With Portugal's Braga beating Partizan 2-0 against the other two teams in the same group, Arsenal only need one more win to qualify, and there is no theoretical possibility of not qualifying. This made the professor very happy, and in the post-match press conference, Arsene Wenger changed his habit of not praising his players and praised his players greatly.

"We used our good performance to make it very easy. The goals were spectacular, and most of them came through a one-two and a dominance on the ball. It's not safe when you're 1-0 up, and when you're 5-1 up, people think it's too easy. It's hard to explain why we won 5-1, but tonight we had a great attitude and were at a good technical level. In the Champions League, you're playing against teams that regularly dominate the title in their own country, and they're not easy to play against. You won't run into teams that only know how to defend. When you're dominant, you always have a chance to score. ”

The professor also said about the goal conceded by Arsenal: "If we want anyone to score for Shakhtar Donetsk, it would be Eduardo, because everyone here has good memories of him. Everybody knows what a great player he is, what he's been up with here, and he's always had a positive attitude towards the game. We are all happy for him......"

Probably because of the historical record, the away defeat was huge, but Shakhtar Donetsk's head coach Lucescu was not convinced, "There is no excuse for such a result." We gave Arsenal three big gifts, two of which were stupid and a penalty. By the time the score became 3-0, the result was actually predestined.

We played very badly tonight. Arsenal have home advantage. They were very good on the pitch and organised as a team, but we made two big mistakes in the first half that directly affected the final result. Despite conceding five goals, I still don't think the gap between us and Arsenal is as outrageous as two notches. The most important thing for us now is to learn from this game and be ready for the next game in two weeks' time, when I want my team to be more courageous and confident and continue to maintain the record of a home win over Arsenal. ”

The Arsenal general did not take Lucescu's revenge words back to home, and now Arsenal has swept everything, what is a little miner, can the old historical record be mentioned again? The opponent they have to deal with now is Manchester City, the upstart of the Premier League, this upstart is disrespectful to Arsenal, when Arsenal and Shakhtar Donetsk played, they clamored to pull Arsenal down in the league, even Manchester United and Chelsea did not dare to say such things, Manchester City was so ignorant, Arsenal's players were furious, they wanted to start the game immediately, they wanted to humiliate this oil team waving checks everywhere.

Three days after the Champions League game is the game with Manchester City, but during this period, Li Huan secretly went back to Munich again, and her daughter Xiaomeng is now learning to speak. So during this time, I often secretly ran to Germany.

Wenger is not unaware of Li Huan's behavior, but he turns a blind eye and pretends not to see it, because Li Huan leaves at night and comes back the next day, which does not affect training, and Li Huan's weight in the team is getting heavier and heavier, and he is also deeply valued by the boss, and it is said that there is still some ambiguity with the boss's daughter, Wenger of course does not want to touch Li Huan's moldy head.

If last season's Manchester City is just a challenger who is not able to measure itself, this season's Manchester City seems to have become a powerful faction, after 8 rounds of the new season, Manchester City has 19 points, the last five games and five wins, 5 points behind the leader Arsenal, ranking third in the league, and the possibility of doing three views and two looks, this direct dialogue with Arsenal at home, they naturally hope to stop Arsenal, otherwise Arsenal will be gone.

Arsenal's dislike for Manchester City doesn't all stem from their aversion to the smell of copper, Manchester City's poaching of their former leading scorer Bam Adebayor is the root of Arsenal's hatred of Manchester City.

Last season, Adebayo ran 90 meters to provoke Arsenal fans after scoring a goal at the Emirates Stadium, and he was banned by the FA for three games after the game. The famous Arsenal rebel said: "We have to win, not only for Manchester City, but for the Premier League as a whole, and no one wants to see the Premier League title gone after 10 rounds, which is a disservice to the Premier League, which is so popular all over the world because the Premier League is so competitive. Of course, Arsenal fans certainly don't think so. ”

Adebayor suffered a loss once and still couldn't resist sarcastically mocking Arsenal fans.

The Arsenal players did not have a good impression of the unruly and money-hungry Adebayo, who spoke to him in a completely different way than he did to Eduardo.

