What should I do if I exploded directly?

Chapter 198 Advancement to the League Cup

On the weekend, in the 11th round of the Premier League, Arsenal played against Middlesbrough at home.

Jia Yi was suspended for one round and sat in the stands to watch the game.

Fabregas started the game and played Jia Yi's position.

The team continued to play on the ground, and the attacking group in the frontcourt had a good press conference. In less than 5 minutes, Henry received a pass from Fabregas and scored, breaking the deadlock.

And the Middlesbrough team did not let it go.

In the 19th minute, Mendieta, who suffered from injuries, sent a through ball to Viduka. Viduka passed the attacking Lehmann and sent the ball into the goal, 1:1!

A healthy Mendieta is still very threatening.

This pass is very lethal.

Jia Yi also feels sorry for Mendieta. If he does not go to Lazio, then his current value may not be low. After all, he brought Valencia back then to compete with Real Madrid and Bayern.

Unfortunately, there is no going back.

After the score was equalized, the Arsenal players did not mess up and continued to play steadily.

In the 39th minute, Henry made a curve ball from outside the penalty area, and the ball went into the back corner, 2:1!
This ball is also very tricky, making Highbury a sea of ​​joy.

Before halftime, it was still Henry. His breakthrough caused chaos in the opponent's penalty area. In the chaos, Woodgate kicked Henry to the ground and awarded a penalty!
Henry did it himself, and it was done overnight, 3:1!

In 45 minutes, Henry scored a hat-trick. This season, it seems that he is a strong contender for the top scorer.

In the second half, Middlesbrough counterattacked wildly.

Mendieta seems to have regained his peak form, using precise passing to create many opportunities for his teammates.

However, Viduka and Haselbaink missed a lot of opportunities, especially in the 60th minute, when Zenden received a pass from Mendieta and cut into the penalty area. Shot, the ball hit Lehmann's arms directly, so right!
Hasselbaink is also very regretful. He didn't score this goal. He seems to be old and it is difficult to return to his peak state.

Looking back, Henry sent a precise pass, and then Van Persie easily knocked into the empty goal, 4:1!

This gap in grasping opportunities is clear at a glance.

It was also the final score, with Arsenal beating Middlesbrough to keep the pressure on Chelsea and Manchester United.

These two teams also won one after another, a stable match.

Chelsea played very sophisticated, played West Brom away, scored four counterattacks and scored four goals, explaining what defensive counterattacks are.

Manchester United also used two counter-attack goals to bring down Portsmouth.

Instead, Liverpool was tied 2:2 by Blackburn, and the points have been tied by Arsenal.

Not surprisingly, one of the top four must be the champion of this season.

The media's attitude towards this is also the same, but it is still unclear who can have the appearance of a champion.

As for Jia Yi's suspension this round, there is no loss. The team wins, which is the best.

Without widening the point gap with Chelsea, there will be a lot of time to catch up.

On Monday, the third round of the League Cup started.

The Premier League teams participating in European competitions will only play in the third round. This is also to give the strong teams more rest time.

Otherwise, after one season, there will be even more matches.

In the third round of the match, Arsenal met Manchester City, who is also a Premier League team. The away trip is still quite suspenseful.

Manchester City has defeated Chelsea in the league, and their strength is not weak.

And Wenger also adopted a rotation. This time, Jia Yi brought a group of substitutes to challenge the opponent.

Jia Yi also wears the captain's armband. Now Arsenal's first captain is Vieira, Henry is the second captain, and Jia Yi is the third captain.

Since neither Vieira nor Henry played, the captain's armband will naturally be worn on Jia Yi's arm.

After the start of the game, Manchester City launched a fierce attack. It is impossible for them to win the league. Therefore, in the League Cup and FA Cup, it is estimated that it is still possible.

On Arsenal's side, Flamini has a large interception area in the backcourt and runs actively.

Toure and Julu are also very active in running. The two have been on the bench for a long time, and this time they also took a breath to vent.

In the first 10 minutes, neither side made any achievements and played relatively flatly.

In the 13th minute, Jia Yi received the ball in midfield, swung the opponent away to press, and sent a pick pass.

After Dong Fangzhuo used his speed to get rid of it, he knocked in horizontally. Veteran Bergkamp tapped lightly, 0:1!

