Chapter 96: The Whistle Problem

Arsenal, who have won the league title, have not stopped there, and although they are happy with the honours they have achieved so far, Arsenal will continue to work hard for those who have not won the title. The current Gunners continue with the strong morale of winning the Carabao Cup and will be hoping to achieve more in one go.

Xiao Qing and his teammates were delighted, although the League Cup final had postponed the 28th round of matches between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, but the Gunners did not care; Now Arsenal has a far-sighted vision, although the derby with the city rival is very important, but this game will come sooner or later, and the task for Arsenal now is to play more haode. They are now in the hunt for the title, while Tottenham Hotspur are struggling to qualify for the Champions League.

The 2010-2011 Premier League season entered the 29th round of all-out competition. Gunners Arsenal sit at home against Black Cats Sunderland, this season's Black Cats Sunderland's record is still very good, now they have nine wins, eleven draws and nine losses, and now Black Cats are in eighth place in the standings, they are no longer the struggling relegation team.

Black Cat Sunderland still has a certain strength, but Arsenal, who just came to the League Cup title, is not easily satisfied, and now they are also very confident that they can beat Sunderland at home to continue to dominate the league standings, and Arsenal hope to continue to work hard to get points and end the competition for the league title.

The Gunners are ambitious and now they have a huge lead in the standings, and if they can win a few more games, then they can create a huge advantage to win the title; Five rounds of league games in advance or even less. That's what Arsenal are looking for right now. For Arsenal. Now there is a good chance of winning the championship with a huge lead.

Arsenal naturally hope to grasp this rare opportunity, and they hope to end the league journey early; Although the Gunners have created a huge lead in the league, the title is not in place and they cannot completely relax now. Therefore, Arsenal still needs to make persistent efforts, and only by really winning the league championship can Arsenal concentrate more on preparing for the Champions League. 、

The reigning Champions League champions have not been able to defend their title, and Arsenal are now constantly trying to challenge that record; The Gunners are confident, but they also know there are no underdogs in the knockout stages of the Champions League. So they need to work harder, they need to put all their energy into it. So once the league campaign is over, it's definitely good news for Arsenal; What's more, Arsenal still hope to win the FA Cup.

The wide spread of the front is because Arsenal have that quality, but playing on multiple fronts will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of Arsenal's road to winning the title. So now being able to finish the game on a few fronts is also good news for Arsenal. There are many teams that have the ability to win the championship, but they don't have enough quality and enough bench depth, so many fronts can only make these teams very likely to be blocked across the board, which is why very few teams in football can become treble-winning teams now. In the history of the Premier League, only Manchester United has won the treble, which naturally shows the difficulty of what Arsenal wants to do now.

Arsenal are now ambitious to achieve more, and they are now trying to outdo themselves and their opponents; The League Cup is in hand. Then Arsenal also need to go one step further, and the league title is very close to them. They may just need to work a little harder to win the league!

In the 29th round of the league, Arsenal played at home, and the atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium was also very hot; Although there was not much celebration for the team to win the Carabao Cup after 17 years, the current Arsenal fans cheered and sang on the victory at home, cheering for the team's excellent performance this season and believing that the team would surely be able to achieve more trophies.

In this game, Arsenal are missing Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie, Alexander Song, Theo Walcott, Vermaelen, all of whom have basically some injuries; But Arsenal can still guarantee enough starting line-up strength, and Arsenal are really good now because they have enough depth on the bench, which is why Arsenal dare to play on multiple fronts.

goalkeeper Szczesny; Sarnia, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Klich at the back; defenders Denilson, attackers Diabinasri, Arshavin; Twin strikers Xiao Qing and Chamak.

Xiao Qing is very satisfied with the team's current strength, although the team has encountered some injuries temporarily, but this is not a fatal injury, at least although the team's strength has been affected, but Arsenal's competitiveness can still be guaranteed.

Although Arsenal have just been crowned League Cup champions, Sunderland, the black cats who have had a good record this season, have nothing to fear, they have caused problems for Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, and they want to upset Arsenal to create a miracle.

Just two minutes into the game, Denilson's pass was wrong, and the Black Cats midfielder Cecion cut the ball to Henderson, who won a corner with a cross. After a corner, Arsenal's young goalkeeper Szczesny fell to the ground to save another threatening cross from Jordan Henderson.

