Chapter 21: Suppressing the Opponent

The Gunners were in a good mood and after learning the lesson of their previous poor performance in the game due to carelessness, the Gunners readjusted their mentality and set off again. They all want to be able to achieve more results, and they can't afford to be complacent about some of the victories they have so far; So now the Gunners are starting to forget about their results last season, and they are also temporarily forgetting about the string of wins in the new season, because now is not the time to be happy, and they still need to continue to be in good form.

After eliminating Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup, Arsenal won all seven games in the main season of the new season, including five consecutive league wins and a big win in the Champions League group stage. It can be said that the current Arsenal is really proud of their capital, and their record in the new season is really good.

However, although Arsenal have won five consecutive league games, they are still unable to move further in the league table, as Chelsea are also strong to win five in a row, and Arsenal are still in second place in the table due to the disadvantage in goal difference. Chelsea broke the deadlock in the fifth round of the league with Kalou, before Malouda scored twice and Didier Drogba made it 4-0 as leaders Chelsea hosted promoted horses Blackpool; The Blues have scored 21 goals in five games since the start of the new season, averaging more than four goals per game, and their attacking firepower still looks better than Arsenal's, and Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea are now really bursting with terrifying energy in attack.

In the fifth round of the English Premier League, Manchester United, who sat at Old Trafford, relied on Beba's hat-trick to defeat Liverpool 3-2; Liverpool are winless away from home in the league this season, with only five points after five games, while Manchester United have not been able to win them all. However, they are also unbeaten with three wins and two draws. Manchester United, who now have 11 points, sit third in the table, closely behind both Arsenal and Chelsea.

And Manchester City's team Wigan Athletic and Tottenham Hotspur are also away wolves. Although it is difficult for them to threaten Arsenal's place in the short term, and although it is true that they are unlikely to be the favourites right now, their quality should not be underestimated, and they are likely to be the challengers to threaten the three favourites.

Because the new season's competition tasks are getting heavier and heavier, and all competitions are basically in full swing, the current Arsenal has no more rest time at all; After the Carabao Cup, Arsenal are in full swing to prepare for the sixth round of matches and the second game of the Champions League group stage. Although Arsenal have not had much time to rest recently, the good news is that their opponents are relatively weak.

I have to admit that Arsenal has won seven consecutive games in all competitions since the new season. However, among the opponents in the league, only Liverpool is still relatively good, and Tottenham Hotspur's semi-main squad in the League Cup is not very competitive. So Arsenal's record is really scary at the moment, but they are still not convincing enough in these victories because their opponents are not good enough.

The opponent of the sixth round of the Arsenal league is promoted Masi Bromwich Albion, and Arsenal is full of confidence in this game; Because Arsenal are in good form right now, because the Gunners have readjusted their mentality, and of course because this game is Arsenal's home stadium. So the Gunners think this game will be a game for them and they will be confident of winning six consecutive league games this season.

Arsenal's main rivals are challenged at this time, with Chelsea's opponents in this round against a summer recruiting spree Manchester City, who are looking to end Chelsea's strong five-game winning streak in the league.

So far in the new season, Arsenal and Chelsea have maintained a winning record. At this point, the Gunners are naturally hoping to be at the top of the league. Speaking of which, the Gunners are also depressed, with five consecutive league wins. There were also 6-0 or 4-0 wins in the tournament, but they were never able to reach the top of the standings, which was really frustrating and did make the defending champions a little embarrassed. Their performance is really great, but it's a pity that their opponents are too tough, and they haven't been able to win the league leader position under such a strong performance of Arsenal, Xiao Qing can only sigh that it is a crime of non-war.

However, although Arsenal still has not been able to get the league leader, Xiao Qing believes that Arsenal will definitely not be able to continue in the current position, and they believe that they will definitely be able to go further. As for Chelsea, they may be able to do well, but Arsenal are more confident that they can guarantee excellent form, and Arsenal believe they can take the initiative in the next games, and they will now have to take on Chelsea Haode to see who is the Zuihou team who can guarantee a win in the new season.

