Chapter 11: We Can Win the Championship
With a 3-0 lead in the first half, it can be said that there is no pressure on the current Arsenal players, although Everton are indeed a good team and they have been able to maintain a top-six finish almost all the time, and are even considered likely to challenge the traditional last four of the Premier League. But now for the Arsenal players, they are really not worried that Everton will fight back in the second half of the game, and now the morale of Arsenal wants to do more in the second half of the game with a crazy big win to start the new season.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Arsenal's performance silenced the entire Goodison Park stadium, and this evenly matched game, which was supposed to be the focus of the battle, completely became the stage for Arsenal's solo dance.
In the 48th minute of the game, Arsenal played a fast attack; Denilson's right foot on the left side of the midfield, Xiao Qing received the ball in front of the penalty area and made a slight adjustment and then crossed horizontally, Xiaofa followed up and inserted the ball into the penalty area and shot low with his left foot, the ball flew into the gate from under Howard's crotch, Arsenal 4-0!
Arsenal went completely crazy, a four-0 lead was enough for them to win this game easily, although this is only the first round of the league, but I believe that after this game everyone needs to re-weigh the strength of Arsenal. Even Everton may be unprepared, but they are still quite a good team; Even if Arsenal suddenly broke out, but looking at the performance of Arsenal in the game, they really have the ability to break the goal of any club.
Xiaofa, who scored the goal, did not celebrate much, and the players of Arsenal, who had a very tacit understanding, did not rush to the top at this time; Xiaofa, who scored the goal, ran to the sidelines, and pointed to the sky on the way. Then. A jersey was handed over to the coach's box. Xiaofa took it and unfolded it to the sky, a jersey with the words "No. 21 Halke", and he mourned his deceased friend in this way.
Halke, a defender for La Liga side Espanyol, died suddenly of heart discomfort just a week before the start of the new season. The Espanyol captain and Junior French were team-mates in the Under-21 team and they are good friends.
The Arsenal players were silent, the Everton players were silent at this time, and even Fabregas's team-mate Eboue came to express his condolences, and he showed the shirt to the whole stadium with the Gunners captain; The Everton fans, who had been booing constantly, became silent. This is perhaps the greatest respect for the 26-year-old player.
Although the original smell of gunpowder in this game temporarily stopped for a while because of Xiaofa's nostalgia for old friends, when the game restarted, the boos at Goodison Park became stronger and stronger. Everton fans really can't stand it, Arsenal are in their turf, they have scored four goals here, which also makes the Toffee fans who are still looking forward to the new season feel cold to the bone. Of course, at this time, they are also a little dissatisfied with their own team, Everton's lineup and strength are really good, but they must not play such an embarrassing score!
Everton may not have thought of a comeback or an equaliser at the moment, and what they need now is to score goals to restore morale. They can't afford to lose morale in the opening game of the new season, and they can't accept a defeat that would break them down for so long.
Fifty-eighth minute of the game. Everton made three substitutions in a row, and now Everton is really anxious, and now they need to attack and attack Arsenal's goal desperately. In the 61st minute of the game, Everton midfielder Pienal's direct free kick from the left side of the field blasted out of the goal, Almunia knocked the ball out with both fists, and Arsenal continued to keep the goal intact.
Although Everton, who had no way out, stepped up their attack at this time, although this also made Arsenal's insufficiently good defence begin to come under increasing pressure; But at this time, Arsenal really don't care, they are now completely crazy, the victory of this game has been reached, now they need to continue to expand the score as much as possible, they need a crazy opening game to win, and Everton's big attack also makes Arsenal get more opportunities.
In the 69th minute of the game, Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia threw the ball to launch a fast attack, Cesc Fabregas received the ball in his own half, and then he ran with the ball for nearly 40 meters; When he suddenly sent a straight plug in front of the penalty area, Xiao Qing in the penalty area instantly accelerated, and Xiao Qing was very happy in the face of this penetrating pass; After receiving the ball, Xiao Qing didn't make any adjustments, and directly picked up his right foot and hit the ball heavily. Xiao Qing's shot was very liliang, and the ball was almost attached to the turf so that the Everton goalkeeper could not do anything at all, and he had no other way to deal with such a quick and tricky shot with Liliang. So, the ball went straight to the bottom net on the right side, and Arsenal was 5-0!
