Chapter 467: Meet the Blue Moon Again

Until the 80th minute of the game, Arsenal were in a backward situation. Swansea are a tough opponent and they will want to score more goals to get this win.

But the previous play was too open, and by the 70th minute, many players in their camp were out of shape. Striker Bony is okay, after all, he is an African with outstanding physique. But Michu can't, first of all, he is already twenty-eight or nineteen years old, and secondly, his body is not strong, and his endurance is very average.

体lì is not as conspicuous as other numbers in many cases, but it is often not obtainable as well.

As the game entered the 80 minutes, Swansea City had to change their tactics and defend their one-goal advantage in a more conservative manner.

In this way, the situation on the field is different, and Arsenal, which was originally more passive, began to counterattack at this time. Arsenal's training is very physically demanding, so their overall physical reserves are better than each other's, plus they don't run as far as each other most of the game, so so far they haven't had a physical problem.

Arsenal started attacking and being beaten like this at home by Swansea was definitely not something they were happy to see, although many would have liked to see it, such as Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool.

Finally, in the 88th minute of full-time, Arsenal's "Battle for the Emirates Stadium" was a success. Relying on the overall coordination of the whole team and the passing and cutting positions, Arsenal easily tore apart the Swansea defence.

The White Swans were a little forgetful at this time that it was the league powerhouse Arsenal who was standing opposite them, because the control of the situation and the bombardment made them gradually despise Arsenal.

"This is Arsenal? It's about the same time as Cardiff and Fulham."

There are plenty of Swansea players who think this way, even though they play Arsenal at least twice a season and they know that Arsenal are also a team that is regularly ranked fourth

Fourth place in the league may be very average or even disgraceful for other giants, but for Swansea it can be described as a big team on the top pyramid.

So when they got used to Fulham-like Arsenal, the arsenal suddenly became powerful, like a lion waking up from sleep, and they didn't react for a while.

"I'm cǎo!! Is 'Fulham' suddenly becoming Barcelona and Real Madrid? ”

Caught off guard, Swansea naturally conceded the ball, and Arsenal dazzled the opponent with a series of foot-to-foot passes at the edge of the penalty area, and finally suddenly sent the ball into the box. Giroud, who had been receiving the ball in the box, met the ball and the ball flew into the back of the net under the eyes of the equally unprepared goalkeeper.

"Two to two!! Arsenal continue to put on a big stunt this season, only this time it is French center forward Olivier Giroud!! ”

"In the past, we used to say that Manchester United in stoppage time is unsolvable, so now we can use the same words on the current Arsenal, the only difference is that this Arsenal does not need to go to stoppage time, basically after 82 minutes, they are all unsolvable!!"

"Then the problem is, on the excavator technology, sorry, it's smooth. It should be about the ability to kill, which one is strong? ”

The witty netizen of "Looking for an Arsenal in North London" immediately left a message for Zhan Jun on the Internet

With Giroud's late goal, Arsenal had no choice but to win a draw at home stadium. In this round of replay, they did not get all three points.

It is worth mentioning that it was Giroud who provided the assist at left wing-back Gibbs. Seeing Giroud hit his pass into the opponent's goal, Gibbs shook his fist fiercely, feeling like he had scored the goal.

It can be seen that the unwarranted red card in the last game made Gibbs very depressed, so now he breathes a sigh of viciousness.

But it's not the saddest thing to get only one point, the saddest thing is that their opponents have all won and managed to get three points. In this round of supplementary matches, Chelsea once again sat at Stamford Bridge and slaughtered Arsenal's sworn rival Tottenham Hotspur with a bloody score of 4-0, which cannot be said to be a massacre, and Manchester City did a 7-0 slaughter in the first half of the season

As for Manchester City, although this round is not the 28th round of rematches, they still won it. In the 23rd round of the league, they won away at Aston Villa, also taking three points.

As a result, the standings changed again, and after winning Tottenham, Chelsea with 74 points once again came to the top of the league, only this time there was no one to share the points with them, they were the leader! But then the situation was very tense and chaotic, followed by Liverpool, who were unchanged on points, with 73 points. Manchester City, who have one less round, also got 73 points, and at the same time, Arsenal, who got one point in this draw, also has 73 points

In other words, the teams in second to fourth place in the league are all on the same points, while Chelsea are only one point ahead of the league!

