Chapter 64: London Battle
Prince Harry and his wife walked into the stadium among the Arsenal fans. They were terrified all the way, afraid of being recognized.
Although the royal family has been friendly to the people, this kind of activity without reporting is not allowed.
But looking at Prince Harry, he seemed to enjoy this feeling.
He tried his best to cover himself, but his eyes were excited and kept looking around.
Prince Harry had fantasized more than once that he could appear in the stands like an ordinary person, cheer for the home team with the fans, and scold the hostile fans together.
And now, he is finally going to realize it.
As soon as he walked into the stadium, Prince Harry felt a heat wave coming.
Looking around, there was a blue ocean. Looking around, except for a few areas, there were enemies everywhere. This feeling made people feel a little breathless.
It was the first time that Prince Harry felt this range, and he was stunned.
"Is this the away game?" Prince Harry murmured.
Princess Meghan also frowned and said, "They don't seem friendly."
"Of course, this is Stamford Bridge, Chelsea people will not welcome us!"
Someone came over and said.
The two looked over and found that the other person was a middle-aged man wearing Arsenal fans and carrying a flag.
The man patted the team badge on his chest and said, "Don't be afraid! This is our territory. Although we are few in number, we must convey our voice to the players on the field and tell them that we are always here."
Hearing this, Prince Harry's eyes lit up and said, "Any slogans?"
"Hey!"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You will know when the time comes!"
After speaking, the middle-aged man walked to the forefront of the away field, untied the rope wrapped around the flag, and with a swish, the flag flew in the wind.
As the flag swayed, the loud Arsenal team song began to sound.
Although the spread was limited, Prince Harry still felt goose bumps.
His body told him that he liked this feeling!
"Let's go! Let's go too!"
Prince Harry pulled the princess to take a seat, and then squeezed into the crowd and sang loudly.
Prince Harry was familiar with the Arsenal team song.
He had sung it in a low voice countless times, and this was the first time he sang it loudly.
After singing it once, the scene suddenly became quiet.
The voice of the live commentary also came at any time.
"This is the 2014-2015 season"
Prince Harry looked left and right curiously, and found that one Arsenal fan after another was looking forward with a focused look, or more accurately, in the direction of the player's tunnel.
He also looked in the direction of his gaze.
I saw that the players from both sides had begun to walk out.
After the Chelsea players appeared, the thunderous cheers of the Chelsea fans at the scene drowned the entire stadium.
Listening to this huge wave of sound, Prince Harry felt his whole body trembling.
However, he also noticed that an Arsenal fan was still looking forward, and their eyes changed to another place. Are they looking at Kai?
Prince Harry looked at the Arsenal players who were walking out of the player's tunnel.
Lekai stood at the front, his chest held high, his steps steady, as if he was not affected at all.
Suddenly, Lekai moved.
He slowly raised his left arm with the captain's armband.
At this moment, a huge voice suddenly came into his ears.
Go forward! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——
The violent sound was like thunder.
Prince Harry was shocked and subconsciously shouted.
Arsenal! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——
This roar appeared very suddenly, but it actually dispelled the noise made by Chelsea fans and formed a short gap.
Prince Harry was so excited when he heard it.
He felt that at this moment, he was fully integrated into the game and the square of Arsenal fans.
At the same time, Prince Harry looked at Lucky with a fiery look.
"My friend, so damn cool!"
In the game, Lucky and Terry, the two captains, guessed the side.
"Heads!"
"Tails!"
The coin fell to the ground, and it was tails.
Lucky clenched his fist slightly.
Terry smiled and pointed at the ball and said, "We want the ball."
Lucky asked for the right side of the court.
Finally, the two shook hands with the three referees and the captains respectively, and went to their respective half to prepare for the game.
The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:
Chelsea (4-2-3-1):
Goalkeeper: Courtois.
Defenders: Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta.
Midfielders: Schurrle, Fabregas, Oscar, Matic, Hazard.
Forward: Costa.
Arsenal (4-1-4-1):
Goalkeeper: Navas.
Defenders: Sagna, Mertesacker, Ferdinand, Gibbs.
Midfielders: Sanchez, Cazorla, Wilshere, Di Maria, Lukay.
Forward: Suarez.
"Chelsea's lineup has not changed much, while Arsenal has made major changes. Ferdinand + Mertesacker replaced Koscielny and Mustafi's central defender combination in the back line. Obviously, compared with the latter, this central defender combination has more confrontation awareness and high-altitude combat capabilities, which is also an option to limit Costa."
"With four attacking midfielders and a single defensive midfielder, Wenger puts pressure on Kai. Once Kai plays well as a defensive organizing point, Arsenal can keep trying to attack like a perpetual motion machine."
"Of course, only Arsenal dares to use a single defensive midfielder lineup in the entire Premier League. After all, this is a very severe test of the defensive midfielder's ability. If there is no defensive midfielder like Kai in the team, then this lineup should never be tried!"
In the commentary of commentator Andy Gray, Chelsea took the lead in kicking the ball.
The game also started.
Chelsea did not rush to attack, but kept testing the backcourt. Arsenal did not go too deep or use their high-pressure tactics.
Instead, they deployed a large number of players in the middle circle to prevent the opponent from suddenly changing the rhythm.
Le Kai stood at the front of the back line, observing the opponent's movements in an open field of vision.
Chelsea played very patiently, constantly testing the backcourt, and Arsenal was also cautious in marking.
At this moment, Fabregas passed the ball to Oscar.
Oscar suddenly passed the ball diagonally to Schurrle. If the ball was passed, it would be a quick pass, but the ball failed to pass.
Lucky suddenly rushed out and hooked the ball with one foot to complete the interception.
Oscar was so angry when he saw this scene.
Why was he intercepted by Lucky again?
What he least wanted was to be compared with Lucky.
Schurrle saw the ball and wanted to press, but Lucky passed it directly to Cazorla and directed everyone to move forward.
Arsenal's lineup strength is in the midfield. It can be said that as long as the midfield pushes forward, the lineup advantage still exists.
As for defense, Lucky is rooted in the position of the back midfielder to help limit it, which is not a big problem.
And the Arsenal players are also very clear about this, so they play particularly freely.
Based on the trust in Lucky, it can be said that they have no worries.
In this case, Arsenal's interlaced running rhythm also rose.
But Arsenal still played a little greedy.
They were too greedy for the ball.
Ivanovic made a steal and made a long pass to Schürrle.
Schürrle was rushing to the landing point, and Ferdinand on the back line was staring at the ball. If it was Manchester United, he would press forward, but in Arsenal
the two encountered a confrontation in the air.
Schürrle groaned and couldn't resist, while Lucky leaned back to face the ball and passed the ball to Ferdinand.
Ferdinand easily unloaded the ball, and couldn't help but secretly praised Lucky's pass and timely scramble.
It has to be said that having such a midfielder in front to protect is simply a blessing for every central defender.
After the opening, both teams made a wonderful defensive counterattack.
This also made the atmosphere on the scene gradually rise.
The defensive capabilities of both sides have been tested.
It has to be said that both sides have worked hard on the defensive end.
Now we can only see which side's offense will show results faster.
