Arsenal beat Portsmouth in the 20th round of the league with Xiao Qing's hat-trick, and Chelsea was also very good in this round of the game, with the opponent's own goal 2-1 victory; Manchester United beat Wigan Athletic 5-0 in this round of the league, and Liverpool also performed well with Torres's 93rd-minute winner to beat Aston Villa 1-0.

The four giants of the Premier League have won this round of matches, and they have all achieved quite good results in the 20th round; Liverpool are now pushing for the top four in the table, while Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea continue to fight for the title.

After this round of fixtures, Arsenal's Eboue and Alexander Song also left the team to play in the Africa Cup of Nations, while Chelsea were also depressed to lose their number one striker Drogba, and the second half of the game will be a challenge for the two favourites, especially the January game without a major general.

The end of the 20th round of fixtures has given the Premier League players about 10 days of rest, which has also allowed them to get a hard-earned break in the Christmas Devils schedule.

It's a rare time for the players to rest and adjust, but for the club they have a lot to deal with at this time; For example, there are winter reinforcements, and for example, there are some players who need to raise their salaries after the half-time game. Arsenal really have a lot to do right now, the first of which is to focus on the winter transfer market, not just the need for signings. You also need to watch out for other teams digging into the wall.

Senderos' time at Arsenal is almost over. Although the young player used to give Arsenal a lot of expectations. However, injuries and other reasons have prevented him from meeting Wenger's expectations, and even the past two seasons can only be said to be disappointing; It was thought that Arsenal's weak central defender line needed him to strengthen, but he has made few appearances this season; Coupled with the fact that the 24-year-old Swede is not willing to sit on the bench all the time, leaving Arsenal is something that seems acceptable to both parties, and the Toffees Everton are quite interested in Arsenal's fifth centre-back.

Arsenal need to pay attention to transfers now, they are now the league leaders, and they are now at the forefront of the league title race, so they naturally need to work hard for Zuihou's victory at this time. They definitely need to make some targeted reinforcements at this time.

Arsenal's injuries this season are quite serious, and the defensive ability of their own team's midfield itself is also lacking, not to mention that the main defender Song and fullback Eboue are basically absent from the entire January game because they are going to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations, so they need to work harder for Arsenal at this time.

Arsene Wenger is frustrated right now, and although the team is doing well at the moment, and although Arsenal are now at the top of the table, such an excellent record has made the Gunners' players receive more praise; Some ambitious teams are trying to seduce Arsenal's eye-catching players, and the young Gunners are in the spotlight right now and they are in high demand.

It's very popular and it's good enough to give these players reason to ask for more. When the team won the halfway title, when Arsenal achieved the most beautiful result in recent years. It's not uncommon for the Gunners' players to ask for a pay rise at this time.

'Mr. Arsène, I think at this point we can finalise some details and it will be very helpful for Arsenal and for my players. Wenger smiled bitterly and looked at Alan Tea who was sitting in his office seriously, Alan Tea can be said to have been completely on the same bar as Wenger in the past few days, which is naturally for Xiao Qing's salary increase.

"Ms. Alan Cha, Shaw's contract with the team was only decided half a season ago, and it is obviously not reasonable to ask for a salary increase at this time, which will make people think that Shaw is a mercenary player, which is very bad for his image." Wenger can only try to drag it out again and again, and he really doesn't want Xiao Qing to raise his salary.

'I know Shaw signed a contract when he first came to Arsenal, but Mr. Arsèna, as a top manager, I think you must know about the salary increases. Shaw's contract looks good, but looking at what Shaw has done over the course of this half season, I don't think it's going to be a contract that fits Shaw's worth. It's normal for players to get a pay rise in football, and it doesn't give the impression that Shaw is a mercenary player because his performance deserves a contract that matches his value. Alan Cha attaches great importance to Xiao Qing, her players themselves are pitiful, and the players who take the shot are naturally only Xiao Qing, so she attaches great importance to Xiao Qing's agent status.

"Ms. Alan Cha, I naturally understand that Shaw's performance is very good, maybe Shaw may be getting a slightly higher salary in other teams now. But I hope you can understand that Arsenal's finances are not well-off, and it is difficult for us to afford higher salaries, which will disrupt the balance of Arsenal's salary structure, which is not good for Arsenal's development. Shaw is very happy here, he has great team-mates and we can achieve even more results. Wenger was helpless, he naturally knew that Xiao Qing would definitely be given a salary increase now, but he hoped that it could be as little as possible.

