Chapter 53: The Tide of Injuries and Illnesses
After Sanchez scored.
With no singing to be heard at Goodison Park, Everton fans had a hard time accepting that their team had resisted for just ten minutes before falling apart.
Ten minutes, two goals conceded.
It completely quieted the fans at Goodison Park.
This game is out of play now.
Even the most optimistic Everton fans.
Until now, we can only pray that the team will not continue to concede goals.
After all, if you want to say that you are playing against another team, that's it.
But you're facing Arsenal now.
Facing Arsenal with Yelo.
Arsenal were able to win the Premier League title last season because of Yelo.
Otherwise, why would Arsenal, which has always been fighting for the top four, compete for the title?
Single-handedly, Arsenal has become the strongest in the Premier League!
This strength.
Everton fans are naturally clear.
In the stands, many Everton fans had a look of despair on their faces.
I can't play this game.
Everton fans are right
In the next game.
Everton's players also wanted to pick themselves up and fight back against Arsenal.
But they really don't have a lot of ways to attack.
Especially when the ball is at Arsenal's feet most of the time.
They tried to fight back, but they couldn't.
Wide cross.
Arsenal have Van Dijk in the middle.
The only good thing for Everton was that they didn't concede any more goals in the first half.
This somewhat gave some Everton fans a little bit of a second half. Fantasy.
Second.
Everton's illusions were soon shattered.
Forty-ninth minute of the game.
Yelo's long-range shot creates a corner.
Subsequently.
Virgil van Dijk scores with a header from a corner.
Scored the third goal of the game.
It was a goal that sealed the win and extinguished the fighting spirit of the Everton players who wanted to fight back.
This is the end of it.
Everton's players lost their fighting spirit after conceding a third goal.
They are no longer counting on being able to stop Arsenal's winning streak.
After Van Dijk's goal.
There are still 40 minutes left until the end of the game.
It stands to reason that this is a long time.
It's not the end of the game.
If Everton can score a goal and narrow the gap to two, then there is still a bit of drama – in theory.
But by this time all the commentators had focused on Arsenal's record.
"Fifteen wins in a row! Arsenal surpassed the record they had set. ”
"In 2004, which was a great year for Arsenal, Arsenal went 49 games unbeaten and won 14 games in a row, and we all thought that this record would continue for a long time, and no team would come close to that record for a short time. However, I didn't expect that in less than ten years, the king of Arsenal has returned"
"Arsenal are like a comet, suddenly revived, they are making great strides towards the peak of Arsenal, and even this time Arsenal is likely to create a higher peak!"
'Who can predict in which league game Arsenal will lose?'
When the referee blows the whistle for the end of the game.
Goodison Park is quiet.
Some of Everton's fans left early.
After all, there are a lot of fans who come to the stadium to watch the game.
If you leave late, you can't catch up with the second-way car.
Even the Everton fans who held out to the end.
In the first time after the end of the game.
Also left the court.
Everton's players also left in a hurry.
The whole stadium became the world of Arsenal players and fans.
The Arsenal fans who came to the away stadium celebrated their victory with the players and celebrated their record.
"Fifteen! Fifteen consecutive game wins! Arsenal did it! They set a new record!! ”
From now on.
Every game Arsenal wins.
They're going to expand that record by one point.
In Arsenal's current form.
It's really hard to imagine what Arsenal will lose in any of them.
At this moment, Arsenal is a big mountain in the entire Premier League, a big mountain in the hearts of all teams!
"We're still moving on!"
Facing the microphone of the journalists.
Ye Luo didn't have too excited on his face.
Fifteen games.
It's nothing.
He's going to keep going, keep winning!
Win it all!!
For Ye Luo.
Fifteen consecutive wins weren't enough to make his celebration too crazy.
But in the media the next day.
The focus is, of course, on Arsenal's new record.
It should be said that the whole world of football.
People are paying attention to this record.
Meanwhile.
