Arsenal sit top of the league table with 61 points after the 23rd Premier League game against Manchester United, who have left them five points clear of them and established a lead. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Liu Han's hat-trick at Old Trafford became a hot spot after the game, especially the ultra-long-range lob that beat Manchester United at the end, although part of the credit for this lob shot should be attributed to Barthez's head, but the fans were still amazed by Liu Han's boldness, after all, not everyone dared to do this in the final moments of the game.

For the losing Manchester United team, Ferguson still insisted on his pre-match statement during the season, he said that Arsenal is nothing without Liu Han, and the old man still has no intention of giving up the stumbling block for Arsenal.

After taking away a victory at Old Trafford, Liu Han completely became the darling of Arsenal fans, after all, for fans, the game that was originally thought to be a draw was actually rewritten by Liu Han at the last moment, and in a very exaggerated way, which is undoubtedly the happiest for Arsenal fans.

After this game, Arsenal had all played in the first month of 2000 and then had a relatively relaxed game in February, with the exception of one against Liverpool.

Arsenal will face their biggest rivals in the second group stage of the Champions League competition, Valencia in La Liga.

Valencia, under the leadership of Argentine coach Cooper, has risen strongly in La Liga this season, becoming the third pole after Real Madrid and Barcelona, and even surpassed the in-form Barcelona to become second in the league at one point.

There are a number of outstanding players in this Valencia squad, and it goes without saying that Spain international Canizares is the best choice for Spain, although he has received some criticism since leaving Real Madrid.

Gaz Carmenta, a twenty-five-year-old Spanish talented midfielder, the soul of Valencia, captain on the field, the flag of the team, and even one of the core of the future Spanish national team, excellent speed and dribbling, as well as a vision to the bottom line, these are the reasons for Mendieta's success.

Manuel Pellegrino is a central defender for Argentina and a dominant figure in Valencia's backline. Kiri Gonzalez, another Argentine player, plays as a left-sided midfielder, with great speed and breakthrough and his knack for it.

Farinos, an outstanding young player produced by the Valencia Academy, is only 21 years old Farinos is a good assistant to captain Mendieta on the field, excellent physical fitness and excellent tactical execution ability are Farinos's magic weapon to conquer Cooper.

Claudio Lopez, an Argentine national team player, is a hidden killer in the front line, who is not tall but very flexible, and at the same time extremely sensitive to where the ball lands, which can be said to be one of the guarantees of Valencia's strong rise this season.

Miguel Angullo, one of the best products of Valencia's academy, is only 23 years old and one of the sharp knives in Valencia's forward line.

It can be said that this Valencia team has excellent players from the back line to the midfield to the striker, and the strength is not weaker than Real Madrid or Barcelona.

For Arsenal, this Valencia side is their biggest opponent in the group stage, after all, the teams will enter the knockout stage after the second stage of the group stage, so the top team in the group stage will face the other team in second place, which will undoubtedly be an advantage.

On March 1, Arsenal will travel to Spain to take on Valencia, a strong team that has risen strongly this year.

Before that, Arsenal have three more league games in February, and those three league games will be a good opportunity for Wenger to prepare for Valencia, with Liu Han and the team gradually finding their own style, Wenger wants to go far in the Champions League.

On 5 February, Arsenal visited Bradford, and what would have been an easy game was met with a lot of trouble.

Bradford are deep in the relegation zone so far this season, with 14 games remaining in the league and seven points behind third-from-bottom Derby County, which is a big gap, so for Bradford, every game will be an important game on their way to relegation.

Facing the league leader Arsenal, Bradford made up his mind to defend and counterattack in this game, while the Arsenal team, which was a little slackened in the game, did not play actively at the beginning.

Twenty-four minutes into the first half, Bradford seized the opportunity to break through the Arsenal goal, and it was only this goal that woke up the Arsenal players.

Liu Han was still a free man up front in this game, but Wenger gave him the task of instigating his teammates more to attack, but his teammates were not in shape today.

Bradford led in the first half, and into the second half, Liu Han began to exert power, while Wenger replaced defender Ruzny and replaced Ribery to strengthen the attack, Arsenal equalized the score in the tenth minute after the start of the second half, Liu Han's long-range shot in front of the goal caused the opponent's goalkeeper to save the ball, and Henry scored in the penalty area.

Bradford played very tenaciously in this game, and their defense against Liu Han was a man-to-man defense of two players regardless of formation, which caused Liu Han a certain amount of trouble.

