Chapter 345: Draw against the Blues

Currently, Arsenal's league points have reached 81 points, far ahead of other major British teams.

However, due to the last three draws, the gap in points is gradually narrowing. Chelsea, now ranked second, has scored 68 points, which is only 13 points away from Arsenal.

If Arsenal continues to be tied or lost by opponents in the later league, the gap will continue to narrow.

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

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

"Three league games, three draws, Arsenal's fatigue is revealed?"

"Arsenal will eventually be unable to get rid of the problem of weakness in succession!"

"Arsenal draws three times, the magical Chinese zhang faces the biggest challenge!"

.............

At 4:00 pm on March 16, 2o14, a focus match in the 3rd round of the English Football League in the 2o13/14 season started at the White Hart Lane Stadium, and Arsenal challenged Tottenham Hotspur away.

Arsenal has been away from Bailuxiang in the last five league games, with 2 draws and 3 losses without a win. The British and British matches in history, with Arsenal 16 wins, 17 draws and 10 losses, of which 4 wins, 10 draws and 7 losses away. The two sides have 172 matches in history, with Arsenal 73 wins, 45 draws and 54 losses taking the upper hand. This is the 999th game since Wenger coached Arsenal. Ozil was absent due to injury, and Szesney, Gibbs and Rossiki entered in the rotation.

At the beginning of the game, Arsenal, who had been in a strong position in the rotation, quickly launched a fierce attack under the leadership of Zhang Xu.

Just 72 seconds into the game, Arsenal took the lead. Zhang Xu passed the ball to Rosici in the middle. After Rosici and Chamberlain cooperated continuously, he suddenly shot with a strong shot from 18 yards from the goal on the right side of the penalty area!

The football drew a beautiful arc and slapped straight into the far corner of the goal! The goalkeeper of Tottenham Hotspur team was not responding so well, and the football came into the net!

One to zero! Arsenal leads with one goal!

This is the fastest goal in the North London derby in England.

After falling behind with one goal, Tottenham Hotspur, who played at home, was unwilling to accept defeat and immediately increased its offense.

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

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

But unfortunately, Chamberlain wanted to score too much, so he chose to shoot without passing the ball, but failed to score! So Chamberlain's approach immediately aroused the anger of his teammate Podolsky. After the football flew out of the baseline, he immediately ran to Chamberlain and asked loudly why the other party didn't pass the ball.

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

Podolsky was obviously unwilling to give up. He followed Chamberlain tightly and continued to scold him loudly.

Seeing such a scene, Zhang Xu knew that if he didn't stop it, it would probably cause disunity among the team, so he directly stopped Chamberlain and Podolsky, smiled and said, "Hey, what are you doing? Chamberlain, let you have a good rest last night, don't be excited because of it. Look, I was still excited today, and I accidentally took a plane! Haha!"

Then Zhang Xu hugged Podolsky again and said with a smile: "Hehe, are you unhappy? It doesn't matter. I will feed you a ball later, but if you can't score, you have to treat me to a delicious meal in the future! How about it?"

Seeing Zhang Xu's persuasion like this, both of them felt much better. After looking at each other, they were a little embarrassed by their actions just now.

Chamberlain touched his head and said to Podolsky in a slight manner: "Sorry, I forgot to pass the ball when I was excited just now!"

"Haha, it's okay! I was worse than you before!" Podolski finally laughed, patted the other person's shoulder, and said in a warm voice.

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

Similarly, like Podolski, Tottenham coach Sherwood was quite angry! It was just that his anger was because of the defense line's missed control! He stood on the sidelines and roared at the defenders of his team.

I have to say that Sherwood's scolding was effective. In the subsequent games, Tottenham's defense was obviously much tougher and the offense was quite threatening.

In the 17th minute of the game, Eriksen made a free kick from the right, and Kabble headed the ball missed.

In the 22nd minute of the game, Sanya's flying tackle Danny Ross was warned by a yellow card.

In the 27th minute of the game, Podolski made a pass from the bottom from the left, and Chamberlain's shot outside the edge of the penalty area was blocked by Sandro from the left post. In the 30th minute, Eriksen shot directly from 25 yards from the right and was directly over. Chadley was given a yellow card for a foul on Rosici. In the 36th minute, Zhang Xu made another straight pass. After Podolski received the ball, he shot from the left side of the penalty area and hit the side net.

After not being able to score this, Podolsky smiled at Zhang Xu embarrassedly, but Zhang Xu didn't care. He just waved at Podolsky and ran quickly towards his half.

Then Chadley and Chamberlain's shots in front of the penalty area missed one after another. In the 45th minute, Gibbs was given a yellow card for a foul on Townsend.

In the 48th minute, Norton made a cross from the right, Szesney attacked and received the ball and missed the ball, and Chadley's shot in front of the small penalty area was blocked.

In the 55th minute, Norton made a cross from the right, and Bentalaib headed the ball from 11 yards.

In the 64th minute, Adebayo's powerful shot in front of the penalty area on the left was blocked, Bentaleb made a cross from the left, Adebayo's header in front of the small penalty area and missed the post on the right. Paulinho and Sigurdson came on the bench. Rosici was replaced by Flamini.

However, Arsenal played in this game with a difficult game from the beginning of the game, and Mourinho's tactics caused a lot of trouble for Arsenal.

In the face of Chelsea's rapid offensive craze, Zhang Xu had to focus on stabilizing defense.

In the third minute of the game, Xuerle made a cross from the right, and Szesni made a timely attack to save the ball before Etoo. Of course, Etoo was blocked by Zhang Xu for a while, otherwise the ball would be very dangerous.
