After the game, this game became the focus of this round of the Premier League, and all the media coverage focused on this game.

Every detail of this game was brought out by the media for discussion.

Yelo's perfect performance of two goals and two assists in the game was naturally the focus of attention.

In two consecutive games, against Chelsea and Manchester United, five goals were scored.

Such a performance cannot be exaggerated.

'It's no surprise that United lost to a real talent, because Yelo has always been like that, he always has a terrifying ability against big teams.

"After 13 league games, Arsenal have won 11 games and are at the top of the table with 34 points, while Manchester City behind them have 31 points, and after Manchester United lost this game, they have 30 points like Chelsea, four points behind Arsenal!"

"The situation of the Premier League title group is already very clear, a total of four teams are in the title group, and Arsenal has played with Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, they have been ahead of these three teams by one position, with this victory, Arsenal confirmed their status as the first favorite to win the title this season!"

The English media have now put the title of "the favourite to win the Premier League this season" on Arsenal's head.

It's not just England.

The media in various European countries are also following the match.

In Spain, the media focused on Yelo's crazy state.

In a match in the 13th round of the English Premier League that ended last night, Arsenal beat Manchester United 4-1 away to win the battle for the top spot, which also brought Arsenal's lead to second place at the top of the table by three points, and Yelo continued to dominate the pitch with a crazy performance. In Spain, he was the ruler of the pitch, and in England, he was the ruler of the pitch as well! ”

"It wouldn't be too strange if Arsenal won the title this season, after all, Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League are definitely higher than that of Malaga. For the European giants, the competitiveness of Arsenal led by Ye Luo in the Champions League is what they are more concerned about. The scene of Yelo leading Malaga to win the Champions League last season is still vivid! ”

"Yes, Arsenal have not always looked very competitive in the Champions League, they have only reached the Champions League final once in their history and have never won the title. But now they have Yelo! With Yelo's Arsenal, who's to say they're not competitive? ”

For the rest of Europe's media, they are concerned about the competitiveness of Arsenal with Yelo in the Champions League.

Can Yelo lead Arsenal to a historic Champions League title?

Can he defend the Champions League?

These issues certainly won't be linked to Arsenal until then.

But now similar discussions have taken place in Spain, in Italy, in Germany, in France, and even in England.

That's what Yelo brings to Arsenal: a huge level of attention and media exposure.

So can Arsenal win the Champions League?

Judging from the discussions, Arsenal this season is at least a candidate for the Champions League title, if not the favourites.

It can be seen from the odds offered by the spinach company.

The odds are now highest with Bayern, followed by Barcelona and then Real Madrid.

The top three of the European superpowers are in the top three.

It makes sense.

Next up are Chelsea and Manchester United, who are tied for fourth.

Then there's Arsenal – at the start of the season, Arsenal are behind AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus and even Manchester City.

And such high exposure and popularity bring.

It's the fear of Arsenal in the Champions League.

After playing the thirteenth round against Manchester United.

Arsenal host the fifth round of the Champions League group stage.

The opponent is Ligue 1 side Montpellier.

It stands to reason that Montpellier, as a strong team in Ligue 1, is actually competitive even if they face Arsenal away.

However, when Montpellier's formation at the Emirates Stadium was revealed, people were a little stunned.

Because Montpellier put on a clear big bus formation: 541

The camera quickly locked on to Montpellier's head coach Rene on the sidelines. Girard.

Girard, who sat in the coach's box of the away team at the stadium, looked as usual, and for Girard, his purpose in setting up the bus at this stadium was also very direct: to get points!

Take points from Arsenal.

Three points dare not ask for luxury,

But one point, you can still think about it.

The group stage was played in four rounds.

Now in first place is Arsenal, who have 10 points.

In second place are Schalke 04 with seven points.

Montpellier, who are in third place, have six points behind Schalke 04 thanks to two wins over the group's weakest rivals, Olympiacos, but Girard did not expect Olympiacos to beat Schalke 04 at the Schalke Stadium.

Therefore, this round of the league if Montpellier loses.

There is a high probability that he will be out of the game one round earlier.

Because if Montpellier loses and Schalke 04 wins, the difference will be reduced to four points, making the final round of the league completely meaningless - for Montpellier.

