Chelsea 2-1 Crystal Palace, Tottenham 0-5 Liverpool, Manchester City 6-7 Arsenal!
In this round, the top five teams scored a total of 20 goals...
This is still when Tottenham failed to live up to expectations and failed to gain anything.
Suarez, who had 2 goals and 2 assists, and Lin Yun, who had 3 shots and 1 pass, once again became the focus of the entire Premier League.
One seems to be cheating, and the other is really cheating.
"...At the beginning of the season, there were rumors that Arsenal planned to acquire Suarez. If the rumors at that time came true, then there might be no suspense about the Premier League championship now.
Lin Yun scored his 86th goal in 2013 against Naples in the last game, surpassing Gerd Muller's annual record of 85 goals. Unfortunately, this record has been broken by Messi. The Arsenal forward Currently, he can only rank second on the list of individual annual goalscoring records in the five major leagues.
After scoring a hat trick in this game, Lin Yun's number of goals has become 89, only two goals away from Messi's record - for him, this may be just one or half a game.
Breaking Messi's record is no longer Lin Yun's current main goal. His pursuit should be set higher, such as... 100 goals in the year!
Before the end of 2013, Arsenal still has the Club World Cup and two league games to play. This is not an unachievable goal for him, but an achievement that is within easy reach.
Many people say that he took advantage of the World Youth Championship and the World Cup preliminaries. He scored 15 goals in the World Youth Championship. In the World Cup preliminaries, he scored 6 goals in a single game against a team like San Marino. These 21 goals are the reason why he can surpass Messi. The main reason is Spain, but you must know that 8 of Messi's goals were scored against opponents like Bolivia. In addition, the Argentine also scored in 'secondary events' such as the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup. ball.
If Lin Yun can break Messi's scoring record and break Messi's monopoly on the Ballon d'Or, then football history will undoubtedly enter a new era, an era of peerless pride..."
Because of the annual goal record, the attention of this Club World Cup is far higher than before, and it seems that it really has the meaning of a world event.
According to specifications, the Club World Cup is theoretically the number one football tournament in the world. After all, it is a competition that brings together championship teams from several continents. However, for well-known reasons, this tournament cannot be compared with the World Cup, let alone the Champions League. Far inferior to both.
In the "Big Triple Crown" that people often discuss, everyone would rather put the domestic cup together with the Champions League and the league championship than play the Club World Cup, which shows the gold content of this event.
But no matter how you say it is a championship, it is still a world champion, and everyone at Arsenal still attaches great importance to it.
After a difficult victory over Manchester City, Wenger brought all the main players to the Club World Cup and came to the African country of Morocco.
According to the rules, the Champions League champion and the Copa Libertadores champion will directly advance to the semi-finals, while several other teams fought hard to get the other two semi-final spots.
“At 0:00 on December 15, a focus battle of the quarter-finals of the 2013 Club World Cup was held at the Agadir Stadium in Morocco.
After 90 minutes of fierce battle, the Asian champion China Guangzhou Evergrande defeated the African champion Egypt Al Ahli 2-0 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. Their opponent will be last season's Champions League champion Arsenal.
In another quarter-final, host country Casablanca Raja defeated CONCACAF Champions League champion Monterrey and will face South American Libertadores Cup champion Atletico Mineiro in another semi-final. Fans will be able to watch this game Seeing the style of former Barcelona superstar Ronaldinho..."
Most of the Arsenal players expressed regret for not meeting Ronaldinho. Only Lin Yun was interested in the upcoming Evergrande team.
In addition to the players, Wenger also has great expectations for this game because Evergrande's coach is the silver fox Lippi.
The pre-match press conference was mainly about the two coaches showing sympathy for each other, without any hint of anger.
"It's not easy to win the Champions League, but Lippi has done it many years ago, and he has now won the Asian Champions Cup. This is a great achievement. Guangzhou Evergrande has done it under his The team is very competitive and this game is not easy to play, but Arsenal will do their best to win."
In the same year that Lippi led Juventus to win the Champions League, Wenger led the Japanese team Nagoya Grampus to win the Japanese Emperor's Cup and the Japanese Super Cup, and was selected as the best coach of the J-League that year. Just joined Arsenal.
