Chapter 21 Suppressing the Opponent
The Gunners were in a good mood. After receiving the lesson of poor performance in the game because of carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, the Gunners readjust their mindset and set out. They all hope to achieve better results, and they cannot be complacent about some of the current victories; so the Gunners are beginning to forget their results last season, and they have temporarily forgotten a series of victories in the new season, because now is not the time to be happy, and they still need to continue to maintain good shape.
After eliminating Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup, Arsenal won all seven games in the new season's main matches, including five consecutive wins in the league, and also won a big victory in the Champions League group stage. It can be said that Arsenal is really proud of their current capital, and their record in the new season is really outstanding.
However, although Arsenal won five consecutive victories in the league, they still cannot go further in the league standings because Chelsea also won five consecutive victories, and Arsenal is still ranked second in the standings because of its disadvantage in goal difference. Chelsea broke the deadlock with Kalu in the fifth round of the league. Then Maluda scored twice, Drogba fixed the score at four to zero, and the leader Chelsea played at home to face the newly promoted Blackpin. Since the new season, the Blues have scored 21 goals in five rounds, and averaged more than four goals per game. Their offensive firepower still looks better than Arsenal. Ancelotti's Chelsea has really burst out with terrifying energy on the offensive end.
In the focus game of the fifth round of the Premier League, Manchester United, who was at home at Old Trafford Stadium, defeated Liverpool by Baba's hat-trick 3-2; Liverpool still failed to win away games this season, with only five points after five rounds. Although Manchester United failed to win all, they also remained unbeaten with three wins and two draws. Now Manchester United is also with eleven points, chasing behind Arsenal and Chelsea who are fully victorious in the standings.
Manchester City beat Wigan Athletics, and Tottenham Hotspur also won the wolf away. Although it is difficult for them to threaten Arsenal's position in a short period of time, and although they are indeed unlikely to become the favorites to win the championship, their strength cannot be underestimated. They are likely to be challengers who threaten the three favorites to win the championship.
Because the game tasks in the new season are getting heavier and all competitions are basically launched in full swing. Therefore, Arsenal now has no more rest time; after the League Cup, Arsenal is preparing for the sixth round and the second game of the Champions League group stage that will begin. Although Arsenal has no rest time recently, fortunately, their opponents are relatively weak.
It has to be admitted that although Arsenal has won seven consecutive victories in various competitions since the new season, only Liverpool's strength is still relatively good among the opponents in the league, and Tottenham Hotspur's semi-main lineup in the League Cup is not very competitive. So Arsenal's current record is indeed very scary, but there is still a lack of convincing power in these victories because their opponents are not outstanding enough.
The opponent in the sixth round of the Arsenal League was the newly promoted Sir Bromwich, who was full of confidence in this game; because Arsenal is in good shape now, because the Gunners have adjusted their mentality, and of course, it is also because this game is Arsenal's home court. So the Gunners believe that this game will be a game for them, and they are full of confidence in achieving a six-game winning streak in the new season.
Arsenal's main competitors encountered challenges at this time. Chelsea's opponent in this round was Manchester City, which recruited troops in the summer. At this time, Arsenal was looking forward to Manchester City's ending Chelsea's strong five-game winning streak in the league.
So far in the new season, Arsenal and Chelsea have maintained a record of complete victory. At this time, the Gunners naturally hope to be the leader of the league. Speaking of which, the Gunners are also depressed. They have won five consecutive league wins, and there are also many big wins such as 6-0 or 4-0 in the game, but they still cannot reach the top of the standings. This is indeed a depressing thing, which really makes the defending champion a little embarrassed. Their performance is really great. But unfortunately, their opponents are too strong. With such strong performance as Arsenal, they have not yet won the leader of the league. Xiao Qing can only sigh that it is the crime of right and wrong.
However, although Arsenal has not yet won the league leader, Xiao Qing believes that Arsenal will definitely not be able to continue to be in its current position. They believe that they will definitely be able to go further. As for Chelsea, maybe they can perform well, but Arsenal is more confident that they can ensure excellent form. Arsenal believes that they can take the initiative in the next game. They now have to compete with Chelsea to see who is the last team in the new season that can guarantee a complete victory.
