Chapter 579 : See also the big counterattack! !
After reminiscing with Giacherini, Li Zihan and Pogba returned to London a little behind the team.

The Asian Cup in January next year is getting closer and closer, which means that Arsenal will lose Li Zihan for at least a month!And it is also a very critical Christmas game period. January is the month for domestic cup competitions such as league points and the FA Cup.

Now Wenger has started to have a headache about this matter. It is impossible for him not to let Li Zihan go when he is recruited from the Chinese team, so Wenger can only let the team crazily grab points during Li Zihan's presence.

On November [-]st, the tenth round of the league continued.This round of Arsenal will face the newly promoted Burnley at home. The Burnley team has not been promoted to the Premier League for many years, so they are not familiar with this team.

In order to avoid capsizing in the gutter, Wenger dispatched all the main players in this game.

Including Li Zihan, Sanchez and Ozil are all in the starting list. Harry Kane is not in the starting lineup for this game, but is sitting on the bench. He is replaced by the French center Daji who has just returned from injury Lu.

It was only when the French center returned to the court that he realized that his main position was gone. He now needs to compete with Harry Kane, the native English center.

Fortunately, Li Zihan has been playing as a winger for a long time now. Otherwise, if he is allowed to play the position of the shadow striker and the nine and a half positions that he made his debut, then the competition in the middle striker will be even more intense.

When the bald Webber blew the whistle for the end of the game, the scoreboard at the Emirates Stadium had already frozen at three to zero.Arsenal won the newly promoted team without bloodshed at home, and Li Zihan scored another goal.

Ozil scored a goal and scored an assist. Giroud assisted Sanchez to score in the first game back from injury!

Germany's talented midfielder Ozil was elected the best player of the game, which once again attracted the attention of other teams for him.

According to gossip, many teams are now interested in this German midfielder with Turkish origin.Among them, Bayern Munich, Dortmund and Juventus are the most sincere.I just don't know if Dortmund and Juventus can afford this huge transfer fee.

After leaving Gotze, it seems that Royce can't keep it.But for the sake of the team's performance, the Hornets have to sign in to strengthen the lineup, among which Arsenal's German midfielder Ozil is the best choice.The Hornets don't mind that this German genius comes from the youth training of his sworn enemy Schalke [-], the only thing he minds is his transfer fee and salary!
As for Juventus. After leaving Pogba, and Pirlo is getting older year by year.The century-old Bianconeri from Serie A urgently needs a midfield organizer. Although Vidal and Marchisio are very good, they are of different types.

Moreover, Juventus is not confident that it can keep Vidal. He is 26 years old this year. If he wants to win some important honors in his career, such as the Champions League champion, he is very likely to leave the team.

Of course, these transfers have not yet become a reality. Even if Arsenal consider selling Ozil, it will not be a matter of this season.

Bid farewell to the league with Burnley, Arsenal ushered in the Champions League game again in the middle of the week.This is the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage this season. The opponent is the Belgian giants Anderlecht, which Arsenal is not familiar with.

This time, Arsenal played against Anderlecht, but there is almost no difference between home and away for a team with such a disparity in strength between Arsenal and Anderlecht.

Arsenal defeated the invading Anderlecht team [-]-[-] at home. In this way, Arsenal won all four games in the group stage and accumulated [-] points. They have already won the group qualification two rounds in advance .

In this way, unless it is against Juventus in the end, Arsenal will score a big away game, at least they have to beat Arsenal 1-[-], and Juventus can take away the No.[-] position in the group from Arsenal.

This is possible in theory, but it is almost impossible in real life, unless Arsenal themselves want to help Juventus.
The Champions League game did not bring pressure to Arsenal, and in a blink of an eye the theme of Arsenal returned to the league again.

In the No.11 round of the league this season, Arsenal will go away to face the Swansea Swansea game.Swansea's performance so far this season is very eye-catching. They have played ten rounds in the league, and their ranking actually appeared in the fifth position in the standings, almost entering the semi-finals of the Champions League.

And Swansea scored seven points strongly in the three games against Manchester City, Manchester United, and Liverpool! !Two wins and one tie! !

So in the face of such a difficult nut to crack, Wenger dispatched most of the main players.Li Zihan, Harry Kane and Sanchez were all present.It's just that Ozil's position was replaced by Cazorla, and in the midfield it was Pogba's partner Ramsey!
There have been some changes in the central defender. Modesat's partner is no longer his old partner Hewedes, but Cameroon's talented central defender Nkuru.