Alan Cha naturally doesn't care about Arsenal's hardships, what she needs is to maximize the benefits of her players; Don't look at Arsenal after the new stadium seems to be a little financially insufficient, but after all, they are top giants, so the salaries of the players are naturally affordable, after all, the giants must need a group of strong players to support.

"Ronaldo's annual salary is around 12 million euros, Rooney's annual salary is about 11 million, and it is said that he will be able to raise his salary soon, and Messi's current salary level is about the same. As for players such as Adebayo, Drogba and Ibrahimovic, I think as the best manager you should be able to understand Shaw's strength, he is better than these players and has more potential, but Shaw's current salary is not at their level, so I think now we need to get a salary that can match Shaw's value, which is what Shaw deserves. Alan Cha didn't deliberately open her mouth, she can also understand that a big team must have its own bottom line, and they will not easily break the salary balance; The salary balance is really important for a team, and if a player exceeds the team's salary balance, there is a high risk of dissatisfaction and high salaries from other players, which is not affordable for the club.

"Shaw is brilliant, but I think it might be a little unreasonable. Shaw has already received the team's first salary, and now a large salary increase is not conducive to the development of the team. Wenger refused without thinking.

"Xiao's current weekly salary is 140,000 yuan, and his annual salary is 7 million, which is obviously not in line with Xiao's worth. I can honestly say that in other teams, Shaw's salary needs to be raised to at least 10 million, and many teams are willing to pay this salary because Shaw's performance deserves this salary. Arsenal may not be able to compare with some teams, so we don't want to deliberately pursue high salaries; But we have to get a salary that matches our worth, and that's also a sign of respect for Shaw. Shaw is third in the Ballon d'Or and Shijie Footballer of the Year, and his help to Arsenal this season is evident; It's no exaggeration to say that I think Shaw is the most important player for Arsenal right now, maybe Arsenal need to think about their own finances, but when you have a Shijie player, you have to pay a price accordingly. An annual salary of 10 million euros, that's what we're asking for, and it's the most striking balance for Arsenal and Shaw. Alan Tea does not give an inch, Xiao Qing's salary is also one of the main incomes of Alan Tea, she naturally will not get along with money, of course, it is more important to prove her ability.

Wenger is very distressed, now he not only needs to consider Xiao Qing's salary increase, but also needs to have a headache for the winter transfer, and now Arsenal needs some operation, for the league championship, in order to sprint more in the second half of the game, this is obviously the work that must be done, and now Arsenal really needs to have a good headache.

Arsene Wenger has always been quite stubborn, although Wenger once thought that he would definitely not buy a player who would not qualify for the Champions League, because Arsenal not only need to work hard to win the league title, but also the results in the Champions League are also Wenger's pursuit. But now, Arsenal due to the serious injury of the team, Arsenal management and many shareholders have now begun to put a lot of pressure on Wenger, they hope that the professor can buy excellent players in the winter transfer, even if this person is not qualified for the Champions League like Arshavin last season, because the senior management and shareholders believe that buying strong reinforcements can on the one hand convey Arsenal's championship ambitions to fans and supporters, and on the other hand, it can also improve the team's strength and become stronger in the process of competing for the title. Arsene Wenger should not be too stingy, and the money is not out of Wenger's pocket.

Yes, I would sign a player who has not qualified for the Champions League because at the same time I have to fight for the league and the FA Cup, and signing such a player will give the Champions League players a breather. Of course, having said that, I'd rather sign a player who can play in both the Champions League and domestic competitions, so that means that the player has to play for Arsenal for the long term. We're going to look at the transfer market with a lot of interest, and if there's a suitable player coming along, we're going to buy it, because sometimes it makes you feel like it's an irresistible deal, and in fact everyone won't forget that it was Arshavin who made us to the Champions League last season. Wenger is relieved, this is also the performance of Arsenal in the winter transfer market that many teams are looking forward to, and they are likely to set a record of spending a lot of money in the winter transfer market and the summer transfer period in recent years, because the current Arsenal is the closest to the league title in recent years, so at this time, Arsenal may not be stingy.
