Chapter 263 Carrying the team forward

After winning West Brom, Arsenal has won five consecutive games in the league, and has unknowingly surpassed Southampton to return to the second place in the league. Even the gap with Chelsea, which is the first, is shrinking.

Chelsea drew with Sunderland, with only 4 points left in the gap between Arsenal and Chelsea, Chelsea scored 34 points in the 13th round, while Arsenal came to 30 with a five-game winning streak.

Arsenal's lineup is the worst among several Premier League giants at present, which no one can deny, and even a fact recognized by the Premier League. In addition, Arsenal has never stopped having any injuries during this period.

But even so, Arsenal still achieved an amazing winning streak, constantly shrinking its points with Chelsea at the top. All of this is based on Li Shou's outstanding performance.

If someone had thought that a good goalkeeper could stand on half of the team before was a bit exaggerated, then this sentence is now fully reflected in Li Shou. Even Li Shou is no longer "heading" half of the team, he is almost carrying Arsenal forward...

Currently, there have been 13 rounds in the Premier League, and Arsenal has won a total of nine games. Eight of these games are the games that Li Shou won by the starter, while other games that Arsenal lost or draws have nothing to do with Li Shou.

This is not all. Arsenal's five-game winning streak in the Champions League group stage not only firmly sits first in the group, but has not conceded the ball yet. If Li Shou can again win the opponent in the sixth round, he will set a record, with zero conced in the Champions League group stage.

What's more, Li Shou did not just guard the goal in the Champions League. Li Shou was also attacking and helping the team. In addition to the counterattack he created, Li Shou also used a free kick opportunity to score two goals for Arsenal.

With this series of outstanding performances, Li Shou has truly gained a foothold in Arsenal and gained a foothold in European football. Now Li Shou can be said to be a real star.

At the same time, it also made other giant teams regret it. Although the league has only passed one-third, Li Shou's performance is enough to make everyone realize that the Chinese goalkeeper who set a record in Ligue 1 last season was not a flash in the pan. He is really outstanding, and even the outstanding ones are incredible.

Li Shouyi played a total of 13 complete games for Arsenal. In these thirteen games, Li Shou has not lost a goal. Arsenal has only 19 games so far this season. In the five games without Li Shou’s start, Arsenal’s record is one win, two draws and two losses.

In one of the league games, Li Shou did not finish it because he was sent out with a red card. This game was finally collected by a draw. After Li Shou was sent out with a red card, Arsenal quickly conceded the ball and finally had to get a draw.

Now, the whole of England is waiting for Li Shou's first goal loss. Not only the media participated, but also the fans, and even the gambling companies are involved.

Now, the bookmakers opened the market again. In the 14th round of the league, Arsenal will usher in Southampton at home. Although Southampton has sold a lot of people this summer, its performance has been pretty good so far this season, and even surpassed Arsenal to climb to the second place in the league.

I have to say that Southampton's scouts have a really good vision. At this point, Arsenal is far from comparable. Recently, I heard that Southampton seems to have fallen in love with the Dutch central defender Van Dijk recommended to Wenger by Li Shou.

After the 13th round of the league ended, time passed October 1 and December, which means how long it has been since the winter break transfer period, but in the situation with Arsenal, Wenger seems to have not made up his mind to buy whom.

Signings on the back line are imminent, because the competition in the second half of the season will be more intense, and Arsenal's central defender is reserved. If it is not signed, it will be difficult to survive the second half of the season.

There is actually no need to worry about Wenger. If you can't play, you will grit your teeth and buy both of them. Anyway, there are only two Arsenal central defenders, and buying them will only meet the standards if you buy them again. Four central defenders in a team are standard.

Moreover, the two combined are only more than 30 million, and the actual amount of money is not much for Arsenal. Of course, if you consider Arsenal's miserable boss, it's still a bit too much.

The defensive line signing is a tug-of-war, but the 14th round of the league is coming soon. Although Arsenal does not have a Champions League task this mid-week, it still has double games in one week.

Southampton has a good record and is still ahead of Arsenal in the past two rounds. Although he has been overtaken by Arsenal now, Arsenal cannot be taken lightly.

Because Arsenal led by Wenger fell behind in the record against Koeman's team, Wenger only won one game in the first seven matches with Koeman. To be honest, the only one who can make Wenger so frustrated is Koeman.

However, in terms of historical records, Arsenal still has the advantage in facing Southampton, especially at home games. The last time Arsenal lost to Southampton at home is still more than 30 years ago, when there was no Premier League.

Putting aside historical record, the match between Arsenal and Southampton is also hailed as the strongest shield game of the Premier League this season, because the two teams are the goals with the lowest goals conceded by the Premier League at present.

After the first thirteen rounds, Arsenal conceded a total of 8 goals, while Southampton was one more by Arsenal. However, one thing needs to be clear, that is, Arsenal's 8 goals conceded had nothing to do with Li Shou.

This data once again reflects the importance of Li Shou to Arsenal. The reason why Arsenal conceded at least is not because of its outstanding performance in the back line, but because Li Shou's performance is too outrageous.

In addition, there is a very interesting data, but it is not a good thing for Arsenal, that is, the number of yellow cards in the two teams. Southampton is the team with the fewest cards in the Premier League, while Arsenal is the team with the most.

In fact, this also reflects Arsenal's defense problems. When they cannot defend their opponents, Arsenal players can only choose to use fouls to prevent their opponents.

In the game against Southampton, Wenger made another adjustment in the starting lineup, Giroud returned to the bench, and the injured French center still needs some time to adapt and regain its form, while Sanchez and Griezmann, who were on the bench in the last round, returned to the starting lineup.

Weirbeck continued to start, and the Blacks were in good health. In addition, Weirbeck scored another in the last round, which made Wenger look forward to him.

This is Weirbeck, but when everyone is disappointed with him, he scores the goal, but after the goal, he has expectations and returns to the "no goal" state.

Wenger is very complicated when dealing with Welbeck, and even Arsenal fans are in a similar mood to Wenger, which means they are both disappointed and hopeful.
