Max-level burst damage at the start, the British Empire arrives!

The first half ended with Arsenal leading by two goals.

With such a result, the atmosphere in the locker room was naturally joyful.

At the start of the second half, Wigan Athletic's manager made two consecutive substitutions, bringing on two attacking players.

There was no other way; playing at home, Wigan Athletic couldn't just sit idly by under the noses of their fans.

As it turns out, squatting on the toilet is a good solution in this situation.

After Wigan Athletic intensified their attack, they improved their performance on the field and created several threats for Arsenal.

But this kind of run-and-gun tactic is exactly what Arsenal excels at.

Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez is a Spanish coach, and the tactics he has developed for his team are technical football.

This team was jokingly referred to by the English media as "Arsenal's reserve team".

However, given the level of Wigan Athletic's players, it's clear they're unlikely to play beautiful football; they often imitate Arsenal.

As the saying goes, those who learn from me will live, and those who imitate me will die.

Wigan Athletic's attacking style was visually appealing, but the results were less than satisfactory.

In the 60th minute, Van Persie withdrew from the penalty area and exchanged several short passes with Arteta and Song.

The Wigan Athletic defenders were caught in a dilemma: neither could they move forward, nor could they simply stand and watch.

At this moment, Van Persie, who turned and rushed back into the penalty area, delivered the ball to the left side of the penalty area while running.

Hotbird used his speed to tear apart the opponent's defense and chipped the ball into the net.

3: 0!

This goal put the home team in a difficult position.

The game is over with three goals. Should we focus on offense or defense for the rest of the time?

None of them are suitable.

In the 80th minute, Arsenal took another chance.

Walcott received the ball on the right wing, and the opposing left-back made a risky sliding tackle, which Walcott managed to evade.

"Little Tiger" broke into the penalty area and passed the ball to the middle before the defenders could catch up, where Van Persie pushed the ball in to help Arsenal win the game again.

After conceding that goal, Wigan Athletic players were completely bewildered.

I'm completely lost in life...

Eighty-eighth minute.

Substitutes Coquelin and Arshavin also wanted to make a run on the left wing.

The two players tumbled around in the penalty area. Arshavin dribbled the ball laterally inside the box, but a defender shoved it out of the penalty area.

When the defenders trapped inside the penalty area looked out of the penalty area, they suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Sun Ke intercepted the ball, and there were no defenders around him.

"Bang!"

After a loud bang.

The football flew into the goal, skimming past the right post.

5: 0!

This goal made Martinez spin around in place.

Before the match, he declared that he could not allow Van Persie to score under any circumstances, and he could not allow Sun Ke to shoot from long range under any circumstances.

The result was like making two wishes in the opposite direction.

All of them have been achieved!

After the match, Wenger did not retaliate against his opponent.

No need.

The reporter asked Wenger the same question again.

The professor didn't exaggerate; his answer was very honest.

He felt that as long as Van Persie was on the field, the team's attack wouldn't have too much of a problem.

Because as long as the Dutch striker is on the field, he can wear down at least one or two of the opponent's defenders, which creates space for the other players.

Furthermore, Arsenal has three wingers who can overwhelm opponents with their speed, plus Van Persie's ability to create opportunities.

Even traditional powerhouses like Manchester United, Chelsea, Newcastle, Liverpool, and Tottenham couldn't stop Arsenal's attacking style of constantly filling gaps and then having their wingers tear apart the defense.

Regarding the absence of Van Persie, the professor believes that the absence of any team's star striker has a significant impact on the team.

Other matches in the fourteenth round of the league.

Manchester City thrashed Norwich 5-1, easily securing three points.

It seems this team has a good ability to withstand pressure, after all, they have many strong players on the team.

Manchester City's squad depth is far superior to other Premier League rivals, and it will probably take some time before they collapse.

Teams vying for the championship need not only excellent physical reserves but also a strong mentality.

This strong team, acquired with a lot of money, has no championship experience yet, so they are bound to make mistakes.

Manchester United scored in the 80th minute, winning 1-0 away against Aston Villa.

Manchester United under Ferguson could play both technical and physical football, and they were particularly adept at scoring goals in close games.

Despite their crushing defeat to Manchester City, Manchester United have not lost their composure and have achieved four wins and one draw in their last five matches.

What's particularly alarming is that Manchester United have managed to score only one goal in each of their last five matches.

The victories in those four games were mostly achieved in the second half. In three of those games, the opponents thought they were invincible and launched an attack, only to be defeated.

In today's match, Manchester United relentlessly wore down Aston Villa's players, leaving them physically and mentally exhausted, before finally scoring the goal.

This is the foundation of the Premier League champions; even when the team is not in good form, they can still take all three points in the vast majority of matches.

In the post-match press conference, Sir Alex Ferguson discussed Manchester United's recent form.

The old man admitted that his team had been in poor form recently.

However, Sir Alex Ferguson confidently stated that as long as no more than three players underperform in a single match, Manchester United can win in the league.

Chelsea, on the other hand, defeated Newcastle 3-0 and seem to be in good form recently.

It's worth mentioning that Tottenham won again in this round, achieving a five-game winning streak.

Manchester City remain in first place in the league standings.

Arsenal are ranked second and Manchester United are ranked third.

Chelsea and Tottenham are tied with 28 points, trailing Manchester United by 3 points.

Chelsea are in fourth place in the league with a three-goal advantage.

