The fifth update is over!

------

At the end of October, Qin Xiong was suspended for the second game in the league. He and Sylvia watched the north London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham at White Hart Lane. Arsenal drew 10:1 with Tottenham in the away game.

Yes, in the post-Vieira era, Arsenal seems to be less bloody on the field, coupled with the team's strategy of defending and counterattacking in the away game, so that Arsenal's fighting posture in the North London derby is no longer the same as before So brave and fearless, on the contrary, Tottenham's indomitable style of play first established the lead. If it weren't for the hatred factor, I am afraid that Tottenham would not have given Arsenal a chance to equalize the score in the second half.

In the continuous absence of Qin Xiong in the Premier League, Arsenal's average goal rate plummeted from nearly 3 goals to 1 goal. Qin Xiong's importance to Arsenal is self-evident.

At the same time, in the Fleet Street replay match, some football critics pointed out: Although Qin Xiong cannot replace Vieira in the position of spiritual leader, he will still inject blood into Arsenal!

Arsenal is a technical team, but on the court, it needs courage. Qin Xiong is also a technical player, but his fighting spirit and combat posture are often very aggressive, and he dares to confront the opponent directly. The hemorrhagic side broke out at critical moments, which is exactly what Arsenal needs. In addition to technical and tactical needs, Qin Xiong's role should not be ignored by the outside world.

No matter what the reason is, Arsenal needs Qin Xiong, but the contract renewal negotiations between the team and Qin Xiong are becoming more and more difficult.

Dane tried to satisfy Freddy's demands little by little, but as time passed.Freddie's requirements are also constantly rising.

Arsenal can't show the courage to make a decision with a hammer. Freddie believes that Qin Xiong is "losing profits" every week. He always has a weekly salary of nearly [-] pounds. In his eyes, it is a loss. Arsenal must do compensation as a condition added to the new contract.

In other words, as time goes by, Freddy's requirements will only become higher and higher, and Arsenal will improve the conditions even a little bit.But Freddie was still not satisfied, and in the process, the friendly relationship between the two sides was gradually being worn away, becoming rigid and accumulating contradictions.

Wenger also tried to talk to Qin Xiong about the contract renewal in private. There are some things that need not be said too clearly between the master and the apprentice. It is impossible for Wenger to bargain with Qin Xiong to discuss the contract, and Qin Xiong will not do such a thing.Because he is not good at it.Unprofessional, he doesn't know if the clauses in a contract have potential value, or potential traps, talk to Wenger?If Wenger is willing to talk in detail, it should be Wenger and Freddie. Anyway, Qin Xiong will not talk about it.

So Wenger's conversation with Qin Xiong had no results. Qin Xiong put on an attitude of "I will leave the contract to the agent." At best, he expressed his inner position: he is willing to stay at Arsenal.

But the premise is that Arsenal must give him enough team status and treatment.He does not compare with other giants teams, he only requires his contribution to be directly proportional to his gains.

Qin Xiong's suspension from the Premier League is over, and the first thing to play is the fourth game of the Champions League group stage at Highbury in early November.

The opponent is Sparta Prague, who are fighting back to back.

After three rounds, Arsenal won all 3 games and ranked first in the group.

Ajax is second with 4 points.

Toon scored 3 points.

Sparta Prague has only 1 point.

Under such a background, Sparta Prague still has to strive for victory in the away game. If they fail to score 3 points, they may be declared out in the fourth round.

Arsenal settled the battle in 30 minutes.

Qin Xiong scored the first goal with a free kick outside the penalty area, and then assisted Henry to score in a positional battle.Hleb also sent Henry a wonderful pass in the 30th minute.

30 minutes, 3:0.Sparta Prague fell into the abyss.

Arsenal didn't even look straight at their opponents, the strength gap between the two teams was too great.

Sparta Prague couldn't shake Arsenal's goal at all.Arsenal died down after taking the lead.

Wenger made substitutions early in the second half, and Sparta Prague didn't have any expectations for the game, and they defended with all their might.

Arsenal finally beat Sparta Prague 3-0 at home.

After the fourth game of the group stage, Arsenal took the lead in advancing to the last 4 of the Champions League with 12 points from all four games.

Ajax, ranked second in the group, has 7 points after double-killing Thun.

Thun has 3 points, Sparta Prague still has 1 point.

Arsenal qualify two rounds ahead of schedule, and it doesn't seem difficult to win the first place in the group. After all, there is a huge gap of 5 points behind Ajax.

As of the end of the fourth round of the Champions League eight groups, only two teams have advanced to the top 16 of the Champions League, Arsenal and Lyon.

Fleet Street commented on Arsenal, which has a record in full swing: Arsenal’s progress in the Champions League is obvious to all. Just a few years ago, whether they could qualify from the group stage was still a suspense, but now there is almost no need to worry about them. It is undeniable that this is related to the growing disparity in the strength of the Champions League group stage. However, considering that such giants as Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Juventus, etc. have not qualified ahead of schedule, it must be admitted that Arsenal Arsenal's progress in the Champions League, but what kind of performance they will have in the knockout rounds is indeed a question mark. Many people think that Arsenal already has the strength to win the Champions League, but there are too many chances in the Champions League. If last season Can pass the Chelsea level, dare to say that it will not be Arsenal who joins AC Milan in Istanbul?

Perhaps Arsenal is not the top three favorite teams in the Champions League. After all, Arsenal lacks the background of the Champions League, but the stability of the record still brings positive stimulation to the club's long-term income.

The UEFA Champions League mission in the first half of the season has been completed. It is not a big problem for Arsenal to secure the first place in the Champions League group. Now they can fully focus on the league.

In the No.12 round of the Premier League, Arsenal played against Sunderland at home.

Wenger resorted to new offensive tactics, Van Persie temporarily replaced Ljungberg as the starter, this is Van Persie's opportunity.

In the more than a year since he came to Arsenal, Van Persie adapted to the Premier League with limited opportunities, learned Henry's running awareness in the team, honed his shooting skills, and Wenger tried to build him into the next Henry. , at least Van Persie has a similar trajectory to Henry: changing from a winger to a center forward.

It's just that Van Persie doesn't get the support of a team like Henry.

As long as Henry is in power, no striker in the team can snatch Henry's center forward position, just like Qin Xiong now plays the role of the team's No. 9 and a half, there is no one to replace him. In the past, there was Bergkamp. After Bergkamp is about to retire, if Qin Xiong cannot play, Wenger will not consider replacing Qin Xiong with others. He will directly change his tactics, because Qin Xiong's role and position are too special, and no one can accomplish what he wants. The pitch contribution made. (to be continued~^~)
