After the graduation ceremony, Li Huan was recalled to London by Wenger a day earlier than the original, Li Huan has no complaints about this, because he knows how important the opponent Arsenal will face, Manchester City, one of the biggest nouveau riche in Europe this season, the two clubs that spend the most money in the summer transfer market are Real Madrid and Manchester City, although Arsenal spent 110 million euros to buy Li Huan and Wilmalen, but they sold striker Adebayo and central defender Toure to get 50 million euros, and the total expenditure is only 60 million, overall, Arsenal's expenses are still relatively low, and it is only because Li Huan's value is too terrifying that he has been noticed by the whole of Europe.

With so much money spent, the Abu Dhabi consortium will surely be hoping to reap the rewards as City aim to finish in the top four this season and even win the title. In the first three league games, Manchester City has won three consecutive victories, and the momentum is chasing the London three Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham, in addition to good results, strong strength, and great ambition, the Manchester team and Arsenal's game is important, and there is another reason, when the summer transfer, Arsenal's two-dollar big man was hooked by Manchester City with money, and Adebayo and Arsenal fans were also very stiff before leaving. Although Arsenal received 50 million euros in compensation, the taste and pain of being poached are by no means remedied by money alone.

Based on the above reasons, Wenger attaches no less importance to this game than against Manchester United, and the fans attach more importance to this game than Manchester United, because Adebayor claimed that it was the fans who forced him away after the transfer, and later Adebayo also helped Manchester City seduce his original teammate Toure, and instigated Fabregas to transfer, thinking that Arsenal would never want to win the championship, which made Arsenal fans full of hatred for the empathetic Adebayo, and wanted him to see that Manchester City could only give him money, But they can't give him victory and championships.

Bam Adebayor looked really upset with the Arsenal fans, and before the game, the Togolese striker insinuated sarcastically about the Arsenal fans, saying: "When you play for a group of fans who love you and always stand behind you, you want to give them the best and that's what I've been trying to do since I joined City." Just like newcomers like Barry and Carlos Tevez, the support from the fans gives you strength and that's the mental motivation that comes in mind, and I've scored 49 goals in the Premier League and I'm going to dedicate my fiftieth to my dear Arsenal fans. ”

Bam Adebayor will meet his former club Arsenal for the first time, and the Togolese man is calm: "My self-confidence is very high, yes, I will continue to enjoy the game and keep the momentum going, especially when I face my old friends – Klich, Song, Eboue. There was also a time when the World Footballer of the Year was going to be a tough game and I know the Arsenal players very well. I think we have a chance to win because we're playing at home and we're confident at the moment. ”

Another Arsenal veteran who transferred to Manchester City, Toure, did not speak, but the new club helped him to say that two weeks before the game, Manchester City announced that Toure would become the captain of Manchester City, which is a huge honor before the game, especially against his old club. But there is a deep sense for City to do so, as Toure has not been captained for seven years at Arsenal, and even the young Cesc Fabregas has been given a captaincy.

In the face of Manchester City and Adebayo's provocation, Arsenal fans were furious, and many people said on the Internet that they wanted to give Adebayo a little color, so booed that he couldn't even lift his legs, making him understand that the nouveau riche will never have a chance to become a giant. There are even extreme Gunners fans who say they would rather lose to Manchester United than Manchester City.

In the face of the challenge of the old player, Wenger did not have much disgust, except because Adebayo only sarcastically said that the fans still respected him, Wenger believes that in addition to the main factor of money, Arsenal fans did not show much loss and reluctance when they learned that Adebayo left, but opened champagne to celebrate, which is also a reason for Adebayo to leave resolutely, but Wenger believes that it is normal for Arsenal fans to treat Adebayo like this, because Adebayo is very lazy and slack in the game, Left a bad impression on the fans. At the same time, Wenger also thinks that Adebayo's sarcasm of fans in the interview also seems very ungraceful, because fans are just ordinary people.

Li Huan had just flown back to London when he was interviewed by a reporter from Sky Sports, who had already learned about some of Manchester City's and Adebayor's remarks and practices through newspapers and television, and of course he hoped to boost his morale before the game began, even if he did not give Manchester City the upper hand even verbally. ：

'When I came to Arsenal, everyone here trusted me. At the moment, I just want to give back to the club and the manager. We've played three Premier League games and we've won them all, so we're all happy and happy. Of course we want to continue our wins and enjoy our time on the pitch. I don't want to comment on Bam Adebayo, he's scored three times in a row and maybe again this time, but the win will definitely be ours. Li Huan didn't say much, but he was full of strong confidence and pride, under Li Huan's prestige, such language was enough to make Arsenal fans happily and reassuringly wait for the start of the game, they believed that Li Huan was the patron saint of Arsenal, and would definitely let them win one victory after another and break the history of no championship.

