White Hart Lane, scoring seven goals.

Arsenal VS Tottenham Hotspur, 5:4, 4:4, 5：2 Such scores are almost commonplace. Both teams play in style, and every derby is condensed with the smell of killing red eyes in the air.

In terms of the depth of hatred, the deep hatred of the two teams in North London is better than other derby. The hatred of the two teams can be traced back to 99 years ago, 1913, in order for the team's address to be closer to central London, in Henry. Under the leadership of Sir Norris, Arsenal moved from Woolwich in South London to North London, only four miles away from Tottenham Hotspur's White Hart Lane Field, which aroused strong opposition from Tottenham Hotspur, and the relegation of 1919 made Arsenal and Tottenham's hatred. Bottom knot.

The inextricable links between the two teams are also countless. Chapman, the first legendary leader in Arsenal's history, played for Tottenham Hotspur as an amateur player when he was young. Sol. Campbell moved freely from Tottenham to Arsenal and has been called "Judas" by Tottenham fans. Every time he returns to White Hart Lane, he is the highest level of booing.

Since the establishment of the Premier League, Arsenal have fallen behind 20 times against Tottenham, but the tenacious gunners only lost six of them, with 5 wins, 9 draws and 6 losses, grabbing 24 points!

Last season's game was 5:2, Tottenham held a 10-point advantage to visit the Emirates Stadium, and there were still 7 points after the loss, but from that game, Arsenal played triumphant songs, Tottenham retreated one after another, and still let the old enemy run to his head. It can be seen that the North London Derby, for the two teams, How important!

Although Arsenal's current situation is not good, no one dares to be careless, because only those involved in the North London Derby can deeply feel that this game is not just the 90 minutes on the court.

Walking into the training ground, Degan felt that everyone seemed very silent today. Whether it was the veteran of Tottenham Hotspur or the one who had just joined the team this season, everyone's expressions were particularly solemn.

The club obviously also knows the importance of this game, and also pulled a banner on the edge of the training ground: What is Arsenal?

When Degan saw the banner, he couldn't help laughing, walked to Antiennis, took out a pen from his pocket, and then went to the front of the banner and filled in a word after shit!

Seeing Degan's behavior and seeing the word Degan filled in clearly, everyone couldn't help laughing and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

Antienis clapped his hands and gathered the players together: "Okay! Everyone take a break! Rod! Don't you want to say something to your brothers before the war begins?

Degan smiled and walked to his teammates: "I have nothing to say. I think you met those fans outside when you came to the training ground just now. I can understand them and their desire for this victory. In North London, Arsenal has been on Tottenham for too long. North London needs a new king. This new king can only be Tottenham Hotspur. I don't know what to say about the game, victory! I am eager to win! Just like every game, I want my team to be the winner. I know that this game has many different meanings, but before the war, all I want to say is one by one!"

"Victory!"

The teammates shouted. Maybe they wanted to shout at the Tottenham fans in the stands after the game: "What is Arsenal?"

Then I got a response from the fans: "Shit!"
