Two consecutive draws!

Everyone is away, and Arsenal have also carried out a large-scale rotation!

However, in the media's publicity, there have been many discordant voices. They think that Arsenal is too dependent on Chen Yuyuan now. Once Chen Yuyuan is injured, won't it be revealed?

This is not without reason!
There were signs of this last season. In the absence of Chen Yuyuan, Arsenal had no serious wins, and now after going through reinforcements!

Arsenal proved their dependence on Chen Yuyuan with two draws!
Wu Lei knew in advance that he would not win the Chinese Golden Globe Award, and knew that the head coach would give the players some opportunities during this period of time, so he stayed in England, wanting to learn more and practice more to gain some game experience!

Arsenal v Newcastle United
Only two days away from the last game!
Arsenal still use 4-2-3-1 in this game.Only Sanogo replaced compatriot Giroud as the team's single arrow.

What is different from the widely predicted start is that the teenager Niles continued to stand firm in the start, playing in the Premier League for two consecutive games.

Looking back at the last round of Arsenal's match against West Ham United, when Giroud was the gunner's single arrow, Arsenal's style of play was very simple and rough, that is, a wing raid with a pass, and then let Giroud fight for the top in front of the goal .

Niles started the last Premier League game, which can be regarded as Wenger resting the main players for the schedule!

In this game, he continued to arrange Niles to start, which proved that he has full confidence in Niles' strength.And the performance of the teenager also has many bright spots, and the forward penetration is active and effective!
Although most of the time other players completely ignored the kid and didn't pass the ball to him at all, Niles was diligent, without complaint or regret, and his tactical execution was extremely good.

And his job is done very beautifully. He is active in chasing back, fast, accurate in position, not afraid of confrontation, accurate and timely in defense, not flustered, and can even be called quite calm; the highlight lies in his The dribbling and breakthrough ability is not weak, and even once the midfielder dribbled the ball through the middle until he shot a cold shot slightly wide of the goalpost in front of the penalty area, which was quite brilliant.

Arsene Wenger even said bluntly after the game: "I believe he is the future, he can play right back, left back, midfielder and other positions. He performed very well in one-on-one. Quick too. He still needs to gain experience and work on it, but overall he's had a very good three days. He's sharp."

In an interview after the game, Niles was neither humble nor overbearing. He said: "We are back on track, we need to continue this performance, stay strong in defense, and not lose the ball. In the last 20 minutes, we created trouble for ourselves. We should have been better on the ball. Today the fans have been encouraging us, they cheered loudly, I feel very comfortable on the pitch, the fans gave me support, I want to thank them."

Benitez deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation for Newcastle in this battle.Merino and Hayden are firmly in the defensive midfielder position, while Perez's position is relatively deep.Since Newcastle's passing and controlling ability is limited, their offense mainly relies on counterattacks from the side, or long passes to find Joselu's head.

Wenger said: "Because Chen Yuyuan went to the award ceremony, he had a perfect season and there are countless awards to receive. I think we can solve these problems, so let him go!"

"We knew before the game that this game would not be easy. Newcastle will focus on defense. We need to be prepared in terms of set-piece defense, long balls and counter-attacks, but we will still play offensive football!"

In the end, Wenger said with some resentment: "We are the only team that plays on Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday."

This game was as difficult as Wenger thought, their problems were all on the surface, the finishing ability was too weak, and the team kept the score of 0:0 in the first half!
It wasn't until the second half that the game changed!

In this game, Wu Lei came off the bench. In the 72nd minute of the second half, this is a very delicate time!
Wenger put his arms around Wu Lei and explained: "I let you play because I hope you can score goals. Your sense of smell is very keen. Give play to your strengths and don't think too much. Score that goal!"

Wu Lei's running position is the foundation for him to gain a foothold in the team!
Because whether it is body, speed, or technique, he has never been the outstanding one since he was a child, so he can only rely on his brain to play football!
He didn't live up to the coach's fancy to him!
When the game progressed to the 83rd minute!
Arsenal launched a quick counterattack!
Sun Xingmin dribbled the ball and continuously got rid of people on the right. Facing the dense defensive players, he chose to cross from the right to the penalty area.

Wu Lei's keen sense of smell and running position made him run out of the crowd like running water, catch the ball at the back point, push it lightly, and scored an extremely beautiful goal!

He slipped and fell to the ground, but quickly got up, and ran to the corner flagpole with an excited face!
This is the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's home stadium, the fans are eager for a victory, and Wu Lei brought them a victory!
"If I remember correctly, he also helped us score against Real Madrid last time!"

"Yes, that's him, he's the same as Chen!"

Arsenal fans were discussing, they chanted Wu Lei's name!
In the end, with Wu Lei's goal, Arsenal defeated West Ham United at home. West Ham United's efforts were all destroyed by Wu Lei's goal!
Just a crucial lore shot!
Many years later, when someone asked Wu Lei what was his most memorable goal, he said this game without hesitation!
Because, he saw the Arsenal fans fanatical for him, and heard thousands of people chanting for him!
Judging from the on-the-spot data of this game, Arsenal has an overall advantage, continuing their strong performance at home this season, and also playing their usual style of quick passing and cutting with the ball in possession.

In terms of pass control data, Arsenal's on-the-spot ball possession rate is as high as 71%, and the total number of passes passed by Arsenal is twice that of their opponents.In addition to occupying an overwhelming advantage in pass control, Arsenal's statistical performance is also better than that of their opponents in terms of shooting and passing threatening balls.And these are indeed a true reflection of the situation on the field.

The only problem is that in terms of finishing ability, Arsenal is still a little bit worse!
Wenger naturally also noticed this problem, but he didn't have to worry about it soon, because Chen Yuyuan was coming back soon!