Lippi obviously knew about his experience, and immediately joked: "I know Wenger also coached in Asia, but fortunately he only coached there for one year and left, otherwise I would only be the second person to win the award at the same time. The head coach of the European and Asian champions."
"Hahaha, that will definitely be a very interesting experience..."
"Yes, it is indeed a very novel experience..."
In the player tunnel before the game, the atmosphere was actually similar.
Evergrande captain Zheng Zhi shook hands with Lin Yun and said with a smile: "Hello, should I call you Claude or Lin Yun?"
"Speak in Chinese, I can understand it," Lin Yundao said, "I rarely use the name Claude."
Zheng Zhi nodded, "What a pity. We had a chance to become teammates."
"Haha," Lin Yun didn't know how to answer, so he could only smile casually, "Come on."
"Thanks, you too."
“Dear spectators, welcome to the Agadi Stadium in Morocco, where the match between Arsenal and Evergrande is about to begin. This is the highest level showdown between Asian football and European football.
In the quarter-finals three days ago, Evergrande won with the goals of Exxon and Conca, while Arsenal also won the league match with Manchester City and took three points. It can be said that both sides are in good condition. Very hot…”
Guangzhou Evergrande adopted a 4-3-3 attacking formation.
Goalkeeper: 19 Zeng Cheng;
Defenders: 5 Zhang Linpeng, 6 Feng Xiaoting, 28 Jin Yingquan, 32 Sun Xiang;
Midfielder: 37 Zhao Xuri, 10 Zheng Zhi (C), 16 Huang Bowen;
Forwards: 11 Muric, 9 Exon, 15 Kongka.
Arsenal carried out a small-scale rotation, and several players who played the entire game against Manchester City sat on the bench.
Goalkeeper: 21-Fabianski;
Defenders: 25-Jenkinson, 4-Pertesacker, 6-Koscielny, 28-Gibbs;
Midfielder: 8-Arteta, 16-Ramsey, 7-Rosicki, 9-Podolski;
Forwards: 12-Giroud, 11-Lin Yun. "
"The game has started, Arsenal kicks off first..."
Not surprisingly, the game basically took place in Evergrande's half after kick-off.
Arsenal almost took the lead in the first wave of attacks.
Ramsey passed the ball from the wing, Giroud dived to the top and was saved by Feng Xiaoting's header. Lin Yun's volley from the left side of the goal was slightly higher than the crossbar.
After being knocked down, Evergrande's players finally recognized the reality and honestly followed the coach's instructions to play defensive counterattacks.
Lippi was born in Serie A, and there is no doubt about his level of defensive training. Arsenal's generals felt that it was hard to swallow for a while, and they could only patiently look for openings for their opponents.
I don’t know if it was because of the excessive consumption in the game against Manchester City. Lin Yun was somewhat out of shape today. Arsenal’s frontcourt mainly relied on Giroud to create threats. This made Evergrande’s defenders somewhat relax their vigilance, and then soon It's almost time to suffer.
In the 16th minute, Arteta made an accurate prediction, cut off the passing route of Huang Bowen and Muric, and passed the ball to Rosicky.
Rosicky and Podolski did a wall-to-wall cooperation, and then quickly passed the ball to the left side of the goal with the instep of the outside.
Feng Xiaoting felt his eyes blur. Lin Yun, who was behind him just now, appeared in front of him without knowing it.
He subconsciously reached out and pulled once, but he only touched Lin Yun's back.
Sun Xiang immediately rushed over to cover up the defense, but before he could make a diving save, Lin Yun had already taken the lead and hit the goal with a volley.
"...Rosicki made a long pass from outside the penalty area, Lin Yun volleyed, and the ball went in!"
"In the 16th minute of the game, Lin Yun opened the scoring for Arsenal, but Evergrande's defense failed to stop him from scoring."
"Evergrande has tried its best, but there is still a clear gap in strength between the two sides. This game should focus on learning..."
Lin Yun jogged to the sidelines, stretched out his right index finger, pointed to the sky, and completed the celebration in a scribble.
