Chapter 225: 9 goals in the Champions League, tying Ronaldo, 22 goals in the league, aiming at Alan Shearer!

After the game against Bayern, Manchester City did not stay in Munich longer, but returned to Manchester overnight.

The Premier League's Christmas Express is about to start, and Manchester City is about to face a devilish schedule in the next period of time.

Three days later, they will face Arsenal for the top spot.

Simply looking at the state of the two teams, Manchester City's state is slightly better.

Also in the Champions League, they reversed and drew with the powerful Bayern after conceding two goals in the away game.

Arsenal had a three-point advantage, but was beaten by the opponent in the away game and was almost eliminated.

However, Manchester City's previous league games have been stumbling, which has made people somewhat doubtful about their status.

There is not much difference in the strength of the two teams. The result of the game is related to their tactics and on-the-spot performance.

Whoever is in better condition and who can seize the opponent's mistakes will have greater hope of winning.

The coaches of both teams stayed up late watching tapes of each other's games, trying to find the other's weaknesses.

On Arsenal's side, after watching Manchester City's recent league games and their performance in the Champions League, Wenger rubbed his forehead tiredly.

It’s not easy to deal with!

After Lin Quan joined, Manchester City's offensive power in the frontcourt was too strong. If he could not be restrained, Arsenal might not be able to withstand the opponent's offense.

Arsenal is the kind of team that is not good at playing against a headwind. There are too many young players in the team, and they have always been prone to collapse in the second half before. This makes the team's resilience insufficient. They can excel when the wind is tailwind.

But once the wind goes against them, Arsenal's young players will be at a loss.

This results in that when they encounter a strong team, as long as they concede one goal, they will continue to concede goals one after another.

The reason for this phenomenon is actually not complicated, that is, after Vieira left Arsenal, Arsenal could not find a suitable team leader.

Wenger was originally very optimistic about Fabregas, but Fabregas was seduced by Barcelona and ran away, and Wenger's many years of hard work were ruined.

Coupled with the fact that Arsenal has been without a championship every year and Arsenal does not sign contracts with players over 30 years old for more than one year, Arsenal can neither attract the best players nor retain outstanding players in the team.

It's a pity that if Lin Quan could be brought back to the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's team leader might have been found.

With a sigh, Wenger quickly shook off this thought from his head.

Lin Quan has joined Manchester City. It is meaningless to say this now. Instead of wasting time on this kind of thing, it is better to think about how to restrict him!

After repeatedly observing the two games between Manchester City and Bayern, as well as Manchester City and Sunderland, West Bromwich Albion and Southampton, Wenger finally had some ideas in his mind.

Compared to Wenger's concerns, Arsenal's players are not afraid just because their opponent is Manchester City.

Little Tiger Walcott posted on social media:

"I have a feeling I will score more than one goal at the Etihad Stadium!"

Also a leader among young players, Walcott was very unconvinced by Lin Quan.

Compared to Lin Quan, Little Tiger debuted earlier and became famous earlier.

He doesn't think he is worse than Lin Quan, after all, he came to Arsenal with the title of super genius.

Professor Wenger, who has always been diligent and thrifty, is willing to spend 5 million pounds for the 16-year-old, which is enough to prove his strength.

Walcott's performance after joining Arsenal also proved the professor's vision of people.

However, compared to the heights that Lin Quan quickly reached after joining Manchester City, Walcott has always fallen behind in recent years.

Little Tiger attributed these to injuries. Speedy players like him are indeed prone to injuries, and once injured, it will have a great impact on their condition.

But in the past two years, as the number of injuries suffered by Little Tiger has decreased, his performance in the league has become better and better.

Last season, he scored 14 goals for Arsenal in the league and was Arsenal's top scorer. After Robin van Persie left the team, it can be said that he was the little tiger who supported Arsenal's offensive system.

It is precisely because of this that he received the highest salary in the Arsenal team - a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds.

Walcott's words quickly aroused huge attention and discussion on the Internet.

Arsenal fans naturally sang praises for Little Tiger and cheered him on.