And just 7 minutes into the game, Swansea scored.South Korean midfielder Ki Sung-yong scored a wonderful long-range shot from the front of the penalty area.

Ji Chengyong, who scored the goal, was so excited that he ran around the Liberty Stadium!At a time when the Asian media boasted that Li Zihan had already boasted too much, he, a Korean player, was able to score a leading goal against Arsenal, which was enough for him to be excited and happy.

But Ji Chengyong's good luck and excitement for leading Swansea did not last long. In the No. 12 minute of the audience, Li Zihan staged a good show of riding thousands of miles alone, directly defeating the White Swan Swansea's defense line. Torn into several pieces.

When all the Swansea players were guarding against Li Zihan's shot, he passed the football.It's just that it wasn't given to Harry Kane in the middle, but to Sanchez who followed up from the far corner of the goal on the other side!

The Chilean winger didn't waste Li Zihan's kindness and scored easily.

Although the two sides returned to the same starting line, Swansea's behavior still let everyone see the ability of this white swan to disrupt the situation.

The two sides changed sides to fight again in the second half, and Swansea scored a goal in the opening 3 minutes of the second half.This is a quick counterattack from Swansea. After they placed the bus in the penalty area and then defended an attack from Arsenal, Swansea immediately responded!
Swansea's Ivorian striker Boni dribbled the ball for a long distance, suppressed his African countryman, Cameroon defender Nkuru, and then shot directly.

The football cut through Ospina's fingers and flew into the goal guarded by the Colombian goalkeeper for the second time in the game.

The Liberty Stadium once again fell into a sea of ​​cheers, and they seemed to see the third giants that fell under their butcher's knife this season.

But this time their cheers did not last long. Less than 5 minutes after Boni scored, Li Zihan made them despair again.

This time, it wasn't Li Zihan who rode solo, but Arsenal's layers of passing made Swansea a little bit at a loss, and then Li Zihan directly kicked the ball in front of the goal to meet the football from Cazorla.

Arsenal equalized for the second time.

Arsenal's second goal did not depress Swansea, but activated Swansea's emotions and passion even more.In their view, if they can lead Arsenal twice, then it is possible to lead three times.

So in the next game, Swansea, who was sitting at the Liberty Stadium, played more and more unrestrained, and finally the two teams staged an offensive showdown at the Liberty Stadium!

But they forget that the current Arsenal is a team that is not afraid of confrontation.

Li Zihan scored twice in the No.607 minute of the game. When both sides are pressing high, fouls are easy to occur.

South Korean central midfielder Ji Sung-yong brought Li Zihan down about four yards in front of the penalty area, and Li Zihan came up to take a free kick.

Without any suspense, the football entered the opponent's goal for the third time.

Ji Chengyong smashed his fist in great annoyance.

At this time, Wenger also began to make substitution adjustments. He first replaced Ramsey with Wilshere, and then replaced Harry Kane with Chamberlain.

This change is to push Li Zihan to the front, and then increase the attack power and ball control ability of the midfielder.

Facts have proved that such a substitution is very correct. With the addition of Chamberlain and Wilshere in the midfield, the ball-handling ability and pressing ability have been greatly improved, and Li Zihan is watching the frontcourt. Swansea is a little afraid to give it a go!
And when the game came to the No.704 minute of the game, Swansea didn't have to worry about it anymore. Li Zihan took advantage of a counterattack to make another victory!
Four to two! !Arsenal once again staged a big counterattack, but this time the opponent is no longer a wealthy team, but a mid-range team Swansea!
Taking advantage of this time, Arsenal used up the last substitution quota, Li Zihan, the hero of this game, was replaced, and he was replaced by England winger Walcott.

Since Walcott was injured last season, he rarely has the chance to play this season, basically playing a dozen, 10, [-] minutes off the bench.

Li Zihan received a standing ovation from the fans after leaving the field. Although it was an away game, the small team of Swansea didn't mind showing their demeanor.Because after all, this is the first team so far this season to walk away from Swansea and take the spoils.

And the result of this game was also fixed at [-] to [-]. Walcott's appearance did not change the final score, but to a certain extent, it severely restrained Swansea, making them have to be cautious, and finally tied. Wasted time and opportunity to fight back!
