Chapter 311: Arsenal with an Unbalanced Mentality

Another 2-0, another clean sheet!

Under the leadership of Zhang Xu, plus the Emirates Cup and the friendly match against Manchester City, Arsenal has won all ten games and set a terrifying record of ten clean sheets!

The birth of consecutive victories and records is often accompanied by changes in the mentality of the team members, and psychological conditions such as pride, arrogance, and worry abound. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info this is a problem that is difficult to solve easily due to the majority of young people in the team.

At this time, England's sports media, large and small, began to sing praises to Arsenal collectively.

"Ten wins in ten battles, Arsenal swept all opponents!" 》

This is a report from the "Sun", which reads: This season's Arsenal, since the Chinese Zhang joined, Arsenal's strength has been greatly improved, and their inherent problems have also been changed.

Arsenal have been horrible in tackling their defensive problems, as is clear from their impressive record since the start of the season.

Ten games, ten wins!

Whether the opponent is the weak Fenerbahce or the mighty Manchester City, Arsenal can win the battle, and what is even more incredible is that Arsenal has not conceded a goal! This is beyond anyone's imagination.

It's good that Chinese Zhang is a good player, but he's just a person, but the changes he has brought to Arsenal are too great! It is unimaginable that Arsenal's defense can be transformed so successfully, such a copper wall!

No wonder when China Zhang suffered a serious injury, many giants still diligently pursued him, no wonder Professor Wenger would rather put down all the work in his hands and personally go to China to invite him to join, no wonder Messi, Ronaldo and others are full of praise for China Zhang and are deeply jealous!

China Zhang, he does have the strong strength of the world's top organization back! And now it seems that he is not just a midfielder, he is also a central midfielder and a strong playmaker!

So, China Zhang is an all-round horror player!

"China Zhang sounded the alarm for the Premier League, and Arsenal rose strongly! 》

This is a report from Sky Sports, in which it reads: Another hearty victory! Another clean sheet! Arsenal have won ten games in a row this season and set an astonishing record of clean sheets!

It can be said that Arsenal's strong rise is already very obvious! If nothing else, Arsenal will be a strong contender for the Premier League title and beyond!

So who changed Arsenal? What makes it have such terrifying strength and brilliant records?

There is no doubt that he is the magical Chinese Zhang from La Liga!

I have to say that when China Zhang joined, we were all worried that he was a parallel import. But now it seems that he is not only not a parallel import, but also a real super fighter!

With his Arsenal, the strength has skyrocketed, and there is no longer the chronic disease of unstable backlash! The current Arsenal, except for a little bit of insufficiency on the front line, is basically strong on all other lines!

And even if there are deficiencies on the front line, China's strong desire to attack can completely make up for the shortcomings in this aspect.

Moreover, what impresses China Zhang is not only his tenacious defense, but also his extremely strong super long-range shot and header attack like the reincarnation of the air tyrant! These two sharp weapons made him the team's third-ranked scorer!

Moreover, Chinese Zhang has terrifying physical fitness, he can use the speed of other people's 100-meter races, and play a 90-minute game all the time!

Coupled with his terrifying body like a monster, he is a super tank galloping on the green field, simply invincible and omnipotent!

The commentator joked at the end: I'm not a football fan, but I'm a fan of China Zhang!

In addition to these two articles, other media outlets have also sung endorsements and praises to Arsenal and Zhang Xu, making all Premier League teams feel like a wolf.

Under such circumstances, the mentality of almost every player in the team began to change inexplicably, and the arrogant and proud mentality slowly grew, even Zhang Xu, who has always been more determined, was a little fluttering.

However, Zhang Xu is still very self-disciplined, he still maintains good training habits, and as long as he is on the field, all other factors will be left behind by him and concentrate on the game!

Like today!

At 1:30 p.m. on 22 September 2013, the fifth round of the 2013/14 English Premier League season was contested at the Emirates Stadium.

Stoke City Football Club (formerly known as Stoke City Football Club in 1925) is a football club based in Stoke-upon-Trent, England.

Stoke City is regarded as the second oldest football league club in the world after Notts County, having been founded in 1863 and is a founding member of the Football League.

Stoke City won the English Third Division twice in 1932-33 and 1962-63; In the 1971-72 season, he won the English League Cup.

Stoke City has a reputation as the City in the Sky, and at the same time, it is also a long-standing tough one, and any team will have to give 100 per cent effort to win him.

It's not that Stoke City are tough, it's that Stoke City have always insisted on playing defensive counter-attacks, and their defense is just too strong.

Arsenal have won just one of their last seven visits to Stoke City, but have won all of their last 11 home games against Stoke City. Stoke City's last away win against Arsenal was in 1981. The two sides have met 97 times in history, with Arsenal having the upper hand with 51 wins, 23 draws and 23 defeats.

Now, Stoke City, who are playing away at the Emirates Stadium, have adopted standard counter-attacking tactics. Arsene Wenger continued his winning streak in the starting line-up, but Theo Walcott was unwell during the pre-game warm-up and was replaced by Nabry.

