Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 127 The Possibility of Winning the Championship?
(Thank you, brothers, there is nothing to repay, only the update that has been up all night, how much can be more, not to mention, continue to make up tomorrow) After Arsenal defeated Aston Villa, except for a few games less because of European competitions, the other teams just ended halfway, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal Group 1; Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester City and Villa make up the second phalanx; QUanbeN。
At present, except for the vice-squad leader Portsmouth, who have relatively low points, the points gap between Hull City from 19th place is only 5 points.
The traditional big four Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool have not had the same advantage as they used to be thanks to Tottenham, Manchester City and Villa's rapid rise this season.
The British media has always liked to go back in time, according to English history, the champion team generally cannot lose more than five games in a season.
And now the only champion who can qualify is Arsenal, who have won all.
While Arsenal don't have as much depth on the bench as the other two giants, and with the Champions League knockout rounds and FA Cup set off in the second half, the English media still believe Chelsea and Manchester United have a chance, but unless anything else happens, this year's Champions League will be the Gunners who have not won a title for five years.
Compared with Arsenal's meteoric rise, Liverpool's depravity is also jaw-dropping, at the beginning of the season, many people still regarded Liverpool as the favorite in the league and the Champions League, but after the half-time, people realized that Liverpool was empty except for the FA Cup, which did not start.
They are only 7th in the league standings, 18 points behind Arsenal.
In the Champions League, the group stage went home early.
The Carabao Cup has also become a spectator, and with Tottenham, Manchester City and Villa on the rise this season, it is difficult to say whether the Reds will qualify for next season's Champions League.
Before the start of the season, many media predicted that this year's Arsenal results would definitely be better than in previous years, Li Huan showed how great his contribution to the team was when he was in Hoffenheim, but everyone still didn't expect that Arsenal with the label of Li would be so strong, winning all 18 league games, and locking the first place in the Champions League group stage two rounds in advance, many media think, Had it not been for Arsene Wenger's strategic foregone League Cup and Champions League final two games, Arsenal would have won all of them.
UEFA has called Arsenal the king of the halfway in all of Europe, the strongest halfway champion in history, and UEFA says that if Chelsea and Manchester United are unable to hold Arsenal during the Christmas campaign, Arsenal is likely to win the title more than five rounds earlier this season.
And if Chelsea and Manchester United hold Arsenal back, the competition will be fierce in the end, and Chelsea's record of 95 points in the 45th season could well be rewritten.
In the "Daily Mail" selection of the best team of the half, Arsenal has a total of four selected, right-back Li Huan, central defender Vermaelen, forward Cesc Fabregas, and manager Arsene Wenger.
Among them, Li Huan was unanimously elected as the best right-back in the UK.
There was even a bit of controversy when selecting the best team, many fans thought that Li Huan should actually compete for the best striker, scoring 25 goals in the half, even the strongest striker Shearer did not reach this terrible number that year, even if the number of goals scored by Li Huan in the second half was halved, as long as he was not injured, Li Huan would definitely break the record of 34 goals in a single season held by Shearer.
Vermaelen's selection is also because of his goalscoring ability, after the successful completion of the goalscoring task, Vermaelen also scored 7 goals, which is a statistic that the average striker can't get, Cesc Fabregas has been plagued by injuries one after another, but his organization in the midfield has strongly supported the wings, which is an indispensable part of the core of Fabregas Lee.
The election of Professor Arsene Wenger is a bit controversial, compared with the top four coaches under his command, the local veteran coach Hodgson successfully coped with the pressure of two-front operations with a thin lineup, and successfully broke through the Europa League group; Solid league results have led to the belief that Fulham, who finished seventh in the league last season, was no short of the pan.
Today, Craven Farm has become a sinister place for big clubs, and Hodgson is touted as Capello's successor when his contract expires.
He is also a strong candidate for the half of the race.
But in the end, Arsenal's youth storm overwhelmed everything, with 18 consecutive wins in Europe and nearly four goals per game that made all fans jaw-dropping.
Compared with the previous best team of whites and blacks, there are two more yellow people in the half of this season, in addition to Li Huan, the best chairman of Hong Kong's wealthy businessman Yang Ka-shing gets, when Hong Kong people complete the acquisition of Birmingham, no one would have thought that Birmingham, which was still struggling for relegation, would rise to the top, and even once ranked in the top six, with an unbeaten record of 7 wins and 4 draws in 11 consecutive games, which made the giants embarrassed, of course, if Kroenke replaced Hillwood as the chairman of Arsenal, This best chairman will probably not be Yang Jiacheng's turn.
