After returning to the league, Arsenal immediately faced a dense schedule.
Of course, after sending his girlfriend to school, Lei Yu was already ready for all this.
On January 9, Arsenal faced Southampton at home.
The Saints and the Gunners have a good relationship, and Arsenal, who just returned to London with the trophy, did not kill anyone.
Lei Yu opened the scoring and Giroud expanded the score.
The score of 2-0 was maintained until the end. Wenger was very satisfied with the performance of his players - while winning, there were not too many rash advances.
On January 12, Arsenal played an FA Cup match against Swansea away from home.
Unfortunately, the Gunners, who played semi-mainly, played their opponents 1-1 in the 90th minute.
According to the rules of the Football Association, if the game is tied, a make-up game will be made.
As a result, the professor's head becomes bigger.
On January 15, the Gunners faced Newcastle Magpies in the league.
Maybe it's because of the FA Cup tie last time out.
Facing powerful opponents in the middle and upper reaches of the league, Arsenal played aggressive football.
In this game, Lei Yu scored 4 goals, and Giroud, Cazorla and Arteta also scored one goal each.
The Gunners scored seven goals, but the Magpies only scored three.
This offensive battle made the fans excited and screaming.
look!
Our Arsenal is indeed invincible!
You can win just by attacking!
Three days later, while other league teams were resting, Arsenal was still playing in the cup.
This time it was the semi-finals of the League Cup, and Arsenal's opponent was Birmingham.
Since the League Cup semi-finals were divided into two games, home and away, Arsenal played home first and then away.
Therefore, in this home game, while the professor adopted a large-scale rotation tactic, he also arranged Lei Yu as the starter.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Just settle the battle at your home court and that's it!
Sure enough, in the first three minutes, Lei Yu's explosive shot from outside the penalty area broke through the Birmingham goal.
Before that, Lei Yu escaped horizontally and passed three opponents in a row.
Three minutes later, it was Lei Yu who broke through again and rushed into the penalty area.
Birmingham players knocked Lei Yu down twice in a row, but Lei Yu got up and continued dribbling the ball.
After Lei Yu got up for the second time, he directly swept his right leg into the far corner and hit the ball into the goal.
The score of 2-0 obviously cannot satisfy the Gunners and Lei Yu.
Only 5 minutes later, Lei Yu received a pass from Santos in the penalty area and blocked it with his foot, once again helping the team widen the point difference.
After completing the hat trick in the first half, the professor took Lei Yu off the field at halftime with a satisfied look on his face.
As long as the score is maintained in the second half, there is no need to bring Lei Yu in the second away game.
In the end, the Gunners won Birmingham 3-0 at home and won the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals.
On January 21st, the Gunners played away at Stoke City.
In this game, Wenger also made a lot of rotations, and even Lei Yu sat on the bench.
If Stoke City had not won the Gunners by one goal at home, I am afraid that Wenger would not have played Lei Yu in the second half.
It would be okay if this was a tie, since the unbeaten record would continue anyway.
But if you lose, it’s really not worth it!
Lei Yu, who was called in at the critical moment, did not disappoint Wenger and the female gun fans who had prepared their underwear in the stands.
As soon as he touched the ball, he caused huge trouble to the opponent's defense with his hard break.
After touching the ball for the fourth time, Lei Yu continued to score and finally broke through the opponent's goal.
1-0, Arsenal’s winning streak continues!
Seeing this, the media once again criticized the Gunners' strong dominance and Lei Yu's incomprehensible performance.
So far this season, the Gunners have lost just one game in the Champions League.
Such a record is too terrible!
the most important is.
After a long journey, Lei Yu's condition is still so strong!
Other players are more or less injured, and even if they play one game a week, they are overwhelmed.
But what about Lei Yu?
Two games a week and it's still full of energy.
According to the information gathered from the gossip, Lei Yu uses an "abstinent" method to maintain his combat power.
Good guy!
In order to win, he won’t even touch women!
This is something most stars can't do!
