Football: The Hand that Covers the Sky - Chapter 415
After easily winning Newcastle United, Arsenal ushered in their fourth victory since the start of the season. In the first four rounds, only two teams in the Premier League maintained their victory.
The first team is naturally the defending champion Arsenal, who scored 8 goals and conceded 0 goals in the four rounds of the league.
The other is Manchester City. Manchester City was a bit fierce at the beginning, scoring 10 goals in the four rounds of the league and conceding 0 goals like Arsenal.
There are naturally disappointing performances. For example, last season’s second Chelsea in the league, the first four rounds dominated Chelsea only got 4 points.
In addition to Chelsea, there is Liverpool. Liverpool performed well in the first two rounds, but after losing to Arsenal, Liverpool seemed to suddenly lose their way of winning.
Although only four rounds have been played in the season, the situation of Chelsea and Liverpool is difficult to accept, especially for Liverpool. Liverpool has spent a lot of money this season, so there is not much time left for Rogers.
But this has nothing to do with Arsenal. After the first round, Arsenal wants to fight Liverpool again until the second half of the season. Arsenal are now paying attention to the Champions League group stage and the sixth round of Chelsea.
After the fourth round of the game came to an end, major European leagues ushered in the international match day, and the players of the international match tasks took a few days off as usual.
Li Shou’s vacation was clearly arranged by Li Jiajia. Two of the three days were spent at work, and the last day was taken as a social worker.
The club will arrange this aspect every season, and even every player has to do it, and Li Shou just happens to have time to let Li Shou go, and Li Shou is now the face of Arsenal.
Li Shou, who returned to the training ground at the end of the holiday, put almost all his energy on free kicks. Training with the youth team is a bit too cruel for the young Arsenal players.
Although Arsenal’s young players are eager to break the goal behind Li Shou to attract Wenger’s attention, the final result is often very different from what they imagined.
“Lee, take a moment, wait for the youth team coach to find me again.” Every time the youth team players are transferred up, they will be very excited, but when they go back, they will be shocked and doubt their lives. At that time, the youth team head coach ran to Wenger to complain.
“I’m training their minds. If they can’t bear even this small setback, then they may not be able to stand on the real professional arena in the future.” Li Shou is well-founded, what else can Wenger say.
Li Shou abused the youth team, but Arsenal received a very bad news from the national team. Welbeck was seriously injured.
Wenger, who learned the news, directly exploded, because according to the feedback from the national team, Welbeck needed at least four to five months of training for this injury.
There are only two real strikers at Arsenal, Giroud and Welbeck, and now Wilbek is injured, which means that only Giroud is left at Arsenal.
From April to May, there was only one striker. This is not too sad for Arsenal. The media that heard the news immediately mocked Arsenal boss Kroenke.
The Arsenal boss is now not only the enemy of the fans, but also the object of media ridicule. After all, Arsenal is a Premier League team, and Kroenke is an American.
The British never look at the Americans. What’s more, Kroenke has always used Arsenal as a money-making tool. England does not exclude foreign investment because they know that foreign capital makes the Premier League better, but this definitely does not include Kroen. Grams.
Scolding, but none of this affects Kroenke’s money, and now even if Kroenke is willing to take money out of Arsenal, they can’t buy people, because the transfer market has long been closed.
In other words, Arsenal can only explore internally, otherwise they can only rely on Giroud to support Griezmann to hold on to the winter transfer, but strictly speaking, Arsenal still has other strikers, such as Campbell.
Campbell is somewhat similar to Welbeck. Both wingers and centers can play, but the strength is average. Last season, Villarreal played 16 times on loan and only scored 1 goal.
What has happened can no longer be changed. Wenger can only change the starting line. Originally Wenger was to start Welbeck in the next round of the league, but since Welbeck has been injured, he can only change.
Griezmann once again acted as a single forward, and then Sanchez and Walcott on both sides, midfielder Koculine, Ramsey and Cazorla unchanged, the defense Koscielny replaced Chambers.
Chambers did not perform well in the last game. Newcastle United made several mistakes in the face of 10 people. Fortunately, Li Shou was as focused as before, and the other positions remained unchanged.
Arsenal’s opponent in this round is Stoke City. At the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal have never lost to Stoke City, so Arsenal will take the initiative again at the beginning of the game.
This season’s Arsenal played a lot more initiative than last season. Thanks to last season’s triple crown, Arsenal players’ confidence has improved a lot, and even their personal abilities have improved.
In the face of Arsenal’s strong attack, Stoke City did not hesitate, and directly retreated to the defense. Facing Stoke City’s dense defense, Arsenal did not reach a deadlock.
Unable to break through the opponent’s goal, Arsenal began to slow down and try to pull Stoke City out, not to mention, it really worked.
At the 33rd minute ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Stoke City broke into Arsenal’s penalty area. This season, Saqili, who was transferred from Inter Milan, made a cross from the sidewalk. Spain center Jose Lue squeezed Pauli in the penalty area Stark jumped up and prepared for a header.
But in the end Joselu did not touch the ball, because someone jumped higher than him and completed the clearance before the ball fell on top of his head. Arsenal’s quick counterattack.
Li Shou’s clearance ball came to Cazorla’s feet, the latter immediately sent a long pass, the little tiger Walcott fully fired, caught up with the ball, and then went straight into the Stoke City penalty area.
“Single-handed ~~~ Arsenal’s great opportunity, Walcott’s great opportunity” Walcott wasted a lot of opportunities in the last game, otherwise the game will definitely not be 2:0.
“GOOOOOOOOOL~~~The goal is scored~~~Walcott~~The first record, he did not continue the bad state of the last game.” Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Walcott calmly pushed the far corner and scored.
“Arsenal opened the door to victory, Stoke City will become very difficult next.” If Stoke City does not want to accept this score, it must be attacked, but if it is really scored, this is a lesson for conceding a goal. , But if you don’t attack, the score is now behind, and there is no point in defending.
