Chapter 583: Back to the Alps!
In the end, the game ended 0-1, Arsenal beat Manchester United at home by a single goal, and Li Zihan scored the only goal of the game.
Although Li Zihan scored the only goal, the best player of the game was not Li Zihan, but Manchester United's Spanish goalkeeper De Gea, who once tried to keep the Red Devils goal, but unfortunately, he met Li Zihan.
And Zhan Jun's sentence "The front court is picturesque, and the back court De Gea!" The famous sentence also spread
Bidding farewell to this match against their sworn enemies, Arsenal will face the Champions League again. In this round of the Champions League group stage, their opponents are Turkish giants Galasatare, but fortunately, they are playing at home in this game.
Considering the team's current physical situation, Wenger did not give a full starting lineup for this round of games, after all, Arsenal have already qualified for the group, and there is really no need to fight the difficult Turks at this time
The FIFA virus and the Asian Cup are enough to bring about Arsenal impact
Arsenal, who came on as a rotation and substitute, were held to a 2-2 draw at home stadium, with Olivier Giroud and Cazorla scoring goals each.
After the Champions League, Arsenal will face the challenge of the league in midweek.
In the thirteenth round of the league, Arsenal played away against West Bromwich Albion, a game that was not difficult for Arsenal, and the team won 2-0, with Li Zihan and Sanchez scoring a goal each.
Next up for Arsenal is the challenge of the Saints Southampton, and it is really difficult for Arsene Wenger to have a mix of main and substitute in this game, and he must make it difficult for Wenger to make the other Arsenal players able to play in this period of time to cope with the days without Li Zihan in January.
After the game, the score was fixed at 1-1 on the big screen at the Emirates Stadium, and former Southampton veteran Theo Walcott scored a goal, which was assisted by Li Zihan.
Arsenal ended their winning streak in the league, which was a relief to Chelsea, Manchester City and other teams looking to compete for the Premier League title, as Arsenal have won 11 of their 13 games since the league began, with two draws remaining, putting considerable pressure on other title contenders.
On December 6, the 15th round of the league will be played by Arsenal against Stoke City, who will travel to the famous Sky City to play away.
So far this season, Sky City have not had a good run of results, finishing fourth from bottom in the league table and just one step away from relegation.
So think about such teams, they often start the relegation battle before the Christmas game.
Everyone knows that Arsenal is not a good game to play, and if Stoke wants to be relegated and not fall into the quagmire of life and death in the later stages, they must go all out to grab points now, and they will definitely beat Arsenal at home.
In fact, it was true, Stoke City were ahead for a while, they scored three goals throughout the game, but Arsenal scored four
Stoke City led twice and then were equalized and overtaken by Arsenal, there was no way, the gap between the two teams was too big in terms of strength.
However, it is not easy for Stoke City to force Arsenal like this, because no non-giant team in the league has scored three goals against Arsenal so far!!
This time it was not the negligence of Arsenal's goalkeeper and defenders, but the opponent's real score, and the opponent's desire to attack was very strong, and it opened Arsenal's defense.
But there is no way, Arsenal have top players such as Li Zihan, Sanchez, and Ozil, although these three did not play the full 90 minutes of the game, but it is enough for Stoke City to drink a pot.
After the end of this round of the league, Li Zihan still played 14 games in 15 rounds of the league, scored 13 goals and scored 10 assists.
The likes of Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie, Sergio Aguero, Eden Hazard and Diego Costa are far from him, and the only suspense is whether these stars will be able to catch up in the month when Li Zihan goes to the Asian Cup.
After leaving Stoke City in the sky, the Arsenal team departed for Italy after a day's rest.
They will next face the final round of this season's Champions League group stage and away to Serie A giants Juventus.
After five rounds of playing in the group stage, Arsenal won four and drew one, accumulating 13 points. With such results, they have already qualified from this group in advance, while Juventus has three wins, one draw and one loss to get ten points, and they have also qualified from this group together, and the third place is the Turkish giants Galasahare, who have reported to the League Cup one round in advance, and the bottom is the Belgian giants Anderlecht. Such a ranking is not unexpected, in fact, everyone thought of this possibility when this group came out.
