After scoring that free-kick against Chelsea, Chen Xi has now scored ten goals in the league, plus he has contributed 15 assists in the league. He has managed to get a "double-double" in the league.

For a midfielder, even a whole season of playing that statistic is perfect. And now the league is only a third of the way through.

Chen Xi's data has made him a well-deserved rookie king in the Premier League this season, and even the most eye-catching player. Looking at the entire Premier League, only Manchester United and Arsenal's two ace goalscorers, Henry and Ruud van Nistelrooy, can match Chen Xi in terms of goals.

Gunners king Thierry Henry has now scored 11 goals and provided eight assists. Dutch goalscorer Ruud van Nistelrooy has recently increased his tally to nine after an early-season goal drought.

There is no doubt that this year's Premier League top scorer battle will be between these three men.

Chen Xi rushed into the top three scorers as a full-back, and it was obviously a miracle.

Chen Xi himself found out that he had scored so many goals this season after the media reported it. At the beginning of the original season, when the team was not in major trouble, he had been comfortably brushing up assists.

But as the season deepened, when the team encountered strong opponents in a row, Chen Xi found that his assists were no longer enough to help the team, so Chen Xi chose to stand up and save the team again and again with goals. The shocking reversal with the Liverpool team is Chen Xi's masterpiece!

In fact, this is also the embodiment of Chen Xi's surname. This guy with a big heart, when playing against weak teams, he doesn't like to score goals very much, but is happy to help his teammates enjoy the fun of scoring goals. But when he encounters a strong opponent, his competitive spirit will be completely stimulated, and the desire to score goals will also flourish. In other words, the stronger the opponent and the more important the game, the more excited Chen Xi will be, and the better he will perform.

However, now that the position of the shooter list is within reach, Chen Xi said that he was not tempted to be fake.

To be able to fight top goalscorers like Thierry Henry and Ruud van Nistelrooy, it seems like a good thing? Chen Xi suddenly became interested in the top shooter list!

In addition to the scorer list, the standings are naturally also in the spotlight.

In the last round, second-placed Tottenham Hotspur and fourth-placed Chelsea drew a draw, while top-placed Arsenal were also held to a draw by Fulham.

As a result, Tottenham and Arsenal have 25 points after scoring one point each, with seven wins, four draws and one loss, and Tottenham are only in second place with a goal difference.

The draw between the top two teams clearly gives the chasers behind them a good chance.

Manchester United, who had a poor start to the season, have not tasted defeat since that draw with Tottenham. Taking advantage of the chance to drop points in the first few places, Manchester United have chased down third place in one fell swoop, just two points behind the top of the table.

Liverpool, who won this round, also took the opportunity to close the gap to the top of the table to two points, and are fourth behind Manchester United with a goal difference, while Chelsea are in fifth place with 22 points, three points behind the top of the table. Newcastle are sixth with 20 points, while even seventh-placed Leeds United are just six points behind the top of the table.

The Premier League seems to have entered an era of competition for hegemony like the "Seven Sisters of Serie A"!

Of course, there will be a lot of direct dialogue between these seven teams in the coming period, and whether the situation will become chaotic or gradually become clear will be determined during this time.

No, in the thirteenth round, Arsenal will face Newcastle in a tough match, which is obviously good news for Tottenham Hotspur who face the black cat Sunderland in the thirteenth round.

However, in the week leading up to the match against Sunderland, there will be a Carabao Cup last-32 knockout round.

Tottenham will take on League One (later Championship) rivals Burnley away from home.

For such a game, in the face of such an opponent, Hoddle naturally will not send the main players. A mixed team of substitutes and reserve players arrived away for the game.

As a result, the mixed team were very competitive, winning 2-1 away at Burnley to allow Tottenham to advance to the last 16.

This result was both a surprise and a little annoying to Hoddle.

I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent fighting performance of the reserves and substitutes, but the annoyance was that Tottenham Hotspur had spread out too much this season, and the league, League Cup and League Cup were all on high display, making Hoddle feel that his energy and the physical strength of the players were insufficient.

With the north London derby against Arsenal on the horizon after the Sunderland game, Hoddle felt he had to make some trade-offs.

The League Cup is the lightest competition, and Hoddle naturally pays the least attention. He has decided to continue to send a combination of substitutes and reserves in future competitions, and even, when the team is in a tight competition, he may send a reserve team and youth team to play.

However, in case the team reaches the semi-finals or even the final, he doesn't mind sending the main team to play a few games. After all, Tottenham haven't tried a title for a long time.

