Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 222

Although it was an away game, the last time Arsenal lost to Villa in an away game dates back to 16 years ago, so the media in this game are generally optimistic about Arsenal.

In addition, Arsenal have been in good form recently. Although they were beaten by Dortmund in the middle of the week, the final result ended with Arsenal's victory.

And after a few games of running-in, Arsenal's new players have integrated into the team. Overall, Arsenal's signings this summer can be said to be quite good.

Even though Welbeck's current performance is a bit horrible, Welbeck still has his own talent, it depends on whether he will work hard and get better.

This seems to have been proved in the game against Villa. Arsenal played against Villa at the beginning of the game. Although Villa, who played at home, tried their best to resist, they still couldn't resist for too long.

No.207 minutes, Li Shou took a goal kick with a big foot, Welbeck withdrew the header and ferried, Griezmann inserted from the side to catch up with the ball and rushed into the penalty area.

Facing Villa goalkeeper Guzan, Griezmann showed himself as a killer, and calmly pushed the far corner to help Arsenal open the scoring.

One minute later, after Villa kicked off, the ball was cut off by Ramsey just after halftime, and the latter passed it to Griezmann immediately after stealing the ball.

Reciprocated, Griezmann made a pass from the bottom, Welbeck in the penalty area carried the defensive player in front of the goal and shot.

"What's the matter? Welbeck actually scored a goal? God, could it be that I'm hallucinating?" If Welbeck heard Andy Gray's exaggerated tone, would it be a live-action PK?

In fact, it wasn't just Andy Gray who was surprised. The Arsenal fans all looked in disbelief. It was Welbeck who wasted too many opportunities in the first two starting games, and it was the kind of opportunity that was almost inevitable.

In any case, Welbeck's goal is a good thing for Arsenal, but it may also be a bad thing, because this goal will make people have more expectations for Welbeck, although Welbeck's talent is worth looking forward to. In the mouth of the English media, Welbeck has a talent that comes out every 20 years.

But regardless of expectations or anything else, it will be revealed slowly in the future. The season has just begun, and Giroud will have to wait until next year to recover. Welbeck still has more time.

Guzan, who had just caught the ball from his own goal, could only continue to catch the ball with a depressed face. Guzan probably never dreamed that his journey to catch the ball was not over yet, and it came very quickly.

Just 2 minutes later, after Villa's re-kick-off, he conceded the ball again, but it was only 1 minute later than the second goal, Koscielny who stole the ball this time.

After the Arsenal central defender steals the ball, he immediately divides to the left. Gibbs plugs in at high speed, and Griezmann moves laterally to attract defensive players to create space for Gibbs.

Welbeck still made a bottom pass, and Griezmann rushed into the penalty area to grab the spot, but in the end it was the French left-back Sissoko who rushed in with Griezmann to get the first spot.

It's just that Sissoko didn't clear the siege, and even kicked a very wonderful shot, and then the ball flew into Aston Villa's goal to help Arsenal score the third goal.

"Maybe Sissoko mistakenly thought he was in the national team when he saw his compatriot Griezmann," Andy Gray said humorously.

Although Arsenal did not score the goal themselves, this did not affect Arsenal's advantage of getting 3 goals before the end of the first half, and these 3 goals were completed within 5 minutes.

"The game is over. Not to mention that Aston Villa is behind on the scene, the Arsenal goalkeeper Li Shou alone is enough to make Villa's forwards despair."

In fact, from the start of the game to now, Li Shou has not appeared on camera much, because most of the time Arsenal played against Aston Villa. In the first half, Villa's few shots were not within the range of the goal frame.

This situation changed in the second half. After leading 3:0, the Arsenal players began to relax their vigilance, which gave Li Shou a chance to perform.

With five points in the second half, Villa played a quick counterattack. Abang Lahuo received a long pass from his teammate and rushed into the Arsenal penalty area. Li Shou blocked it with his legs.

No. In the 606th minute, Richardson blasted a powerful long shot from the top of the arc. If Li Shou hadn't focused enough, Aston Villa might have moved back a goal.

Three minutes later, Villa made a comeback, Delph sent a through kick, Li Shou made a decisive attack, and had a pure speed competition with Abanglahor.

Although Li Shou didn't mind his own performance, he did mind losing the ball, so after completing the clearance, Li Shou roared at the back line.

In the face of Li Shou's anger, both Koscielny and Mertesacker could only bear it, not to mention that they didn't take it for granted. With the help of the first three games, Li Shou had already told them who was the best.

In the first three games, Li Shou received unanimous praise, but Arsenal's defense was not uncommonly criticized. In fact, their performance was too bad. A large part of the reason why Li Shou performed so badly was because the group in front of him was too bad.

Under Li Shou's roar, the performance of Arsenal's defense finally improved, but even so, Li Shou still did not dare to take it lightly. With Arsenal's defense, if Li Shou just took it lightly, it would be basically the same as committing suicide.

But no matter what, Arsenal won the game, but when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score was still 3:0.

In the case of a three-goal lead, not only the defense was relaxed, but Arsenal's midfield was not as active as in the first half, and eventually no goals were scored in the entire second half.

After the game, Li Shou was finally no longer the highest scorer in the game. Although Li Shou made several wonderful saves in the second half, Aston Villa did not threaten the goal guarded by Li Shou in the whole game.

After defeating Aston Villa, Arsenal's record in the first five rounds was 4 wins and 1 tie with 13 points, ranking first in the standings. However, Arsenal's first place in the standings is not exclusive.

In the fifth round of the league, Chelsea fought fiercely against Manchester City. The two sides ended in a 10:1 draw after 1 and [-] minutes.

It is said that the first five rounds of the Premier League this season are very chaotic. Except for Arsenal and Chelsea, the traditional strong teams have overturned. Manchester City only has 7 points, and Manchester United is even worse, only 5 points.
