Witnessing the unveiling of statues of the most outstanding players in the team's history really made Xiao Qing and his teammates feel very excited and excited; It may be almost impossible for some of these players to enjoy this treatment, but they are looking forward to making history and hoping to continue to do well this season so that they can make a lasting mark on the team's honours and the football world as a whole.
Xiao Qing really hopes to be able to perform better here, and he may be the player most likely to get such an honor; For Xiao Qing, what he needs is to help the team achieve glory as much as possible this season, and what he needs is to help the team build a dynasty, so as to make the greatest possible memory in the history of Arsenal.
Xiao Qing and his teammates began to prepare for the fifteenth round of the league, which was a good opportunity for Arsenal; In this round of the game, Arsenal sat at home to face Everton, although the strength of the Toffees is quite good, but Everton is only a team in the middle and upper reaches of the league in the final analysis, they have the strength, but they definitely do not have the ability to break the pattern of the Premier League.
This game coincides with the celebration of the can't afford to lose, Arsenal's main players are all back, and Arsenal at home is also full of confidence, they must win this game, and for Arsenal they now have a chance to go further in the table. The highlight of this round is the clash between Arsenal and Everton, as this is Arsenal's celebration; What's even more interesting is Chelsea's home game against Manchester City, whether Villas-Boas's side can break Manchester City's unbeaten streak this season is the biggest attraction of this Premier League event.
Arsenal at home have high expectations for the game. Because this is Arsenal's 125th anniversary celebration. It is also because now in the standings, Arsenal has a good chance of catching up with Manchester City; Manchester City's dominance of the table has been going on since the start of the new season. In the process, Arsenal had the opportunity to close the gap even further. But they didn't grasp it; Now is a great opportunity for Arsenal, who are unbeaten in 11 games in a row, and now it's time for them to finish at the top of the league table.
Arsenal are looking forward to Manchester City and Chelsea's strong dialogue to kill both sides, Arsenal now want to sit on the hill and watch the tiger fight to reap the benefits; It's just that these need to be based on the premise that Arsenal can win the game at home, and Arsenal need to take advantage of this opportunity, they can't continue to make mistakes at this time.
goalkeeper Szczesny; On the back line, Jorou, Vermaelen, Mertesacker and Alaba, lined up from right to left; Diamond position in midfield, Alexander Song at the back; Walcott and Cazorla are on the wings, with Arteta playing; Xiao Qing and Robin van Persie are up front. Arsenal fielded their strongest squad at this stage without any reservations in this game, and the Gunners, who have been given some rest, are also feeling good at the moment because they have enough desire to win, because they know that Everton will not be able to get out of the way at the Emirates Stadium.
The presence of former Arsenal stars such as Thierry Henry, Ian Wright and Andrea Pire also illustrates the importance of this game for Arsenal; Although they feel a lot of pressure, the Arsenal players are also full of motivation, and the Gunners are used to playing under pressure, they are used to being the focus. The Arsenal players don't care about the pressure because that's what drives them to break out.
Just two minutes into the game, Vermaelen had the chance to prove that he was versatile at the back. He went down to block Everton's cross from the right. Although it was Gioru who played right-back, Jolu was a bit of a duck on the shelf. His quality is average, and Vermaelen's ability to support the wide defense more at this time is very good news for Arsenal, which can ensure Arsenal's stability in the defensive end, which can also ensure that the team is more resolute in attack.
In the fourth minute, Cazorla and Arteta made a one-two on the left, Cazorla cut inside quickly and sent a return pass, although Xiao Qing was trying to form a threat, but the resolute Everton goalkeeper Howard got the ball first. Everton were also in full swing, again trying to break through Djoroux on the right, but the ball was blocked by Vermaelen, who came forward to support them.
Arsenal seems to have fallen into some difficulties in attack, Arsenal got a good chance in the fourteenth minute, Arteta broke the ball in front of Walcott, Walket burst into the box and formed a one-on-one with Howard, but Walket chose to knock horizontally to find Xiao Qing to keep up, and Xiao Qing's speed was too fast When he stopped the ball, he found that the defender had retreated into place, Xiao Qing lost the opportunity to shoot, and Walcott's lack of determination made Arsenal lose the opportunity to break the deadlock.
