(The third shift, ask for a monthly pass)

Three days after Li Huan's injury is the fourth round of the FA Cup, Arsenal away to challenge Stoke City, Stoke City, as a small club, can rely on the success of relegation last season is the excellent home results of this 'killer', .qUANbEn. League so far it has only lost at home to Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal three giants.

Although Arsenal can defeat Stoke City with the strength of Arsenal, but because they will play against Aston Villa, Manchester United, and Chelsea in the next 11 days, and they will play against Liverpool again a week later, every game is a vicious battle, after Li Huan's injury, Wenger had to strategically give up the FA Cup and send a substitute-based squad to participate in the game. The FA Cup is not a League Cup, it is the oldest competition in the United Kingdom, second only to the league in the United Kingdom, but Arsenal are now reluctant to part with it.

In the end, in this FA Cup match, Arsenal lost 1:3 to the weak Stoke City, and it stopped as early as the League Cup. With an 11-point lead in the league, it is not a bad thing to abandon titles such as the FA Cup and League Cup and go all out to play the league and the Champions League, after all, Arsenal's bench strength is too weak. However, some media believe that Arsenal has not had a championship for five years now, and it is not necessarily a good thing to give up these championship-winning competitions early, in case the league and the Champions League are not obtained, it will be another season with all four empty. For Arsenal, which spent 100 million yuan to invite Li Huan, this pressure is too great.

The real test of Arsenal is the league, three days later, Arsenal went to Villa Park to challenge Aston Villa, at this moment Aston Villa has been and Manchester City, Tottenham, Liverpool for the Champions League seat to fight for the white heat, in their own home stadium they are like red eyes with crazy pressing to resist Arsenal's middle penetration, Arsenal lost Li Huan, not only lost the threat of the side, but also let the opponent from the intimidation of Xiao Li Feidao, Fabregas, Rosicky, Nasri, Theo Walcott's elite struggled but couldn't penetrate Aston Villa's defence, and the two sides ended up in a 0-0 draw at Villa Park, Arsenal's first draw of the season and the first goalless game. Arsenal's 22-game winning streak also came to an abrupt end.

Chelsea finally saw Arsenal drop points when they beat Birmingham City 3-0 at home to cut the gap to nine points.

Manchester United postponed the 23rd round of the league due to the Carabao Cup, and the gap between them and Arsenal is still 11 points, but Manchester United's opponent is Hull City, and these three points are almost equivalent to the same insurance in the bank. In the semi-finals of the English League Cup held at the same time as the 23rd round of the league, Manchester United at Old Trafford defeated Manchester City 3-1 with Rooney's stoppage time stunner, eliminated the city's rival Manchester City 4-3 on aggregate, and entered the League Cup final for the eighth time, and on February 18, Manchester United will play the League Cup final with Aston Villa at Wembley Stadium.

After the 23rd round, although there was only one game, the British media believed that Arsenal was more or less suffering from Li Huan's dependence, because without Li Huan, Arsenal, which averaged 3.3 goals per game, was unexpectedly clean sheet by Aston Villa, which is simply an irony for Arsenal, which is good at attacking. The media believe that Arsenal must learn to win without the protection of Xiao Li's flying knife, otherwise the next few rounds of the league will become very dangerous.

However, Arsenal did not have much time to settle for the game without Li Huan, and three days later, they were at home to the Red Devils and Manchester United.

Arsenal and Manchester United's Premier League highlight at the Emirates Stadium was played on January 31, at this time Li Huan had come out of the Queen Victoria Hospital, and was treated in the team with team doctor Levine, Levine's medical skills are recognized in the Premier League circle, and it was his timely rescue that prevented Eduardo from retiring because of a broken leg. Li Huan's injuries were not particularly serious, so he came out after only a week in Queen Victoria Hospital.

The game was played at four o'clock in the afternoon, half an hour before the game, Li Huan walked into the Arsenal locker room with a cane, and when he saw Li Huan arrive, there was a round of applause in the locker room, Walcott looked at Li Huan's crutches regretfully, and said: "When will you be able to throw away this thing, today we are fighting with that devil, but you can only watch." ”

Li Huan's expression was very relaxed, and he said, "Come on, Theo, two weeks." ”

Nasri has now returned to the team, saying: "Didn't Dr. Levine say three weeks? ”

Li Huan patted his leg and said, "With my physical fitness, how can it take so long." If you can take out Manchester United, my injury will heal a little bit faster. ”

Wenger's expression was heavy, he didn't show a smile when Li Huan was joking, when there was Li Huan, no matter which team he was facing, he didn't seem to have a bottomless time, only when he lost the young man who looked cynical, he understood the importance of Li Huan to the team, Dinghai Shenpin, spiritual leader, these words are not an exaggeration to describe Li Huan, they can only be said to be appropriate.

