Chapter 80 Erickson's Challenge

Usmanov is a practical man. He quickly discussed with the finance department and raised the players' salaries. Google search reading

This salary adjustment is mainly to smooth out some salary gaps, especially the salary gap between the main players should not be too large, which is conducive to the cohesion of the team.

In other words, the higher the salary, the smaller the adjustment.

For example, Suarez's weekly salary of 250,000 pounds was adjusted to 260,000 pounds, while Sagna's salary came to 160,000 pounds.

The salary of the entire back line is floating between 150,000 and 170,000 pounds!

In the entire team, Suarez has the highest salary, in fact, Cazorla and Luka.

Both of them are 190,000 pounds!

The lowest substitute in the first team also has a salary of nearly 100,000 pounds.

The entire salary adjustment requires a new contract. For such a good thing, the players are naturally very positive.

And Wenger did not take credit at all. He explained to everyone that the reason for the salary adjustment was because of Luka.

This is conducive to further improving Luka's status in the locker room!

As expected, after this wave of salary adjustments, Lucky's prestige in the Arsenal dressing room has reached the top.

Just imagine, who can not love a captain who can bring you honor and money?

Although Lucky is younger, it does not prevent him from becoming the leader of Arsenal.

Because he has helped the players get better treatment in many ways, and also made them more convinced of themselves.

Of course, the salary adjustment is not for everyone, but for those Arsenal needs.

For example, captain Vermaelen is not included. After all, it is a fact that he will transfer in the summer window.

And from the current situation, Vermaelen's departure will not be a big problem.

Although Vermaelen is the first captain of Arsenal, his reputation is far less than Lucky.

Lucky has completely replaced Vermaelen's position, and now only a title is missing.

After receiving more rewards, Arsenal's internal training enthusiasm has also become higher.

Soon, they ushered in the 30th round of the league.

It's another North London derby, Arsenal is visiting White Hart Lane, they will play against Tottenham Hotspur!

In the current standings, Tottenham Hotspur is in sixth place in the league with 54 points.

It can be said that with eight rounds left in the league, it is extremely difficult for Tottenham Hotspur to compete for the Champions League zone.

After all, they are eight points behind Manchester City, which is in fourth place.

And Tottenham Hotspur's current state is not very good, more than enough to defend, but not enough to open up.

In this case, forcibly raising the goal will only lead to worse results.

But they want to win this game!

Even if they can't impact the Champions League zone, they don't want to see Arsenal win the Premier League championship.

For this reason, Tottenham Hotspur fans shouted the slogan "Stop Arsenal".

But the situation of the game made them feel extremely disappointed.

Bang! !

Tottenham kicked out.

Eriksson was rushing towards the landing point of the ball.

Suddenly, he was knocked out by a figure.

Eriksson stumbled two steps after being hit by Lucky, but he quickly adjusted and wanted to continue to fight for the ball.

The ball bounced off the ground, and just as Eriksson was about to rush over, Lucky again inserted himself between the player and the ball, and no matter how Eriksson pushed, he could not shake Lucky.

It was not until Lucky passed the ball to Cazorla that Eriksson shook his head in indignation.

This is his first season in the Premier League.

He failed to get a chance to play in the last round of the North London Derby, but with his performance, he won the trust of the coaching staff.

However, Eriksson, who had just arrived in the Premier League, seemed a little uncomfortable.

In other words, facing a stealing machine like Lucky, he had no idea how to play.

The confusion of the Tottenham midfielder's brain will radiate to the whole court.

In Lucky's repeated steals and passes, Arsenal's organization and offense are proceeding in an orderly manner.

At this time, Arsenal showed what discipline, stability and tactical execution are.

When 11 players on the field gathered together and poured firepower on Tottenham, Bai Baihe was doomed to be unable to resist!

Swish! ! !

The ball flew into the Tottenham goal. At this time, the game time came to 23 minutes and Arsenal scored the first goal.

Cazorla scored this goal.

Facing the crazy boos of the Tottenham fans, Cazorla laughed and celebrated unscrupulously.

He even hooked his hands in front of the stands and provoked the fans.

