Chapter 516: Striving for Excellence
The difference between a superstar and an excellent star is that a superstar has a strong ability to adjust mentally, and when he realizes that he has some problems, he can successfully correct himself in the shortest possible time; In the first half of the game, Xiao Qing did waste a few chances, and he was not active enough in the first half of the game. In the second half of the game, Xiao Qing's crazy outburst helped Arsenal score five goals in a row, and Xiao Qing, who completed a hat trick, also helped Arsenal have the last laugh in the London derby in this game.
And the superstar, you never know how he's going to play in the next moment; Their strength is certain, and that is the basis on which they have reached a very high level. It's also common for these superstars to have a sudden stroke of genius on the pitch, and they may sometimes play out of the ordinary, but more often than not, they can make a splash in the game. Sneak attack on Cech, Xiao Qing showed his different way of attacking in this game!
The confrontation between Arsenal and Chelsea is not a "London derby" in the traditional sense. Due to its vast territory, London's derby complex tends to distinguish between things and things, such as the north London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal, or the west London derby between Chelsea and Queen's Park Rangers.
The first time the two teams met in history was in 1907, when Arsenal were not called Arsenal, but Woolwich Arsenal, and the two teams won 2-1 against Chelsea for the first time. However, in those long years, the Arsenal was undoubtedly the more powerful party; In 1934, Arsenal beat Chelsea 5-2 away, setting a record for the two sides. And in the 77 years since the fight was beaten by Arsenal Haibian. Chelsea have never scored five goals in a row at home to the Gunners. But at Stamford Bridge today. The Blues became the club's all-time sinners as they conceded six goals and set a new record of humiliating slaughter at the hands of Arsenal.
Arsene Wenger will certainly be happy when Arsenal beat Chelsea six times at Stamford Bridge for the first time in 77 years, but the professor also pointed out in his post-match press conference that the scoreline was a sign that both teams were not doing well defensively. The game was a little out of control.
Arsene Wenger said: "Overall, I'm not particularly happy, but I have to say that I can only praise my team. We didn't see disappointment on the pitch and we always kept going. We knew we needed to get a win here, we kept going and won the game. Overall, I think Chelsea have a good team and show great spirit when it was 2-1 after half-time. It's hard to come back, but we rose in the second half. ”
This victory is undoubtedly historic. But Arsene Wenger doesn't think there's anything to brag about. 'We've changed half of the team, we're not the best team in the league right now, at least that's how it behaves in the standings, we have to find a way to rebuild, we've changed a lot this summer; We want to play a more holistic kind of football and make you stronger and win every game. But we also have to be humble and keep working hard, which is important to make up for some of the losses in the league because we are in a good position at the moment and we haven't conceded too many points. We have shown that this victory should make us more confident. ”
Terry's fall "saved" the London derby. His slip to give Van Persie a one-on-one goal, and also "sent" Stamford Bridge's first five-goal goal conceded in a single game since 1989. Stamford Bridge was a fortress during Jose Mourinho's tenure, and it is no wonder that the collision between the two would be as ugly as a "-stirring stick" when they met Benitez, who was also good at utilitarian football. With Chelsea and Arsenal in a high-profile shootout, Arsenal fans may be tempted to say, 'This is the best Gunners game I've ever seen in my life'. There may be inaccuracies, but this game is really big for Arsenal.
In 1953, Chelsea suffered their biggest defeat in history to Wolverhampton; The last time they were conceded five times at home was in 1934, and the last time they conceded five goals in a single league game at home was in 1989, when they were still known as 'League One'. And this game was a clean conceded six goals in a row, and Chelsea lost a game completely, which is definitely a humiliating game for Chelsea, and it is the biggest blow to Chelsea. The iron-blooded Blues are so disgraced, it's very simple, if their defense doesn't change fundamentally, let alone compete for the championship, the task of "protecting the fourth" has become extremely difficult!
Xiao Qing and Robin van Persie each scored hat-tricks, and Xiao Qing is also far ahead of the league scorer list, although Manchester City have been exceptionally strong in attack this season, although they now continue to occupy the top position in the standings; However, the Gunners have clearly started their push for the league leaders at this point, their fighting power has returned, and Arsenal will now be even more competitive, and they have managed to return to third place in the table. For Arsenal, perhaps the 10th round is their chance, as it is the Manchester derby between Manchester City and Manchester United, the top two teams in the table, which is also a battle for the top two unbeaten teams.
Now is the time for the Gunners to sit back and relax, with Gunners Arsenal hosting Stoke City; The Emirates Stadium welcomes Arsenal in their 100th Premier League game and now is a good time for them to move up the table if they win at home. For Arsenal, although Stoke City is good, Arsenal at home is still more sure to win the game.
Stoke have lost all of their games to Arsenal since promotion to the Premier League in '08 and they have the Europa League to play soon, so it will certainly not be an easy thing to meet Arsenal at this time. Although Stoke City's classic long-pass rush tactics seem to pose some threat to the technical flow of Arsenal, the winner can only be Arsenal!
Xiao Qing and his teammates are in a very good mood right now, and they have achieved a crazy victory against Chelsea, which also made Arsenal instantly raise their morale to the peak; The league is about to reach the tenth round, but Arsenal have not been able to reach the top of the table in the process, which is indeed a big blow for the defending champions, Manchester City has performed really well this season, at least at the beginning of the new season, Mancini's team has performed extremely well and consistently, they really have enough quality to fight for the league title.
Although Arsenal had a sluggish start to the new season, Arsenal are now on six consecutive league wins, and they have fought their way up to the top, and they finally have a chance to win the league top spot at this time. And for Arsenal, they are now something to be proud of and proud of, having won a crazy big game against the direct rivals of the league title, which is the pinnacle of Arsenal's strength during the six-game winning streak!
A big win, a strong winning streak, which also made Arsenal return to the ranks of the most championship-looking teams; For Arsenal, losing to Liverpool and drawing with Manchester United are all in the past; With a frantic 6-2 thrashing of Chelsea, Chelsea proved that they can not only win against teams that are not as strong as themselves, but also against teams of similar strength.
Although there were a lot of fluctuations in the summer, although it was a bit sluggish at the beginning of the new season; But it doesn't matter, Arsenal may have started a little late, but when they start to develop, their competitors have to be careful, because Arsenal are really strong, because Arsenal can beat any opponent and they are getting better and better.
Maybe a 6-2 victory is a bit of luck, but I have to admit that in such a game there is also a reflection of Arsenal's strength. Luck is part of the reason for winning in a strong conversation, but when you can score six goals in a game, it's not just about luck.
The Gunners are confident and they are happy with the team's performance during this period; In the league, with a wave of six consecutive wins, he returned to the first group of the league strongly, and in the Champions League group stage, he easily won three consecutive wins, basically locking up the qualification and the first place in the group. At this time, the Arsenal players have no reason not to be happy with the results they have achieved, and although the Arsenal players have created a very good result, they are not satisfied with the current results because they want to do better, because they think the team can perform better and be more competitive.
Arsenal are aiming to defend their title in the league and in the Champions League, and they hope to succeed in this season as the supreme third in a row, and they hope to create a dynasty of their own. Now that Arsenal are back on track, they are now more and more competitive; This is great news for Arsenal because they are able to go full speed at this time and aim higher at this time. For Arsenal, the results are good at the moment, but they should strive for more excellence and excellence! (To be continued......)
