At 12:45 on October 26, 2013, a focus match in the 9th round of the 2013/14 English Premier League was held at the Selhurst Park Stadium, and Arsenal challenged Crystal Palace away.
CrystalPalacefootball Club is a professional football team located in London (south) England. It was founded in 1905 and is home to Selhurst Park Stadium and is now in the English Premier League.
In the 2009/10 season, Crystal Palace, which was played in the Championship at the time, was taken over due to financial issues and was deducted tens of thousands of dollars. It ranked fourth from the bottom and only retained its place in the Championship.
However, in the 2012/13 season, Crystal Palace won fifth place in the English Championship and can participate in the promotion play-offs and finally win to advance to the Premier League.
From the first 40 years after the club was established, Crystal Palace team did not have its own team logo. Until the late 1940s, the original team logo began to be used as a building in Hyde Park. But after that, the image of the Eagle was added to the team logo, and the nickname of Crystal Palace also became the "Eagle".
The game was held at the home court of Crystal Palace. Selhurst Park is located in south London and can accommodate 26,247 spectators. It was unveiled on August 30, 1924 by the mayor of London. There was only one stand (the current main stand). In the first game, Crystal Palace lost 0-1 to Xie Wednesday.
In 1953, flood light facilities were installed (some are still on the top of the main stand), but nine years later, they were replaced by the lighthouse at the four corners of the court. Selhurst Park did not make major improvements until Crystal Palace first promoted to Group A in 1969, and the Arthurwaitstand was added, and the main stand was changed to an agent.
In 1983, Crystal Palace sold the back and parking lot of the whitehorselane to Sainsbury's for 2 million pounds to relieve financial distress.
In 1986, Charlton Athletic moved to share Selhurst Park with Crystal Palace as the home stadium, and shared the stadium agreement for England's first league team.
When Charlton Athletic returned to the Valley Stadium, Wimbledon became a new tenant in 1991. The holmesdale stand was demolished in 1994, and a two-story 8,500-seat new stand was completed a year later, while the top cover of the main stand was replaced due to water leakage.
Wimbleton was allowed to move out of London in 2002, and officially moved out of Milton Keynes in 2003. In 2008, Selhurst Park Stadium was jointly owned by HBOS and former Tottenham Hotspur vice chairman Paulkemsley, and rented it to Crystal Palace for a 25-year contract, with an annual lease of 1.2 million pounds.
However, the former was acquired by lloydsbanking group in January 2009, while the latter carried out a debt restructuring in June. PWC, who serves as asset manager, will sell the stadium for cash out when the market price is appropriate.
This is the first time the two sides have met since 2005. Arsenal has won 4 wins and 3 draws against Crystal Palace in the last seven times. Crystal Palace defeated Arsenal away last time in 1994. The two sides had 33 historical confrontations, with Arsenal having the upper hand 20 wins, 10 draws and 3 losses. Flamini returned from injury, and Caszorla also rotated back to the starting lineup. Former Arsenal center Shamach started for Crystal Palace.
The 3-2-3-2 double-middle formation is still familiar to everyone: the goalkeeper is No. 1 - Szesni; the defender is No. 3 - Sarnia, No. 4 - Mertesacker, No. 6 - Koscheerney; the backer is No. 18 Zhang Xuhe No. 8 - Arteta, the midfield is No. 1 - Ramsey, No. 11 - Ozil and No. 19 - Cazorla; the forward is No. 12 - Giroud and No. 14 - Walcott.
Fairmullen, Will Sher, and Bentner were all placed on the bench.
At the beginning of the game, Zhang Xu did not let the water go because Crystal Palace was once a place where senior Fan Zhengyi stayed, but instead launched a fierce attack.
In the third minute of the game, Sarnia made a cross from the right, and Giroud headed the ball from 12 yards slightly higher.
In the 8th minute of the game, Zhang Xu's long shot was slightly above the crossbar.
In the 14th minute of the game, Crystal Palace finally had a good offense. Former Arsenal youth training winger Thomas made a cross from the left, and Banan headed the ball from 12 yards high.
