The poorest Premier League star, the whole network begs for money

The next day, training continued at the Arsenal base.

When the players came to work on time and clocked in, they discovered that Professor Wenger had also come to the training base today.

"I haven't seen you for so long. Your body seems to have grown stronger!"

After Wenger saw Saka, he couldn't help but said kindly.

Saka chuckled and said, "Professor, I better observe carefully. No one in our locker room noticed that I have grown stronger."

Wenger smiled and said: "This explanation is not enough, you kid must continue to work hard until everyone realizes how good you are!"

Saka nodded seriously, "No problem, Professor."

Wenger immediately chatted with Xhaka and told him not to lose his temper on the court in the future.

This made Xhaka a little embarrassed. Unexpectedly, the professor reminded me again when he came back.

"You came back just in time for the winter window!" Wenger couldn't help but sigh after seeing the equation, "Our current team cannot do without you. I firmly opposed the club to let you go at the beginning of the season. It’s a pity that I had already chosen to retire by then.”

Wenger shook his head and couldn't help but regret his choice at that time.

Otherwise, Arsenal may not have experienced the turmoil in the first half of the season.

Fang Fang said optimistically: "Professor, don't worry, now that I'm back, it will definitely help the team get back on track."

Wenger nodded, not doubting what Equation said at all.

"But Professor, are you really not coming back to teach in the future?" Fang Fang suddenly asked.

Wenger sighed,

He definitely wants to come back and coach the team again, but the situation no longer allows it.

"As long as you are here at Arsenal, there will be no problems. I will come back to see you often!"

Wenger had no choice but to encourage the players.

With the professor's words, the atmosphere in the locker room became more lively.

Afterwards, Wenger chatted with Arteta for a while, and by the time he left Arsenal's training base, it was almost noon.

After walking out of the training base, Wenger was caught by some reporters and media outside.

When asked what he thought of Arsenal's recent situation, Wenger, who was in a good mood, replied:
"I am optimistic about the future of the team. Although we have encountered many difficulties before, I believe Arsenal has returned to the right path!"

“Stay focused, keep working hard, and our results this season won’t be any worse!”

In the 22nd round of the Premier League, on January 1, Arsenal's opponent was Sheffield United.

On February 2, the opponent in the 4rd round was Manchester City, the number one player in the Premier League.

This schedule is still very challenging for Arsenal.

After all, there is only 4 days of rest between the two games.

Facing Manchester City with a strong lineup, this is still very challenging for Arsenal.

1 month 30 day,
Arsenal went away to play against Sheffield United.

Although the next round of the game is against Manchester City, Arsenal still only fielded the full lineup for this game.

After all, they are now at the critical moment of competing for the top four, so they naturally have to fight for every game.

As soon as the game started, the Arsenal players on the field quickly entered the state.

Three minutes later, Arsenal used a smooth kick to hit Sheffield United outside the penalty area.

After Fang Fang saw that there was no space in front of him, he suddenly took a long shot!

It's a pity that the football flew directly into the stands.
This made today's Premier League commentator Lineker exclaimed,
I almost thought there was a goal in the opening game.

"Arsenal is in good form today!"

"It seems that Professor Wenger's personal visit to the training base has played a big role in Arsenal!"

"Today's game is very important for them!"

"If they don't win today, they will have to face Manchester City in the next round!"

However, at the 5th minute,

After a confrontation, Martinez suddenly lay on the ground in pain, as if he could not continue to play.

The Arsenal players suddenly felt their hearts jumping into their throats.

Martinez's role on the court is second only to Saka and the captain. If he is injured today, what should he do in the next game?
Fortunately, the Arsenal team doctor came on stage. After examination, Martinez stood up again and could continue to play.

As the game progressed, Arsenal's offensive on the field became more and more powerful.

It was almost a turn against the visitors, keeping Sheffield United from getting out at halftime.

In the 7th minute, Arsenal got a corner kick opportunity, but because they didn't have many high points in the penalty area, they couldn't directly threaten Sheffield United's penalty area with a header.

