After Christmas, except for the Premier League, other leagues have entered the winter break.

Since the Premier League does not have a winter break, their league is still in progress.

After Christmas, they will immediately get into the league competition.

Before Christmas, after 19 league rounds, Arsenal had a record of 16-2-1.

Currently in second place in the standings, there is a five-point gap from first place Manchester City.

But the gap is small enough.

Liverpool, in third place, has a double-digit gap with Arsenal and Manchester City.

It can be said that only Arsenal is currently holding on to Manchester City's footsteps.

In the first game after Christmas, Arsenal will challenge Crystal Palace away.

Crystal Palace has achieved two wins and three draws in the last five rounds, which can be regarded as stabilizing its position in the standings.

But in the 20th round against Arsenal, they had some difficulties.

After all, in this season's league, Arsenal and Manchester City have shown strong game control.

It can be said that as long as a draw is achieved against these two teams, it is already a very good result.

In this game, Arsenal made certain rotations.

Koscielny and Mustafi's centre-back partnership got the chance to start for a long time.

On the left, Saka also got a chance to start in the league.

Saka's outstanding performance in training prompted Mourinho to give the opponent a starting opportunity in advance.

It has to be said that Mourinho attaches great importance to Saka's breakthrough role on the wing.

Mourinho has also changed a lot since taking charge of Arsenal.

He is no longer obsessed with simple and direct play, but pays more attention to pressure from the wing and changes in rhythm.

This also requires more technical players on the wing, and Saka is exactly this type of player.

Under the guidance of Mourinho, Arsenal also abandoned many bad delaying rhythm passes and focused more on one key pass.

It can be said that Arsenal and Mourinho influence each other and change each other.

This is the most reasonable situation.

This shows that the two sides have become more adaptable to each other during the continuous running-in process.

Of course, at the heart of it all is still Lucky.

Lucky is still Arsenal's core player, and this is also the most basic cooperation model between Arsenal and Mourinho.

"The young player Saka is 17 years and 343 days old. He will officially celebrate his 18th birthday in January, but he got the starting opportunity for Arsenal in advance. We can look forward to the performance of this young player in this starting game. "

Saka seemed very excited. After all, it was his first start, which meant a lot to him.

Follow the team into the field, shake hands, and come to their own half.

Saka took a deep breath and continued to adjust his inner tension.

"Saka!"

Suddenly, someone called him, and Saka turned around.

He saw Lucky giving him a thumbs up.

Saka was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was the captain encouraging him.

Saka patted his chest.

‘Look at me! ’

Lucky was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but chuckle.

What a confident little guy!

However, this kind of confidence is very necessary on the court.

The game started with Arsenal taking the lead.

Crystal Palace adopted a more conservative defensive formation when facing Arsenal.

This also hinders Arsenal's breakthrough.

For this reason, Lucky began to frequently distribute the ball towards the wing, especially Saka.

"Pass the ball to Saka!"

Sometimes, Lucky also reminds his teammates.

After receiving the ball, Saka became active on the wing.

Saka relies on his flexible body and strong explosive power to stimulate the opponent's full-backs with constant changes of direction and strong bursts.

It has to be said that facing this kind of purely physical pressure from young players, this is a fatal problem for many players who turn slowly.

Just like now, it is the third time that Saka has taken advantage of Crystal Palace's full-back.

"It was passed again. Martin Kelly was like a heavy pickup truck in front of Saka. Saka only needed three seconds to pass the opponent."

Narrator Paul Mawson laughed.

They like this kind of one-on-one hard eating session the most, which will gradually push the atmosphere to a climax.

After being passed over three times in a row, Martin Kelly's entire face turned red.

He got busted by a rookie.

This made him angry.

"Be calm, that guy is going to hit you hard, remember to pass the ball more!"

Wilshere took the initiative to find Saka and shouted.

Saka nodded.

Five minutes later, the ball came to Saka's feet again.

Saka caught the ball sideways and planned to sprint towards the baseline.

At this time, Martin Kelly also rushed over. This guy's eyes were fierce, staring at Saka's legs!

Saka moved the ball forward and Martin Kelly suddenly pressed his whole body forward.

This is an extremely dangerous move.

But at this moment, Saka suddenly pulled his left foot.

Martin Kelly lost sight of his target, and he subconsciously stretched back.

Saka, on the other hand, thrust the ball towards the opponent's crotch and let it go.

Crotch-wearing is awesome!

Martin Kelly's entire face almost turned red, and his expression became ferocious.

His hands grabbed forward like pliers, hugged Saka's legs, and pulled back.

Ah~~~~~~~!

Saka screamed and fell to the ground.

A sharp whistle sounded.

The referee ran over quickly.

At the same time, Wilshere also rushed over and stepped directly on Martin Kelly.

But before he could do anything, he was pulled away by a pair of big hands.

"calm down!"

Lucky hugged Wilshere tightly and pulled him from behind.

After Ramsey comes forward, hand Wilshere to Ramsey and then run towards Saka.

"How about it?"

Lucky asked with a frown.

The action just now was too dangerous, it was very possible

Saka lay on the ground and glanced sideways at Lucky.

This guy covered his face slightly and stuck out his tongue towards Lucai

Lucky was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but feel happy.

This guy is cheating!

Saka has already pretended to be like this, and Lucky can't let him down.

"Sir, this is a vicious foul. I believe you will make a fair penalty. I need to explain to my teammates that we cannot let this kind of butcher continue to stay in the game."

Hearing this, the Crystal Palace players were anxious.

As soon as they were about to speak, the referee took out the red card directly from his pocket and pointed it at Martin Kelly on the ground.

A direct red card is sent off, which is much more serious than two yellows and one red.

Crystal Palace was sent off a full-back 25 minutes into the first half, which was a bolt from the blue for them.

The purpose was achieved, but the modification still needs to be installed.

The team doctors stepped forward and carried Saka to the sidelines for symbolic treatment.

Saka limped up, his face showing signs of pain from time to time.

Lucky saw all this in his eyes, turned to look at Wilshere and said, "You taught me this?"

Wilshere shook his head quickly: "I never taught him, I swear!"

After a pause, Wilshere smiled; "But the effect is good, we can at least play an easy game!"

Not bad indeed.

Lucky couldn't help but be happy.

Saka returned to the court and Crystal Palace played one less player.

In this case, almost all members of the Crystal Palace contracted their defense. Let alone a counterattack, they did not dare to come out of the penalty area.

Arsenal, on the other hand, surrounded the opponent and bombarded them wildly.

After a full 50 minutes passed, in the second half, Arsenal pried open the turtle shell of Crystal Palace.

Lucky passed the ball and assisted Giroud with a header.

Arsenal also won the game with this goal.

In this game, although Saka failed to score, his performance was still recognized.

After all, in the first half, Saka's frequent breakthroughs caused Martin Kelly's mentality to collapse, which eventually resulted in a red card and sending off.

In order to reward Saka, Mourinho also let him play the whole game.

After the 90 minutes of the game.

Arsenal defeated Crystal Palace 1:0 away from home.

In the post-match press conference, Mourinho directly criticized Martin Kelly for his flagrant foul.

His tone was filled with anger, and he angrily denounced this butchery.

Saying this is killing the hope of football, such players should not be on the pitch.

The media can understand Mourinho's anger. After all, Saka's talent is already outstanding, and Mourinho certainly does not want any problems to arise with such talented players.
