Now for Arsenal, the most crucial thing is the next group stage, the home game against Dortmund, if they can win smoothly, then the situation of qualifying from the group is bright.
If you can't win against your opponents, then the situation in the group will become delicate.
Zhang Xu is really not very familiar with Dortmund, but he is not worried at all, he believes that as long as the mentality of his teammates does not go wrong, the team will definitely defeat the opponent!
Dortmund is just a stepping stone to his European Champions Cup final, if this can't be passed, then why talk about competing with Messi and Ronaldo?
Just when Zhang Xu was full of ambition to meet the next game, a call-up order was sent to the Arsenal club, which was a call-up order for the national team, requiring Zhang Xu to report to the national team before October 10 to prepare for the Asian Cup qualifiers against Indonesia on October 15.
When he saw this call-up order, Wenger's brows furrowed, from his point of view, a game of this level in the Asian Cup is no longer suitable for Zhang Xu at all, and running back and forth, in addition to increasing Zhang Xu's physical consumption and the impact of the state of the position, there is no benefit for Zhang Xu.
However, Wenger knew that Zhang Xu was a very assertive player, so he handed over the call-up order to Zhang Xu and let Zhang Xu make his own decision.
"Sir, it seems that it is not possible to go back! Not for the national team, but for Indonesia! After Zhang Xu looked at the call-up order, he raised his head and said to Wenger.
"Indonesia? Why? Wenger asked, confused.
"Hey, hey, keep it secret!" Zhang Xu frowned and said.
In fact, where could Wenger think that Zhang Xu went back this time to teach Indonesia a lesson!
Why? Just because Zhang Xu can't forget the cruel anti-China incidents that have occurred in Indonesia for many years!
On May 14, 1998, Indonesian President Suharto instructed the Indonesian army and a part of the mob to carry out a very inhumane massacre of Chinese in Indonesia!
From May 13 to 15, 1998, serious riots broke out in Jakarta, Indonesia and other places, resulting in more than 1,200 people killed in the riots, most of them Chinese, more than 5,000 Chinese shops and residences were burned down, and even more outrageous, Indonesian rioters also raped hundreds of Chinese women in broad daylight.
About 170 Chinese women were raped and ****ed during the riots, and more than 20 of them died of serious injuries, including a 9-year-old and an 11-year-old girl. It is also estimated that the total number of Chinese women raped is as high as 300.
As early as 1965, Indonesia became anti-Chinese.
On September 30, 1965, during the "9.3O" incident that broke out in Indonesia, the Indonesian **** military group not only eliminated the Indonesian Communist Party, but also carried out large-scale arrests and massacres of innocent Indonesian overseas Chinese, and at least 300,000 Chinese died in this bloody anti-Chinese action.
After the Suharto government came to power, it ordered the word "China" to be replaced by the word "China", divided Indonesian residents into aborigines and non-aborigines, classified the Chinese as non-aborigines, and marked their identity cards with special marks, nakedly making discrimination against the Chinese open and legitimate.
Since 1966, the Suharto government has promulgated dozens of anti-Chinese and anti-Chinese laws and regulations, which are aimed at depriving the Chinese of their political and cultural rights as Indonesian citizens and forcing the Chinese to renounce their own language, culture, religious beliefs and living customs.
After Indonesia's independence, discrimination and persecution against the Chinese have been everywhere and have endured for a long time.
In 1968, the Singapore government sentenced Indonesian sailors, leading to anti-Chinese riots in Surabaja.
In 1970, a Chinese from Sulawesi led to an anti-Chinese action because of his disrespect to the **** prophet Muhammad;
In August 1973, anti-Chinese riots also broke out in Bandoeng, Java;
In 1974, Japanese Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka's visit to Indonesia also aroused a high sense of national consciousness among Indonesians, which evolved from anti-Japanese demonstrations to anti-Chinese riots.
In 1980, when a Chinese and an Indonesian secondary school student collided with each other on a bicycle in Solo, Java, a verbal altercation was immediately attacked.
At the end of 1982, in Makassar, the capital of Sulawesi now known as Ujung Pandang, it was rumored that a young girl had been killed by Chinese, and more than 20 shops of Chinese descent were burned down.
In 1983, an anti-Chinese riot broke out on Soembawa Island, and dozens of Chinese businessmen were robbed.
In 1984, anti-Chinese riots broke out in Jakarta, killing and injuring dozens of people.
In 1986, news of a Chinese abusing a maid in Surabaya sparked weeks-long anti-Chinese riots.