Arsene Wenger called the players back to training a day earlier, not only because of fear of Manchester City's strength, but also because of some problems with Arsenal themselves, from the 0304 season onwards. Accustomed to the collapse of the surname is already synonymous with Arsenal, Arsenal is always prone to play very well, suddenly out of shape, successive heavy defeats, even Professor Wenger can't figure out what's going on, but he has already begun to make preparations, hoping to get rid of this bad problem.

In this matchup with Arsenal, the pre-game media hype gimmick is "a big test of whether Manchester City has the ability to reach the top four", and in fact, it is true, even if the media does not hype, Wenger also believes that it is a test battle, in training Wenger strengthened the tactics of breaking the dense defense, because Wenger watched the first three games in detail before, and Manchester City's five warm-up games, the professor found that this team, known as the "copycat Real Madrid" team, is actually very good in defense, which is similar to a lot of media, And Wenger's original idea is very different, in Wenger's view, the summer transfer to Manchester City spent 121 million pounds to sign Adebayor, Tevez, Kolo Toure, Santa Cruz, Barry, Lescott, only two of them are defenders, most of them are attacking players, which seems to indicate that Manchester City's defense may not be tacit enough, and there are many problems.

However, Manchester City scored four goals in three league games, did not concede a goal, and is also the only team in the Premier League that has not conceded a goal, and the data of "tackle success rate", which most reflects the defensive level, after the end of this game, Manchester City ranks second in the league with a success rate of 20.5%, and is far stronger than the traditional top four, indicating that Manchester City's defenders are very solid.

Against such a well-defended team, Arsene Wenger must first find a way to break down their defense, and then he can talk about defending against the opponent's counter-attack! Defend and counterattack! This is the core strategy of Manchester City's new season, and its basic model means the Brazilian team's style of play in recent years, because Manchester City has a very prominent star, choosing to first stabilize the defense and then try to attack, and it is precisely because of the outstanding defensive ability that Manchester City can use Bellamy, Wright Jr. This kind of fast horse can quickly implement a blitzkrieg against the opponent with the help of Bellamy, Wright. It's a low-key style of play, but it's terrifying. It is also a tactical style that Arsenal is more afraid of, and if it is supplemented by Chelsea's ferocious pressing, it will become Arsenal's natural enemy.

There are not many ways to beat a team that defends and counterattacks, nothing more than this, two strong center forwards, bombarding with headers in turn; Long shots, set-pieces, individual breakaways.

In the new season, Arsenal worries people about nothing is the striker, after leaving Adebayo, there is only Van Persie on the Arsenal front, Bendtner and Eduardo are trustworthy, and Van Persie and Eduardo are both technical strikers, or the type that is particularly prone to injury, Bendtner is quite tall, but the header ability is low, the technique is average, in addition, Bella and others are too young to be difficult to provoke the beam, so the first way obviously can't go.

Long-range shots, set-pieces and individual breakthroughs are the best choices for Arsenal, and it just so happens that Li Huan, who joined Arsenal this season, is best at these three, after the start of the season, Arsenal has not encountered a team that has a real defensive counterattack, so this game is a test for Arsenal, and it is also a test for Li Huan.

In training, Wenger focuses on practicing these three things, the reputation of Xiao Li Feidao has spread all over the world, Wenger knows that Manchester City will definitely try to avoid free kicks within 30 meters, and it is difficult for individual breakthroughs to be effective when defending intensively, so the professor mainly trains free kicks outside 30 meters to improve the sudden surname of the attack.

In addition to training the means of breaking down dense defences, Wenger also strengthened the attack and defense on the wings, Manchester City's Wright Jr. and Bellamy are very fast, they must defend well on both flanks, especially Klich's side, Wenger told him to defend boldly and assist carefully.

After three days of intensive training, the Arsenal players finally went to Manchester again to attack the "copycat Real Madrid" Manchester City team entrenched here, and continued to attack the top position.
