Chapter 100 Isn't It the Iron Barrel Formation?

Chapter 100 Isn't it the Iron Barrel Array?

The home team's locker room on the other side.

Although the position here is much larger than that of the visiting team, it is really like what Kevin said. The FA also copied a copy of the equipment here and sent it to the visiting team's dressing room, so that Wembley could play a neutral role as much as possible. The role of the stadium.

However, Wembley is always in London, and Arsenal players who have not left London still have a feeling of playing at home.

At this time, Wenger also warned something last before the game.

"Passing in the backcourt must be steady and not easy to take risks!!" Wenger stressed.

Luton is a team that likes to press in the frontcourt very much. In Wenger's view, the biggest advantage of this team lies in this. They have good discipline and are very physically fit. A team that is entirely dominated by young people in their twenties is not a problem at all in terms of physical fitness.

"They may pounce hard!! So we can't be careless!!" Wenger emphasized again, "The most important thing in this game is that we must not let the opponent get the chance to steal the ball and fight back."

"Control the ball and be patient to find their loopholes!" Wenger punched the tactical board with a bang.

"The side lane!! The side lane is their weakness!!"

Indeed, compared to the middle, Luton's wing actually has a lot of space. However, Gao Bo has no good way. The strength of the team is here. In the case of defense, of course, it is necessary to give priority to defending key areas.

"We tore the space from the sidewalk and made a fuss on the two ribs!!" Wenger glanced at the disciples around, seeing that everyone was concentrating and not distracted, he opened his mouth and smiled: "It's like We have the same training this week."

In order to deal with Luton, Arsenal's training sessions this week are all around this opponent, which is almost the preparation for facing the top teams in the league.

In order to reach the final, Wenger will never allow any surprises.

Four years without a trophy of any weight put Wenger under pressure. No matter what this season, he will bring the FA Cup trophy back to the Emirates Stadium!

Wenger is bound to win.

......

The game is still a few minutes away, and both head coaches have completed their last mobilization before the game.

When the players of both sides lined up on the court to enter the field, the coaching staff of both sides had already made it to the coaching bench.

Gao Bo took the initiative to go and shake hands with Wenger.

After all, in the coaching profession, Wenger is a world-renowned coach and a respectable senior. So Gao Bo stretched out his hands and gave Wenger enough face.

In such innocuous things, Gao Bo always does a good job. This is probably also related to the experience of the previous life, he rarely has the frizz of young people.

Wenger reached out and shook hands with Gao Bo, he looked at the young Gao Bo absentmindedly.

Many coaches who played against Gao Bo for the first time were always like this when they met Gao Bo in person. After all, he was too young.

He's even younger than some of the players on the field. This gave Wenger a feeling he didn't know how to describe.

The other party was in a suit and leather shoes. Although the waist was slightly bent, there was a confident smile on his face.

Young and promising, I really don't know where this guy appeared.

I don't know if I can dig him over to be my assistant? Wenger thought.

Of course Gao Bo didn't know what Wenger was thinking, but if he knew, he would definitely not be an assistant to anyone...

....

"What did Wenger tell you?"

After Gao Bo returned, the players from both sides had already started to play in the following teams led by the referee.

Gao Bo stood next to the coach's bench and applauded with John Aston.

"He said he was going to win, I said it wasn't that easy, then he said we'll see, and then I said I won and I don't mind buying him a drink." Gao Bo said nonsense in a serious manner.

"Really??" John obviously couldn't.

To say that this conversation took place between Wenger and Ferguson would probably be believed. . . .

"Of course...not true!!"

Gao Bo smiled back.

John Aston was originally a little nervous, but when he saw that the head coach could still talk and laugh like this, his nervousness was relieved a lot.

Players on both sides are entering the stadium, and the fans on both sides in the stands are already getting more excited.

From the stands came the loud and neat singing of Arsenal fans.

"We're by far the greatest team since the world ever seen! (We're by far the greatest club in the world)"

Gao Bo didn't respond after hearing it, he just felt familiar.

"Why do I seem to have heard this song at Worth Field?"

Since the Arsenal fans were singing, the Luton fans were also cheering at the Luton players on the pitch, so Gao Bo couldn't quite understand the lyrics, but he could still hear the melody.

"This song is called And it's Arsenal (this is Arsenal). It has a very long history. It has been sung in Highbury as early as the 1930s. It is the earliest cheering song for the English team. , Many teams have also learned this melody and sang the lyrics themselves." John explained next to him.

"Haha, if Kroenke was the manager of Arsenal in the past, I guess he would find other teams to collect copyright fees for songs..." Gao Bo laughed.

John and the others also laughed...

At this moment, a series of pre-match ceremonies on the court had also been completed. The players on both sides stood in their respective positions, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle to start the game.

Arsenal got the right to kick off, and Adebayor stepped on the ball at the bottom of his foot. Next to him was his striker partner, the Dutchman Robin van Persie!

With the referee's whistle, Adebayor kicked the ball to Van Persie, then turned and ran forward!

"Okay, fans!! Ladies and gentlemen!! The first game of the 2008-2009 FA Cup semi-final is finally at Wembley!! The two sides are Arsenal facing the FA this season. The big dark horse of the Cup, Luton!!! After 90 minutes, who will walk out of this stadium with a smile?!" Letkinson said enthusiastically, grabbing the microphone on the commentary stand.

"Maybe 120 minutes..." Next to Letkinson is Arsenal football legend Paul Mawson, who retired from Millwall last season. This young man was almost destroyed by alcohol. Arsenal player, now retired as a football commentator. This Arsenal game, Sky Sports specially invited him as a commentary guest.

"You think there's a good chance the game will be tied?" Letkinson asked.

"Look at Luton's formation, they have five defenders in the midfield and they look like they're going to stick to the box to keep a draw, although that's unlikely to succeed, but I think it's the only one for Luton. Here's a chance..." Paul Mawson said eloquently in the commentary.

However, at this moment, there was exclamation in the stands, and Paul Mosen looked up in surprise.

He didn't see everything that happened before. He only saw Vardy holding his head, turning around and running back...

Luton...a shot on goal?

Paul Mawson was a little unsure, but judging by the reactions of the fans it was.

Isn't Luton playing in a barrel formation in this game?
