Chapter 207 The North London Derby Under the Rain! A crucial match in the 13th round of the Premier League!
2015 11 Month 21 Day.

At two o'clock in London, a light drizzle was falling. Police cars with their glaring lights were parked on the side of the street, and several patrol officers were patrolling in twos and threes. Their raincoats with yellow reflective strips were very eye-catching.

"Report! Everything is fine here. Fans, please enter the stadium in an orderly manner!"

One of the young police officers had barely finished speaking when he stopped listening to the radio because there were several fans in front of him hurling insults at each other on either side of the safety barrier.

"Arsenal is a load of rubbish, a fake number one! They can't even beat Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, so they shouldn't be representing English football!"

"Stop barking like a clown who doesn't even qualify for the Champions League!"

"You son of a bitch!"

"."

As the fans from both sides exchanged insults, they pushed down the barriers and began waving their fists.

Tottenham fans still remember when Arsenal fans tore down their stadium signs when they visited White Hart Lane in the third round of the EFL Cup.

They also want to destroy things at the Emirates Stadium.

It doesn't matter whether it's a guardrail, a sign, or anything else.

Anything that can be destroyed is acceptable.

"Stop! Stop! Islington Regional Command Team, there's a clash between fans at the southeast entrance of Emirates Stadium!"

Several police officers rushed forward through the rain to separate the crowd.

Such incidents occur frequently around the Emirates Stadium.

Despite the gloomy weather, nearly 50,000 fans formed a crowd and entered the Emirates Stadium from various entrances.

Storm is coming.

Everyone had a similar feeling.

At the pre-match press conference.

Because a picture circulating online recently went viral, Qin Ming even liked several tweets about it. The picture showed Harry Kane as a child wearing an Arsenal jersey.

This raises suspicions about whether the young England striker is pregnant.

“Kane is indeed a very high-level player and he will have a great career, but we will never consider signing him as long as he has played for Tottenham.”

Wenger's response was concise and clear.

When asked about the injury situation, Wenger sighed helplessly, "To be honest, I am really worried about this issue, because it is only November and we already have so many injuries. We are about to face the Christmas schedule, and at that time we may have even more players who cannot play."

"However, we have been performing very well in the Premier League so far, and we will continue to play well in this round. We are very confident in winning the title, and we are very focused. I believe we are the main force in the title race, but the premise is that we must maintain consistency. Derby is always full of talking points and pressure, which is the charm of derby."

After speaking, Wenger expressed his confidence.

Being the head coach of a team is like being the helmsman of a ship; you must maintain unwavering faith.

Otherwise, why would players follow you steadfastly?
the other side.

"The loss in the last EFL Cup doesn't mean anything. We've gone through the adjustment and adaptation process at the beginning of the season, and our overall strength has improved significantly."

Who is the strongest young player in the Premier League?

"Qin, Harry, and others, they should all be stronger in terms of continuous breakthroughs, but I won't discuss who is better, because that's not something I'm going to consider."

Pochettino said.

What are your thoughts on the recent rumors surrounding Harry Kane?

The Sun reporter wasn't following the game.

“Harry is loyal to Tottenham. He has been here since he was a child and he will not leave in the future. This is a consensus we reached after discussing it.”

Pochettino was genuinely startled when he saw it.

With Campbell's "Judas Story" already established, we absolutely cannot allow a sequel to emerge.

Otherwise, Tottenham fans would explode.

He also discussed this issue with Harry Kane.

It can only be said that, similar to Gerrard wearing an Everton jersey, neither party had any subjective intentions.

When Wenger returned to the locker room.

Qin Ming was drying his head with a towel. The rainy days in Dunhuang were awful; his clothes were wet and he was cold.

After drying my hair, I changed into a new, dry jersey.

Although it will get wet again soon, it is still necessary to change it.

"I've explained Tottenham's tactics countless times, so I won't repeat them here." Wenger unzipped his down jacket without any obstruction. "But I still want to emphasize the importance of the derby."

As he spoke, he opened the locker room door a crack, and instantly a noisy commotion rushed in.

"More than 40,000 fans outside are hoping for a victory today, and we need these crucial three points to continue leading the standings!"

"So do your best to win the game."

Wenger's calm voice was full of power.

"Qin, is there anything you want to say?" Mertesacker asked.

There's a tradition within Arsenal now: the pre-match pep talk is entrusted to Qin Ming, who has the best oratory skills.

"Ahem. Today's match is definitely going to be tough, much more intense than the EFL Cup. Everyone needs to be mentally prepared!"

Let's beat Tottenham together!

Qin Ming didn't say much.

