Although it was thought that Arsenal's away win was justified before the game, 17 consecutive wins was too dazzling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The Daily Mail shouted: "The Gunners have won seventeen consecutive victories, and a miracle has appeared!" ā
The Guardian said: "Who can be the terminator of Arsenal's winning streak? ā
The London Financier newspaper took the opportunity to ridicule the Manchester City media: "The 'gay incident' could not stop Chen's amazing performance, and some media immediately created a transfer storm. But they still couldn't stop Arsenal from winning 17 in a row, tying Inter's longest winning streak!
Now it's the intensive schedule and themselves that can beat Arsenal......
The London Evening News analyzed: "The media in Manchester City have repeatedly troubled Arsenal because they can't accept Arsenal, and they have risen with an invincible attitude this season!"
They are also basking in the bliss of a double and a treble in the Premier League.
When they thought they could win four consecutive Premier League titles, they couldn't accept the harsh reality of the Gunners leaving them far behind.
So they tried everything they could, and even took the initiative to put aside the grievances with Liverpool and shout for their mortal enemies.
Who knew that Chen shattered their hopes with a hat-trick and disgraced them.
In an attempt to save face, they seized the opportunity to stir up a transfer storm in an attempt to sow discord between Arsenal fans and the club, and they were once again disappointed.
Arsenal told the world that Chen is not for sale!
In the incidents they created, Arsenal was not affected, defeated all kinds of strong opponents, and won 17 consecutive victories!
It's hard to remember, forward, Arsenal, your time is coming! ā
The counterattack of the London media made the media in Manchester City quite uncomfortable, but they were speechless to refute......
The only consolation was that United's 3-0 home win over Wolves did not allow Arsenal to widen the gap further.
At 4 p.m. on December 15, the final round of the Champions League group stage began, and Arsenal challenged Greek powerhouse Olympiacos away.
Both teams have already qualified ahead of schedule and it is a game of honour.
The Karescacci Stadium is crowded with people.
"Tick! ā¦ā¦ā
As the referee's whistle blew, the game officially began, and Olympiacos, who took the lead in serving, launched a tentative attack on Arsenal with home advantage.
Seventeen consecutive wins undoubtedly gave Arsenal a strong sense of self-confidence, and after withstanding the wave of attack for about ten minutes, the tired Arsenal launched a sharp attack.
In the 17th minute of the first half, Arsenal played a smooth attack on the turf of the Kareskacz Stadium, and after nearly 20 passes, Cesc Fabregas made a diagonal pass in front of the penalty area.
The football flies to the left rib of the penalty area!
Chen Fan was caught by the opponent's two defenders, and there was no chance to turn around at all, so he directly kicked a cross.
Van Persie in the middle scored a point with both legs and leaked the ball through. Oliveira is plugged in the back row with a heavy gun!
The football flew like a cannonball, flying over the ten fingers of the Olympiacos goalkeeper!
The ball is in!
The score became 1-0!
Arsenal break the deadlock on the pitch!
Everyone thought that Arsenal, who was playing away, would take advantage of the victory, but who knew that Olympiacos, who was playing at home, launched a fierce attack on Arsenal in the following time.
In the 32nd minute of the first half, Olympiacos won a free kick in front, and Arsenal's set-piece defense problems were once again exposed.
The Olympiacos striker overpowered Song and flew a ball into the penalty area, which flew into the net from the right side of the goal!
The ball is in!
The score becomes 1 to 1!
The first half was a 1-1 draw, and after the start of the second half, Arsenal began to show signs of fatigue, with long journeys causing fitness problems.
As this is not a do-or-die game, Arsenal only landed at Athens International Airport at 11pm last night and they have yet to fully recover.
Olympiacos, playing at home, launched a tidal wave of attacks on Arsenal, and the Arsenal defence was in jeopardy.
In the twenty-fifth minute of the second half, Olympiacos crossed from the side, Arsenal made a mistake in the middle, and the opposing striker Lucas easily shot with his feet unmarked!
Football hits the net!
Two to one!
Olympiacos overtakes the score!
The team as a whole is weak, and Chen Fan has a feeling of being alone in the frontcourt.
In the 34th minute of the second half, Chen Fan forced the opponent to make a mistake in passing through an active steal in the hinterland, and Song made a long pass after stealing the football, and Van Persie in the front court struggled to control the football.
Chen Fan stepped forward like a cheetah, and Van Persie delivered the football to his feet.
After Chen Fan controlled the football at his feet, he was like a top master of swordsmanship, holding a peerless sword in his hand!
He brandished the sword in his hand, broke through the interception of the opponent's two defenders in a row with lightning speed, and shot low on the penalty line!
The football flew to the right of the goalkeeper of Olympiacos, who abandoned the goal!
The ball is in!
The score became two to two!
After equalising, Arsene Wenger decisively changed the formation and allowed Chen Fan to retreat to the back position to stabilize the precarious defence.
Arsenal's formation changed from 442 to 451, and with the increase in the number of midfielders, the defensive ability of the midfield was strengthened. Although Olympiacos' attacking wave was as fierce as ever, Arsenal held the score 2-2 until the end of the game.
As the referee's whistle blew at the end of the game, the game finally ended.
The exhausted Arsenal players collapsed on the turf, and Chen Fan bent over and gasped for air. The opposition were attacking too fiercely, and it was the toughest game he played since he arrived at Arsenal.
The group stage was so tough, and it was the knockout round......
Chen Fan exhaled a long breath, thinking about what to do so much, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover it!
At this moment, two Olympiacos players walked over, and to Chen Fan's great surprise, both of them came to exchange jerseys.
For this reason, the two also quarreled in Greek.
Chen Fan smiled bitterly, could it be that his fame had reached this height?
Where did he think that the seventeen consecutive wins in the Premier League would have allowed him and Arsenal to enjoy the whole of Europe and even the world.
Chen Fan finally exchanged jerseys with the player who came first, and the player who got the jersey left excitedly and satisfied.
It was supposed to be over, but the player who didn't change to his shirt didn't walk away and pointed to his pants.
"What?"
Chen Fan pointed to his pants in surprise and asked, "Do you want it?" ā
The player nodded very earnestly.
Chen Fan looked around, and it was not good to take off his pants on the spot, so he could only tell him that he was giving it to him when he arrived at the player's tunnel.
When the Arsenal players watched Chen Fan walk into the dressing room wearing only a pair of underwear, the whole dressing room erupted in loud laughter......
The laughter diluted the unhappiness brought to them by the draw.
Arsenal finished top of the group with five wins and one draw, and entered the knockout stage of the Champions League round of 16 with their heads held high.
The moment to test Arsenal's European prowess is at this moment, with the knockout stage opponents stronger and the game more dangerous.
