Football: The Hand that Covers the Sky

After one draw and one defeat, Arsenal not only lost their second place in the league, but also fell directly to fourth. Manchester City and Southampton ranked second and third with one point advantage, while Chelsea continued to maintain their winning streak, with eight-round stoppage. Topped the list with 22 points.

Although it is already 7 points behind Chelsea, Arsenal is not without a chance. The league has only passed a quarter. As long as Arsenal can get all the points in the next game, it will be possible to catch up early. Chelsea.

But can it really be done with Arsenal's lineup? Besides, this is a very long process. The game needs to be played one after another. After the eighth round of the league, Arsenal need to first turn their attention to the third opponent in the Champions League group stage.

The giant Anderlecht from Belgium, this Belgian giant not only dominates the country, but also in the European arena in the 1970s.

However, with the changes in modern football, many strong teams in the last century have withdrawn from the mainstream of Europe and can no longer threaten the goals of the top league.

In terms of the upcoming game, although the Belgian giants are the hegemons several times in the country, similar to the last round of Turkish giants Galatasaray, they are only second-rate teams in the European arena.

This is the first time Arsenal and Anderlecht have met in the Champions League, so there is no history to say, but the Belgian team has played against other teams in the Premier League, but the record is a bit miserable.

Of course, these results do not show much. The real victory or defeat is determined by the two teams on the court. In late October, Arsenal arrived in Brussels, the capital of Belgium as scheduled.

Speaking of the many talents in Belgium over the years, it is said that a talented midfielder has emerged in Anderlecht, Yuri Tillermans, a talented midfielder who is only 17 years old.

Speaking of Arsenal, he has observed Tillermans and is even the focus of observation, so this game is also an opportunity for this young genius. If he can perform in the game against Arsenal, perhaps Wenger Can impress Wenger.

Logging into giants is the dream of every player, and as talented players, their goal has always been giants, but most geniuses can only waste years and miss their best years of progress.

For the two teams that met for the first time, there is naturally no so-called grievances before the game, so both sides focus on the game. Arsenal want to win three consecutive victories and strive to qualify early, and Anderlecht needs It takes a victory to change your ranking in the group.

Even if the Champions League cannot enter the knockout rounds, at least it must enter the Europa League. Although the Europa League has no way to compare with the Champions League, it is better than being eliminated directly.

Van den Stoke stadium, this stadium that can only accommodate more than 20,000 people has long been full of seats, and the double serve players have also warmed up and returned to the dressing room.

Arsenal's main lineup has changed a lot from the previous game. Not only did Li Shou return to the starting lineup, but Chambers and Ramsey both recovered from injuries, and Chambers will make his debut in this game.

Other positions have not changed. The central defender is still a combination of Mertesacker and Monreal, Gibbs on the left, midfielder Flamini, Wilshere, Soraka, and the striker is Griezmann. Sanchez and Welbeck.

On the other side of Anderlecht, the most anticipated is naturally the talented young player who is concerned by many European giants. In addition, the most famous one should be Defort, who has played for the Portuguese giants Porto for five seasons.

Speaking of which, Defour was once optimistic by many people, but it is a pity that he did not grow up to the height that people expected when he joined the European black shop, and ultimately failed to be favored by the giants of the top league.

Although it was an away game, Arsenal's strength can be the main goal, and Arsenal did so after the start of the game.

In the third minute of the game, Arsenal ushered in the first shot of the game. Sanchez made a pass from the right. Sanchez broke from the right and passed the ball to the penalty spot. Cazorla followed up with a volley from the center. Shot missed.

Arsenal made a comeback of the two, still from Sanchez, but this time Sanchez chose to come by himself, after holding the ball into the penalty area and shooting the far corner, the ball missed the goal post and flew out of the baseline.

In the ninth minute, Li Shou made the first save of the game. Anderlecht also attacked from the wing, and it was also on the right. However, Li Shou cleared himself in a cross from Anderlecht.

"Paul, do you miss this familiar scene?" Andy Gray watched Li Shou's rescue and couldn't help but asked Paul Merson.

"Of course, I missed Li very much during the London Derby." Li Shou used his outstanding performance to bias the two Sky Sports commentators.

In fact, Paul Merson's preference for Arsenal is understandable. After all, he has played for Arsenal for many years and is considered an Arsenal meritorious player. Andy Gray is of orthodox origin.

Li Shou's save once again became the start of Arsenal's counterattack. The ball came directly to Ramsey's feet, and the latter found Welbeck.

Although Welbeck's ability to seize opportunities is still worrying, he still has a lot of improvement compared to when he first joined. The last round was a perfect goal in stoppage time.

Welbeck's physical fitness is indeed good, carrying the defensive header to Griezmann, the Frenchman rushed into the penalty area with the ball to complete Arsenal's third shot.

Although Griezmann was the only shot from Arsenal's first three feet that was within the range of the goal frame~www.wuxiaspot.com~, he did not score. The ball was blocked by Anderlecht goalkeeper Proto.

The subsequent corner kick was topped by Mertesacker. Unfortunately, the header from the German central defender did not pose any threat. The ball went above the crossbar this time.

In the 16th minute, Arsenal got a very good free kick opportunity. Welbeck received a pass and was knocked down. Although the referee did not draw a card, the free kick must be given.

This well-positioned free kick was finally taken by Soraka. As a result, the Spaniard's shot directly hit the wall, and Anderlecht took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

However, Arsenal's reaction was not slow. Facing the huge pit defense line of Arsenal, Li Shou also had to start commanding his teammates. Under the command of Li Shou, Anderlecht's final shot did not pose any threat and was directly by Li Shou. Included in the bag.

Immediately, Li Shouchang passed Sanchez, who once again broke through the bottom from the side. This wave of offense was almost the same as the goal in the previous game.

Unfortunately, there was a problem in the last link. Welbeck in the penalty zone did not seize the opportunity, and actually shot an anti-aircraft gun to help Anderlecht resolve the crisis.
