Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 332 League suspense

"Walcott~~~pass~~~ Giroud missed the shot from a small angle." Walcott's recovery from injury has given Arsenal a lot of room for winger rotation.

Arsenal's lineup is actually worse than imagined. Not to mention that there were only two central defenders before, and there were only two and a half wingers when Walcott was not injured. Chamberlain can play wide, but this young player can only be counted as half.

Then there is the striker. Giroud's injury left Arsenal without a striker, and finally had to buy Welbeck from Manchester United. Although Welbeck's performance was average, he did help Arsenal through the most difficult period.

However, it is precisely because of this that it seems that Arsenal's current achievements are rare, and it shows Li Shou's importance to Arsenal.

On the field, Arsenal quickly scored into West Ham United's half again. Arsenal, who were playing at home, firmly controlled the ball from the beginning of the game and frequently threatened West Ham United's goals.

No. 18 minutes, Arsenal almost scored, Sanchez made a pass from the wing, Giroud headed to the back point, Walcott flew and hit the goal post and hit the goalkeeper's arm before popping out into the small penalty area to be cleared.

Although the goal was not scored in the end, it scared West Ham United half to death, and West Ham United's good luck seemed to have run out on this goal.

No. 204 minutes, it was still Sanchez on the left, but this time Sanchez did not go to the bottom but chose to cut across the middle, and then passed the ball to Cazorla after attracting the defensive player, who sent a pick pass.

This kick pass is actually not very threatening, and Giroud's header did not reach the strength under the interference of the defensive players, but in fact Giroud's goal finally flew into West Ham United's goal.

West Ham United goalkeeper Adrian did not make a save at the first time, thinking that in Adrian's view, the ball finally rolled out of the bottom line, but in fact the ball finally hit the goal post and bounced into West Ham United's penalty area.

But Giroud was stunned when the ball bounced into West Ham's penalty area, West Ham was stunned, and even the entire Emirates Stadium fell into silence for a short time.

But this silence was only temporary, followed by cheers like a tsunami. No matter how the ball was scored, as long as the ball was scored, it would be a good thing for Arsenal.

The league has come to 29 rounds, which means that there are less than ten rounds left in the league, and as long as Arsenal can maintain their winning percentage, then Arsenal will be getting closer and closer to the championship.

After scoring the goal, Arsenal's morale was so strong that it almost overwhelmed West Ham United, and Arsenal soon expanded the score.

Walcott made a cross from the wing, and Giroud competed for the header, but this time Giroud did not head the ball, but knocked the header back, and Cazorla told him to insert into the penalty area.

The chest stopped the ball, volleyed the ball, and the ball went straight to the dead corner of West Ham United's goal. Facing Cazorla's shot, Adrian could only watch the ball cross the goal line.

"Familiar rhythm, is Arsenal going to win this game with a 2:0 again" Arsenal have too many 2:0s this season.

And the next thing seems to prove that although Arsenal still firmly occupies the initiative, they just failed to expand their lead, and even had a shot against an empty goal before the end of the first half.

"Could it be that Arsenal is cursed by something?" No wonder Andy Gray would say such a thing.

2:0 is enough for Arsenal to win the game, so Wenger directly used two substitutions at halftime, Welbeck replaced Giroud who scored the goal, and Chamberlain replaced Sanchez.

Perhaps Wenger himself did not expect that his two substitutions finally helped to expand his advantage. In the 606th minute of the second half, Chamberlain and Welbeck's continuous wall-to-wall cooperation tore apart West Ham's defense and created a completely open goal for Flamini from behind.

Seeing that Flamini's position was completely empty, Chamberlain passed the ball decisively. In fact, Chamberlain's position can also shoot, so Chamberlain's pass can be said to be quite selfless.

And Flamini did not disappoint Chamberlain's selflessness, he shot immediately after receiving the pass, the ball went straight to the dead corner again, and Adrian became the saddest player in the game.

Compared with Adrian's sad reminder, Li Shou on the other side seemed to be doing nothing, because West Ham United didn't even have a decent attack after more than 60 minutes of the game, so Li Shou could be said to be soy sauce in the true sense of the game, and this situation continued until the end of the game.

In fact, it is the best thing for the team that Li Shou has no chance to perform, because it means that the opponent has not played any threatening offense, so there is no need to worry about being scored.

Taking all three points Arsenal is one step closer to the league title, but the real joy for Arsenal came the next day after the match between Chelsea and Southampton.

Southampton is definitely the strongest shit-stirring stick this season, and it is also a shit-stirring stick specifically for Chelsea. Chelsea stumbled on Southampton in both rounds this season.

The first round was 1:1, and this draw also allowed Arsenal to overtake Chelsea in the standings. Now the score in the second round is still 1:1, and this draw has extended Arsenal's lead to 12 points.

There is a 9-point difference in the 12 rounds of the league. Although one of the games is postponed, Arsenal still has a 10-point advantage. Besides, given the pressure Arsenal is currently putting on Chelsea, Chelsea may not necessarily be the opponent in the next make-up match.

"The championship is within reach for Arsenal" After Chelsea was once again tied by Southampton, almost the entire English media said that the Premier League championship this season has lost its suspense.

With 9 rounds left in the league, it is not that Chelsea has no chance. After all, the 12-point gap can be wiped out with four victories, but there is a major premise, that is, Arsenal will lose at least 4 games in the next game.

But this is almost impossible, because so far, Arsenal has only lost one game, and that lost game is fundamentally different from the current Arsenal.

The English media felt that there is no suspense about the league title this season, but this is just wishful thinking of the media. Mourinho is not a person who admits defeat easily, and Wenger is not an arrogant person.

Wenger himself knows the situation of Arsenal best, and it has been ten years since Arsenal won the championship last time.

Besides, Li Shou's outstanding performance gave Wenger great ambitions. After the match with West Ham United, Arsenal's attention has shifted to the upcoming second round of the Champions League knockout round.
