Since promotion to the Premier League in 2002, the Bloomers (West Bromwich Albion's nickname) have been a Premier League lift for eight years, and after several ups and downs, they were no longer relegated after returning to the Premier League in 2010.

In addition to winning the English top flight title in 1920, the 139-year-old football club has won one Community Shield, five FA Cups and one League Cup.

In August last year, the Chinese investment group led by Lai Chuanguo wholly acquired West Brom (abbreviation), and Bloomers also became the first Premier League club controlled by Chinese capital.

The Hawthorn Stadium, West Bromwich Albion's home stadium with a full seating capacity of more than 28,000 people, takes its name from the hawthorn trees sold at the nursery at the original site, and is the highest of the 92 league teams due to its 551-foot elevation.

This is the seventh consecutive year that West Brom have competed in the Premier League, with the 2012/13 season finishing eighth in the Premier League.

On 1 January 2015, West Brom appointed Toni Pulis as the team's new manager, replacing former boss Alan Erwyn, who had been sacked due to poor results.

After helping the Bloomers relegation, West Brom officially announced a one-year contract extension with Pulis, which expires in 2018.

Last season, West Brom were relegated again, and Pulis's relegation level was evident.

After the new Chinese owner took charge of the team, in order to ensure the stability of the team, he continued to appoint Pulis, who is good at relegation.

However, the new owner still put forward new requirements for the team, and the top 10 in the league for a long time, and even, can get a European place.

This season, West Bromwich Albion are eighth in the table with 40 points from 11 wins, 7 draws and 10 defeats before the Arsenal meeting, potentially equalling the highest Premier League ranking set in 2012-13.

The first leg was a one-goal defeat to the Gunners on Christmas Day, and before this game, West Brom had lost two consecutive league games, home and away to relegated Crystal Palace and Everton, who were fighting for a European place.

Last season, West Bromwich Albion and Arsenal each won a home game, and the two sides have met in the last five times, with West Bromwich Albion having 1 win and 4 defeats.

Facing the Gunners, who have won three consecutive league games, the bloomers are unlucky in this game.

Audience: 24,065 people.

Wearing the black and yellow jersey is the visiting team Arsenal fighting for the title, and the blue and white stripe is the home team West Bromwich Albion.

After recovering from illness, Cheung returned to the starting line-up and missed the game due to injuries to Mesut Ozil and Lucas Perez.

First captain Pert Mertesacker came to the bench after returning from injury, while Egyptian defender Mohammed Elneny also returned to the bench.

West Bromwich Albion Albion started in a 4-5-1 formation as follows:

No. 1 Ben Foster, No. 25 Craig Dawson, No. 23 Gareth McCauley, No. 6 Johnny Evans, No. 2 Aaron Nimes, No. 22 Nasser Chadley, No. 24 captain Darren Fletcher, No. 8 Jack Livermore, No. 11 Chris Brent, No. 14 James McClean, No. 9 Jose Rondo.

At 12:30, referee Nell Swobrick blew the whistle, and Arsenal, who took the lead, passed the ball directly to the feet of Zhang Zhetian.

Zhang Zhetian, who received the ball at the front of the big penalty area, was about to pass the ball, when he suddenly looked at the sky above the hawthorn stadium as if he had been ordered a fixation spell.

What's there to see in the sky?

Seeing the appearance of Zhang Zhetian, the players and referees on both sides also looked up, and in the sky, the two planes each pulled huge banners back and forth.

On the banner, one reads: Don't renew the contract, Wenger leaves!

The other reads: We trust and respect Arsene Wenger.

Wenger, the coaches and substitutes sitting in the coach's box also saw it, the corners of Wenger's mouth twitched slightly, he stood up quietly and walked to the sidelines, clapped his hands, and shouted: "Concentrate on the game!" ”

Zhang Zhetian, who quickly came back to his senses, took a deep look at Wenger on the sidelines, and shouted forward: "Alex! ”

As soon as he spoke, Zhang Zhetian took the ball with his right foot, and the ball flew through most of the field in a rainbow-like arc towards the left side of the West Brom penalty area.

Dongfeng Express, the mission must be achieved!

The ball landed in front of Sanchez with unmistakable accuracy as if it had grown eyes, and Chile's thigh rushed forward to catch the ball and sprint towards the opponent's penalty area.

West Bromwich Albion's right-back Dawson and right centre-back Macaulay turned to chase Sanchez in shock, but as soon as the tall and tall pair started, they could only watch as the short, agile and fast Arsenal no.7 entered the penalty area as if no one was there.

"W-Where do you think you've seen this?"

"Oh my God, it's so fast!"

"How is that possible!"

The West Brom fans at the scene watched in amazement.

This familiar scene, where did you seem to have seen it?

If Jurgen Klopp were here, he would have clutched his chest and yelled: "This trick is here again, it's this trick, and we lost by 4 goals at home!" ”

"It's the Doorman Connection again!" Marcelo Lippi's eyes flashed, the goalkeeper's long pass is not surprising, but he can create scoring opportunities through long passes, in addition to the tacit understanding with his teammates, the goalkeeper's grasp of the timing of the pass is very crucial.

As long as your archery skills are not taught by the Chinese teacher, in the good situation of no one marking and facing the goalkeeper one-on-one, you will not be unable to score this one-on-one goal.

Sanchez, who aims for the Premier League Golden Boot, is naturally not the shooting skills taught by the language teacher, facing the former Manchester United goalkeeper Foster who is nervous and half-squatting and spreads his arms to narrow the range of the shot, Sanchez pushes the far corner, and the ball rolls from Foster's feet into the bottom right corner of the goal, 0-1, international practice, the home team is in front.

Without waiting for the Arsenal fans to celebrate, there was an embarrassing scene in front of them.

After the goal, Sanchez and his team-mates did not hug and celebrate as usual, but ran to the Arsenal bench.

Zhang Zhetian also ran to the side of the pitch, and after seeing his teammates coming, he nodded to them, and after everyone stood in a row in front of the sideline of the field, Arsenal's substitutes also stood up, facing the bewildered Wenger and the coaching staff, and lifted the jersey in unison, revealing the slogan inside: Stay, Boss, we will always support you!
