Chapter 539: The competition for the league's top scorer

There is still one round in the league, and considering that Arsenal still has two important finals of the FA Cup and the Champions League, Suarez still has a good chance of surpassing Li Zihan to become the top scorer in the Premier League this season.

Especially three days ago, Arsenal played a 120-minute shopping game with Real Madrid, and Li Zihan was also injured, so Arsenal should not let Li Zihan play in this round of games. At the same time, the next and final round of matches is not far away from the FA Cup and Champions League finals, and according to the norm, Arsenal will definitely have to hide the main force in the face of this unimportant league.

That's Suarez's chance!

However, Suarez and Liverpool proved to be thinking too much, and just when the whole of England was hotly discussing the league title this season, Arsenal's match against West Bromwich Albion quietly started in the late 27th round of the league.

Considering that Arsenal has just finished the Champions League life and death battle, the FA is still more humane to put Arsenal's league and Chelsea's league at the end of this round.

Both Arsenal and Chelsea played the second leg of their Champions League semi-final just three days ago.

Since Li Zihan's injury was not serious, he was selected into the eighteen-man squad in this round. And Professor Arsene Wenger also rotated almost all the starters, even the goalkeeper. Third goalkeeper Viviano started and it is worth mentioning that the Italian goalkeeper, who only joined the Serie A side Palermo on loan this summer, made his league debut

Although Arsenal used a lot of substitutes, and even Danish center forward Bendtner, who had been at odds with the team, started the game, but West Bromwich Albion was not a strong team after all, so at the end of the first half, Arsenal took a 1-0 lead at home, and Bendtner scored the only goal.

In the 75th minute, Li Zihan came off the bench, and Wenger used the last few minutes to maintain his form, after all, Arsenal still face a serious test ahead.

Li Zihan came on the pitch to the applause and cheers of the 60,000 home fans at the Emirates Stadium, and it was clear that after a hat-trick to help Real Madrid reach the Champions League final, Li Zihan has a more status in the hearts of Arsenal fans. His thirty-one league goals are nothing compared to helping the team reach the Champions League.

Substitute Li Zihan did not waste the applause of the fans, he scored a goal in the 87th minute of the game. It was a vicious foul by West Bromwich Albion, after all, Li Zihan is now a player in the limelight in England, and he is more famous than Suarez on the scorer list, Lu Xiaopang of Manchester United and General Fan, who turned to his arch-rival - because he can score goals!

So it was inevitable that he would encounter all kinds of envy and hatred, so one of West Bromwich Albion's strikers who dropped back to help the defense tackled him.

Fortunately, Li Zihan paid great attention to protecting himself and was not injured, and then with the free kick generated by the opponent's foul, he directly blasted open the goal of "Sparrow" West Bromwich Albion, 2-0, and Arsenal sealed the win.

And Li Zihan also opened up the gap with Suarez behind him again with this goal, and now the difference between them is only two goals!

After the game, the commentator kept praising Li Zihan.

And Lineker once again commented on his Twitter about Li Zihan: "He is a tireless fighter, he is a knight who gallops on horseback. He's always hungry to win and can always score goals to help the team win, and who else can stop him from being close to defense, swinging the bus or even fouling? I think there is only God! ”

Lineker's words said a lot of the words of the manager of the team who met Arsenal, in the face of such a Li Zihan, you really can't prevent him from letting him score.

If you are close, his emergency stop acceleration change of direction and feints can shake you can't find the north, and if you put the bus, he also has a good long shot, his long shot is not pure power, but a bit like a direct free kick of the technical type, as for fouls, God, in front of a free kick king foul is not looking for death?

So the hostile coach can't find a way to contain him, even to intimidate him with a malicious foul, he is not afraid, and even dares to fight you, and he has not had any major injuries so far this season, and those injuries that require a two-week break are not a problem in professional football.

Take a two-week break? Facing Diaby, Walcott, who has been injured for a season, and Wilshere, who has been injured for a month or two, are you embarrassed to mention?

In the face of such a "weapon of war" that "destroys the city and uprootes the village", all coaches are in tears.

