The new season of the Premier League was a bit crazy.
It was as if there was a massacre every round.
And it was not only the powerhouses who were slaughterers. The other teams in the middle and lower levels were also crazily bloodthirsty.
In the seventh round of the league, Fulham created a massacre of 6: 0 against Queens Park Rangers!
The fans were naturally addicted to watching, but the experts were beginning to not understand the Premier League.
It seemed that the Premier League games were more unpredictable.
Manchester City beat the violent Blackburn Rovers by 4: 0 in the away game. Their momentum was swift.
Manchester United beat Norwich City by 2: 0 at Old Trafford. Their performance was also steady.
Chelsea continued to win heartily at the Reebok Stadium. After winning 4: 1 in the last round, they won 5: 1 in the away game in this round.
Only Arsenal suffered a 1: 2 defeat in the same city derby and went to White Hart Lane!
The new season was less than two months old. The news about Arsenal only needed to be changed a little.
The worst in 29, the worst in 37, and the worst in the Premier League. Anyway, compared to the same period in history, Arsenal was always breaking the bottom line. It made people think about how many years ago they could see such a bad Gunner team with such a bad record.
People could not help but link Wenger's recent remarks in an interview with Arsenal's current record.
Last Friday, Wenger celebrated his fifteenth anniversary in the Gunners. When it came to future development, the professor said that his ambition had not changed. That was to make Arsenal the best club in the world.
Arsenal had not won a major title for five years, but Wenger said that the goal of making the Gunners the best in the world would not change.
"The long-term goal is to make Arsenal the best club in the world. It's that simple," Wenger said.
"We have to continue to uphold the values we think are important. I'm very proud of that. We will continue to work hard to do so."
When asked how long it would take to achieve the goal of making Arsenal the best club in the world, Wenger said, "I hope to achieve it in my lifetime. You may say to me that I have to live very long. I don't know. I want to do my best because only the best is an acceptable goal. If I can't achieve it, I will feel very sorry. Just like how we didn't start the season well, it's disappointing, but we have to keep going. "
When Wenger first took over Arsenal in 1996, he did not think that he could last for fifteen years.
"At that time, I thought that if I was lucky, I might be able to last for a week or two. I don't know. I had the same mentality back then as I do now. I just want to do a good job and see if it's effective and if we can win. Any manager who comes to a team will do the same. "
"I'm very lucky to be able to spend fifteen years at Arsenal. I live for the present and the future, so I don't like to look back. History is used to improve. I feel lucky and grateful to be able to be at Arsenal for so long."
Seven rounds of the new Premier League season had already been played. Arsenal had two wins, one draw, and four losses, and only had seven points. They were 12 points behind the Manchester duo at the top of the table, and five points behind Tottenham Hotspur, who were one game short. However, they were only two points above the relegation zone!
The last time Arsenal only had seven points in the opening seven rounds was in the 197475 season. In that season, Arsenal's final ranking was 16th!
Tottenham Hotspur, who were currently one game short, only needed to win the make-up game against Everton at home to catch up with Newcastle United, who were currently in fifth place, in terms of points.
Moreover, Tottenham Hotspur had already played against the four powerhouses, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal in the first six games. They had passed the most difficult stage of the first half of the season. After purchasing strong reinforcements such as Scott Parker and Adebayor, they had won four consecutive games. Their momentum was at its peak, and they were aiming for a place in the Champions League.
After Arsenal's crushing defeat to Liverpool and Manchester United, they had been determined to not have the strength to compete for the title. Their more pragmatic goal was to return to the Champions League, which was to compete for the top four!
However, after losing to Tottenham Hotspur in the seventh round, this goal seemed to be in jeopardy!
The seventh round of matches was over.
The two heroes of Manchester led the scoreboard together with 19 points.
Chelsea was in second place with 16 points.
Liverpool had 14 points.
Arsenal had 7 points.
.....
The day of the FIFA match had arrived, and the national footballers from various countries rushed to the national team's stadium.
Qin Xiong packed up and returned to Asia.
Every time Qin Xiong returned to China, he could see a large number of Chinese fans greeting him at the airport. As a national sports idol, his superhuman popularity in China had always been high, and as he gained more and more honors, his popularity grew.
After joining the national team in Beijing, Qin Xiong was often asked by his teammates to pass on their game experience and tips when he was training with the national team.
Qin Xiong was very happy to do so. With his personal success, he had created a lasting football craze in China's football world.
With China's leadership paying attention to football and reforming it, the atmosphere and situation in China's football world were also getting better year by year.
On October 11, China's team faced Iraq, their opponent in the third stage of the third stage of the world's Asian qualifiers, at home in Tianjin.
Iraq, their old rival, was particularly cautious in their away game and put all their energy into defense.
China's team had a very difficult battle, and Qin Xiong was restricted by the opponent's key marking.
He took the initiative to create opportunities for his teammates in the game.
Although Yang Xu missed opportunities one after another, the full back Zhang Linpeng suddenly charged into the penalty area in the second half to change the score.
China's team defeated Iraq 1: 0 at home. If they could get a good result in the next game against Iraq at home, then China's team would advance to the top ten of the world's Asian qualifiers in advance.
Qin Xiong immediately returned to England after the game.
Liverpool and Manchester United were extremely dissatisfied with the English Premier League's arrangement.
But the English Football Association did not give them any face and put the English derby after the FIFA match day.
In the eighth round of the English Premier League, Liverpool would play the Red Devils and Manchester United at Anfield.
The English Football Association still had a conscience and arranged the game to be the last game of the round.
This would allow Manchester United and Liverpool's players to rest for an extra day.
The fans were looking forward to the weekend's finale between Liverpool and Manchester United before the other English Premier League games started one after another.
Manchester City took the lead in defeating visitors Aston Villa 4: 1 at the Etihad Stadium.
Chelsea followed by sending off The Toffees Everton 3: 1 at Stamford Bridge.
Even Arsenal won the game at the Emirates Stadium, beating the Black Cats Sunderland 2: 1.
Newcastle United drew with Tottenham Hotspur at home. All nine games in the English Premier League round were over, leaving only the English derby between the Red Devils and the Red Army!
With Liverpool's success in England and Europe in the past two seasons, the English derby received increasing attention year by year. It was reported that the first English derby of the season would be broadcast live in more than 200 countries or regions, and the audience was expected to exceed 500 million viewers!
