Chapter 78: The Post-Race Storm

Arsenal won at home to Hull City, but people seemed to be more concerned about the wide-ranging clashes that erupted in this game; With all the players on both sides involved, the referee's clean four red cards were a shock, and the victory made Arsenal look a little uncertain, although they were back at the top of the table once again in this round of fixtures.

Although Arsenal thinks that Nasri has no intention of stepping on Garcia, the Hull City players don't think so, they think that the bad boy Nasri is definitely a malicious stampede, which will definitely be an extremely bad and immoral action, so they will be dissatisfied with Nasri's abnormality, they will report it to the FA, and they think that Nasri is definitely an existence that needs additional punishment. As for Xiao Qing, it is even more unforgivable, because Hull City believes that Xiao Qing's impulsive behavior has escalated the conflict on the field, and Xiao Qing's direct action on the court obviously makes the conflict more intense, which naturally needs to be punished more severely.

As for the Arsenal side, they first need to defend Nasri's stampede, which was definitely an unintentional stampede, but it was Hull City's players who took the lead in a radical way that triggered a three-minute push and abuse between the two sides. And Xiao Qing just doesn't want to see his teammates suffer, speaking of which, it was Hull City that made the first move, and Arsenal was innocent!

It will naturally be a war of words, and Arsenal certainly don't want more attention on it, they don't want to be punished after the game; The Gunners camp was already stretched thin by a wide range of injuries, and with two red cards, it is certain that Arsenal will appear to be even more unavailable in the 19th round.

And Nasri once considered to be maliciously trampling on the opponent. Arsenal France international Nasri who was the trigger for the incident. There is a high risk that he will face an additional penalty of a three-match suspension from the FA. And Xiao Qing is not to mention. He did do it, so the punishment for him was also great; Originally, Xiao Qing was the team's only genuine striker, coupled with Xiao Qing's important tactical position in the Gunners' camp, the lack of Xiao Qing for a long time will definitely have a significant impact on Arsenal's next games.

"It's very sad that a manager has lost his job. I feel very sad because I know how much work a manager has to do and how much he has to give to the team. Arsene Wenger first replied to Manchester City's sacking of Mark Hughes and former Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini taking over, and thought it would be fair to sack a manager at will. We all agreed that there should be enough patience. Obviously City are different. It's hard for me to assess the situation at other clubs and all I can say is that Mark Hughes is out and it's really sad. ”

Arsene Wenger then commented on United's heavy defeat to Fulham, saying that Arsenal and Manchester United have been in a competitive position. 'We're always competing, we want to be successful as a team, and they want to be successful, so let's continue to be cautious. It's great that we're back at the top of the table, we're going to work harder and it's a good opportunity for us. We're going to take that chance. ”

As for the clash and the red card, Arsene Wenger selectively ignored it. He doesn't want this matter to be magnified, especially if he still knows that Xiao Qing is doing it in the player's tunnel, even if Xiao Qing is defending properly, even if Arsenal starts to react quickly, and once this matter is closely pursued, then it is very likely to be dug up by the paparazzi, and the loss for Arsenal will be even greater at that time.

With the main team absent and fatigued in consecutive battles, it is not easy for Arsenal to win Hull at home; Coupled with the fact that Xiao Qing and Nasri were sent off in this game, this game is naturally full of variables. Thankfully, the whole team worked together and everyone contributed to the game, and Arsenal got through the difficult situation, with Diaby being the most eye-catching and the number one contributor to the game.

If a run-in mature collective lacks a core, it will inevitably encounter the dilemma of poor coordination and inability to open the situation. Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea have all played useless at different times due to the absence of a core, the difference is the speed and method of adapting to the "non-nuclear", or someone has stepped forward to shoulder the burden and establish their place in the collective; Either work together and turn a single core into a multi-core.

Nasri's kick to Garcia caused two teams of up to a dozen people to entangle and push. Fighting was not a good thing, but at the time it was a great medicine to inspire the whole team to work together. Van Persie was deliberately kicked by Bam Adebayor while at Manchester City, and none of his teammates stepped forward to seek justice for Van Persie, and no one even protested to the referee about Adebayor's rudeness. When there is a conflict, there is no more lonely person than a teammate staying out of the matter.

And this time, Arsenal rushed to defend Nasri, and after this trouble, Arsenal found a sense of collective cooperation, which made people feel the long-lost hatred and brotherhood! In the second half of the game, the Gunners united and worked together, coupled with Xiao Qing's red card, but no one complained about Xiao Qing, and even they cheered and cheered for Xiao Qing in the locker room, which is enough to prove that Xiao Qing rushed up to put down the players of Hull City and made the Gunners' players completely accept Xiao Qing, because Xiao Qing will stand up for them, and Xiao Qing will not watch his teammates suffer.

