d (Welcome to the Midfield Master Book Friends Exchange Group: 532028645)
The league between Everton and Arsenal is imminent. Both teams have made full preparations before the game. This game is determined to win. Both sides have performed well in the recent league, and Arsenal's strength is obviously stronger than Everton.
But Everton is playing at home, and Arsenal has a two-line battle in the Champions League, so Everton, who is sitting at Goodison Park Stadium, is not without a chance.
Xia Ze, who came off the bench in the FA Cup in the middle of the week, will naturally return to the starting lineup in this game, and the double midfielder behind him is still the combination of Barry and Gibson.
Sitting in the locker room, Xia Ze lowered his head and fiddled with his shoelaces. There was a blue jersey number 20 hanging on the wardrobe door behind him, which was his number in Everton.
Next to the No. 20 jersey is the No. 4 jersey, which is Gibson's number. Along the way, more than a dozen jerseys were hung in front of the wardrobes of each player's seat, and some of them had already been taken down.
There was no pre-match warm-up at this time, so Martinez did not speak, there was only a rustling sound in the locker room, and the Everton players were sorting out their equipment.
Xia Ze felt that the surrounding atmosphere was not right. In the previous few games, the whole team was talking and laughing during the warm-up before the game, but this time it was a little depressed, which surprised him.
He knew that this match against Arsenal was a very important match, and he couldn't help being a little nervous because of the emotions of his teammates around him.
But after a little tightness in my heart, I felt a wave of heat rushing to my chest, and I was very excited. His inner nervousness was replaced by excitement and anticipation about playing against the Arsenal players.
In a slightly depressing atmosphere, Xia Ze and his teammates appeared in the center of the court to warm up before the game.
When they came to the stadium, they found that the Arsenal players had already warmed up in an orderly manner.
Ozil, Ramsey, Cazorla, Walcott, Wilshere... the stars who could only be seen on TV in the past are now only half a field away from Xia Ze.
Thinking that he would be competing with them in the same arena in more than half an hour, he couldn't help being excited, and the frequency of warming up was even faster.
In the surrounding stands, fans from both sides have gradually filled up the blue seats. There is not much time before the start of the game, and fans who have not entered the stadium have also entered the stadium one after another.
Fans sitting in the stands on the first floor close to the pitch,
Leaning in front of the billboard, taking pictures of the warming-up players.
After more than 20 minutes, the warm-up was over, and the players from both sides entered the locker room profusely to change their clothes, ready to officially start the game.
After they left, the stadium staff seized the last time to water the turf so that the humidity of the turf reached the optimum humidity for the ball to run.
"This game is very critical for us. Although Arsenal is a strong opponent, we must beat them at home if we want to enter the European arena next season and even the Champions League!" Martinez stood on the tactical board In front of him, he was doing the final pre-match mobilization.
"In this game, I need you to show your true colors and play tougher! Don't give them too much space to pass the ball, beat them with the most manly way of playing!"
After a few words of encouragement, Martinez stepped aside, and the assistant coach came up to tell everyone about the execution of specific tactics.
In this tactical arrangement that has been practiced for nearly a week, Xia Ze felt that it was different from the previous matches against other Premier League teams.
When fighting other mid-lower teams, with Everton's midfield staffing, they can try more ground coordination and destroy opponents with smooth offense.
However, Arsenal is a famous team in the Premier League with excellent ground coordination and delicate skills. Compared with their emphasis on passing and receiving the ball at their feet, Everton must be at a disadvantage.
So the coaching staff headed by Martinez made tougher tactical arrangements for the team a week before the game, requiring players to fight more fiercely, transfer more long passes, and play less ground penetration.
After coming to Everton, Xia Ze felt the gap between the Premier League team and Maritimo.
In Everton, every game will have a targeted tactical arrangement, and it is quite delicate, which Maritimo cannot do.
This is even more so in the face of the Gunners Arsenal challenge. The targeted arrangement of the game is two or three times more than the previous game with Aston Villa, which also shows the gap between Arsenal and Villa in terms of strength.
At this time, Arsenal's lineup has come out, and Everton's assistant coach mainly analyzes the weaknesses of the opponent's lineup, so that the players can cope better.
In fact, this list is almost the same as what Martinez and the others speculated before the game, so Xia Ze and the others quickly learned about the coach's tactical arrangement.
Xia Ze followed behind his teammates, led by the referee, and walked out of the pitch side by side with Arsenal players, greeted by cheers from the home fans.
This game is highly anticipated, especially the contest between Xia Ze and Ozil's two midfield cores of their respective teams, which is considered to determine the outcome of this game.
Especially for Arsenal, the absence of Sanchez, who has performed particularly well this season, has made Ozil's core position even more prominent.
With Everton's schedule and home court advantages, although it is not as strong as Arsenal, it still has the strength to fight.
After shaking hands with the Arsenal players, Xia Ze listened to the singing of the surrounding fans and looked at the stars in the opposite Arsenal team who cost tens of millions of pounds.
Beep——
The referee gave a long whistle and the game started.
Arsenal wore red shirts and white shorts, while Everton wore blue shirts and white shorts. After the whistle sounded, the players on both sides immediately disrupted, and the attack line led by Lukaku immediately approached the opponent's defense line.
Arsenal did not rush to attack after the kick-off, but hoped to tear apart Everton's defense through a pass from the midfielder.
Although the Everton midfielders headed by Xia Ze were active in the press after the opening, they still did not look good enough in front of the smooth cooperation of the Arsenal players.
The Arsenal midfielder is composed of Ozil, Cazorla, Ramsey, Wilshere, and Flamini. The cooperation between them is quite tacit, and the kicks are quick, and Xia Ze and the others are not at all robbed. space.
Ozil is already the world's top attacking midfielder. After Ramsey's sublimation last season, he still performed well this season, and his worth has exceeded 30 million pounds.
Coupled with Cazorla, Wilshere and Flamini, Everton's midfield can't take advantage of any advantages.
Even the always weak defense line has made a lot of supplements this season, but they are still habitually falling behind at the beginning of the new year, making them lose hope of winning the championship, and even the Champions League seats are at risk.
But as soon as March, they started the point-grabbing mode, and once again restored their true colors of "fighting for four crazy monsters".
Therefore, although the Everton players are also full of morale, facing Arsenal, which is stronger and more controlled in the midfield, they still fell behind in the opening stage.
