EPL is the most popular football league in the world.
Overseas broadcasting rights are ten times higher than that of Germany, and three times more than La Liga in Spain.
This is because of the features of the EPL.
A famous football player who looked around La Liga of Spain, Serie of Italy, EPL of England and all three leagues once said this.
-I realized England's football was very tough. EPL seems to be tougher than any league. Some games play as well as you think, but some games don't play until the end if you start to dry once. That's the hardest thing.
The EPL is known as the Umpiel (Soccer + EPL) because of the high number of games.
Nevertheless, the reason why EPL's games seem to be overwhelming is the constant restless fighting and intense ball fights.
Although the style of play depends on the coach's inclination, many EPL teams use tactics in that way.
And it's a distinctive feature for strong teams with good physical strength.
There are other reasons why EPL is the most popular worldwide.
compete.
EPL's competition is their own distinctive feature.
The most famous derby in the world is arguably El Classico, but in fact the other La Liga derby are relatively unpopular.
That means the level difference between clubs is huge.
EPL, on the other hand, has some of the world's most popular derby matches.
Reds Derby of United-Liverpool.
Manchester Derby for Manchester United-Man City.
Arsenal-Tottenham's North London Derby.
Liverpool-Everton's merger derby.
Competitive composition linked together like a spider's web makes viewers have more fun.
In addition, EPL does not have many easy games.
One manager who came to EPL from Italy said:
-EPL is hard because there is no one to take a rest.
That was the most prominent feature on the English stage.
You can't even easily predict who will be in the top four by the end of the season.
A few years ago, "Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool" ruled as Big4, but that tradition has long since disappeared.
Man City and Tottenham came here, and the Spring and Autumn National Day was taking place.
This season, it was so.
<1> Manchester United 16 Win 5 Draw 3 Loss 53 Win 43 Points 21 Run
<2> Chelsea 16 Win 2 Draw 6 Lose 50 Win 38 38 Run 18
<3> Arsenal 13 Win 7 Draw 4 Lose 46 Win 40 Score 27 Run
<4> Manchester City 12 Win 7 Draw 5 Lose 43 Wins 36 Runs 22 Runs
.
.
.
<20> West Ham United 3 Win 6 Draw 15 Lose 15 Win 20 Goal 44
In this season, the gap between the top and bottom is more severe than usual.
In particular, the top four did not have an animal kingdom.
Manchester United are in first place, but Chelsea haven't been chased.
In addition, Man City was threatening to record three consecutive victories.
Arsenal in the meantime was a big burden.
In this situation, Arsenal's manager had a lot of trouble ahead of the game against Man City.
Wenger ball tactic founder and the greatest virtue of all time, making Arsenal the best club in the history of winning the EPL undefeated championship.
One of the longest directors representing EPL, along with Ferguson.
Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal soul.
But he has been on a decline path since achieving his undefeated championship.
I have never lifted a championship cup since 2005.
That's why he was stigmatized as the king of unrelated.
Moreover, the contract term was scheduled to expire at the end of this season, so this season, I had to lift the cup.
'You must win.'
Given the recent rise in the city, it will not be easy.
In particular, since it was the first match against Woo Ho-young, it was a heavy burden for veteran Wenger.
That's why I've been thinking about it for the past two weeks.
How can we prevent Woo-young?
Of course, it might have been meaningless.
In fact, some of the staff had asked me to prepare for the next game.
It was natural to see that Tottenham was defeated by Woo Young.
Rather than tactics, it might have been more effective to plan how to split his legs.
Wenger's idea was a bit different.
'Man City is still loose.'
In his opinion, Man City was an unfinished team.
There was a lot of laxity, and I thought I could win well if I aimed at it.
Woo-young is a phenomenal player who can produce results on his own, but Man City couldn't do anything if he couldn't.
Had to use that essence.
And after endless thoughts and studies, I was able to create a strategy that looked pretty good.
That's why some players were called to the manager's office today.
Wenger spoke in a hoarding voice.
"The next game's keyword is" compression. "
"Yes?"
"······."
There was a chilly atmosphere in the director's office.
The players looked incredible.
Do you speak strong press football against Manchester City where you are Woo-young?
A passing dog was also shook his head.
Captain Cesc Fabregas replied.
"I wouldn't say that you did not know Woo Young's decompression power."
"Of course it is."
"But why did you say strong pressure?"
"I never mentioned strong pressure."
