Chapter 329 No.20 Seven League Rounds

Both Li Shou and Buffon gave wonderful performances in the first round, but in the end it was the young Li Shou who beat the old Buffon.

Juventus has more shots than Arsenal, and the quality of shots is not worse than Arsenal, but in the end Arsenal left with a score of 1:0 at the Juventus Arena.

Li Shou not only performed better than Buffon in defense, but also gained something on the offensive end. After scoring the only goal in the game, Li Shou scored 3 goals in the Champions League. If you count 4 goals in the league, Li Shou has scored 7 goals for Arsenal so far this season.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Li Shou's 7 goals are nothing, but don't forget that Li Shou is just a goalkeeper. His 7 goals were all scored by free kicks, and Li Shou also kicked 7 free kicks this season.

In fact, if you look at the UEFA Champions League scorer list this season, you will find that Li Shou's 3 goals put him in the middle of the scorer list, and Li Shou is also the only goalkeeper.

With the performance of this game, Li Shou's status has been further improved. In the position of goalkeeper, Buffon has a pivotal position.

Li Shou's victory over Buffon was recognized by many reporters. Through these reporters, Li Shou's reputation will be further improved. The attention of the Champions League is higher than that of a single league. After all, the teams that can participate in the Champions League are the strong teams in their respective leagues.

However, the contest between Li Shou and Buffon is not over yet. The Champions League knockout match is a two-round system. In the middle of March, Juventus will be a guest at the Emirates Stadium, and the winner will really be decided then.

So after the game, Arsenal and Juventus need to immediately turn their attention back to the league, especially Arsenal, Serie A has long since declined, and now Juventus is almost the only one, while the Premier League is the top five.

Although Chelsea drew again in the last league game, Arsenal had the pressure of the Champions League, and Chelsea also had it. In order to prepare for the midweek Champions Cup, Mourinho made a lot of adjustments to the team's starting lineup. The result of the adjustment was that Chelsea played 1:1 with Burnley in the relegation zone at home.

This draw also reflected Li Shou's value from the side. Arsenal also adjusted their rotation, and Arsenal's adjustment was larger than Chelsea's, but in the end Arsenal won the game.

The biggest difference between the two lies in the goalkeeper. Li Shougao blocked all of Crystal Palace's shots. Although Courtois is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League, he is only one of the best. Li Shou is the best goalkeeper in the Premier League. There is no such thing.

Because of Chelsea's draw, Arsenal increased their advantage by 7 points, but these 7 points are not safe for Arsenal. There are 38 rounds in the league, and only 26 rounds have been played so far. In the case of 12 rounds, Chelsea still has a great chance to catch up and even overtake.

But this is under the premise that Li Shou will not be able to play in Arsenal's next game, but this is almost impossible.

Li Shou's strong physical fitness ensures that he will not be affected by injuries. Apart from injuries, it is hard to imagine what else can stop Li Shou from starting the game.

Red and yellow cards?At present, Li Shou does not have any yellow cards on him. As for the red cards, that has already passed. The goalkeeper is the position where the least number of cards are drawn and disputes with opponents.

Arsenal will usher in another Liverpool team, Everton, in the seventh round of League No.20. After Moyes left, Everton's performance has been declining. After 26 rounds this season, they only scored 28 points, which is only a few points away from the relegation zone.

But if you really want to say that Everton's lineup is actually not bad, there are even good players in all lines, so what is the problem with Everton's current record?

Well, it doesn't matter about Arsenal. Everton's performance has nothing to do with Arsenal. Even as an opponent, Arsenal hopes that Everton's performance will be as bad as possible.

Soon, Everton came to London, and Wenger made adjustments and rotations for this game. Paulista finally ushered in his debut at Arsenal.

In this game, Paulista replaced Mertesacker to partner with Koscielny, with Gibbs and Bellerin on both sides, Coquelin, Chamberlain and Cazorla in the midfield, but the striker has not changed, it is still a combination of Griezmann, Sanchez and Giroud.

The lack of striker rotation still has a certain impact on Arsenal. The Champions League in the middle of the week was quite intense. In the ten minutes before the start of the game, Arsenal played relatively smoothly. Even if they took the initiative, they did not launch much offensive.

In contrast, Everton, who had no advantage on the scene, launched two good offensives. In the 8th minute, Lukaku beat Paulista's header in the small penalty area and blasted a dead corner, which was saved by Li Shoufei.

This is not the first time Paulista has been suppressed by Lukaku. Before Lukaku completed the header 4 minutes ago, Paulista was contested with Lukaku.

No. 15 minutes, it was still Lukaku, but this time Lukaku was playing for his teammates, or under the entanglement of Paulista, he knocked the ball back to Barry who was plugging in.

Then Arsenal began to fight back. In 2 minutes, Giroud overwhelmed the Everton captain with a header and was saved. Then Paulista saved a bit of face with a corner kick and completed a header in the Everton penalty area.

But this did not change the fact that Paulista was suppressed by Lukaku in this game, and in No. 206 minutes, Paulista also made a fatal mistake.

Miralas' shot was directly confiscated by Li Shou, and then Li Shou passed the ball to Paulista. As a result, the ball was directly stabbed by Lukaku at the Brazilian's feet. Fortunately, Li Shou reacted quickly enough, otherwise Arsenal would have lost the ball.

Judging from the situation in the first 20 minutes, Paulista's performance was disappointing, but Wenger on the sidelines also knew that the Brazilian needs time to adapt to the team and the conditions of the Premier League, and will not be sentenced to death just because of one game.

Although Everton almost broke the goal, they still failed to score in the end, and it was Arsenal who really scored first, just 2 minutes after Paulista made a mistake.

Cazorla points the ball to Sanchez. The latter breaks through with the ball and moves across the middle to send a pass to Griezmann. The Frenchman blasts a long shot and is saved by Howard again.

Immediately Sanchez took a corner kick. No one hit the ball at the front point. The ball came to Giroud's feet at the back point. Although Stones was beside Giroud, he couldn't stop Giroud's shot because he was caught behind Giroud.

"1:0~~~Arsenal took the lead in scoring and shot, Howard could only watch the ball helplessly." Howard was still on the other side of the goal when Giroud shot, and it was too late to make a save.
