Chapter 680: A Familiar Script

In the 28th round of the league, Arsenal's opponent is Magpie Newkars; Newcastle's record this season is actually quite good, although it is impossible to compete with Arsenal, Liverpool and other teams for the championship and Champions League qualification, but they can go to qualify for the League Cup.

For Arsenal, they really don't have too many options now, and once again met a terrifying opponent like Barcelona in the Champions League, so they can only go all out at this time. Although Arsenal have achieved very good results in the league, they still need to continue to work hard.

In fact, in the last two seasons, even Arsenal's record is very good, but in the face of Newcastle they really did not occupy too much initiative, although Arsenal's strength is strong, but Newcastle definitely has a certain background, they can still bring Arsenal a certain difficulty.

In the first time of last season, the two teams even played a shocking 4-4 draw, Arsenal were held to a 4-0 lead by Newcastle, which is also the motivation for Arsenal's players, they must not allow Newkars to equalize again, Arsenal players now have more confidence to win the game. In the first leg of this season, the two teams drew 0-0; Although Arsenal did not lose, they were sniped by Newcastle again and again, which also made Arsenal, which was originally full of morale, indeed a little injured.

This time Arsenal are at home to Newcastle, so the Gunners are also coming to Newcastle with the determination to win, and this time Arsenal will not let Newcastle cause them problems again. The goal of the Arsenal players now is to win the game. This time Arsenal's goal is to get the three points very simply.

Arsenal are now going all out in the league. Now Arsenal also has more sense of urgency; Because of the continuous encounters with strong opponents, and also because the current Gunners have no loose time to adjust, so they naturally need to seize every game to sprint with all their might, and they need to completely get rid of Manchester City in the league, and now they can't continue to let Manchester City bite the points in the standings.

Arsenal at home has some small changes in the lineup, although the team has some minor injuries, but for Arsenal it is also time to rotate some of the team's lineup, because Arsenal's game task during this period is really heavy. Naturally, the fitness of Arsenal's players has also been affected. Although Newcastle are good, they must have the confidence to win the game for Arsenal.

goalkeeper Szczesny; On the back line, from right to left, McConn, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Gibbs lined up; The midfield combination is Arteta, Alexander Song, Walcott, Rosicky; Perhaps for Arsenal, the most suspenseful thing in the lineup is the striker, and there is no suspense at all for Xiao Qing and Van Persie to form the strongest combination.

As for Newcastle, goalkeeper Krul; On the back line are Simpson, Williams, Colocini and Thornton; As for the midfield, there are Alfa, Tiot, Cabaye, Gutiérrez, Obertan who have gathered heavy troops; The powerful center forward Demba Ba is naturally at the front, and Newcastle made a big fuss in the center and back in this game, obviously because they know that Arsenal's goal form during this period is hot, and they have to limit Arsenal's attack, and only in this way can they have a chance to take away points at the Emirates Stadium.

Although Newcastle had a lot of arrangements in the midfield and back in this game, the Arsenal players were still full of confidence in winning the game at home, and they did not think that Newcastle could cause difficulties for Arsenal at all; When the Gunners are trying their best to win the game. When the Arsenal players get their attitudes right at this time, it's hard for them to capsize in the gutter. Newcastle are good. But Arsenal are even better and winning the game is very certain for Arsenal.

Although Arsenal showed a lot of initiative in the game and did have a certain degree of aggression, Arsenal did not have much advantage at the beginning of the game, and even at this time Arsenal was still very limited in attack, and they were even a little frozen by Newcastle.

In the fourth minute of the game, Alexander Song sent the ball over the top to the penalty area in the middle of the field, and Van Persie made a mistake on his chest to stop the ball and failed to complete the goal. In the ninth minute, Walcoat tried to beat former Inter defender Thornton with speed on the right side of the field, but the Italian succeeded in getting stuck with his outstanding physical condition, and he was not inferior to the tiger in the game. In the twelfth minute, Van Persie and Arteta took tactical corners, and Xiao Qing, who received the pass, hit the goal in the small penalty area and did not pose a threat.

The Arsenal players have certainly been affected by some of the influences, and it will not be easy to win this game, and even now it seems that it is not necessarily easy to score. The successive attacks were resolutely put to an end by Newcastle, which must have affected the Arsenal players a bit.

