Chapter 111: Lao Liu or Lie Flat
Arsenal fans have deep feelings for the team and Lucky.
Especially for Lucky, they have seen all the changes since Lucky joined Arsenal.
After Lucky became the captain, Arsenal no longer suffered from "European war fatigue", and the situation of internal war and foreign war has changed.
Even in the European war, Arsenal is currently the best team among all Premier League teams.
This also makes Arsenal fans proud to say that the Emirates Stadium has the most exciting European war games.
And through Arsenal's excellent performance, the attention of Arsenal Club has also risen sharply in recent years.
Arsenal is a wealthy team, and they have no shortage of exposure, but since Arsenal won the Champions League, they have become a veritable wealthy team and have received more attention.
Many players who want to win the Champions League also regard Arsenal as a platform to realize their dreams, rather than a transitional place.
Similar to Hummels, Lukaku, Jimenez chose Arsenal because of this.
Now Arsenal is also firmly on the road to the championship.
Arsenal's public relations team is also the busiest, promoting all over the world. In the face of the increasing number of fan groups, they also need to manage to a certain extent.
Of course, they cannot manage it completely in person, so many regional management associations have been set up.
For many Arsenal fans, coming to the Emirates Stadium to watch a game is a "pilgrimage ceremony".
Recently, it is the peak tourist season, and many foreign fans will choose to visit the Emirates Stadium and the locker room.
On non-match days, the locker room of the stadium is not closed, but is provided to fans for visiting and charging tickets.
Of course, some surprise activities are occasionally prepared.
For example, let an Arsenal player show up and interact with these tourists to take photos, etc.
Lekai was also pulled over to be a strong man, and others are naturally needless to say.
But after entering the end of the season, such surprise activities have decreased.
Arsenal cannot spend energy on such things, and Mourinho does not allow such activities to occur.
The players are almost always in a straight line between two points every day, either at home or at the training ground.
Everyone is preparing for the next game.
Soon, Arsenal ushered in the 34th round of the Premier League, playing against Sunderland at home.
Sunderland has been confirmed to be relegated. The Black Cats' performance in the Premier League this season can be described as poor. The relegation 5 rounds in advance is unacceptable to the fans.
They finally returned to the Premier League, but now they will face the problem of relegation.
Because of the relegation, the environment and atmosphere of the entire team are in an extremely chaotic state.
The anger of the fans.
The confusion of the players and the turmoil of the management.
There is no doubt that Sunderland will have a big move after this season. After all, someone must be responsible for it.
And the first to bear the brunt is likely to be head coach Moyes.
Arsenal is still in fourth place in the Premier League standings with 69 points, firmly occupying the fourth place in the Premier League.
The so-called top four demons are not a joke.
The top five Premier League points are currently
1: Manchester City, 24-4-5, 76 points.
2: Chelsea, 24-2-7, 74 points.
3: Tottenham Hotspur, 22-8-3, 74 points.
4: Arsenal, 21-9-3, 69 points.
5: Liverpool, 19-8-6, 65 points.
The Premier League champion is still a mystery, whether it is Tottenham, Manchester City, or Chelsea, there is hope.
However, Manchester City is the most popular at present. Manchester City, led by Guardiola, began to exert its strength in the second half. After the pressure of the Champions League was removed, their performance in the league was getting better and better.
Manchester City was the first team to be eliminated from the Champions League. For this reason, they can better focus on the league and naturally gain a certain advantage in the battle for points.
Chelsea's recent state is a bit bad.
From the absolute leading position in the standings, it has fallen all the way, and it has been tied by Tottenham and overtaken by Manchester City. The next few games are also worrying.
Tottenham's state is very stable. Although there is no feeling of bursting, this stability may bring some variables to Tottenham.
Arsenal is currently the most difficult club.
They not only have to compete for the Champions League spot in the league, but also have to commit to the Europa League.
After defeating Manchester United and reaching the semi-finals, Arsenal entered the finals, which also made Arsenal unable to give up this league.
At least compared to the league, Arsenal has a greater advantage in the Europa League.
However, they dare not give up the Champions League qualification of the league. After all, no one can be sure that they will definitely win the Europa League championship and enter the Champions League.
For this reason, Arsenal is currently the most pressured team in the Premier League.
And facing this atmosphere, Arsenal ushered in the game against Sunderland.
As soon as the game started, Arsenal used a fierce counterattack and scored a goal in just 8 minutes.
Lukaku scored a volley to help Arsenal open the record.
"Lukaku! At the end of the season, his state is getting better and better. He is also ahead of Harry Kane and Kai in the scorer list, aiming directly at the Premier League Golden Boot!"
The camera is aimed at Lukaku.
The Belgian star put one hand on his chest and pointed to the stands with the other hand, looking like he was welcoming cheers.
Arsenal fans were also very respectful, with waves of applause and cheers, and Lukaku's face was full of a bright smile.
"This season is undoubtedly Lukaku's breakout period. Since he moved to Arsenal, his condition has been getting better day by day. We have reason to believe that after saying goodbye to Suarez, Arsenal has once again welcomed an efficient shooter."
"For Lukaku himself, he has also broken through himself. From a player who was abandoned again and again, he has grown into a team's offensive spearhead. This is an extremely rare achievement!"
"Whether Lukaku's condition can continue to this year's European Cup, we will wait and see!"
The European Cup will be held before the World Cup.
The 2017 European Cup will be held immediately after the end of this season.
And Belgium, where Lukaku is, has received huge attention.
Can Belgium, which has stars such as Lukaku, De Bruyne, Hazard, and Courtois, reproduce the power of the European Red Devils?
Belgium's ranking in the FIFA national team rankings has also improved a lot, and it even became a favorite to win the championship.
But under the tradition of internal strife in Belgium, whether they can play to their original strength is the key!
After Sunderland lost the ball, it was a bigger blow to them.
In the case of being relegated, teams like Sunderland often have two performances in the face of such a situation.
First: without pressure, the performance has improved, and the characteristics of the sixth in the league are fully revealed.
Second: lying flat on the spot!
Sunderland is obviously more inclined to the second one.
Since losing the ball, they have become confused.
No matter how the head coach Moyes on the sidelines shouted and roared, they seemed to be unable to wake up.
Each of their eyes was filled with confusion about the future and fear of the game.
For this reason, Arsenal scored again in the 30th minute.
Robertson took a corner kick and Hummels scored a header.
This is also Hummels' first goal since joining Arsenal.
This goal has almost determined the outcome of the game.
Seeing that the opponent had almost no fighting spirit, Mourinho also replaced Lucky to rest after the end of the first half.
In this game, Lucky did not perform well.
When his teammates played smoothly enough, Lucky would not take the initiative to participate in the attack.
And Sunderland could not attack, so Lucky defended with peace of mind.
After the start of the second half, Sunderland had a short period of crazy attack.
But soon Arsenal counterattacked and penetrated the goal again.
Lukaku scored twice.
Completely established the outcome of the game.
After this goal, Sunderland had completely lost any hope.
Their running became lazy, and the game state was even worse.
Facing such Sunderland, Arsenal also quickly made substitutions and continued to use substitutes to fight, allowing the main players to get rest time.
After 90 minutes of the game, there was no surprise, and Arsenal easily won the game.
This also allowed Arsenal to stabilize its ranking in the standings again.
However, Arsenal would rather the top four teams lose a game, so that their position will be more stable.
