Although the situation for the Premier League title was very clear and the champion would definitely be between Arsenal and Chelsea, there was a challenger to the Big 4's monopoly of the top four in the Premier League.
A team that was fourth from the bottom in the Premier League last season and narrowly avoided relegation: Everton!
Under Moyes's painstaking management, Everton actually ranked fourth in the Premier League at the end of the season, squeezing their arch-rival Liverpool into the fifth position behind them.
In the 34th round of the Premier League, Everton rushed to Highbury with a monstrous murderous aura to challenge Arsenal in an away game.
Although they played an ugly and dull game at Stamford Bridge in the previous round, they were still able to suppress Chelsea in the Premier League. This positively stimulated the morale of Arsenal's team and made everyone cheer up and focus on the Premier League title.
Qin Xiong was an obedient patient. When his personal doctor and team doctor warned him to try to reduce his energy consumption in the game and reduce his outbursts to avoid injuries, he remembered the doctor's instructions.
In a field that he did not understand, he would naturally listen to the advice of the professionals. They were not harming him and were doing it for his own good. There was no need to use any fighting spirit and fighting spirit as a reason to be willful. He still had to look at the long-term and could not sacrifice his future career for the pursuit of short-term interests.
On a sunny afternoon, Qin Xiong appeared in Arsenal's starting lineup. He could play, but he could not fight and consume energy like before. If that was the case, Wenger would also listen to the team doctor's advice and only give Qin Xiong no more than 60 minutes of game time to reduce his chances of injury.
Moyes, who was also a young manager, had a good aura. He stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed over his chest. However, he was wearing sportswear and looked different from Wenger, who was a manager in a suit.
"The 34th round of the Premier League starts today. In Highbury, Arsenal welcomes the fourth-ranked team in the Premier League, Everton. Everton's performance this season under Moyes's leadership has been really eye-catching. You must know that Everton was a team that avoided relegation last season. Their improvement this season is simply a magical leap!
This game is a crucial battle for both Arsenal and Everton. Arsenal wants to compete with Chelsea for the title and cannot afford to lose any game. Everton wants to maintain their lead over Liverpool to qualify for the Champions League. They cannot afford to lose either! "
Moyes, who looked serious, was filled with lofty aspirations!
He led the team to Highbury with the ambition to "kill the king"!
Everton's performance this season made him full of confidence. He had just led Everton to defeat Manchester United in the last round!
Coupled with Arsenal's recent exhaustion from the series of big battles, Moyes believed that this was the best time for Everton to topple the defending champions!
At the start of the game, Moyes waved his hand on the sidelines and ordered Everton to launch a fierce offensive against Arsenal!
He wanted Arsenal to collapse under Everton's unrestrained and fierce offensive!
The ambitious and even ferocious Moyes watched the game with his eyes wide open. He wanted to see Arsenal being crushed by Everton with his own eyes!
"Vieira successfully intercepted the ball from Cahill's feet! Everton's immediate offensive at the start of the game did not succeed! "
After Vieira intercepted the ball, he passed the ball directly to the front.
Qin Xiong ran forward just past the half of the field. The football rolled from behind. Everton's midfield was clearly pressing forward. In less than two meters, Qin Xiong would encounter the opposing midfielder, Gravesen.
When the football rolled from Qin Xiong's side, Gravesen moved his leg to intercept. However, Qin Xiong premeditated and lightly poked the ball first. The football rolled between Gravesen's legs.
Qin Xiong directly rushed past Gravesen's side. He found that the field of vision in front of him was very wide.
Everton's defensive line was too far forward!
At this moment, they retreated and were a little flustered.
Qin Xiong decisively kicked the ball out of his instep and sent it straight out.
The football quickly bypassed the center back, Jabo, and spun towards the middle after bouncing on the ground!
Jabo only realized that Qin Xiong's ball was passed to Henry after he retreated and turned 270 degrees on the spot!
When there was more space, the more obvious the arc of Qin Xiong's pass was, the more confusing it was!
Henry directly reversed the offside position and successfully shook off Everton's defensive line. He single-handedly charged into the penalty area and directly kicked the goal. The football flew straight to the top left corner of the goal!
"The ball is in! Twenty-six seconds into the game! Arsenal scored a lightning goal! Henry scored his 30th league goal of the season! It's Qin Xiong's assist again! Are the two of them cheating? "
Moyes was dumbfounded on the sidelines!
This, this, this …
They've f * cking scored?!
He was not reconciled and continued to order Everton to attack wildly.
Arsenal actually wanted to play the game in a stable manner.
After all, there were only five games left in the league.
They themselves did not want to bring down the rhythm!
So, after the start of the game, they focused on stability and let their teammates get into the rhythm of the game, and then burst out in stages to suppress their opponents.
But they did not expect Everton to be here to give them warmth today. Not only did he attack wildly, but he also dared to counterattack on the spot. The defensive line was a little far from the penalty area, giving Arsenal players space to reverse the offside position!
Just after Everton's midfield organization was successfully intercepted by Silva in the backfield, Arsenal attacked again.
Qin Xiong ran to the left side of the front field and observed the situation in front of him without anyone marking him. Then, he used his right foot to kick an outside instep curveball.
The football flew diagonally from the left side of the front field into the penalty area. With a strong external spin, the football bypassed behind Everton's two center backs. Ljungberg cut inside from the right side and used his chest to pass the ball forward. Then, he formed a single blade and directly volleyed the ball. It was still in the top left corner of the goal, and the football went into the net!
"Three minutes into the game! Everton is two goals behind! "
Moyes was petrified on the sidelines …
What is going on in the game?!
How can Arsenal hit a goal every time!
Qin Xiong looked at Everton's players inexplicably as he walked back slowly.
It was not that Arsenal played too well, but Everton's attitude today was destined to make Arsenal's attack success rate higher!
If every opponent dared to rush out and fight with Arsenal, the defensive line would be further away from the goal, giving Arsenal's forward line space to reverse the offside position. Then, Arsenal would not be afraid of any opponent! Any! Including Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan, and other top European teams.
Because Arsenal's penetrating pass and cut offense needed space the most. In terms of sprinting speed, they were super strong as a whole.
Moyes was a little confused.
Everton's players also felt that the game was completely out of their control. Not only did their established tactics before the game not work, but they also allowed Arsenal to score two goals in a row. This was a f * * king nightmare!
They were wavering, and the team's thoughts began to split.
While they were panicking, Arsenal played the offense they were good at step by step.
Qin Xiong, Pires, and Vieira formed a triangular pass in the front field. Then Qin Xiong ran to the right side, and after completing a one-two pass with Ljungberg, he rushed into the penalty area. In the penalty area, he crossed to the middle of the goal, and Henry wrapped up in the position and sent the ball directly into the goal.
Moyes had already broken down on the sidelines!
"Five minutes and 17 seconds into the game, Arsenal leads Everton by 3: 0! Henry scored twice, and Qin Xiong created a magical record, completing a hat-trick of assists in 317 seconds! He is not the king of assists, he is not the king of assists, he is simply the demon king of assists! "
