Xiao Qing doesn't care about whether Adebayo will be punished after the game, I believe that the current media will definitely not let Adebayo go, and he believes that Adebayo will be punished more or less. None of these are the focus of Xiao Qing's concern now as they came back from behind to win over Manchester City, as Arsenal now need to prepare for their first Champions League group game immediately.

On September 17, the first round of the UEFA Champions League Group H will begin, with Arsenal away to Liege in Belgium. Although Standard Liege is Belgium's powerhouse, although many players including Arshavin, Van Persie, Almunia, and Fabianski did not come with the team due to injury, although Eduardo was also depressed and was punished with two bans for faking falls. However, the Gunners are clearly more than a cut above the Gunners in Arsenal's Group H, and at this time, Arsenal are confident of winning away from home.

This game is the first appearance of No. 3 goalkeeper Mannone in the Champions League, of course, this is also Xiao Qing's first appearance in the Champions League, so he is still very excited; And despite the slew of injuries, Rosicky started for the first time in a year and a half.

Standard Liege are now unbeaten in 15 consecutive matches at home, and they are making their first appearance in the group stage of the competition. The two sides met in the 1993 European Cup Winners' Cup, with Arsenal winning by seven goals. Arsenal will have no pressure on an away win against Belgium and will be confident of picking up their first Champions League group stage three points.

goalkeeper Mannone; Eboue, Galla, Vermaelen, Clichy at the back; midfielders Cesc Fabregas, Song, Rosicky and Diaby; Bendtner on the forward line partners Xiao Qing. Although Arsenal are not the strongest team, it is clear that they are still far above Standard Liege because they are in Standard Liege. It's even hard to find a player who can make a better impression. They really don't have the slightest reputation.

At the Dufracen Stadium. It was the first Champions League match in Standard Liege, and with more than 30,000 enthusiastic fans cheering on, Standard Liege got off to a dream start in a frenetic home atmosphere. In the third minute of the game, Serbian international Juvanovic took a corner kick from the right side, and Arsenal striker Bendtner kicked the ball to the opposing player Mangala with a dashing pick and pass at the edge of the penalty area! Mangala fired a left-footed volley into the near corner to get off to a dream start with a 1-0 Standard Liege!

The Arsenal players were a little dumbfounded, they had no idea what was going on; But the nightmare continued, less than a minute after taking the lead at home to Standard Liege. Juvanovic broke through at the edge of the penalty area and was tripped by Arsenal defender Garra, penalty! Juvanovic deceived Mannone and easily converted the penalty, 2-0!

The Arsenal players looked at each other, and the Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger in the dugout yelled angrily at the players on the field; This is definitely a situation that no one has ever imagined, and no one would dare to imagine that the shijie-level giants, who have no opponents at all in Group H, would be beaten twice in a row by the standard Liege of the third-rate league twice in the space of five minutes!

Arsenal, who were two goals behind, were completely stunned, and the morale-like standard Liege launched a more ferocious attack at this time; Now Arsenal is still in danger, in the seventh minute, Standard Liege full-back Mbokarni received a long pass and went straight to the penalty area, and Arsenal goalkeeper Mannone used Chinese kung fu to sweep thousands of troops to clear the siege.

To be honest, Xiao Qing at this time was really at a loss, which was not what they expected before the game at all; Perhaps the Arsenal players also thought that they would face a lot of difficulties in this game. But speaking of which, they really didn't expect to concede two goals in a row at the beginning of the game, and they didn't expect Standard Liege to play at all, and they had no way to fight back.

Although here there is Arsenal unlucky for a reason. But it's more because the Gunners' players are a little careless; The successive tough battles in the league have achieved good results, Arsenal's Arsenal results since the new season are very good, and they are now even in second place in the standings after being unbeaten in the league, which does make the young Arsenal a little too proud, they may think that this Champions League group stage three points are handy. But they obviously didn't expect to reach the Champions League group stage, so there is no fish belly in the absolute sense, and they can only say that they are self-inflicted in the face of such a dilemma.

With just five minutes down by two goals, Arsenal played a big joke on all their supporters and bookmakers, and Arsenal's two central defenders, Vermaelen and Gala, should be criticised during both scoring sessions in Standard Liege. The reason why Manlaga was able to score a cold shot was that Vermaelen, who was directly in front of him, did not step forward to block it, and as for the penalty, God knows if Gala had a brain short circuit at that time!