Although the League Cup is a European competition, in Hoddle's view, it is obviously not as important as the league. Being in the top four at the end of the league and qualifying for the Champions League is much more important than finishing in the top four in the UEFA Cup. After all, the income level of the Champions Cup and the League Cup is not half a star. Of course, Hoddle is still reluctant to give up the League Cup when the team has the energy to take care of it. It's a European event, isn't it?

The league is fundamental, and Hoddle naturally knows this, so he attaches the most importance to the league's record. Especially this season, the team is one of the strong contenders for the title, so he will not give up the league even if he gives up all the other cup competitions.

With this in mind, Hoddle began to prepare for the thirteenth round against Sunderland. The last time he suffered in Blake himself, Hoddle had become much more cautious, and he no longer dared to despise any opponent.

Chen Xi was hidden in the midweek League Cup, so he also got a rare opportunity to rest. Except for occasionally calling Yang Xu or Danny Weir to go to Chuanxiang Tower to improve the food, he doesn't have any pastime.

On Eva's side, after Chen Xi learned her surname, he also knew that he couldn't be in a hurry. Well, this principle is also true when the word "艹" is pronounced in four tones.

Therefore, except for occasionally going to the medical room to tease this girl in addition to training, Chen Xi did not take further action.

Before the crossing, as a diamond-level "big bubble", he was very accomplished in picking up girls, the so-called 100 girls have a hundred brewing methods, and soaking Eva's kind of girl can only be like making tea, a pot of good tea, which needs to be brewed slowly and savored......

Full of warmth and silver~ desire, the ancients did not deceive me! Bored and sitting on the sofa at home, Chen Xi thought.

Before the crossing, he was born in a well-off family, he didn't worry about food or clothing, and he was carefree After he finished his exam-oriented education and entered the university, he began to think about silver ~ desire. Until he crossed over, he hadn't "thought" enough.

After crossing here, because he became a veritable poor boy, Chen Xi had to work hard for his livelihood, and all his thoughts were on playing football.

No, now he has become the absolute main force in the team, has played a value in the league, and has signed a few big endorsement contracts. Chen Xi, who didn't need to worry about his livelihood, was about to move the restless factor in his heart again.

In other words, Chen Xi's body is still a chick now, count it carefully, Chen Xi has been over for more than four months!

I! He! Mother! I haven't had sex for more than four months~ ?! Chen Xi suddenly realized a serious problem.

Four months is an extremely long blank period for Chen Xi, who has almost never stopped crossing the front bed.

has been a chick for four months, and if it is known by those buddies before he crosses, he will probably be despised to death.

This problem must be solved, otherwise it is estimated that the guy below will be rusty!

Do you want to spend money to find a young lady? As soon as this idea came out, Chen Xi vetoed it.

In Chen Xi's opinion, he would rather go to the bar to find a girl who looks at the right eye to play for a night~ love, and after getting up, he will say~goodbye, which is at least a little technical.

Just when Chen Xi was wondering if it was time to go out at night, Nokia's classic ringtone of "lose all the money, lose the best money, lose the best light" came to Chen Xi's ears.

Isn't it Eva, this Nizi can't stand the loneliness and is ready to take the initiative to ask me out? Chen Xi excitedly grabbed the mobile phone on the table, and saw that it was David Marven calling. Chen Xi's original silver~dang mood suddenly cooled down,

"Hey, what's the matter, say!" Chen Xi said in a stiff tone.

"Good thing, Lao Tzu scored a goal in the League Cup today, I'm in a good mood, please go out for a drink, how about we go to Claridges [***] today?" Marven's obscene voice is full of silver~ swing, it seems that he is in a good mood today.

Chen Xi only knew that the team had won the League Cup today, but he didn't expect Marven, the fullback, to score a goal, and he was happy for this guy in his heart: "Okay! I just owe you a claridges last time, I called a few of my buddies, how about today's me? ”

Through his relationship with Marven during this time, Chen Xi also learned about his family's situation, his father was a bad gambler, and the family had always relied on his mother's handyman to support him. Now his salary in the reserve team is not very high, so Chen Xi took the initiative to make this request.

"What's so embarrassing about that...... So do it! There was only half a second between Marven's two sentences, and it was obvious that Claridges' consumption was still a bit extravagant for him.

Kami, the tone is getting really fast! Chen Xi said with contempt in his heart, but he still said in his mouth: "Nine o'clock, let's gather at the door of Claridges!" ”

"No problem!" Marven also replied cheerfully.
