Chapter 520 can only be Arsenal
Arsenal's performance is getting better and better, and the team's run-in is becoming more and more satisfying; Xiao Qing believes that the team is now in a very good position, and Arsenal is now starting to burst out with more powerful fighting power, because they can form a good tacit understanding in the game.
Arsenal have been outstanding in recent games, playing high-quality attacks; Arteta owes Arsenal's dominance in passing and possession, and his impressive performance at both ends of the pitch has made Arsenal's three lines more beautiful and tightly linked. Xiao Qing is naturally the highlight of this wave of winning streaks, but the commander behind him, Arteta, is the real hero behind the scenes.
In terms of footwork awareness or ability, Arteta may not be able to compare with Xiaofa, but the former Everton midfielder has his own composure, he never makes unnecessary deliveries in the midfield, and he will not squander the opportunity to shoot in the front, and in front of the penalty area, in the handling of free kicks, his team sense is admirable. Arteta is the kind of player who knows the ball very well and is the lubricant for a team to run smoothly. Despite only coming to the Emirates Stadium as an 'unproven stand-in' for the small French, with Arteta's current performances, Gunners fans can rest assured that he will fit well into the team and that he will be able to feed Arsenal's forward line with peace of mind.
So far this season, Arteta has been running like a metronome for the vast majority of the time, so he has not been able to put more energy into attacking, and even on the scorer list this season, even within the team, Arteta's name cannot be seen. A playmaker centre-back who is not particularly good at scoring, he scored every season during his time with the Toffees, even before he started the season with Arsenal. Mikel Arteta is Arsenal's on-field conning tower. The team also doesn't need more of his individual offense in the game. He doesn't need to sprint the opponent's goal again and again like Xiaofa; Because Arsenal are talented in attack. What Van Persie's combination needs is to make sure the team runs as smoothly as possible.
Arsenal are getting better, now they have locked up the Champions League group stage with a strong winning streak, and they are also catching up in the league, and now they are only one game away from the league leaders Manchester City, and the current Arsenal schedule is relatively easy, and for Manchester City, they can also feel more pressure, because Arsenal are closely behind them. Because they know Arsenal's quality and heritage. The Gunners are undoubtedly stable and mature enough compared to Manchester City, and they also have full experience in the process of competing for the title; After a good start, then Arsenal will certainly have more confidence and confidence in the mid-to-late game, because they can ensure that they make as few mistakes as possible in the process of fighting for the title, which is an ability that Manchester City does not have!
The Gunners have their own confidence, and success over the past two seasons has given them more opportunities to adjust themselves at this time, when the Arsenal players know what choices they need to make. The Gunners really don't care that there is still a game left behind Manchester City, and they don't care that Manchester United and Chelsea are biting them to the death in the table; Because the Arsenal players have that confidence, they believe that in moments like these, Arsenal will be the team that shows the most resilience. They believe Arsenal are what they can do in this fierce title race.
Arsenal are ready to continue their efforts, although they are in a good position in the league at the moment. However, the current results are far from satisfying for the ambitious Arsenal, because the Arsenal players know that they can perform better in the game, because the Gunners know that it is a good opportunity. In the next few rounds of the league, Arsenal's opponents are generally not strong, and what Arsenal needs to do at this time is to grab points like crazy, so as to better consolidate their position in the standings, and also to put a lot of pressure on Manchester City, which is leading in front. If Arsenal want to win the league title, then they need to seize the opportunity at this time, this is the moment when Arsenal will lay a solid foundation for the title, and at this time to achieve excellent performances, at this time to get more points, then Arsenal will be relatively easy in the first half of the game.
In the 11th round of the league, Arsenal sat at the Emirates Stadium to face West Bromwich Albion; Arsenal had no reservations in this game, they played the main force in the game, and in this game Arsenal once again broke out their strong performance; Getting three points at home is really not too difficult for Arsenal, and they did it with ease.