‘Aren’t you going to stop us from competing for the championship? Come on! Try it? ! ’

Facing Cazorla’s provocation, Tottenham fans responded to him with even more angry boos.

Lekai walked over and patted Cazorla’s head.

If it was any other team, Lekai would stop Cazorla’s provocation, but Tottenham would not care.

After all, emotionally, Arsenal and Tottenham are mortal enemies. Even if Lucky stopped them, they would not be grateful, but would scold Lucky for pretending.

Lucky would not do such a thing!

After the first goal, Arsenal's strangling tactics in the midfield also completely broke down Tottenham's midfield.

Especially when Eriksen faced Lucky, the feeling of being at a loss made the commentator feel distressed.

"This may be the biggest challenge in Eriksen's career. If he doesn't have a strong psychological quality, facing a stealing machine like Kai, there will only be frustration again and again. I hope he can hold on!"

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray shook his head and sighed.

Eriksen performed well in Ajax, which is why Tottenham brought him to White Hart Lane.

But the problem is that the intensity of the Eredivisie and the Premier League is completely different.

There is also a huge difference in the quality of the players.

Eriksen's success in the Eredivisie does not mean that he can play like that in the Premier League.

Especially after coming to the Premier League, Eriksen's strong technical style was suppressed by Lekai's physical confrontation.

"Kai's performance is still as good as ever!" Richard shook his head and sighed; "After the last round of the game against Bayern Munich, Arsenal has achieved great growth, especially their midfield strangulation tactics have put Premier League teams under great pressure."

"Bayern Munich fell under Arsenal's strangulation tactics. I don't think that there is any winger combination in the current Premier League that can exhaust Robben and Ribery!"

As Richard said, when the wing cannot put enough pressure on Luka, Arsenal's defense is impregnable.

Even Luka can take advantage of some opportunities to participate in the offense.

Sometimes it is to instigate the attack, sometimes it is a long pass, and sometimes it is a through ball. There are many offensive routines, which are hard to defend.

And there is also a Cazorla guerrilla around Luka, these are the targets that Tottenham needs to pay attention to.

In the Sina Sports live broadcast room, Zhan Jun also sighed; "Eriksen still can't replace Modric's vacant position. After Bale left, this Tottenham gave people a feeling of twilight, while Arsenal has become somewhat unstoppable!"

Zhang Lu said; "Arsenal's changes come from the defensive midfielder position. The presence of Luka not only stabilizes Arsenal's defense, but his ability to pass the ball also helps speed-type winger Walcott to have a second spring. Suarez has strengthened Arsenal's scoring ability. Although for now, Arsenal's defense still has problems. After leaving Luka, they lack the ability to fight independently, but it is already very good!"

Zhan Jun: "As the British media said, this Arsenal gives people a sense of discipline like an army! They are a whole and win the game in a whole way!"

While the two were talking.

Arsenal has pushed the ball to the vicinity of Tottenham's penalty area.

Every time Arsenal's big attack will make Tottenham tremble with fear.

This time is also the case.

After getting rid of Danny Rose, Cazorla knocked the ball to Suarez.

Suarez moved left and right in the penalty area, but he hesitated too much before shooting, resulting in no chance to shoot.

But even so, Suarez still safely passed the ball out of the penalty area to Walcott on the left wing.

Walcott passed the ball horizontally.

Lukay stepped forward to receive the ball.

He did not rush to pass the ball, but stopped the ball steadily and looked up to observe.

The Tottenham players also looked at Lukay eagerly.

Vertonghen could not help it and wanted to press forward.

But as soon as the opponent came forward, Lukay pulled up his calf, swung slightly, and touched the position below the ball with his toes. This was a lob!

The ball passed over Vertonghen's head and came behind him.

Cazorla immediately moved forward, got rid of Danny Rose again, jumped up in the air to stop the ball with his chest to relieve the force, and after landing, he buckled his left foot.

The ball went straight to the near corner.

Tottenham goalkeeper Lori couldn't even make a save, the ball brushed the goal post and went in.

In the 43rd minute, Arsenal led Tottenham 2:0!
