On January 7, 2014, at 8.45pm, the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals was played at the Emirates Stadium, with Arsenal hosting Manchester United.

As Arsene Wenger had predicted, Manchester United had a poor league record, so they had all substitutes and young players in a game that didn't matter to them.

In the face of such an opponent, Wenger will naturally not be polite, and he has also rotated some of the main players who are physically fatigued.

Of course, the only person who can't be touched by thunder is the physical superman Zhang Xu.

Arsene Wenger's line-up is still the familiar 3-2-3-2: goalkeeper 1-Szczesny; Defenders No. 17 - Mon Renier, No. 28 - Gibbs, No. 25 - Jenkinson; Back 18 Zhang Xu and 20 Flamini; In midfield, No. 19 Cazorla, No. 11 Ozil, No. 7 Rosicky; Forwards No. 15 - Oxlade-Chamberlain and No. 9 - Podolski.

At the beginning of the game, Arsenal, which was playing at home, launched a crazy attack under the leadership of Zhang Xu.

In the third minute of the game, Zhang Xu broke the ball in the middle, immediately quickly dribbled forward, shook the opponent's two players, and suddenly shot from a distance of about 35 yards from the goal!

The football flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal like a cannonball, pulling the whirring wind! Manchester United's goalkeeper reacted in time, he made a sideways save, and he was stunned to hold the football a little bit with his fingertips!

With that, the ball changed direction a little, hit the crossbar of the goal, and then bounced back into the box, with the United defenders scrambling to clear the ball.

Although the goal was not scored, it greatly boosted Arsenal's morale and fighting spirit.

Soon, the game officially entered Zhang Xu's control.

In the nineteenth minute of the game, it was Zhang Xu again, who made an accurate tackle, directly cut off the opponent's pass, and stabbed his teammate Flamini.

Flamini passes the ball to Cazorla on the right.

Cazorla cut forward quickly and then crossed directly to Podolski for the first point in the box, but he couldn't get it on top and the ball was confiscated by the United goalkeeper.

In the twenty-sixth minute of the game, it was Zhang Xu, who received a pass from Flamini near the halfway line, and once again staged his arrogant and unreasonable dribble breakthrough, using his perverted speed and body, and once again came to the edge of Manchester United's big penalty area.

Just when everyone thought he was going to have another long-range shot, he chose to pass! A direct pass sent the football to the feet of the teenager Chamberlain.

Oxlade-Chamberlain faced the goalkeeper and fired a volley!

Football hits the net! 1 to 0!

In the 43rd minute of the game, Flamini broke through with the ball, scored a point with his right foot, and distributed the football to Cazorla on the right.

Cazorla crosses with his feet!

Zhang Xu dominated the crowd in the middle of the penalty area, and a beautiful lion swung his head and pushed the football directly to the far corner of the goal!

This time, Manchester United's goalkeeper was a little slow to react, and the football went into the net!

The ball is in! Two to zero!

The first half is over, and the second half is easy to fight again!

With a two-goal lead for Arsenal, the mentality is somewhat relaxed. So at the beginning of the second half, he was pressed and beaten by Manchester United.

If it weren't for Zhang Xu's efforts to defend, maybe Manchester United might have pulled one or even two goals back!

Gradually, Arsenal's players slowly recovered under Zhang Xu's reminder, and the game once again entered Zhang Xu's time.

In the seventy-third minute of the game, Zhang Xu made a straight pass near the middle line, directly through the gap between the three players, and accurately came to the right edge of the big penalty area!

Podolski, who had been lying in ambush all this time, quickly came out, grabbed the ball before the Manchester United defenders, controlled the football, and then shot directly at goal!

Manchester United's goalkeeper made a save, and the football was out!

Cazorla grabbed the first point and shot again! This time, Manchester United's goalkeepers can't do anything! The soccer ball flew straight into the goal!

Three to zero! Arsenal seal the win!

After that, although Arsenal still got certain opportunities under Zhang Xu's organization, they failed to create goals, and finally, in the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals, Arsenal beat Manchester United 3-0 at home.

At 8pm on January 13, 2014, Arsenal challenged Aston Villa Villa in the 21st round of the 2013/14 English Premier League.

In the 49th minute of the game, Lowton passed, and Bacuna's low shot from the edge of the penalty area was confiscated by Szczesny. Villa finally settled down in the second half, but the attack lacked real threat.

In the 61st minute of the game, Zhang Xu passed the ball after cooperating with Ozil, and Cazorla's powerful shot in front of the penalty area was confiscated by Guzan. In the 65th minute, El Ahmadi passed the ball and Westwood's long-range shot was met by Szczesny. Gibbs then came on for Monreal and Rosicky for Gnabry. In the 73rd minute, Gibbs returned a pass from the left side of the penalty area, and Giroud's left-footed shot from the edge of the box went wide of the near corner.

Villa almost pulled one back in the 76th minute, Lowton crossed from the right, the unguarded Benteke leapt to the edge of the six-yard box, Szczesny made a save, and he could save the football with his fingertips!

In the 82nd minute of the match, Abang Lajo escaped punishment by boxing Rosicky during a battle for the top. He was then booked for a foul on Mesut Ozil. Rosicky had a nosebleed and was replaced by Chamberlain. Villa came close to equalising in the 89th minute when Lowton's diagonal cross into the box was met by Benteke's header from eight yards.

In the 93rd minute, Wilshire passed the ball and Cazorla's shot from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area was confiscated. In the 96th minute, Wilshere delayed time and received a yellow card.