Xiao Qing smiled and hugged Fabregas, who gave him an assist, Xiao Qing felt that this game was really cool; He scored a brace and provided an assist in this game, and there was no problem with the big win in this game. Xiao Qing is even happier that although he may still have a little bit of tacit understanding with his teammates now, it seems that the situation is getting better and better, and he believes that as long as there is enough time, then they will definitely be able to have a more tacit understanding and stronger chemistry on the court.
Xiao Qing is very happy, not only because his Arsenal debut was quite successful, but also because of the strength that Arsenal showed in this game. Everton was really a good litmus test, and Arsenal's fluid attacking and mercury combination were quite successful in this game; Whether it is a cross from the side or a breakthrough in the midfield, Xiao Qing on the front line has always been able to get enough shells continuously. So Xiao Qing was very happy, because he thought that this would make him burst out with more powerful combat power.
In the seventy-third minute of the game, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger replaced Xiao Qing and Fabregas with Eduardo and Ramsey, Xiao Qingzhi was full of boos or the villain applauded proudly, although it was almost all Everton fans, but Xiao Qing still walked off the pitch with great grace.
There is no suspense in this game at all, I believe that the Everton players at this time must want to leave the stadium that brought them a huge blow and shame as soon as possible, they obviously just want to end this game early. But the torment of Everton continues, and they will continue to suffer even more blows.
In the 78th minute of the game, substitute Arsenal striker Eduardo turned and volleyed in front of the penalty area, and the ball was slightly off. In the 84th minute, Ramsey shot high from distance.
In the 88th minute, Eduardo's left foot in the penalty area went straight through, Arshavin then stabbed with his left foot, the ball hit the far post, and Eduardo, who had already run to the back point, successfully made up the ball, 6-0.
Although in the 91st minute, Saha pulled a point back for Everton, but the goal did little to no avail, Arsenal humiliated the Toffees on Everton's turf, Everton's opening game of the new season can be said to be a failure, their ambitions before the start of the season may still be there, but it may take more time to regain morale.
Arsenal beat Everton 6-1 away and the highlight of the first round of the 2009-10 Premier League season was incredible, and Arsenal's performance made the media and fans go crazy!
"Who says we can't win? Take a look at our performance! Xiao Qing did not participate in the post-match press conference, but in the crowded mixed interview area Xiao Qing looked at the excited reporters and shouted proudly, this game is enough to make those media re-evaluate the strength of Arsenal, although we may not be the biggest favorites to win the championship, but don't think that we are just a team trying to keep the top four in the standings, we have enough strength and ambition!
Selling Bam Adebayo and Toure, who had vowed that he would not sell any of his main players this summer, was a big disappointment, just when everyone was not optimistic about Arsenal's prospects this season, Wenger bought Xiao Qing, and they rarely made a move in the transfer market; And now, in the midst of the underdogs, the Gunners have proved that they are capable of escaping the embarrassment of four years without a title in the midst of a hearty victory, knowing that their opponent is the mighty Everton!
A 6-1 win at Goodison Park is a great win for no one who would not be overjoyed, and Arsene Wenger was no different. The old French man expressed his joy for the team after the victory, and the professor admitted that he was a little "thundered". "I was very surprised by the result, especially with that win at Goodison Park. Everton are not at their best and I'm sure they will do better in the next game. ”
Indeed, Arsene Wenger's side suffered their biggest home defeat since 1958. In the face of such a win, it seems that people really need to reacquaint themselves with Arsenal.
'We showed a lot of cohesion, a lot of morale, and all of that is why we won. The Frenchman continued, "I don't want to name the performance of my players, but I think you've all seen it. They're really good, so I think you're going to see a better Arsenal and now I'll say it again, Arsenal's goal is to win the title and I'm sure you're going to feel different. (To be continued......)
