On the afternoon of Saturday, April 4th, six games in the 9nd round of the Premier League started at the same time.

Among them, the game between Chelsea and Arsenal kicked off at the same time at this time.

The suspense over how Arsenal and Chelsea will line up in the league is finally revealed.

Mourinho's Chelsea placed most of the substitutes at Stamford Bridge, allowing the main lineup to rest in order to prepare for a stronger combat effectiveness in the second round of the Champions League.

Wenger led the team to the Riverside Stadium and let the main lineup continue to fight!

The two coaches are the bosses of the team. No player will object to the decisions they make. In fact, the trade-offs and profit-loss considerations are not understandable from the player's standpoint.

There is no choice that maximizes benefits, and there is no choice that is foolproof and does not take risks.

Players certainly want to get the best results in all games, but the reality is that the physical consumption of sprinting at the end of the season will seriously affect their on-the-spot performance in key games.

After Qin Xiong rested for two days, his newly recovered physical strength was about to be used in the battle at the riverside stadium.

Middlesbrough led by McLaren did not expect Arsenal to send all the main players to the battle. They thought that Arsenal would take care of the Champions League so as to restrain themselves in the league, so that the main players could get a chance to breathe and recharge their batteries for preparation Four days later the war.

Middlesbrough have been fighting well at home this season, playing a steady counterattack in front of Arsenal, while Arsenal's midfield organization with Qin Xiong as the core takes advantage of the scene and launches an extremely oppressive attack.

Arsenal continued to attack Middlesbrough's gate with long-range shots, individual breakthroughs, and set-piece threats. With continuous efforts, Vieira, Pires, Ljungberg, and Ashley Cole showed off their long-range shots. Threat.

In the 43rd minute of the first half, Qin Xiong received a pass from Vieira in front of the penalty area and hit Southgate with a long shot, which refracted and flew into Middlesbrough's goal.

Goalkeeper Schwarzer felt helpless, and his prediction was correct.I dare not say that Qin Xiong's long-range shots are 100% blocked, but after all, I have great confidence.Unexpectedly, the football hit Southgate's shoulder and flew directly to the other side of the goal. Schwarzer could only look at the ball and sigh.

"Qin Xiong opened the scoring for Arsenal! He scored a key goal!"

The Gunners fans who accompanied the team to the away game cheered for Qin Xiong, but Qin Xiong himself felt fatigued faster than usual.

Before he had enough rest, he fought another tough battle. He couldn't think about whether he could face the game with a full body and mind in the Champions League a few days later. The thing before him was to win this league victory!

There are only seven rounds left in the league!

Middlesbrough continued their tenacious resistance at home and threatened Arsenal's goal with counterattacks.

In the second half of the game, Wenger was thinking about whether to make a substitution on the sidelines.But the score of 1:0 is not safe, he needs to be sure to win the game.

Arsenal continued to exert offensive pressure on Middlesbrough. In the 71st minute of the second half, Qin Xiong played the ball for Pires. Pires shot diagonally to the goal. After Schwarzer made a save, Henry made a supplementary shot in front of the goal. scored!

"Arsenal sealed the victory! 2:0, Henry scored his 28th Premier League goal of the season! Now he not only ranks first in the Premier League scorer list, but also looks at the top European leagues. Henry is also the top scorer list The top scorer! He is very likely to defend the European Golden Boot!"

After scoring this goal, Wenger made a decisive substitution, Qin Xiong.Henry and Pires were replaced.The game only lasted more than 70 minutes, but Qin Xiong felt that he was close to being physically exhausted.

The continuous consumption of physical energy in the latest stage is too serious.

In addition to ushering in the third game in seven days, he played the world preliminaries in Asia before, and he was exhausted from traveling to and from Asia and Europe. Jet lag itself would make his body weak.

What's more, every game in this recent game is a point grab or a key battle regardless of the strength of the opponent, and the investment will be greater than in the first half of the season.

Qin Xiong sat between Henry and Pires after leaving the field. The three of them were sweating profusely, watching the game engrossed while drinking water.

Arsenal began to defend with all their might.Lowering the pace of the game, Middlesbrough counterattacked with all their might.But their ability to attack tough battles is limited, and it is difficult to do anything in Arsenal's dangerous zone. The team's offensive creativity is really limited, making Arsenal's goal always near-miss.

When the game was over, Qin Xiong saw his teammates and the coaching staff whispering to each other.

He seemed to hear Chelsea's name, and then he was shocked, grabbed Henry's arm and asked, "What? What happened?"

Henry stood up directly, pulled Qin Xiong into a hug with a smile on his face, and shouted excitedly: "Chelsea was tied by Birmingham at home! Now we both have the same points, but our goal difference is 3 more than Chelsea. !Arsenal is back at the top of the standings!"

When Qin Xiong heard this, he hugged his teammates and jumped up and down to celebrate.

This relaxes their tense nerves.

The leader who changed hands in the middle of the season is now back in the hands of Arsenal!

Wenger showed great joy after the game for the first time in a long time.

Stamford Bridge is shrouded in a fog of worry.

Birmingham has no desires, but it doesn't mean that Birmingham will kneel down in front of Chelsea and give away three points indifferently!

In addition, Chelsea did not give their best in this round. When they encountered Birmingham's tenacious resistance, they seemed to be unable to score goals, and thus lost a victory that everyone thought should be achieved!

Mourinho said after the game that Chelsea did not lose the initiative to compete for the championship, because there will be another league match between Chelsea and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. At that time, Chelsea can return to the top of the standings as long as they beat Arsenal.

Wenger gave Mourinho what Mourinho once said after the game: Arsenal will not give Chelsea any more chances.

"The Times" focused on the report of the match between Chelsea and Arsenal.

"By the end of the 32nd round of the Premier League, Arsenal and Chelsea have raised the points to 81 points at the same time! The two teams broke through the 80-point average of the Premier League championship in the same period! 80 points, in the history of the Premier League restructuring 20 teams, It is very close or guaranteed to win the championship, but now the problem is: two teams have scored 81 points! This season is undoubtedly the most competitive and brutal season since the establishment of the Premier League! In the context of the next six rounds, we don’t have to doubt that Arsenal and Chelsea will reach the 90-point mark at the same time. What does that mean? From the 95/96 season to the 03/04 season, only Manchester United won the championship with 91 points in one season. Arsenal won the championship with 90 points last season. In the other 7 seasons, as long as the team with 90 points will win the championship! Now it is Chelsea and Arsenal. There is bound to be a team with a record surpassing 9 in the past 7 years, or even 8, 9 championship points, but only runner-up! This is a cruel fact, but this is the Premier League this season, unprecedentedly fierce and cruel!" (to be continued~^~)
