Chapter 31
Domestic golfers often joke:

"Football jokes are one stone, and Arsenal have all eight."

This fully demonstrates Arsenal's status in football in recent years.

Since deciding to build a new stadium in 2003, Wenger has started to save money and build a house. The team's signings have gradually become unable to do what they want. "The strongest man is already in the team", "Diaby's comeback is a strong "Aid", "Sell the captain every year", "7000 million transfer fee is stored in the bank to collect interest", "Arsenal's medical examination room is the largest maze in London", "Climbing the tree", "Bayern and Barcelona in five years and three years" etc. Like mushrooms springing up in endlessly.

Along with the tight financial situation, Arsenal's honor room is also withered. Except for the historic reach of the Champions League final in 2006, they have missed the league championship early in almost every season, and they can only occasionally mix in one. The FA Cup is a facade-this also led to the FA Cup being dubbed the "insulation cup".

With neither money nor achievements, it was naturally impossible to attract high-level players to join. This actually formed a vicious circle, which directly led to top players such as Henry, Cesc Fabregas, and Van Persie leaving the team.

Therefore, in the second half of the 2013-14 season, Arsenal was able to break out from the fierce confrontation between Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea and lead the league. Even senior gun fans were a little surprised!

But it is worth noting that, in fact, since entering 2014, Arsenal has been stable in the top three positions, leading the standings alternately with Manchester City.

Although no one ever thought Arsenal would have an impact on the title race this season, Wenger proved his tenacity and tenacity with an eight-round unbeaten record.

After returning to the top of the list, Wenger accepted an interview with the media, and his tone could not help revealing a hint of optimism:

"I don't think the championship is a matter of the three teams (Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool). The season is still very long, we will wait and see!"
-
Six days later, on February 6th, Arsenal proved their strength to the world at Anfield Stadium!

They just released their bold words and wanted to compete for the championship... In the blink of an eye, they lost 1-5 to Liverpool, who was short of major generals!
Red Army iron guard Skrtel became the most dazzling player in this game. He was still in the middle of no one under the defense of the two defenders of Arsenal - Koscielny and Mertesacker. In 10 minutes, there was a good show of scoring twice!
Wenger and his disciples were completely dumbfounded!

Before Arsenal could react, Sterling and Sturridge scrambled to pull out their bayonets, expanding the score to 20-4 within 0 minutes!

This was originally a strong dialogue between No. 4 and No. [-] in the league, but it turned into a tragedy where No. [-] slaughtered the leader!

The focus battle went straight from 20 minutes into garbage time!
The elated Rogers enjoyed the cheers of more than 4 fans in the audience, and he was in high spirits!
-
In the 25th round of the league, the fourth-ranked Liverpool strongly defeated the leader Arsenal, and the points climbed to 52 points.

Chelsea beat Newcastle United 3-0, and their points rose to 56 points. Arsenal, which surpassed 55 points, temporarily ranked first.

Manchester City unexpectedly tied with Norwich, with 54 points, falling to third place.

In the 26th round, relying on Gerrard's stoppage time penalty, Liverpool beat the bottom-ranked Fulham 3-2 in the away game, struggling to continue the winning streak, and the points climbed to 55 points.

Arsenal and Manchester United tied 0-0 with 56 points.

Manchester City was tied 2-2 by the "Black Cat" Sunderland, who was in the quagmire of relegation, with 55 points, tied with Liverpool.

Chelsea failed to close the gap and could only accept the ending of a 1-1 draw with West Brom. The points increased to 57 points and continued to lead.

In the 27th round, Chelsea beat Everton 1-0, leading with 60 points.

Arsenal bounced back and swept Sunderland 4-1 with 59 points.

Manchester City finally got rid of two consecutive draws and beat Stoke City 1-0 with 58 points.

Liverpool once again staged a stimulating battle, beating Swansea 4-3, also with 58 points.

……

The four teams competed fiercely around the league championship trophy. After entering the final 10 rounds, almost every point may change the ranking.

The huge pressure made Wenger, Mourinho, Pellegrini, Rodgers and other coaches feel on thin ice. They must carefully study the video of each game, carefully arrange each lineup and style of play, and ensure that the team wins. Every win.

Instead of feeling relaxed after a successful weekend, they feel even more stressed.

Because... the number of times they were allowed to make mistakes was one less! -
The first to fall behind was Arsenal.

They lost to Stoke City in the 28th round, and then were drawn by Swansea. They dropped 5 points in a row within two weeks and fell directly out of the championship group.

In these two rounds, Chelsea defeated Fulham and Tottenham 3-1 and 4-0 respectively, and still ranked first.

Manchester City also won two consecutive victories, swept their city rivals Manchester United 3-0, and Villa 4-0, and continued to pursue.

Not to be outdone, Liverpool beat Southampton 3-0 and Sunderland 2-1, still only 12 points behind No. [-].

In the 30th and 31st rounds, Manchester City and Liverpool won one after another. Although Chelsea unexpectedly lost to Aston Villa in the 30th round, they immediately kicked Arsenal out of the championship team with a 6-0!

Suarez, who returned from injury, also helped the team defeat Manchester United 3-0 in the "Double Red Club", leaving Old Trafford silent!
But... everyone underestimated Wenger and Arsenal.

When you think that Arsenal is nothing more than this, they have created a miracle!

In the 32nd round of the league, they successfully sniped Manchester City and stopped Manchester City's triumphant progress at the Emirates Stadium!
They used a 1-1 draw to add extra drama to the championship game!
Arsenal wasn't the biggest surprise, it was Crystal Palace.

The 17th-ranked Crystal Palace defeated Chelsea, which had led the seven rounds, 1-0 at home, proving one thing to the entire Premier League:
The Premier League title can be given to you, but the title of "King of London" will never be given up!

Chelsea and Manchester City, who were accidentally overturned, suddenly became supporters of Tottenham overnight. They all hoped that this young guard, also from London, could cause some trouble for Liverpool.

But they were disappointed. The rooster led by Pochettino was stripped of all their feathers by the "bird abuser" Liverpool three times and five times at Anfield! 4-0!

So far, Liverpool temporarily ranks first with 73 points, followed by Manchester City with 71 points, and Chelsea with 69 points. The three teams are still only 2 points away from each other!
This may be the most complicated season for the championship since the establishment of the Premier League!
This is the most enjoyable league in the world!

Take a look at Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue [-], Chinese Super League!

What's the point of these leagues, where the championship has already been determined by default?
All the fans around the world are holding their breath, looking forward to and enjoying how this wonderful and exciting drama of the Premier League will end!

The only person who was somewhat depressed was Lu Feng.

Suarez recovered with full blood after only two weeks of recuperation, while the Chinese teenager who sprained his ankle was pressed on the hospital bed by the team doctor for a full month and a half!
After he rejoined the team, the championship situation was in full swing. Every game was a decisive battle of life and death. Rodgers really didn't dare to use young people casually. He was only in the game when Liverpool swept Tottenham 4-0 Zhong got a few minutes of playing time, but because the whole team was holding steady, they didn't get any gains.

There is a saying in the football world that is often regarded as a wise saying:

"Offense wins fans, defense wins championships."

If a team wants to have the last laugh in the long league, it must have a strong defensive system.

Among the top three in the current championship, Liverpool's defense is the most unstable. Rogers really dare not put a young man with almost zero defensive ability in the regular lineup.

As for Lu Feng's offensive ability...

Come on, how can Liverpool, which has the Premier League's first striker Suarez, second striker Sturridge, first golden boy Sterling, and first penalty shooter Gerrard, need his offensive ability? !
Young people just sit on the bench!
