Chapter 410 Advance to the Top 8

I thought I could narrow the points gap to 3 points, but I didn't expect that I didn't win the game. Wenger was also a little tearful. ? ?? ? Hunting? ? ?????????

But it doesn't matter, as long as Chelsea can beat Notts County, then Arsenal can still narrow the points gap, just from 3 points to 5 points, provided that Chelsea can really not hesitate to face Notts County.

Now Wenger has some doubts about how the script was written. Arsenal's win that was a certainty did not appear, so can Chelsea's victory over Notts County be realized?

You know, in the first round of the league clash, Notts County beat Chelsea's Xiang all out.

Well, silently cheer for Chelsea!

If Chelsea beat Notts County, then Chelsea's points have actually caught up. The Blues will only be 1 point behind the Gunners, but for Wenger, Notts County is the bigger threat, they are not A mercenary corps with different hearts.

However, the result of this strong dialogue made Wenger extremely frustrated, because Notts County won.

Ranieri's team caused a lot of trouble for Notts County at home. After integration, the Blues' combat effectiveness has long been incomparable, and it is not a piece of loose sand that Notts County can handle.

But Notts County, with its more stable state and comprehensive strength, won the Blues Chelsea and continued to move forward.

After this round of games, the narrowing of the score gap between Arsenal and Notts County not only failed to materialize, but instead widened the gap in points for Notts County. This result is really tragic.

As soon as the results of the match came out, reporters gathered around Wenger to conduct interviews, but the professor was in no mood to be arrogant with these reporters, and he had no face to face these obviously malicious reporters. You know, a week Before, he swore that Notts County had no background and experience in winning the championship, but now the result is Arsenal's gutter capsize. He feels that the whole world is full of malice towards Arsenal!

Seeing that Wenger didn't cooperate with the interview, the reporters deliberately spoke loudly to disgust Wenger, "Even if Notts County widens the points gap, but at least Chelsea lost, Arsenal also got rid of Chelsea and took the second place in the standings. It's solid!"

Wenger almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, "Who cares about Chelsea, we care about Notts County!"

The reporters were maddened to death, but Wenger was powerless to refute. At most, he was able to say a few words, but it didn't help at all.

Eight rounds left,

The professor has to admit that Arsenal's chances of winning the title are really slim.

Even if Notts County still has the task of the UEFA Cup, in the remaining 8 rounds of the league, Notts County really has no strong team that can stop them from hitting the final championship.

In 8 rounds of the league, 8 points are chased, and an average of 1 point is chased in one round. To tie Notts County.

This is not the end of it. You must know that Notts County's goal difference is far more than Arsenal's. That is to say, even if Arsenal tie the points, they will not be able to win the final championship.

It's too difficult!

Maybe this season is really a magical season for Notts County! Wenger felt a little helpless.

At this time, he will not be stupid enough to go to the media to say that he has won the championship, but will really focus his energy on the Champions League game. He should have made a choice.

After winning Chelsea, it not only pushed Arsenal away a bit, but also thwarted Chelsea's spirit. Notts County, the coach killer, has shown great power. If it wasn't for the end of the season, Abramovich would have directly Ranieri fired.

But at this time Notts County did not go to Arsenal or Chelsea, because their battlefield was switched to the UEFA Cup.

In the first round, it was only a small victory over Villarreal at home, and Loew did not dare to take the away trip lightly, so Notts County came to Spain three days in advance and began to do targeted training and arrangements.

But when the game started, David was stunned to discover that Riquelme, the absolute core figure of Villarreal, did not appear on the list. , with a gloomy face.

It seems that the contradiction between Riquelme and Pellegrini broke out, otherwise Pellegrini would not have put the absolute core of the team on the bench.

David is not interested in the contradiction between them, but this situation is undoubtedly very beneficial to Notts County. In any case, Riquelme is a powerful superstar. It may not be called great, but at least it is a generation. Master player.

If Mascherano is still sent to mark him full-time as in the first round, it may be able to limit Riquelme's attack, but it will also throw Notts County's midfield into chaos. Such unconventional tactics should be kept as little as possible. Works well.

Without Riquelme, Villarreal can't be considered a strong team, maybe even the middle level of La Liga, so the yellow submarines have not been able to create too many threats to Notts County at home. In the end, Notts County defeated the opponent with 1 goal away, eliminated the Yellow Submarine by the same score in the two rounds, and advanced to the top 8 of the UEFA Cup.

This season's UEFA Cup was originally a cloud of powerhouses, with a few struggling giants plus those relegated from the Champions League. The lineup is even comparable to the Champions League.

However, Notts County is lucky. Although they met the top five league teams such as Marseille and Villarreal in the knockout round, they did not meet the giants. Now that they have entered the quarter-finals, I am afraid they will not have such good luck. Relaxed down.

Sure enough, in the next 8 draws, Notts County met the Serie A giants Inter Milan.

In fact, in the top 8, none of the teams are underdogs, and no matter who they meet, there is no difference to Notts County.

However, from the perspective of the top 8, this season's UEFA Cup is really good.

Juventus Vs Valencia

Barcelona vs Roma

Newcastle; Notts County Vs Inter Milan, the strong teams have broken into the top 8 one after another, and also created the most exciting UEFA Cup.

At this time, the quarter-finals of the Champions League are much inferior. In the quarter-finals, only Real Madrid and Arsenal are left in the traditional giants. Although other teams are also good, they are undoubtedly much bleak.

Real Madrid and Arsenal are very happy. In their eyes, each other is the biggest opponent on the road to winning the championship. As long as they kill each other, the championship trophy will never fall by the wayside.

If David was told what they thought, he would have sneered in disdain.

You are thinking too much! (To be continued.)
