After successfully winning the "Canary" Norwich, Arsenal won all six games in the first six rounds of the league and accumulated 18 points, and rightfully stood on the top spot in the league. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The second place is Liverpool, with only 13 points, 5 points less than Arsenal!

In third place is Tottenham Hotspur, also with 13 points. Fourth place is Everton with 12 points, while fifth place is Chelsea with just 11 points.

Manchester United and Manchester City, on the other hand, sit 12th and 7th respectively in the table, with Arsenal already far behind them.

Of course, this does not mean that Arsenal will be able to take the lead like this, and whether they can maintain this momentum is a very important issue for Arsenal. In every season in the past, almost the start was perfect, but in the middle and late stages, it was caught up and overtaken by Manchester United and other giants step by step!

However, after having Zhang Xu this year, will Arsenal change? No one can say for sure!

However, Zhang Xu is very confident in himself, because he will not have the physical problems that Premier League players worry about, plus he is always improving, he will only become more and more forked, so the greater his contribution to the team.

In addition, his fast and large-scale running on the field has greatly reduced the physical consumption of the players, so that the physical consumption of his teammates will be greatly improved compared with the past, which is also an important reason why Zhang Xu is full of confidence.

Arsene Wenger sees this as well, so he's in a very good mood right now, even when it comes to setting up the game against Dodmund.

Yes, the next game is the group stage of Arsenal's home game against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League.

This game is still more important for Arsenal, and it can be said that it is a game for the top spot in the group!

Borussia Dortmund is a football club located in Dortmund, Germany, in the city of Dortmund, Ruhr Region, Germany.

Borussia Dortmund have won the UEFA Champions League once, the Bundesliga eight times, the German Cup three times and the German Super Cup three times, the Toyota Cup once and the European Cup Winners' Cup once.

On December 19, 1909 in Dortmund, the BallspielVerein Borussia 1909 was founded.

The name of the club is derived from the name of the club in Steiger-Str. on the Porucia winery. The prescribed club attire at the time was a blue and white sweatshirt with red twill and black shorts. The first goal of the new club was to join the West German Sporting Federation.

In 2001, Summerr began coaching Borussia Dortmund.

The club spent 140 million marks to buy Rosicky, Kohler and Amoruso, of which Amoruso's transfer fee of 25 million euros is the highest transfer fee of a German club so far.

The following year, in 2002, Borussia Dortmund won the title.

In 2011, Jurgen Klopp led the team to win the Bundesliga for the seventh time, returning to the top after nine years. In 2012, Jurgen Klopp led the team to successfully defend the title in two rounds ahead of schedule, and Dortmund dominated the Bundesliga for the eighth time in history.

There is no doubt that Dortmund is strong, even if Arsenal has Zhang Xu, Ozil and others, in the face of such an opponent, it is difficult to say that they will be able to defeat the opponent.

Therefore, in order to win this game, Wenger not only conducted two days of closed training before the game, but also sent the team's strongest starting line-up except for the injured and sick.

It is still the familiar 3-2-3-2 double back formation: the goalkeeper is No. 1 Szczesny; The defenders are No. 3 - Sagna, No. 4 - Mertesacker, No. 6 - Koscielny; At the back are No. 18 Zhang Xu and No. 8 Arteta, and in midfield, No. 1 Ramsey, No. 11 Ozil and No. 10 Wilshere; Up front are No.12 Giroud and No.14 Theo Walcott.

Vermaelen and Cazorla and Bendtner were all on the bench.

At 7:45 p.m. on October 22, 2013, the third round of Group F of the UEFA Champions League group stage began, and Arsenal faced the visiting Borussia Dortmund at the home stadium of the Emirates.

Arsenal have won their previous two home games against Borussia Dortmund and have lost just four of their last 47 Champions League home games, but their last two defeats have come against German sides (Schalke and Bayern Munich last season).

Borussia Dortmund have won just one of their last 11 away Champions League games (beating Ajax last season) and their only Champions League win in England was a 1-0 win over Manchester United in April 1997, after losing three and drawing one.

Coach Jurgen Klopp was unable to direct from the sidelines due to suspension, while Kyle and Gundogan were sidelined with injuries. Schmelzer, who missed the league game with a thigh injury, returned and goalkeeper Weidenfeller ended his suspension. Bołaszczykowski came on past Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

"Beep!" With the referee's whistle, the battle for the top spot in the group officially kicked off.

At the beginning of the game, both sides played very actively, inserting forward again and again, cooperating with the front court again and again, and shooting again and again, and the two sides played inextricably. For a time, the field was wonderful, and Gao Chao was repeated.

In the 4th minute of the game, Dortmund Grosskreutz suddenly volleyed on the right side of the field, but was interfered with by Zhang Xu, and the shot was off the verge of 108,000 miles!

In the 6th minute of the game, when Hummels was dribbling the ball near the middle line, he was careless in the face of Zhang Xu's defense, and of course Zhang Xu easily cut off the football. After Zhang Xu took the ball, he passed the ball directly over the top, and the ball crossed Dortmund's back line and fell on the right edge of the penalty area.

Walcott quickly stepped forward, grabbed the opponent's block, and forced a shot!

However, the shot was not pressed, and the ball flew over the crossbar and flew off the baseline.

