The focus of the eighth round of the Premier League is the same city derby between Everton and Liverpool, although Liverpool has now fallen, qUAnBEn, Arsenal and Birmingham This game is not the focus, but it is also a game that attracts fans in the eighth round, in addition to the Chinese derby, this is also the 800th game of the professor, as one of the most successful coaches in the Premier League for the longest time, the 800 games of the professor are an event that the media and fans are very concerned about.
Tickets for the Arsenal-Birmingham match were sold a week ago, and according to media reports, there were more than 3,000 fans from China and Hong Kong alone, not including local students and workers in the UK, including supporters of Li Huan, Yang Ka-shing and Birmingham.
Due to the fact that the match between Arsenal and Birmingham was tinged with a certain Chinese element, the game was broadcast live on major sports channels and online channels in China. Half an hour before the start of the game, the commentator of the imperial court station described the background of the game and some tidbits before the game in high spirits.
"Arsenal only has one Chinese player, Birmingham does not have a Chinese player, but the whole world knows that these two teams have a strong Chinese element, and the Chinese play a decisive role in it. Without Li Huan, Arsenal may still be in the dark age of 5 years without a championship, without Yang Jiacheng, Birmingham must fight for food and clothing every season, and it is Chinese to change the fate of these two teams......"
Duan Xuan, the host of the imperial court station, suddenly amplified the long-suppressed mood of the Heavenly Empire at this time, and began to vigorously boast about the roles of Li Huan and Yang Jiacheng in these two teams. Although the role of Li Huan and Yang Jiacheng is obvious, Duan Xuan's unscrupulous praise still makes fans feel numb for a while.
Tao Wei coughed twice and said: "There were rumors before the game that Li Huan was going to buy Birmingham, I don't know if this is true, but I think with Li Huan's assets, it is more than enough to buy a giant like Liverpool, so as not to compete with his compatriots for the ownership of Birmingham......"
Duan Xuan said: "If Li Huan can lead Arsenal to defend the Champions League and league titles this year, he will actually not be too challenging at Arsenal, it is better to buy a medium-sized club to establish his own Li dynasty......
Tao smiled and said: "Li Huan, judging from his personality and actions, is not a person who likes to worry too much, maybe after he passes his peak, he still wants to continue to play, and will buy a club to play, and now he still wants to climb to the peak of player achievement at Arsenal, from what he said about the goal of this season, to win all the championships, no team dared to say such a thing before the game."
Duan Xuandao: "Now no one thinks Arsenal is bragging, they have won all the previous games, Chelsea, Liverpool and other giants have been bloodbathed, who can stop them?" Manchester United? Barcelona? Or Real Madrid? ”
There were fierce cheers from the stands at the stadium.
“…… Players from both sides have played, now let's turn our attention to this game, which is the eighth round after Arsenal won seven in a row and have won all competitions, their game against Birmingham City was the professor's 800th game and the 130th meeting in the history of the two sides, now we take a look at their starting line-up......
Arsenal's formation is 4231: Fabianski/Eboue, Squeerage, Li Huan, Clichry/Song, Diaby/Nasri, Wilshere, Arshavin/Chamak
Birmingham (451): Foster/Carr, Dane, Roger? Johnson, Ridgewell/Larsson, Fakhyi, Hleb, Bowyer, Ferguson/Zykic
Li Huan appeared at centre-back, while Eboue went to play at right-back, a new change for Arsenal this season...... The rest of the starters were basically the same as in the previous game......
Birmingham set up a 451 formation, ready to play defensive counter-attack, at the Emirates Stadium, no team has dared to play against Arsenal......"
With the referee's whistle, the game began.
Playing at home, Arsenal were in the right place at the right time and launched an onslaught at Birmingham City from the opening kick-off, almost scoring a goal just after the break.
Arsenal's nerve knife Diaby and teenager Wilshere kicked the wall in a row two over one, Diaby all the way from the back position jaw-dropping to the Birmingham penalty area, but this guy's left foot will not shoot, he adjusted to the right foot to push the shot, Birmingham goalkeeper Foster has reacted, he directly pressed Diaby's shot under him.
