Chapter 139 You Can only Win, Not Fail!

This league is very good for Manchester City.

Not only has the home advantage, but the current form of Arsenal is also very beneficial to Manchester City - Arsenal are going to the Champions League semi-finals, and they have no energy to prepare for the game against Manchester City.

Arsenal have come a long way in the Champions League this season.

When Derby County, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool were eliminated one after another, Arsenal persisted to the end, and in the first leg of the semi-final with Villarreal, they won 1-0 at home, which allowed them to see the chance to advance to the final. hope.

It's historic for them because they've never gotten that far in the Champions League.

The second leg of the Champions League semi-final was just two days before the match between Manchester City and Arsenal. That is to say, there was only one day left for Arsenal to prepare for the game. Just after a big game, and returning to London from Spain , It is difficult to say what state Arsenal will be in, while Manchester City can prepare for the game wholeheartedly.

In addition, Manchester City is playing at home, the advantage is still obvious.

But it's hard to say that Manchester City will definitely win. After all, Arsenal is by no means a team to deal with. However, the media did not report much about the upcoming league at this time. They are obviously more interested in Arsenal's Champions League semi-finals.

If Arsenal make it to the final, England will have another new team in the Champions League final.

Wansheng is also watching the game.

He is not interested in the result of the match between Arsenal and Villarreal. Even if Arsenal reach the final, it is not his honor. It has nothing to do with him or Manchester City. What he cares about is the current Arsenal play Law.

So he also called all the players to watch the game together.

This Champions League semi-final is what many people are looking forward to. Villarreal is a Spanish team, and Arsenal is the representative of English offensive football. Many fans like Arsenal because their games are often beautiful. The two teams are likely to meet in an offensive battle.

But this game was different from what I imagined, and the whole game was quite dull.

The team in the red jersey on the field seemed not to be Arsenal, but another team, because they played quite conservatively. There is no offensive football at all.

If you don't know it's Arsenal. I'm afraid no one will think they have anything to do with Arsenal.

Defense wins, there is nothing wrong with this saying. When there is a goal advantage, it is very necessary to focus on defense. If you let go of your hands and feet and play offensive football with Villarreal, then the one goal advantage will easily disappear. None exist.

But this Arsenal game was too conservative, making the game very dull. They defended the entire game. Even hit the midline very rarely. Completely suppressed by Villarreal in the half.

Arsenal's defense is still doing well, until the end of the second half, Villarreal failed to break their door.

As long as the game is over, Arsenal will eliminate Villarreal into the final.

God just loves to joke around.

Arsenal have persisted until the last moment of the game, 90 minutes are about to pass, Villarreal still did not score a goal, at this time, defender Clichy fouled in the penalty area to give Villarreal a chance . The referee awarded Villarreal a penalty.

This penalty is especially valuable!

If Villarreal can score a penalty, then they can drag the game to extra time. At that time, who will win and who will lose is unknown!

But god just loves to joke... when Riquelme is on the penalty spot, a lot of people are already thinking about extra time, no one thinks Riquelme will miss the penalty, no one, only Because he is Riquelme.

But God is firmly on the opposite side of Villarreal!

Lehmann saves the penalty, and it is Arsenal who advance to the final!

A game without goals had a very dramatic ending, while leaving the pain in the Love Song Stadium. After the final whistle, Franco and other players cried on their backs.

This is a sad story.

To Riquelme, Villarreal...

But for Arsenal, it is a joy worth celebrating. After the game, head coach Wenger said in high spirits, "In the final, then what we want is to win the championship!"

Arsenal became the seventh British team and the first London team to reach the Champions League final after knocking out Villarreal.

"It's such an important game, and it's not about the prize money of the Champions League, whether Tottenham will finish fourth in the league, it's not about the new stadium, it's not even about Henry's whereabouts and Wenger's future." A die-hard Arsenal fan said, "It's important, it's going to tell everyone that Arsenal is the team that can get to that final stage."

So now, Arsenal are on that stage.

It was the most unforgettable night for Arsenal fans since May 26, 1989. 17 years ago, the team had to beat Liverpool 2-0 away to win the league title. In the end, Michael Thomas scored the second goal for Arsenal before the end of the game, and that day has also become "St. Michael's Day" for Arsenal fans.