Arsenal missed another chance in the 30th minute, Alexander Song went straight to the goalkeeper, Xiao Qing stepped into the penalty area and turned on the spot to stun the defender and goalkeeper, but the left-footed volley that followed up was slightly high, and the fancy action not only deceived the defender, but even he himself lost his position. Two minutes later, Cazorla burst into the box from the left and fired a right-footed shot that Howard saved, but he should have passed the ball to Van Persie, who was in a better position on the other side, as Van Persie was largely open at the time.
The Arsenal players' desire to win is unquestionable, and the Arsenal players are also full of determination in this game, and they are eager to win this game. It's just that Arsenal's players may be too concerned about the outcome of this game, and the team's defensive performance is still relatively stable, so the Gunners don't have enough patience in the game, and they are eager to get a lethal blow.
Xiao Qing has no reason to blame his teammates at this time, Xiao Qing's own performance in the game is not outstanding, the players are hoping to achieve a brilliant performance in this very meaningful game, they all hope to be able to prove their value at this time. So at this time, it is normal for the Arsenal players to be inconsistent, and what the Arsenal players may need now is to calm down and reflect on the team's performance in the first half.
With a 0-0 draw, Arsenal's players returned to the dressing room; The first half was uncomfortable, with the Arsenal players not happy with their team's performance in the first half, repeatedly missing good chances to open the scoring and falling into the trap of being offside again and again. Although the Arsenal players looked fierce in the first half of the game, they were indeed able to put a lot of pressure on Everton, but in terms of attacking efficiency, the Arsenal players really did not perform well enough, and they also needed to calm down more at this time.
Of course, Xiao Qing knows the team's performance in the first half, and Xiao Qing is also very happy to have halftime to help the Arsenal players to complete adjustments, so that the players can better reflect on their performance. The Arsenal players need to be better, Arsenal need to win this game, but one thing is for sure, if the Arsenal players continue to bombard the pitch like this, then it may be a bit difficult for them to win this game. Everton's quality is still relatively good, and if Arsenal want to perform better in the game, then they also need to perform better.
After a fifteen-minute break at half-time, the Arsenal players also calmed down; Arsene Wenger has never been a master tactician, and his on-the-spot command has always been criticized; However, the team's performance in the first half was seen by everyone, and Wenger naturally had a lot to say at this time, and he also criticized the players very harshly; Arsenal don't need to change tactics now, what they need is to return to their familiar rhythm of the game, what Arsenal need is to find their rhythm in the game; The Gunners don't think Everton will be able to take their chances at the Emirates Stadium, as long as the Arsenal players can calm down, then this game will still be a victory for Arsenal!
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Arsenal had obvious changes, Arsenal of course maintained enough strength in attack, they would not give Everton any chance to rebound, Arsenal will continue to use their attack to completely suppress Everton, they will firmly grasp the rhythm of the game in the game. But for Arsenal, they also need to play more patiently, they need to learn from the first half; Attacking aggressiveness doesn't mean there is no discipline, and Arsenal now need to play efficient attacking football, not shoot and bird in chaos.
Xiao Qing also needs to help the team do better at this time, as the team's attacking core, Xiao Qing knows that the team's tactics revolve around him to a large extent, if Xiao Qing can't guarantee a stable performance in the game at this time, then it will also affect the team's offensive quality. In the first half of the game, Xiao Qing's performance was not eye-catching, the decent performance was not what Xiao Qing was satisfied with, he needed to have a brilliant and dazzling performance on the court, and Xiao Qing had to play a high-quality game in the second half!
Although it was only half time, it was enough for Xiao Qing and his teammates; In the first half of the game, Arsenal missed chances again and again, but it must be admitted that they dominated the game. If the Arsenal players will be patient in the second half, then they will definitely be more aggressive in the game! (To be continued......)
