It's a shame that Arsenal were unable to deliver the same heavy blow to Manchester City as Chelsea.

Liverpool are still one point behind Manchester City.

At the end of 16 rounds, Manchester City took the lead with 40 points.

Liverpool are close behind with 39 points.

Manchester United's 38 points seem to be in third place, but in fact, they could jump to the top of the table at any time!

Chelsea 32 points.

Arsenal 29 points.

Arsenal, who were already considered impossible to compete for the title, are not far from a more realistic goal.

Back in the Champions League!

They are just three points clear of Chelsea.

From the 17th round, the Premier League's Christmas Devils schedule kicks off, with four league games played in 10 days!

It also spans Christmas.

Qin Xiong helped Sylvia decorate the interior decoration for Christmas at home.

Georgia has grown into a big guy, this year he brought his girlfriend to the house for Christmas, in addition to meeting some of his little girlfriend's requests to chase stars, such as group photos, autographs, go to her blog, leave a message in the social page and other requirements, this Dutch girl Qin Xiong still likes it.

As soon as he set up the Christmas tree at home, Qin Xiong sat down on the sofa and thought about what kind of decorations or gift boxes should be hung on the Christmas tree, if friends or teammates brought their children to make them happier.

Freddie walked in from the backyard, he threw the phone on the coffee table, and said helplessly to Qin Xiong: "The AFC is going crazy!" ”

Qin Xiong couldn't help laughing, but his eyes were still on the Christmas tree, and said: "If I were the AFC, I would be crazy." ”

Since 2004, Qin Xiong has monopolized the Asian Footballer of the Year award.

No way, there is a mechanism for the selection of Asian Footballer of the Year.

Just looking at Qin Xiong's performance in the Champions League, Europe's top leagues, Asian Cup, and World Cup, his monopoly for many years is well deserved.

But here's the problem!

Qin Xiong doesn't have time to receive the award every year!

I didn't go the year before last, I didn't go last year, and this year, I will definitely go.

Because the devil's schedule of the Premier League collided with the timing of the AFC's awards ceremony.

One of the most important awards of the ceremony, but the winner will not be on stage to receive the award for three consecutive years!

It's strange that the AFC can't go crazy!

Freddie burst out laughing, he looked in the direction of the kitchen, and said, "You know what? The AFC has proposed to let Sylvia claim the award for you this year. ”

Sylvia came out of the kitchen with her head out of the kitchen and said seriously: "No, I have to celebrate my son's birthday, and I have to spend Christmas with my family, so I won't go, and that will definitely not work well!" ”

Even though Sylvia has been a well-known "sister-in-law" for fans around the world over the years, but to accept the award for Qin Xiong, Sylvia doesn't want to shine too much, that will only create topics for the outside world, good, bad, all kinds, these topics into Qin Xiong's ears will inevitably distract Qin Xiong, which is something she must avoid.

Freddie smiled at her, "Of course I knew it wasn't possible, so I refused." ”

Sylvia smiled and continued to work in the kitchen.

"This year, it will be the head coach of the national team who will accept the award for you."

Qin Xiong was silent and looked at the Christmas tree intently.

It's not that he doesn't care about the Asian Footballer of the Year award, and he can monopolize it for many years, and this achievement is probably unprecedented.

But when things become settled, things that can't be changed, things that have already been decided, he doesn't need to think about it.

He certainly wouldn't ask the club for leave at this time to go back to Asia to attend an award ceremony and ignore the club's record.

"Hang up some candy ball gift boxes."

Qin Xiong clapped his hands carefully and made the final decision, and Freddie immediately got up and gave Qin Xiong hands to decorate the Christmas tree together

The 17th round of the Premier League was played on December 22, the day after Qin Xiong celebrated for Sylvia and Qin Ye.

Of the top five in the Premier League, except for Liverpool and Chelsea, they all won!

Liverpool's visit to Wigan Athletic was met with frantic pressing and cutting tactics, and with Christmas just around the corner, Wigan Athletic will be hoping to give their fans a big gift at home.

And they did!

Liverpool have injured two people in succession, Mascherano and Suarez!

In the game, Gerrard, who couldn't hold back his anger, made a two-foot flying tackle, and the opponent took the initiative to apply for a red card.

Lucas was also sent off for accumulating two yellow cards during the game.

Liverpool suffered their worst game of the season so far.

Wounded two people and sent off two.

In the end, it was a 0-0 draw with Wigan Athletic!

After the game, Coman was furious, claiming that Wigan Athletic were a group of criminals playing football on the pitch!

Reds fans also defied Wigan Athletic fans after the game, expressing their anger.

Qin Xiong didn't take a few chances throughout the game, and most of the time he was watching the hand-to-hand combat between the players of the two teams in the midfield.

He was a little helpless after the game, but he was still optimistic.

"We don't have to be impetuous because there is no need to be impetuous because there is something special about this game today, if the level of enforcement in the Premier League is still so low, and if the opponent is allowed to turn a football game into a rugby game on the field, then it will cause a huge loss for the Premier League."

Liverpool dropping points is something that other giants like to hear.

Arsenal beat Aston Villa 2-1 at Villa Park.

Robin van Persie was once again the protagonist of the game.

Manchester City beat Stoke City 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium to win the league for Christmas.

Manchester United swept Fulham 5-0 away and overtook Liverpool in the standings!

Chelsea and Liverpool are the hardest brothers in this round of power, and at White Hart Lane, the Blues drew 1-1 with Tottenham.

The first game of the devil's schedule is over.

Manchester City have 43 points in the standings.

Manchester United 41 points.

Liverpool 40 points.

Chelsea 33 points.

Arsenal 32 points.

The defending champion slipped from second to third!

In the past years of Premier League competition, only Manchester United has achieved a big reversal of the huge disadvantage in the standings after the devil's schedule, and other teams have never staged a similar performance.

Just three days after the first Devils fixture, the second Devils fixture in the Premier League kicks off on the second day of Christmas.

The continuous and intensive schedule is a huge test of the team's overall strength and ability to continue fighting.

Although Liverpool has a number of players injured and suspended, fans still believe that Qin Xiong will carry the team forward at this time.

Qin Xiong did not disappoint the fans, and his attacking combination of Raul and Kuyt won 4-1 at home to Blackburn Rovers with the support of midfielders Alonso, Cabaye, Tiot, and two full-backs, Baines and Johnson.

Qin Xiong's brace in the tournament gave him a huge lead in the scorers' charts, and as 2011 drew to a close, he was on the verge of breaking Gerd Müller's record of 85 goals in all competitions set in 1972! (To be continued.) )
