Chapter 636: Arsenal of Waterloo

When the Chinese team takes the lead, everything is not a problem. The current Chinese team is no longer the original Chinese team.

The final score was [-]-[-]. The Chinese team calmly scored the second goal after the opponent pressed the attack. This time it was the new Evergrande forward Gao Lin who scored the goal. This is a match between Wu Lei and Wang Shangyuan. Cooperate with the three people between him.

Although Li Zihan did not directly participate in the goal, but Li Zihan's personal advance took away many defensive players of the Uzbekistan team, so Gao Lin had more chances.

The Chinese team won the second victory as they wished. Now that the two games are over, the Chinese team scored six points, which can be said to have taken the initiative to qualify for the group stage.

On the other side, the strong Saudi team, which lost to the Chinese team in the first round, also revived. They bloodbathed the North Korean team with a score of four to one.In this way, the North Korean team, which lost both games, is doomed to be out early, and the Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia teams will have the final coaching. At this time, the two sides will depend on their own strength.

Basically, whoever wins will qualify. If there is a tie, the two teams will compare the goal difference.So the Chinese team has now been killed out of this group one round ahead of schedule.

As for the North Korean team, although they are eliminated, they still have a chance to win the Asian Cup. After all, they once advertised in China that they defeated the Chinese team, South Korean team and the host Brazil team last summer, and finally won the World Cup.
Getting out of the group stage ahead of schedule was almost a national jubilation in China. In the last Asian Cup, the failure to qualify for the group stage dealt a huge blow to Chinese football. Then there was the fact that last summer’s World Cup was in full swing without China.
After leading the Chinese team to advance from the group stage, Li Zihan finally had the time and energy to pay attention to the club's games.

It is now the middle of January, and it has been almost 20 days since Li Zihan left Arsenal.

When Li Zihan just left Arsenal, the team's results and performance were not bad. They respectively defeated the newly promoted Queen's Park Rangers [-]-[-], and then defeated their city rivals West Ham, also known as the Hammer Gang, [-]-[-]. m.

It seems that Li Zihan's departure did not affect Arsenal, and after Li Zihan left, Sanchez and Ozil carried the banner of the team.

But Li Zihan's position in Arsenal is now irreplaceable. In the No. 20 round of the Premier League on the first day of the new year on January [-], Arsenal encountered Waterloo.

They lost [-]-[-] away to Southampton, the Saints who were in the limelight during this period. The Saints led by Koeman completed their first victory against Arsenal.In the previous FA Cup, Koeman's Southampton was beaten by Arsenal helplessly, but in this league, the roles were reversed all of a sudden.

With the victory of this game, Southampton got No.5 in an instant from the previous No.4.

Although Chelsea and other teams also won the game, Arsenal's lead was too great before, so they haven't caught up for a while.

In the No.20 round of the league, Arsenal played against the Sky City Stoke City at home.Due to the loss in the last game, Wenger gave the team an order to win this game, and it was still the entire main lineup.

But misfortunes never come singly. In the end, Arsenal lost [-]-[-] at home to Stoke City, who desperately needed points to avoid relegation.
Arsenal ushered in a two-game losing streak in an instant. The key is that Arsenal has not lost so far this season, but at the beginning of the new year, they suffered a two-game losing streak.

At this time, everyone can see that Li Zihan's departure has had a serious impact on Arsenal. This is no longer a matter of competition, but a matter of spiritual confidence and belief.

Although the league was not going well, Arsenal made great strides in the FA Cup. They had already defeated Nottingham Forest by a big score and advanced to the next round.

The poor British Championship team Nottingham Forest has just become Arsenal's punching bag. They also have a great history and culture and pride.

Li Zihan called on his golfers to work harder and not to slack off through the Internet at this time, and also called on the fans to stand firmly on the team's side at this time.

Perhaps Li Zihan's encouragement had an effect.

On January 20, the Premier League's No.[-] faced Manchester City, the second-ranked team in the league.Everyone is not optimistic about Arsenal, but this time Arsenal is very competitive.

They beat Manchester City [-]-[-], a result that surprised everyone.

Could it be that Li Zihan's encouragement really worked?

It's just that the Chelsea people are the happiest. Because Manchester City lost this time, they won the Magpies Newcastle United, so they surpassed Manchester City in points and became No.2 in the new league, and started to launch against Arsenal. charged.

Poor Newcastle United, just got better in December last year. The team no longer has the trouble of relegation, and the ranking has come to ninth place, but the head coach Alan Pardue announced his resignation and changed jobs. Crystal Palace in trouble
Then the morale of the Magpies plummeted, leading to a three-game losing streak
Li Zihan felt relieved to prepare for the last group match after watching Arsenal beat rival Manchester City.

The opponent in this group match is the old rival of the Chinese team, North Korea. North Korea is not a team that is easy to deal with. Fortunately, the result of this game will not hinder the decision of the Chinese team to qualify.

Unless the Chinese team loses by a big score, and one of Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan wins by a big score, they will take away the first place in the group from the Chinese team.

In this game, the squadron only needs a tie to win the first place in the group, but even so, the head coach Perrin said that China will still not deliberately let the water go, and will go all out in this game.

It's just that Peilan has made adjustments in the starting camp. Wu Lei, Wang Shangyuan, Zheng Zhi, Wang Dalei and Zhang Linpeng have the opportunity to take a rest in rotation.

Although the lineup has changed a lot, Li Zihan and Gao Lin are still retained in the starting lineup. Such a lineup is enough, the key is that Li Zihan is on top.
The final result was that the Chinese team defeated the North Korean team [-]-[-]. This result also made China happy and encouraged.Because in the history of the race, the Chinese team has never won against the North Korean team, and the best result is a tie.

The key is that the Chinese team has achieved a record-breaking group victory this time, which almost everyone did not expect.
