Chapter 466: Years are a pig-killing knife
Without a few core players, Arsenal in the second team appeared very passive on the court.They are even under the pressure of the visiting team Swansea City. The Spaniard Michu and England's local powerhouse bald Shelvey are the core of their midfield, and Drogba's fellow striker Bonny from Côte d'Ivoire is also in their team. Do my part as the head shooter.

The final score was [-]-[-] as Swansea City drew with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.In fact, it is a draw or to give Arsenal face, but the actual situation is that Arsenal saved a thrilling draw at home.

As soon as the game came up, Arsenal fell into a passive situation, and finally scored a goal by the opponent's striker Bonny in the No. 205 minute.This conceded goal came from Szczesny's attack error. His rash attack gave the Ivorian a chance. Of course, Michu, who passed the ball for him, also grasped the timing very well.

Swansea City, like many teams in the middle reaches of the Premier League, once it goes well, it will be completely let go.They started to take the initiative to attack, and this goal made them see the hope of taking all three points.

This kind of situation is very common in the Premier League. When you watch a Premier League game, if the weak team scores first to show off its momentum, it is difficult for you to distinguish from the situation on the ground who is the weak team and who is the strong team.For example, Swansea, fake fans who only look at jerseys may think they are Real Madrid.

This is also the brilliance of the Premier League. The so-called Premier League has no underdogs is not just talking!

So relying on their own "three axes", Swansea played like a duck to water in the away game.If it weren't for Flamini and Arteta who started the game as defensive midfielders, they might have scored the second goal if they found it.

Arsenal, who lacked a few major cores, played quite aggrieved at their home court, but there was no way to do it. Who told them that their bench was not thick enough.And until now it is still a third-line battle. For some necessary important events, they can only selectively give up in other less important events.

Some fans and experts said that Arsenal's performance is unwise, and they should voluntarily give up the Champions League, which is more competitive and least likely.Concentrate all your strength in the league, so that you may be able to win the long-awaited league championship and end the embarrassing fate of nine years without a championship.

Although every extra game in the Champions League will increase the bonus income and reputation, but for a team like Arsenal, there is really no need to give up one or two million for one or two games. This is a typical behavior of throwing away the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds.

Wenger did not adopt such suggestions from everyone, and did not even explain.Even the Arsenal players didn't know what he was thinking when he fell to the ground.

And this is also very important for Swansea. They are now ranked No.8 in the league standings, with the same points as No.7 Manchester United-this is the first time they have played three times in the league. After ten rounds, they can still rank next to Manchester United in the standings.
And they are six points behind No.5 and No.6 Everton and Tottenham. If they can take all three points against Arsenal in this game, they will work hard to grab points in the next seven rounds. , Not necessarily. They still have the qualifications to participate in the UEFA Cup next season.

Think about it and be a little excited!

Therefore, Swansea's desire to attack is very strong. Swansea, who had no desire this season, suddenly found a glimmer of hope to participate in the European war after scoring this goal.Although it is the second-tier Europa League Cup and Suguang is also very small, it is still worth fighting for!

Anyway, there is no loss. The other championships this season have nothing to do with Swansea, so they don't need to be distracted, and their international football quality is not high. No one is an indispensable core for their national team, so there is no need I am worried that I will not have the opportunity to play in the World Cup next year-in fact, the international players of a team like Swansea are just a bench and lineup supplement for the national team.
To sum up, Swansea is even harder than Arsenal!And Arsenal only ended a fierce battle last weekend, and this time is when they are physically and mentally exhausted.

From the beginning of the game, Arsenal fell into a passive situation. Facing Swansea's attack like waves, they didn't have much to do.

Li Zihan in the stands focused on the stadium, imagining in his mind what he should do if he was on the court at this time.

It's very simple, since they are such a high-profile offensive, then hit them with a quick counterattack from behind!Use speed to directly break through their defensive force that has reached the center line. In the end, even if you don't score a goal, you can still put some pressure on the opponent. At least two of the opponent's defensive players will get yellow cards!
It's just that he's not on the court at this time.

Not only him, Arsenal's speed players are not in the starting lineup.Li Zihan took a rest, Chamberlain was suspended with a red card, Cazorla was still injured, and Walcott may not appear on the court until next season.

