1.6 million evil Christmas schedules
The next game was also nine minutes of stoppage time, but fortunately, Liverpool, who played one man less, could not continue to put Arsenal under pressure at home, and the score of 2:3 was maintained until the end of the game.
Sun Xiang won the best of the game with 3 goals, and also took the game ball home.
After 17 rounds of fixtures, the Premier League is about to embark on an exciting and painful Christmas schedule as the rest of the league enters the break.
From the 26th to January 1 of the following year, the Premier League team will complete 3 games in 7 days, and if it weren't for the small size of the UK, it is estimated that the distance back and forth would make the players complain.
Take a look at Arsenal's next three rounds. They host Queens Park Rangers on 26 December, followed by a trip to Newham, East London, on the afternoon of 28 December, to take on West Ham United, followed by a visit to St Mary's on the afternoon of 1 January.
The seven-day, three-game schedule tests the depth of the team's bench and the physical condition of the players themselves, but fortunately there is nothing else to do before the Christmas schedule, and the Premier League teams will also have the opportunity to rest.
How to arrange the next 7 days of games in this only 5-day vacation has become the main task of the head coaches of each team.
On December 23, Wenger had a day off for the whole team, after a league game with Liverpool, and the next day was another day of training, Wenger was worried that the players' physical problems would occur, so he let the whole team have a day off.
Early in the morning, Sun Xiang drove to Aunt Susan's apartment to pick up Wang Jing and send her back to China first.
At the airport, after the two of them came to a parting kiss, they both left in different directions.
Wang Jing didn't have anything to take when she returned to China this time, but because she was going to Sun Xiang's house to visit her future parents, she couldn't go back empty-handed, so she brought some small items into her suitcase, thinking that she would bring them to the second elder when she returned to China.
Sun Xiang didn't know about this matter, and he thought that Wang Jing would bring a lot of bags every time he returned to China, so he didn't ask.
And today, Sun Xiang has another important thing after sending Wang Jing off.
He drove to a western restaurant in south London, where he was going to sign his second broker agreement with Mendes.
"Decided?"
Walking into the suite that Mendes had booked, he was already sitting inside waiting for Sun Xiang.
"Of course, the conditions you gave me can't refuse." With that, Sun Xiang sat in the seat opposite Mendez.
"I just like people like you."
Mendes smiled and took out a document from his purse, which he had prepared a long time ago, and handed it to Sun Xiang.
"Then sign it!"
"Can I take another look?" Sun Xiang asked.
"Oh of course, it's your right." Mendez made a "please" gesture.
After reading it carefully, Sun Xiang let out a sigh of relief, and then signed his name at the end of the document.
"Then a pleasure to work with, Jorge." Sun Xiang stretched out his hand.
"It's going to be a pleasure, I promise you, I'm going to get you the best in the world!" After speaking, Mendes shook Sun Xiang's hand.
This handshake also became the foundation for Sun Xiang to create a football myth in the future.
...........................................
"By the way, Sun, I said I was going to give you a gift last time."
"Gifts?"
The two of them were enjoying the most luxurious Western food in the United Kingdom, when Mendes suddenly took out a small box from his bag.
"Here you go, this is what I sent you." He threw the small box to Sun Xiang.
At first glance, Sun Xiang thought it was a ring, after all, this box was too easy to cause reverie, but then the ensuing sense of weight made him give up the idea.
"Open it up and take a look, I'm sure you'll like it." Mendes said.
As soon as it was opened, there was something like a remote control lying quietly inside. Sun Xiang may not know what this thing is for, but he definitely won't know the pattern on this thing.
"Jorge, this ....."
"It's time for your old Jaguar to be replaced, you're not worth the right car. That must have been given to you by that dead fat man of Raiola. ”
Sun Xiang looked at the remote control with a huge wing pattern in his hand, holding his hand and shaking uncontrollably.
"Vanquish from Aston Martin, I'll send a crew to drive you through tomorrow, provided you give me this remote control."
Sun Xiang changed two cars in a row in half a year, and he didn't spend a penny.
And the market price of this car is more than 600,000 pounds, Mendes seems to have put a lot of money on Sun Xiang.
Not only did Puma not charge any signing fees, but it also gave him a luxury car worth nearly one million, but these should be within the controllable range for him as a super agent, after all, how can he do it if he is not smart in this business.
After that, the two also agreed to sign the endorsement of Puma, which was tentatively scheduled for January, but considering that there was still an Asian Cup match to be played in January, it was unrealistic to let Sun Xiang travel back and forth between China, Britain and Germany, so Mendes said that he would try to let them send someone to the UK to sign, which would save a lot of time.
Anyway, it's a sure thing, it's just a matter of time, just like Raiola told himself that Puma was going to sign with him, it's a matter of time, so it's good to focus on the game.
So the next day, major media broke the news that Sun Xiang signed a contract with Mendes, and Sun Xiang became the fastest player in history to change agents.
However, this news did not spread for long, because the upcoming Christmas schedule is the most eye-catching.
On 26 December 2018, Arsenal played Queens Park Rangers at home in the first game of the Christmas schedule, with Arsenal playing semi-mainly, and no main players on the bench.
Sun Xiang, one of the few main players who started the game, gave the team the lead with a header in the opening 10 minutes of the first half, and then assisted teenager Nketiah to open his own goal account.
Arsene Wenger almost replaced his main players in the second half, leaving only Wilshere in midfield and Monreal in midfield.
In the end, Queens Park Rangers scored a late goal and Arsenal won 2-1 at home.
Two days later, Arsenal beat West Ham 2-1 away, with Sun Xiang starting the full game and scoring a goal.
At the same time, due to the draw between Chelsea and Changchang, Arsenal also managed to overtake first-place Chelsea by one point and came to the top of the standings.
In the final game of the Christmas schedule on January 1, Arsenal played Southampton, and Arsene Wenger gave Sun Xiang a rest in this game, who also watched the game at home.
In the end, Arsenal suddenly lost to the Saints 0:2 in this game.
Chelsea also lost to Tottenham in the London derby, while Manchester City came on top in the 73rd minute to beat Sunderland in the 73rd minute to take the tally to 45 points.
After 20 rounds of the Premier League, the rankings of the six giants of the Premier League are as follows:
Manchester City are in first place with 45 points; This is followed by Arsenal with 44 points, third-placed Chelsea with 43, Manchester United with 34 and Tottenham with 33, while Reds Liverpool are ninth in the league with 27 points, ahead of him Everton, Southampton, Swansea City and Stoke City.
Halfway through the league season, the Premier League teams are preparing for the final sprint of the league on the opening day of the winter window.
