1268 Change of Situation
The 12th round of the Premier League kicked off in mid-November. Liverpool continued their good momentum and defeated Wigan Athletic 2-0 away.
Chelsea beat Fulham 1-0 at home.
Arsenal beat Wolves 2-0 away.
And the most watched of this round is the Manchester derby!
Manchester City played against the Red Devils Manchester United at home.
After 90 minutes of fierce battle, the two teams reached a goalless draw 0:0 and shook hands!
The Red Devils Manchester United paid the price of the injury of two generals and finally failed to score 3 points.
Liverpool topped the list with 32 points, followed by Chelsea with 28 points, Arsenal's 22 points and Manchester United's 21 points have opened a double-digit gap with the top Liverpool!
The Premier League is driving fast this week, and the 12th round will follow three days after the 3th round.
Under the pressure of the schedule, the traditional BIG4 giants who have to take into account the European war have not performed well.
Manchester United took the lead in a thrilling draw with Aston Villa at Villa Park.
Before the 80 minutes of the game, Manchester United fell behind by two goals. If it weren't for the two saves by the goal frame, the score would have been 3:0 or 4:0. Scored two goals in 80 minutes to tie the score, and fortunately took away 5 point away.
Arsenal performed well at Goodison Park. After taking a two-goal lead early, they were not pulled back by Everton until the last moment, and finally played triumphantly in the away game 2:1 without any risk.
When Liverpool came on the field, Liverpool was shocked in the away game.
In the game where he challenged the "City of the Sky" Stoke City as a guest, Qin Xiong felt muscle discomfort after colliding with his opponent in the 11th minute of the game and was replaced. There have been many battles, and Qin Xiong is the team's offensive center of gravity. In this fast-moving game, especially against Stoke City, which has the advantage of physical confrontation, Qin Xiong's unexpected injury and retirement made the Red Army fans fall into endless confusion. in panic.
Stoke City lowered their face at home and played a defensive counterattack, and played high and finally defeated the defending champion Liverpool 2:0 at home with a counterattack cross and a high-altitude ball bombing from a set kick!
Raul's performance in this game also declined significantly. He, who has been playing in La Liga before, may not really appreciate the terrifying pressure of the intensive Premier League schedule until November.
After the game, Fleet Street scrambled to pay attention to Qin Xiong's physical condition, but Qin Xiong left calmly on the bus without saying a word and did not accept an interview.
He needs rest and recuperation without the distraction of others.
I thought that the loss of the Red Army would give Chelsea a chance to shorten the gap.
But I didn't expect the Blues to be more surprising than the Reds. Liverpool was upset in the away game anyway.
Chelsea lost 0:3 directly at the feet of the black cat Sunderland at home!
If it weren't for Cech's high resistance, I'm afraid Chelsea will lose even worse at home!
After 13 rounds, just over 1/3 of the schedule, Liverpool still lead the standings with 32 points, Chelsea 28 points, Arsenal 25 points to come from behind, Manchester United 22 points, at least one point closer to the top of the list.
Keman gave Qin Xiong a two-day vacation to recuperate at home, and he would not be arranged to play in the weekend game. The master and apprentice settled everything on the phone, and Qin Xiong also understood that Koman was doing it for his own good. .
What's more, Liverpool has already fought the championship opponents before the 12th round, and there is no tough battle in the recent schedule.
At this time, Torres announced his comeback, and Aurelio will continue to recover from his injuries. Due to his age, Carragher's recovery speed is not ideal. It is expected that he will not be able to return to the team until January next year.
The 14th round of the Premier League kicked off.
The North London Derby took the lead.
Arsenal's 2:3 loss to neighbors Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium became big news that shocked England.
With Arsenal leading by two goals, Van der Vaart and Bale of Tottenham teamed up to stage a reversal triple combo!
Wenger was all smiles when he led by two goals, but after the team was reversed, he smashed a mineral water bottle on the coach's bench like crazy!
During stoppage time, Wenger became even more hysterical. He squatted on the sidelines, and when he saw Arsenal's attack blocked, he even patted his hands on the turf, beating his chest and feet, and crying. Lost 2 to 3!
After the game, the Frenchman was still a little reconciled: "Looking at the statistics, it is difficult to understand how we lost. Today we are always in a position to win. This result is too difficult to swallow."
When Wenger first came to the Premier League, he was called "Professor", which meant that he was personable, but in this game, the Frenchman did not see the elegance at all. In fact, the Arsenal coach has been like other coaches for the past two years. , used to go crazy on the sidelines.
Tottenham manager Redknapp Sr. once commented: "When Arsene Wenger first came to the Premier League, I remember reading articles that he acted like a professor on the sidelines and all the other madmen were there. Jumping up and down, yelling, but Wenger was not like them, he just sat there, watching everything on the pitch, like playing chess. Back then, Arsenal didn’t lose very much.”
"Now Wenger is one of the madmen too, and one of the biggest madmen! That's the pressure you have and it's affecting Wenger now, he's not sitting still anymore, he's there Arguing with everyone."
In the past few years, with the accumulation of zero championship pressure, Wenger's temper has become more and more serious. He and former Tottenham coach Joel and former West Ham coach Pardew have fought on the sidelines, and even almost fought. The professor who "plays chess" on the sidelines is gone, and replaced by today's mad man. In fact, the old Redknapp's words summed up a lot of things. When Wenger was like a professor, Arsenal didn't lose much. period, and now that the team's performance is not satisfactory, the French will naturally have more troubles.
The north London derby seems to make this round of the Premier League doomed not to end peacefully.
It is no surprise that the Red Devils Manchester United won Wigan Athletic 2-0 at home.
In the absence of Qin Xiong and the return of Torres, Liverpool's 2-0 victory over West Ham United at Anfield with the goals of Gerrard and Kevin Dirk is also a normal result.
However, Chelsea was defeated by Birmingham 0:1 away!
In the past four Premier League games, Chelsea's record of 1 win and 3 losses made a piece of news spread throughout England in less than three hours after the game!
"Sky Gambling" adjusted the odds of Ancelotti's dismissal from the original 10/1 to 6/4 in just three hours. The change is amazing!
Fleet Street quickly revealed that Chelsea had terminated the contract renewal negotiations with Ancelotti!
The current Chelsea suddenly fell into chaos and turmoil. First, the assistant coach Wilkins was accidentally kicked out, and then after the defeat at Anfield, the team lost 0-3 at home to Sunderland inexplicably, and now they lost to Birmingham. The league has lost two games in a row, and the season has not yet passed halfway. Chelsea has lost 4 games in the league. You must know that such a performance is a sign that they are getting farther and farther away from the championship!
Looking at the standings, Liverpool have 35 points, Chelsea 28 points, Arsenal and Manchester United both have 25 points.
Chelsea don't say that they will compete with Liverpool for the championship. It seems that even the No.2 position is in danger of being lost!
It's no wonder that Chelsea's top management began to have the idea of choosing another talent. (To be continued~^~.)
