“The hand of football covers the sky (

After defeating Everton 2-0, Arsenal ushered in their ninth victory in the league this season. The ten-round record of the league is nine wins and one draw, unbeaten, and not conceded a goal.

Arsenal’s outstanding performance in the league allowed them to take the lead in the league, but in the cup, Arsenal was eventually defeated, three days after the match with Everton.

Arsenal ushered in their first defeat of the season, and they still lost to a team from the English Championship. She was Wednesday, a team that has been in the middle of the English Championship.

Li Shouquan’s dream of winning the championship is shattered, but this defeat is not a foreign matter to Li Shou, because this defeat once again proves Li Shou’s importance to Arsenal.

Although Arsenal is a pure bench lineup, but the opponent is only a mid-range team in the English Championship, so this defeat once again tells everyone that Arsenal without Li Shou is the fifth scum and the weakest among the major giants in the Premier League. team.

Although losing the game proved the importance of Li Shou to Arsenal, Li Shou was not happy. Li Shou wanted to hit the four crowns this season, but now this hope has been completely shattered.

However, for Arsenal, it is actually not without benefits. After the English League Cup is eliminated, Arsenal can focus on the league and the Champions League, not distracting others, and the players can also get some extra rest time.

Losing the game has already been lost, at this time how can not be changed, people have to look forward, football is the same, the depressed Arsenal can only vent their anger into the league.

Swansea, Arsenal’s opponent in the eleventh round of the league, Swansea performed well last season, and so far this season is not bad, but in terms of the Swansea team lineup and paper strength, he is the most It’s a mid-range team.

So the difference in strength between the two sides is not small, especially when Li Shou returned to the Arsenal starting lineup, Arsenal once again proved that there is a difference between Li Shou and Li Shou.

Swansea played like this, with Li Shou’s Arsenal playing extremely confident and calm, from the beginning of the game Arsenal firmly controlled the situation on the field.

Although Arsenal’s goal is still not scoring, there is no need to worry about the safety of his goal. Now Li Shou has won the trust of everyone in Arsenal, and he still has the kind of trust that will not doubt and will not waver.

In the first half, Arsenal’s nine-footed shot was firmly in control of the situation, but none of these nine-footed shots brought Arsenal a goal. In contrast, Swansea only had a three-legged shot.

Since the reaction that two of the shots did not even hit the door frame, the remaining shot was directly confiscated by Li Shou although it was within the range of the door frame.

“Lee is no longer just an ability to help Arsenal, his presence seems to be able to infect the spirit of the Arsenal players,” Andy Gray said when he looked at Arsenal, who was in the same league three days ago.

“When Lee is not on the field, Arsenal players need to think about defense. They need to always worry about whether they will be counterattacked and whether they will lose the ball. But once Lee comes on the field, Arsenal players don’t need to think about defense and losing the ball. Because they know that no matter what the situation is, Li can keep the goal.

Li Shou standing in front of the goal can give Arsenal players peace of mind and allow Arsenal players to focus on offense, so Arsenal have performed so well in the league and the Champions League.

Arsenal didn’t worry about breaking the deadlock in the first half, because the Arsenal players knew that no matter how bad they were, they would never lose, and they could even rely on Li Shou to win the game.

Attacking to create a counterattack opportunity, or using the opportunity of a free kick to score directly, Li Shou’s role for Arsenal is not limited to defense, but also has a huge deterrent on offense.

However, the goal of this game has little to do with Li Shou. Less than three minutes into the second half, it was Arsenal’s first attack in the second half.

Monreal inserted in the backcourt and successfully rushed to the bottom line with Griezmann’s cooperation to complete the cross. Giroud jumped high in the penalty area and slammed the header.

Although Fabianski made the first save, his save did not touch the ball. Giroud’s header slammed into the far corner. Fabianski reacted quickly, but it was still a little worse.

Explosive power. If Li Shou faced this header, he would definitely be able to pounce, but Fabianski could not. The difference lies in the explosive power of the two.

Arsenal, who scored the goal, played more and more calmly. In contrast, Swansea did not have the calmness of the first half. Swansea did not shoot many goals in the first half, but they were very good defensively, so Arsenal The goal was never scored in the first half.

But the loss in the second half completely disrupted the mentality of the Swansea players and forced them to change their tactics, because no one knows what it means to be behind Arsenal.

Forced helpless Swansea can only change tactics, and Arsenal focused on this very well. In the 61st minute, Arsenal intercepted the ball and completely counterattacked. In desperation, Swansea chose. foul.

This foul gave Arsenal an indirect free kick opportunity, Sanchez sent a big foot into the penalty area, Koscielny jumped high and watched Fernandez header.

Fabianski once again lost his weak explosive power. Fabianski reacted very quickly, but without the explosive power of Li Shou, it would not help anymore.

Koscielny, who returned from injury, performed a bit fiercely. This is already the second goal recently, and the two goals are almost the same way, both relying on the opportunity of a free kick to score a header.

Koscielny is actually not dominant in height among central defenders. Although he is only 186, although he is not short, he is not tall in terms of central defenders, but he can always get a header in front of players who are better than himself. , This is the skill of Koscielny.

This goal further hit Swansea’s morale. Five minutes later, Arsenal rewrote the score again. Griezmann, who was somewhat silent in the last two rounds, scored the third goal of the game for Arsenal.

Cazorla rushed into the hinterland of Swansea with the ball, Griezmann retreated slightly, and then the two hit the wall to cooperate, Cazorla rushed to the front of the penalty area with the ball, and Griezmann had already rushed into Swansea. restricted area.

Upon seeing this, Cazorla immediately sent the ball into the penalty area and sent it back to Griezmann. Faced with the defensive player in front of him, Griezmann was very calm.

The right foot pushes out, but this is just a fake action. It kicks back immediately when it is pushed out, and then deceives the defensive player to open his position and create space for him to kick off.

“3:0~~~ Arsenal won again, ushering in the tenth victory in the league this season.” Griezmann, who opened his position, decisively kicked the goal, the ball went straight to the dead corner, and the final score was fixed. 3:0.
