There is a dream called football

4 to 1 Fulham.

0-0 Middlesbrough.

2-0 Everton.

0-0 West Ham United.

1-0 Birmingham.

2-0 West Bromwich Albion.

1-0 Manchester City.

After 10 rounds of the Premier League, Arsenal is ranked first, and the Champions League is also going smoothly. This is the second time since Wenger took charge of Arsenal that he has been so happy. The last time was of course the 49-game unbeaten season.

.

On May 8, 2003, Arsenal defeated Southampton 6-1, kicking off a 49-game unbeaten run.

On October 24, 2004, Arsenal lost 0-2 to Manchester United in an away game, finally ending their 49-game unbeaten streak.

At the same time, Arsenal's performance also fell from the altar. I don't know why, but Arsenal has been stumbling in the league since then.

After the victory over Manchester City, reporters after the game naturally thought of the 49-game unbeaten streak, so someone asked: "Arthur, I think of the 49-game unbeaten streak, which is also Arsenal's glory."

Wenger laughed and said, "I know what you want to ask, but it's only 10 rounds of the league, so it's still a bit early to talk about records."

"But Arsenal is very strong now, especially after bringing in Li Qiao."

In the first ten rounds, Li Qiao scored 4 goals and provided 2 assists. This performance was completely worthy of his worth. Even Arsenal felt that Liverpool had lost money.

"Let's talk about it at the end of the season."

This is Wenger's style, conservative and cautious. He will not brag until he holds the trophy in his hands. This is obviously different from Mourinho.

After talking about these happy things, the reporter changed the topic and said, "The North London Derby and Tottenham are coming soon. What do you think?"

In the 11th round, Arsenal played Tottenham Hotspur. The North London derby has long been famous and is considered one of the most intense Premier League derbies.

Wenger is no longer modest about Derby.

"I think the victory will belong to Arsenal. Everyone has seen Tottenham's record since I took office. I think we can defeat our opponents. I have no doubt about this."

The reporter was not surprised by the standard answer.

Unexpectedly, at the same time, similar questions were raised to Tottenham's Dutch coach Martin Jol.

Jol said that Arsenal at this time is no longer the invincible Gunners before.

"I admit that Arsenal used to be very strong, but now everything has changed. Arsenal is already behind Chelsea and Manchester United. They are just an ordinary team, so I am not afraid of them. I will lead

Spurs beat the French."

Joel's confidence is not groundless. Looking at Tottenham's lineup at this time, it is not luxurious enough, but they are all Premier League players who can fight hard.

The forwards are Defoe and Robbie Keane, the wingers are Lennon, and Pedro Mendes, who was bought from Porto.

Tottenham is also a team that is favored by many Premier League experts. This team does not have big names, but none of them are ordinary people. This kind of team is often difficult to deal with because they can afford to lose.

Arriving at White Hart Lane, Arsenal were reviled by Tottenham fans. Sitting in the bus, Li Qiao felt it was deafening.

"These bastards." Li Qiao said with a bitter smile.

"Haha, just don't start a fight. Look, there are so many police here." Van Persie laughed.

There are indeed a lot of police. Under normal circumstances, so many police are not dispatched. The only time Li Qiao saw them was last year's Merseyside derby.

"Look, that female Mountie is so beautiful." Van Persie smiled.

"Haha, you still have this thought at this point."

Van Persie shrugged, "Why not, I'm not the starter anyway."

In this game, Arsenal started on the two wings with Cesc Fabregas on the left, Li Qiao on the right, and Robin van Persie as a substitute.

After playing, Li Qiao immediately felt a lot of pressure. Because White Hart Lane is a small stadium, like a box, Li Qiao could hear the fans yelling and cursing from the wings.

The distance was only about 10 meters, and this was the first time I encountered this kind of pressure.

I knew White Hart Lane was very small when I was watching football in my previous life, but I didn't expect to know that it was indeed small until I came to see it in person.

After the opening, Tottenham attacked very fiercely, and the two forwards Keane and Defoe were still very effective, especially Keane.

What fans are most familiar with is his machine gun shooting celebration after scoring a goal, which is also Keane's trademark.

Tottenham had mobilized before the game, hoping to give their arch-rivals their first defeat of the season and dash Wenger's dream of winning streak.

This kind of joy of bringing down a mortal enemy can only be felt by experiencing it personally.

In this game, Wenger did not use Senderos, but Campbell. This is the player that Tottenham fans hate the most. He went from Tottenham to rival Arsenal in the same city, so Tottenham fans can never forgive him.

.

However, Campbell's defensive ability is obvious to all. Keane's fight for the top in the penalty area basically made it difficult for Campbell.

He is also the anchor of Arsenal's defence.

For Arsenal, Henry did not play. Due to injury, the Spaniard Reyes started this game.

It's Reyes who played at Real Madrid. He and Bergkamp formed Arsenal's offensive line.

But what no one knew was that the offensive core of this game arranged by Wenger before the game turned out to be Li Qiao.

Without Henry, Wenger handed over the heavy responsibility to Li Qiao. This kind of trust is very important. Wenger now sees clearly that Bergkamp is old, and Arsenal's future should belong to Li Qiao and Van Persie.

.

Pires took the ball, and Arsenal's two forwards were all in place, but the French midfielder didn't pass the ball to anyone, but passed it straight to Li Qiao.

The latter followed up with a blast from the edge of the penalty area. Tottenham goalkeeper Robinson flew to save the ball.

It was almost 1-0.

Li Qiao is now a great threat even if he does not enter the penalty area. He has a great feel for the ball. For example, when to pass the ball and when to shoot, he has very clear standards in his mind.

For Li Qiao, Joel had a headache, but he didn't send anyone to guard him. It was simple, he couldn't guard him, and more importantly, the Dutchman in the penalty area was also very strong.

Bergkamp is old, but as long as he stands in the penalty area, he is a great threat. But Tottenham thought so, Wenger just asked Li Qiao to strengthen the attack on the wing. In this way, Tottenham's field

The players moved on their own without waiting for the coach's order to strengthen their defense on the wing.

This was exactly what Arsenal expected. Li Qiao glanced at the penalty area and passed the ball to Bergkamp, ​​which made Tottenham fans' hearts tighten.

Seeing Bergkamp's shovel shot, as long as the ball was touched, it would probably be a 100% goal.

At this time, all White Hart Lane can do is pray.
