Chapter 298 Advancing to the Champions League Finals

After defeating Fulham [-]-[-], Arsenal won both league games, with six points in the league. Because the goal difference was five and they didn't concede a goal, they temporarily ranked first in the standings.

This is nothing unusual for Arsenal. Over the past few years, Arsenal have often driven high and low, and often fell behind from the middle of the league, and never climbed up in the late stage.

Therefore, although the current situation of the team is gratifying, everyone in the team did not act too excitedly.

The next game is the second round of the European Champions Cup qualifying match, which will be held four days later, and the opponent is naturally Fenerbahce.

Since Arsenal had a [-]-[-] away score in the first round and had a huge advantage, Wenger naturally had a well-thought-out plan for the second game.

He adopted the rotation system again, rotating some of the main players to restore their form, and arranged some substitutes to start, which not only exercises the team but also cultivates the tacit understanding among the team members.

Of course, what is cultivated is the tacit understanding between the players and Zhang Xu. As for Zhang Xu, he does not need to be cultivated at all, because he has been in the virtual training mode and has cooperated with his teammates for more than two years, and there is no problem of cooperation at all.

At this time, Wenger had to lament Zhang Xu's abnormal physical fitness. He had played six games in a row, and Zhang Xu didn't show any signs of fatigue.After the club's sports medicine experts gave Zhang Xu a physical examination, they came to a conclusion that stunned Wenger: This kid's body is so strong that he doesn't look like a person at all, but an interstellar monster!Physical fitness?Are you joking?When have you ever seen a star monster lack stamina?Even if he is tossed for another two seasons, he may still be alive and well!
After Wenger was stunned, there was a burst of ecstasy immediately!
He couldn't help being excited, what does a team core like a perpetual motion machine mean?It means that the team will never lack a strong heart!There will be no shortage at any time!

In this way, the team will maintain a relatively stable state, and there will be no chaos of frequent formation changes and constant tactical adjustments.

And this is especially important for Arsenal, because a stable formation and tactics can allow Arsenal to successfully survive the most difficult middle and late stages of the league and lay a solid foundation for winning the league championship.

Of course, there are champions in other competitions, and Arsenal will also actively participate in the competition, and will no longer have to give up some competitions because the team's bench depth is not enough and the team's players are exhausted.

And now, the first thing Arsenal needs to fight for is to successfully break into the finals of the European Champions Cup!

At 2013:8 pm on August 27, 45, the second round of Arsenal's match against Fenerbahce officially began.

From the first minute of the game, Zhang Xu led the team to launch a fierce attack on Fenerbahce!

Why do you do this?Zhang Xu has his own considerations.

By establishing the score advantage as soon as possible, the team can calmly switch players to play in turns. Wenger can choose calmly whether it is to restore form or conserve energy.

He is no longer an ordinary player. He is already the new captain of Arsenal. What needs to be considered is not only how to lead the team to win the game, but also many issues that have nothing to do with the game.

But now, he just wants to make the team stronger!
Under the leadership of Zhang Xu, Arsenal's offensive was very fast. In the opening 5 minutes, three threatening shots were formed. If the opponent's goalkeeper hadn't played bravely today, the score would have been rewritten long ago.

However, no matter how brave the opponent's goalkeeper plays, it will not change the situation where the team is completely at a disadvantage.

In the 7th minute of the game, after Zhang Xu got the football near the center line, he immediately ran forward.

Seeing Zhang Xu break through with the ball, Fenerbahçe immediately arranged for three players to attack back and forth.As for Zhang Xu, they had a thorough understanding of him. They couldn't help being sloppy about the guy who could help the team beat him with a score of [-]-[-] in his hell-level home court.

Faced with the opponent's stalking, Zhang Xu was not flustered. He had a wealth of experience in this, so he directly poked the football with his toe to the foot of Cazorla on the right side, and he completely exploded with his 99-point speed, directly passed the opponent's two players, and came to the next position to catch the ball.

Naturally, the football was passed in due course.

Now, Zhang Xu has established a certain WeChat account at Arsenal, and most players basically obey Zhang Xu's words.

And this happened not because Zhang Xu served as the captain of the team, but because Zhang Xu showed an unparalleled midfield organization ability in the previous games, and also possessed strong defensive and offensive abilities!

Such an all-round captain and core, such a teammate who can always bring victory to the team, even if the opponent is only 22 years old, the teammates still give Zhang Xu a high degree of trust.