Some media have also begun to count how many games Arsenal have gone unbeaten across the season.
"The Premier League has started fifteen games this season, and last season's Arsenal also had a sixteen-game unbeaten run that has continued until now, that is. Now Arsenal is unbeaten in 31 seasons! ”
"There are 21 league games left in the season, which means that Arsenal may even set a new unbeaten record this season, surpassing their own record of unbeaten across the season set in 2004!!"
"Can they do it?"
"We'll see."
Originally, everyone thought.
December's Devil's Schedule Season.
Arsenal will be in a bit of trouble.
But after a few games in December.
People are interested in Arsenal's quality.
Or that he was completely convinced of Ye Luo's strength.
December 17, round 16 of the league.
Arsenal beat Aston Villa 3-1.
December 20, the seventeenth round of the league.
Arsenal won 2-0 against Fulham.
On December 23, the eighteenth round of the league.
Arsenal beat Stoke City 2-0.
On December 26, the nineteenth round of the league.
Arsenal beat Queens Park Rangers 4-1.
Four successive wins extended Arsenal's winning streak to a terrifying round of nineteen.
It also allowed Arsenal to win the halfway championship without any suspense.
These games are quite densely arranged.
Although Arsene Wenger has done quite a bit of rotation.
But it still caused injuries in the team.
Cazorla and Mikel Arteta have been injured in quick succession.
At the same time, Sanchez and Monreal were also injured.
The devil's arena is too much of a test for the players.
It's not just Arsenal, actually.
The whole Premier League.
Now, it's impossible for any team to be injury-free after a devilish December.
In the Premier League. Many managers have called for the Bundesliga to establish a winter break system to give players time to rest.
After all, players are mortal creatures, not iron men.
Under this kind of schedule.
Injuries due to fatigue are inevitable.
The Premier League's inhumane schedule has been criticized by many coaches.
But for the FA.
Where is it important to make money in the health of players?
After playing the 19th round of the league on the evening of the 26th.
At noon on the 29th.
The twentieth round of the league is coming.
Other words.
Arsenal are in between these two competitions.
I only rested for two and a half days.
Before that, they had played several games in a three-day row.
No way.
Arsene Wenger was only able to make a big rotation in this game.
December 29th.
In the twentieth round of the league, Arsenal played against Sunderland.
Ye Luo still started.
But his teammates around him are missing a lot of main players.
In this case.
Arsenal's winning streak.
It came to an abrupt end.
However, Arsenal did not lose either.
Sunderland were awarded a penalty in the final minute of the game!
The ball hit Van Dijk's arm, but whether the handball was enough to blow a penalty is a matter of opinion.
With this controversial penalty.
Sunderland drew with Arsenal.
Arsenal's winning streak stands at nineteen games.
They are still undefeated.
There is also a chance to break Arsenal's unbeaten record.
After the game, Ye Luo's face was also a little unsightly when he was interviewed by the media.
"This penalty should not have happened, our victory was stolen!"
Ye Luo returned to the reporter's question and turned to leave.
The media also saw Arsenal's weakness from this game.
'Yes, Arsenal have a strong starting line-up, but they don't have much of an advantage over the rest of the big teams. One could even say that they are at a disadvantage, but for Arsenal, they have built up a big enough advantage in the first half of the season that they now have 58 points, nine points ahead of second-placed Manchester City, and are in first place, but will they have an up-and-down form in the second half of the season? No one can say. ”
The media is steered by the wind.
When Arsenal won on a winning streak before.
Arsenal seem to be invincible.
Now Arsenal have been held to a draw by Sunderland.
Predictions are starting to make Arsenal go downhill again.
However, to the surprise of the media.
Arsenal won four games in January!
The first is an FA Cup game.
Away at Masfit, Arsenal progressed 3-0 to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
This was followed by matches against Norwich, West Bromwich Albion and Swansea.
Arsenal have won three in a row.
