Chapter 38: Arsenal's undefeated golden body
Xiao Qing is indeed very weak-minded, even if such a thing is not uncommon, but in the final analysis, it is indeed a little immoral, so it is impossible for Xiao Qing to be tough at this time. At this time, although Arsenal did not express any opinion on Wenger's matter at all, seeing Wenger's already deep wrinkles at this moment, I think Wenger has a headache these days.
Although Arsene Wenger's unexpected news has brought everyone stunned, but the game still has to go on, and now Arsenal still needs to continue to work hard to win every game in the new season, although Arsenal is now out of the group and has achieved a very good result in the league, but if they want to get better, then they need to continue to win in the next games.
Although Arsene Wenger is in the mistress goal, the 11th round of the Premier League continues to kick in, with Arsenal taking on Newcastle at the Emirates Stadium. Ten days ago, Arsenal had just beaten Newcastle 4-0 in the Carabao Cup, and Arsenal were the better team in that game.
Cesc Fabregas returned from injury, Sania, Koscielny, Alexander Song and Chamak returned to the starting line-up, with Robin van Persie making a surprise appearance on the bench for his first return to the squad since suffering an ankle injury at the end of August. Newcastle have offered a double-high combination of Ameobi and Carroll, and it looks like they are looking to storm Arsenal's defence.
goalkeeper Fabianski; From right to left, Sagna, Koscielny, Squeerraci and Clichy in the back line; midfielder Alexander Song, midfield attackers Theo Walcott, Cesc Fabregas, Nasri; Twin strikers Xiao Qing and Chamak.
Newkars' goalkeeper Krul; Simpson, Colocchini, Williamson, Enrique at the back; midfielders Barton, Diote, Nolan, Gutiérrez; Twin strikers Carroll and Ameobi.
Both sides started the game with a more defensive focus, with both teams just more tentative on the offensive end. None of them rushed to attack at the very beginning of the game.
Sixth minute. Arsenal hit back quickly and Nasri delivered a clever pass. Theo Walcott used his speed to get away from the Newcastle defence, but the Newcastle goalkeeper came out early to get the ball in. In the 11th minute, Coloccini brought down Theo Walcott head-on, and Arsenal won a free-kick from 25 yards out that Fabregas fired straight at goal, but the ball bounced off the wall and hit the crossbar, and Newcastle goalkeeper Krul barely lifted the ball off the line. The corner was driven from Nasri to the back post and Cesc Fabregas' right-footed shot from 12 yards out was cleared by Newcastle midfielder Nolan.
After a tentative attack, Arsenal began to slowly increase the intensity of their attack. The Gunners are also increasingly dominating the game, and they are still confident against Newkarls.
In the eighteenth minute, Cesc Fabregas broke away from Diot and burst into the right side of the penalty area, turning and hitting the goal from six yards out but Williamson blocked the bottom line. In the 23rd minute, Clichy tackled Gutierrez and received the first yellow card. In the 32nd minute, Newcastle midfielder Diotla also received a yellow card for Fabregas. In the 35th minute, Nasri was tackled by Manchester United veteran Simpson and injured, and Arshavin began to warm up.
Then the game really came alive. In the 39th minute, Arsenal counter-attacked in front, and Nasri handed the ball to Xiao Qing who was inserted on the right side of the penalty area. Xiao Qing's right-footed shot from close range was cleared out of bounds by the opposing defender Enrique. The ensuing corner was cleared out of the box and Walcott picked up the ball in front of the side. Cesc Fabregas knocked down the right and then knocked down the middle, and Xiao Qing's right-footed shot from 12 yards out was saved by Newcastle goalkeeper Krul.
At the end of the first half, Sagna infringed on Gutierrez, Newcastle midfielder Barton sent a free-kick, the ball was not fast, not as good as the Bestian arc, at this time Fabianski either made a decisive attack to hold or hit the ball away, or honestly guarded his city and waited for the defender to solve the problem. But Fabianski did not choose one or the other, but chose to go off the beaten path and hesitate to attack, not only hindering the defenders from competing for the ball, but also giving Carroll a chance to complete a fatal blow before him; Fabianski came out to get the ball but didn't notice Carroll, who was six yards out and jumped high to head the ball into the empty net!
Since Lehmann's farewell to Arsenal, both Almunia and Fabianski have been embarrassed, and the hidden danger of the goalkeeper position will not be cleared for a day, and Arsenal will look trembling if they want to achieve better results this season.
