Chapter 292 Chapter 291: Wenger's strategy!
The night after finishing the Champions League, Arsenal boarded a plane to London. Three days later, the No.18 round of the Premier League will begin. They want to create a winning streak in the five major leagues.
A tight schedule is their worst enemy.
Back in London, Wenger gave the team a day off to rest.
Arsenal's opponent in this round is Hull City, which is not very strong, and they will return to the Emirates Stadium.
Everyone in Arsenal knew that this was the best opportunity to create an [-]-game winning streak, and they were unwilling to give up this rare opportunity.
On the [-]th, the [-]th round of the Premier League kicked off. Manchester United, which made its first appearance, was defeated by Fulham [-]-[-] in the away game. It was an upset!
Some people think that this is the reason why Manchester United have just finished the Champions League and their physical fitness has not yet fully recovered.
Subsequently, Liverpool lost to Portsmouth in an away game with a score of [-]-[-]!
Chelsea shook hands with West Ham United [-]-[-] away!
The three Premier League giants who have just finished the Champions League lost two and drew one, which is surprising. This also confirms the saying-there are no underdogs in the Premier League!
After the giants have participated in the Champions League, they will be strongly blocked.
Arsenal fans can't help but start to worry about their team, will they repeat the mistakes of the three giants?
Three days ago, the match between Arsenal and Olympiacos was exhausted. If it wasn't for Chen Fan's goal, they wouldn't even be able to get out!
Manchester City Life Guide said directly: "Arsenal's winning streak is over, they can't surpass Inter Milan!"
Arsenal fans could walk into the Emirates Stadium in a light hearted mood if they weren't clinging to a new record five-league winning streak, but...
Who can give up the winning streak in the five major leagues that is so close?
They came to the Emirates Stadium with worries, and they hoped that their shouts could awaken the ambitions of the players.
At six o'clock in the evening on the [-]th, the Emirates Stadium was crowded with people, and the Arsenal bus was slowly coming!
Reporters flocked to it.
Wenger, who was walking towards the bus, said to reporters: "Arsenal will not give up victory at any time!"
Chen Fan said to the reporter: "We will not repeat their mistakes, tonight's victory must belong to us!"
……
At [-]:[-], the two sides walked into the stadium, and they were greeted with cheers like a tsunami.
Various banners fluttered in the stands:
"Raise the banner of victory high, we will create eighteen consecutive victories!"
"Victory will belong to Arsenal!"
"Defend the glory of the home court!"
Hearing the tsunami-like cheers and seeing the inspiring banners, the Arsenal players seemed to have received a booster!
Chen Fan, who was arranged by Wenger to play as a striker tonight, let out a long breath and thought to himself: Don't let the fans down!
"Tick!..."
At 07:30, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, and Hull City, which took the lead in serving, launched an attack.
In the 5th minute, forward Richard Garcia shot a strong shot in front of the penalty area, and the football went wide!
Arsenal goal kick, Almunia kicked the football to Gallas, then Arsenal did not rush to attack and moved the football to the front field, and the midfielder began to pour the ball behind.
This is……
Hull City's midfielder didn't care why Arsenal did this, they rushed up.
Arsenal speed up the transfer of the ball, they are still not in a hurry to transfer the football to the frontcourt, they have to control the game according to their own rhythm.
In the 13th minute of the first half, Chen Fan received Eb's cross pass from the side, dodged the opponent's midfielder, and shot a long shot from outside the penalty area!
The football flew off the baseline against the crossbar!
This is Arsenal's first shot, which shows how slow their offensive rhythm is.
In the following time, Arsenal began to control the rhythm once they got the ball, which made some fans very dissatisfied: "Damn, can you hurry up?"
They hope that their team will break through the opponent's goal earlier, and then seal the victory and create a miracle of eighteen consecutive victories.
Thinking appeared in the eyes of the reporters on the sidelines, Wenger used this method to save the players' energy?
That's right, in the UEFA Champions League match three days ago, Arsenal's physical fitness declined in the second half, and they were always in a passive situation and were besieged by the opponent.
Wenger doesn't want his team to have that kind of situation again. His strategy for this game is: get through the first half steadily, and then make efforts in the second half.
Due to Arsenal's "reluctance to make progress", at the end of the first half, both sides failed to break through the opponent's goal.
After a 15-minute intermission, the two sides returned to the court, and Arsenal fans suddenly found that their team had accelerated their offensive rhythm!
The second half had just started, and Gallas, who basically had no assists in the first half, played a cross pass to Song from the wing, went straight for two and one, and suddenly made a 45-degree diagonal pass!
Van Persie jumped high, and a lion shook his head and attacked the goal!
The football was lifted out of the crossbar with difficulty by the opposing goalkeeper!
In the 3rd minute of the second half, Arsenal made a fuss in the middle, Fabregas crossed the penalty area diagonally, Van Persie half-turned and leaned on the opponent's central defender, suddenly kicked his right foot, and the football flew behind his left leg.
Then, he immediately turned around and kicked a small slash!
A red and white figure, like lightning, overtook the defensive player beside him, and shot a low shot!
Hull City goalkeeper Mihir stretched out his right foot instinctively, and he miraculously shot this foot close at hand, blocking the bottom line!
Chen Fan looked at the football that flew out of the baseline, and shook his head in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would have used a lob to complete the shot...
This was an extremely wonderful coordination. Arsenal penetrated like quicksilver. Chen Fan made the final blow, but unfortunately he failed to score.
In the stands, after the Arsenal fans regretted it, there was a huge applause. This is the real Arsenal!
Under the continuous blow from Arsenal, Hull City's defense finally made a major mistake in the No.12 minute of the second half!
Chen Fan was in the opponent's hinterland, and intercepted the cross pass of Hull City defender Sayedi halfway!
After turning around, Chen Fan did not hesitate, and directly passed a diagonal pass.Van Persie flew forward, controlled the football at his feet, and then shot low on the penalty area line!
The football flew past the right of Hull City goalkeeper Mihir and went into the net!
The ball is in!
One to zero!
Arsenal broke the deadlock on the field!
The Emirates Stadium, which had been silent for six or 10 minutes, finally erupted with deafening screams and cheers!
"Take advantage of the victory and pursue!"
Some fans even shouted loudly, they hope their team can seal the victory early.
However, in the next game, Arsenal slowed down again and returned to the way they played in the first half.
Did they think they could keep the one-goal lead until the end of the game?
No. 205 minutes in the second half, Song intercepted the ball in the backcourt, and Hull City thought he would cross the football to the side like before, so as to control the rhythm.
Who knew that he immediately made a long pass to the frontcourt!
Long pass and quick counterattack!
Like a cheetah, Chen Fan overtook the defensive players beside him in three steps, unloaded the football on the sideline, and then moved quickly along the sideline with the football as fast as lightning!
With the deepening of the Premier League, Chen Fan has become the most dazzling star in the Premier League this season.
At this moment, in order to defend him, two central defenders of Hull City rushed over, and they wanted to attack him!