In the 18th minute of the game, Zhang Xu passed the ball, and Walcott's shot outside the edge of the penalty area was also in the arms of the Crystal Palace goalkeeper.
In the past twenty minutes, Arsenal's attacks were significantly higher than Crystal Palace. Thunder and lightning were frequent, but what was the effect? It was not very good. Arsenal, including Zhang Xu, seemed to have no shooting boots and could not shoot in no matter how hard it was.
In the 33rd minute of the game, Zhang Xu headed the ball, Walcott's shot in the penalty area was blocked, Ozil's arc shot in the edge of the penalty area missed the left post, and Casolla missed the header in front of the goal.
In the 35th minute of the game, Ramsey passed the ball, and Cazorla passed the ball at a small angle on the right side of the penalty area and slipped through the goal.
In the 41st minute of the game, Ozil made a cross from the left, but Giroud missed the header and the ball missed the post from the far corner.
In the 44th minute of the game, Ozil made another cross from the left. Giroud's volley after stopping the ball and was confiscated by Crystal Palace goalkeeper Speroni.
The first half of the game ended. After the second half of the game changed sides, Zhang Xu really didn't believe this evil anymore. He still led his teammates to launch a fierce offensive against the Crystal Palace goal.
His efforts were not in vain, and soon he gained something.
In the 47th minute of the game, Zhang Xu dribbled the ball and forced himself into the penalty area. Facing three Crystal Palace defenders, he made a fake shot and stabbed the football at Walcott's feet with his toes. Walcott directly fell to the ground and shot, and the football flew into the goal that was close to him!
One to zero! Arsenal leads with one goal! Still the team that keeps scoring in every game this season.
After leading the score, seeing the team finally breaking the vicious circle of not scoring, Arsenal's overall morale suddenly rose, while Crystal Palace was a little depressed. However, this is the home court of Crystal Palace after all, and no matter what, they do not want to lose at their doorstep. Therefore, Crystal Palace played relatively positively and the number of attacks increased.
In the 50th minute of the game, Crystal Palace defender Delaney cleared and deflected on Giroud's leg, and the ball missed the right post.
Arsenal almost expanded the score in the 54th minute of the game. Sarnia made a cross from the right, and Giroud, who was unguarded, headed the ball from a close distance missed.
Just when Arsenal people thought there would be no suspense in the game, an accident happened.
In the 65th minute of the game, Arteta made a tactical foul against Crystal Palace, who broke through the ball, and was sent off directly with a red card. The last time the Arsenal player scored a goal in a single league game and got a red card was Ian Wright in 1996.
Zhang Xu felt incomprehensible about Arteta's foul. He was standing by his side at that time and did not need to use foul tactics to block the opponent's attack.
Zhang Xu believed that no matter whether the other party broke through Arteta or not, he would have enough confidence to stop the other party.
OK, maybe that's what you think!
Zhang Xu could only comfort himself like this, and then adjust his formation, and stand on the line before head coach Wenger made adjustments.
Soon, Wenger made an adjustment, and Wilshire replaced Giroud. Then Monreal also replaced Cassorla and cooperated with Zhang Xu to play the midfielder.
Seeing that Arsenal was sent off, the entire Crystal Palace team seemed to see hope of tying the score or even overtaking the score, and immediately launched a fierce offensive.
In the 74th minute of the game, Dick Gakoi of Crystal Palace passed the ball, Ward's powerful shot in front of the penalty area was blocked by Zhang Xu and hit the crossbar and bounced out. Then Zhang Xu cleared the corner kick, and Jedinak's shot in front of the penalty area was easily saved by Szesny.
In the 82nd minute of the game, Walcott passed the ball, and Monreal's shot from the left side of the small penalty area was blocked.
In the 86th minute of the game, Monreal made a cross and Ozil volleyed and shot miserably.
Arsenal expanded the score in the 87th minute of the game. Ramsey broke through and made a cross from the left side of the penalty area. Walcott headed the ball from the edge of the small penalty area!
But it was rushed out by the opponent's goalkeeper. Zhang Xu happened to receive the football that was saved and shot directly! The football came into the net!
2-0! Arsenal secured the victory and continued to lead the league!
Chapter completed!
