Chapter 375: There is no end to scandals

In the end, neither side was able to find the back of the net and Arsenal drew 0-0 at home to their 'explosive' neighbours Chelsea.

For Chelsea, this is an expected result and at the same time acceptable.

But for Arsenal, it was a bit of a pity, and they originally wanted to take advantage of the hearty draw against Manchester City in the last round to win this game. I didn't expect it to be the same result as the previous round, it was a draw.

Fortunately, there is still a point to be taken in the draw, so now Arsenal is temporarily ahead of Liverpool by one point and continues to sit on the leader's throne.

For Arsenal, though, the draw was a bit of a mistake. Because Li Zihan's far-post swept the goal with a half-volley, after repeated slow-motion broadcasts by major media and TV after the game, there was no problem.

If this goal had been scored by Arsenal, I believe the outcome of the game would have been completely different. Sixty per cent of games in which Arsenal have taken the lead have managed to get the three points

And Wenger, of course, could not just let the referee go after the game, and the various criticisms at the press conference were not soft at all. Although Wenger's personality is not the kind of person who is aggressive or biting, this game is too important for Arsenal, so there is no "laziness" under his mouth!

Angry Arsenal fans are on the blacklist of the linesman who will be lifted for one of the most unpopular missions at the Emirates Stadium.

And Arsenal officials are even tougher, in addition to openly questioning the ability and fairness of the referee in the media and on the official website. Also in a number of statistics on the official website, Li Zihan's personal league goal of 15 goals was changed to 15 (+1) goals. Then, in the team's total goals and goal difference, it is also expressed as (+1) and (-1).

The FA was also quite tough after the game, and their mentality has always been "I can hang my child, but if you dare to understand my child, I will let you know why the flowers are so red!" mentality.

So internally, they punished the linesman on duty, of course, this punishment is not heavy, it is nothing more than a few games of suspension or something. But for Arsenal, three points are still one point, there is no fundamental change, and there is no possibility of a replay.

Both the club and Arsene Wenger received fines from the FA, with Arsenal fined £10,000 and Arsene Wenger fined £8,000. As for the reason, everyone knows.

However, the FA still showed mercy, and in the past, it was no problem for the manager to be suspended for two or three games. But this time only fined money and did not stop the game, which shows that the FA is actually a little weak-hearted

So the club honestly paid the fine immediately, but the criticism still has no intention of "closing its mouth".

Arsenal have a reason to do so because the draw cost them are too great. After Li Zihan went off the field with an injury, when the game was about to enter injury time, Arsenal made a very threatening attack, Wilshere was violated by the opponent, and then fell to the ground.

After diagnosing the injury, the team doctor carried Wilshere off the field on a stretcher, and then the siren of the ambulance outside the field sounded a second time.

After Theo Walcott announced the reimbursement of the season, Arsenal lost two big players in a row in one game. This is undoubtedly worse for Arsenal.

So for the result of this game, and the goal that Li Zihan was misjudged, Arsenal will be much more angry.

However, the successive injuries of the three people remind people of Arsenal at this stage of every season. It seems that as soon as the winter transfer period arrives, Arsenal will have a large number of injuries.

Isn't there a poem in the market that describes Arsenal like this: "Buy the universe in July, sell the captain in August, the most complete in September, the fifth champion in October, the eleventh is hopeful, the goal is long in twelve, all injuries are in January, the Champions League in February, the middle stream in March, the fifth place in April, the semi-finals in May, you can play in the play-offs, the whole team is beaming, breathing a long sigh of relief, ready to sell the captain." ”

Although there is no captain to sell this summer, the most complete battle in September and the buy universe in July have appeared, and there are still a few days until January, and soon Walcott, Li Zihan, and Wilshere will take a break in a row!

Could it be that this year is going high and low again, and at the end of the season we continue to fight desperately for fourth place?

Arsenal fans couldn't help but have this idea.

But the next day, good news came out. Li Zihan's injury is not big, an ordinary ankle sprain, ten days and half a month of recuperation can be cured, while Wilshere is a little stricter, thigh muscle strain, need to recuperate for about a month, this is still an optimistic estimate

Although Li Zihan will be close to half a month, Wilshere will take a month to return to the game. But compared to the season reimbursement of Little Tiger Walcott, it is really not a big problem.

