With a 2-0 win over Fulham, Arsenal have won both league games and are six points on league points, sitting top of the table on goal difference of five and not conceding a single goal. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is not an unusual thing for Arsenal, in the past few years, Arsenal has often started high and low, often falling behind from the middle of the league, and can no longer climb up in the late stage.

So, although the current situation of the team is gratifying, there is nothing too exciting and exciting for everyone in the team.

The next match, the second leg of the qualifying round for the European Champions Cup, takes place four days later, and the opponent is naturally Fenerbahce.

Since Arsenal won 3-0 away from home in the first leg and had a huge advantage, Wenger is naturally confident about this second game.

He also adopted a rotation system, rotated part of the main team to recover his state, and arranged some substitutes to start, which not only trained the team but also cultivated the tacit understanding between the team members.

Of course, what is cultivated is the tacit understanding between the players and Zhang Xu, as for Zhang Xu, he does not need to cultivate at all, because he has been in the virtual training mode and has cooperated with his teammates for more than two years, and there is no problem of cooperation at all.

At this time, Wenger had to sigh at Zhang Xu's perverted physical fitness, and after six consecutive games, Zhang Xu did not show any fatigue. After conducting a physical examination of Zhang Xu, the club's sports medicine experts came to a conclusion that made Wenger stunned: this kid's body is so strong that it doesn't look like a person at all, but an interstellar monster! Physical? Are you kidding? When have you ever seen an interstellar monster lack physical strength? Just toss him for two more seasons, it is estimated that he will still be alive and well!

After Wenger's shock, there was a burst of ecstasy!

It's impossible for him not to be excited, what does it mean to be a team core like a perpetual motion machine? It means that the team will never lack a strong heart! There will be no shortage of anytime!

In this way, the team will maintain a relatively stable state, without the chaos of frequent changes in formation and constant tactical adjustments.

This is especially important for Arsenal, because a stable formation and tactics can allow Arsenal to get through the most difficult mid and late stages of the league and lay a solid foundation for winning the league title.

Of course, there are other championships, and Arsenal will also actively participate in the competition, and will no longer have to abandon some competitions because the team's bench depth is not enough, and the team's players are exhausted.

And now, the first thing Arsenal needs to fight for is to successfully enter the finals of the European Champions Cup!

At 7:45 p.m. on 27 August 2013, the second leg of Arsenal's match against Fenerbahce officially began.

Zhang Xu led the team to launch a fierce attack on Fenerbahce from the first minute of the game!

Why? Zhang Xu has his own considerations.

By establishing an advantage early on, the team can calmly switch players to take turns on the pitch, whether it is to recover or conserve energy, Wenger can choose calmly.

He's no longer an ordinary player, he's the new captain of Arsenal and there's a lot to think about not just how to lead the team to win games, but a lot of issues that don't have to do with the game.

And now, he just wants to make the team stronger!

Under the leadership of Zhang Xu, Arsenal's offensive was very fast, and in the opening five minutes, three threatening shots were formed, and if it wasn't for the opponent's goalkeeper playing bravely today, the score would have been rewritten.

However, no matter how brave the opponent's goalkeeper is, it can't change the situation that the team is completely at a disadvantage.

In the seventh minute of the game, after Zhang Xu got the football near the middle line, he immediately rushed to the front.

Seeing Zhang Xu break through with the ball, Fenerbahce immediately arranged for three players to attack back and forth. For Zhang Xu, they can be regarded as a thorough acquaintance, this guy who can help the team defeat him with a score of 3-0 at his hellish home field, they can't help but be the slightest sloppy.

In the face of the opponent's stalking, Zhang Xu was not panicked, he had a wealth of experience in this, so he directly poked the football with his toes and stabbed the football to the feet of Cazorla on the right side, and he completely exploded his 99-point speed, directly past the two players on the other side, and came to the next position to receive the ball.

Naturally, the football came over at the right time.

Now, Zhang Xu has established a certain WeChat at Arsenal, and most of the players basically obey Zhang Xu's words.

And this situation occurred not because Zhang Xu served as the captain of the team, but because Zhang Xu showed unparalleled midfield organization ability in the previous games, and also had strong defensive and offensive capabilities!

Such an all-round captain and core, such a teammate who can always bring victory to the team, even if the opponent is only 22 years old, the teammates still give Zhang Xu a high degree of trust.

