Chapter 507 They want to beat Arsenal!

Author: Ant who watches football ruthlessly

After defeating Millwall, while winning three consecutive games, York City also consolidated its lead in the standings.

So the Scunthorpe team, which has been chasing York City closely, has fallen behind.

They have lost consecutive games against Bolton and Sheffield United in recent rounds, and have even dropped to fourth place in the standings!

York City currently ranks first with 16 wins, 8 draws and 1 loss with 56 points, while Sheffield United ranks second with 16 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses with 53 points, followed by Bolton with 50 points and Scunthorpe with 49 points.

point.

English League One is like that. If I’m not careful, I’ll lose everything!

And Pan Yi also saw the momentum of York City's east slide, and introduced Alonso in time, which not only strengthened the strength but also stabilized the morale of the army, and finally was not really killed.

Fortunately, January happened to be entering, the winter window also opened, and Pan Yi took action in advance, so he was able to deal with Alonso so quickly.

Then, Pan Yi had more ideas when he missed Donglai's FA Cup third round match against Arsenal...

After the team started heading to London, Pan Yi stopped by the Chelsea Club to visit Arteta and chat with him.

A few days ago, Chelsea just lost 0:2 to Tottenham Hotspur, finally ending their 13-game winning streak.

But even so, Chelsea continues to lead the Premier League standings, and is 5 points higher than second-placed Liverpool.

Therefore, Pan Yi did not talk too much about tactics to Arteta. He just chatted with good friends and reminisced about old times.

Since he can lead the team to a 13-game winning streak, it means that he now has a methodology for defeating enemies from all walks of life;

And the current defeat to Tottenham is because his methodology has encountered setbacks in practice-sometimes the reason is simple, because Pochettino made a mistake, and Arteta did not notice or respond in time.

You must continue to improve amidst setbacks in order to make further progress!

Pan Yi believes that Arteta has the ability to study and solve such setbacks, and only then can he break through his own bottleneck and reach a new level!

Pan Yi then returned to York City's temporary training ground in London and watched player training with Scaloni.

For York City now, if they play against a strong team like Arsenal, there is almost no suspense in the lineup.

The strongest eleven are already in the formation!

The only variables are no formation, no kick, -1, no no.

There is nothing I can do about it. After all, York City is not a big club and does not have a strong lineup. When I want to fight with the wrong team, I can use all the main players.

"Do I really want to kill Arsenal and continue to advance in the FA Cup?" Scaloni suddenly asked Pan Yi.

Pan Yi laughed: "I don't want to?"

Scaloni smiled too.

No, who wouldn't want to?

Is that a good thing that can serve multiple purposes?

No matter how well I play in English League One, the attention I receive will be limited.

Is it just like Porter leading a Swedish team, no matter how good the team is, no one can notice it, but if he beats Arsenal once in the Europa League, he will be known immediately.

Is this also the case in York City now?

If we can defeat Arsenal in the FA Cup, will the team's reputation be greatly improved?

Before they heard about York City, it was because their boss was Pan Yi;

And if that team is likely to beat Arsenal, then everyone will look at them differently: "It turns out they are really such a strong team!"

This will also attract the attention of more players, and it will be less difficult for Pan Yi to find people in the future.

At the same time, the commercial value of York City will continue to rise, and Director Horta will be able to use his commercial talents in the market.

——It’s a bit like when “Deadpool” took over Wrexham later, everyone paid attention to it because of the boss. Only when Wrexham really shows its strength, everyone will pay more attention to its strength itself.

And for Scaloni, this is the best moment to prove his ability!

Defeating the world-famous coach Wenger is really a perfect proof of strength!

"Actually, there is no cocoa." Pan Yi said, "Arsenal's situation in the Premier League is not very good. Although Wenger attaches great importance to the FA Cup, he should have reservations. After all, they can't always

It’s a League One team!”

Scaloni nodded.

In the current Premier League standings, the BIG6 are entangled, while Arsenal is ranked fifth.

Although there is only one point behind Manchester City and Tottenham in front of them, it is obvious that it has now reached a critical moment for the fourth place.