Wenger's last words to his players before last night's game were, "Be yourself." But unfortunately, they didn't have a chance until the final whistle.

This 0 to 0 is over.

In the first leg, Riquelme fell victim to his team's strategy. At that time, Villarreal's defence was raised and the distance between the three midfielders was brought closer, determined not to give Arsenal any space in the frontcourt. They succeeded, successfully containing the opponent's attack, but also lost their core in the crowded midfield. Coupled with the special care of several Arsenal midfielders, Riquelme hardly showed any performance.

Six days later, it was Henry's turn.

Wansheng saw only one word in the match between Arsenal and Villarreal - conservative, Arsenal's conservativeness made his captain do nothing, five midfielders chased after Riquel Messolin Behind him, leaving Henry alone in the frontcourt.

No one wants to step forward, so it's no surprise that Arsenal's pass turnover rate is so high that it's hard to get through the midline.

Arsenal's conservativeness makes Wansheng hesitant.

The match between Manchester City and Arsenal is a 'must win' game, otherwise it will be a pity to win the championship in the last round of the league, so he has no more options.

Arsenal's conservatism is also a lesson for Manchester City. He sees the consequences, so there is no other option.

......

Most of the media were talking about Arsenal's promotion to the Champions League final, and they didn't realize until the day of the game that this league is also very important, because Manchester City is likely to win the championship ahead of schedule.

So the attention is back.

At this time, many people's views have been different. Many media analyzed that Manchester City had a great advantage before. The schedule, venue, personnel, etc., Manchester City can be said to be in the right place and the right place. Now it is different, because Arsenal defeated Villa. Real reached the Champions League final.

What does the Champions League have to do with the league?

It is estimated that no one can give a definite answer to this question. The two are different events, but one team can participate. It is said that the connection can only be placed on one team, but obviously participating in both will be scattered. The energy of the team, but the media has linked the two together and explained that it is very beneficial to Arsenal, because Arsenal can carry the power of Champions League victory and will perform better in the league.

In addition, the league is also very important to Arsenal.

They are currently ranked fourth in the league and have no hope of entering the league, but the fourth position is being bitten by the arch-rival Tottenham Hotspur. The two teams are only two points apart. As long as they are neglected, they may fall to fifth in the league. bit.

The fifth place in the league means that he cannot participate in the Champions League next season, unless Arsenal can win the Champions League, just like Liverpool did last season. In addition, Arsenal definitely do not want to be driven by Tottenham Hotspur Super, it's not just a question of rankings, but also because Tottenham are their sworn enemies.

Arsenal cannot tolerate being overtaken by their rivals in the same city in the league!

So in this league, Arsenal attaches great importance to it.

So many media said, "Arsenal will be able to perform better with the prestige of entering the Champions League. It is not easy for Manchester City to win the league title at home!"

"The game is equally important to Arsenal, it's about whether they can play in the Champions League next season!"

"Arsenal are not a good team to deal with, even though they have just finished the Champions League semi-finals..."

"..."

In the vigorous media reports, head coach Wenger also came in and talked about the game, "We have just returned from Spain, but I believe everyone will take the game seriously, because victory is equally important to us!"

"They are the league champions, but we are in the Champions League final!" Wenger obviously meant that Arsenal's results were no worse than Manchester City, "We didn't prepare much for the game, but I don't think we need to prepare anything in particular, we played against each other. However, we know each other very well, and we have the confidence to win the game even on the road."

Wansheng didn't say much about this.

At the last moment, there is no need to say more, let the game prove everything!

Soon the game will come.

In the home team's locker room, Wan Sheng looked at each player seriously, he could see the fiery in everyone's eyes, and everyone was looking forward to winning the championship.

He no longer needs to inspire everyone's fighting spirit.

"There's only one thing I want to say." Finally, in the expectation of everyone, Wan Sheng said, "Victory! We need victory! We must win!"

He looked out the window, where the Manchester City fans were already cheering. They couldn't wait for the game to start, and they couldn't wait to celebrate the championship. "All the fans are ready to celebrate the championship. We have to meet the fans' demands."

"I hope that after 90 minutes, the fans can wait for the championship and we can celebrate together!"

Everyone slammed into it.

There was a gleam in the eyes of every player who knew that this was the most important league game of the season.

To win, to win!

Failure... can only win, not fail! (To be continued ~^~)
