Chapter 17 One to One
Six to zero, Arsenal staged the first massacre of the Champions League in the new season; although it is only the first round of the Champions League group stage now, the terrifying lethality that Arsenal burst into in this game is still terrifying, and the energy that the defending champion burst into in the game makes people feel terrifying.
It's not just a 6-0 win that makes people terrifying, but the most terrifying thing now is Arsenal's terrifying goal status since the new season. When people are accustomed to their goals, when people don't have many surprises about Arsenal's successive victory, this is a very shocking result.
Arsenal scored fourteen goals in four rounds of the league in the new season. In addition to this Champions League group stage, Arsenal in the new season has scored a terrifying twenty goals in five official games! Average four goals per game. Facing such a goal-scoring team, I believe that Arsenal's opponents are really powerless. Arsenal's ability to explode on the offensive end makes everyone feel powerless to compete. Arsenal is simply unsolvable at this time.
Although many people have always believed that offense wins fans' defense and wins championships, especially in games like the Cup, there are indeed more opportunities to overcome difficulties with a stable defense line. But when a team raises their offense to a realm and when they already have stable goals, this may not be worse than those defensive teams, because they are also unsolvable.
In another game in this group, the Donetsk miners beat the guerrillas one-to-zero, but in Group A, everyone knows that Arsenal can now easily lock in the group first, because Arsenal's performance in the new season is too unsolvable, because Arsenal is really too strong. Even after the first round of the Champions League group stage, everyone was attracted by the horror performance of the defending champion.
This is the best Arsenal. Their football is both beautiful and practical. It tear down opponents who have eliminated the Celtics and Sevilla before entering the group stage. Whether it is the main player or the substitute, Arsenal made the Portuguese Super League runner-up. What is even more terrifying is that Arsenal's attack group in this game is powerful. Whether it is Xiao Qing, Fabregas, Chamak and others, they have become perfect members of the offensive system.
Arsenal's game speed, technique, rhythm, quality and running are excellent. When there is no problem in the whole process, when a team runs at high speed and brings an insurmountable feeling to everyone, it is really too powerful. In fact, from the age structure of Arsenal's offensive combination, Arsenal has also completed too many transformations of young people; with the increasingly mature Fabregas and Al Shavin, of course, there are young players Nasri, Walcott and others. Arsenal gradually adds experience to the young team, which also makes the Gunners' offensive group full of vitality and support.
Arsenal won the first victory of the Champions League group stage in the new season, and the strong attack power of the defending champion was fully visible at this time; the Champions League final was held in England. This will be an inspiration for the Premier League semi-finals. The Premier League teams in the new season will no longer rise in full swing again like last season, and strive to enter the New Wembley Stadium. For Arsenal, they have now become a new banner of the Premier League, and it is their expectation to enter the Champions League final again.
Since Emirates Stadium is very close to the New Wembley Stadium, the Gunners now have more expectations for the Champions League in the new season; although they won the first Champions League trophy in the team's history at the Real Madrid home stadium, one of the best stadiums, the Gunners still look forward to more home fans seeing the team create glory, and they hope that more fans can cheer and celebrate with the team. So this time Arsenal must work harder. They must lift the trophy again at the Wembley Stadium closest to the home stadium, and they want more fans to party with them.
Arsenal, who won the first victory in the Champions League in the new season, are very happy. Although they are very happy about the team's current results and are indeed proud of another big victory, the Gunners do not have much time to be happy because the league game continues. Arsenal still has to continue to score a high and a low score with Chelsea in the standings.
Arsenal has won four consecutive leagues in the new season, and their performance since the new season is really good; but at this time, Chelsea, one of Arsenal's main opponents, is not in a bad state in the new season. They have won all four games and they will have to continue to get entangled in the standings, but these two teams are teams that aim to win the championship. They will not be satisfied with the current difficult-to-solve, and there can only be one winner, so they have to use better performance to make their opponents desperate!
It seems that Chelsea scored more than 100 goals in the Premier League last season but is inevitable, because compared with predecessors such as Mourinho, Scolari, Hiddink, and Grant, Ancelotti's construction of Chelsea's offensive system is more in line with the characteristics of the player; and after the start of this season, the Ann Blues proved that through the established fact that he scored 17 goals in four league games, looking at Europe, no matter which offensive combination, Chelsea's forward-line killing matrix can completely look down on it.
