Chapter 340
At present, Arsenal's league points have reached 81 points, far ahead of other Premier League giants.

However, because of the recent three draws, the gap in points is slowly narrowing. Now Chelsea, which is ranked second, has reached 68 points, which is 13 points away from Arsenal.

If Arsenal continue to be tied or lost by their opponents in the following leagues, then this gap will continue to narrow.

But will Wenger let that happen?What will Zhang Xu do?

Now, the major media in England no longer continue to tout Arsenal. Although Arsenal has won the first championship trophy, the three draws in the league have made the media speculate whether Arsenal is weak in succession.

"Three league games, three draws, Arsenal are exhausted? "

"Arsenal still can't get rid of the problem of weak follow-up in the end! "

"Arsenal's three draws, the magical Chinese Zhang encounters the biggest challenge! "

2014年3月16日下午四点整，2013/14赛季英格兰足球超级联赛第30轮一场焦点战在白鹿巷球场展开争夺，阿森纳客场挑战托特纳姆热刺。

阿森纳近5次联赛作客白鹿巷2平3负未尝胜绩。双方英超历史交锋43场，阿森纳16胜17平10负，其中客场4胜10平7负。双方历史交锋172场，阿森纳73胜45平54负占据上风。这是温格执教阿森纳以来的第999场比赛，厄齐尔因伤缺阵，斯泽斯尼、吉布斯和罗西基轮换进入首发。

At the beginning of the game, under the leadership of Zhang Xu, Arsenal, who were holding back their energy due to the rotation, quickly launched a fierce attack.

Only 72 seconds into the game, Arsenal took the lead. Zhang Xu gave Rosicky the ball from the middle. Rosicky and Chamberlain cooperated continuously, and suddenly shot a strong shot from the right side of the penalty area 18 yards from the goal!
The football draws a beautiful arc, straight to the far corner of the goal!The Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper had no time to react and the football went into the net!

One to zero!Arsenal lead by one goal!
It was the fastest goal ever scored in a North London derby in the Premier League.

After falling behind by one goal, Tottenham Hotspur, who were playing at home, were unwilling to fail and immediately stepped up their attack.

In the 15th minute of the game, Chadley fell in the arc of the penalty area in the face of several double-teams, and the referee Mike Dean refused to make a penalty.Then Arsenal played a quick counterattack, Zhang Xu dribbled forward with the ball, and then made a straight pass. Chamberlain broke through to the edge of the penalty area and missed the single-handed shot!

In fact, for this ball, Chamberlain has a better choice. He can pass the ball to his teammate Podolski on the other side. In this case, Podolski, who is unmarked and facing an empty goal, will definitely be able to score the ball.

But it's a pity that Chamberlain wanted to score too much. Instead of passing the ball, he chose to shoot, but he failed to score!So Chamberlain's approach immediately aroused the anger of his teammate Podolski. After the football flew out of the baseline, he immediately ran in front of Chamberlain and asked loudly why the opponent didn't pass the ball.

Chamberlain felt a little unreasonable, so he could only walk back silently with his head buried.

Podolski obviously did not want to stop there, he followed closely behind Chamberlain and continued to yell at him.

Seeing such a scene, Zhang Xu knew that if he didn't stop it, it might cause disunity in the team, so he directly stopped Chamberlain and Podolski, smiled and said: "Hey, what are you doing? Chamberlain, I want you to rest well last night. Don't get excited because of starting the game. Look, I was still excited today. I accidentally hit a plane! Haha!"

Then Zhang Xu hugged Podolski again, and said with a smile: "Hey, are you upset? It's okay, I will feed you a ball in person later, but if you can't score, you have to treat me to a delicious meal later! How about it?"

Seeing Zhang Xu's persuasion, both of them felt a lot better in their hearts. After looking at each other, they were both a little embarrassed about their actions just now.

Chamberlain touched his head and said to Podolski coyly, "Sorry, I forgot to pass the ball when I got excited just now!"

"Hehe, it's okay! I used to be worse than you!" Podolski finally laughed, patted each other's shoulders, and said warmly.

In this way, a conflict that was about to erupt was resolved by Zhang Xu.

Similarly, like Podolski, Tottenham coach Sherwood is also quite angry!It's just that his anger is due to the marking error of the back line!He stood on the sidelines, yelling at his team's defenders.

It has to be said that Sherwood's scolding was still effective. In the subsequent games, Tottenham were obviously much tougher in defense and quite threatening in offense.

In the 17th minute of the game, Eriksson made a free kick from the right, and Kabul's header went wide.
