The so-called hottest city derby in England is that no matter how many games you play in a short period of time, the stadium is still full

The Emirates Stadium on 10 October was packed to capacity, with 60,000 fans gathered at the brand-new Emirates Stadium to witness the 153rd north London derby, and the Gunners fans were hoping to see Arsenal defeat their rivals once again, preferably back to their original form.

Since the beginning of this season, with Ye Qiu's strong entry, Tottenham Hotspur has still occupied a lot of pages in newspapers and media even if it has poor results, and has received a lot of attention.

But if it's in normal times, if it's not happy, you can't do anything about the other party, but now it's different, and the two teams are going to get up.

As a result, Arsenal fans booed Tottenham Hotspur from the beginning at the Emirates Stadium, hoping to use the boos to affect Tottenham Hotspur's performance, and Arsenal also actively used home advantage to launch an attack on Tottenham Hotspur at the beginning.

Arsene Wenger has a knot in this game, and that is David Beckham.

Ye Qiu's starting lineup in this game was a little surprising, but it was not surprising.

The goalkeeper is Petr Cech, the backline is Vargas, Hangrande, Thiago Silva and Arbeloa, the midfield trio is David Beckham, Mascherano and Cesc Fabregas, and the front three are Franck Ribery, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Messi.

Tottenham Hotspur can be said to have played the main lineup, and for Beckham's start, it is not surprising, because he has played more and more time in the past two games, but the debut against Liverpool is very eye-catching, but the FA Cup against Cardiff is more average, which also makes many people worry that the Anfield stadium game will be a flash of inspiration for Beckham, and then completely extinguished?

Arsene Wenger did not dare to take risks, he had seen many times in the second half of the Anfield game, after Beckham came on, Tottenham Hotspur's midfield became very threatening, and it can even be said that even Benitez, a very well-targeted manager, could not find a solution and restraint for a while.

Therefore, in this game, Wenger is Baptista, the Brazilian beast can not only play forward, impact the opponent's defense for Henry, but also be able to retreat to play midfield, both offensive and defensive, so Wenger hopes that he can help the midfielder when necessary, strengthen the midfield, and deal with the move from Tottenham Hotspur.

Because of this, Arsenal seemed to rush to attack after the opening, but in fact, the offensive investment was not large.

Beep~

A whistle came from the pitch, which woke Wenger up, his heart jumped, and he looked up, how worried he was about seeing the opportunity to see the team give Tottenham Hotspur a set-piece in front, but fortunately, when he looked up, he saw Henry shaking his head in annoyance and walking back, and the linesman raised the flag in his hand high, which was an offside.

Looking at the big screen on the pitch, what I saw was Rosicky's through ball, Henry started too quickly, and Tottenham Hotspur's defense pressed quickly as a whole, causing Henry to be in a very obvious offside position at the moment of Rosicky's pass.

Wenger sat in the home team's coach's box, although there was a soft and comfortable leather sofa chair under his buttocks, but he always felt awkward, no matter how he sat down, he sighed, stood up, and walked out of the coach's box

Arsenal soon created another chance, Baptista pulled up to the right, dodged past Vargas and crossed, but the cross was stuck by Thiago Silva, and the Brazilian centre-back cleared the ball with a header in the battle with Thierry Henry, defusing an attack from Arsenal.

But after the ball flew out of the box, Arteta cut in and stopped the ball and fired a direct long-range shot, but the angle was too straight and was directly saved by Cech, and Arsenal's wave of attacks also caused thunderous cheers from the Gunners fans in the stands at the Emirates Stadium, who obviously hoped that the team could continue to work hard, preferably as soon as possible.

Arsene Wenger stood on the sidelines as he watched his side keep attacking Tottenham Hotspur to little effect

He can feel that Tottenham Hotspur's defense is indeed getting tighter and tighter, in fact, he was aware of this problem as early as the league game a month ago, although Tottenham Hotspur holds high the banner of attacking football, and there are many people who think that this team is known for attacking football.

But in fact, the team's defense is also quite tight, and it is very layered and organized.

For example, Rosicky's pass to Henry just now, Tottenham Hotspur's offside trap was quite good, and then no matter how Arsenal played and attacked, Tottenham Hotspur's defense was very layered, orderly, and wrong but not chaotic.

This makes it difficult for Arsenal's attacking team to create a threat.

It's like this time, Henry is about to break through on the left side, but Arbeloa's defender is not fast, but the sticky kung fu is first-class, directly sticking to Henry, not allowing Henry to break through as he wants, as a result, Henry had to stop and cross, Baptista plugged in, grabbed ahead of Mascherano, and barely got up to shoot from a distance, high.