After Zhang Xu got the football, he did not continue to break through with the ball as the Fenerbahçe players and coaches had imagined. Instead, he made a beautiful arc and sent the football directly to Podolski, the lighthouse in front.

The pass was so precise that the football flew right over the jumping head of Fenerbahce's centre-back and landed comfortably on Podolski's head!

Podolski didn't even have to take off, he just stuck his head forward and the football hit his forehead and bounced off the flying goal.

Fenerbahce's goalkeeper finally did not perform magic again this time, the football hit the goal line, and then bounced and flew into the goal!
1: 0!

Although leading by one goal, Zhang Xu is not satisfied. In his opinion, this is not a very safe score, even if the total score has reached 4:0.

Still need to score a goal!Zhang Xu said to himself silently.

Therefore, he took advantage of the opportunity when the opponent's morale fell, and launched another lightning-fast attack.

Fenerbahce's striker just kicked the ball out and passed it back to the attacking midfielder behind.

Fenerbahçe's front midfielder lazily took the ball and turned around, and was about to pass the football back to the team's midfielder, but at this moment he heard a loud reminder from his teammates: "Oh, my God!"

"Damn it, when did he come here? Be careful!"

"Damn it, be careful behind you! Be careful of that Chinese Zhang behind you!"

When Fenerbahçe was screaming, the front midfielder immediately felt a powerful force coming from his feet, and directly knocked out the football under his feet, and then a gust of wind blew by, and a red figure passed by his side, like lightning, straight into the back of the team.

This figure is naturally our Zhang Xu. As early as the moment the opponent kicked off the ball, he directly raised his speed to the highest.

When the football rolled to the feet of Fenerbahce's midfielder, he had already crossed the center line and rushed towards Fenerbahce's midfielder who was holding the ball viciously.

As a result, the other party really noticed Zhang Xu's movements, and when he lazily turned around, Zhang Xu was already within three meters of his body.

And just when his teammates reminded him, Zhang Xu directly stretched out his right foot, poked the back of the football with his toe, and then quickly took two quick steps to control the football.

The other Fenerbahçe players, especially those in the midfield, were all shocked when they saw that Zhang Xu broke the football from his teammates so easily. Immediately, two players rushed towards Zhang Xu, and the other defense players also compressed their formations to prevent Zhang Xu from breaking down one by one.

With a push with his right foot, Zhang Xu passed the football past the two rushing players, and then directly activated the "Quick Horse Whip" skill, passing the two Fenerbahçe players like a ghost and catching up with the football.

At this time, he has come to less than forty yards away from the goal!It can be regarded as Zhang Xu's long-range range.

However, it was the first time for Zhang Xu to shoot from such a distance. He was really not sure, but what if he was not sure?Long shot is never a sure thing!Moreover, he really doesn't have any teammates for him to choose to pass and play with, because the teammates closest to him are all about five meters behind Zhang Xu.

So, without the slightest hesitation, he directly swung his thick thigh, and in the eyes of countless fans, he slammed the back of the football fiercely!

"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and the football flew directly to the upper right corner of the goal quickly and steadily like a fired shell!
For this kind of long shot, Fenerbahce's goalkeeper is still very experienced in saving. He moved two steps to the right side of the goal in a row, then jumped up quickly, stretched his arms and rushed towards the flying football.

He has enough confidence to save the football!
It's just that he didn't expect that Zhang Xu's shot would be so powerful!

The football was indeed thrown by him, but it did not change the flight trajectory of the football. The football only changed its direction a little bit, and it still plunged towards the upper right corner of the goal!Hit the net into pieces of waves!
The ball went in! 2:0!

Zhang Xu himself was also very satisfied with this goal. He waved his fist and slammed it twice in the air!

The Arsenal fans at the scene were even more excited. They screamed and shouted in the stands one after another, expressing their inner excitement and excitement.

Even Wenger felt a little silly. How could he have imagined that Zhang Xu's long shot was so amazing!

However, he was more excited and proud, proud of his ability to recognize the pearl with his eyesight, and snatched Zhang Xu to the Emirates Stadium first!
After two to zero, the game lost suspense.

Wenger began to change personnel in a planned way.

In the last game, Arsenal scored another [-]-[-], and Podolski assisted Walcott to score the next goal.

Arsenal advanced to the European Champions Cup finals with a score of [-]-[-] on aggregate!