The bustling crowd outside, the low pressure of the gloomy weather, and the clashes between fans all seemed to make the air thick and sticky.

In such a heated atmosphere, even if you are usually calm, you will get excited and change your demeanor.

The only thought on everyone's mind when they step onto the field is to fight for victory.

"Three, two, one! Arsenal!"

"Forward! Forward! Forward!"

The gunmen's roars were more intense than the indoor heating.

A similar scene unfolded in the away team's locker room.

soon.

Qin Ming followed his teammates out of the locker room. The player tunnel was red and white, with the Arsenal crest on both sides.

He has walked that route many times.

But whenever he stands here again, he still feels his heart surging with emotion.

This is the desire to explore an unknown competition.

My mind is racing with thoughts.

From Bayern Munich's reserve team to Wolfsburg, and now to Arsenal, a year and a half has passed in the blink of an eye.

"Phew!" Qin Ming exhaled, his gaze passing over his teammates' shoulders and looking towards the exit of the bright passage.

If you keep walking, you will eventually reach your destination.

These are the words he said to himself.

Harry Kane, who was standing next to Qin Ming, glanced at him.

Last season, he thought the two could become teammates, but Tottenham would have a hard time affording a transfer fee of £90 million.

Unless they sell another Bell.

But he never expected that they would be playing for their arch-rival team.

There was no animosity between the two; on the contrary, they had a pretty good personal relationship. However, sometimes their stances had to align with their respective camps.

"We have to win." Harry Kane has always wanted to bring a championship trophy to Tottenham.

The league is still in its early to mid-stages. Even if we fall behind by a few points, there is still hope of catching up.

And this match is crucial.

Shortly after, the players from both teams walked out of the tunnel and into the LeSports broadcast room.

"Good evening, viewers!"

"We are now broadcasting live the 16th round of the 2015-13 Premier League season!"

Arsenal host Tottenham!

"Here are the starting lineups for both teams!"

"Arsenal field a 4-2-3-1 formation, goalkeeper:."

"Due to injuries to Ramsey and Bellerin, Flamini and Debuchy will start, with no changes to the rest of the positions!" "Qin Ming will continue as the starting left winger!"

"He's been involved in quite a few scandals lately, such as with actress Cara Delevingne!"

Just as Zhan Jun finished speaking, Zhang Lu tugged at him.

Coach Zhang mouthed: Don't say this in public.

Although the media has reported a lot of information, the parties involved have not come forward to make a clear statement, so as a domestic commentary platform, they have no need to talk about this matter.

"Pochettino also fielded a 4-2-3-1 formation today, with the goalkeeper as follows:..."

"Son Heung-min and Trippier, who played previously, are on the bench. The player who will be matched up against Qin Ming has been replaced by Kyle Walker, an extremely fast full-back."

"Zhan Jun said."
-
Can Kyle Walker deliver another memorable moment?
-
To be honest, he's just riding on Qin Ming's coattails. Look at the number of comments on his tweets—they've increased significantly! He's making a lot of money from advertising.
-
The key point is that all the comments were GIFs of that dribbling move.
-
[Chase and kill?]
-
Kyle Walker disabled the comment function yesterday.
-
[Tottenham's Dele Alli seems to be doing quite well; he scored a beautiful goal in the friendly match against France a few days ago.]
-
He could be considered a child prodigy, if not a genius.
-
Qin Ming: Who isn't a child prodigy?
-
Tottenham's squad is more complete than Arsenal's, so this match is really hard to predict!
-
【.】

Thanks to Qin Ming, Chinese fans got to know Kyle Walker, although not with a good impression.

Emirates Stadium.

"The match is about to start!" Bertrand Carlsen, who was in the North Stand, had someone watch the bar for him while he came to watch the game.

As a loyal Arsenal fan, how could I miss the derby?

Swish! The Arsenal flag fluttered in the rain, shattering the raindrops with a sharp, rustling sound.

People didn't notice that their view was blocked by the flags.

This is something that die-hard fans can't avoid; all they have to do is follow the team leader and support their players with their voices.

"Arsenal!!!"

Amid cheers, the whistle blew.

Beep! ! !
The match has begun.

After Arsenal kicked off, the ball was passed around before reaching Qin Ming's feet.

"There are quite a lot of people today."

Qin Ming saw Lamela, Dale, and Kyle Walker forming a triangle, locking himself in a narrow wing.

It seems this is a targeted tactic by Pochettino.

After testing the waters and finding that the other party remained unmoved, Qin Ming sent a message back to Kirkland.