In the 12th minute, there was a change of position between Fangfang and Saka. He sent a precise cross, and Xhaka inserted into the penalty area from behind.

He headed the ball, but the ball went wide of the goal!
Three minutes later, Arsenal got their third corner kick opportunity on the right.

This time, Martinez chose to take a tactical corner kick and swept the football to the right rib of the penalty area.
The flexible equation ran over, faced the football, and kicked it to the ground!

The football passed through the feet of many people in the penalty area in an instant.

However, Sheffield United goalkeeper Ramsdale quickly fell to the ground and blocked the football.

The home fans instantly burst into cheers.

With their defensive state today, there seems to be hope of winning against Arsenal.

In the 25th minute, Arsenal made a mistake in passing the ball in the frontcourt. Xhaka did not control the ball well outside the penalty area, and Norwood completed the steal!
Sheffield United instantly formed a counterattack opportunity!

Norwood kicked a long ball and found forward Burke directly.

Facing Arsenal defender Saliba, Burke was very confident and quickly broke through the ball.

Seeing that Burke was about to hit the goal,

Saliba decisively chose to block the opponent's goal space.

Coupled with goalkeeper Leno's attack,
Burke's shooting space became very limited.
The kicked football missed the crossbar and flew out of the field.

Although Sheffield United's counterattack almost scored a goal,

But Arsenal was not affected by this;

Seize the time in the first half,

The whole team continued to attack around Sheffield United's half.

In the 41st minute, Arsenal Equation retreated into the midfield. Faced with a defensive player behind him, he suddenly used his heel to skillfully play the ball.
The football instantly rolled into the penalty area,
Xhaka stepped in again and kicked out a fierce volley.
The football instantly flew into the lower right corner of the goal. The score is 0-1!

The Arsenal team, which had been attacking without opening up the situation, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and many fans watching the live broadcast also felt relieved.

Facing a deputy squad leader like Sheffield United, I am afraid that Arsenal will never be able to open up the situation.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In the 62nd minute, Sheffield United launched a counterattack, and Norwood sent a cross from the right.
Brewster and Burke in the penalty area jumped up to compete for the header at the same time.

But neither of them could touch a football,

The football fell directly outside the sideline.

In the 67th minute, when Sheffield United launched a fierce attack, Arsenal also gathered players in the midfield to strangle.

Then Thomas sent a long pass to the left wing.
Martinez, who was sprinting quickly, got a single chance.

But maybe it was affected by the injury in the first half.
His single shot was bravely blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper.
Arsenal missed a chance to extend their lead.

In the 87th minute, Sheffield United saw that it had not equalized the score, and they were unable to break through Arsenal's dense defense. Fleck had no choice but to force a long shot from outside the penalty area.

The football flew towards the goal with great force,

However, this did not test Leno's reaction, and he quickly saved the ball out of the penalty area!
After discovering that Sheffield United's counterattack was sluggish, Arsenal quickly gathered strength and regained the ball again, passing and controlling the football to slowly kill time.
After the decline in physical fitness, Sheffield United was no longer able to launch a counterattack and could only hear the referee's whistle.
The score is locked at 0-1!

Arsenal picked up another important three points on their way to the top four.

At least, there is no need to face the 23rd round match against Manchester City with fear.

Not only Manchester City and Arsenal take this game very seriously.

Even many sports media in England are predicting this game in advance.

After all, Arteta learned coaching experience at Guardiola's Manchester City.

In addition, Haaland has also played at Arsenal before.
It can be said that the two teams have a lot of intersections.
Therefore, this game is naturally full of many highlights.

After training today,
Fang Fang came home from work and had nothing to do, so he made an appointment online with Haaland, Saka, and Foden to play Escape from Tarkov.

While playing, they inevitably talked about the game in a few days.
"Speaking of which, you are still playing against us at home, and you are still ranked first. Do you want to give in to us then?" Fang Fang joked to Harland.

As soon as Harland heard this, he answered through his headset: "Why don't you give in? Former captain, don't be kidding me. I have already encountered a goal drought, and many people have already questioned my level."

Foden smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? You are still the top scorer in the Premier League. Are you still worried about losing your main position?"

