Chapter 88 Danger! BOOM!

On November 1, Arsenal defeated Burnley 3-0 at home.

In this game, Arsenal once again showed their unparalleled control of the game.

Throughout the game, Burnley failed to get any effective offensive opportunities, and the number of shots was very few.

The whole game was in a state of suppression.

Arsenal scored two goals in the first half, and in the second half, after Arsenal's offensive substitutions, Burnley also tried to take advantage of Arsenal's new players who were not familiar with the rhythm and play a sneak attack tactic.

But the facts show that it is already difficult to break through Arsenal's midfield, let alone enter the penalty area and even score.

Throughout the game, Lekai's performance was still somewhat mediocre.

Compared with Lekai's crazy performance in a single game last season, Lekai seems to be invisible after entering this season.

But some professionals said that this is the most ideal state for Arsenal.

As a defensive midfielder, all Lekai needs to do is pass the ball steadily.

When the defensive midfielder becomes conspicuous, it means that the team is facing an extremely dangerous situation, and the opponent is constantly trying to attack.

And when the defensive midfielder scores a goal, the problem is even more serious!

What are the forwards doing?

Why do you want the defensive midfielder to score a goal!

So, the current state of Arsenal is the best.

The forwards score goals, the back line is tough, and the midfield is mainly to stabilize the rhythm of the game.

Although Lucky's performance is not very eye-catching, Lucky's existence is still the key to maintaining and operating this Arsenal.

The reason why this Arsenal can play like this is because of Lucky's existence.

The support given to the team by the core players of the system is often extremely hidden.

When he exists, you can't find him.

But when he leaves, the departure of this system core is extremely obvious.

This is a bit like Liverpool's Xabi Alonso.

After the departure of this system core, Liverpool almost fell into a slump.

And Lucky is even more important to Arsenal.

After easily defeating Burnley, Arsenal ushered in the home battle in the fourth round of the Champions League.

Anderlecht challenges Arsenal away!

Anderlecht received the most intense booing at the Emirates Stadium.

Especially the little guy Tielemans, who was booed by Arsenal fans as soon as he came on the court.

Arsenal fans are angry.

Tielemans' provocation to Luka is an insult to Luka in their eyes!

What's so great about playing in the Champions League at the age of 16?

There are a lot of such players in Arsenal!

Besides, have you played well?

In terms of fame or strength, Tielemans is far behind Luka, so what can he compare with him?

This kind of self-defeating behavior makes Arsenal feel disgusted.

This provocation is fundamentally an insult.

But Arsenal is also very competitive, and Anderlecht has been clearly arranged at home and away.

In this round of games, Arsenal did not control it and launched an attack from the beginning of the game.

Arsenal playing at home is terrifying.

Anderlecht simply couldn't stand up to Arsenal's crazy attack.

Before the end of the first half, they were scored 3 goals by Arsenal, with Suarez, Sanchez and Cazorla scoring respectively.

This also made Anderlecht basically lose the hope of advancing.

After entering the second half, Arsenal scored again in the 69th minute.

This goal was scored by Lekai himself.

A long shot from the arc near the penalty area line, directly hitting the dead corner.

After scoring, Lekai was replaced by Wenger.

And Arsenal also relaxed their offensive pace a little. After winning this game, Arsenal has won the ticket to the Champions League finals with 4 rounds of victories.

The game ended soon!

When the Anderlecht players left the field, many people noticed that Tielemans was wiping tears.

The elimination of the Champions League and the frustration of confidence in these two games were a big blow to this young player.

It is not undesirable to be young and frivolous, but there must be corresponding strength to support it, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

In an interview, Lucky also answered this question directly.

"I welcome all challenges. Young people should always have some sharpness, but don't use this emotion in the wrong place, it's easy to get hurt!"

"Tillemans has good ability. Even if he has provoked me, I still think so. This is a fact! But he is still a certain distance away from the top league. Play more games and accumulate more experience. He is only 16 years old and he still has a future!"

Lucky's words made many people admire him.

After all, few people can say such words after being provoked.

But this also indirectly proves that Lucky is broad-minded, or for Lucky himself, Tillemans is not worth his belittlement.

After the fourth round of the Champions League, Arsenal's overall morale rose again.

They felt that any opponent could be defeated.

But soon, they encountered an embarrassing thing.

In the 11th round of the Premier League, Swansea played against Arsenal at home.

At the beginning of the game, Arsenal still showed a strong desire to attack, but their shots were saved by Swansea's goalkeeper again and again.

After leaving Arsenal, Fabrianski joined Swansea, and now he seems to be leading Swansea to overthrow Arsenal.

Of course, Arsenal players disagreed with this.

It was not until the 32nd minute that Di Maria and Montero had a fierce conflict. After a shove, Di Maria took advantage of the referee's inattention, lay on the ground, and stepped on Montero, but this scene was seen by the linesman.

This action was severely punished and Di Maria was sent off with a red card.

At this moment, both Arsenal players and Di Maria were stunned.

The red card surprised them. They tried to persuade the referee to withdraw the penalty, but they were not 'Alisson' and did not have that kind of negotiation skills, and ultimately failed to save it.

In the first half, Arsenal had to fight one less player.

This situation was very unfavorable for them.

The most frustrating thing was that Swansea took this opportunity to play a wave of fairy ball attacks.

Three consecutive volley passes from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and finally Bony looked at Navas who took the initiative in the penalty area and gently hit the ball with his head. The ball flew over Navas' head and into the goal.

Arsenal fell behind in the first half!

This situation surprised everyone, after all, they never thought that Arsenal would have frequent problems when facing Swansea.

But football is like this, full of surprises.

After losing the ball, Arsenal was anxious, they wanted to quickly equalize the score.

But Fabianski's state was simply off the charts, high and low, rejecting Arsenal's shots again and again.

Even Cazorla's long-range shot in the dead corner was saved by Fabianski.

Seeing this scene, Wenger wanted to buy this guy back.

Arsenal had to admit the fact that they were behind.

After the second half, Swansea directly set up an iron bucket formation.

Began to defend Arsenal strictly.

That posture was to keep the lead of this goal.

Arsenal was attacking frantically throughout the second half, but they were too restricted by one less player.

If they were aggressive, Swansea would also have a chance to counterattack.

In this predicament, Arsenal eventually lost the game!

This is also their first defeat this season!

After the game, Di Maria seemed to blame himself. He knew very well that he had ruined the game because of his own problems.

Fortunately, Wenger did not blame him too much. Although his teammates were in a low mood, they did not complain about him.

However, he could still feel that his teammates were dissatisfied with his kick.

'Control your emotions in the future.'

Di Maria was silent in his heart.

The consequence of not being able to control your emotions is that you will not only lose the game, but you may also be questioned.

That evening, the British media were all in an uproar.

Arsenal lost!

Arsenal lost to Swansea!

Arsenal was upset!

This news excited the media. Everyone was advocating that Arsenal was suddenly upset at this time.

This caused great turmoil.

Arsenal is worthy of being Arsenal. Are they going to show the kind of collapse in the middle of the season again?

For this reason, the London Sports Daily even used a picture as a metaphor.

A cannon was placed in a trench, with black smoke coming out of the muzzle and a faint red glow coming from the barrel.

There was a warning sign next to it!

‘Danger! BOOM!’