The Gunners are furious, this is Arsenal's turf, Arsenal have just won the League Cup and are in high spirits; However, the Black Cats players caused problems for Arsenal at the beginning of the game, and the Gunners were dismounted from the Black Cats, which naturally made the Arsenal players very unhappy, they did not want to see their opponents wild at their own home turf, especially since this was the team's first game after winning the title, Arsenal needed a victory and the fans cheered and celebrated.

Arsenal threatened in the 10th minute when Chamak missed Klich's cross from the left, but Sagna on the other flank took the ball and passed it again, and Xiao Qing's right-footed volley from the edge of the box was denied by Sunderland goalkeeper Mignoli. Three minutes later, Arsenal attacked from the left, with Clichy's cross reaching the back post and Chamak being fouled for bringing down defender Badessley as he fought for the top.

The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium is getting hotter and hotter, and now Arsenal are once again showing a very good form in the game, and for Arsenal fans, they don't need to worry too much about the game now, and they believe that the team will definitely be able to win at home. Arsenal's excellent record this season has given Gunners fans a taste of victory, and now they are not worried about the team suffering their first defeat of the season against the average black cat Sunderland.

In the 28th minute, Koscielny broke the ball and launched a counterattack, Nasri fell to the ground in the middle circle, Arshavin quickly outflanked, and the hot pursuit of former Tottenham midfielder Bramble tackled and let his goalkeeper Mignoli get the ball first. In the 31st minute, Koscielny pressed forward again to get involved in the attack, and he was judged to have violated Goal Saha when he was scrambling in the box. In the 35th minute, Xiao Qingyi was bold, and after pulling the side, Xiao Qing took the ball on the right side and broke through to the bottom line with the ball under the three-man package, and shot at the near post at a small angle to touch the defender out of the bottom line. The next corner bounced off in front of goal, and Chamak hung an upside-down hook less than ten yards out and was confiscated by Mignolie!

Sunderland are becoming more and more passive, and the pressure on them is increasing on the defensive end; In the 39th minute of the game, Sunderland striker Richardson was booked for tackling Denilson from behind after losing the ball. The first half was about to end, Black Cats defender Badsley hit Nasri, Arsenal quickly took a free kick, and Xiao Qing, who responded, was blackfooted by Mensaha's back, but the referee did not indicate it.

Xiao Qing was very dissatisfied with the referee's decision, the opponent's successive obvious malicious fouls hindered the attack of Arsenal's players, and Arsenal did not get the penalty they deserved; This makes the Black Cats players sure to be bolder and bolder defensively, without enough warnings, which will only fuel the arrogance of Sunderland's defenders.

Sunderland don't have much of a defensive strategy at the moment, and they can only use more fouls to slow down Arsenal's attacking tempo. It has to be said that such lethal tactics can certainly disrupt Arsenal's attacking rhythm to a certain extent, but even in the fierce physical confrontation in the Premier League, such tactics need to be limited.

But it's clear that the referee is very loose now, which is not good news for Arsenal; The opposition is moving more and more in defence, which makes it inevitable that the Gunners will have more problems and even injuries in the game.

The first half ended with neither team scoreless; However, although Arsenal took the initiative on the field, although Arsenal did create more attacking threats. It's just that Arsenal are still a little short of scoring, and they haven't been lucky enough to score. The worst news for Arsenal is the referee's penalty scale, which could well be the whistle that changed the course of the game.

Xiao Qing did not leave the field immediately at halftime, and Xiao Qing was very dissatisfied with several penalties in the first half, and now Xiao Qing needs to communicate with the referee. Although it is impossible for the referee to change the decision or anything, Xiao Qing also hopes that Arsenal can get a more favorable whistle in the second half of the game.

Xiao Qing and his teammates are very confident in this game, and Arsenal is also determined to win this game; So although there are some troubles now, the Gunners are still very confident of winning Zuihou. Xiao Qing did not think that Sunderland could continue to be arrogant in the second half, and he believed that lethal tactics could only be effective at best, and they could not rely on such tactics to take away the victory at the Emirates Stadium.