However, Arsenal still has many advantages over Swansea, at least the experience is much better than the opponent.Rosicky, Arteta, Flamini and Modesat, which one is not experienced in many battles.And Swansea's core Bonny and Shelvey are both teenagers, so Michu's experience is not bad.

So Arsenal seemed thrilling on the scene, but so far they still haven't allowed Swansea to make another one.

As the first half drew to a close, Arsenal were awarded a corner.It was their second corner of the game so far, and Swansea have already won six.

Arteta took a corner kick, and the three high points of Mordsat, Podolski and Giroud attacked the opponent's defense in the penalty area, and Flamini was ready at any time before the penalty point in the penalty area. take off.

But Arteta's ball was handed over to Vermaelen at the front of the penalty area. The Gunners captain, who had been very aggrieved in the team this season, held the ball at the front of the penalty area to attract the opponent's players, and then suddenly took the ball. Sweep into the restricted area.

Flamini received the ball in the penalty area, and he didn't make any fake shots, and he didn't even make any extra moves.

The French midfielder directly made the ball out of the penalty area, but it was not given to Vermaelen but to the frontcourt veteran Rosicky.

Without saying a word, Rosicky raised his foot and hit the door directly.

The Swansea players, who were a little dazzled by Arsenal's three passes in front of the penalty area, hadn't reacted, and the ball had already flown into their goal.

In the No.403 minute of the game, Rosicky equalized the score for the team, one to one!

At this time, all the veterans are singing praises for Rosicky, saying that players like Rosicky still need to stand up at this moment.
Netizens said that Arsenal likes to score goals at the end of the game this season. Whether Li Zihan is there or not, Arsenal always likes to score at the end.

It's just that Arsenal's fans and players were not happy for long, and Swansea quickly overtook the score again.

After a 15-minute break in midfield, the two sides changed sides to fight again in the second half!
Swansea's state and determination are the same as before, and they caught Arsenal by surprise with a sharp attack from the very beginning!
In the end, relying on the core midfielder Shelvey's back shot, he gave the "White Swan" another lead!And it is still Swansea's Spanish core Michu who sent him the assist!
At this time, the media and commentators once again carried forward their unscrupulous spirit, and they were still singing praises for Rosicky and Flamini just now.Immediately switch the microphone and start touting Michu and Shelvey!

He even made fun of Shelvey, he was obviously a teenager in [-], but judging by his appearance, he looked like he was born in [-]
After touting and teasing Shelvey, they immediately pointed their finger at Flamini and Arteta.Said that the two are really old, although they have rich experience, they can bring some experience to this young Arsenal, both off and on the field.But their competitive status is indeed declining. Flamini can no longer run, and it is easy to be pierced by other speed players.And Arteta. His body is not good, his defensive ability is average, and he is 31 years old
This conceded goal was because the two did not defend the front of the penalty area well, so they gave Shelvey a chance to shoot, so they said that there is a reason for the two.

However, when I think that they were still singing praises for Flamini in the first half 7 minutes ago, saying that the Frenchman is not old, he can attack and retreat, and he is the backbone of Arsenal's midfield. They are singing now. Bad family.
Looking at these painful media, then the problem is coming! !On excavators. Well, no.In terms of no integrity and no lower limit ability, which one is stronger?
This goal was like a second boost to Swansea. The white swan turned into a giant eagle, and it was a crazy attack on Arsenal.

Arsenal once again returned to a subdued role, as they did in the first half.

The main task is to defend, and the secondary task is to attack and counterattack
Before the game, it was hard to imagine that Arsenal would be beaten like this by a mid-range team like Swansea. Although many of Arsenal's starting roster for this game were rotations and substitutes this season, before this season, these players were It is the main force of Arsenal's "Fight for Four", such as Arteta, Podolski, Giroud, Gibbs, Modesat and even Vermaelen. Who was not the main force of Arsenal's iron fight at that time?
But why is he being bullied so badly by Swansea now?

Looking at the performance of Arsenal, looking at the performance of the young core headed by Li Zihan, Ozil and Wilshere in the last game, looking at the performance of Arteta, Flamini and Rosicky in this game Netizens have to sigh: "Time is really a butcher's knife!!!"

In fact, Rosicky's performance is definitely not bad. After all, he still has a goal, no matter how bad it is, it won't be too bad. However, dragged down by Arsenal's overall downturn, his performance is also very average.