And such a problem is immediately faced with the "canary" Norwich City coach Hughton, the third-to-last Norwich City in the 38th round of the league against the third-place Arsenal.

This is a game with a very disparity in strength, of course, the Canary, who has been relegated two rounds in advance, has no fighting spirit in this game, and his only thought may be to win less and be relegated a little "decently".

It's also strange to say that Norwich didn't sack their manager when they were in relegation quagmire this season

In the 38th round of the league, according to the rules of the FA and the League Committee, all matches in this round must be played at the same time.

In the final round of the Premier League season, there are 20 teams in total, and 10 matches start at 3pm local time in England on May 11.

In this game, Li Zihan also did not appear in the starting list of 11 men, he sat on the bench, and in this game Arsenal used a starting lineup that matched the rotation and the main team, of course, Szczesny returned to the starting goalkeeper position.

Szczesny's current form is more embarrassing, if you let him start every game, he is easy to be tired, and if you let him rest a little, he is easy to relax too much

At the end of the first half, perhaps stimulated by Li Zihan's non-appearance, Suarez scored twice with the help of captain Steven Gerrard and Sturridge respectively, and caught up with Li Zihan's 32 goals at the top of the scorer list.

Liverpool also led the away "Magpies" Newcastle United 2-0 in the first half with two goals from the Uruguayan striker, and Arsenal led the home team Norwich 1-0 with a tackle from Giroud in the penalty area.

At the beginning of the second half, I don't know if it was Suarez's pressing that made Arsenal smell danger, or for the reason of maintaining Li Zihan's form, Wenger replaced Li Zihan at the beginning and replaced the center forward Giroud.

Li Zihan used his advantage to make a mess of Norwich's backline after coming on, and as the team that conceded the second most goals this season, their defense was already unreliable.

Finally, in the 52nd minute of the game, Li Zihan sent a beautiful inverted triangle return pass, and the follow-up Ozil met the ball and hit the goal, and the ball flew directly into the net of the Canary Norwich team.

An assist from Li Zihan almost sealed the win for Arsenal, and Arsenal could easily play some freedom in the next game.

At Anfield Stadium, fans were uplifted when they learned on the radio that Carrow Road Stadium was attacked by Arsenal for the second time, because Li Zihan had only been on the pitch for less than ten minutes, and the opponent had conceded the goal, so Liverpool fans were still very weak-hearted. After the league title is hopeless, Reds fans hope that the team can help Liverpool's leading goalscorer Suarez win the league's top scorer and then go for the European Golden Boot glory!

After Suarez's impressive performance, fans knew it would be difficult to keep the in-form striker, although he only signed a new contract in the winter transfer window. So Reds fans are hoping to keep the Uruguayan striker with the league's top scorer and European Golden Boot honours.

So now Liverpool fans are very concerned about the dynamics of Suarez's direct rival Li Zihan, but when it was learned that Li Zihan was an assist instead of a goal, the entire Anfield stadium was boiling.

When Rodgers sat in the dugout and heard the cheers of the fans, he thought his team had scored again, only to find that his team was still in possession of Newcastle when he stood up.

His assistant coach told him: "Arsenal scored, but it wasn't Lee who scored. Everyone wants to help Luis (Suarez) win the league's top scorer! ”

Rogers nodded: "In that case, let's give Louis a little more help!" ”

From this point on, Suarez was the focal point of Liverpool, leaving him with the ball wherever he had, even though he was perhaps not in a good position, and even another Sturridge had a very good chance to shoot and pass the ball to Suarez

Ten minutes into the game, Newcastle United understood their intentions, no matter how stupid they were. So the "helmsman" of the "Magpies" Alain Pardu smiled, and he gave instructions for the team to watch Suarez, as for the other Liverpool players, do not pay too much attention, and at the same time focus on the counter-attack, not only think about defense.

When Newcastle adjusted, they scored a goal on the counter-attack in the 73rd minute of the game.

Seeing Newcastle's goal, Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers couldn't understand the opponent's intentions and was about to tell the team to start adjusting, but before he could get up, his assistant coach told him that Li Zihan had scored a goal in another stadium.