The Arsenal players are also ruthless at this time, they are holding their breath in their hearts, and the Arsenal players definitely do not think that Newkars can always limit the Gunners' attack. Although they did not achieve too good results in the first few attacks, the Arsenal players also made up their minds at this time; Arsenal have never doubted their attacking prowess, although they have not been able to score or even really threaten Newcastle's goal at the moment; But Arsenal's players are just more likely to think they need to increase their attacking intensity, and Arsenal need to play more quality attacks at this time.

Although Arsenal is stepping up their attack at this time, the Gunners' attitude is also more resolute; But when Arsenal began to press hard, they were also caught by Newcastle who were too far forward in the formation, and Newcastle's ferocious and sharp counterattack made Arsenal seem to be returning to the familiar script again.

In the thirteenth minute of the game, former Manchester United winger Obertan broke the ball and quickly counterattacked and crossed the bottom, and Ben Arfa got rid of Gibbs laterally on the left side of the penalty area and hit the near corner with his left foot. Newkarls got off to a good start. One to zero. Newkars scored in some surprise at the Emirates Stadium as they were one goal ahead of league leaders Arsenal.

Arsenal's players have certainly suffered a bit as they have once again fallen into the role of behind-the-scenes chasers. Although Arsenal defeated AC Milan at home in the previous Champions League knockout round, but that game aside, this is Arsenal's second early goal conceded in recent games.

Xiao Qing was speechless, although Arsenal seemed to be used to winning the game after equalizing; But to be honest, it's really not a very comfortable game and what Arsenal should need is to keep the game firmly in their hands all the time, rather than falling behind and having to catch up as they are now.

The depressed Xiao Qing and his teammates only looked at each other and smiled bitterly at this time. The role of a trailing chaser in a game is really not a pleasant thing, especially considering that the opponent is still a good Newcastle, which naturally makes it more difficult for Arsenal to equalise. Arsenal's players will not be willing to be beaten at home to Newcastle, and now the Gunners are even more desperate to score in this game.

However, although the current Arsenal is indeed falling behind by one goal in the game, the Arsenal players have not lost confidence at this time, and the atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium is still very good; Perhaps this is the effect of Arsenal's continuous fall-equaliser-reversal during this period of time, fans are no strangers to these, and they also believe that Arsenal's players will definitely be able to equalize in the next game.

Arsenal's players are not going to be left behind by a goal, and one thing is clear, and that is that Arsenal are league leaders. Arsenal's form during this period has been really good. So now although they are one goal behind, the Arsenal players still have enough confidence. They are also absolutely sure that they will be able to bounce back strongly in the next games.

It's just a one-goal gap, which is not too difficult for Arsenal, who are horrible in attack, and they are confident that they will soon equalise, and the last winner of this game can only be Arsenal, because they have confidence in themselves, because Arsenal will also maintain a better fighting spirit after conceding a goal.

The familiar scene made the Arsenal players very hurt and annoyed, but at this time, the Arsenal players were also cheering up. This is a game that Arsenal cannot afford to lose, as it is not just a game where Arsenal need to win against Newcastle, but also a crucial game in which they can take the opportunity to extend their lead in the table.

In an earlier match in the round of 28, Manchester City took on Swansea away; Although it was Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart who made a miraculous save from the penalty, Balotelli repeatedly wasted good chances, which also led to Swansea's 1-0 home defeat to Manchester City.

This is really a very good opportunity for Arsenal, who have always been closely chased by Manchester City in the league, and Arsenal have never really taken a big lead; Now that the league has entered the last ten rounds, it is also a good time for Arsenal to sprint with all their might.

Now that Manchester City has taken the initiative to make mistakes, Arsenal naturally needs to seize the opportunity at this time; Once Arsenal can win at home at this time, then they will widen the gap in the table to nine points, which also means that Arsenal is likely to establish an absolute lead in the standings in one fell swoop, and they will also be able to firmly grasp the initiative in the league title race.

It's a really good opportunity, and if Arsenal can win the game at this time, then they have a good chance of winning the league title on their way; If Arsenal fail to capitalise on their chances at this point, they will remain closely followed by Manchester City in the table. There is also a huge gap in such different treatments, and the Arsenal players know what is the best choice for the team, and they also hope to be able to grasp the absolute good opportunity at this time.
