Chapter 419: Toffee is made of cream and chocolate?

March is a busy month for all major teams, just like farmers in the countryside. In the spring, it's time to get busy.

And the major leagues have also entered the white-hot stage, and the team that won the championship is full of energy to compete for that glory. The teams in the relegation zone are desperately scrambling for points, and for many teams, even if they move up one place in the standings, the final outcome may be different.

And at this time, it is also the time when the major princes must fight for every inch of land and seize every inch.

Arsenal suffered a surprise defeat to Stoke City in the last round, and the happiest may not be the victor Stoke City, but Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City.

The busier I am, the faster time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

When the league came to the twenty-ninth round, there was no focus in this round. Originally, the big drama in this round was Chelsea's match against Tottenham, but looking at Tottenham's dick this season, this can be regarded as a game with a big disparity in strength. Although this season is still in the run-in period for Chelsea

Arsenal's opponents in this round are Swansea City, a perennial mid-table team in the Premier League. So for Arsenal, this round of the league is still relatively easy.

It was only due to a conflict with the current round of FA Cup matches that this round of the league was postponed to the end of this month after the agreement of the FA and the opposing team Swansea City.

Meanwhile, three matches between Newcastle and Everton, West Ham and Hull City, Liverpool and Sunderland have also been postponed to the same day. Manchester City, on the other hand, was postponed to early May due to the League Cup semi-finals.

Arsenal's FA Cup opponents in this round are a strong Everton side, and this season's Everton is not the Toffee of David Moyes in previous seasons. Martinez and his team firmly occupy the fifth "VIP" and "box" in the league this season, and there is also the "golden box" that hits the fourth place in the league

When the media got their starting lists for both sides before the game started, they were surprised. As a favored, strong and multi-front Arsenal, there are many main players in the starting list, including Li Zihan and Ozil. As the weaker side, Everton has lined up most of the substitutions and rotations

Everton's choice is understandable, as they are currently eyeing a fourth-place Champions League spot, so staying in the league is no problem. Because when comparing an FA Cup title with a chance to win a Champions League spot, it's clear which is more important.

However, Arsenal did not allow these two "70 million pairs" to play in the last round against Stoke City, and instead played in an FA Cup quarter-final.

Could it be that Arsene Wenger wants to go all out to keep the FA Cup and then give up the league title? Knowing that the competition for the league title is too fierce, Arsenal may just end up empty-handed, so why not settle for the second best thing and win the FA Cup?

Whether the media understands it or not, this is Arsenal's starting line-up. Although there are two cores of Li Zihan and Ozil, there are still a lot of rotations in other positions, such as the main partners of Gibbs and Sagna on the guard did not play. Instead, Spain international Monreal and Vermaelen, who played the captain's central defensive position, played as guest full-backs, but the two central defensive pairings of Merdessaart and Koscielny remained unchanged.

And Podolski to be honest, the current Podolski can only be rotated at Arsenal.

As soon as the game began, Arsenal launched a ferocious attack. There is no polite reason for an arsenal with the advantage of being at home

Li Zihan constantly tore apart the opponent's defense with his own running and sharp breakthroughs, and Ozil also served as the core of the playmaking team in the front court as always.

In the second minute, Li Zihan, who was intercepted by Tongguò layer by layer, got the first chance to hit the goal. was only saved by the American goalkeeper Howard, although he did not score, Li Zihan did not have an annoyed expression. It's just that this frowns, as if thinking about something, and scratches the back of his head and begins to retreat.

In the fifth minute, Arsenal continued to attack. Li Zihan did not come to the goal himself this time, but handed the ball to Ozil. Mesut Ozil tried to hit the ball from just inside the box, but it was only a slight mistake and the ball slipped off the post.

Later, Everton began to try to launch a counter-attack, but the attack was a little lacking in front of Arteta and Flamini, two strong midfielders. And Romelu Lukaku didn't get much of a chance against the big man of Merdessatt, and the attacking midfield didn't have much to support without Milaras and Ross Barkley. Although Naismith is in the starting lineup, he is just lonely.