In the 12th minute of the game, Giroud lost the ball in the midfield, Dortmund quickly launched a counterattack in the middle, and in the face of Zhang Xu's pressing, the opponent finally learned a lesson and immediately distributed the ball to the side.

The wide player picked up the ball, cut inside quickly and then passed to the wandering striker on the right, where Lewandowski volleyed a powerful volley wide of the far corner from 22 yards out on the right.

In the 16th minute, the stalemate was finally broken!

This was originally an attack by Dortmund, but the opponent's back No. 18 Shahin obviously misjudged Zhang Xu's speed when he was dribbling the ball, and when he was legendary, Zhang Xu suddenly stepped forward, using his unparalleled speed to directly cut off Shahin's pass, and then launched an attack.

Zhang Xu first passed the ball to Ramsey on the right, and then crossed Shahin, who was about to counterattack, and ran to the next position to receive the ball.

Ramsey immediately replied with understanding. Zhang Xu leaned on his right foot and controlled the football, and in front of him was another Borussia Dortmund midfielder.

In fact, with Zhang Xu's current foot skills, it is not difficult to shake off Bender, but he chose the most direct way to pass - passing!

With a right-footed push, he pushed the ball to Mesut Ozil, who was in front of him on the left.

As soon as Ozil got the ball, he stepped forward at high speed and crossed immediately before the opposing defender blocked!

Zhang Xu jumped up quickly in the middle of the road, and with an indomitable momentum, he overwhelmed all Dortmund defenders, and directly faced his forehead towards the flying football!

Obviously, Dortmund did not pay enough attention to Zhang Xu, and only arranged a strong defender Hummels to keep an eye on Zhang Xu.

When Zhang Xu was about to jump, Hummels originally wanted to use his body to squeeze Zhang Xu away, but he quickly realized that he was wrong.

And it's ridiculously wrong, this Chinese zhang, where can he squeeze out, even if there is another defender like himself, he may not be able to squeeze the other party away.

Therefore, he could only watch Zhang Xu jump high, and then grab the first point extremely smoothly.

After a crisp "bang", the football was shaken by Zhang Xu's lion swing and changed its direction of movement, and quickly flew towards the upper left corner of the goal.

Borussia Dortmund's goalkeeper Weidenfeller was quick to react, but the speed of the ball was so fast that when he sealed the angle with both hands, the ball was already in the net!

The ball is in! Arsenal lead 1-0!

Seeing this goal, countless Arsenal fans at the scene went completely crazy, and they screamed Zhang Xu's name loudly while singing the Arsenal team song loudly and neatly.

And the most exciting at the moment is Wenger, at this critical time, Zhang Xu's goal immediately broke the deadlock on the field, and let the team take the lead, which is too timely for Arsenal, if the opponent scores first, then the situation is another situation.

Zhang Xu ran all the way to the fan stands, and frantically stacked Arhat with his teammates, fortunately Zhang Xu's body was strong enough, otherwise he would have been crushed and fractured alive by his teammates.

Dodmund is worthy of being the giants of the German chariot, and their will is indeed quite terrifying, after taking the lead by one goal, they did not lose their morale because of this, but became more and more courageous, and continued to compete with Arsenal for the initiative in the game.

However, Zhang Xu will not let them easily snatch the initiative back, he continues to calmly dispatch in the middle, blocking the opponent's attack again and again.

In the 23rd minute, Hummels brought down Olivier Giroud and was booked, and Mesut Ozil took a free-kick from the right, Koscielny headed it high, but the referee gave it a goal kick.

Wilshere, meanwhile, suffered an ankle injury and returned to the field after receiving treatment.

In the 31st minute, Ramsey's volley from 24 meters in front of goal went wide of the left post.

In the 35th minute of the game, after Zhang Xu stepped forward to shoot a long shot, the football was picked up by the opponent's defender, Grosskreutz received the pass, and directly passed the football to the front with a long pass, Dortmund's Reuss burst into the penalty area with the ball, and shot 14 meters away from the goal on the right side of the penalty area!

The power of the shot was great, and goalkeeper Szczesny made a good save from the bottom line.

Although he did not concede a goal, it also gave Zhang Xu a wake-up call, so he continued to maintain the team's defensive pressure on Dortmund while strengthening the team's defense.

In the 38th minute of the game, Giroud's cross from the left was destroyed by Schmelzer, and Ozil stopped the ball 18 meters in front of the goal and fired a left-footed half-volley, and Hummels destroyed it on the goal line!

The score was rewritten again in the 41st minute of the first half!

Sagna's cross from the right was cleared by Subotic and Weidenfeller was interfered with and got off the ball, and Giroud volleyed a left-footed volley into the empty net from 3 yards out!

2 to 0!

Arsenal lead by two goals! and went into the second half with two goals.

Six minutes into the second half, Rosicky, who came on as a substitute, did not show the slightest release when facing his old club, and he brought down Mkhitaryan while defending and was yellow carded.

Arsene Wenger then replaced Wilshere with Cazorla.

In the 66th minute of the game, Mesut Ozil took a corner kick from the right side, Mertesacker headed the goal, Ramsey volleyed it into the back post, but Mertesacker fouled Hummels first, and the goal was invalidated.