Cesc Fabregas took over the conversation and said in his own column for The Sun, "Although Arsenal is now being bought by the chaebol, Arsenal's tradition has not changed, we are still cautious about transfers, like Manchester City, who invested 800 million in three years, I think they bought stars, but not Manchester City players, and these players cannot get the championship trophy alone." ”

As the captain of the team, Li Huan also came out before the game to boost the morale of the team, Li Huan called on his teammates and said: "Our opponents should not be underestimated, their desire to win is stronger than ours, they want to win the championship, we are the biggest stumbling block in front of them." At this point, we have to be tough, don't look at us four points ahead of second place, it's too insignificant, and if we lose, the consequences are even more unpredictable. If you want to defend your title, you have to win until you get the title. ”

Before the game, Arsenal and Manchester City did not verbally quarrel like last season, and it was useless for the media to fan the flames, so the major media turned the war of words into speculation about the starting and strength of the two sides. "The Sun" believes that since last season, Arsenal has been seeking change steadily, Wenger is no longer stubborn and insists on the strategy of introducing new stars, and Li Huan, Arshavin, Chamak, Squeraci and other internationally renowned new signings have joined, improving the team's playing style, enriching the experience of the competition, and quickly finding a position in the team and playing a role, with immediate results. Chelsea were able to resist and ended a three-game winless run against Manchester United. In terms of playing style, Arsenal has changed the past paranoid and unwavering infiltration play, and often uses medium and long-distance transmission, which is much simpler than in the past. This Arsenal team has a good chance of winning even if they play Manchester City away. The only variable is that Arsenal don't blush when they see Adebayo, and if they get impulsive, they will fall into the muscle trap of Manchester City.

The Times is also optimistic that Arsenal will remain unbeaten on the road, but the reporter believes that Manchester City's strength is constantly improving, Tevez is in good form, Adebayor just scored a hat-trick in the last game, and Inter prodigy Balotelli starts, this game is very variable.

Sun Hai, who has played for Manchester City for ten years, also talked about the game before the game, Sun Hai is emotionally inclined to Manchester City, but he is still optimistic about his friend Li Huan's team. Sun Hai said: "Manchester City is much stronger than when I was there, they now at least have the strength to play in the Champions League, but it is not enough to win the Premier League, from an outsider's point of view, this Arsenal team with Li Huan, Cesc Fabregas and Arshavin is almost invincible." Neither Manchester City, nor Manchester United, nor even Barcelona Real Madrid, could beat this Arsenal team. But if I had to guess who would win, I would still have to put it on Manchester City because I have a special affection for this team. ”

The game was played at 4 p.m., and the weather in London in October was cold and the sun didn't seem to be much warm, and the fans arrived early at the City Stadium, drinking drinks and snacks to wait for the start of the big game.

In this stadium, Chinese star Sun Hai has been fighting for 10 years, Manchester City fans naturally have a bit of a Chinese complex, and the Chinese in Manchester City fans are basically Li Huan's fans, so even in the stands of the home team, there are fans who play banners and small flags in support of Li Huan.

“…… This is the 175th time the two sides have met in history, with Arsenal holding the absolute upper hand with 92 wins, 35 draws and 43 defeats. Since the inception of the Premier League, the two sides have played 26 games, Manchester City 4 wins, 4 draws and 18 losses, including 4 wins, 1 draw and 9 losses at home, but with the great increase in Manchester City's strength, the two teams have met 7 times in the last two seasons, and Manchester City's 3 wins, 3 losses and 1 draw are basically draws.

In the Europa League in midweek, Arsenal veteran Adebayor scored a hat-trick, since the new season, Manchester City has been relying on Tevez to support the front, but now Adebayor has announced a strong return with a hat-trick, which is undoubtedly another sharp edge for Manchester City. Italian prodigy Balotelli, who is valued at £24 million, will also be in the squad for the first time, and Manchester City's attacking power will cause a lot of problems for Arsenal.

For Arsenal, injuries are still plentiful, with Koscielny suffering a back strain, Vermaelen also set to be sidelined until mid-November at the earliest, and Almunia is elbowed and the backline is unrecognizable. Wilshere will begin a three-game suspension, with Van Persie and Ramsey not returning until next month. However, Bendtner and Theo Walket will return to the starting line-up, and Sagna has also shaken off a thigh muscle injury, which has given Li Huan more flexibility......
