Chapter 528: A Time of Trial

Arsenal needs to win the game, and Xiao Qing and his teammates also need to show more competitiveness and condition in the game; Arsenal were too impatient in the first half and could not afford to make such a mistake again in the second half. It's a really good chance for Arsenal right now, because Everton really doesn't have a lot of chances against Arsenal.

At the beginning of the second half, Arsenal began to attack, and Arsenal, who had the absolute initiative in strength, were not polite at this time, their formation was fully pressed, and at this time Everton was left with only a hard struggle, and they could only choose to retreat in the face of Arsenal's ferocious attack.

Alexander Song suddenly sent a wonderful pass, pressing to the right side of the penalty area in front of the opponent's penalty area; Everton's players were thoroughly suppressed by Arsenal's strong attack, especially when defending Arsenal's forwards, they paid more attention to defending Arsenal's passes.

Xiao Qing had slipped into Arsenal's defense unconsciously, Xiao Qing, who seized the opportunity, suddenly accelerated, and Alexander Song's just right pass also ensured that Xiao Qing was not offside; Xiao Qing lifted his right foot to unload the ball and hit a straight curling ball with the outside instep of the goal, and Everton goalkeeper Howard was also powerless at this time.

Xiao Qing's goal sent the Emirates Stadium into a boil, 1-0, and Arsenal have a great deal of confidence that they will be able to win this game, not only because of the 12-game unbeaten record this season, but also because this game is a celebration of Arsenal's 125th anniversary, and it is a game win at this time. It would be an unusually uplifting victory for Arsenal. And in another stadium. Manchester City are also in trouble. Arsenal are now fully capable of going one step further in the table!

Arsenal's narrow 1-0 win at home to Everton was a very good result for Arsenal, and they also had their best record in this game, and they almost fulfilled the expectations of this game; The victory added to the team's founding celebrations and was also due to the fact that Arsenal had finally drawn with Manchester City in the table.

It was Balotelli who opened the scoring in the highlight of the round, but then Chelsea's Merreles equalised and Frank Lampard converted a penalty just before half-time. Chelsea beat Manchester City 2-1 at home. Manchester City's unbeaten league run has come to an end, and they are the same as Arsenal in the standings with 12 wins, two draws and one defeat, but the current Manchester City team is temporarily at the top of the table with a goal difference.

Although both teams are now 38 points, and Manchester United is now only four points behind the two teams, although it is at such a moment for Arsenal is really not to be taken lightly, although the current Arsenal has not really become the league leader, but for Arsenal is already a very good result, in the league is about to pass the halfway point, Arsenal has finally seized the opportunity, they now have a chance to become the halfway champion. Now Arsenal can also ensure that they are strong in the league, and they can use better performances in the league to try to win.

Arsenal have really been challenged this season. The fierce competition in the league has made Arsenal unable to relax at any time, Arsenal, who had been in the league in the previous season, have been in the role of catch-up even so far this season, although they have always been in the first group of the league, but such a passive situation makes Arsenal's players really unaccustomed, they have become accustomed to being high, rather than being like this and always need to chase behind Manchester City.

Although Arsenal is still far from Manchester City at the top of the table, there is still a goal difference, but for Arsenal, the initiative is now in hand; They are now on the same level of points as Manchester City, and they are a more mature team for the Gunners, who believe they will be far more resilient than Manchester City. Manchester City's hot start to the new season has finally been ended, and the current Manchester City's spirit in the heart is also greatly frustrated, so at this time Arsenal's performance will definitely be better, and the Gunners are more sure to win the final victory, because they will not be defeated by some difficulties in front of them, because they are more mature, and their adjustment ability is better!

Finally caught up with Manchester City in the standings, and the Arsenal players were also relieved at this time; Although Arsenal are unbeaten in 12 league games, they have not been able to dominate the standings, which is really a bit embarrassing. And now a draw with Manchester City in the table is an excellent encouragement for Arsenal.

In the 16th round of the league, Arsenal will travel to Manchester City, a real battle for the top spot, with both teams going all out for a place at the top of the league, and only a win in such a game will give them a head start in the league title race. Arsenal have a good chance now as they have a chance to win the game at the Manchester City Stadium and Arsenal will be hoping to give City a bigger blow with their excellent performances.

Arsenal are hungry to win games and they will be hoping to knock Manchester City off the top of the league table, and now Arsenal have their chance to win and take the top spot in the league for the first time in the new season.

You can't avoid it, it's useless to make a wish to avoid anyone, the draw for the Champions League knockout round is coming soon, and the winter break is coming soon; Now Arsenal will have more challenges to face, and there is more and more news that Arsenal legend Thierry Henry is likely to return to the club when the winter transfer window opens, and he is likely to return on loan from Arsenal.

Arsenal are doing well and are strong at the moment, and they are likely to be the top of the league in the next round of the league; However, having said that, judging from the current thin squad of the Gunners, it is difficult to cope with the bombardment of the league, FA Cup and Champions League in succession, and it has become imperative to supplement some powerful generals in winter, especially in Arsenal's forward configuration: Chamak will leave the team to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations, and only Van Persie and Xiao Qing will support the overall situation on the front line; Without a certain rotation and considering Van Persie's some glass men, it will be very difficult for Arsenal to achieve a good result this season if they are unable to guarantee their competitiveness in the crucial second half of the season.

Arsenal's own defensive ability is average, and the team's defensive line injuries are also relatively serious, Arsenal really has a lot of things to consider now; With the introduction of the striker, Arsenal's ability to resist risks will be weakened to the extreme. Arsenal really need to continue to improve the depth of their squad now, at least at this time they can't be satisfied with the results they have now, they need to do better and the most important thing is that they need to do better.

The Gunners are now ready not only for the upcoming Champions League knockout draw, but also for City's battle at the top of the table. The next period for Arsenal is a pivotal moment, and only by guaranteeing the team's record at this crucial moment can the Gunners be able to make a difference this season.

The competition in the league is fierce, and they are inseparable from Manchester City; Now it looks like Arsenal's biggest rival for defending the league title is Manchester City, and if Arsenal want to defend their title, they will have to win a direct confrontation like Manchester City. It's a game for Arsenal that can't afford to lose, and they have to get the game to win.

As for the draw for the knockout rounds of the Champions League, this is something that Arsenal has no control over; Arsenal became the first team to successfully defend the title after the Champions League restructuring, which also shows that Arsenal has become a rising bird and is now the focus of attention of all teams. According to UEFA's urine nature, they definitely don't want to see only Arsenal complete the monopoly of honor in the Champions League. It will definitely be difficult for Arsenal to defend their title, whether it is a coincidence or not, anyway, there are a lot of things for Arsenal to think about now, and they will not have an easy time in the Champions League.

Arsenal were placed in the group of death in the group stage, although Arsenal performed very easily in the group stage to win, but this does not mean that Arsenal will be easy in the knockout round. Xiao Qing also believes that the team will meet more strong teams in the next knockout round, and wants to complete the three consecutive championships, which is a huge challenge for Arsenal, because they are enemies of all teams, even UEFA.

Reaching the knockout rounds means that Arsenal can't make too many mistakes in the next games, and they need to be more consistent and good in such games. Arsenal can't pick their opponents in the knockout rounds, but they can do their part, they can play better to win the game, and they can beat all the opponents to win the game.

If they want to win the final championship title, then they need not only some luck, but also absolute strength. Arsenal are of course hoping to win the game more easily, but they are also ready to fight hard! Entering the knockout round, even if they meet the toughest opponents, Arsenal is sure to win!
