Chapter 329 Defeat Cardiff City
After winning the Marseille team, Arsenal's group points reached 15 points, which means he locked the top spot in the group. Even if he lost to Naples in the subsequent game, he would not pose a threat to the top spot in the group. ≥
At the same time, Arsenal directly broke through the record of 20 consecutive wins set by Real Madrid, pushing this record to a terrifying 21 consecutive wins!
On the second day after the game, the entire Arsenal team had not yet arrived in London. On the streets and alleys of England, the matter of Arsenal breaking the record of 20 consecutive games was widely publicized by the English media.
"Twenty-one consecutive wins! Arsenal will surely rise strongly!"
This is an article from The Sun, which reads: In a match in the European Champions League group stage held yesterday, Arsenal faced Marseille at home and once again defeated his opponent with a score of 2-1!
The most important significance of this game is not to allow Arsenal to win the top spot in the group, but to break the record of 20 consecutive games created by Real Madrid, pushing the record to 21 consecutive games!
Twenty-one consecutive wins! What a terrifying record!
In our impression, Arsenal only had such brilliant results in the Henry era, and even in the Henry era, it was not able to create a horror record of 21 consecutive victories!
So, we believe that this season, Arsenal will surely rise again!
All the giant teams in England, you must be careful!
In addition, we have to notice that Arsenal can create a record of 21 consecutive games, which is completely inseparable from one person!
He is China. Without him, Arsenal's chronic disease of defense would not have been solved at all. Without him, Arsenal's midfield organization would not have been as strong as it is now! Without him, Arsenal's attack power would not have been so terrifying!
So, if Arsenal is about to rise, then China will make great contributions! He can be said to be the real hope for Arsenal's rise!
"China zhang joins, Arsenal rises!"
This is a report from Sky Sports, which reads: Since China Zhang joined Arsenal, Arsenal has become a freshman, from the backcourt to the frontcourt, every line has shown strong strength!
From the Chiefs Cup, to the winning streak of the league, to the sweep of the European Champions League group stage, Arsenal has shown a powerful and terrifying power!
With these achievements, we can clearly see the shadow of China's zhang in it! China's zhang not only has steady defense, but also has very skilled midfield organization, and even its attack power is impressive.
It is such an all-round Chinese zhang that has equipped Arsenal with the strongest heart and given Arsenal a wing to take off!
What we can foresee is that Arsenal will rise in England again with the help of China!
Perhaps, with Chinese zhang Arsenal, it will take a key step in the European Champions League! It will win the European Champions League trophy!