Several Evergrande defenders looked at each other and fell into an awkward silence.
The game continued, Arsenal still controlled the rhythm, 20 minutes passed, and Evergrande didn't even get a chance to shoot.
In the 21st minute, Zheng Zhi fouled Ramsey and Arsenal got a free kick in the frontcourt. Unfortunately, Arteta's shot went over the crossbar;
In the 25th minute, Arsenal penetrated the middle, and Rosicky's powerful volley from the arc of the penalty area hit the crossbar and bounced back.
Evergrande struggled to hold on until the 30th minute of the game with the help of the crossbar, and finally got a chance to counterattack. Unfortunately, Conca's shot was also rejected by the goal post.
Mertesacker quickly made a big save. Lin Yun retreated sharply to catch the football. After stopping, he immediately started running long distance.
Feng Xiaoting followed him like a shadow. Lin Yun's first change of direction didn't deceive him away. He didn't bother to talk about martial arts. He directly speeded up and took the ball raw, brought the ball to the front of the penalty area and passed it diagonally to Giroud.
Giroud stepped on the ball under his feet, paused for a moment, and then tapped it lightly.
Lin Yun broke through the defense without the ball and met the ball in the small penalty area and shot furiously.
The football flew directly into the dead center of the goal, and the goalkeeper had no reaction.
2-0.
"GOAL!!!! The 91st goal of the year! Lin finally caught up with Messi's record! It's really scary!
Messi started his career in 2003, and it was not until 2012 that he broke Muller's 40-year-old personal scoring record in the five major leagues. Lin Yun caught up with this record in the first year of his career!
With only one goal left, we will become witnesses of history! "
Lin Yun opened his arms, ran to the sidelines, clenched his fists and waved lightly.
All the fans stood up and applauded.
Giroud ran up, put his arm around his shoulders and shook him, "There's only one ball left. Why do I feel more excited than you?"
“Because you’re going to be in the best position in the world to witness the birth of a new record.”
"Oh, I swear, I won't blink, I'll look at you closely, waiting for that moment to come."
"I hope so. In fact, I feel like my feet are not very smooth today..."
"Stop coming!" Giroud slapped him angrily, "Three shots and two goals. Are you telling me that you have bad footwork?!!"
"I mean it feels like..."
"Go to the mud horse! You must be kidding me!"
Trailing by two goals in half an hour, Evergrande no longer dared to demand victory and could only continue to defend and counterattack.
On the one hand, he is afraid that he will be beaten by Arsenal like Manchester City. On the other hand, he does not want to become the backdrop for Lin Yun's record-breaking performance.
Lin Yun was indeed not in a good condition as he said, and he was a little sluggish in the following time, but in the eyes of others, there was another interpretation.
Some people thought he was being lenient, but more people thought he wanted to save the record until the finals before breaking it.
Messi's 91 goals in the year only brought a King's Cup championship to Barcelona, while Lin Yun's 91 goals have brought a Big Ear Cup and a European Super Cup to Arsenal, and also brought back a World Youth Championship to England. Championship, if a Club World Cup is added to the list, then the gold content of his annual goal record will be even higher.
In fact, Mendes also suggested that if he was really sure, it would be best to break the record in the finals.
More topical.
Of course, breaking the record with Evergrande would be equally topical, but he had not scored the third goal until the 60th minute of the game, and Wenger directly replaced him.
Cazorla, who came on as a substitute, quickly helped Arsenal gain another victory and beat their opponents 3-0.
When the jerseys were exchanged at the end of the game, Zheng Zhi's eyes actually showed a bit of gratitude, which made Lin Yun baffled.
"Unfortunately, Evergrande failed to create a miracle after all, and for the entire 90 minutes, they didn't even have a shot on target. Whether in the Chinese Super League or the AFC Champions League, Evergrande has never been so suppressed by its opponents.
The other semi-final will be held at 3:30 a.m. on the 19th, BJ time, against Atletico Mineiro and Casablanca. The winner will compete with Arsenal for the final championship, while Evergrande will compete with the loser for the third place. Battle.
