Facing an opponent like Portsmouth, Arsenal showed no mercy at home. With Henry scoring twice and Bergkamp, Pires, Xiao Ge and Robin van Persie scoring one goal each, Arsenal won 6-0 at home.
Defeated the opponent, achieved three consecutive league victories, and continued to maintain pressure on Chelsea.
2005 is coming to an end, Arsenal has won consecutive victories on all fronts, and the outside world has begun to copy Arsenal. It is likely that Arsenal will have a big harvest this year. After losing Vieira, Arsenal has begun to enter a new era supported by newcomers.
, there is a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere in Arsenal's training base.
"Xiao, how many championships do you think we will win this year?" Fabregas took advantage of the training break and quickly came to find Xiao Ge.
"Haha, there are still five months left, who knows, but Cesc, we will definitely gain something this season, don't worry." Xiao Ge looked at Fabregas's hopeful expression and felt already in his heart
Once you make up your mind, you will definitely not be like in your previous life, with nothing to gain.
"It goes without saying that many newspapers are already optimistic about our team. Even The Sun is predicting that we are likely to win the League Cup, FA Cup, League and Champions League titles. Tsk tsk, I must win this year.
Take them all." Van Persie said even more arrogantly.
"That's right, Robin, I can officially join the team then, haha." Song said with anticipation. He is still here on loan, but Thompson has sent people to start negotiations with Arsenal, hoping to
Sign Song, who is now also a player under Thompson.
"Haha, come on, Chelsea and Barcelona are equally strong this year, as well as Manchester United's other opponents. We can't be careless." Bergkamp on the side was not blindly optimistic.
"Well, there is still a lot of competition, we can't be careless, and we can't underestimate the enemy until the end." Lehmann also nodded solemnly and said.
Among the two of them, Bergkamp has the most experience in winning the Premier League in the team, while Lehmann has the most playing experience. The two of them know that Arsenal is not in an easy moment yet, and they are even 4 points behind Chelsea in the league. Now they say
It's too early for anything.
However, even though they said that, many people in the Arsenal team are still newcomers or have just entered the Premier League, so I don't know how effective their words are.
Soon, Arsenal went to Villa Park Stadium to challenge Aston Villa away from home, which was Arsenal's last league opponent in 2005.
"Hi, fellow fans, welcome to Villa Park. This is our team's last home stadium in 2005. We face the challenge of Arsenal, a super strong team from London, but our players will defend our
Home, now, let’s get into the game together!!” As Aston Villa’s on-site commentator shouted, Aston Villa’s 20th round match against Arsenal officially began.
Arsenal's formation is 442, starting list: Lehmann; Toure, Nishioka, Lauren, Campbell; Hleb, Xiao Ge, Flamini, Fabregas; Van Persie, Henry.
Aston Villa also belongs to the 442 formation, starting list: Sorensen; Barry, Delany, Hughes, Ricky Weir; Davis, McCann, Milner, Buck; Baros,
Mel. It seems that Aston Villa coach O'Reilly does not intend to stick to it.
Sure enough, after the game started, Aston Villa really launched an offensive banner. Under the cheers of the home fans, they did not defend from the beginning, but launched a fierce attack on Arsenal, using Baros and Moore many times.
Speed creates a threat.
This style of play is particularly beneficial to Arsenal. From the beginning of the game, Arsenal took advantage of the opponent's opportunities and launched many counterattacks.
The frontcourt trio of Xiao Ge, Henry, and Robin van Persie kept ringing in front of Aston Villa's goal.
After overcoming the opponent's pressing attack, Arsenal quickly launched its own attack, and Aston Villa was in a panic for a while.
In the seventeenth minute of the game, Lauren kicked the ball forward and sent the ball to the frontcourt. Xiao Ge first got ahead of Davis on the right, unloaded the ball, then turned around, squeezed past the opponent, and faced Ricky.
To block Weir's block, he moved his left foot and his body swayed to the left. The moment the opponent's center of gravity moved, he then buckled the instep, then pulled it back to get a certain amount of space, and moved his body to the right.
, quickly broke through from the joint encirclement of Rickyville and Davis.
After Xiao Ge broke through Aston Villa's defense, he quickly rushed to the penalty area. When he saw Hughes approaching, Xiao Ge did not bother and directly sent a through ball to his back. Van Persie had already quickly ran there.
Xiao Ge also directly intervened without stopping.
Van Persie got the ball on the right side of the penalty area. He did not stop the ball and take it again. Instead, at the moment Xiao Ge intervened, he quickly sent it and knocked it back to the center.
At this time, Aston Villa's defense was loosened at the moment when the two quickly passed the ball. Delany and Hughes subconsciously came over to cover the ball when Robin van Persie passed the ball, but unfortunately one person was missed.
Xiao Ge made a clever pass the moment Delany turned around. Van Persie easily unloaded the ball behind him and followed up with a shot.
'gooo~~, oh, **, the damn post denied Robin's goal." Seeing the ball pass the opponent's goalkeeper, Senke was ready to celebrate, but soon heard a "bang" sound, the ball
The upright on the far end flew out, and he said angrily, Arsenal's luck is a bit worse today.
Wenger frowned when he saw the ball. Arsenal had many opportunities after the opening, but they were all wasted. Obviously Wenger was not satisfied with his team's performance.
In the first half of the attack, Arsenal was like the epitome of this ball. They took the last step. If they couldn't attack for a long time, the Arsenal players were not willing to give up. In the last fifteen minutes, Arsenal launched another wave of attacks.
After a wave of offensive attacks, Aston Villa became more and more confident as they defended.
In the 37th minute of the game, after Xiao Ge got the ball, he first deftly jumped away from Milner's flying tackle, and then used his speed to pass the opponent's left back and pass straight to the middle.
Henry received Xiao Ge's side pass in the middle and followed up with a through ball, helping Hleb to form a single goal. However, Hleb's shot was blocked by the magical Sorensen with his foot, and he missed the final goal.
Good time to score.
Arsenal failed to seize the opportunity in offense and made another mistake in defense. In the 43rd minute of the game, Aston Villa used the same trick. Buck broke through Arsenal's left defense line and sent it into the penalty area.
Roche followed up with a volley 14 yards from the goal.
“gooooooo~~~~~~~~~~~l, Baros, Baros scored the Arsenal goal, one to zero, one to zero, it’s wonderful, we are ahead of Arsenal!!!!
"
"Well done Baros." "Kill Arsenal" "We are ahead"~~~~ As the ball entered the goal, the Aston Villa fans cheered in surprise and were suppressed by their opponents for half time.
They didn't expect that they would score the lead at the last minute, how could they not be excited?
After scoring a goal, Arsenal's offense became even more crazy, but there was not much game time in the first half. As the referee blew his whistle, Arsenal had to enter the locker room with a zero-to-one situation in the away game.
.
"What are you doing, where are your shots? This game is our last game of the year. I don't want to see you have any carelessness. On the defensive line, we can't easily give the opponent the ball. I hope you can win the ball in the second half."
You can seize opportunities, understand?"
Wenger said to his players with a livid face, seeing that 2005 was about to pass, Wenger did not want his team to suffer any surprises.
"I understand"~~~~~;
"Xiao, Pav, continue your breakthrough in the second half. Cesc, you have to keep up with the attack in time. Robin, Thierry, I hope you can find the shooting feeling. In a word, our team wants a victory."
End of 2005!!" Wenger glanced at each of his team members with a serious look.
This was the first time in a while that the Arsenal players had seen Wenger so angry, and they quickly nodded solemnly.