Therefore.

Montpellier have an urgent need to pick up points, and if they want to qualify, they must get at least one point from Arsenal to qualify for Schalke 04 in the final round of the group stage, beating Schalke 04 at their home stadium, and advancing to the last 16 of the Champions League as the second in the group by virtue of the match relationship or goal difference!

Get at least one point!

This is an obsession from top to bottom in Montpellier.

And if you want to get points, you can't naturally hold it up, and you can't expect to score points against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Putting on a bus became the only choice for Montpellier.

"Montpellier has set up a bus at the Emirates Stadium and Arsenal's Champions League opponents are also afraid of their quality. Such a scene has rarely happened in the past, because Arsenal were not very dominant in the past, and opponents from Ligue 1 such as Montpellier would not be too afraid of Arsenal! On the commentary seat, Andy Gray analyzed.

"That's right, it shows that Arsenal's strength has been recognized, and even a Ligue 1 powerhouse like Montpellier has simply put up a bus when facing them!" Lineker said.

It is different from the perspective of the manager of Montpellier, but everyone actually analyzes it based on one point: Arsenal's strength is far better than Montpellier!

"I didn't expect it to be so crisp on the other side, I thought they would have some ideas," assistant coach Blake complained, his brow furrowed slightly.

Breaking the bus formation is a problem for any team, and Montpellier is not a weak team, although the reputation of the French team is not as big as the Premier League, but in terms of strength gap, their strength may not be worse than some Premier League teams, and even sometimes because they are too unfamiliar, they may accidentally overturn in the gutter.

"We're going to have to get used to this kind of scene in the future." Arsene Wenger doesn't care, he's been through a lot of battles and he's seen a lot.

Now Arsenal are being watched and discussed.

This shows that the quality of the team is recognized, and in this case, it is normal for the team to be tested like this in certain games.

The team will have to think more about breaking the bus in the future.

The fans at the Emirates Stadium were singing and excited from the very beginning of the game.

The team is not under much pressure to qualify from the group now, and basically don't suffer any black-faced things like two consecutive defeats in the group, and the group qualification is basically stable.

Even as long as you can get three points in the last two rounds, there is a high probability that you will be the first in the group.

The Champions League group has the same point as the priority to look at the goal difference, and now the team's goal difference is five more than Schalke 04, which is quite safe.

Get four points and lock up the top spot in the group.

Therefore, Arsenal can accept a draw in this game, as their opponent in the final round is the weakest fish belly Olympiacos in the group.

This draw, the final round victory over Olympiacos also won the group to advance.

So Arsenal fans are not under pressure at all right now.

Even when he saw his opponent swinging out of the bus, he was quite proud.

We at Arsenal are now treated like a super team!

We at Arsenal are invincible.

The Arsenal players are also calm at the moment – this is the confidence and confidence that Yelo brings to the players on the pitch.

With players on the pitch that everyone can rely on, it's much easier for the big guys to play.

Anyway, when the brain doesn't know what to do with the ball, just look at Ye Luo's position.

Under Yelo's leadership, Arsenal's attacking play was fluid and patient.

The ninth minute of the game.

Ye Luo dribbled to the edge of the penalty area, drew the ball to the left wing after attracting the defence, and then leaned towards the left wing himself.

This drew the Montpellier players to the left, seeing Yelo approaching, and the left-back Monreal did not play freely on his own, he honestly passed the ball to Yelo.

In the middle of running, Ye Luo raised his foot, transferred the ball directly without stopping the ball, and transferred the ball from the left to the right.

Montpellier's defense had just moved to the other side, and because of this pass, they had to move more than ten meters to the right side.

With such a left-right arrangement, Montpellier's defensive system is pulled back and forth, and there will inevitably be some gaps in the process - although these gaps are fleeting, and the average player is afraid that they will not be able to grasp it.

However, Ye Luo is not your average player.

As he finished moving the ball and the Montpellier players kept their distance to the other side, Yelo saw a gap on the right side of the edge of the box, which he immediately interspersed.

And Sania, who received the ball, also looked at Ye Luo's position for the first time, and when he saw Ye Luo interspersing this space, he also immediately passed the ball to this area!