These heavy histories make Zhang Xu feel sick and angry every time he hears the name of the country Indonesia.
Therefore, in this game against Indonesia, Zhang Xu has to go!
Of course, Wenger didn't expect Zhang Xu to have such an idea, but he saw that Zhang Xu had already decided, so he didn't object again, but he put forward a request: win the next away game against West Bromwich Albion!
"No problem! Look no further than that! Zhang Xu laughed and promised loudly.
At 4 p.m. on 6 October 2013, the 7th round of the 2013/14 English Premier League season was played at the Hawthorn Stadium, the home of West Bromwich Albion.
Arsenal had just beaten West Brom on penalties in the Carabao Cup 10 days ago. Arsenal have lost just one of the last 12 meetings between the two sides, winning nine and drawing two of the remaining 11 games. Arsenal have lost just one of their last 19 visits to the Hawthorn Stadium.

With Sagna out injured, Gibbs started in place, Mikel Arteta was back in the starting line-up, while Vermaelen remained on the bench.
As for West Bromwich Albion, former Arsenal striker Nicolas Anelka started for West Bromwich Albion.
At the beginning of the game, Zhang Xu showed a strong offensive momentum and frequently attacked the West Bromwich Albion team. Under his organisation, Arsenal gradually took control of the situation from the start.
In the 3rd minute of the game, Arteta passed the ball near the middle line, and Zhang Xu shot angrily on the edge of the penalty area, which was blocked by the opponent's defender.
In the 13th minute, Arsenal were awarded a free-kick opportunity, and Ramsey's free-kick from 30 yards went straight wide.
In the 14th minute of the game, Zhang Xu and Anelka faced each other for the first time, facing the former Arsenal striker, Zhang Xu did not leave any affection for the other party, and directly used the "upside down" skill, and snatched the football from the opponent's feet unreasonably.
In the 18th minute of the game, Zhang Xu's offensive organization finally had a harvest.
When Zhang Xu was dribbling the ball near the halfway line, he saw that there were no West Bromwich Albion players around Ozil, so he directly kicked the ball and sent the football to his feet.
After Ozil got the ball, he didn't break through with the ball, but directly picked up the pass, the ball went over the West Bromwich Albion backline, and Walcott volleyed into the net from a tight angle on the left side of the penalty area!
1 to 0! Arsenal take the lead by one goal!
After taking the lead by one goal, Zhang Xu did not relax his offensive against the West Bromwich Albion team, but led his high-spirited teammates to continue to bombard the opponent's goal.
In the 22nd minute, Olivier Giroud passed the ball and Wilshere's shot from outside the arc of the box went wide of the right-hand post.
In the 34th minute of the game, Zhang Xu passed the ball, and Ramsey's long-range shot from 30 yards out was confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper Myhill.
In the 40th minute of the game, West Brom cleared a corner kick, and Zhang Xu's strong shot in front of the penalty area was saved by Myhill.
In the second half, Arsenal continued to attack under the leadership of Zhang Xu.
In the 46th minute of the game, Giroud passed, Zhang Xu made a light leak in the middle, and Wilshere shot high from 12 yards on the left side of the penalty area.
In the 56th minute of the game, Rosicky replaced Ramsey.
In the 60th minute of the game, shortly after coming on the field, Rosicky received Zhang Xu's half-high ball from 25 yards away from the goal, and directly volleyed high.
In the 63rd minute of the game, Arsenal extended the score again.
Zhang Xu made a direct pass in the middle, and after Giroud took the ball, he saw that the angle of the shot had been blocked by the opponent's defender, so he passed it back directly, and Rosicky took the ball and passed it horizontally!
Zhang Xu was 25 yards away from the goal, facing the rolling football, and shot directly with a furious kick!
The ball hit the thigh of opposing defender Olsen and there was some deflection in the course of movement, and the West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper was too late to react and watched as the ball flew into the bottom right corner of the goal!
Two to zero!
So far, Arsenal have sealed the win.
In the following game, although Zhang Xu and his teammates did not let go of the attack on the West Bromwich Albion team, the shot was either high or missed, so until the end of the game, the team failed to score again.
The final score was 2-0!
Zhang Xu successfully completed the task assigned by Wenger!
After this game, Zhang Xu stepped on the plane to China, and the national team will assemble in the capital, and after a simple training camp, it will rush to Indonesia for the third game of the Asian Cup qualifiers!
It is also a revenge battle in Zhang Xu's plan! (To be continued.) )