Haaland was not angry, "But the problem is, my former captain asked me to give in to them."

Fang Fang laughed and said: "Don't worry, I'm just joking. But you can break the goal drought in other games. Now that you meet us, don't perform too well, otherwise others will think there is some conflict between us!" "

"."

Harland was almost speechless;
I never thought the former captain could be so humorous
Saka also said: "Yes, yes, in other games you can score goals and explode hard, but when playing against us, remember not to hit too hard."

Harland could only smile helplessly.

I feel like his group of friends are too damaged.

It was obvious that he was experiencing a goal drought, but instead of comforting him, he kept teasing him.

"Okay, okay, I will transfer directly back to Arsenal another day, is that okay?" Haaland had no choice but to joke along with what everyone said.

Fang Fang chuckled and said, "That won't work. Your current net worth and annual salary are too high. Even if you pay out of your own pocket, we can't afford to support you."

Haaland said helplessly: "Really? But, why do I feel that you, the former captain, really want to see me return to Arsenal at my own expense?"

Saka suddenly smiled, "Actually, it's not just the captain, but I also think so~"

Harland: "No, I can't keep talking to you. Foden, hurry up and run with me. We can make a lot of money in the game!"

Foden laughed, but deliberately emphasized: "Don't worry Harland, I will never tell the coach what I said today!"

"."

Harland was speechless;

It felt like I had met a group of double agents.

But in private, everyone was naturally teasing them casually and did not take these words to heart.

It’s February 2th,
Manchester City vs Arsenal.

Fang Fang attended the pre-match press conference and was asked by reporters what he thought of the match with his former teammate Haaland.

Equation no longer joked like in the game that day, but said seriously:
"Recently, many people are saying that Haaland has encountered a goal drought and that there is a problem with his game state. In fact, I don't think so. In my opinion, Haaland has the strength of one of the top four centers in the Premier League. He He can provide a lot of help to Manchester City. He can also create a lot of threats in the frontcourt. No Premier League team dares to underestimate his strength."

"So, we will not make the mistake of underestimating Haaland. Of course, Manchester City's other players are also very good, and it is not just Haaland that we need to pay attention to!"

Later, almost the same rhetoric also appeared in Guardiola’s mouth,
Guardiola also praised Arsenal highly before the game, saying that Arsenal are still in the championship ranks, especially after the return of the captain, Arsenal's condition is very hot, and they will be careful to restrict Arsenal in the game. Na's core players
Wait until the game starts,

The two sides immediately broke out into a fierce fight in the midfield.

However, in the face of Arsenal's rapid attack, Manchester City relied on its strong lineup and did not make any mistakes.
In the third minute, De Bruyne showed excellent footwork.
A long pass with both power and precision instantly opened up Arsenal's attack.

Haaland quickly moved forward and caught the pass on the right side of the frontcourt.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper Leno,
He picked the ball decisively!

This is an excellent opportunity to score!

However, Haaland's kick hit the goal, but it was slightly higher than the crossbar.
Blue Moon fans immediately held their heads and sighed.

Manchester City's attack made Arsenal aware of the difficulty of today's game.

The whole team was even more energetic.

Three minutes later, the equation in the frontcourt responded to Manchester City with an amazing pass.

Football found Saka cutting inside the penalty area,

He turned around to catch the ball smartly, and then made a powerful and heavy shot.

However, the football was also higher than the goal and failed to pose an effective threat!

Just when the two sides were fighting back and forth,
Suddenly, De Bruyne launched an attack with another diagonal pass.
The football flew towards Arsenal's defense like a precision guide.

Sane was keenly aware of this change.

He quickly stepped in and caught the long pass.

He decisively passed the football into the penalty area.
Arsenal's defensive line suddenly had a big hole!

Facing the football, Haaland, who was grabbing the ball, pushed the ball without hesitation.
The score is 1-0! Manchester City took the lead to break the deadlock!

The whole Arsenal team showed their helplessness at this time.
Unexpectedly, Haaland broke the goal drought in the game against them. (End of chapter)