It is no exaggeration to say that the English Premier League is the most competitive of the four major leagues.

At this point, even if Manchester City goes two games without a win, their amazing performance in the first fourteen rounds will be in vain.

Most interestingly, when discussing his title rivals, Sir Alex Ferguson believed that Manchester City's performance was likely just a flash in the pan.

The old man said that in the past 25 years, he has seen too many similar teams, and only Blackburn Rovers succeeded 17 years ago.

However, when it comes to Chelsea and Arsenal, Sir Alex Ferguson believes that both teams are very tough to beat.

He started by talking about Chelsea's next match against Manchester City.

The old man believed this was the best opportunity for Villas-Boas and Chelsea to prove themselves.

English media generally believe that Chelsea's manager is too young, while the players are generally too old.

Ferguson believes Chelsea are very competitive and will become a formidable opponent once they gel as a team during the season.

Sir Alex Ferguson was half right. Chelsea are still not tough enough in the Premier League, but they are unstoppable in the Champions League.

Sir Alex Ferguson also believes Arsenal are in good form, and their performance against mid-to-lower table teams is more consistent than in previous seasons.

The old man believed that as long as Arsenal lost fewer games against teams of Manchester United's caliber, they would be able to compete with Manchester United for the league title at the end of the season.

No matter what Mancini says about Manchester City, he doesn't respond.

Then put enough pressure on them; if you're so capable, then put up with it.

Three days after the league ended, Arsenal traveled to Greece to participate in their final Champions League group stage match.

The opponent was Olympiacos, a team that had put Arsenal in a very passive position at one point.

However, Wenger made a decision to take the eighteen players from the League Cup squad to Greece.

The old man even gave himself a high-sounding reason: "Many players don't get many opportunities to play, but they are more motivated to prove themselves."

"Arsenal's squad this time will be much tougher than the one they fielded in last Saturday's league match; they were very strong last week."

"We bear a huge responsibility, and I would be very disappointed if we were not focused on winning."

"I will make sure that everyone on the team knows that we go out there to win every time we play."

Sun Ke was deeply moved by the old man's words.

They're clearly giving the key players a rest, but they're trying to come up with some high-sounding excuse.

Of course, Arsenal's rotation squad is actually not bad, but it will still be quite difficult to defeat the Greek giants.

In recent years, Olympiacos has been like the Bayern Munich of Greece, managing to recruit the best players from their own country.

12 month 6 day.

Sun Ke watched Arsenal's match at home.

After the first five rounds, Olympiacos and Marseille are tied with 6 points.

If teams have the same points in the final round, the order of comparison will be head-to-head record, head-to-head goal difference, group stage goal difference, and group stage goals scored.

Coincidentally, both teams won their away games 1-0.

Even more coincidentally, both teams had a goal difference of 2.

Olympiacos scored 6 goals in the first five rounds, while Marseille scored 4.

Who will advance to the knockout stage depends entirely on the results of the final round of matches.

After the match started, Olympiacos players took the initiative to attack, and Arsenal players did not have the upper hand, but the game was not a problem.

Olympiacos scored a goal in the first half, but Arshavin equalized for his team in the 57th minute.

Seeing this, Sun Ke switched to another match, where Dortmund and Marseille were tied 2-2.

I didn't expect the final round to be so exciting.

Good news came from Marseille; they scored their third goal in the 80th minute.

When the good news reached Arsenal's match, the Olympiacos players went on a crazy offensive.

In the 84th minute, Arsenal launched a counter-attack and created a one-on-one opportunity, but Chamberlain's shot hit the post.

In the final minutes, Olympiacos launched a full-scale attack, pinning Arsenal back in their own half and relentlessly pressing them down.

In the 90th minute, Olympiacos won a corner kick, and the goalkeeper rushed to the front of the field.

The corner kick was taken, and the goalkeeper surprisingly won the first header.

Zhu Lu headed the ball to the edge of the penalty area, and the goalkeeper, who was sprinting toward his own goal, turned around and kicked the ball back into the penalty area.

After a chaotic scramble, Olympiacos scored the winning goal.

The two matches ended at almost the same time.

Olympiacos advanced to the Champions League knockout stage with a one-goal advantage!

Arsenal's rotation squad is indeed formidable, but they lost out due to their inability to capitalize on opportunities.

The biggest upset of this round was Manchester United's 1-2 away defeat to Basel, which dropped them to third place in the group and sent them directly to the Europa League.

Manchester City defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 at home in the final round, but Napoli also secured a victory.

Manchester's two giants have both qualified for the Europa League!

Chelsea, on the other hand, performed admirably, defeating Valencia 3-0 at home in a crucial match, who had the same points as them before the game, and advancing to the knockout stage as group winners.

With the group stage over, two Premier League teams have been eliminated.

This means that three Serie A teams have advanced, while the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Russian Premier League each have two teams advancing to the round of 16.

One team each from Ligue 1, Primeira Liga, Swedish Allsvenskan, Greek Super League, and Serbian Super League has advanced.

The sixteen teams come from ten leagues, and the most surprising result is that Cypriot Super League champions APOEL Nicosia beat Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk to advance from the group stage.

It's simply a miracle!

With both Manchester clubs eliminated in the group stage, Sun Ke is hoping they'll collapse in the next round of the league.

With five games left in the first half of the Premier League season, if Manchester City doesn't collapse soon, they won't be able to achieve their goals!
