The home win over South Korea did not give the domestic media much of a climax, and in the eyes of people, this Chinese team is too strong to win. The qualifiers are no longer the goal of the Chinese team, and the World Cup is the stage for the Chinese team.

So five days later, even if the Chinese team was scored a goal by Iran in the away game, the fans and the media were not in a hurry, they felt that China could turn defeat into victory. Sure enough, Zhang Shujie took the lead in equalizing the score for the Chinese team, and then Chen Zihua overtook the score, and finally Zhang Shujie scored twice with a header to help the Chinese team defeat Iran 3:1 away.

With three rounds to go in the round of 12, China's lead is nine points, and only a draw is needed for the remaining three games to qualify. With An Rong's habits, it is estimated that foreign players will not be recruited in these three games, and it is possible that he will let the players who play in China play more games, all for the substitute lineup training.

The day after the game, the players returned to the club. Due to factors such as jet lag, some teams will not train immediately for those players returning from the Americas and Asia, but will let them rest for an extra day to adjust and store their energy.

Zhang Shujie took a day off at home, of course, this rest is not a whole day's sleep, in addition to ensuring adequate sleep, he also has some restorative and simple exercises in the gym, and he also took the time to play "Pro Evolution Soccer" with Wang Shihan, Wang Shihan will naturally not be his opponent, but he will still deliberately lose to his girlfriend.

***********************

On April 1, in the 29th round of the English Premier League, Chelsea hosted Crystal Palace.

Half an hour into the game, the score is currently 1-2, with Chelsea trailing at home. Yes, you read that right, Chelsea, one of the title contenders, are behind Crystal Palace at home.

Eden Hazard set up Cesc Fabregas to take the lead five minutes into the game, and it was thought to be the start of a strong Chelsea goal at the time, but Palace took the lead away from home in just two minutes in the ninth and eleventh minutes through Wilfried Zaha and Benteke respectively.

Chelsea were certainly on the throes and their top scorer Li Mu missed two great chances in a row. Conte also complained off the field, but he couldn't replace Li Mu casually, even though he knew that Li Mu's state was not very good recently.

Since returning from injury, Li Mu has scored just five goals for Chelsea in all competitions, including two in the league, one in the Champions League and one in the FA Cup. In fact, if you can make a statistic of Li Mu's data in the second half, you will find that his data is not bad: two goals in six league games, one goal in two Champions League games, two goals in two cup games, and two assists in total. Considering Li Mu's injury for a month and a half, it is barely passable to be able to kick this data. But why does the media think he is in a bad state?

If you put forward his first-half stats, it becomes clear: 20 goals in 14 league games, 7 goals in 5 Champions League games, 3 goals in 3 domestic cup games, and 11 assists. Because of this, when Li Mu's goal rate is only 05 goals per game, the media will of course think that he is not in good shape - even if he has been injured for a while.

Perhaps for a player like Li Mu, the requirements of the outside world will be relatively high, and the average number of goals per game is less than one, that is, he is not in state.

Chelsea trailed Crystal Palace 2-1 in the first half and Antonio Conte made a substitution at the start of the second half, bringing on Willian for Nemanja Matic in a move to strengthen the attack. However, Chelsea were unable to knock on the door of Crystal Palace as if they had fallen into an evil spirit. Li Mu's 73rd-minute shot bounced off the crossbar to the right post, and then from the right post to the left post, but it couldn't bounce into the goal, and was finally destroyed by the Crystal Palace defender.

The announcer at the scene sighed: "You can't score such a goal, maybe Li Mu really forgot to pass the goal boots." On the other hand, it also shows that Chelsea's luck is really bad, which is not a good sign. ”

Palace had to start with a couple of counter-attacks, but in the final ten minutes they got into full defence and were looking to keep it 2-1 until the end. Chelsea were bombarded around the Crystal Palace goal, but the goal never came.

"Toot, toot, toot——" The game ended as Chelsea lost 2-1 at home to relegation-fighting Crystal Palace, creating the biggest upset in the Premier League in this round. The later match between Manchester City and Arsenal will be a great opportunity for the Blues to open up the difference.

There is no doubt that Manchester City's opponents are better than Chelsea's, and with City still playing away from home, to put it bluntly, even if Manchester City lose to Arsenal in this round, it will not be a surprise.

Manchester City want the league title, Arsenal want to keep fourth, and neither team will have any humility on the pitch, with the first goal scored by Manchester City away from home, with Kevin De Bruyne setting up Leroy Sane in the fifth minute to make it 1-0.

Coincidentally, Chelsea, who lost in this round, also scored in the opening five minutes, and Manchester City also broke the deadlock on the field at this time, I don't know if this is a tacit understanding.

City's lead lasted until the 40th minute when Theo Walcott equalised, his seventh league goal of the season for Arsenal.

The first half ended with a draw between the two sides, and in the second half, both sides played inexplicably cautiously, neither dared to let go of the attack, the two teams did not attack much, in the first twenty minutes, both teams only had two shots on goal, but neither team could score.

In the seventy-fifth minute of the game, Arsenal suddenly hit the ball to Manchester City's goal, Ozil tore through the Manchester City back line with a beautiful through ball, Murstafi received the ball in the penalty area, Ma Junqiang attacked, but at this time, Stones rushed over, he moved too much in defense, kicked down Murstafi, and the referee decisively gave a penalty.

Ma Junqiang was very dissatisfied with Stones' foul: "You don't have to kick him, you just have to lean on him, he doesn't have that much space to shoot, only the near corner, I blocked it in the near corner." ”

Stones didn't speak, Ma Junqiang shook his head, and sighed: "A defender worth tens of millions is at such a level. ”

Xu Ziyi is also very helpless, Manchester City's reputation as a "defensive team" can be said to be resounding all over Europe, and the outside world generally believes that only Liang Xiran is a really outstanding defender in Manchester City's back line, and the others are not worthy of the name at all. At present, it has been rumored that Real Madrid wants to buy Liang Xiran for 40 million euros, but Manchester City resolutely refuses to let him go and keeps Liang Xiran in the form of a salary increase. Everyone knows that if Liang Xiran leaves Manchester City, Ma Junqiang will be almost defenseless in front of him.

Mustafi personally took the penalty, Ma Junqiang pounced in the right direction and also saved the ball, but Mustafi played with great power, Ma Junqiang failed to save the ball out of the goal, and Arsenal overtook Manchester City 2:1 at home.
