Chapter 641 Halfway Summary
Arsenal defeated the Queen Rangers at home 2-0 to win. In the first half of the game, Arsenal also ranked first in the standings with 15 wins, three draws and one loss, and they also locked in the half-time championship. In this fiercely competitive season, Arsenal performed very well. Although Manchester City's sudden emergence in the first half of the game, Arsenal was in the role of a chaser in many cases, but Arsenal also maintained enough resilience and regained the position of the leader.
In this round, Manchester City challenged Sunderland away, and Blue Moon was defeated by an opponent with an offside goal, which was defeated by the third game of the season. Their current record is 13 wins, three draws and three losses, and they also trailed Arsenal by 42 points with 42 points. As for Manchester United's performance in this round, it was also not good. Although it happened to Ferguson's 70th birthday, Manchester United, who was at home at Old Trafford Stadium, lost 2-3 to deputy squad leader Blackburn, suffered a third league defeat this season. They and Manchester City are now in the third place in the standings with the same points. The Blues Chelsea faced Aston Villa at home. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Chelsea finally lost to Aston Villa one-3 with the first goal at home. They failed to win for four consecutive rounds, and they began to fall behind first.
Arsenal is now in glory. Although the competition for the top spot in the first half of this season was quite fierce, even for most of the first half, the defending champion Arsenal was also in a passive situation. However, the Gunners' strong winning streak and the victory of the key top spot allowed Arsenal to proudly regain the top spot. Now they have slowly established some advantages in the standings. They ended the 2011 game with a victory. This is really good news for Arsenal. The most important thing is that at this time, Arsenal also used their outstanding performance to occupy some advantages in the standings. Now they have taken the initiative to win the championship in their own hands.
In a blink of an eye, the Premier League schedule is nearly half. Judging from the situation in the standings, the wealthy "Blue Moon" has formed a strong impact on the traditional semi-finals and is temporarily ranked second. Their performance is indeed a big surprise. No one would have thought that Manchester City would explode so strongly this season. Just like no one expected that Manchester City, whose strength has improved significantly this season, and Manchester United, the regular match of the Champions League final, were both eliminated in the group stage, the Premier League this season has too many surprising things in the first half of the game.
Although Arsenal now has some advantages in the standings, they cannot be careless. They will definitely encounter many challenges in the second half of the game; because their opponents are strong and because Arsenal itself is not impeccable.
Both Manchester's two heroes claim to fight for the UEFA Champions League, but in fact they all know that this is just a joke. It is impossible to be distracted in the league because of the UEFA Champions League. It can be said that without the ties of the European Cup, the two heroes of Manchester City will definitely be unstoppable in the league. In the end, they can only see who can get more points in the strong dialogue to determine the ownership of the league championship. They can bring more difficulties and challenges to Arsenal at this time.
Manchester City was broken by Chelsea away and was defeated in the top game between home and Arsenal. However, they had the experience of slapping Manchester United and Tottenham away, which was already shocking enough. The home record was also outstanding in the Premier League. As long as there are no problems within the team, it is not difficult for Manchester City to win the Premier League championship.
There are not no precedents of champions built with gold and gold in the history of the Premier League. As early as when the steel kings Walker and Abram joined Blackburn and Chelsea, they both conquered the Premier League championship. With nearly 900 million pounds in the past four years, the "Blue Moon" has taken a big step forward almost every season since the summer when Abu Dhabi bought Manchester City. In this season, they have enough strength to continue to work hard to win the championship; they prove that it is not that the gold and gold policy does not work, but that the money they spent may not be enough. Their overall hard power is indeed above other Premier League giants. And what is even more terrifying is that if UEFA's fiscal fair competition policy is not as powerful as imagined, then Manchester City's room for strength improvement is not yet limit.
The Premier League is more than halfway through the 11-12 season. Although the final suspense has not been revealed, the trend has basically been determined. Whether it is a championship, a 4th, or a relegation, it is very clear. Judging from the current situation, Manchester's two players will strive for the defending league champion Arsenal, and Tottenham, Chelsea and Liverpool will be strong contenders for European qualifications such as the Champions League next season.
Although Arsenal is now at the top of the league, Arsenal cannot take it lightly; although the six-point lead is not small, it will definitely not stand the squander, especially based on the premise that Arsenal's own lineup has some shortcomings, it is also because Arsenal still needs to consider the Champions League field in the second half of the game. At least Arsenal, which is fighting on two fronts, has to pay more physical fitness at this time; in addition, its lineup depth is somewhat insufficient, Arsenal really may not have any advantages in the sprint stage in the second half.
At the beginning of the season, because Fabregas and Nasri both left the team, although Arteta largely filled the vacancy of Xiaofa and others' departure, his strength was still a little different from Xiaofa and others; Ramsey, Wilshire and others were too young and had injuries, which led to Wenger's embarrassment of no one available; the performance of the defense line was even more terrible, and Arsenal was barely accustomed to the central defender position, but after Sarnia was injured, Arsenal's wing defense was really riddled with holes.
For Wenger, it is really difficult to make a difference with the current lineup of the league and the Champions League. The first thing they need to ensure is that the main players cannot be injured anymore; of course, they also hope that players such as Al Shavin and Rosici can get back on their courage; although Walcott has grown rapidly, Arsenal, who plays on both sides, really needs to ensure that their lineup is trustworthy. Although they have a good record now, in the second half of the competition with more competitive strength, Arsenal also needs to make more efforts.
It is worthy of joy to win the half-time championship, but this performance is still far from enough. What Arsenal needs now is to do better. They must use better performance in the second half of the game to strive for successful defense in the league and the Champions League. Although Arsenal currently has serious personnel matching problems in the midfield and defense line, as long as Xiao Qing can guarantee strong firepower, it is not a luxury to complete the goal of successfully defending the title.
Manchester City's "golden dollar football" has risen strongly within the UK; Manchester United, led by the old and strong Sir Freud, has accumulated enough energy for the second half of the game; Boas, known as the "Madman II", will inevitably lead Chelsea to rebound strongly in the second half of the game.
Tottenham Hotspur’s record is also very good now. Although the core Modric has been involved in transfer rumors, the lineup is reasonable and talented. The North London team led by Lao Lei is also very competitive. The Reds Liverpool has made a qualitative leap under the leadership of Daglish. Having the most stable defense line in the Premier League is the best proof, and their competitiveness cannot be underestimated.
The competition in the Premier League is fierce now, and no team can guarantee that they can rest assured if they succeed in the first half. Especially in the fierce competition, they should be more cautious so that they can ensure that they can make efforts in the second half of the game.
Xiao Qing was basically satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, and Xiao Qing didn't feel that there were too many problems with his performance in the first half; Arsenal's lineup may have some problems, but the Gunners' strength is also very obvious. You only need to continue to maintain your own characteristics, and with some small reinforcements, Xiao Qing believes that the team will definitely achieve better results. Arsenal is still very competitive now, so they should become the biggest favorite to win the championship.
Although Arsenal encountered considerable difficulties and challenges in this season, although Xiao Qing did encounter some trouble now; however, Xiao Qing believes that these will not stop Arsenal from moving forward. Arsenal will burst out with stronger combat power at this time, and the Gunners will use better performances to win in the second half of the game. Arsenal has established some small advantages in the standings, but Xiao Qing also knows that such results are far from enough. Arsenal should perform better. They must use more crazy performances to strive for a long lead in the league in the second half of the game, and also ensure a strong breakthrough in the Champions League under the encirclement of many strong enemies.