"Ye Luo!!"

The commentators exclaimed.

In the run, Ye Luo has already made a shooting move!

The commentators were all deceived by Yelo, let alone the Montpellier players.

When the Montpellier player made a move to block the shot, Yelo raised his right foot and drove the ball into the box!

Fake shot, really!

It was this breakthrough that made the Montpellier defense line chaotic.

Before they could come to their senses, Ye Luo, who led the ball into the penalty area, directly completed a volley!

The ball slammed into the underside of the crossbar and bounced into the goal!

"Yelo shoots. Anyone!! Inside the restricted area. Shot!! Pretty! The ball is in!! ”

"In the 10th minute of the game, Arsenal scored! 1-0 lead at home to Montpellier! ”

"The bus from Montpellier lasted only 10 minutes"

On the sidelines, the head coach of Montpellier looked depressed and helpless.

He put on the tightest defensive formation.

The result was only ten minutes, and it was broken by Ye Luo in ten minutes.

So what to do with this one?

Stick to it? Or is it an offense?

Just when Girard had a headache.

His assistant gave him news that made him very excited.

Schalke 04 are behind away from home!

Olympiacos scored at home!

"Hold on! Keep it up!! ”

Girard breathed a sigh of relief.

This game is even a loss.

As long as Schalke 04 can't get all three points away from home, there will still be a chance at their home stadium in the last round!!

So. Continue to defend to the death, if there is a chance to recover one, then even if Schalke 04 finally completes the reversal, the team still has a chance to appear.

So now the team can't afford to mess with itself.

It's just a ball behind.

Keep defending and don't concede the ball!!

Girard's instructions were quickly given to the Montpellier players on the pitch.

They were also a little confused after conceding the goal, and now the manager said that they will continue to defend to the death, although some of the Montpellier players may not agree in their hearts, but now at least they have stabilized their morale and unified their thinking.

So after the game restarted, it was discovered that Montpellier, who was one goal behind, continued to stick to their opening tactics until now: swing the bus!

Breaking down dense defence is a world-class problem.

This sentence has almost been said by the media.

But since so many media and fans have put this sentence on their lips, it shows that dense defense is indeed difficult to break.

And people have also summarized the ways to break through dense defenses.

In fact, it is nothing more than individual breakthroughs, long-range shots, and headers.

Ye Luo's goal just now was actually a personal breakthrough, suddenly changing the rhythm of the game, and finding a chance to complete the goal.

So now the players in Montpellier are paying attention to the breakthrough of Yelo when they are defending.

They deliberately kept their distance, and Bi Milan was abrupt by Yelo.

However, they prevented Ye Luo from breaking through.

But he couldn't prevent Ye Luo's long shot.

The thirty-second minute of the game.

Yelo shoots a long-range shot through the net from the edge of the box!

Two to zero!

Arsenal took a two-goal lead in the first half.

"Arsenal sealed the win!"

Andy Gray said.

The Arsenal fans in the stands clearly thought the same thing, and they didn't think Montpellier could do anything to counter Arsenal effectively.

They sang and danced in the stands.

This Champions League group stage match has completely become a big carnival for Arsenal fans.

And on the pitch.

After taking a two-goal lead, Arsenal chose to take control of the situation and pass the time in the middle and back.

If Montpellier press out now, they don't mind a through ball hitting them behind them and scoring a few more.

And if they don't press it out.

Arsenal, for their part, were happy to keep that scoreline.

Arsenal's goal in this game is to get all three points, as for goal difference or something, they don't need to think about it.

So there's no need for them to kill them all.

On the football field, there are also people who are sophisticated.

Montpellier continued to defend and did not press out to attack, which shows that they do not have to fight Arsenal on the road.

And now for Montpellier, they have lost this game and still have a chance to return to their home stadium in the final round - they only need to try to beat Schalke 04 to qualify

Anyway, Schalke 04 hasn't equalized yet.

The game ended tepidly in such a situation.

In the end, Arsenal beat Montpellier 2-0 at home.

Schalke 04 were held to a draw away from home by Olympiacos.

Arsenal have 13 points, five points ahead of second-placed Schalke 04.

One round ahead of schedule, lock in the first place in the group.