In the early stages of a match, there's no need to force a breakthrough, as it can easily lead to losing possession and causing your touch to cool down.

Before Kirkland could receive the ball, Lamela changed direction.

"Tottenham seemed to be trying to induce Qin Ming to pass the ball, and then pressing him in Arsenal's half, forcing Arsenal players to make mistakes!"

"Continuous feedback to Cech!"

"Go all the way to the right!"

Cech is very experienced. He noticed that Tottenham's formation was relatively advanced, so he decisively abandoned organizing from the back and instead looked for Sanchez.

Chilean thigh glanced at Ali, who was charging from the side.

Bang! Lower your center of gravity to stop the ball first, then go head-to-head with Ali.

The young player felt his center of gravity shift, and he stumbled and fell down in a sorry state.

"Wow!" Qin Ming exclaimed upon seeing it, while quickly moving forward along the side and glancing at Kyle Walker who was following behind.

The speed is really fast.

Then there's no need to linger on the flanks.

"Third brother!" Qin Ming exchanged glances with Cazorla, switching places as they moved forward.

Although it wasted some time, it also disrupted Tottenham's defense.

Giroud found an opportunity to quickly move forward, bursting out of Vertonghen's blind spot, and flicked the ball with his heel after receiving a cross from Sanchez.

"Good post!"

Seeing this, Qin Ming quickened his pace, broke through the dense rain curtain, and unleashed a powerful shot at the ball.

Bang! The football was blasted towards the goal with full force.

On rainy days, you don't need to consider the angle; if you can kick with full power, you can pose a threat to the goalkeeper.

Because the ball is slippery and easy to slip out of your hand.

Lloris's vision was obscured by the rain, slowing his save by a fraction of a second. Just as his heart sank, he didn't hear the sound of the ball hitting the net.

"Could that shot hit a plane?" Qin Ming overlooked the fact that the rain would also cause problems for his shots.

He thought to himself that he needed to increase training sessions on rainy days, and quickly returned to his position without dwelling on his negative emotions.

However, Arsenal fans were unusually excited.

They launched a threatening attack not long after the start, so it seems the players are in good form today. They might even be able to cause a disaster.

They were all disappointed that they failed to score five goals during their last visit to White Hart Lane.

Hopefully, I can make up for it today.

"Tottenham's backfield advance is very fast. Alli received the ball and dribbled past Sanchez. His footwork is quite good!"

"Find Eriksen on the left!"

"Wow! Debussy is that fierce, he just knocked someone over?!"

Since joining Arsenal in 2014, the Frenchman has been plagued by injuries, including to his ankle and shoulder, and only recovered this April.

Who knew that Bellerin had already taken the starting position?

He naturally wanted to perform well and regain Wenger's trust.

Referee Oliver approached and said, "Don't make such exaggerated movements, or next time it won't just be a warning!"

He is the blind man among the four blind men in the Premier League.

His standard for enforcement is: balanced sentencing, fifty-fifty, and harmonious.

He is well-suited to officiating the North London derby.

The original referee was Mike Dean, but he was known as the "North London Sniper" because he was biased towards Tottenham.

Arsenal fans kept complaining, which finally led the FA to remove him from the team.

Debuchy's foul ignited the fuse.

The match became increasingly heated, with both sides making more and more exaggerated movements.

Bang! When Monreal made a through pass along the sideline, and the ball was just picked up by Qin Ming, Kyle Walker rushed towards the player instead of the ball.

The sound of muscles colliding was dull.

Qin Ming was caught off guard and knocked out of bounds, but luckily he managed to stop by grabbing onto an advertising board.

"Damn it!" He wiped the rain off his face, glanced coldly at Kyle Walker, and then looked at the referee.

really.

Debuchy's actions just now didn't warrant a card, so it's even less likely he'll get one this time.

He didn't put any pressure on Oliver with words.

I'll find a place for myself later. My iron elbow has rusted a bit from not using it in so long.

The game reached the 20th minute.

The total number of fouls committed by both sides has reached 8.

Finally, when Danny Rose made a dangerous tackle that nearly hit Sanchez's ankle, Oliver pulled a yellow card from his pocket.

"Everyone, control your emotions!"

Oliver warned seriously.

However, neither side of the team took it to heart and continued to do what they were doing.

"Today's North London derby is going to be even more intense!"

"The game has gone through 30 minutes and there hasn't been a single goal yet!"

"The number of shots on goal was pitifully small; both sides were just clashing in midfield, frantically fighting for possession!"

"But the pace of offense and defense is so fast that it won't get boring!"

"The rain at Emirates Stadium is getting lighter and should stop soon!"