On September 25, the defending champion Arsenal sitting at the Emirates Stadium at home faced promoted Masy Bromwich Albion, Arsenal really did not intend to suffer a defeat at home in this game, although Arsenal lost two games last season, but their home stadium never fell, so Arsenal in the new season must not want this record to be broken, they hope to create a better record this season. Of course, Arsenal and Chelsea are now in a tight battle at the top of the table, with both teams looking to build a better record as they start the season in the league title race.

goalkeeper Almunia; Sargna, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Klicy at the back; midfielders Cesc Fabregas, Diaby, Nasri, Arshavin; On the forward line, Chamak and Xiao Qing. Although the main defender Alexander Song was banned for two yellows and one red in the previous game, it does not seem to have much impact on Arsenal because the depth of their midfield is still quite good.

West Bromwich Albion is clearly more jealous of Arsenal's attacking ability, goalkeeper Carson; Yala, Pablo, Olsen, Shoray on the back line; Double-back Mlumbu, Sharna; attackers Bren, Morrison, Thomas; Solitaire Oldem Winge.

West Bromwich Albion have been heavily packed in central midfield and do not want to give Arsenal's midfielders more opportunities to organise attacks in stride. They used their numerical advantage to compress Arsenal's attacking space as much as possible. Arsenal's attacking performance in the new season is really too strong. So at this time, West Bromwich Albion naturally needs to pay attention; They want to get points at the Emirates Stadium. So the first thing to ensure is not to be scored too many goals by Arsenal, in the face of Arsenal, now all teams know that the first thing to do is to strengthen the defense, and Arsenal to fight against the attack, speaking of which can compete with Arsenal on the offensive side of the team is really not many, promoted Masi Bromwich Albion obviously does not have such confidence.

The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium is still hot, Arsenal is one of the best teams in Europe with a gorgeous style of play, and their football is beautiful. It's really attracting the attention of the fans; And Arsenal's record in the past two seasons is very good, especially last season's Arsenal won the double, especially the first Champions League title in the team's history, which stimulated the emotions of fans even more. Therefore, the new season of Arsenal is very much expected and concerned by the fans, and Arsenal's performance is indeed surprising, the new season of Arsenal has maintained a winning record in all competitions, which also makes the fans more excited, they are looking forward to the team to continue to win.

Xiao Qing and his teammates are very calm, although they do enjoy the atmosphere of the home game, but the Gunners also know that now is not the time to be complacent. Now they still need to concentrate more on the game. So the Gunners are very low-key now, and they want to win more games. Now they need to be more professional and attentive; As for celebrations and stuff, wait until you win the game before you start!

Although West Bromwich Albion has assembled heavy troops in the central midfield, it is obviously unlikely to have much impact on Arsenal, at least the Gunners at this time are still performing really well in attack, and the current Gunners are still continuing their wonderful performances.

In the eighth minute of the game, Klich dribbled the ball to the edge of the penalty area, received a cross from Klich, Xiao Qing hit a left-footed shot from 20 yards out on West Bromwich Albion defender Pablo, and Arsenal striker Chamak started slightly slowly and failed to form a follow-up shot. In the tenth minute, Xiao Qing suffered a foul after breaking through the opponent's back Scharner, and then Nasri took a free kick and bounced off the wall, and Xiao Qing quickly followed up with a burst shot into the stands.

Arsenal were extremely aggressive at the start of the game, and Arsenal are now very dangerous in attack; Although West Bromwich Albion did not have much space for Arsenal to attack because they strengthened their defense, Arsenal's strength in attack is too strong, so at this time Arsenal can also use their super attacking ability to create threats.

Xiao Qing was very active in the game, although Xiao Qing has not had a rotation since the new season, Xiao Qing is not worried about his physical condition at all, and Xiao Qing is now very energetic. Breakthroughs and passes are constantly creating threats, and with the continuous enhancement of Xiao Qing's long-range shooting ability, their opponents now also know that Xiao Qing's range is extremely wide, so this also makes Arsenal's opponents have to passively expand their defensive space at this time. This is definitely a good thing for Xiao Qing, who can shoot suddenly, because his rich offensive means often make opponents lose sight of one or the other, because this can also give Xiao Qing more choices.

The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium is getting hotter and hotter, West Bromwich Albion are once again suppressed by Arsenal's attack, and the Gunners fans seem to have seen the team's goal at this time, because Arsenal have once again repeated the rhythm of the previous games, they have not given their opponents any chance at all, and their ferocious attack is likely to score in the next leg.

Arsenal did comprehensively suppress West Bromwich Albion in attack, and Arsenal did completely suppress the opponent as they did in previous games. But not every time they can suppress the opponent, they can score goals, and not every time Arsenal can completely crush the opponent after suppressing the opponent. (To be continued......)