The main players of Ancelotti's attacking line are nothing more than Drogba, Anelka, Karau and Maluda. The four of them have scored goals in the league so far. The four King Kongs on the front line have all scored, which is really gratifying. Moreover, Chelsea's forward line is becoming more and more mature now. Although Chelsea's midfield lacks enough creativity, their terrifying front line's powerful lethality is really not inferior to Arsenal with Xiao Qing, because Xiao Qing is only alone to support Arsenal's forward line. Although Chelsea is not as good as Xiao Qing in individual soldiers, they cannot resist their large numbers and strong strength.
Although Arsenal now only has a top striker like Xiao Qing on the front line, Xiao Qing's dominance is getting stronger and stronger in the new season, and with Xiao Qing's outstanding and stable performance, I believe that no one dares to underestimate Arsenal's forward line at this time. Moreover, compared with other teams, Arsenal wins in the midfield, which is full of creativity, so this can also bring more help to Xiao Qing.
In fact, Manchester United may be slightly insufficient on the offensive end compared to Arsenal and Chelsea. Rooney, Berbatov and others are indeed strong, but they lack sufficient dominance. However, this cannot be underestimated by Manchester United. Because Ferguson's team's lineup is really balanced, it is difficult for you to find real shortcomings in Manchester United.
Xiao Qing is not worried about the team's attack ability at all, and Xiao Qing is not worried about the team's current state; Arsenal has won five consecutive victories in the league and the Champions League in the new season. Although the schedule has gradually become closer for the Gunners, they can still ensure their current state. They believe that when their opponents are relatively weak, they will definitely be able to continue to move forward.
After the Champions League, Arsenal now needs to start the league again. Their fifth round of the league is the Black Cat Sunderland, which is a relatively famous lift team. They often hover between the Premier League and the English Championship. Arsenal will naturally not be polite to such a team. Their goal is to win five consecutive league wins. Arsenal is now striving to win the top spot with Chelsea. Arsenal hopes to use its outstanding recent state to drag down Chelsea a little earlier.
Fortunately, the Champions League match was played at home in the last round, so although there was not much rest time, the Gunners did not have to run too much back and forth; although they still needed to go to the Guangming Stadium away, the Gunners could still ensure their physical fitness. The tasks of the new season are getting heavier and heavier, and Arsenal's front line will also become wider. However, the Gunners were ready before the start of the season, and of course they knew that they would definitely need to put in more effort in the new season. So now they are not tired, because the outstanding record of the new season also makes the Gunners perform more excited and expectantly. They hope to create better results, and a series of victories also make the Gunners not have any negative effects on the game.
On September 19, Arsenal, who was visiting the Guangming Stadium, began to win five consecutive victories, and they were very sure of this game. Wenger continued to continue the starting lineup of Braga in the last Champions League massacre. Xiao Qing and his teammates continued to attack the victory at this time.
The strength of the black cat Sunderland is really average, so Arsenal did take the initiative for most of the time in the game; but this time, although Arsenal still firmly grasped the game scene, although Arsenal is indeed more advantageous. However, this time, Arsenal failed to seize the opportunity well. Perhaps such a one-week double game affected the Gunners' physical fitness to a certain extent, and they failed to maintain their best condition.
Arsenal was very lucky in this game, and their goals came very suddenly and strangely; in the 13th minute of the game, Sunderland defender settled down and Ferdinand slowly lifted the ball in the backcourt, and the ball rebounded on the small magic kick that suddenly accelerated and grabbed. The ball flew over about 35 meters away and floated directly into the Sunderland goal. One to zero, Fabregas unexpectedly won the first league goal of the new season. Arsenal also temporarily took the lead with this lucky balloon.
Under such circumstances, Arsenal seemed to be able to continue to maintain the winning streak of the new season, and they really had a chance to gain another big win. However, Arsenal's performance in this game was a bit disappointing because they were a little relaxed when they were in a good game and they did not seize the opportunity well.
The lagging Sunderland strengthened his offense and not long after the start of the second half. Alexander Song dropped Marbranco and was sent off for two yellow cards. Arsenal had to passively fight ten people. In the 75th minute of the game, Rosici knocked the penalty away, which was his first penalty in the Premier League!
