Chapter 330: Missed Matches
"Hey, Martin, this dress is nice today."
"Ryan, you've changed your hairstyle, hehe, not bad."
"Go to work, hehe, it's really early today."
β¦
While greeting him, he greeted his colleagues at the Kearney training base, with a warm smile on his face, full of anger.
"Hao, what's wrong?"
"I don't know, is it because of yesterday's game?"
"Possibly, Andre was really excited yesterday."
"I've never seen such a talented player as Andre Xiang, what a genius!"
"I already knew he was very good, and I asked for a few more of his autographs, hehe."
β¦
The staff at the Kearney training base didn't know why Xiang Hao was so happy and proud, but it didn't matter, it didn't prevent them from shifting the topic to what they were concerned about, ignoring the Arsenal star and talking about their own affairs.
'Andrey? Yesterday's game? What do they say? β
Xiang Hao didn't understand what they were talking about, and his mind was still immersed in Ivanka's gentleness.
But soon he found out that something was wrong, why was the whole Kearney training base discussing yesterday's game, Arshavin, the atmosphere was not right, the situation of the big stars.
'Phew, Andre's four goals yesterday were fantastic, especially the second one.
'yes, we've had two guys score four goals in a single game this season, which is rare.
'It's a pity that we still haven't won against Liverpool, and we're ten points behind Manchester United.'
"Forget it, it's Liverpool who should be more disappointed than us, at least we still have the FA Cup and the Champions League."
β¦
Liverpool, four balls, Arshavin, a series of words flowed into Xiang Hao's mind, and he finally realized what he had missed.
Patronizing Ivanka lingering, and having Ivanka for the first time was too exciting, Xiang Hao missed what should have been the most important thing last night - Arsenal's away game against Liverpool.
In Xiang Hao's memory, this game is the most classic game of the season, and the fans who watched it were addicted to it.
There was no time to train, Xiang Hao directly boarded the website and watched the news.

Countless reports, countless comments, almost everyone is talking about this game, Xiang Hao quickly clicked on the video to watch the highlights of the game, only to know what kind of ups and downs he missed it.
First, Arsenal led in the 36th minute, then Liverpool took the lead in the 49th and 56th minutes, and Arsenal equalized in the 67th minute, and then in the 70th minute, Arsenal once again achieved the score advantage, and it seemed that victory was in sight, but three minutes later, it was tied by Liverpool.
The ups and downs of the game went into stoppage time, and it seemed that the game was over, with the two teams shaking hands and many fans turning off their televisions.
But at this time, Arsenal scored another goal in the ninety minutes, and the score became 4-3, and the script should have been finalized like this, Arsenal beat Liverpool in stoppage time, but who would have thought that in the last moment of stoppage time, in the ninety-third minute, Liverpool's Israeli international Benayoun scored a goal, and the score instantly became 4-4.
The constantly reversing script, the climax of the highest moment, such a wonderful game, the two teams are Arsenal and Liverpool, and it is about the game between the two teams to compete for the championship.
Without a doubt, the brightest star and strongest individual praise of this match is Andre Arshavin. The Russian tsar scored a hat-trick in 35 minutes and scored four goals in 54 minutes.
With this game, Arshavin became famous throughout the United Kingdom and the world, becoming an absolute top superstar.
Before this, although Arshavin made the world shine with his performance in the European Cup and was known as the 'Tsar', he was always in the Russian league, not only the Russian Premier League is on the fringe of European football, but even Russia, in the mainstream European media, is also ideologically incompatible with himself.
So Arshavin joined Arsenal for two months and nearly three months, and he was Arsenal's thigh, but it didn't cause much commotion, and the media seemed to deliberately avoid him, unwilling to hype.
However, this four-goal performance in a single game allowed Arshavin to break through the barrier between newcomers and places of origin, and suddenly let him occupy the front page of all sports newspapers, and he gestured with four goals and ran wildly, which appeared all over the website, video, and newspaper.
All of a sudden, Arshavin was on fire, and everyone was chasing him and talking about him.
In a draw, the person who gained the most was Arshavin, and the team that gained the most was not Liverpool, nor Arsenal, but Manchester United.
Because of this draw, Manchester United's advantage over Liverpool has become four points, and the lead over Arsenal has become ten points, and there are only five league games remaining.
Most of these advantages can be converted into wins, especially with Manchester United.
And the worst loser, and the most regrettable to various commentators, is the Liverpudlian. After the game, not many people blamed Liverpool because of this game, they did it to the limit.
They were three years down at home and held Arsenal to a late draw and there was absolutely no problem in terms of willpower.
And more importantly, they are ahead of Arsenal in terms of scenes and opportunities, almost pressing Arsenal to play.
57% to 43% in possession time, an exaggerated 26 to 8 shots on goal, more than three times higher, and a 14-to-4 shot ratio for Liverpool to shoot around Arsenal's goalframe.
Others, such as passes, corners, free kicks, etc., are dominant.
But in this case, they were forced to draw by Arsenal, to be precise, by Arshavin to be held to a draw, and even almost won the game. Arsenal had four shots on goal from the woodwork, four goals and the most shots Alshavin had in a game.
Liverpool, who has a huge advantage, was done by Arshavin, who had a 100% hit rate.
Not only did they lose two points, but they even lost their hopes of winning the title this season, so it is no wonder that Manchester City's local newspaper used the headline "Brave Arshavin crushes Liverpool's league dream" after the game to send praise to Arshavin.
Arsenal, on the other hand, is the most criticized team.