The only thing worth watching is whether Galasatare can pull Juventus down and allow the Turkish team to advance to the next round. It's not out of the question, Juventus haven't done well in the Champions League over the years, they didn't qualify for the UEFA Cup last season, and it's worth mentioning that it was Galasatare who killed them at that time.
However, it is a pity that the fans of other teams did not see it as a joke for Juventus, and "Uncle Allegri" is indeed one of the toughest managers!
When such a ranking comes out, the final sixth round of matches will be relatively irrelevant, because even if Juventus kill Arsenal in the final round, they will only have 13 points equal with Arsenal, unless they kill the opponent by a large margin
Obviously this is unrealistic, after five rounds of group games, Arsenal have scored a frenzied twelve, but only conceded two, and have a goal difference of ten
It can be seen how strong Arsenal's attacking power is now, and nine of these twelve goals have been scored away from home, and the title of "away madness" is still in place this season.
And what about Juventus? They have only scored six goals, conceded four goals and have a goal difference of just two.
In other words, if Juventus want to win the group, they must win 9-0 at home, with a minimum of nine goals to win
You have to know that they are facing Arsenal, and Juventus' attack is their weakness, compared to this likelihood, obviously compared to this, Juventus is more likely to win the Champions League
And on the other side, the result of Galasatare and Anderlecht will not affect the final standings.
So this last round of games has almost no impact on the current Champions League, and everyone thinks that everyone will tacitly arrange rotations and substitutes for such a game. One is to save strength and prepare for the league, and the other is to train other players.
But when the starting line-up for Juventus' game against Arsenal came out, everyone was taken by surprise.
On the Juventus side, goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, centre-back partners Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini, and Barzagli is still recovering from injury. Asamoah and Lissteiner remained on the flanks, with Pirlo, Vidal, Marchisio and Andreas Pereira in midfield, and Tevez partnering Alvaro Morata up front.
This is undoubtedly the main game, even the team's brain veteran Andrea Pirlo did not take a turn to rest, and it can be seen that Juventus is almost bound to win this game. Maybe they didn't want to go over and fight Arsenal for the top spot in the group, after all, that was unrealistic.
However, they are likely to want to beat Arsenal in this game and get 13 points equal with Arsenal to boost the morale of the team.
At the same time, Juventus lost 3-0 away to Arsenal in the first round of the group stage, so they are still angry, and they want to save face in this game, so they play with all their might!
It's just that when Arsenal announced the starting list, everyone was stunned.
Colombian Ospina was on goal, Koscielny and Hevedes were in central defence, and on the flanks were young man Gibbs and former Southampton youngster Chambers, who had just joined the club. At the back is Pogba's partner Ramsey, on the attacking line are Li Zihan, Mesut Ozil and Sanchez, and the center forward in front is French center Olivier Giroud.
It's also an all-out squad, with the only changes being that Koscielny's place used to belong to Medsart, Chambers' place to Academy youngster Bellerin and Olivier Giroud's place to England striker Harry Kane.
However, Koscielny and the two German centre-backs themselves do not have the concept of who is the main player and who is the substitute, and according to the different fitness, form and tactics, the three often play in partnership with each other, and only Nkuru often plays as a substitute.
And Chambers is just not angry, so he was given a position by youth youngster Bellerin.
As for the centre-forward Olivier Giroud, before Harry Kane did not rise, he was the main centre-forward that Arsenal could not play.
As soon as the starting lineups of the two sides were revealed, everyone sighed that this was the rhythm of fighting bayonets.
This is one of the highlights, and the second attraction is of course the return of Li Zihan and Pogba to the Alpine Arena (Juventus Stadium), which is the first time that the two have returned to their old club after leaving Juventus.
Especially Pogba, he just left on the front foot and came back on the back foot As for Li Zihan, he has been away for a season.
From Juventus fans' discrimination and contempt for Li Zihan to the final cry, he is the heir to Juventus stars such as Del Piero and Baggio and Trezeguet!
But as soon as such a call appeared, Li Zihan left Juventus
And at the beginning, Li Zihan and Pogba can be described as the twin stars of Juventus, known as the cornerstone of the rise of Juventus, a century-old giant, but the foundation of this pair of friends and cornerstones are in Arsenal's camp this season