Today's Arsenal lineup is like this: still a 3-2-3-2 formation: the goalkeeper is No. 1 Szczesny; The back line is No. 3 - Sagna, No. 4 - Mertesacker, No. 6 - Koscielny; The midfielders are No. 18 Zhang Xu and No. 20 Flamini; The midfielders are No. 16 Ramsey, No. 10 Wilshere, No. 11 Mesut Ozil; Up front are No.12 Giroud and No.44 Nabry.

Mikel Arteta recovered well from injury and sat on the bench with Vermaelen, and to Zhang Xu's surprise, the Japanese Ryo Miyaichi was also on the bench. However, he didn't care. It's just a Japanese player, not on the same level as himself!

At the beginning of this game, Arsenal quickly launched a fierce offensive under the leadership of Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu has never believed in evil, so he doesn't care how tough Stoke City's defense is, he only knows that there is no unbreakable defense line!

However, in order to seize the advantage, he directly opened his cheat at the beginning of the game: the "God's Perspective" skill!

Although this anti-heaven skill was activated, Zhang Xu failed to achieve good results in the first few minutes of the game.

This continues consistently until the end of the spell's duration, when it comes into play.

In the 5th minute of the game, Stoke City's Charlie Adam fouled Zhang Xu who forced a breakthrough with the ball in front of the penalty area, and Ozil received Zhang Xu's instructions to shoot directly from 25 yards from a free kick that was barely saved by Stoke City's goalkeeper Begovic.

Football didn't roll far! Zhang Xu grabbed the first point in the middle of the penalty area, and then pushed the ball through the crowd, and Ramsey grabbed the left edge of the small penalty area to shoot into the net before Walters!

The ball is in! Arsenal, under the leadership of Zhang Xu, successfully broke Stoke City's defense and took a 1-0 lead!

The goal was Ramsay's 7th in the last 7 games, with 7 of his last 8 shots on target from inside the woodwork.

After taking a one-goal lead, Arsenal, under the leadership of Zhang Xu, quickly controlled the situation of the game.

However, what made Zhang Xu feel a little uneasy was that Stoke City deserved to be a team that was good at counter-attacking, and when the score was behind, it was able to often carry out sharp sneak attacks to put pressure on Arsenal's goal.

For example, in the 13th minute of the game, Stoke City's Charlie Adam broke through on the left side and won a free kick on the left edge of the penalty area.

As the game time passed little by little, and Arsenal failed to get any good chances in the following games, even if Zhang Xu was in the middle.

In such a situation, the team began to feel impetuous, and the mistakes of the players began to increase.

In such a situation, Stoke City seized a rare opportunity and made a direct sneak attack!

It was the 26th minute of the game, Stoke City's Nzunzi made a long pass directly from the backfield and found Arnautovic in front of him, Arnautovic's 10-yard cushion shot bounced off the left post, and his teammate Cameron fired into the net from inside the penalty area!

1:1! Flat!

It was a goal that blinded the Arsenal players.

They never thought that they couldn't break through the opponent's gate by bombing indiscriminately, and as a result, the opponent would succeed in a sneak attack!

Moreover, this is the first goal conceded by the team this season!

The record is terminated!

Zhang Xu's teammates couldn't react for a long time, and they couldn't accept this reality.

As a result, in the 28th minute of the game, the team was almost attacked by the opponent again!

It's still Charlie Adam of Stoke City, or a long pass, Jones, who received the ball in front, stopped the ball a little more after getting rid of Medsak, and was shoveled out of the bottom line by Zhang Xu, who was back to defense, and therefore missed a possible single chance. If the single shot is successful, Arsenal is likely to fall behind 1:2!

"Damn! What the hell are you doing? What do you think? Kickball! Focus on kicking the ball and don't think about the mess! After clearing the ball, Zhang Xu became angry with his teammates for the first time, and he yelled at his teammates around him angrily.

And the teammates felt guilty, so they all lowered their heads silently and gradually recovered.

Arsenal, whose form has begun to pick up, has finally shown its strength again.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Ozil passed, Wilshere's shot was blocked by Pieters, and then Ozil took a corner kick, and Zhang Xu's header from the edge of the small penalty area was pushed out by Enzongzi in front of the goal line.

Arsenal took the lead again in the 36th minute, and it was Ozil who took a corner kick, Zhang Xu grabbed the first point at the back post, but was harassed by the opponent's defenders, and he had no choice but to give the ball to the other side of the goal.

Mertesacker received a pass from Zhang Xu and smashed the header into the empty goal!

2:1! Arsenal are leading again!

After the score was led again, Arsenal actually had many chances in the following games, but they failed to create a goal.

In the end, in the fifth round of the Premier League, Arsenal won again with two assists from Zhang Xu.

It's just that the record of ten games with no goals conceded was terminated! (To be continued.) )
