Chapter 579: See the Great Counterattack Again!!

After the reunion with Giaccherini, Li Zihan and Pogba returned to London a little late.

The Asian Cup in January next year is getting closer and closer, which means that Arsenal will lose Li Zihan at least a month! It is also a very crucial Christmas season, with January being the month of league points grabbing and domestic cup competitions such as the FA Cup.

Now Wenger has begun to have a headache about this matter, and it is impossible for him not to let Li Zihan go when he is recruited from the Chinese team, so Wenger can only let the team frantically grab points during Li Zihan's time.

On November 1, the tenth round of the league continued. In this round, Arsenal will host promoted Burnley, a team that has not been promoted to the Premier League for many years, so they are not familiar with this team.

In order to avoid capsizing in the gutter, Arsene Wenger still sent all his main forces in this game.

The likes of Lee Zihan, Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil were all in the starting line-up, and Harry Kane was not in the starting line-up for this game, but was on the bench, replaced by French centre-forward Olivier Giroud, who had just returned from injury.

It was only when the French centre-forward returned to the pitch that he found that his main position was gone, and he now had to compete with Harry Kane, England's homegrown centre-forward.

Fortunately, Li Zihan has been in the winger position for a long time now, otherwise if he is allowed to keep playing the shadow striker and the nine-and-a-half position of his debut, then the competition for the middle striker will be even more intense.

By the time the bald Webb blew the whistle for the end of the game, the scoreboard at the Emirates Stadium was already fixed at 3-0. Arsenal won the promoted team at home, and Li Zihan scored again.

Mesut Ozil scored a goal and an assist, and Olivier Giroud set up Alexis Sanchez to score in his first game back from injury!

German talented midfielder Mesut Ozil was voted Man of the Match, which once again caught the eye of other teams.

According to the grapevine, many teams are now interested in the German midfielder, who has Turkish roots. Among them, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus are the most sincere. It's just that I don't know if Dortmund and Juventus can afford this huge transfer fee.

After leaving Gotze, it seems that Royce can't save it. However, for the sake of the team's results, the Hornets had to bring in reinforcements to strengthen the squad, of which Arsenal's German midfielder Mesut Ozil was the best choice. The Hornets don't mind that the German talent comes from the academy of their sworn rival Schalke 04, the only thing they mind is his transfer fee and salary!

As for Juventus, after leaving Pogba and Andrea Pirlo getting older every year. The century-old Bianconeri, a century-old giants from Serie A, are in desperate need of a playmaker in midfield, and Vidal and Marchisio are excellent but they are different types.

And Juventus are not confident that they will be able to keep Vidal, who is 26 years old this year and is likely to leave the club himself if he wants to win some important honours in his career, such as the Champions League.

Of course, these transfers have not yet materialized and Arsenal will not be a matter of the season even if they consider selling Mesut Ozil.

After bidding farewell to the league game with Burnley, Arsenal welcomed the Champions League in midweek. This is the fourth round of this season's Champions League group stage, and they will face Arsenal's unfamiliar Belgian giants Anderlecht.

This time it was Arsenal who came out to face Anderlecht, but there was little difference between home and away for a team as disparity as Arsenal and Anderlecht.

Arsenal beat the attacking Anderlecht team 2-0 at their home stadium, so Arsenal won all four games in the group stage and accumulated 12 points, and already qualified for the group two rounds in advance.

In this way, unless it is against Juventus in the end, Arsenal has a big away score, at least a 5-0 match against Arsenal, and Juventus can snatch the first place in the group from Arsenal.

In theory this is true, but in practice it is almost unlikely, unless Arsenal themselves want to help Juventus

The Champions League game did not put pressure on Arsenal, and in the blink of an eye, the theme of Arsenal returned to the league.

In the 11th round of the league this season, Arsenal will face the White Swans away from home. Swansea have been an eye-catching fixture so far this season, playing 10 league games and finishing fifth in the table, almost reaching the last four of the Champions League.

And Swansea have scored seven points in three games against Manchester City, Manchester United, and Liverpool!! Two wins and one draw!!

So in the face of such a difficult bone, Wenger sent most of the main players. Lee Zihan, Harry Kane and Alexis Sanchez were all on the field. It's just that Ozil's place was replaced by Cazorla, and in midfield it was Pogba's partner Ramsey!