If you look at it purely from this attack, Arsenal has the advantage, but in fact, they have not created an effective threat at all, neither Thierry Henry nor Baptista have been able to create a good chance to score in an absolute sense.

"Let them move on goal in our half, don't give them set-pieces in front of them," Wenger frowned, looking worried, and explained to assistant coach Pete Rice who walked out with him.

Beckham's set-piece skills do not need to be said, the whole world knows it, and Arsenal does have a weakness in defending set-pieces, because whether it is Gallas or Kolo Toure, the ability to defend high balls is not very strong, because height limits their play, and on the contrary, Tottenham Hotspur has tall players like Hangrande in the team, as well as a strong scoring center like Vanney, which cannot be careless at all.

Wenger had solemnly warned the players before the game to reduce the number of fouls in his own half, so Arsenal played a relatively clean game in their own half, and the team attacked from the beginning, and it was not without consideration that the battlefield should be placed in the Tottenham Hotspur half as much as possible.

But not long after Wenger's request, just after Arsenal had been attacking for about ten minutes after the opening, Tottenham Hotspur also launched a counter-attack, Beckham won the ball and passed the ball past Arsenal's midfield and fell to the feet of Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The Dutch centre-forward took the ball with his back and leaned on Kolo Toure and Gallas with his back, and at this time, because of the presence of Beckham and Mascherano behind him, Cesc Fabregas's attack was more resolute and he stepped in directly.

Ruud van Nistelrooy played the ball to Cesc Fabregas, who slid a through ball between Gallas and Klich, while Messi quickly shook Klich off and got on to catch it with great speed.

Gallas's reaction speed is also very fast, fast chase, and blocked Messi outside the big penalty area, but the Argentine teenager is very skillful at his feet, a feint, deceived Gallas in the high-speed sprint had to stop, but he is small, and the speed of adjusting the center of gravity is obviously faster, and after deceiving Gallas to follow the emergency stop, Messi suddenly accelerated.

When a person adjusts his center of gravity, it is impossible for his feet to move, but Gallas knows very well that if Messi is allowed to pass at this time, it is a single knife, with the personal ability of the Argentine youngster, it is not a problem to hit the empty goal directly after passing Lehmann, so the idea of stopping Messi from passing through his mind flashed through his mind in an instant, and he reached out and grabbed Messi's jersey.

The Argentine teenager lost his balance and fell to the ground as the referee's whistle blew at the same time.

Tottenham Hotspur fans in the "red card" stands cheered in unison, it was a tactical foul

However, the crowd of Arsenal fans booed in unison and cursed Tottenham Hotspur fans for putting pressure on the referee, and the entire Emirates Stadium was full of people.

"At this time, it is a test of the referee's willpower, this is indeed a tactical foul, Gallas is also the last defender, at this time, if the referee is tough enough, Gallas should be given a red card and punished for his tactical foul, but now the game has just begun, and this is the Emirates Stadium again"

The Arsenal fans in the stadium clearly knew how to take advantage of this, so they kept putting pressure on the referee.

Sometimes, the so-called home advantage is further manifested in this way.

The referee stopped the players from both sides who wanted to press, and Arsenal obviously felt that this was an ordinary foul, because Kolo Toure was already chasing back, but Tottenham Hotspur felt that it was an undoubted tactical foul, and after that, Messi went into the box to form a single knife, which is not a tactical foul?

After calming the mood of both players, the referee finally showed Gallas a yellow card and gave Tottenham a set-piece in front of goal, which was about a metre from goal and slightly to the right of the curl.

"If it's in the second half, Arsenal will be finished," Ye Qiu looked at from the sidelines and shook his head.

Sometimes the referee has to consider many, many factors when making a decision, even considering the home factor, and the home team is given a red card just after 13 minutes of play, which is indeed a great test of the referee's willpower.

"Damn, it's always them who take advantage" Roland scolded on the side, the last time he visited the Emirates Stadium, there was controversy over both goals, but considering that the referee was Bol, plus it was just a controversy, it was within the scope of the referee's measurement, so Tottenham Hotspur did not show too toughness.

"If Gallas is sent off now, not only will Arsenal not have to play this game, but they will not have to play the next leg," Mauro Tasotti also explained the referee's approach with a wry smile.

There is no way to be completely neutral in the enforcement standards of football matches, and the referee's decision is always affected by very, very many factors, assuming that Arsenal is not given a red card this time, resulting in Tottenham Hotspur eventually losing the game, then Tottenham Hotspur is indeed very wronged.

Of course, the referee committee will also have this aspect of consideration, so many times it is you who suffer at this time, and I will compensate you in the next games, or in the future games, which can be regarded as finding a balance.

