Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 410 Two consecutive victories

Griezmann seems to be in good shape this season, scoring in two consecutive games, but this game is not over yet, and Griezmann has almost every chance of continuing to score in the next time.

However, Arsenal did not really expand their advantage in the first half, and after leading 2:0, Arsenal obviously slowed down their rhythm.

Not to mention that 2:0 has almost declared the outcome of the game. There is still a second half in this game. Players need to allocate their physical energy reasonably to ensure that the second half will not be exhausted due to excessive physical exertion.

Wenger was very satisfied with his performance in the first half, so he hardly said anything during the intermission. It can be said that the visiting team's locker room spent 15 minutes quietly. The players should replenish their physical strength.

In the second half of the game, there was no change in personnel between the two sides. After a 15-minute break, Crystal Palace seemed to have recovered from the 0:2 blow in the first half and launched an attack at the beginning.

It was still Zaha's breakthrough. This time Zaha chose to pass directly. Wickham leaped high in the penalty area to beat Koscielny's header and went slightly wide.

Wickham's body is better than Koscielny's, but the Frenchman is not a vegetarian. Although he didn't compete for the header, Wickham couldn't easily complete the goal.

Minutes later, Crystal Palace once again attacked Arsenal's hinterland. Coquelin wanted to steal, but he even dribbled the ball to the ground. The referee took out the first yellow card of the game.

Then Crystal Palace began to seize this point of Coquelin, trying to change Coquelin's two yellows into one red. Naturally, Wenger couldn't let them do so. In 8 minutes, Arsenal made the first substitution of the game, and Wilshere replaced Coquelin.

Coquelin's replacement will definitely weaken Arsenal's midfield defense, but Wilshere's appearance can also strengthen Arsenal's midfielder's ability to control the ball. When the opponent's strength is not as good as his own, enhancing ball control is actually a good way to consume time.

This was also proved later. Cazorla, Ramsey and Wilshere began to control the ball in the midfield. Coupled with the support of Sanchez and Griezmann, Arsenal began to wear down the patience of Crystal Palace.

After all, it is the Crystal Palace that is behind now, and it is the Crystal Palace that is really anxious. As time goes by, the players of the Crystal Palace will become more and more anxious, which will lead to their own problems.

In fact, the game was indeed like this. In the 73rd minute of the game, Chamberlain, who came off the bench for 1 minute, made a breakthrough from the wing and made a cross.

But in the end the ball rolled into the Crystal Palace goal, an own goal, Sanchez's header flew to the veteran Delany, and then the veteran made a clearance and sent the ball into his own goal.

McCarthy was stunned, because he never thought that Delany would send the ball into his own goal, because Delany was not close to the goal. Although Griezmann was rushing towards Delany, there was still a distance between the two.

So Delany had enough time to complete the clearance, but in the end Delany's clearance kicked crookedly, and it was ridiculously crooked, directly approaching his own gate.

"This~~~This~~~Arsenal is 3:0?" Paul Merson said in disbelief.

Although anything can happen in a football game, the goal in front of him is outrageous, but for Arsenal, even if it is outrageous, they immediately accept this result.

But the people of Crystal Palace couldn't accept it. The more radical fans couldn't help scolding Delany, and some people suspected that Delany took Arsenal's money.

In any case, it is an indisputable fact that the score became 0:3, and with Delany's own goal, the game completely lost suspense, and Crystal Palace also gave up hope.

For the next 20 minutes or so, the two sides played quite quietly. Arsenal did not think about continuing to expand the score. Although the league has just started, Arsenal will soon start a weekly double match mode. At this time, the players must try to avoid injuries.

Crystal Palace needs to focus on the next game. Although Crystal Palace ranked in the middle of the standings last season, the lineup has also been strengthened to a certain extent this season.

Even the stingy boss is willing to buy people for the team. This is fundamentally different from the Arsenal boss. Anyway, this boss has become the most hated person by Arsenal fans, and the fans have to curse a few words every day.

In the end, Arsenal won the game 3:0 with an own goal by Giroud, Griezmann and Crystal Palace themselves, ushering in the second consecutive victory in the new season.

In this victory, Li Shou performed very well in the first half, saving two very threatening shots from Crystal Palace in a row, but Li Shou was almost invisible in the second half of the second half.

However, based on calculations, Li Shou is still the contributor to Arsenal's victory in this game. If it hadn't been for Li Shou's continuous resolution of Crystal Palace's shots in the first half, the result of the game might have been completely different.

After winning the game, Wenger gave the players another day off. The third round of the league is still a week later, and Arsenal can deal with it calmly. No, it should be said that before the arrival of September, Arsenal players can get a holiday.

The UEFA Champions League group draw for this season will be at the end of August. Li Shou and Wenger will definitely be there. Arsenal was the champion of the UEFA Champions League last season. Not surprisingly, Wenger should be the best coach, and Li Shou is the biggest contributor to Arsenal's championship last season.

Without Li Shou, there must be no championship last season, so Li Shou is competing for the best player. With his performance last season, Li Shou has become the most popular player in the Golden Ball, and the best player in Europe is also the most popular.

As for the goalkeeper of the best team, that is almost a certainty. As far as last season is concerned, which goalkeeper can be compared with Li Shou?

Therefore, the biggest suspense in the UEFA Champions League group draw and awards should be the best player. After all, it is Ronaldo and Messi who are competing with Li Shou. Although they were defeated by Li Shou last season, they have ruled European football together for so many years.

With the end of the UEFA Champions League group stage draw, the group stage match is just beginning. In addition, there is also the English League Cup in the Premier League.

After winning the FA Cup last season, the English League Cup has become a small goal for Arsenal this season, because Arsenal currently lacks a League Cup champion.

If Li Shou really leaves Arsenal at the end of this season, then the League Cup must be won, but Li Shou should not have any chance to play in the first few rounds of the League Cup.