Two minutes later, Li Huan drove straight into the middle with the ball, and after reaching the midfield, he distributed the ball to Diaby, who shot directly from a distance, but the ball was blocked by the defender.
Arsenal's onslaught overwhelmed Birmingham and it wasn't until ten minutes later that Birmingham had their first shot of the game from a corner.
Cesc Fabregas did not play, but Nasri's organization and scheduling in the middle are also very good, the young Wilshere is becoming more and more mature, Diaby's nerve knife has reached the ** period again, the three people control the middle very hard, the two wings Arshavin and Eboue are also very active, Birmingham only passively beaten, without a little power to fight back.
Yang Jiacheng, who was sitting in the VIP box, saw that there was nothing unusual in this scene, in fact, he was already mentally prepared for this kind of scene, imagine that even Chelsea and Liverpool were beaten all over the ground to find teeth, what is Birmingham worth, and it is completely proud to get a point here to walk out of the Emirates Stadium, but Yang Jiacheng is not sure about it.
Birmingham's bucket formation lasted only 20 minutes, and Arshavin's inward cut from the side to the middle won Arsenal a free kick more than 20 meters on the right side of the penalty area, although this free kick was not directly facing the goal, but it was not far from the goal, and it was also within Li Huan's range.
Nearly 60,000 gun fans in the stands of "Xiao Li Flying Knife" suddenly let out a tsunami-like shout, and experience told them that this free kick would turn into a goal.
Li Huan did not disappoint the Gunners fans at the scene, his brilliant banana ball flew directly into the corner between the crossbar and the goalpost, and the Birmingham goalkeeper's quick attack did not intercept the ball.
1:0.
Arsenal took the lead.
Birmingham, who are behind by one goal, still did not attack, they are obviously mentally prepared for the situation of falling behind, they do not want to be easily counterattacked by Arsenal because of a big attack, they have witnessed the tragedy of the first 7 rounds and last season, and they have been counterattacked by Arsenal, and the end is very tragic.
Birmingham do not attack, but Arsenal has no intention of stopping, they continue to attack Birmingham, Birmingham penalty area front of the defenders, whether it is a cross or penetration is difficult to penetrate, Arsenal on the front of the penalty area frequently forced breakthroughs, hoping to cause the opponent's defensive foul again, the use of free kicks to expand the score, as long as the score can be expanded to two goals, they can wait for Birmingham to come out of the hole.
However, after the referee awarded the first free kick, the free kick at the edge of the penalty area became conservative, and even a little stingy, Birmingham had several obvious fouls were missed by the referee, which made the Birmingham players see the referee's intention to find a balance, the foul action at the edge of the penalty area was greater, Arsenal's attack became more and more fluid, and the number of shots on goal gradually decreased, and Birmingham used their two meters and two tall high school striker Zhikicic gradually played some counterattacks.
Seeing that the situation of the game was gradually changing in favor of Birmingham, Li Huan stood up again.
Due to Birmingham's retrenchment, Li Huan, who plays as a central defender, almost mentioned near the center circle, leaving only one skiraci defender behind.
In the 35th minute of the game, Arshavin crossed from the side, the ball was pushed out by the Birmingham player, Li Huan quickly stepped forward from the middle circle, and volleyed vigorously when the ball was about to land, the ball flew sharply from a distance of 40 meters away, and roared straight to the dead corner of the goal. Birmingham's goalkeeper noticed Li Huan's long-range shot when Li Huan was running, but Li Huan's shot angle was too awkward, and it hit the crossbar and bounced into the net, goalkeeper Foster had no way at all.
2:0. Li Huan scored twice to extend the score for Arsenal.
The fans at the scene were stunned by Li Huan's earth-shattering shot, and they didn't even have time to applaud at the first time, until Li Huan ran to the sidelines to celebrate, and the fans at the scene gave out a tidal wave of applause.