Li Huan turned his face and said to Wenger easily: "Don't worry, professor, they can subdue that demon." ”

Fabregas felt the weight of the burden on his body this time, he couldn't do Li Huan's weightlifting, talking and laughing freely, and said very seriously: "Coach, we will play Manchester United like a final." ”

The other players in the dressing room also clenched their fists and shouted: "Don't worry, Professor, I will promise to play Manchester United like a final." ”

Li Huan smiled slightly and said to Cesc Fabregas: "Sesk, you shouted the wrong slogan, you should kill Manchester United like last time." ”

The atmosphere in the dressing room relaxed suddenly, "Yes, kill Manchester United, what is playing Manchester United like a final, they are our losers." ”

Fabregas had been feeling that Li Huan was in the team some time ago, and his heart was panicked, and now he suddenly felt that there was no Li Huan, and he couldn't even sleep well before the game, of course, there was no JQ between him and Li Huan, but he was worried about the outcome of the game and it was difficult to sleep. At this moment, he couldn't help but hug Li Huan's shoulders and said, "Li Huan, everyone needs you, come back early." ”

Li Huan smiled, thumped Fabregas's chest, and said, "Haven't I come back already?" I'm always with you guys, I'm your 12th person. ”

Seeing the injured Li Huanyan smile and not take his injury to heart, the Arsenal players are also full of courage, Wenger feels that they are much more confident and relaxed when they walk out of the dressing room than when they play against Aston Villa.

Li Huan came out of the locker room and walked into the ordinary stands, the Arsenal fans in the stands were in high spirits, the applause thundered, countless cameras and mobile phones were shooting at Li Huan, they finally saw their idol come out of the ward, this is a good phenomenon, since they have been able to come out, is it still far from playing?

Once the game started, United played proactively, completely anti-opponent, and Ferguson knew that this was the best time for United to catch up with the score, and they must not give up this great opportunity, with victory being their only goal.

In this game, Manchester United did not forget to stabilize the defensive line when attacking actively, Scholes, Nani, Fletcher three people composed of midfield, plus Park Ji-sung and Rooney, who actively returned to defend like a defender, Arsenal could not penetrate Manchester United's defense at all, and Manchester United's seemingly simple impact tactics made Arsenal's defense tired because of a miniature tank like Rooney.

Without Li Huan, Klich and Salihi's wing attacks have quantity and quality, and they can't threaten Manchester United's goal at all, and even the on-site commentators lamented that Sagna and Klich's cross was a light year away from Li Huan.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Nani knocked the ball with his right heel to break through Klich and Nasri, and after a successful pass, Nani cut inside to get rid of Denilson's block and shoot from a small angle, Almunia jumped up with one hand and accidentally "saved" the ball into his own net. Nani put together an extraordinary solo performance to turn the score to 1:0.

However, the current Arsenal is not as psychologically fragile as in previous seasons, and they are not panicked after conceding goals, they still calm down and stabilize the formation first, try to ensure that they do not concede goals again, and then attack slowly.

Manchester United thought that a goal would disrupt Arsenal's defense and military morale, and the following was taken away, but did not expect that in the last moment of the first half, it was counterattacked by Arsenal, Nasri passed the ball on the left, Evans' header was not good, Vermaelen was inserted into the front of the penalty area to sweep, Evans subconsciously stretched out his leg to block the line of the ball into the net, and Arsenal equalized the score.

At half-time, Li Huan, Van Persie and Bendtner all came to the dressing room, and they actively cheered up their teammates, telling them that all Arsenal fans were by their side, they were not 11 people fighting, it was the whole Arsenal fighting against Manchester United.

Inspired Arsenal played exceptionally tenaciously in the second half, and amid the enthusiastic cheers of the Arsenal fans, they still ensured the goal when Manchester United switched to a four-striker attack, and finally Cesc Fabregas's cold shot almost penetrated the door of Manchester United. In the end, the two sides ended in a draw at the Emirates Stadium, thwarting Manchester United's desire to chase the points.

Sir Alex Ferguson, who was a little frustrated after the game, had to admit that the current Arsenal was very different from the original baby army, tenacious and tenacious, and this Arsenal team fully deserved the honor of the championship.

However, Cesc Fabregas said in the post-match interview that they were able to block Manchester United's attack because Li Huan, Van Persie, Bendtner and other teammates stood in the stands to cheer them on, and they and the fans were the team's best 12 people.
