New Vieira! New Bergkamp! Arsenal ushers in a new era of their own" - Daily Express

When Arsenal won Sunderland bloodlessly, the wind direction of the entire media immediately began to puff up Arsenal's strength and expressed great satisfaction with Arsenal's current situation.

In fact, the whole Arsenal are also very satisfied with their team's recent rebound. But soon they were met with a series of misfortunes.

The reason is very simple, it is still an injury, after winning an unbeaten season from a set of squads, Arsenal's character seems to have run out, and successive injuries have found Arsenal every season.

Not only this season, but also from the 05-06 season, although that season reached the Champions League final, but that season, Arsenal fell into the curse of the race for the fourth for the first time due to injuries.

That season, Arsenal and Tottenham seemed to be competing for the fourth thing, and they didn't complete the comeback until the final round. In that final, Thierry Henry dragged his sick leg, Reyes was absent, Cesc Fabregas rushed into the game just after recovering from injury, and if it was complete, Arsenal might not be reversed.

In the 06-07 season, team leader Thierry Henry was absent for several months, and in the 08-09 season, Adebayor, Van Persie, Rosicky and others were injured one after another, and Eduardo broke his leg, which made Arsenal drop the chain at a critical moment.

And this season, Cesc Fabregas is out in April, Rosicky's return is far away, and Theo Walcott is now a few weeks away.

At this time, the knockout round of the European competition is imminent again, and it is when the Arsenal players are serving their lives that someone is injured again.

Veteran injured Diabi has aggravated his calf injury and will definitely miss the knockout game against Roma in midweek. Eduardo, who has just returned from the FA Cup and scored two goals, injured his hamstring in previous training and will be available for almost two weeks.

Arsenal's already overstretched personnel are now even poorer, not to mention Ramsey and Song, even Vela and Bendtner are still in a very unstable state.

Arshavin, sorry, he has already played for Zenit in European competition and has already lost his qualification for the knockout rounds.

Against Roma, Arsenal could only rely on that remnant to get out.

But fortunately, their first game was to Rome, first away and then home, which was somewhat advantageous.

'Yes, I'm sure we can get the win we want at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome and my players have the quality to win there.'

In the pre-match press conference, Wenger swore that he was full of confidence.

"But, Mr. Arthur, you can't hide your offensive inadequacies, do you think one Van Persie is enough?"

Many media outlets were skeptical of Arsenal's statement, and the Sun's reporters couldn't wait to stand up and question it.

I thought Arsenal had drawn a good sign, but Roma was not so good at getting along, although the overall strength of Serie A declined, but there were two teams that sprung up.

One is Inter Milan led by Jose Mourinho, and the other is Arsenal's next opponent, Roma with Wolf King Totti.

They are now fighting against Inter Milan, and their strength is naturally not to be underestimated. And in the country, they have only one opponent, and the strength of the other opponents cannot pose a threat to them as a whole, so that they can focus more on the Champions League.

Arsenal's trip to Rome was by no means as smooth as Arsene Wenger had suggested. In particular, Arsenal's current frontline, Van Persie is the only one who is really reliable, which is unconvincing.

"We don't just have Robin, we know we're a team. We have a lot of scorers in the team, Bella, Bendtner, Nasri, this season, all have good goals. ”

Arsene Wenger knows the suspicions from the outside world, but he is more confident and he believes in his players.

Although Bella and Bendtner are in an unstable state, they are not completely waste, and once they are opened, they are enough to kill people, and no one can completely ignore them.

And Nasri, the French little swan, played better in Europe than in the Premier League. After all, the penalty scale of European competition is not as 'unscrupulous' as the Premier League. It is extremely advantageous for this type of skilled player.

However, Wenger's biggest source of confidence is not them, but Xiang Hao.

"And you've forgotten someone, Hao. I'm sure Howe will play a big role in the game against Roma, and I'm sure the whole team will. ”

Arsene Wenger emphasised the confidence in his gaze.

Indeed, in Europe, there has never been a midfielder who has completed a big quadruple in a game.

With such scoring ability and such combat effectiveness, no one dares to erase it and dare to make a conclusion. Especially the British coal who have seen Xiang Hao's many miraculous deeds this season, they are too afraid of Xiang Hao slapping their faces.

Haven't you seen the Sun News, which can disagree with Xiang Hao the most recently, has converged a lot? As soon as Wenger brought up the existence of Xiang Hao, the Sun reporter, who was still questioning loudly just now, immediately withered and did not dare to refute.

This reporter was also afraid, it was really too much of a lesson.

His predecessor, Mike, was teased twice by Xiang Hao and fainted and was hospitalized, and finally lost his job, and was treated as a madman and stayed in the police station for two days.

Such a lesson is in front of him, and there is no sign of Xiang Hao's decline, where does he dare to make waves again.

Now the Sun newspaper knows that for the time being, they can't afford to offend the Oriental who repeatedly slapped them in the face, and when they encounter his problems, before they are sure, avoiding concessions is the main strategy.

Not only the Sun, but also other media, hearing that Wenger used Xiang Hao as their source of confidence, they did not hesitate.

It's very simple, which comic person dares to question Xiang Hao now, now Xiang Hao is the absolute number one newcomer in the entire British Isles, although the limelight cannot be compared with Ronaldo, but it will not be much different.

If you want to say that it is really a gap, it is only in international football, after all, Xiang Hao has not won the Champions League, nor is he the Golden Ball Award, the World Footballer, this part, the gap is too big.

In the Premier League, Xiang Hao's strength has long been recognized by everyone. The continuous excellent performance has already proved that Xiang Hao is the thigh and the number one pillar of this Arsenal team.

The most important thing is that Xiang Hao's four goals in a single game in the European competition are too strong and impressive.

On this stage, those four goals are enough to gag everyone's mouth.

The doubts about Arsenal basically died down after Wenger lifted Xiang Hao.

Even Luciano Spalletti, the head coach of Roma, mentioned the two people the most in the pre-match press conference, one is Wenger, and the other is Xiang Hao.

believes that Xiang Hao is the Arsenal player in this Arsenal team, and is most likely to end this knockout round.

The shadow of the famous tree of the person is Xiang Hao.