This is also the reason why everyone says that anyone can suffer from the referee's mistakes, and it is also the reason why Mourinho kept bombarding the referee in his previous life, but was scoffed at by most professionals

If all teams have to list their own misjudgments, it is definitely a lot, and if you want to list the misjudgments that they have taken advantage, it must be just as many, of course, it is impossible to lose as much as taking advantage, no one can do it.

So generally speaking, unless it is very necessary, Ye Qiu will generally not put pressure on the referee, or even bombard.

This time, the penalty spot was in a place where you could choose to either shoot yourself or assist indirectly, and the main penalty player was still Beckham, who stood near the penalty spot, put the ball, slowly took a few steps back, and calculated the distance.

In the penalty area, players from both teams rushed in, and Lehmann leaned against the right post, where he directed his teammates to put up the wall.

Everyone is a professional player and is used to the principle of listening to the referee on the football field, so when Beckham is on his feet, both sides are ready to deliver the final blow

Beckham ran a lot in this game, this was his first start in a long time, but he has always maintained a high intensity of training, coupled with the familiarization and adaptation process of the previous two games, so that although he is a little tired because his body is far from being in the best condition, after all, it is just beginning, just a little breathing.

Stretched out his right hand and made a downward motion, Beckham sprinted forward quickly four steps with the referee's whistle, impartially just stepped on his left foot, picked up his right foot, and drew against the ball.

The ball climbed quickly, jumped over the high wall, and fell quickly in the middle of the penalty area, at a fast speed, almost in the blink of an eye, and by the time Lehmann reacted and flew quickly to the right of the man, the ball had almost grazed the angle between the crossbar and the right post, and hit the net.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

"Full Moon Scimitars scored from a great direct free-kick"

'A direct free-kick from David Beckham, his first goal since returning to the Premier League, from his iconic Full Moon Scimitar, was brilliant and he scored from a direct free-kick from just over 20 metres from goal.

In the hoarse shouts of the game commentator, Beckham seemed to be a very ordinary thing, not excited at all, not at all excited by the goal, he was hugged and congratulated by his teammates after the goal, but he smiled and walked back slowly.

He knows his physical condition better than anyone else, and the lack of games for a long time has made him still not at his best, although he insists on training every day, but in the end it is just training, it can only help the players to maintain their condition, but the players' form comes from the games, and the lack of games is not much better

Therefore, after coming to Tottenham Hotspur, although Beckham has shown a lot of enthusiasm and hard work, he has contributed more in the transfer of long passes and set-pieces, which makes him feel dissatisfied with himself, because he can do more and do better.

Although he has only been in London for less than half a month, he has already clearly felt that in Tottenham Hotspur, he has a group of very good teammates, and has a very outstanding manager, this is a team that is a big thing, so Beckham is constantly adjusting his requirements and goals.

At the very least, he has to prove that he can get his place in this team

"It's Beckham again, he played Liverpool before, he chose to assist from set-pieces, but this time he chose to come on his own and scored Arsenal with a direct free-kick, which made Lehmann unable to react at all

The big screen at the Emirates Stadium kept replaying the whole process of Beckham's direct free kick just now, the perfect combination of speed, force, and arc, and by the time Lehmann reacted, the ball had already entered the net.

Arsene Wenger sighed deeply on the sidelines, rejoicing that Gallas had escaped a tactical foul, but now he felt helpless because he had escaped a red card but had been opened by Tottenham Hotspur and scored.

Of course, one less man is the latter than conceding a goal, and Wenger will definitely choose the latter, not the former.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the dead ball after the goal, Ye Qiu walked to the sidelines and made a move to press forward towards the team, signaling the team to take advantage of the victory to pursue, not to give Arsenal a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, and to fight directly to the death, completely knocking out the morale and sharpness of the Gunners.

It's not just about this game, it's also about the next leg at White Hart Lane.

At the same time, Ye Qiu also conveyed the adjustment order to Beckham through Ribery, that is, after the team pressed forward, he should not retreat too far, because Ye Qiu noticed that Baptista actively retreated to participate in the midfield defense, and once Beckham retreated back, it became Baptista who defended him.

In other words, Ye Qiu asked Beckham to weigh himself how to move between the two players, Gilberto Silva and Baptista, which was a test for him.

But the veteran is the veteran, Beckham soon got another chance, this time he took advantage of Baptista has not retreated into place, Gilberto Silva did not dare to press forward when he took the ball, a long pass over the top, the ball fell behind Collo Toure, Ribery quickly cut in the anti-offside position and got the ball along the left side, low cross on the left side of the penalty area.

Gallas and Ruud van Nistelrooy were battling in the box, but Gallas took the lead and cleared the ball with his feet, but tripped Ruud van Nistelrooy, and the referee judged it to be a good defence, so he signaled the game to continue, and Arsenal quickly counter-attacked.
