Chapter 1997 Undefeated January

The game was held at Southampton's home stadium, St. Mary's Stadium. Compared with the Gunners and some hostile clubs, the relationship between the Saints and the Gunners is not too bad.

Therefore, although the game was full of seats, people mainly heard the singing and shouting of the Saints fans, and a lively game was also carried out in such an atmosphere.

Liu Feng and Yuan Xiao were photographed appearing in the VIP booths in the stands long before the start of the game. Dressed in casual clothes, they became pure fans during the game.

The game started after the referee's whistle. Compared with Arsenal's large-scale rotation, Southampton can be said to be the best. With 451, they put on the strongest starting formation of the season.

Jay Rodriguez has a single forward, behind him Lallana and Jack Cork form an offensive midfielder, and behind him are three rear midfielders: Prado, Schneiderlin and Prose.

There is no doubt that Southampton has two cores in the midfield attack. One is Schneiderlin and the other is Lallana.

The back four are Luke Shaw, Klein, Yoshida Maya and Huiveld, and goalkeeper Davis.

This kind of starting lineup is the reliance of the Saints who are now firmly ranked ninth in the Premier League. Although they may not have enough star flavor, but only five players in this starting lineup have attracted the attention of major giants, which also makes their reputation well-deserved.

After the two commentators finished explaining the starting formations of the two sides, the game has entered a fierce stage. Both the Gunners' substitute players and the Southampton players played very relaxed.

In the 201st minute of the game, Arsenal took the lead and scored a goal. It was Rosicky's offensive advancement after receiving the ball that Cazorla broke from Lallana's feet.

He broke through the pincer attack between Cork and Prado in the way of Marseille's roundabout in the midfield, and then sent a pick to the left side near the baseline, where Chamberlain was excited since the start of the game.

This young player who was born in the Saints was determined to show what he had learned at Arsenal. After getting the ball, he smashed past the full-back who was rushing over him, and then passed the ball directly in an inverted triangle.

Just when everyone thought that the gunman's murderous intent was transferred to Poldowski, the German center stepped lightly, and the ball rolled silkily from between the two defenders into the small penalty area.

In the next second, Chamberlain, who had just shot out, tapped lightly in front of Davis, who had just attacked, and the ball flew into the goal from the side.

Chamberlain's performance continued. After the first goal was born, the Southampton team desperately wanted to equalize the score, so the saints soon began to press hard.

Under such circumstances, the Gunners remained calm. The experienced Rosicky knew very well that his opportunity had come after observing the opponent's pressure several times.

In the 401st minute of the game, the Saints' indiscriminate bombing was completely taken over by Arsenal's defense. When Cazorla once again stole the ball to Rosicky, both Chamberlain and Poldowski had already crossed the midfield line.

"A long pass to Poldowski and a header! He made fun of Maya Yoshida who was jumping towards him."

The carp jumping like a dragon's gate during the march was not just for fun. The ball was boosted up and flew directly behind the Saints' back line. Chamberlain, who crazily plugged in as if he was about to burn all his energy, came first to the ball amidst everyone's exclamation.

The subsequent story is very simple. He single-handedly took a shot just after crossing the penalty area line. Davis judged the wrong direction and couldn't get this shot.

2-0, the Gunners established a two-goal lead in the 43rd minute, which was also the score at halftime.

When the intermission came, a scene that people didn't expect appeared. When Chamberlain seemed to feel guilty about hitting the gate of his old club one after another, he lowered his head and walked towards the player channel, but the Saints fans shouted his name and applauded.

"Alex! Alex! Woohoo~~~"

With tears welling from the corners of his eyes, Chamberlain waved vigorously at the fans and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. After going home so many times, this time it really made him feel mixed.

No way, it is too difficult to gain a foothold in a highly competitive team like Arsenal.

Chamberlain is not the regular main force of the Gunners, nor is he one of the most popular players in the team. Sitting on the bench in every game, everyone can see the light in the youngster's eyes.

When he was in Southampton, the team gave him countless opportunities. From making mistakes to maturity, his growth is obvious to all. At this moment, this winger is really quite emotional.

After the start of the second half of the game, the passion between the two sides obviously faded a lot, but Southampton's willingness to recover the score is still very strong. They have been trying various offensive methods from the beginning of the game.

Finally, in the No. 70 minutes of the game, hard work paid off.

Schneiderlin launched an attack from the backcourt and appeared in the Gunners' half after a two-to-one cooperation with Prado. Then he and Lallana passed the ball with just two passes to achieve the goal of reaching the Gunners' midfield.

Although the Gunners' defense line encountered a strong block immediately, the ball was still seized by Schneiderlin and stuffed into the Gunners' penalty area.

Jay Rodriguez did not disappoint the fans. He calmly shot before and after the ball, and the ball flew into the left side of Fabianski's goal.

1-2, the home team Southampton recovered a goal, which made the Saints fans excited in the stands.

But that's all, because the professor then made a series of substitutions and adjustments, and the Gunners' offensive tactics changed into a counterattack with the ball in the next 10 minutes, which made it difficult for Southampton to find opportunities.

When the final whistle sounded, the score of the duel stayed at 1-2. The visiting team Arsenal won the game by one goal, and the players of both sides communicated cordially on the court.

Chamberlain won the MVP trophy on behalf of Arsenal for the first time. When he raised the trophy and came to the interview area, the Saints fans in the stands once again applauded him.

As for the Arsenal fans on the other side, let alone, everyone is full of praise for this player who played very well in this game.

Liu Feng and Yuan Xiao were also caught laughing and applauding Chamberlain in the stands.

Another league victory, and this is their last game in January. The Gunners' January is still an unbeaten month.
