Chapter 339 Who can stop
"Who can stop Arsenal?"
After Arsenal defeated Villa, Sky Sports published a report the next day, which read:
Arsenal won again! Arsenal just defeated the Red Devils and Manchester United three-to-zero, and defeated Aston Villa again with a score of 2-0.
We may not remember how many times this is Arsenal’s victory in the game! Arsenal’s rise is no longer possible, but a real fact!
League champion? Perhaps this has been in Arsenal's possession! There are other champions, and perhaps Arsenal is already eyeing him.
Now, the only thing we need to guess is who can stand up and stop Arsenal? Even if it is stopped once, it may be a miracle!
However, Arsenal's momentum is too strong now! Moreover, Arsenal has the magical Chinese zhang and this miraculous Chinese zhang!
After Arsenal has gained China, its strength has increased greatly, and all problems seem to have been solved. Arsenal's terrifying record this season is the best example!
This report immediately caused an uproar in England. The major heroes who had long been envious, jealous and hated Arsenal became even more afraid of Arsenal.
Perhaps in anyone's eyes, Arsenal has become a target, a target that everyone wants to defeat!
So after Wenger saw this news, he felt that it was not good. This report suddenly uncovered the hidden psychology of the wealthy families in the UK, and at the same time completely removed the last veil.
In the past, people might have been embarrassed to blatantly block Arsenal, but as soon as this report was released, all the wealthy families did not have to pay any attention to their face and made great efforts to fight to the end.
In this case, Arsenal will be in trouble! If every team fights Arsenal to the death, Arsenal will definitely not be able to withstand it, even if Arsenal has the strongest strength!
However, Wenger can't do anything now. He can't tell reporters that Arsenal does not have this ambition and deliberately gives up the game? That's even more impossible!
So, Wenger could only say nothing and silently played every game of his own!
2o14 at 3:00 pm on January 18, 2o14, England staged a London derby at the Emirates Stadium in the 22nd round, with Arsenal playing against Fulham at home.
Arsenal ushered in the team's second English derby and the first English derby at home. The Gunners had won four consecutive games in the UK, and only lost one goal in the last 8 home games in the official game. Wenger continued to use the lineup that beat Villa 2-0 away away on Monday.
Fulham rotated as many as 6 people, and Hangland, who recovered from back surgery, has been the first in the league since January last year. Goalkeeper Stecklenburg recovered in time, and Boone, Richardson, Dejaga and Kakaniklic also played. Fulham has never won the official game away from Arsenal (5 draws and 22 losses), but has drawn two draws in the last two games. The two sides have 54 historical clashes, with Arsenal having the upper hand 36 wins, 10 draws and 8 losses.

Especially Zhang Xu, he completely controlled the game in his own hands.
Caszorla scored twice in the 62nd minute! Monreal made a cross from the left, Zhang Xu grabbed the first point in the middle, and made a ball to Casorla. Casorla stopped the ball at the top of the penalty area and shot low with his left foot into the lower right corner, 2-0!
Cassora's goal in this game is equivalent to the total goal of the previous 23 rounds.
His nearly seven British goals all came from home. Fulham conceded 48 goals this season, setting a record for the first 22 rounds of the British and non-selling team conceded goals, and it is also the record for the top league non-selling team since the 1985-86 season (West Brown conceded 53 goals in 22 rounds).
Darren Bent replaced Dejaga, and he scored 8 goals with Arsenal in the last 10 matches. Wenger also responded, and Podolski replaced Gnabry.