With this cooperation, the kick was very smooth, and Bergkamp was also very relaxed in the final handling. His shooting art has always been very good.

Everyone's characteristics have been brought out, and this game will be easy to play.

Five minutes later, Jia Yi made another series of dazzling breakthroughs, which completely disrupted Manchester City's defense.

Bergkamp once again appeared in an unmarked position, Jia Yi pushed lightly, Bergkamp pushed and scored, 0:2!

The fans of the home team were a little downcast. The opponent still came off the bench. The gap was obvious.

It seems that it is not easy to be upset and enter the next round.

Jia Yi hit them too hard in the midfield, and they couldn't prevent them at all, letting him do whatever he wanted.

From this point of view, the effect seems to be the same for anyone.

Before half-time, Jia Yi's long-range shot caused the opponent's goalkeeper to throw the ball away. Dong Fangzhuo made a smart follow-up shot, 0:3!

This time, the opponent completely disarmed and surrendered.

Of course, the intensity of the League Cup is still relatively weak. Although there is a chance of such an upset, once the team falls behind by so much, it will be a dead end.

Arsenal's goal this season is to pursue all championships. Before the start of the season, they had already defeated Manchester United and won the Community Shield. However, Jia Yi did not participate at that time, so this championship is for Jia Yi. No idea, now that he is personally participating in the League Cup, he must win the championship in this event before he is willing to stop.

His physical condition is very good, and his body has returned to health. It is naturally easy to deal with a team like Manchester City.

In the second half, Jia Yi continued to play and firmly controlled the situation.

Manchester City didn't improve much either. A group of substitutes came up and Xia Jiba played.

In this way, their death is even worse.

To deal with this kind of Manchester City, Jia Yi has a lot of ways, and he is still playing very easily, just relying on passing the ball, he can tear the opponent to pieces.

With the attributes of full pass and control, Jia Yi can really control the game with ease.

In the 66th minute, Jia made a cross all the way and found Dong Fangzhuo accurately, and Dong Fangzhuo ejected and scored.

In the 76th minute, Jia Yi passed the ball to Reyes, who came off the bench, and the latter easily scored from the far corner of the penalty area.

This kind of easy scoring made Manchester City coach Pierce also look embarrassed, and he simply closed his eyes directly against the baffle.

Out of sight, out of mind, Pierce naturally couldn't stand it anymore.

On Wenger's side, Gilberto Silva also replaced Jia Yi. The outcome has been decided, and Jia Yi doesn't have to stay on the court anymore.

In the end, Arsenal scored 7 goals, swept Manchester City and entered the fourth round.

After the game, Wenger also highly praised Jia Yi's performance. He played with a substitute and won 7 goals against Manchester City, which fully proved his strength.

This gave Wenger great confidence. As long as Jia Yi plays well, he can have more lineups to cope with this season.

"We can support multi-line battles because Jia Yi is the cornerstone of the team. We used a lot of substitute players in this game, but we can still win easily. Now Arsenal is stronger than ever."

Wenger faced the reporters and talked with eloquence.

It is estimated that it is also because of the suspension of the league that he cannot play, so he has a lot to say about the Champions League and the League Cup.

Playing a twenty-five-stringed plucking instrument also requires capital, and Wenger undoubtedly has sufficient capital now.

Jia Yi is also somewhat satisfied with this.

"The League Cup has always been a hotbed of upsets, but we were not upset. Manchester City's strength is good. They are a team worthy of respect."

What Jia Yi said made the local media reporters feel a little embarrassed. After being kicked out by Arsenal so many times, is it still worthy of respect?
Originally, the League Cup and other strong teams also passed the test one after another.

Manchester United defeated Crewe by 3 goals in an away game, and it was also an easy pass.

Chelsea defeated the Hammers 1:0, and Mourinho also adopted a rotation system. Although the effect is mediocre, it is good to advance.

It seems that they don't want to give up on the battlefield of the League Cup.

In the fourth round, Arsenal will meet Everton, and Chelsea will also meet Newcastle. This is a more exciting matchup between the two groups.

At that time, Everton and Newcastle may still be able to cause a lot of trouble for these two teams.