Finally, after Arsenal dominated the game, the goal finally came.

In the twelfth minute, Mesut Ozil picked up a pass and the ball went behind the centre-back. Li Zihan followed like lightning, and left as soon as he got into the ball.

Rushing to the opponent's penalty area with the ball, central defender Distin struggled to chase back. It's just that as a veteran of the post-70s, he is far from Li Zihan of the post-90s in terms of speed and explosion, so he basically looks at the rhythm of Li Zihan's back.

There was no way, and the central defender partner Jagielka could only chase back at the same time, wanting to rush to Li Zihan to intercept. It's just that compared with Li Zihan's speed, his speed is really not enough.

Li Zihan did not start the speed completely, but kept a safe distance. Not only can Jagielka and Distin catch up, but at the same time, they will not let the two of them fall far behind him, and always stay in a position or so, otherwise the opponent will pull the hand of the jersey and pull him.

Just when he was about to get to the penalty area, Li Zihan suddenly made an emergency stop in the high-speed running. Firmly stopped his body and the ball in the middle to the left, about three or four yards from the penalty line.

Although Li Zihan stopped steadily, Distin and Jagielka, who were chasing him behind him, were not prepared. Due to the inertia of the body and the inertia of the mind, they did not stop in time.

And when they stopped, they were already in the position of the two bodies in front of Li Zihan, and Li Zihan did not give the other party a chance to turn around. Quickly sent the ball to the other side, on the right side of the middle.

Rosicky, who cut inside to follow up, easily received the ball on the line of the penalty area, took a slight small step, made adjustments, and then shot!

Howard couldn't save the Toffees this time, and Rosicky's burst shot left the American big man powerless, and the ball flew into the net quickly and quickly

1-0, Arsenal got off to a fantastic start.

The veteran Rosicky and Li Zihan came to a big hug, and the "old handsome guy" couldn't help but kiss Li Zihan on the forehead.

This scene was recorded by the cameras of the media

Arsenal, who scored goals, did not start to be conservative or slow down, but continued to attack quickly and press the opposition with this strong attack.

And Martinez, who chewed gum, kept whistling on the sidelines, letting his players resist and not make mistakes under such a fierce attack by the opponent.

Everton made no mistake in giving Arsenal a chance, but Arsenal themselves created a chance.

Just two minutes after Rosicky's goal, Arteta cut off Naismith with a clean tackle before Flamini split the ball for the onrushing Monreal.

Monreal dribbled the ball himself on the touchline, handed the ball to Podolski when he found a block, and then followed up on the sidelines.

Podolski made a feint of his own inside and distributed the ball to Monreal on the wing.

The Spaniard swept the ball down the middle after going down the touchline. The ball went between Distin's feet and rolled into the middle,

Li Zihan, who followed up in the middle of the outflank, rushed to the horse, but did not choose to shoot himself in the face of the goal that was close to the goal, but knocked the ball behind him with his own heel.

Ozil, who had been following Li Zihan, met the ball and shot directly with his foot, without even making adjustments.

Goalkeeper Howard, who was attracted by Li Zihan before, thought that the ball was so close, and Li Zihan would choose to shoot by himself, so his attention and his position were all aimed at Li Zihan.

But he didn't expect the other party to come with such a move, and he was not prepared at all for Ozil who was hiding behind Li Zihan.

There were no surprises and the ball flew straight into the goal.

Fifteen minutes, Arsenal 2-0!! This is a sign that Arsenal will be much better in the next games.

And Li Zihan, who scored two assists, once again became the object of the commentators' performance, a good striker must not only score goals himself, but also help his teammates score. What is even more valuable is to know what kind of choice to make in what situation, and put the choice into action as soon as possible.

Li Zihan's two assists are not the role of his speed advantage, but his ability to read the game and his ability to observe with a wide field of vision.

Just when everyone thought that Arsenal had two goals in hand, they would slow down and take a leisurely step. Arsenal continued their rapid attack, and it seemed that they would not stop until Everton was completely penetrated.