Newkarls took the lead at the Emirates Stadium as they were 1-0 ahead of Premier League leaders Arsenal at half-time; The role of Newcastles' two strikers up front really can't be underestimated, and their terrifying power and speed are a huge blow to an already thin Arsenal backline.
Fabianski and Koscielny, Arsenal's most consistent backline partners since the start of the season, have their own qualities, but their weaknesses are as prominent as their strengths, and the former's old problem of making mistakes is like poison. The addiction is too weak, and the weakness of the two main defenders occasionally erupts, as in this game, which is a torture for Arsenal.
Being led by Newkars, which did make Arsenal's players a little depressed; This is due to the excellent individual quality of the Newkars strikers, but also to the fact that the Arsenal players have not had enough rest in recent games. As for conceding goals, the Gunners don't care about that; There is no team that does not concede a goal, not even the top defensive powerhouse, let alone a team like Arsenal that is not known for not defending.
For the Gunners, all they have to do now is step up their attack in the second half, and they will need to try for an equaliser in the second half. Although they are now down by one goal, the Arsenal players have no panic, and they believe that the team can equalize or even reverse in the second half of the game; Arsenal's players are full of confidence, they are getting stronger and stronger, Arsenal are in great form and they are certainly confident of breaking down Newkars' goal to make another improvement in the table.
In the second half, the battle was renewed. In the 47th minute, Walcott's cross from the wing bounced off Williamson and smashed on the crossbar! A minute later, Walcott burst into the right side of the box with the ball and hit the crossbar again with a powerful right-footed shot from 12 yards out!
The depressed Walcott really needs to communicate with Xiao Qing and the ball frame, this unlucky little tiger continues to concentrate on the door frame, which really can't be described as just unlucky, this is really blood mold!
In the 51st minute, Alexander Song dribbled the ball to the bottom line and knocked on the goal, and Simpson broke the ball before Xiao Qing. Arsene Wenger made a substitution in the 56th minute, Arshavin and Van Persie replaced Nasri and Chamak respectively, and the Arsenal fans burst into thunderous applause, which is not only the expectation of Van Persie's return, but also the hope that the team can get help from Van Persie at this time.
In the 64th minute, Arsenal's quick counter-attack was combined by Van Persie and Arshavin in the middle, the latter went straight to Xiao Qing in the box but was intercepted by a defender. Although the attack did not work out this time, Van Persie looks to be in good form at the moment, which also gives the Gunners fans more confidence.
Although Van Persie's return to the stadium can indeed bring a lot of help to the team, to be honest, Xiao Qing now also knows that the team's situation is really bad; Newkars have fully retracted their defence and it is really not easy for Arsenal to force the attack and score goals. Especially now that the game is less than half an hour away, Arsenal need a goal to equalize if they want to remain unbeaten.
Xiao Qing really can't back down at this time, he just thought about replicating the legend of winning the undefeated championship in the league, but now it is absolutely unacceptable to be immediately ended by Newkars Such a beautiful fantasy. So Xiao Qing wants to score, Arsenal can't lose at this time!
Xiao Qing is working hard to pursue goals, and Xiao Qing needs to help the team continue to maintain a strong forward momentum in the league; Although the current situation of Arsenal is not very good, Xiao Qing still maintains enough confidence. As long as Xiao Qing is given a chance, he believes that he can grasp it; Even if he doesn't have a chance, Xiao Qing believes that he can create opportunities in the game to help the team get out of the predicament.
In the 83rd minute of the game, the atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium was a little anxious, and the game time was running out, and the Gunners fans at this time were a little worried that Arsenal's unbeaten golden body would be ended at home.
At this time, Xiao Qing, who retreated, got the ball, although Xiao Qing was forced by Newcastle midfielder Barton with outstanding defensive ability at the first time; But Xiao Qing, who lowered his head, firmly controlled the ball at his feet, and Xiao Qing, who was bent on stabilizing the ball, made Barton have no chance to steal at all.
When Barton was a little rash to steal, Xiao Qing gently flicked the ball and jumped directly in front of the goal, and Van Persie, who came on as a substitute, seized this opportunity; Robinman's clever cushion shot in front of goal broke Newcastle goalkeeper Krul's finger pass and Arsenal equalised in the final moments of the game through substitute Robin van Persie.
Van Persie was celebrating frantically, and Xiao Qing was relieved; Although it is a bit regrettable not to win the game, it is only the second draw since the new season for Arsenal, and Arsenal's lead in the league table is still relatively obvious, and Arsenal are still unbeaten!
