Chapter 294 The winning streak ends

Li Shou and Arsenal will not let it go for the time being. This is the benefit of not signing a termination fee. If there is a termination fee, the rich club may directly spend money to poach people.

Wenger finally made a decision in the mid-back signing, and he finally chose his partner for many years. The team's chief scout made a offer to Villarreal.

In fact, Wenger also wanted to buy Van Dijk, but the boss was unwilling to pay because Li Shou's outstanding performance was so outstanding. The boss felt that the team did not need to buy two central defenders.

If possible, Kroenke didn't even want Wenger to buy any of them, but he also knew that Arsenal currently has only two central defenders, and the current youth team is not very outstanding. Although Li Shou did perform very well, no matter how outstanding it is, it cannot change the fact that Arsenal only has two central defenders, which made him "bear the pain" to pay for it.

However, even if Wenger has decided that it will take some time to operate, so there will be no new players in Arsenal's next round of the game. Like the previous game, Arsenal has rotated again in the starting lineup.

Sanchez was on the bench, Griezmann started, Villbeck and Chamberlain did not change, most of Chamberlain came on as a substitute this season, and it was nothing to play more at this stage. In the midfield, Wilhel replaced Cassorla, and Coquelin still started, and both sides of the defense line changed. Monreal and Derbych returned to their familiar position, and the central defender remained unchanged, let alone the goalkeeper.

Compared to Arsenal's rotation, Southampton did not rotate much, and Southampton seemed to have no intention of winning in this game, even if it was playing at home.

So after the game started, Arsenal got the ball, but Arsenal's ball never really poses any threat to Southampton, because Southampton retreated completely since the game started.

"When you see the opponent's tactics today, will Arsenal sound themselves in the previous round?" Some people support it, some people hate it. Whether it is a person or a club, it is impossible for everyone to like it, especially sports competitions.

Arsenal failed to create any threat when facing Southampton's big move. On the contrary, Southampton took advantage of the opportunity to counterattack and caused great trouble for Arsenal.

In the 24th minute of the game, Southampton made his first attack in this game. The ball under Wilshire was cut off by Wan Yama, and Southampton launched a counterattack.

Tadic made a long pass by Pelle, and the latter headed the ball to Mane. Mane took the ball to attack Arsenal's penalty area. Koscheerny stepped forward to intercept and was shaken by Mane.

Koscheerny is the last defender in Arsenal's defense, so after Koscheerny was broken through by Mane, only Li Shou was left in front of Mane.

However, just as Mane was about to rush into the penalty area to face Li Shou, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Since Coscheerney was the last person in Arsenal's defense, he didn't need to guess who was appearing in front of Mane at this moment.

When Koscheerny rushed out towards Mane, Li Shou knew that he was broken. Koscheerny's personal ability is indeed not bad, but in Li Shou's opinion, Mane's personal ability is stronger.

Moreover, the defensive players were at a disadvantage against the offensive players, so when Koscheerny rushed up, Li Shou rushed out, and took advantage of the fact that only Koscheerny was in Mane's eyes and directly intercepted the ball from Mane's feet.

"Li~~~ The last line of defense in the arsenal's back line, an insurmountable steel gate." Li Shou's photo of the Times was repeatedly used, and he posted various pictures. Li Shou felt that he could ask the Times for copyright fees.

And the Iron Gate Times mentioned by Andy Gray have p-ed it, and it is also the most recognized picture of the Times so many p-edits.

Because Li Shou is indeed like an insurmountable steel goal, he has not conceded the ball so far, and he has also broken the longest record of Premier League goalkeeper not conceding. And I don’t know how long this record will last.

At least Southampton's originally extremely threatening attack was resolved by Li Shou, and after resolving this counterattack, Arsenal will definitely restrain himself.

In fact, this is true. Arsenal did not push as well as before in the whole first half, so Southampton did not get another chance to hit a quick counterattack.

But at the same time, Arsenal itself did not create any real threats. Facing Southampton, which is fully retreating, Arsenal really doesn't have much to do.

The best way to break intensive defense is to shoot long shots, free kicks or rely on the stars' inspiration. As for Arsenal, Sanchez is dribbled under his feet and sat on the bench, as for long shots and free kicks.

Arsenal has long-range shots, but does not really rely on long-range shots. Southampton will definitely not give a free kick easily. Of course, this refers to a free kick with a good position. Li Shou's 100% success rate is really terrifying.

But even so, Arsenal still won a good free kick not long after the second half, but Li Shou did not go up and take the penalty.

However, Li Shou would never have thought that this free kick would be the best free kick opportunity for Arsenal to play normally. Southampton was extremely prepared for this game.

There is actually another reason why Li Shou is not in a hurry, that is, Tottenham has already overtaken the score. In this round of the league, Chelsea was away from Bailu Lane. Chelsea scored first in the first half, but this did not bring good luck to Chelsea. However, when the whistle sounded in the first half, the score on the field had become 3:1. Tottenham scored three goals in a row before the end of the first half to complete the overtake.

The score changed again shortly after the second half. In the 52nd minute, Tottenham scored another goal. In this case, it was very difficult for Chelsea to turn the tables.

So Li Shou was unwilling to take this risk, and Southampton's strength is not bad. Although they sold a lot of people last summer, the new buyers were all good, and their foundation was still there.

Besides, the second half of the game started not long ago, and Li Shou thought there would be another chance, so Li Shou was not in a hurry, but the situation ahead was a little beyond Li Shou's expectations, and Southampton did not give him another chance.

Of course, Southampton cannot give Arsenal a free kick, but Li Shou will definitely not take the penalty for those free kicks with bad positions. Li Shou has always been very fresh and restrained. He is a goalkeeper, and his main task is to ensure that the goal behind him is not broken.

So when the referee blew the whistle of the game, the score on the field was still 0:0, and this score also announced that Arsenal's winning streak was over.