From this, we can see the fierce Cheng of the Premier League!

It's just that because of goal difference, Manchester City is temporarily in second place. Their attacking firepower is very ferocious, and in the 31st round of the league, he has only played 30 games, but he has scored 93 goals, an average of 3 goals per game!

In second place is Arsenal, with the terrifying combination of Ozil and Li Zihan, who scored 90 goals, but they conceded more goals than Manchester City. Manchester City's most recent goalkeeper, England legend Joe Hart, has been out of form, but even then they have conceded only 30 goals compared to Arsenal's 42, which is a testament to Arsenal's defensive problems.

In fourth place is Liverpool, although they have scored quite a few goals this season. The new front trident formed by Luis Suarez, Sturridge and Raheem Sterling was ferocious in attack. However, it is still a little worse than Arsenal and Manchester City, which have always taken an attacking route.

Netizens sighed again that the league has reached 31 rounds, but the fourth place is not Arsenal, which is really unaccustomed!

However, this is only a temporary standing, after all, there are still seven rounds in the league, and it is really hard to say who will have the last laugh, not to mention that the difference between them is almost negligible.

Unfortunately won a draw, Arsenal was a little dissatisfied, and the opponent was still Swansea, think about who are the opponents of Arsenal to win a draw this season? Top four teams like Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City.

Aside from this make-up match, at the end of the week, a new round of the league began.

The league is in the 32nd round, and the time is still at the end of March.

On March 28, Arsenal hosted Manchester City, their direct rivals for the title.

This game is very nerve-wracking for both Arsenal and Manchester City. Because shortly after this game, in the middle of next week. Arsenal will face the first leg of their Champions League quarter-finals, while Manchester City will also face their Carabao Cup final this season!

This is quite a headache, if this game is too intense, then next week's game may have a big impact, after all, the two games are only two and a half days apart, and the core players' bodies may not be restored. And if you give up this game, it will not be cost-effective for both teams. After all, this race is likely to decide the ownership of the marathon running league championship this season, and this is a temptation that no one can refuse.

The Premier League is not the Bundesliga champion, there is no suspense and no passion, it is not easy to win a Premier League title, such as Arsenal, which has not won the Premier League title for nine years, in Liverpool, for example

For both Arsenal and Manchester City, the Premier League title is relatively more attractive. Arsenal have not won a title for many years and are desperate to wash away their humiliation with this one title. And this season is also the closest they have come to the championship, the league has reached 32 rounds, and they are still very competitive in the standings, so they are not willing to give up.

For Manchester City, the early elimination in the Champions League made Manchester City's top management and owners quite dissatisfied with the new coach Manuel Pellegrini. Why did Manchester City bring in Chilean engineers in the first place? Why give him a transfer fee of more than 100 million pounds? I don't hope the team can make a breakthrough in European competition, like Manchester City's current shape, such a big investment, it is simply humiliating for them not to reach the Champions League semi-finals every year.

Therefore, in the case of the Champions League results are destined to be crippled, Pellegrini also very much hopes to use a league title to consolidate his position as a new coach, of course, he will not give up the League Cup title, after all, this is also very easy to take!

Before the game, Arsene Wenger and his coaching staff held a tactical meeting behind closed doors in the conference room. The meeting was closed and the Arsenal players had no idea what they were discussing. But the quarrels and exclamations that came from inside, everyone knew that what was being discussed inside was definitely not trivial!

When the meeting was over, Arsenal were on their usual schedule for their next league game against Manchester City. They clearly felt that the coaching staff had made a little different

At 8 p.m. local time on March 29, England, the game officially kicked off, and at this time it was about 2 o'clock in the morning Chinese time.

In order to take care of Chinese fans, few Premier League games will now be played after 1 a.m. Chinese time, and generally 1 a.m. is the latest, and the general heavyweight strong dialogue is also put down the prime time period of 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Chinese time.