On September 25, Arsenal, the defending champion at the Emirates Stadium, faced the newly promoted Sybromvic. Arsenal really does not intend to suffer a home defeat in this game. Although Arsenal lost two games throughout the season last season, their home court has never fallen, so Arsenal in the new season definitely does not want this record to be broken. They hope to create a better record this season. Of course. Arsenal and Chelsea are now in a difficult position to score in the standings. Both teams that have maintained a complete victory before are hoping to create a better result. They hope to lay some advantages in the league championship battle at the beginning of the new season.
Goalkeeper Amunia; Sania, Vermalen, Koscheerny, and Klich on the back line; midfielders Fabregas, Diabi, Nasri, and Al Shavin; Chamak and Xiao Qing on the forward line. Although the main midfielder Alexander Song was suspended for two yellows and one red in the previous game, this seems to have no big impact on Arsenal, because their midfield lineup is still quite good.
West Bromwich is obviously more afraid of Arsenal's offensive ability, goalkeeper Carson; Yara, Pablo, Olsen, and Shorey on the back line; double midfielder Mremb and Schalner; attackers Bren, Morrison, and Thomas; single forward Odemwinji.
West Bromwich gathered heavy troops in the midfield and backcourt. They did not want to give Arsenal's midfielder more opportunities to organize attacks calmly. They used the advantage of numbers to compress Arsenal's offensive space as much as possible. Arsenal's performance on the offensive end in the new season is really too strong, so West Bromwich naturally needs to pay attention at this time; they want to get points at the Emirates Stadium. The first thing to ensure is that Arsenal cannot score too many goals. Facing Arsenal, all teams now know that the first thing to do is to strengthen defense and play against Arsenal against the offensive end. There are really not many teams who can compete with Arsenal on the offensive end. The newly promoted West Bromwich obviously does not have such confidence.
The atmosphere at Emirates Stadium is still hot. Arsenal is a team with a number of gorgeous styles in Europe. Their football is very beautiful, which really attracts the attention of fans. Moreover, Arsenal has a very good record in the past two seasons, especially last season's double championship, especially in the team's first Champions League championship in the history of the team. This has further stimulated the emotions of fans. Therefore, Arsenal in the new season is very much anticipated and paid attention to by fans, and Arsenal's performance is indeed surprising. Arsenal in the new season has maintained a record of winning in all competitions, which also makes fans even more excited. They are all looking forward to the team's continued victory.
Xiao Qing and his teammates were very calm, although they really enjoyed the atmosphere of home games. But the Gunners also knew that it was not a time to be complacent, and they still needed to concentrate more on the game. So the Gunners are very low-key. They want to win more games, and now they need to perform more professionally and pay attention. As for celebrations, wait until the game is won before starting!
Although West Bromvic gathered heavy troops in the middle and backcourt, it was obviously impossible to have too much impact on Arsenal. At least the Gunners performed very well on the offensive end at this time. The Gunners are still continuing their wonderful performances now.
In the eighth minute of the game, Krish dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area in the backcourt and received a cross from Krish. Xiao Qing shot with his left foot from twenty yards to West Bromvic defender Pablo, while Arsenal striker Chamak started a little slowly and failed to form a supplementary shot. In the tenth minute, Xiao Qing broke through the opponent's midfielder Schalner and was fouled. Then Nasri took a free kick and bounced back on the wall. Xiao Qing quickly followed up and kicked into the stands with a burst shot.
Arsenal showed great aggressiveness at the beginning of the game, and Arsenal is now very threatening on the offensive end; although West Bromvic does not have much offensive space because they strengthened their defense, Arsenal's strength on the offensive end is really too strong. So at this time, Arsenal can also use its super offensive ability to create threats.
Xiao Qing performed very actively in the game. Although Xiao Qing has not had a rest since the new season, Xiao Qing is not worried about his physical condition at all. Xiao Qing is now very energetic. Breakthroughs and passes are constantly creating threats, and Xiao Qing's ability to shoot is constantly increasing. Now their opponents also know that Xiao Qing's shooting range is very wide, so this also makes Arsenal's opponent passively expand the defense space at this time. This is definitely a good thing for Xiao Qing who can break through and shoot, because his rich offensive methods often make the opponent lose sight of the other, because this can also give Xiao Qing more room for choice.
The atmosphere at Emirates Stadium is getting hotter and hotter, and West Bromvic is once again suppressed by Arsenal's offensive. At this time, the gun fans seemed to have seen the team's goal, because Arsenal once again replayed the rhythm of the previous few games, and they did not give their opponents any chance at all. Their fierce and fierce offensive is likely to score in the next round of the game.
