Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 342 9 points

Arsenal's victory over Liverpool was something that all the media did not expect before the game. After all, Liverpool's recent record has been very impressive.

Especially the scene of this game is almost one-sided, but the media also know that this does not mean that Arsenal are so much stronger than Liverpool. The main reason is because of the international match day.

It is a very happy thing for Arsenal to beat Liverpool, but there is still a lot of regret in this big victory, that is, Chelsea also won the game a day later.

Although Chelsea worked very hard to win, winning is winning, and the three points are the most important thing. The scene is not important to Mourinho or Chelsea.

What's more, Chelsea won the make-up match two days later, which means that the difference between Arsenal and Chelsea has narrowed. Originally, there was a 12-point difference between the two teams, but after Chelsea won Leicester City, the difference between the two teams was only 9 points.

This is a very subtle point difference, one point difference can reach double digits, don't underestimate this point, the gap of one point is the gap between heaven and earth.

Now there are 7 rounds left in the league, and it only takes three rounds to close the 9-point gap, let alone a direct collision between Arsenal and Chelsea.

In the No.30 round of the league, Arsenal will welcome Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium. Not surprisingly, that game should also be the game that really determines the title of the Premier League champion this season.

Of course, before that league game comes, the league champion may also lose suspense in advance. For example, Chelsea has a losing streak or something. After all, there are still two rounds before the 34th round.

As for the upcoming second round of No.30, almost everyone does not think that Arsenal will lose. It should be that Arsenal will face Burnley, who is in the relegation zone, in this game.

Overturning this kind of thing may be possible for other teams. Although Burnley is currently in the relegation zone, it is not that they have overturned the top four. In the sixth round of No.20 in the league, Burnley once drew with Chelsea 1:1.

But for Arsenal, the chance of overturning is too small, because even if Arsenal fails to score in the frontcourt, Li Shou, the goalkeeper who maintains a 100% success rate of free kicks, is there.

And Arsenal has no make-up games to play, and there is enough time for the players to rest. In contrast, Chelsea needs to play a game against Leicester City first.

Therefore, it is still very difficult for Chelsea to win the second round of the No.30 game. In this round of the league, Chelsea are also facing a team in the relegation zone, Queens Park Rangers.

1:0, and it was scored at the last moment of the game. When the game was about to enter stoppage time, Hazard and Oscar hit the wall and tore apart the defense of Queens Park Rangers. In the end, Cesc Fabregas volleyed from the dead corner to complete the lore.

The end of the season is approaching, even the teams in the relegation zone will be desperate, because no team wants to be relegated, so as long as there is a chance to climb out of the relegation zone, then this team will definitely be desperate.

So Arsenal's game is actually not as simple as those people imagined. Even Arsenal and Chelsea encountered the same situation and won't score.

After the start of the game, Arsenal turned their backs. In the 7th minute, they ushered in an excellent opportunity. After Sanchez broke into the penalty area, he missed without anyone defending.

Arsenal made a comeback 5 minutes later, and it was Sanchez who missed the ball again almost in the same position when he was open.

Today, Sanchez didn't seem to be wearing shooting boots. None of the five shots in the first half were within the range of the goal frame. Other players did hit within the range of the goal frame, and most of them were sent directly into Heaton's arms.

Arsenal had a total of thirteen kicks in the first half, only three of which were within the range of the goal frame, and two of these three kicks were directly sent into the arms of Burnley goalkeeper Heaton.

So in this game, it is not only that Sanchez did not wear shooting boots, but that all Arsenal players did not have shooting boots. In addition to the problems of the Arsenal players, Burnley's defense is also doing well.

Wenger was not dissatisfied with the intermission. Arsenal had a great advantage in the first half, but the last kick was a bit horrible.

Sometimes the players can't be blamed for this situation. Normal people will have ups and downs in things like status. Well, Li Shou doesn't count, this guy should no longer be considered a normal person.

There is another reason why Wenger is not in a hurry, and that is the existence of Li Shou. After more than half of the season, not only Arsenal fans have a blind trust in Li Shou, but also Arsenal teammates are full of confidence in Li Shou, even Wenger is no exception.

However, this game does not require Li Shou to play, because Arsenal broke the deadlock not long after the start of the second half, with a long shot from Ramsey.

Sanchez once again broke through with the ball and then cut into the penalty area. This time, after attracting the defensive players, Sanchez passed back to the top of the arc outside the penalty area, and the ball arrived as well.

Sanchez's pass was just right. Ramsey didn't need to make any adjustments and took a long shot. The ball went straight to the dead corner of the goal. Burnley goalkeeper Heaton didn't even move this time.

After scoring the goal, Arsenal wanted to take advantage of this momentum to completely end the game, but the result was not satisfactory. Burnley actually took advantage of Arsenal's full-scale attack and played two waves of counterattacks.

These two counterattacks not only brought two yellow cards to Arsenal, but also two free kick opportunities. Originally, if Arsenal did not score a goal, they would consider creating free kick opportunities for Li Shou, but now they gave Burnley two consecutive free kick opportunities.

But this is a good thing for Li Shou, because Li Shou had no chance to perform in the whole first half. Burnley only had three poor shots in the first half, and two of them were still within the range of the goal frame. In other words, Li Shou made one save in the whole first half.

In the last match against Liverpool, Li Shou didn't have much chance to perform. Everyone thought it would be a fierce battle, but the result was almost one-sided.

So these two free kicks were opportunities for Burnley and also for Li Shou, and Li Shou also did what a goalkeeper would do, denying Burnley these two free kicks. These were also Burnley's most threatening two attacks in the second half.

After giving Burnley two chances, Arsenal began to retreat, trying to use the lead to force the Burnley players to attack and counterattack.

However, Burnley was able to calm down, and it didn't really start to be chaotic until 10 minutes later. Then Arsenal did play two good counterattacks, but in the end they still failed to expand their lead.

1:0 is also the final score of this game. Arsenal's victory has ensured the point difference with Chelsea and further put pressure on Chelsea.