However, amid all the public opinion advocating that Arsenal were undefeated, the Gunners finally lost.
The Gunners lost 1-2 to Birmingham City, who wanted to advance to the League Cup final.
In this game, the professor didn't even bring Lei Yu to the away game, let alone substitute him on the field.
The Birmingham players cried bitterly after winning the game, because even if they won, it would not help the final result.
They lost too much to the Gunners away from home!
Hey Hey hey!
Damn Arsenal!
You are so powerful, why are you trying to win a "Mickey Mouse Cup" with small teams like us?
Is this interesting?
In the eyes of Premier League fans.
The Gunners should put all their focus on winning the league.
Letting small events like the League Cup affect the pace is definitely the Gunners' biggest failure.
Why not give up the small League Cup to your opponent?
But the result was that the Gunners finally made it to the final.
On January 30, the Gunners faced their last opponent this month, Sunderland.
After this game, the Gunners will usher in the real climax of the devil's schedule.
So even though Lei Yu had rested in the last League Cup game, the professor didn't dare to use it.
A simple 1-0 ended the game.
Lei Yu didn't even get an assist.
Time has just entered February, and the Gunners are ushering in the make-up rounds of the FA Cup.
Facing Swansea at home this time, the Gunners suffered a painful blow.
The reason for the ruthless attack was not that we were tied with our opponent in the away game in the last round.
But the opponent in this League Cup final is none other than Swansea!
Since I didn’t win you in the first round, don’t even think about it in the second round!
Practice your hands first in the FA Cup.
Wait for the League Cup, I will overthrow you again!
Swansea, who came to the Emirates Stadium, seemed to know what the Gunners were planning.
But they did not surrender to their fate.
Use a "Chelsea-style" bus to face Arsenal's crazy attack.
After half-time, the score miraculously remained unchanged.
This makes the Magpies, who lost 4 goals to the Gunners, absolutely convinced that the Gunners let their guard down.
But Arsenal is in trouble.
Ramsey and Arteta were both on the bench.
Both of them had minor injuries more or less.
Without these two people supporting him from behind, Lei Yu's attack would have been extremely difficult.
I wanted to torture my opponent, but unexpectedly I encountered a huge hedgehog and I had no idea what to say!
Watching time pass by minute by minute.
The opponent's ideas and tactics are clearly revealed!
It means dragging the game into overtime or even a penalty shootout.
What Arsenal are most afraid of right now is not losing, but prolonging the game!
At the last moment, God Lei Yu came down to earth.
After retreating to the midfield to receive the ball, Lei Yu kept wandering back and forth in the middle and did not seem to be in a hurry to attack.
After passing six defenders who were randomly attacking, Lei Yu suddenly launched a cold arrow 40 meters outside the opponent's penalty area.
The Swansea goalkeeper flew out, but the ball without any spin changed its direction halfway and flew in the opposite direction.
The goalkeeper, who had thrown away his center of gravity, stretched his arms helplessly, but still did not prevent the ball from entering the net.
1-0, Arsenal advanced to the next round of the FA Cup at the last moment.
In an interview after the game, faced with doubts from the audience, Wenger gave a strong answer to support his role as the leading actress.
"So what if Ray doesn't score?"
"Should we let them drag the game into overtime and then a penalty shootout?"
"Or do you want us Arsenal to play match-fixing and deliberately lose to the opponent?"
Seeing the professor say all this, the reporters in the audience fell silent.
It is common to give up cup competitions for the sake of the league.
But it has to be when the opponent can score!
Swansea were determined to defend this game to the end.
Not to mention scoring goals, there were only a few shots on goal.
If Arsenal doesn't hurry up and win the game within 90 minutes, why not leave their opponents at home to eat dumplings?
As for whether the schedule after promotion to the FA Cup will become a burden for the Gunners.
Then it depends on Arsenal's performance next.
In any case, within this month, the Gunners have won every match every three days, which is really admirable.
You know, the players from the second team of the Gunners basically spent time with the first team during this period!
