"Welcome to St Andrews! The final game of the 2004-2005 English Premier League will be played today, with the final 10 of the 380 exciting matches to be played at the same time! In this season, we have witnessed the cultivation of a new generation of the former hegemon Manchester United, the revival of the Reds and Liverpool in Europe, the sudden rise of the upstart Chelsea in London, and the unstoppable strength of the beautiful Arsenal!

After 37 rounds of battles, Arsenal and Chelsea are tied on 94 points, Arsenal are at the top of the table with 11 goal difference, and in the final game, Arsenal only need to win the game at St Andrews to lift the league trophy!

As a team that scores more than 100 goals in a season, almost every week to contribute a top five goals, and is definitely ranked in the top three in the top 10 goals every month, if they are convincing to win the title, they have already set a record for the most goals in a Premier League season!

And it shouldn't be a surprise if Chelsea come back to win the Premier League with Arsenal in the final moments, as Chelsea have seen us witness the best defence in the Premier League this season, and if they don't concede too many goals at St James' Park today, they will break a Premier League record: the fewest goals conceded in a season!

Interestingly, the record holder for the fewest goals conceded in a season was none other than Arsenal in the 98/99 season! In 38 games that season, Arsenal conceded just 17 goals to their opponents.

And that season, Arsenal were runners-up, with one point less than Manchester United, and I wonder if it will be a historic cycle when the Premier League curtain comes down today, with the fewest goals conceded on record. The team that defends the best. But he didn't win the championship! ”

The race is on. Arsene Wenger joined Birmingham City boss Bruce on the sidelines.

If it were Arsenal and Manchester United competing for the title today, Birmingham would definitely be more active, because their manager Bruce is a veteran of the Red Devils, a disciple of Alex Ferguson, and a former captain.

And the only mental pillar of Birmingham's sniper against Arsenal today is not wanting to see Arsenal lift the trophy at St Andrews!

With the exception of striker Fassell looking for a counter-attacking opportunity in front, the rest of the Birmingham players shrank into their own half to chase down Arsenal's attack.

Qin Xiong's position is on the premise little by little, starting to control the field from the middle and back courts, and then slowly advancing. In the end, after the team was moving smoothly and rhythmically, he stayed at the front waistline.

Today, Arsenal's tactics were relatively simple, using fast and smooth team passes, Qin Xiong in the middle and in the middle of the front and back, and Vieira in the back to create a long-range opportunity.

At least that's how they played after the start of the game.

Bergkamp, Robin van Persie and Ljungberg were the fulcrum of the trio up front, and they didn't break through and tried to get the ball out as much as they could, with Ashley Cole and Flamini, who played at right wing-back today, also stepping forward to play at the back of the wing.

There was no big offensive in Birmingham. When there is only one point for Faulsel to be wary of, it is relatively easy for Silva Toure Campbell's defensive triangle to block him.

8th minute of the game. Bergkamp turned the ball back, Qin Xiong faced the attack between Dunn and Anderton and knocked the ball through the crack, Vieira stepped forward and blasted the ball towards the goal with a heavy long-range shot, goalkeeper Taylor bravely blocked the ball, Van Persie followed up in the box and was blocked by defender Upson with his body.

In the 14th minute, Ashley Cole and Van Persie cooperated on the side, Van Persie crossed the ball on the side, Qin Xiong stepped forward to meet the ball and shot directly with his feet, the football hit the side netting, and his left-footed shot was still far from the accuracy of the right-footed shot.

In the 17th minute, Vieira intercepted successfully in the middle and launched a counterattack on the spot, and in the process of moving forward, Qin Xiong collided with him against the wall, and in front of the penalty area, Vieira shot from a distance again, and the football hit the crossbar and bounced.

Birmingham have been thrilled in defending for almost 20 minutes.

Arsenal's overall coordination was clear and fluid, and they were skilful at simple play in small areas, while their long-range shots were tingling their scalps, and no one could predict whether their next shot would be missed.

In order to curb Arsenal's long-range shots, Birmingham knew that the back line could not be pressed forward, and if they wanted to compress Arsenal's long-range shooting space in front of the penalty area in this way, it would inevitably lead to a larger space behind the back line and be penetrated by Arsenal!

So they resorted to foul tactics.

Disrupting Arsenal's possession in the dangerous zone in front of the penalty area is just an ideal idea.

Arsenal's individual possession was evident and it was so difficult to get the ball off their feet cleanly, so much so that their foul gave Arsenal a direct free-kick in front of the box.

In the 27th minute of the game, Qin Xiong stood in the middle of the penalty area, he ran to take a free kick, and although the arc ball aimed at the upper right corner of the goal bypassed the human wall, the inner arc was not big enough, and finally the football slid out.

Three minutes later, Qin Xiong once again stood in front of the football, which is a left-hand position in front of the penalty area, which is very conducive to the play of right-footed players, and the distance between the football and the goal is also moderate.

More than half of the stands were Arsenal fans, who stared at Qin Xiong expectantly, and Qin Xiong's eyes shone with determination.

Run-up, shoot!

The moment his straight right foot pulled up the football, Qin Xiong's heart was full of confidence.

Birmingham's wall of men blocking the goal near the post angle jumped together in tacit agreement.

Upson's eyes looked above his head, he felt the football speeding over his head, and when his body began to fall, he turned his head to look, he didn't see the goal, only saw a group of fans in Arsenal shirts in the stands behind the goal whose arms began to rise, and the expressions on different faces were wonderful, excited, wild, excited, joyful!

Rumble!

Goalkeeper Taylor turned his head to look to his right, cold sweat flowing.

He didn't move, and when the ball flew over the wall and into the goal, few goalkeepers would make a save, because theoretically the angle on that side was blocked by the wall, and the goalkeeper was responsible for the angle of the shot that was exposed on the other side.

The soccer ball rolls inside the goal!

"Arsenal have scored! Qin Xiong helps Arsenal open the scoring! Again! In the absence of Henry and Pire, Qin Xiong scored in four consecutive Premier League games! And it was the crucial first goal! If Arsenal can win the championship, Qin Xiong will inevitably be the biggest contributor to Arsenal's success in defending the title this season! He has 16 Premier League goals and 34 Premier League assists, and he has been directly involved in nearly 50% of Arsenal's goals! Oh, my God! The comments on Fleet Street are just shit! Qin Xiong is already the top star of the Premier League! He definitely is, he doesn't need to rely on time to prove anymore, I believe he will get stronger and stronger in the future!
