151 The Magpie Attacks

Sun Xiang scored five goals in two games. If he could keep this momentum, it would become the first player in history to change positions and achieve great success in the season. Now, the only thing that is before Sun Xiang is that it is as simple as continuing to score goals.

After being scored three goals, Wolfsburg had no intention of resisting. No matter how strong they were, they could not score four goals in the next ten minutes. The ranking of second place in the group was a foregone conclusion.

Therefore, the subsequent time also becomes garbage time.

In the 83rd minute, Wenger replaced Sun Xiang, and Ozil, who had been out of the battle for a long time, came on as a substitute.

The Germans had some injuries in the World Cup, and the transfer problems at the beginning of the season, so they were unable to play for the team. Before this game, 272's injury was basically cured, and the team doctor also allowed him to play. However, for future considerations, Wenger still put him on the bench and is finally able to play.

The score of 3:0 was maintained until the end. Before the end, both sides actually had a good chance. Ozil's set-piece was bravely resolved by Castels. Heinz's long-range shot hit Mustafi and bounced on the crossbar of the goal. This was also the third time the home team was rejected by the goal. No wonder Martin Taylor laughed at them and they needed to change the goal.

Sun Xiang was named the best player in the game after the game, which is well deserved.

"I like this city, this stadium, and the fans here. It feels great to be back and play!"

In the mixed interview area, Sun Xiang accepted an interview with reporters.

"To be honest, I was very scared when I came here before the game today, for fear that I would go to the wrong locker room, but luckily Bellerin stopped me in time."

When talking about his feelings about scoring three goals in this game, Sun Xiang hesitated for a moment.

"I'm sorry, I scored three goals for my old club. But this is the professional league, I believe they will understand, and we are still good friends off the court."

Finally, when a reporter asked whether they would have a drink after the game, Sun Xiang smiled and replied: "Of course, we have already agreed that the winning party will treat you. If you don't have to catch a plane, you will have to be afraid of them tonight."

On November 29, 2018, the 13th round of the Premier League was launched in full swing. Arsenal challenged West Brom away, and Ozil ushered in the first league start of the season.

In the end, Sun Xiang assisted Ozil in front of the goal and scored the only goal in the game. While defeating Swansea, he also ushered in two consecutive victories, with only 2 points behind the previous Chelsea.

Four days later at home, Sun Xiang's follow-up shot in front of the goal helped the team defeat the "Saints" Southampton with one goal.

The team did not rest much afterwards and immediately went away to compete with Stoke City in the 15th round.

This game can be said to be extremely difficult. In the continuous battle, coupled with the exhaustion of driving and driving, Arsenal, who was in a sluggish state, allowed his opponent to score three goals in a row in the first half, and the scene in the second half improved. Sun Xiang, Giroud and Caszorla scored goals one after another, forcing the score to tie the score 3:3. However, after that, neither side had a chance, and the referee also blew the ending whistle when stoppage time came.

After this round, Arsenal fans sighed.

Because their arch rival, Chelsea, lost to Newcastle on the road. This is an excellent opportunity to win first place.

At the same time, Manchester City's points are also on par with Arsenal, with only one point gap in the top three in the standings.

Three days later, the last round of the Champions League group stage began, and the situation of qualifying in the D group was clear. Arsenal and Wolfsburg ranked first and second, followed by Anderlecht, who won the life-and-death battle in the fifth round, while Turkish Super League champion Galatasaray could only say goodbye regretfully.

However, Group A, who is in the same division as Group D, is not so easy. The last round is a direct dialogue between two giants. As long as one side wins the game, if one of Juventus and Atletico Madrid wins the game, the losing team will meet with Arsenal in the quarterfinals.

In the end, the two teams fought fiercely for 90 minutes and were evenly matched. So according to the previous ranking, "old woman" Juventus advanced to the second place in the group.

In contrast, in the D group, Arsenal, who had no burden, kept all the main players in London to adjust in this game, and sent many young players, and several of them were young players who had just been promoted by the youth team.

Galatasaray, who is also ready to return home, is also unwilling to fight, and Arsenal won 4:1 away.

Back in the league, their opponent in the 16th round was Newcastle, who defeated Chelsea in the last round.

The day before, Chelsea and Manchester City both won, but they only won small wins but scored points, which also made Arsenal feel a sense of urgency.

"Boys, our goal is to hit the league championship, we haven't gotten it in too long!" Wenger made his final conversation in the locker room before the game.

Arsenal's last league championship trophy was in the distant 2004. That year, they played well in Europe and won the league championship together.

However, in the later season, they had no gains except for the four FA Cup trophys. Wenger, who could match Ferguson, was already a little overwhelmed.

This year may be his last year of teaching. He spent a lot of money to buy Sun Xiang and build him into the most important puzzle for the team, not only for himself, but also for the team's future.

"The competition is about to begin, and I can't wait!"

"Calm down, Martin, you are not the only one who is excited here." Alan Smith looked at the energetic fans in the stands. Even though it was already winter, there were still many people wearing short-sleeved shirts showing their enthusiasm there.

This is a microcosm of the hot Premier League market. They have the best fans in the world, the most trapped facilities, and the most advanced on-site medical technology. Of course, the most exciting and fierce confrontation is indispensable, and this is also the reason why their broadcasting fees are so expensive.

As the camera turned and swept through the player channel, the players on both sides were already standing in the channel and preparing to enter the field.

Arsenal arranged a 4-2-2-2 formation in this game, pulling Bellerin back to the full-back position, and then the two back midfielders were Zaka and Casorla, the two offensive front courts were Wilsher and Ozil, and the two forwards were Sun Xiang and Giroud.

In terms of position, Sun Xiang's position is still higher, using Giroud's cover to attack, the Frenchman's position is relatively backward, connecting with the midfield.