Wenger is not an idiot.
No matter how skillful he was, he was a tactician who had a stroke in football.
"The pressure I'm talking about here is not the pressure on our side but the" irregular "pressure on the other side. As soon as the ball goes over to the opponent, four or five people will move together to win the ball. "
"But that's a big risk?"
"Of course you will. But what we're going to show is not just pressure. "
"of course?"
"I'm making a mess. It's like a spider's web, making your opponents as wild as possible to get them stuck. "
"Spiders."
You can't catch Wooyoung without risk.
Arsene Wenger thought it was the only way to catch him.
The morning of the match.
Etihad's private plane carrying Manchester City squads headed for London.
The journey takes about an hour.
The athletes who arrived early in the morning headed to the hotel with a grand welcome from the airport.
Although London and Manchester were almost opposite geographically, numerous citizens came along to greet the players.
They called the players cheering medleys, including Ronaldinho and David Silva's new cheerleaders.
"Jenyu, I already have fans."
"There are probably fans that I created to support you."
It was Ho Young and Ronaldinho who became friendly after the confrontation of the day.
The two used to stick around and talk about soccer without a break, but going to the hotel was no exception.
"Wenger is a beautiful football manager. Highly likely to use aggressive football. Perhaps he will use Shamak as a one-top and narrow the gap between the midfield and the defensive team to carry out infinite attack tactics. "
"But at times like this, there are cases where defense is more important than attack?"
"Then good for us. No matter how your opponent walks and locks, you only have to find an attacking bow. "
"I envy your confidence."
"Then remember only this. There's no perfect player, no tactics in the world. And watch the ball. So no matter how invisible the road will be. "
"Watch the ball?"
"Is it still a little difficult? How many years have you been a professional?
"Five years."
"Then you will soon find out. What my words mean. "
I couldn't understand it, but Ho-young carved the words deeply.
As Kakana Zidane's advice did, Genuine's words will someday become bone and flesh.
4 pm.
Manchester City's team bus enters Emirates Stadium in Islington, North London.
At the time, Arsenal's interview was in the press conference room.
As the ranking could be reversed, attention was more focused than ever.
A reporter stared at Wenger.
"It's a game that attracts a lot of soccer fans. If you don't win this game, you're virtually out of the competition. "
"So?"
"Well, well. Then Arsenal will have seven years of irrelevance. Of course I am one of Arsenal's fans. But I can't imagine a big club that I can't lift any championship for seven years. There must be a problem. Didn't Tottenham lift the championship in the League Cup two years ago? "
Wenger shook his impression at the reporter's sharp words.
The atmosphere in the intestines quickly became harsh.
Wenger can't hide his anger because the reporter said it was a fact.
"Why do you say that here? This is a press conference ahead of the game against Man City. "
He began to set up a confrontation with the press, with an uncomfortable look.
He was known as a very generous and kind manager for his players, but he was never kind to journalists.
"Whatever we say we will always win. We already have a plan, and now we just have to watch what will happen in the future. Leave it there. "
His football is not a trophy, but the most complete and ideal football.
But this time it was different.
The goal is to win and win only.
He has thrown away the traditional philosophy of football, focusing on "process," and has prepared tactics for results only.
I was so confident.
Captain Fabregas stepped up and helped Wenger.
"I'm sure. In today's game, we can show everything we have. We will deal with them with the best strategy and the best colleagues. Here in our home. "
Cesc Fabregas.
Joining Arsenal eight years ago, he was scheduled to leave for Barcelona as soon as the next season began.
And before that, I wanted to fulfill my desire.
So today, I decided to squeeze all the power I had into the game.
Emirates Stadium is the second-largest Emirates stadium at EPL.
More than 60,000 spectators filled the stands and both teams entered side by side.
[Manchester City came out with their 4-2-3-1 formation as usual. We put Tevez on one top and Hovenue and Sean Wright-Phillips on left and right wings. Woo Ho-young was used in the attacking midfielder.]
Contrary to expectations, David Silva didn't play. It's still less physically recovered.]
Arsenal, who have built a 4-1-2-3 formation, are aggressively positioned by placing Fabregas and Nasri in the attacking midfielder.
The three-top forward consisted of Arshavin-Shamak-Walcott.
It was a formation to fill the void of Van Persie who was injured.
And.
Beep!
As the game started, Arsenal's attackers ran forward.
Custom tactics for Woo Ho Young were about to unfold.
