Chapter 496: Lost the Blue Moon of Tianwang Mountain
Chapter 496: Lost the Blue Moon of Tianwang Mountain
It's a bit of an incredible, as Arsenal suffered the same massive injuries in January and February as they did in previous years. Everyone thought that Arsenal would start to drop the chain from this time of the massive injuries they had received, as they had done in previous years, but in fact they did lose a lot of games and some games that they should have won.
But in mid-April, just a month before the end of the season, everyone suddenly found out that Arsenal were still on their way to three titles.
They reached the last four of the Champions League, they reached the final of the FA Cup and now they are fourth in the league – a position they are very familiar with.
However, they are only nine points away from Manchester City in first place, although this score is still relatively large, but with five rounds of the league still to play, Arsenal still have a chance to win the title in theory.
They are also level on points with third-place rivals Chelsea and only seven points against second-placed Liverpool
What if in the final rounds of the league, Liverpool and Manchester City can't stand the pressure and drop the chain?
It's a bit incredible, but it's not like this hasn't happened before.
So, in theory, Arsenal have a chance to win the treble, of course, this is theoretically and practically, the chances are actually small.
Arsenal's game is the latest game of this round, probably considering that Arsenal's schedule is too tight, so the FA also "reasoned" once and put the game down the weekend evening, and this time Beijing time is already in the early hours of Monday.
The final game is not necessarily the finale, the finale of this round is Liverpool's match against Manchester City at Anfield.
This is a battle of Tianwang Mountain, a real battle of Tianwang Mountain. The outcome of this match could have a direct impact on the final winner.
Manchester City are now top of the league with 76 points after playing all their extra games, while second-placed Liverpool are four points behind with 72 points. If Manchester City win this game, they will be up to seven points ahead of Liverpool, and with four games left in the league, it will be really difficult for Liverpool and the rest of Arsenal and Chelsea to catch up, especially with the rest of Manchester City's trophies out and focused on the league.
Of course, if Liverpool win, they will be down to just one point, and such a gap is very likely for Liverpool to complete the final comeback this season, while Arsenal and Chelsea are also theoretically possible.
The spotlight battle captured the attention of hundreds of millions of viewers around the world, and at the same time, the match was a thrill for fans.
A total of five goals were scored, and it was a standard head-to-head battle. In the end, Liverpool, who were at home to the advantage, had the upper hand and had the last laugh. Three to two, beating mighty Manchester City at Anfield. Among them, Suarez and Sturridge each scored a goal, Gerrard hit a penalty kick, and teenager Raheem Sterling scored a brace in the assist.
It can be said that Liverpool played a very rhythmic game in this game, whether it was a sharp attack or a tacit three-line cooperation. And the two points are that the trident in the front field has its own harvest and blooms more.
City were also very tenacious, having twice equalised from two downs, only to die in Suarez's stunner
With this stunner, Suarez was also voted the best player of the match.
This season, he was banned for biting Ivanovic last season, and Suarez, who didn't come out until he played six rounds in the league, became a blockbuster as soon as he came out, and then he was out of control ever since.
In the 34th round of the league, the Uruguayan striker played a total of 26 league games and scored 27 goals for Liverpool in the league, with an average of one goal per game.
The 27-goal count is also Lee Zihan, who is chasing 29 goals, and ranks second in the Premier League's scorer list, and is well ahead of teammate Sturridge with only 20 goals in third place, and Manchester City's midfielder metronome and core Yaya Toure with 18 goals in fourth place.
This season, Lee Zihan, Luis Suarez and La Liga's Diego Costa have become the most popular strikers in Europe, even beating Chris Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, even though they have scored about the same number of goals as the three strikers
But these two pairs of enemies have been famous all over the world for a long time, so it is not surprising that they have such a state and number jù, and when they do not have such a number jù will be surprised after the media around the world will be surprised.
So for the three people who suddenly appeared, Li Zihan, Suarez and Diego Costa, it is obvious that the media is paying more attention to these three
Before the Arsenal game even started, the whole Arsenal team already knew the outcome of this key battle.