The best record achieved by an Asian team in the Club World Cup was third place. If Evergrande can win, it can still tie the Asian team's Club World Cup record..."
Three hours later, the result of another semi-final came out. Atletico Mineiro unexpectedly lost to Casablanca.
Three days later, Guangzhou Evergrande lost 2-3 to Atletico Mineiro, and the final started three hours later.
"Compared with the 3-0 victory over Guangzhou Evergrande in the semi-finals, Arsenal's starting lineup made many changes: Modric, Wilshere, Theo Walcott and Sagna replaced Rosicky and Ramo respectively. Si, Podolski and Jenkinson started.
Casablanca deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation. "
Unlike Arsenal who directly entered the semi-finals, Casablanca came all the way from the preliminaries. After eliminating Auckland City, Monterrey and Atlético Mineiro, both their form and self-confidence reached their peak.
And although the Champions League champion is not good, judging from the results of previous Club World Cups, the Champions League champion is not invincible, and there are also many overturns, so Casablanca still has certain expectations for this game.
Unfortunately, the game was brought back to its original shape as soon as it started.
The superior Arsenal firmly controlled the situation from the first minute of the game.
In the 5th minute, Wilshere sent Lin Yun an exquisite through ball. Lin Yun succeeded in countering offside, but the single-handed ball rarely hit the goalkeeper. Arsenal only got a corner kick.
Arteta deliberately drove the ball to the edge of the penalty area. Wilshere headed the ball forward to the right. Giroud stopped the ball on his chest and turned around to hit the goal. The football hit the dead center.
1-0.
In the 9th minute, Walcott received the ball on the left side of the small penalty area and turned back with his heel. Sagna followed up and shot a low shot but was saved by the goalkeeper.
One minute later, Yajur inserted a low shot from the right side of the penalty area and was easily obtained by Fabianski.
In the 17th minute, Wilshere made a pass from the left. Modric inserted into the penalty area and dunked Ben Ramalem on the left. Just when everyone thought he was going to hit the goal, he unexpectedly swept the ball to the other side of the goal. .
Lin Yun ran at full speed, but the football still rubbed his toes and rolled over.
"Modric did not take a kick when facing the goalkeeper, but chose to assist Lin Yun. Unfortunately, Lin Yun was too far away from the goal. I can only say that good things come in a long way..."
Lin Yun shook his head and said to the magic flute: "It's not necessary."
Magic Flute said: "Compared to an insignificant goal, I hope to leave my mark on a great record."
"Be patient, it won't be long..."
Not long indeed.
In the 36th minute of the game, the much-anticipated scene finally arrived.
Lin Yun took the ball in the midfield and launched a long-distance attack. He passed the ball to the penalty area and then went straight into the penalty area.
Modric protected the ball and struggled with the defender for a few seconds, and he saw the right time and passed with the instep of his foot.
Lin Yun broke out from the defenders, his body flew into the air, his left foot stretched forward, and his spikes hit the goal.
Demon flying kick!
"Modric passed the ball with the outside of his instep, Lin Yunfei kicked the goal, and finally scored!
Let us remember this moment, on December 22, 2013, a new record was born!
With 92 goals in the year, Lin Yun surpassed Messi and set a new annual personal goal record in the five major leagues! "
"From February 2013 to December 2013, in just over 10 months, Lin Yun grew from an unknown to a world-famous champion player. He not only led Arsenal to create a new history, but he also Entered the history of world football."
"42 games, 92 goals, three championships, of course, you can also boldly say, four championships, this is the report card that Lin Yun handed over in the first year of his career.
Lin Yun’s parents probably never dreamed of what they would bring to the world of football the moment they sent Lin Yun to the Reading youth training camp..."
This is Casablanca's home court, but all the fans stood up and applauded Lin Yun at this moment. Even the Casablanca players on the field and the Casablanca coaching staff on the sidelines were applauding him.
Lin Yun walked to the sidelines, and Rosicky came out from the bench and handed a jersey to him.
Lin Yun unfolded the jersey, raised it high above his head, and displayed the "92" on the back of the jersey in front of everyone...