Wenger finally breathed a sigh of relief, he is now afraid that Wellington's hospital report will say that there is a torn anterior cruciate ligament, if it is this injury, then it will be about the same as Theo Walcott's remaining half of the season, and he has to worry about the state and psychological problems of the players after the injury, which is the big thing.

Wenger wiped his sweat, thinking that it was okay for half a month or something, if he cultivated for seven or eight months, then he would go directly to the kitchen to get a knife and go to the hospital to talk to the doctors about life and ideals

Arsene Wenger was relieved, but the fans were not.

This means that Li Zihan will be absent from the 26th against West Ham, the 29th against Newcastle and the New Year's Day against Sunderland on January 1. The fastest appearance is the game against Aston Villa again on January 12, which is still ideal, if the recovery is not ideal or the state is not good, then it will continue to be pushed back.

Wilshere won't be available until early February at the earliest, and there are plenty of key games in between. It's not that the opposition is strong, but they have to widen the gap with Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City when the European war subsides, as well as the League Cup and FA Cup.

The most crucial competitions of the Carabao Cup and FA Cup are concentrated in January and mid-February, when the European competition has not yet started, and there is time. And for Arsenal, who have not won a title for nine years, even the most frivolous League Cup and FA Cup are quite eager.

And at this critical time, they are absent from the three generals at the same time, which is undoubtedly God does not want them to achieve something in these two championships

And the famous "brick house called the beast" jumped out one after another, saying that if Arsenal wants to make a difference and remain competitive in every competition, they must act in the winter transfer period and strengthen the squad. At the same time, in order to recoup the funds, Vermaelen, who has been in a slump this season, will be sold for cash, and vice-captain Arteta will also be sent away.

At the same time, Barcelona's coveting of Vermaelen is already well known, and Barcelona's throat "World Sports" issued an article saying that Barcelona has sent a letter asking for the price of Vermaelen's transfer

In other words, Arsenal's selling captain mode is about to begin.

At the same time, Li Zihan, a striker who continues to show excellent performance at Arsenal, will be poached by more giants. For example, "Marca" said that Real Madrid has given up the "curve to save the country" Falcao and chose Li Zihan, who is more potential and commercial value, and this winter, Europa's hottest young goalscorer will join Real Madrid.

What he said is clear-eyed, but in Li Zihan's opinion, it is more nonsense, whether Falcao fell to the ground is a "curve to save the country" has to be said, besides, only a guy with a bad head will choose to change the court at this time in his own situation, even if the other party is Real Madrid.

All in all, after the goal was blown out and the media focused on Arsenal for two consecutive days, the second "big drama" in which Arsenal "starred" started again before they had time to "change the protagonist".

Arsene Wenger, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was wrinkled by the media again.

Can't these guys let me worry? Why do you always hold on to your Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, even Everton and Southampton have a lot of material in them, and they forget about Manchester United, the sworn enemy whose life is a thousand times sadder than themselves.

In the 18th round of the league, at the pre-match press conference against the city team West Ham United. Arsene Wenger said he and the coaching staff are in discussions about bringing in a winter signing, and it is not yet convenient to disclose it. But Li Zihan

"Lee is not going anywhere, he is at Arsenal now and his future is at Arsenal! You (the media) can write about other things, such as who is the winner of the World Cup in Brazil, Liverpool has more money to sell Suarez, and Moyes has a few days left in his days at Manchester United, etc., you can write whatever you want, but you don't have to worry about this issue. ”

On the issue of Li Zihan, Wenger is quite tough, this is not the kind of player who wants to sell at a high price and label the player as a "not for sale". It's that Wenger really doesn't want to sell Li Zihan, and Li Zihan is very happy at Arsenal, and he has no other ideas.

Of course, in fact, Thierry Henry, Cesc Fabregas, Van Persie and others Wenger don't want to sell either

And on the same night as Wenger's tough statement, Li Zihan also sent a message on his personal social media site.

"I heard I'm going to Real Madrid? How is it that the whole world knows about it, but only I don't? Am I leaving Arsenal? Hehehe"

The irony can be seen by fools.

Now that the Arsenal and Li Zihan of the parties have made a clear and tough statement, Li Zihan is basically sure that he will not turn back and leave, at least this winter should be unlikely.

It would be "mushy" and meaningless to "fry" this "dish" again, so the media turned their cameras to another giant team in the Premier League, Arsenal's sworn enemy - Manchester United.

So Moyes, who was having a bad time, scolded Wenger over and over again in his heart