It is not known whether it was stimulated by Manchester City's defeat or the fact that the main core was well rested, but Arsenal beat each other by three goals at the Emirates Stadium against the Hammers.
Li Zihan scored twice, and Wilshere was also the icing on the cake, Ozil also completed a hat-trick of assists after giving Li Zihan and Wilshere assists successively, and Cazorla, who returned to Arsenal's main lineup, had an assist in the account
At the end of the round, the top four teams in the league had all won, with Chelsea beating Swansea 1-0 away, perhaps because Swansea were ninth in the league, not below 10 in the second half, so Chelsea did not give them points
On the other hand, Manchester United, who have almost swapped places with Liverpool in the table this season, won again in the league with a 3-1 win over Hull City, and it seems that United have won all of the league games since David Moyes' departure
As Ryan Giggs' first home game as interim manager, it was only natural that United fans treated him with the highest courtesy. Before the kick-off, when Ryan Giggs came in. Tens of thousands of Red Devils fans shouted in unison: "Ryan Giggs, real Red Devils!" slogan.
This also makes the corners of the eyes of this man who is close to the age of not being confused moist.
After this round of league games, Arsenal can finally take it a little easier. Because their next game will not arrive until a few days away, Wenger also took advantage of this time to give the team a day off to relieve the tense players a little.
Of course, when he disbanded, he inevitably gave a word of advice to his players. If he finds out that his body or training attitude is slackened during the training the day after tomorrow, he will die!
No one dares to ignore such a threat or turn a deaf ear to it. Don't you see that Podolsky, who has few opportunities now, is a good example?
The consensus is that Podolski is now getting fewer chances, and that his form has slipped due to an injury in the winter, and he was sent to the cold by the professor after Arsene Wenger gave him some chances, and Porti failed to take them.
In fact, this is only one of the reasons, one of the most important factors why Podolski is rarely deployed by Professor Wenger in the starting line-up now, and even has so little time on the bench, is because he went clubbing with Giroud during his recuperation and then was often distracted in training and did not take his attitude seriously
Wenger is still very strict with his players, and Wenger has been angry with him several times about Wilshere's smoking problem, so Wenger is naturally very unhappy about Podolski, who doesn't care about his body to fool around in this situation, especially after he specifically told Podolski
In some ways, Arsene Wenger is also a stubborn old man, so Podolski is tragic.
As for his co-offender Olivier Giroud, he also received some punishments, although he had more chances than Podolski, but he still had a lot less than the first half of the season. At the same time, Wenger asked him to play, in addition to rotating Li Zihan to give him time to rest, there is also the need for tactical arrangement.
The only reliable high school strikers at Arsenal are Olivier Giroud and Podolski, who can make a cameo, and after Porti is destined to be sent to the cold palace, Giroud has of course become the only option.
As for Bendtner and Sanogo, Wenger sees them as unreliable.
Most people rested, but Li Zihan couldn't. As the hottest player in the current Arsenal camp in form and fame, there are many companies that want to do business with him.
And behind a Li Zihan represents China's market of 1.3 billion people, as well as Asia's huge coffers.
In the morning, Li Zihan attended Puma Sporting Goods' press conference about next season's Arsenal jersey.
As Arsenal's new shirt provider, it was only natural that Puma would tailor their style of shirt for Arsenal.
This time, the first to be released are the shirts of the first and second away games, and the second away shirt is naturally the main tone of Arsenal's yellow, spliced with a little dark blue, and the neckline is designed to be a round neckline.
The second away kit is a black and light blue striped design, and the neckline is a button-down polo shirt style.
In fact, the jersey does not change much from season to season, but there are some changes in the details, or the change in the eyes of the second away jersey, and other changes are not big, especially for giants like Arsenal. The red home jersey and the yellow away jersey have become a memory in the hearts of fans, so they generally do not change.
But Puma couldn't just change the details and style, and as a first-time collaboration with Arsenal, they certainly wanted to come up with something different and innovative.
So this time, Arsenal's jersey is designed to be tight-fitting and at first glance looks like a yoga suit or a gymnastics suit.
Li Zihan looked like many netizens wanted to complain at first glance, but after trying it on, he was full of praise for this jersey.