After Zhang Xu got the football, he did not continue to break through with the ball as the Fenerbahce players and coaches imagined, but made a beautiful arc and directly sent the football to Podolski, the lighthouse in front.

The pass was so precise that the ball flew just over the head of Fenerbahce's centre-back and then comfortably landed on Podolski's head!

Podolski didn't even have to jump, he just threw his head forward and the ball hit his forehead and bounced back to the goal.

Fenerbahce's goalkeeper finally didn't perform the magic again this time, the ball smashed on the goal line, and then bounced off and flew into the goal!

1:0!

Although he was leading by one goal, Zhang Xu was not satisfied, in his opinion, this was not a very safe score, even if the total score had reached 4:0.

One more goal is needed! Zhang Xu said to himself silently.

So, taking advantage of the decline in the opponent's morale, he once again launched a lightning-fast attack.

Fenerbahce's striker had just driven the ball out and passed it back to the striker at the back.

Fenerbahce's forward midfielder lazily took the ball and turned around, ready to pass the ball back to the team's midfielder, when he heard a loud reminder from his teammates: "Oh my God! ”

"Hell, when did he come running? Be careful! ”

"Damn it, watch out behind you! Watch out for that Chinese zhang behind you! ”

Just as Fenerbahce was screaming in a rage, the forward midfielder immediately felt a powerful force coming from under his feet, and directly stabbed the football out of his feet, and then a gust of wind blew, and a red figure swept past him, like lightning, straight into the back of the team.

This figure is naturally our Zhang Xu, as early as the moment the opponent kicked off, he directly raised his speed to the highest.

By the time the ball rolled to Fenerbahce's midfield, he had already crossed the halfway line and pounced viciously at Fenerbahce's midfielder, who was holding the ball.

As a result, the other party really noticed Zhang Xu's movements, and when he turned around lazily, Zhang Xu was already approaching his body less than three meters away.

And just when his teammates reminded him, Zhang Xu directly stretched out his right foot, stabbed the back of the football with his toes, and then quickly chased two steps and directly controlled the football.

Fenerbahce's other players, especially the players in the midfield, were shocked to see Zhang Xu cut off the football from his teammates' feet so easily, and immediately two players pounced on Zhang Xu, and the other defenders also compressed the formation to prevent Zhang Xu from breaking each one.

Zhang Xu pushed with his right foot, passed the football past the two players who pounced, and then directly activated the "fast horse whip" skill, ghostly past the two Fenerbahce players, and caught up with the football.

By this time, he was less than forty yards away from the goal! It can be regarded as Zhang Xu's long-range shooting range.

However, shooting at this distance, Zhang Xu is really the first time, and he is really not sure, but what if he is not sure? Long shots are never a sure thing! Moreover, he really has no teammates for him to choose to pass and play, because the closest teammates to him now are all about five meters behind Zhang Xu.

So, without the slightest hesitation, he directly picked up his thick thighs and slapped them on the back of the football in the eyes of countless fans!

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the football flew directly to the upper right corner of the goal quickly and steadily like a cannonball!

Fenerbahce's goalkeeper was very experienced in saving this kind of long-range shot, moving two steps in quick succession to the right side of the goal, then leaping quickly and reaching out his arms to pounce on the flying ball.

He's confident enough to pounce on the football!

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the power of Zhang Xu's shot would be so great!

The ball was indeed pounced on by him, but it did not change the trajectory of the ball's flight, the ball only changed direction a little, and still plunged headlong into the upper right corner of the goal! Hit the net into a wave!

The ball is in! 2:0!

Zhang Xu himself was also very satisfied with this goal, he waved his fist and swung it twice in the air!

The Arsenal fans at the scene were even more excited, and they screamed and shouted one after another in the stands to express their inner excitement and excitement.

Even Wenger felt a little stupid, where could he have thought that Zhang Xu's long-range shot would be so amazing!

However, he was more excited and proud, proud that he could see the pearl and snatch Zhang Xu to the Emirates Stadium first!

After 2-0, the game lost its suspense.

Arsene Wenger began to rotate his personnel in a systematic manner.

In the final game, Arsenal played another 3-0, and the next goal was scored by Podolski who assisted Theo Walcott.

Arsenal advanced to the UEFA Champions Cup finals with an aggregate score of 6-0! (To be continued.) )