There have been some changes at centre-back, with Merdessaart no longer partnering his old partner Hevedes, but Cameroon's talented centre-back Nkouru.

Just seven minutes into the game, Swansea City scored. South Korean midfielder Ji Sung-yong kicked up from the edge of the box and scored a brilliant long-range shot.

Ji Chengyong, who scored the goal, was very excited, and he ran directly around the Liberty Field! At a time when the Asian media are boasting about the outrageous way that Lee Zihan has already boasted, he, the South Korean player, was able to score a leading goal against Arsenal, which was enough for him to be excited and happy.

But the good luck and excitement that Chengyong gave Swansea did not last long, and in the twelfth minute of the game, Li Zihan staged a good show of walking a thousand miles and riding alone, tearing the White Swan Swansea defense directly into several pieces.

Just when all the Swansea players were guarding against Li Zihan's shot, he passed the football over. It's just that it's not handed over to Harry Kane in the middle, but to Sanchez, who follows up in the far corner of the other goal!

The Chilean winger did not waste Li Zihan's kindness and scored with ease.

Although the two sides returned to the same starting line, Swansea's behavior still showed everyone the ability of this white swan to disrupt the situation.

The two sides changed sides again in the second half, with Swansea netting a goal just three minutes into the second half. It was a quick counter-attack from Swansea who put a bus in the box and then defended an attack from Arsenal and Swansea immediately returned the favor!

Swansea's Ivorian striker Bony swooped down with the ball and held back his African compatriot, Cameroon centre-back Nkouru before firing straight at goal.

The ball cut Ospina open and flew into the Colombian goalkeeper's shot for the second time in the game.

The Liberty Stadium was once again in a sea of cheers, as they seemed to see the third big club fall under their butcher's knife this season.

Only this time their cheers didn't last long, and less than five minutes after Bony's goal, Li Zihan once again made them desperate.

This time it was not Li Zihan's thousand-mile solo ride, but Arsenal's layers of passing that made Swansea a little clumsy, and then Li Zihan shot directly in front of the goal against the football from Cazorla.

Arsenal equalised for the second time.

Arsenal's second goal did not frustrate Swansea, but only activated Swansea's emotions and passion even more. In their opinion, if they can lead Arsenal twice, then it is possible to lead three times.

So in the next game, the White Swan Swansea who sat on the Liberty Pitch played more and more unrestrained, and finally the two teams staged an offensive duel on the Liberty Pitch!

But they forgot that Arsenal is a team that is not afraid of attack.

Li Zihan scored twice in the 67th minute of the game, and when both sides were pressing high, it was easy to foul.

South Korean centre-back Ji Sung-yong brought down Lee Zi-han about four yards in front of the penalty area, and Lee Zi-han came up to take the free-kick.

There was no suspense, and the football entered the opponent's goal for the third time.

Ji Chengyong smashed his fist in annoyance.

At this time, Arsene Wenger also began to make substitutions, he first replaced Ramsey, replaced Wilshere, and then replaced Harry Kane with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

This change is to push Li Zihan to the front, and then increase the midfield's attack power and ball control ability.

Facts have proved that such substitutions are very correct, the midfield has greatly improved the ability to control the ball and press because of the addition of Oxlade-Chamberlain and Wilshere, and there is Li Zihan in the front court, which makes Swansea a little afraid to let go!

And when the game came to the seventy-fourth minute of the game, Swansea didn't have to worry about it, Li Zihan took advantage of a counterattack opportunity to go to the next city!

Four to two!! Arsenal staged a big counterattack again, only this time the opponent is no longer a giant team, but a mid-table team Swansea!

At this time, Arsenal used the last substitution, and the hero of the game, Li Zihan, was replaced, and he was replaced by England winger Walcott.

Since Theo Walcourt was injured last season, he has rarely played this season, and has basically come off the bench to play ten or twenty minutes.

Lee received a standing ovation from the fans after leaving the stadium, and although it was an away game, the small Swansea side didn't mind showing their demeanor. After all, this is the first team to come out of Swansea's feet and take the trophy so far this season.

And the result of this game was also fixed at 4-2, Walcott's appearance did not change the final score, but only restrained Swansea on a certain course, so that they had to be cautious, and finally wasted time and opportunity to counterattack!
