85. The best three-in-a-row cup in the whole game

Tan Xibi's fairy ball not only broke the stalemate between the two sides, but also dealt a heavy blow to the confidence of the Red Wine Army, which had held on for more than an hour.

Unwilling to lose at home, Burnley launched a fierce attack into the heart of Arsenal after kick-off, but this played into the hands of Arsenal.

As long as they resist the onslaught of their opponents, they can fight back immediately after winning the ball, and with the speed and impact of Danny Welbeck, Alex Sanchez and the two wing-backs, the wide-open Burnley backfield will be the zone where they can run amok.

In the 73rd minute, Burnley made a long pass from the backfield, Chris Wood's header was snatched by Schodland Mustafi for two penalties, Mustafi passed to Tan Xibi, Tan Xibi did not stop the ball, and directly sent a beautiful long pass to Sanchez not far in front of him.

Sanchez and Welbeck both fired arrows, but fortunately Sean Dyche was not stunned by Tan Xibi's goal, and when the team attacked, he still left the back three at the back to prevent Arsenal's counterattack.

Of course, Burnley's attacking intensity has struggled to put pressure on the Gunners' defence, and the distance between the midfielders and the backline is too large when attacking, creating a disconnect between the two lines and giving Arsenal the opportunity to threaten in this empty space.

So Sanchez, unable to get rid of Burnley's follow-up and unable to feed Welbeck, who was following on a parallel line, passed the ball back to Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey and Tan Xibi.

Although the counterattack was unsuccessful, in the case of leading, it is a manifestation of ball intelligence to keep the ball by passing the ball back at the end of the day when the counterattack is hopeless.

In the end, it was Ramsey's through ball that passed too early that Sanchez fell into an offside trap to end the counter-attack.

After the goal, Arsenal began to collect the game, on the one hand, considering the two games in the week next week, to save the energy of the main players, and on the other hand, to win away at the lowest cost, Arsène Wenger after learning the lessons of the previous December Christmas devil schedule, is the best choice Arsène Wenger has made.

Every December, Arsenal will start to drop the chain at this stage, and then in February and March, the habitual collapse.

This time, Wenger lost the Champions League qualification for the first time during his tenure at Arsenal, and the main goal was to keep the league and win the fourth title, the Europa League group stage training was the mainstay, and after entering the knockout round, he looked at the league rankings and then decided to make a trade-off, so Wenger began to try how to achieve the best results at the minimum cost while rotating the squad when the league was dealing with multi-front battles and dense schedules.

Therefore, after Tan Xibi scored, Wenger immediately made adjustments, the trident stayed in the front court to contain the opponent, and everyone else returned to their own half, once they grabbed the opponent's ball, either counterattacked in a wave, or controlled the ball at their feet, and used the pass to consume time.

In the Pippi video studio, Zhang Heilu's signature hey smile and said: "Burnley manager must now regret running out of substitutes so early, when he needs to fight back when he is behind, but there is only one striker in Wood, under Arsenal's strict defense, Hendrick and Brady's ability cannot provide assists to Wood, and Tan Xibi's running coverage in the backfield is very large, Burnley's counterattack looks lively, in fact, it can't create a threat at all." ”

Zhan Yingjun: "Arsenal played very smartly after taking the lead, obviously considering the devil's schedule starting next month. For the Gunners, who have a big impact on injuries and have a weak bench depth in the top six, it is right to play conservatively when it comes to securing three points. ”

With skillful footwork, Arsenal controlled the situation on the pitch.

Dyche crossed his arms and looked coldly at the players on both sides of the field. He knew very well that after Tan Xibi's sudden fairy ball broke his hard-earned bus tactics, the outcome of this game was basically doomed, unless Arsenal sent a penalty.

Dyche did not expect that in the final moments of stoppage time, the first two stoppage-time killings by Arsenal would be played out again.

The difference is that the first two times were lore lore, and this time it was the icing on the cake.

In the final minute of stoppage time, Burnley launched the final attack, but Tan Xibi ran to the right to help defend Héctor Bellerin, cut off the opponent's ball, and played a long pass to Sanchez on the left for the first time.

There was no offside, Sanchez burst into the box with the ball on the wing and crossed with his feet, Ramsey, who rushed to the box, jumped up for the top but was pushed down by Burnley defender James Tarkovski.

Although Arsenal were ahead, and the game was coming to an end, Lee Mason knew how England journalists would bash him after the game if such a clear pushing foul was not awarded.

With a decisive whistle and a resolute hand pointing to the penalty spot, even if the Burnley players stepped forward to argue, it could not change Mason, who did not want to be smeared by the reporters of the British Empire.

It was Alexis Sanchez who took the penalty and the Chilean striker made it 2-0 with a single effort.

"Congratulations to Arsenal for winning two league games in a row and moving up one place to third in the league table!" Zhan Yingjun shouted happily.

Although he is a die-hard Liverpool fan, it does not prevent his love for Arsenal, especially after Tan Xibi joined, Arsenal is simply the only team strongly supported by Chinese fans.

No matter who Arsenal's opponent is, as long as Tan Xibi plays a game, the ratings are firmly ranked first overseas, and even far more than the United Kingdom.

If Tan Xibi continues to stay at Arsenal, it is foreseeable that next season, the rights holder of the Chinese Premier League will make a lot of money just for the Arsenal Premier League package, and count the money until the hand cramps.

The FA, the Premier League and Sky Sports are also planning to join forces with Arsenal to organise a project for Chinese fans to watch at the Emirates Stadium, specifically selecting matches with strong dialogues.

Since Tan Xibi entered the Premier League, his jersey sales have jumped to the first place in the Premier League, think about the hundreds of millions of Chinese fans in China If each of them has one, what a terrible sales volume and income it is?

Although Alexis Sanchez contributed a one-shot and one-pass stat in the game, he was the first to break the deadlock, and with a brilliant out-of-foot shot, Tan Xibi became the first player in the Premier League history to win the Man of the Match in three consecutive games, and the first midfielder to score in three consecutive games this season.

In the post-match interview, talking about the outside instep shot, Tan Xibi modestly said: "Although my purpose is to shoot, I really didn't expect to score a goal on the first attempt of this way of shooting, which shows that I was very lucky this afternoon." ”

When asked if this shot was taught by Ricardo Quaresma, Tan replied: "No, I know he is the best man with the outside instep, but I haven't seen him. There are a lot of videos online about his outside instep shooting, and I sometimes practice this technique in training. Actually, this kind of shooting is very difficult, I haven't fully mastered it, and I need to keep in touch. ”

Speaking about next weekend's strong rivals Manchester United, Tan Xibi smiled slightly: "I am also looking forward to this game, Manchester United has a lot of world-class players, they are very strong. I love playing against strong opponents because beating them will give me a good season. ”