Especially after the FA Cup, Arsenal is looking forward to another London derby, an away game to challenge Chelsea at the top of the list!

In that case, with Wenger's "guaranteing four first" thinking guiding the club, they are bound to make a certain degree of aggression in the FA Cup.

Then, York City will have a chance.

After all, although Arsenal is strong, their bench is mediocre.

"He did not recommend playing, focusing on defense and waiting for opportunities to counterattack." Pan Yi said, "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Wenger is on the bench, he is stronger than them."

"Does he feel that way?" Scaloni nodded. "He will convene a small meeting with the players later and talk about some relevant points. Can I please do some pre-match mobilization or something?"

"Haha, that's necessary." Pan Yi laughed, "He begged them to know that their boss was not prepared to give up that game, so no one was allowed to give up that game!"

Scaloni listened and immediately started laughing too.

——

In the hotel conference room, all the players were silent, they were all looking at their boss.

Scaloni has just talked about all the tactics that need to be mentioned, and now it is Pan Yi's turn to speak.

"In those days, everyone he met from Yorkshire to London told him that he didn't need to play against Arsenal in the FA Cup and could just give up."

Pan Yi was very direct when he opened his mouth: "He doesn't even think about it. How can they, a English League One team, beat Arsenal? It's not embarrassing to lose anyway, so just lose."

With that said, Pan Yi stopped and looked at the players.

Those young guys didn't shut up, but there was a hint of anger in their eyes.

"No, they must not admit defeat in any game!" At that time, vice-captain Westman stood up, "If admitting defeat becomes a habit, they will never be able to become a truly strong team in the future!"

Pan Yi nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that placing a "drag" among the players is not very important.

"Well, in fact, everyone who knows him knows that the word 'admit defeat' has never been in his dictionary, even if he fails to face Arsenal."

"People all over the world think they will lose, so they just want to show them a good game!"

"In the FA Cup, anything can happen. In the 2012-2013 season, Luton, who was in the fifth tier at the time, defeated the Premier League team Norwich 1:0. Luton became the first team in the Premier League era.

Amateur teams knocking out Premier League teams.”

"In the 2003-04 season, Shrewsbury, who were in the fourth tier, defeated Everton 2:1, causing the biggest upset in the FA Cup."

"In the third round of the FA Cup in the 1990-91 season, Woking, who were in the fifth tier at the time, eliminated West Brom in the top league with a score of 4:2..."

"There are many teams like that. So, as a team ranked first in the third level, can they really not beat Arsenal?"

With that said, Pan Yi spread his legs and asked all the players in front of him.

Everyone raised their heads and stared at Pan Yi with red eyes.

"No, they can win!" De Ligt was the first to stand up and yell.

"Wrong, they can definitely win!" Alphonso Davis shouted.

"Win! Win! Win!" Thomas Amon also echoed.

At first, all the players in the entire conference room stood up and shouted: "Win!" "Win!" "Win!"

"Well, since we are confident, he is even more confident. Tomorrow, they will play well at the Emirates Stadium and tell everyone that they are against York City. They are afraid of any mistakes! Even if they come from the Premier League's super strong

Team, they can beat them all the same, because they York City are fearless!"

As Pan Yi finished his speech, everyone's blood boiled.

Everyone is looking forward to tomorrow’s game!——

January-July, Emirates Stadium.

Players from Arsenal and York City stood in the aisles, with their heads above the roaring fans' stands and their ears listening to the tsunami-like cheers coming from the stands.

Arsenal's captain Giroud will be on the field tomorrow, and he and York City's captain Westerman stand at the front of the queue.

The two of them were not familiar with each other, so they just held hands and looked forward.

Alonso, standing in the middle of the York City team, was obviously the player that the Arsenal generals were most familiar with, and everyone exchanged greetings with Long.

When the chief referee and the assistant referee took the lead out of the players' tunnel, there was an even louder round of applause and cheers, mixed with boos.

Obviously, part of it is for the home team Arsenal, and the other part is not a "gift" to the visiting team York City.

For this game, a total of nearly 3,000 York City fans came from Yorkshire to support the team.