“…… The great long-range shot Li Huan once again laid the victory for Arsenal with his almost precision-guided weapon-like shot, Birmingham became Arsenal's 11th victim under the knife, and the eight-game winning streak was not far from Arsenal, and the terrifying gunners, they finally showed their fangs......"
The psychological impact of 2-0 and 1-0 on both sides is completely different, and when it is 1-0, Arsenal cannot be at ease, because there are too many fortuitous factors in football, and Birmingham can also wait for Arsenal to make mistakes, or wait until the last moment to launch a counterattack, so that Arsenal does not have time to fight back again. But 2-0 almost wiped out the chance factor in the game, and Birmingham's failure to attack was tantamount to suicide.
Birmingham head coach McRush, who had been sitting in the dugout all along, couldn't sit still, he walked to the sidelines, gritted his teeth and gave his players an attacking signal. He didn't want to take the risk, but now he had to make that decision.
Birmingham's attack gave the blistering Arshavin and the assist-capable Eboue, while Li Huan's missile-like and imaginative long balls at the back played a huge role at this time.
The first half just entered the 40th minute, Li Huan used a long pass accurate to the millimeter to find Arshavin who was running, the Russian tsar did not need to pause, the chest collared, and the ball swept past the opponent's right-back Karl, in the face of the central defender's supplement and the goalkeeper's attack, Arshavin's powerful volley helped Arsenal go to the next city.
At 3:1, Arsenal continued their goalscoring performance. In the last minutes of the first half, Birmingham launched a comeback like a comeback, and their luck was good, Fahmy crossed from the left to the front of the small penalty area, and the two-meter-tall Nikic beat Squeerrac's header, and the ball bounced into the bottom left corner of the goal, 3-1, Birmingham pulled a goal back.
At half-time, Birmingham tasted the sweetness of the goal, and continued to attack after the start of the second half, but Birmingham scored in the last minute of the first half, Arsenal were holding back the fire, and Arsenal vented their anger at the beginning of the second half, and they caught Birmingham off guard with their crazy pressing and stormy attacks.
Less than three minutes into the second half, Wilshere and Nasri in front of the penalty area in the middle of the two-one-one, Wilshere broke through the ball, Chamak turned in the penalty area to pass the defender and brush the goalkeeper Foster, and pushed the empty goal.
At 4-1, Arsenal led by three goals.
Chamak had just scored a goal that was a pure leak, and after the goal he felt like a dream, and he couldn't believe it was true, until his team-mate pounced on him, and he ran to the corner flag area as fast as he could, pulled down the corner flag and yelled at the fans.
Chamak's goal was a great blow to Birmingham's fighting spirit, in the later games, Birmingham could not attack, and was beaten passively everywhere, Birmingham's manager McRush shook his head on the sidelines, but there was nothing he could do, he had lost control of the game. Yang Jiacheng, who was in the VIP box, saw this scene with a gloomy face, and turned to leave after Arsenal scored the fifth goal.
Arsenal are a young team who have never liked to show mercy to their men, and in the end they defeated Birmingham City 6-1 again to give the professor a big gift for his 800th game.
In the post-match press conference, Birmingham head coach McRush was convinced, saying that Arsenal are a team from an alien planet, and he has no doubts about Arsenal's defending league title, and he even thinks that it is not impossible for Arsenal to win all the titles. McRush also praised Li Huan as a gift from God to Arsenal, without which Arsenal would never have gone so smoothly. He also believes that although Li Huan did not participate in the World Cup in South Africa, he should still be elected as this year's World Footballer of the Year, because no one is better and more stable than him.
Not only outsiders are full of praise for Li Huan, but Arsenal's manager Arsene Wenger did not shy away from suspicion, he first thanked the players for helping him win the 800th game in charge, pointing out that it is still far from the championship, and they must continue to win, and then the professor agreed with McLarush's words, he believes that Li Huan has a chance to defend the World Footballer of the Year, the professor believes that a player cannot be measured by the success of the World Cup in this month, from an annual point of view, Li Huan is well-deserved the best in the world.