"Come on little tiger!"

"Let the people in Manchester City see how powerful you are!"

"Tell them who is the fastest man in the Premier League!"

Manchester City fans were dismissive of Walcott's statement:

"Tsk, tsk, it's true that cats and dogs dare to jump out and compete with Emperor Lin!"

"Haha, Walcott? Is this person worthy of being compared with Lin Huang? Lin Huang has scored 22 goals in less than half a season. Can the little tiger score so many goals in a full season?"

"Haha, Lin Huang scored more goals in the Champions League than the Little Tigers in the league!"

In the eyes of the Manchester City players, these two people were not on the same level at all. The little tiger was trying to force a fight, so they scolded him back unceremoniously.

Walcott has played for Arsenal for many years and has accumulated a lot of fans.

Seeing their star being scolded, they naturally couldn't sit still, so they started to talk back one after another and began to scold the Manchester City fans.

Some reporters who saw the excitement and didn't take it too seriously went to find Lin Quan outside Manchester City's training base to interview him about this matter.

"Lin, what do you think of Theo's statement?"

The reporter's question made Lin Quan stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously asked:

"Who is Theo?"

This sentence was originally just Lin Quan's normal question, because he didn't even know that this was Walcott's name.

However, fans who don't mind watching the excitement don't care about this, especially Manchester City fans.

In their view, this is the response of their own star to the challenge of Arsenal's star, and this response is to their liking!

As a result, these four words quickly became a hot word on the Internet that day. Manchester City fans rushed to Walcott's Twitter and lined up to copy this sentence.

"Who is Theo?"

"Lin: Sorry, I don't know who Theo is!"

"Oh oh oh, someone failed to win!"

"Hahaha, you deserve it. You are obviously not a player of the same level, but you insist on trying to get something wrong. Are you getting slapped in the face?"

Seeing Manchester City fans queuing up to provoke each other on Twitter, Lin Quan thought about posting a tweet and analyzing it?

After thinking about it carefully, he rejected the idea.

If you explain at this time, it may be considered as showing cowardice, which will affect the morale of Manchester City.

Besides, Walcott took the initiative to provoke him. Since he was the first to strike, don't blame others for fighting back!

On Arsenal's side, Walcott was furious at Lin Quan's response and the provocation from Manchester City fans!

He vowed to hit the opponent in the face hard at the Etihad Stadium!

Seeing the lively training ground, Walcott's fighting spirit was completely aroused.

Wenger on the sidelines was surprised and happy. His confidence in this game has increased a lot!

…

On December 14, the 16th round of the Premier League officially started.

As the focus of this round of competition, the first-place battle between Manchester City and Arsenal is scheduled to take place at noon on the 14th.

The intention of this arrangement is obvious - the Premier League wants to take care of viewers in Asia and America.

Especially in Asia, when the game starts, the BJ time has just reached nine o'clock in the evening, which is the absolute prime time.

This season, due to the joining of Lin Quan and the vigorous promotion of the Premier League, the ratings of Premier League games in Asia have increased a lot.

After signing a broadcast contract with CCTV, the Premier League's attention and popularity in China have greatly increased.

Many fans who did not originally watch the Premier League began to follow CCTV live broadcasts of Premier League games this season.

Of course, the one that gets the most attention here is obviously the Manchester City game.

As long as CCTV broadcasts Manchester City's games, the ratings will immediately soar.

If the games of other Premier League teams are broadcast, the ratings will drop a lot.

Obviously, the vast majority of fans come here for Lin Quan.

"Lin Huangchong, I am your fan!"

"Little Heizi is showing his chicken feet, right? How can a real fan call Brother Lin as Emperor Lin?"

"An anti-fan is also a fan. If you are black, you will show your feelings!"

"Having said that, Lin Huang is in really hot form right now. He scored 22 goals in the league and 9 goals in the Champions League group stage!"

"Haha, I scored in every six rounds of the group stage, which directly broke the historical record of the Champions League. It's really exaggerated!"