The halfway best is not a great honor, but for the young people of Arsenal, it is also a major incentive, sweeping all the teams in the halfway, which makes the young Gunners high-spirited, some time ago the players, fans, and clubs mentioned that they were a little ashamed to replicate the unbeaten record of the 34 seasons to win the championship, and now the undefeated championship has fallen behind, and now the fans' goal for the Gunners is to win the championship with a winning record, although the players and clubs have repeatedly stated that it is impossible to win the championship with a full winning record, but the media still thinks, The theory is impossible, but in fact, the victory may exist, because many players of the Gunners will come back in the second half, as long as there are no major injuries, the main thing is that Li Huan has no injuries, and with a little luck assistance, it is not a myth to win the championship with a full victory.
Professor Arsene Wenger's only concern at the moment is the attrition of injuries, Cesc Fabregas is not well, Rosicky is an old injury, Bendtner is training with the ball, and Nasri has been suspended for three games by the FA.
As long as they can survive these weeks, Arsenal can only get better and better.
It turned out that Arsenal also planned to buy Arshavin from Hoffenheim, but now after the start of the winter transfer, Wenger changed his plan, he wanted to introduce Arshavin just to help Li Huan, but now it is not necessary, Arsenal has been sharpened, and Arshavin can only affect the unity of the team.
Another reason why Wenger didn't want to buy Arshavin was the amazing performance of the teenager Wilshere in the 19th round, after scoring a goal, Wilshere seemed to have grown up, passing the ball and shooting with a clear eye, very big general's demeanor, the British media who are used to touting British players immediately compared Wilshere to Britain's Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal's Xavi.
Wenger is not a coach who is used to making mistakes, he knows how exaggerated what the media says, but he has to admit that the teenager Wilshere has the potential for further growth, buying Arshavin, Rosicky is injured, Wilshere will not have a stage to perform, and Professor Wenger, who has always been a bit too controlling, finally stopped Arshavin's transfer plan.
Although Wenger and Arsenal Club halted Arshavin's transfer plan for their own interests, but from the Champions League group stage, the league has also suffered a major blow, and Hoffenheim, who is only in third place, has reduced his hatred of Arsenal by three points.
Half-way summary, half-way best selection, these are all things that the media want to do, the British team is not in the mood at all, the tense Christmas schedule is in full swing, playing one game in three days, so that every team can not relax.
Arsenal swept Portsmouth by 4 goals away in the first leg.
Pompeii started the season on a seven-game losing streak and rebounded after a change of manager, notably with a home win over Reds Liverpool.
However, with the team's successive defeats to West Ham in the Christmas period, they continue to hold the position of vice-president of the league.
Historically, the 'curse' of relegation at the end of the league table in the last week of December has been met with only West Brom having managed to break the curse, with no other team spared.
More realistic than this is the club's financial crisis, the Pompeii army can't even afford the salary, and how much combat effectiveness such an army can be imagined.
Arsenal, which has won 18 consecutive games, hosts such a Portsmouth, and many people put three points in Arsenal's pockets before the game, but Professor Wenger also hypocritically said that the more such a team is, the more dangerous it is, and when facing life and death, even the most docile little animals will rise up and fight hard.
Arsenal have to be cautious.
As a result, Arsenal once again beat Pompeii 4-1 with the same score at home, winning 19 consecutive games and continuing to lead the standings.
In the next FA Cup match against West Ham United, Professor Arsene Wenger continued to be cautious, saying that West Ham are a difficult team to play, but Arsenal came on as a substitute and scored three goals in a row when West Ham United took the lead, and finally in the fourth round.
Two big wins in a row, Wenger's caution has become a joke in England, the media say that Wenger's fake caution is crocodile's tears, and now except for Manchester United and Chelsea, other teams are likely to give points to Arsenal, and even the media in other European countries believe that Arsenal has confirmed the treble this season, and can even give Arsenal a trophy in advance.
The Arsenal players were also touted by the media, fans and peers, and Cesc Fabregas, who has always been low-key, publicly put forward the slogan of winning the championship in the 34th season.