Arsenal broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute of the game, Walcott received Ramsey's pass from the right side against offside, the little tiger's single shot was saved by the opposing goalkeeper Ben Foster, and Xiao Qing, who was outflanked in the middle, easily scored a close-range right-footed shot to help Arsenal take a 1-0 lead, which was a very good start for Arsenal, because Xiao Qing's scoring form was still hot, because Arsenal continued to maintain excellent form in this game.
It was a joyous moment for Arsenal fans as they continued their strong run of form and they had all the more reason to believe they could make a great run of success this season. In fact, looking at Arsenal's performance during this period, they are really not necessarily worse than last season; Now Arsenal is constantly trying to create better results, they are also continuing to work hard in the game, because they want to do better, Arsenal players are not satisfied yet, because the game is still going on, because Arsenal are not on the top of the league yet, it is not time for them to relax.
Arsenal are continuing to work hard as they are hungry for more wins; The Gunners have not relaxed their demands on themselves, knowing that if they want to be the best champion, they will need to work harder and pay more attention in the game. It was a seven-game winning streak in the league during that period, but Arsenal were not satisfied because they wanted to be even better.
Arsenal comprehensively suppressed West Bromwich Albion, in the 38th minute of the game, Alexander Song picked up the pass in front of the penalty area and sent it to the right side of the penalty area, Xiao Qing did not wait for the ball to fall and hooked the ball back to the goal, and Van Persie leaked the ball in front of the point, Vermaelen followed up with a left-footed goal outside the penalty spot, 2-0 Arsenal extended the lead, and they basically won this game! This game is completely in Arsenal's control, and this game is completely in Arsenal's rhythm.
Arsenal comfortably beat West Bromwich Albion 3-0 at home to make it their eighth straight league win in the new season. At this time, Arsenal's strong performance caused an uproar, because Arsenal performed so well. Although they lost Fabregas and Nasri at the core level in the off-season, Arsenal only went on to get stronger after the slump and struggle in the early part of the season, and their crazy performances during this period made everyone forget about Cesc Fabregas, because Arsenal's fighting power is still improved compared to last season.
Arsenal has nine wins, one draw and one loss, and Arsenal, who has 28 points, is of course exceptionally good; However, although Arsenal has achieved a crazy wave of eight consecutive wins, Arsenal's position in the standings is still a little awkward, because Manchester City in front of them also won, and behind them Chelsea is also narrowly beating their opponents, and Manchester United has also won a game.
With Yaya Toure's header scoring the winning goal, Manchester City narrowly defeated Queens Park Rangers 3-2 away, winning eight consecutive wins in all competitions recently, and remaining unbeaten with 31 points in the first 11 rounds of the Premier League; Although Arsenal's form is unusually hot, the performance of the Manchester City team at this time seems to be even more crazy, Arsenal's excellent record is only in the second place in the standings so far, which also looks like a support for Manchester City's crazy start to the season unbeaten!
In the face of Manchester City's crazy performance now, Xiao Qing and his teammates only smiled bitterly; It's not that Arsenal aren't good enough, it's that Manchester City's crazy outburst during this period is really scary. Last season, Manchester City were just a team trying to qualify for the Champions League, but after one off-season, their burst of energy was impressive.
I have to admit that there must be Manchester City in the transfer market in the past few offseasons waving cheques to bring a lot of outstanding players, including under Mancini's tutelage, Manchester City has finally begun to mature, their run-in has reached a very good state, which is also the key reason why they have been in the limelight in the league for a while.
Although Manchester City's performance during this period was really good, the Gunners at this time were still full of confidence; It's just a game away and Arsenal believe they will close that gap soon. And most importantly, they don't think City can stay that way, and once City make a mistake on their own, then it's Arsenal's performance moment. Besides, Arsenal also have a direct game against Manchester City, in which Arsenal will kick Manchester City directly into the endless abyss.
The league seems to be very intense, which also greatly stimulates the enthusiasm of the fans; For Arsenal, what they need is to take out those rivals, they are doing well at the moment, but it is not enough because they need to be better, there can only be one good team in the league and that is Arsenal!