Indeed, as a team that is not good at playing against the wind, when Arsenal conceded two goals at the beginning, it is estimated that many fans have the urge to tear up the lottery ticket in advance. However, unlike many times in the past, Arsenal had a relatively long time to make up for the loss due to the early time of conceding. And now Arsenal seems to have temporarily gotten rid of the embarrassment of not being good at playing against the wind, whether it is against Manchester United or Manchester City, Arsenal has stood up in adversity. So if they want to redeem themselves, they need to work hard.

Arsenal finally threatened the opponent for the first time in the twelfth minute, Bendtner and Diaby combined to make the ball into the penalty area, Xiao Qing's shot from less than ten yards from the goal on the left side was blocked; In the seventeenth minute, Bendtner's cross from the left was pushed out, and Xiao Qing's long-range shot after snatching the ball back was wide of the goal.

At this point, Arsenal finally came to their senses, now they don't dare to be careless, now they need to score, they need to get three valuable points, they can't get too much in the group stage. Arsenal want to establish the top spot in the group early, and with the obvious gap between the quality of other opponents, Arsenal really need to accumulate more energy, this is a good opportunity for them this season, and they need to take advantage of this rare opportunity.

Arsenal are stepping up their attack and they are finally in the 33rd of the game

Pulled back a goal in the minute, Diaby took the ball to get rid of the defender straight into the penalty area, Xiao Qing knocked horizontally after dribbling the ball, Bendtner inserted the right side diagonally in the middle, and shot into the far corner of the goal at a small angle, 1 to 2. It was his first goal of the season, and in his first start of the season he helped Arsenal score their first Champions League goal of the new season, which was a temporary relief for Arsenal.

Finishing the first half with a goal down, the usually mild-mannered Arsene Wenger was furious in the dressing room; The Arsenal players also know what they did in the first half, so they need to work harder in the second half, they need to score more goals, just a goal difference, the Arsenal players are still very confident.

At the beginning of the second half, Arsenal defender Song made a major mistake in the return pass, but the dangerous shot of Standard Liege striker Mbokani was blocked by the returning Klich; Then Arsenal returned the color, Xiao Qing burst into the heart of the box and sent a through ball, but Bendtner's one-handed ball was destroyed by Mangala's tackle. Both teams made big mistakes in quick succession and they failed to take their chances.

However, although the two teams have wasted great opportunities, for Arsenal, they have more initiative at this time; After a slump in the first half and a nightmare in the opening stages, Arsenal were in a difficult position to resist as they bounced together to win.

In the 66th minute of the game, Xiao Qing was fouled by two players on the left side of the front field, Arsenal won a free kick and was punished by Cesc Fabregas, and the ball was driven to the back point, where there were three Arsenal players; Xiao Qing made another cameo appearance at this time, and Xiao Qing's header from the high jumped hit the standard Liedie defender Camozartu and bounced into the net!

Xiao Qing, who scored the goal, was extremely excited, and he helped Arsenal equalize 2-2, and now Arsenal and Standard Liege are back on the same running line. Although Standard Liege got off to a dream start at home, the huge gap in quality made them miss out on winning opportunities. More importantly, Arsenal are in high spirits after scoring two goals in a row, and they will not choose to be satisfied with the current score at this time.

Xiao Qing is highly motivated, he scored his first goal in the Champions League, and now Xiao Qing can proudly announce that he has become the first Chinese player to score in the history of the Champions League, but all this Xiao Qing will not be satisfied, he will hope to do better, he will work hard to achieve greater results in the Champions League.

Arsenal, who scored the goal, struck while the iron was hot, and in the 70th minute of the game, Xiao Qing burst into the penalty area and suddenly burst into the shot, although the shot was saved by the goalkeeper; Although Vermaelen's shot from the corner was blocked by a defender on the goal line, the in-form standard Liege goalkeeper struggled to keep up the saves.

Arsenal took another corner and Cesc Fabregas headed it straight away; Although the Standard Liege player signaled Xiao Qing to pull people, the referee ignored it; Xiao Qing, who did not have a good chance to get a chance to shoot, headed the ball, and Vermaelen sent the ball into the net from close range in the chaos, and Arsenal staged an incredible reversal 3-2!

Arsenal's players were delighted to have suffered a black five-minute start to the game, but Arsenal redeemed themselves, and although Standard Liege was not very good, it was undoubtedly a joy to be able to score three goals in a row to complete a comeback and win. And now Arsenal has won the first victory in the Champions League group stage, and Arsenal, who have three points, can now face the next Champions League group stage games more calmly.

As for Xiao Qing, he is still silent in the joy of scoring the first official goal in the Champions League, and now he looks in good shape, and he believes that he can continue to continue this excellent form to help the team achieve more victories! (To be continued......)