Maintained their unbeaten rhythm.
As the time entered February 2013.
The knockout rounds of the Champions League are about to begin!
Arsenal first play Real Madrid at home!
This is a Champions League knockout game, and the schedule is not easy to play.
Before that, though, Yelo was given three days off – the one Wenger gave him.
Because the national team break is coming.
Ye Luo could naturally get some time to rest.
The Dragon FA is really a good guy - Wenger is very grateful in his heart.
December and January are the busiest months of the Premier League.
Originally, everyone thought that Arsenal had survived these two months, and there was basically no problem.
But after the two-week international break that began in February.
Arsene Wenger began to scratch his head.
Maybe it had something to do with the fatigue of the previous intensive schedule.
This time the national team break is back.
Arsenal have ushered in a wave of injury suspensions.
Harry Kane, Van Dijk, Fabinho.
Three main players are injured.
Plus Arteta and Cazorla, who were injured before.
After two weeks of international breaks.
Arsenal regrouped.
The main lineup was reduced by half all at once.
Before the match against Real Madrid.
The team's lineup suddenly became overstretched.
Several of Arsenal's main players have been injured one after another.
It is impossible to hide from the media.
"Before the game against Real Madrid, Arsenal suddenly ushered in a wave of injuries, Arsenal's luck is really bad, they were in good shape, and even many media thought that Arsenal could eliminate Real Madrid and enter the Champions League quarterfinals, but now. With several key players out injured, Arsenal's future is uncertain.
Sky Sports' report was very pessimistic.
No matter what team it is.
There are so many main forces missing all at once.
It's definitely going to have an unbearable impact on the team.
Especially if you don't stop playing against a strong team like Real Madrid.
'Perhaps the only good news for Arsenal is that Yelo is not injured.
'Arsenal have had so little luck to have a wave of injuries ahead of such an important game as the knockout stages of the Champions League.
"It's not yet known what happens to Mikel Arteta and the like, but it will take at least a week or more, which means the impact is not just on this game, but also on the next leg of the game between the two sides, and the 24th round of the league between these two games. Arsenal host Manchester United's double red club!! ”
"First went to the Bernabeu to play Real Madrid, came back to play Manchester United, and then played Real Madrid at home, three games in a row were strong conversations, and when the main team is injured in half, Arsenal may really be able to guarantee that they can win all three games. Arsene Wenger needs to make a trade-off. ”
The media in England are lamenting Arsenal's bad luck.
Manchester's media cheered en masse.
Originally, Manchester felt that this season's league title was out of play.
Because Arsenal are too strong.
So strong that even Manchester United find it difficult to compete for the league title.
But who would have thought.
There is no end to the road!!
Arsenal will suffer a wave of injuries during such a crucial schedule!!
Arsenal will play Real Madrid first and then Manchester United with the remnants.
Then I have to go to Madrid to play away games.
Three games in a row were high-intensity matches, strong conversations.
A game of this intensity could make Arsenal's squad even further. Damaged!
Other words.
There is a good chance that Arsenal will be under such pressure.
Crushed!!
Fans of Manchester United and Manchester City were excited.
They see hope.
See, Arsenal pull off the hope!!
Madrid.
Carlo Ancelotti is also keeping an eye on his opponent's situation.
The injury of the opponent's core players is of course great news for Real Madrid.
The second place in the group put Ancelotti under great pressure. Especially in the draw, a strong team like Arsenal was drawn.
Originally, with Real Madrid's background, they would not be afraid of Arsenal.
But now
Yeroke is the captain of Arsenal.
Real Madrid suffered too much in front of Yelo.
Now face Ye Luo again.
It is extremely stressful for the royal horse to go up and down.
And now Real Madrid have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Ye Luo is strong, but Arsenal can hurt half of the main force!
Carlo Ancelotti doesn't believe in Yelo alone.
What can Arsenal do in front of the stars of Real Madrid!