Although Arsenal won this game, although this new Gunners looks more and more powerful, but the difficulties faced by Arsenal can not be solved by optimistic statements, this game played beautifully, and it is not a normal performance for the time being, and Arsenal still has a lot of negative factors.

The first is that the two aces Xiao Qing and Fabregas are absent, if it makes the team play better and better, but you can't expect such a demon moth thing to appear; The second is the impact of the Africa Cup of Nations, as we all know, Chelsea has suffered huge losses, but Arsenal is not in the ranks of the "fishermen", Song returned to the Cameroon team, Eboue returned to the Ivory Coast team, a main midfielder, an important replacement on the bench, under the premise that the Arsenal squad is already incomplete, they left, this team looks even thinner.

It is thin to say that the winter supplement will start soon, but Arsenal seems to be very indifferent to the winter recruitment, not that Wenger's good character of saving money for the club has begun to flood again. And there are indeed objective reasons that are difficult to get rid of.

Arsene Wenger himself is not interested in even buying a qualified substitute. If the bought players can not hedge the crown brings a beneficial effect. The current Arsenal run-in is very good, and he does not want to upset the current balance; There is no need to talk about Arsenal themselves, Wenger's principle of living within his means will not change, even if he wants to buy a club, he has no money to spend, so the matter of buying a top player, in the upcoming transfer market, will definitely not happen to Arsenal.

Zuihou takes a look at Arsenal's fixtures in January, which is loose and tight. It's not good for the whole team to get through the Africa Cup of Nations. I don't mention the FA Cup here, just talk about the league, and come up with two home games against Bolton and Everton, because it is a home stadium, and Arsenal is still very sure of winning it. This was followed by two away games, against Bolton Wanderers and Villa, and Zuihou with one home game against Manchester United.

If you want to survive the lack of talent brought about by the Africa Cup of Nations for about a month, it is really not good for Arsenal. Especially as the winter transfer window draws closer, in recent times. Barcelona people continue to stand up and say that Xiaofa should return to Camp Nou to play. Arsenal is really annoyed by this kind of public poaching in the media and disturbing the morale of the other party's military, but this kind of drama has been staged for too long, but they have no more way, because the protagonist of the incident, Cesc Fabregas, has never been clear enough, although he has repeatedly expressed his desire to continue to stay at Arsenal, but the ambiguity between him and Barcelona is also known to everyone.

It is a joy for Arsenal to win this game, but Xiao Qing and Nasri are in some trouble right now; But Arsenal are the biggest winners in this round, at least as they look in the table.

In this round of games, Manchester United at Craven Cottage Stadium suffered a 3-0 defeat at the feet of Fulham, the second consecutive season of defeat here, in the case of Arsenal's home win, Manchester United tragedy was finally narrowed in the case of some score gap was thrown away again, once again more than a game away from the top team, the halfway championship is completely no Manchester United thing.

Arsenal's other major rivals were also not comfortable as Chelsea travelled to take on West Ham. At full-time, Chelsea drew 1-1 at West Ham United and both goals were from the penalty spot, with Diamandy netting a penalty for West Ham and Frank Lampard scoring for the Blues. Chelsea, who finally returned to the top of the table, made a series of mistakes that once again made them kicked off the top position by Arsenal, and the successive upsets also made the Blues Chelsea be thrown away by Arsenal Some gaps, they are really sad, of course, they are not enough to compete.

There was once again a dramatic scene in the standings in this round of the game, although the gap between Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United is still not particularly huge, but look at the last three rounds of games, the three teams rushed to be upset, and they made mistakes when they finally had a chance to shake off their opponents.

In particular, the 'tragedy' of the battle for the top spot makes people laugh and cry, Arsenal and Chelsea took turns to sit in the three rounds, and the top position after each game in the last three rounds is that these two teams are very humble to the opponent, they are constantly making mistakes and making up for it, they seem to be not so strong to take advantage of the opponent's mistakes to expand the advantage.

In this round of the game, the media are talking about the wonderful performances in this round of the game, whether it is a comedy or a tragedy in the standings, in short, there is still a lot of room to play in this round of the game alone; In addition, Xiao Qing and Nasri teamed up at home to make the media excited and find a very good space to play, which is also a very good thing, and the media is not short of news now, and even a little too busy, because it is very interesting.

Fans are also talking at this time, that is, some people need to be heavily punished for Nasri, and some think that Nasri is innocent; For Xiao Qing, although many fans think that Xiao Qing's violence on the court must be heavily punished, there are still a considerable number of fans who think that Xiao Qing is protecting his teammates, although such behavior is not worth encouraging, but it is also excusable.

The referee on duty has already submitted a report to the FA and Arsenal's Nasri and Xiao Qing and Hull City's Barmsby and Hunt will all face charges and penalties, and now they will have to wait for the FA's decision. (To be continued......)