The game was decided in the final moments, when Ribery received Liu Han's split in the middle, dribbled and forced in, and then scored with a cold left-footed shot.

Bradford came close to a draw at home, but Franck Franck Ribery's late goal denied them a loss.

Despite winning the game, Arsene Wenger was not satisfied with the course of the game, and Arsenal's players still relied too much on Liu Han in midfield, and without Liu Han's response, their attack would fall into simple and rough attack.

Maintaining a five-point lead over Manchester United, Arsenal host their strongest league opponents in February, Liverpool.

In the away game against Liverpool at the beginning of the season, Houllier was a step ahead and calculated Arsene Wenger's tactics to give Liverpool a 2-0 lead over Arsenal at the opening point, but in the end Arsenal relied on Liu Han's excellent play to finally equalise.

Now halfway through the season, Arsenal are at the top of the table, while Liverpool is struggling to fight for a top-four position in the league, Houllier has not handled the internal management of the team, and the Liverpool team is not harmonious.

However, Liverpool still attaches more importance to this game against Arsenal, although it is not as grudge as the city's rivals Everton and Manchester United, but for Liverpool, it is not a small honor to be able to pull the first place in the league. This is like a down-and-out old rich man, we were also bold back then, although it is a little difficult now, but it is also very good to be able to disgust the current rich man.

Therefore, the Liverpool team played very focused in this game against Arsenal, and the Arsenal team still focused on training under Wenger's arrangement.

Bergkamp returned to the bench after Bergkamp returned from injury, and although he beat Bradford in the last game, Arsene Wenger does not plan to start Ribery all the time now, after all, he is still young and his physical development is not yet complete, so he cannot overuse it.

Liverpool scored first in the first 18 minutes through Kamara, and in recent games, Arsenal's backline has had some problems, although there is a strong midfield led by Liu Han and Vieira, but it has to be said that Arsenal's backline is still too old.

After taking the lead, Liverpool began to retreat to the defense, leaving only Owen alone in the front court to prepare for a counterattack, Houllier took it when he saw it, and did not intend to fight Arsenal hard.

Liu Han is still surrounded by two Liverpool defenders, Houllier watched the last Arsenal game, and Bradford's defensive tactics against Liu Han gave Houllier a lot of inspiration.

Arsenal failed to equalise in the first half.

Heading into the second half, Arsene Wenger first replaced Bergkamp, who had just returned from injury, and the Dutchman was not in good form today, and he was a little unable to adapt to the rhythm of the game.

After Suker came on as a substitute for Bergkamp, Liu Han began to move forward frequently, although Liverpool's defense made it almost difficult for Liu Han to receive the ball, but his running position still pulled the Liverpool team's defense very well.

Seventy-two minutes into the game, Liu Han came to the front and pulled to the left side of Henry crossed the position, Henry received a pass from his teammates in the middle and chose to shoot directly, the shot touched Liverpool's defender and then changed direction, came to the feet of Suke in the penalty area, Suke did not stop the ball and directly pushed the goal, and the Arsenal team struggled to equalize the score.

In the end, Arsenal were unable to win the game, and their two games against Liverpool this season ended in draws.

Two weeks later, Arsenal continued to challenge Southampton at home, in which Arsene Wenger reintroduced Liu Han up front, Bergkamp dropped back into midfield as a central midfielder, Thierry Henry rotated and rested, and Franck Ribery partnered Liu Han as a striker.

The Dutchman, who had recovered from form, performed well in this game, and Liu Han did not dare to press the defense easily because of his huge deterrent power in the front line.

The Arsenal team played an efficient and smooth coordination in this game, although Liu Han did not respond in the midfield this time, but the Arsenal players have gradually adapted to the tactics of midfield passing and cutting after the training of this game.

Twenty-one minutes into the game, Liu Han received a cross from Ljungberg on the wing in the penalty area, and the domineering lion shook his head to make Southampton's defenders helpless.

Before half-time, Franck Ribery set up Bergkamp's first goal since his comeback, while the Dutchman had seen his goals drop since Liu Han's arrival, but his assists had risen a lot.

Returning in the second half, Southampton took advantage of a corner to head in from defender Richards, leaving Arsenal's ageing defence porous.

However, Southampton has not recovered from the goal just now, and in the attack, Liu Han retreated to get the ball and then burst through the door of Southampton from 35 meters out.

In the end, Arsenal won 3-1, and they can easily travel to Spain to take on a strong Valencia. (To be continued.) )
