, the latest chapter is updated the fastest!

Arsenal beat Manchester United twice this season, which makes the Gunners feel very happy.

Although Manchester United has declined a bit, this is Manchester United after all, the team that has repeatedly pushed Arsenal into a desperate situation.

And now they can not only easily win their opponents, but also double-kill this season, which makes them very satisfied.

Of course, this game also became the main point of public opinion in the British media that day.

Manchester United's celebrities began to bombard again. From the club to the players, they gave the wind field a lot of "suggestions", which also caused the entire Manchester United to be in a mess.

Some people also said that these so-called celebrities should be quieter and give the club enough time to adjust.

But these people are not fuel-saving lamps when they play football. Their combat effectiveness is amazing after retirement. It's just that they have changed a field.

Solskjaer is about to face a huge professional challenge. It can be said that this year is his most difficult year.

If he can't make corresponding adjustments and changes, then he may really be fired.

The Premier League is in full swing, and after the Bundesliga ended the winter break, the next round of the league started again.

The Norwegian striker they introduced in the winter window showed amazing performance.

After coming on as a substitute in the 59th minute, he completed a hat trick in just 20 minutes, quickly expanding the score and helping the team win.

And this player is Erling Haaland, who has just joined Dortmund and is only 19 years old.

This young player with a height of 194, who looks like the cartoon Dragon Ball Majin Buu, has made a stunning debut after joining Dortmund.

Generally speaking, as a report card for joining, as long as you score a goal or make an assist, you can be rated as excellent.

Many rookies are judged by their passing performance on the field and creating threats.

And this guy directly scored three goals, completely killing the suspense of the game.

It can be said that the entire German media is now talking about Haaland.

This news even spread to the Champions League.

Of course, for most teams, Haaland is still young, and they don’t think he will pose a threat to themselves.

But no one knows that this guy will become a crazy shooter in the future.

At the same time, Mourinho also received this news.

At the same time, he also watched Haaland's performance. It can be said that everything about Haaland perfectly hits Mourinho's aesthetics.

Explosive physical fitness, sensitive sense of smell in front of the goal, the ability to finish the attack with one hammer, and the attitude of fighting for victory.

At this time, Mourinho seemed to see Drogba in the past.

At the same time, he also regretted why he didn't discover this player earlier. It would be a perfect transfer to bring him to Arsenal at that time.

It can be said that for Mourinho, if Haaland's performance can continue and agree to join Arsenal, then he doesn't mind giving Haaland more opportunities while suppressing Giroud.

When Mourinho returned to the training ground, he saw a conspicuous bag at first sight.

The fat man dribbling quickly on the wing!

Yes, this is Lukaku.

After watching Haaland's performance, he was furious when he saw Lukaku, who had the template of a top center forward but played in a weird way.

If Arsenal did not need to fight on multiple fronts and did not have enough time to get used to each other, he would have put Lukaku up for sale long ago.

Shaking his head, Mourinho turned his gaze to the middle.

When he saw Luka who was directing the team's defense, his sharp eyes slowly eased.

Yes!

Although he does not have Haaland at present, he has Luka, a killer.

"This is the tactic for the next FA Cup."

In the tactical room, Mourinho began to talk about the FA Cup tactics.

Their opponent in the FA Cup is Bournemouth, who has already played against them once in the league and won more easily.

They believe that Bournemouth cannot bring enough threats to themselves.

But they cannot be taken lightly.

After this game, Arsenal will prepare for the League Cup semi-final at the end of the month.

In the two-round match, Arsenal will face Aston Villa.

However, this match is not the focus. Even with Arsenal's blessing, it is still not as popular as the Manchester Derby on the other side.

The final of the English League Cup is scheduled for mid-February, which is also the beginning of the Champions League knockout stage.

At present, Arsenal only needs to focus on the FA Cup and the league.

Of course, they can't relax too much. After all, the current Arsenal does not have an extremely exaggerated points gap like last season.

They have no tolerance for error.

Whenever they lose a game, they will be overtaken by Liverpool in points.

For this reason, Arsenal still needs absolute concentration.

On January 25, Arsenal ushered in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

In this game, Arsenal faced Bournemouth.

Bournemouth was already afraid of this Gunner based on the last game against Arsenal.

The whole game was awkward. They wanted to attack, but they didn't dare to attack.

The overall rhythm was very slow.

This also led to Arsenal taking the initiative. Under the classic corner kick tactics, Arsenal seized the first point, with Luka passing the ball to the middle position, and Giroud shot into the goal.

Arsenal did not relax after taking the lead.

In the 21st minute, Eriksen scored a wonderful shot that went straight into the dead corner.

After taking a two-goal lead, Arsenal was completely in control of the situation and had a certain margin for error.

In this game, Kanter, who returned from injury, also got the chance to start.

However, Kanter's performance was not particularly outstanding, or in other words, injuries caused his condition to decline a bit.

Kanter made two mistakes in this game, but they were not fatal.

The team members also constantly comforted Kanter, asking him to take his time and not be too anxious.

Mourinho also gave Kanter enough patience. Even if his performance was poor, he also gave him time on the court and used the game to reactivate his condition.

Sure enough, Kanter's performance slowly began to improve with each touch of the ball.

Although it is not as stable as before, it will not make mistakes.

After maintaining the compact rhythm of the game, Arsenal basically controlled the situation of the game.

In the second half, Arsenal took the lead in making substitutions in the 55th minute.

Lucky and Hummels exited.

Xhaka and Delich came off the bench.

Mourinho fulfilled his promise, and although De Ligt was not a starter, he had many opportunities to play in the game.

This also caused him to continue to run in with Arsenal.

It can even be said that if De Ligt continues to maintain this state, Arsenal may usher in a major rotation in terms of age structure next season.

Outstanding young people such as Saka, Odegaard and Derich are expected to be promoted to the starting lineup.

After all, if a team wants to develop for a long time, a reasonable age structure is very important.

Although Arsenal's average age is low, they need fresh blood.

The game ended with 2:1.

In the 89th minute, Jimenez's overly aggressive defense resulted in the opponent getting a penalty kick.

The Bournemouth forward scored successfully, but still lost the game.

Arsenal successfully advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup.

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!

!

"

"Azpilicueta, Chelsea's captain, kept their dignity at home for them. At the last moment of the game, Chelsea equalized the score."

"3 minutes of injury time, Chelsea 2:2 Arsenal!"

"If this game is a draw, Arsenal will only get one point, but if Liverpool beat their opponents, the two-point gap will be closed."

At the same time, at Wolves' home court, Liverpool and Wolves are engaged in a fierce confrontation.

At this time, a coach approached Klopp and said something. Klopp's eyes lit up and he ran directly to the sidelines and shouted:

"Arsenal is tied! Whether we can tie the points depends on now!"

When the Liverpool players heard this, they felt as if they had been given a shot of blood.

Their attacks became more intense, and their morale increased suddenly.

In just 5 minutes, they played a series of extremely fast counterattacks, which also overwhelmed the Wolves' defense. Finally, Firmino took the ball and Chen Man volleyed straight to the near corner and scored.

Liverpool also won this game and eventually tied the points and tied with Arsenal at the top of the standings.
