Chapter 63
For the Rennes team, the equation is not unfamiliar at all,
Because he had just come to Europe before, he went to Rennes for trial training and was rejected after staying for a week.

Although he doesn't care much about it now,
But soon, some football media discovered the news and reported it one after another.

When Rennes' head coach Ramucci was interviewed recently, a reporter asked this question.

Head coach Lamucci's reaction was normal, saying: "I know that young man, and I would like to congratulate him on his outstanding performance in the Premier League. This should be the dream of many young players. It is not easy for him to achieve this step."

"About whether he has been to our team for trial training before, I actually don't know. It may be a misinformation. I will confirm this with the club when I go back."

"The game against Arsenal, we will definitely be ready. I am looking forward to playing against the Premier League teams in the Europa League."

Although the opponent's head coach's reaction was very flat, many fans who watched the excitement were still looking forward to this game.

However, before the 1/16 finals of the Europa League,
Arsenal have four more Premier League games to play against West Ham, Crystal Palace, Brighton and Burnley.

Among them, the games against Crystal Palace, Brighton and Burnley will be very difficult.Because it is now the end of the season, these three teams are only three points away from the relegation zone!
These relegation teams have always been tough. In order to succeed in relegation, they will do their best. After playing a game with them, they will lose their skin if they don't die.

Of course, that kind of relegation team with internal strife will be in a mess and vulnerable.

Because Arsenal, West Ham United and Crystal Palace are all football clubs in the same city,
So the game between them is also known as the London Derby.

After that, in these four rounds, Arsenal,

They only won the first two rounds, winning Burnley and West Ham United 0:2, 3:2.

But in the next two rounds,

There were injuries in the Arsenal team, and Monreal, the left back, was suspended due to injury.
So Krasinac, who has been on the bench, can only be allowed to enter the starting lineup.

However, it is not without reason that Krasinac can be squeezed on the bench by Monreal,

He played full-back defense basically relying on body and fouls.

Maybe it's okay for Krasinac to play wingback, because he can set up an pass, and there are central defenders and midfielders behind him to help defend.

However, once he plays full-back, his shortcomings of slow speed and unconscious defense will be magnified.

It's a pity that no one on the Arsenal bench can use it. Coach Wenger can only let Krasinac play as a full-back.

As a result, there was indeed a problem with Arsenal's defense. In the end, they failed to win Brighton and Crystal Palace. The two games were tied and lost. The score was 0:0 and 1:2!

Fortunately, other Premier League opponents also experienced turmoil in internal friction.

Only Tottenham Hotspur have won consecutively and rose to third place.

So, after 28 rounds of matches in the Premier League, the standings have undergone drastic changes——

3th, Tottenham Hotspur, 18 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses

No. 4, Arsenal, 17 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses

No. 5, Manchester United, 16 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses

No. 6, Chelsea, 16 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses

The situation for the fourth round became chaotic.

Because Manchester United's state has also picked up, closely following the No.4 Arsenal.

Therefore, the points difference between rankings 3, 4, 5, and 6 is very small, and it only needs to win one more game to squeeze out the three opponents.

Unfortunately, Arsenal had no time to adjust their status, and then ushered in the Europa League knockout round.

3 month 2 day.

In the first round, Arsenal went to the Lorian Road Stadium in Rennes, Ligue [-].

As soon as the game begins,
The state of the Arsenal team is a bit bad, because of continuous combat, resulting in a decline in physical fitness.

But with a wealth of high-level game experience, the Arsenal midfielder still controlled the rhythm of the game.

The equation reached the position of the front midfielder, and made a pass cooperation with the retreating Iwobi,
He ran straight to the middle with the ball, jumped slightly under his feet, and once again avoided the opponent's sliding shovel to grab it.

With a 46% ball-handling proficiency, Fang Fang still dared to dribble the ball at his feet when facing Ligue [-] opponents.

When the short pass penetrated to the top of the arc on the right side of the opponent, Fang Fang suddenly cast a cold arrow, aiming at the lower right corner of the goal and kicking a heavy artillery attack!
This long-range shot was powerful and heavy, passed through the feet of the two defenders, and hit the goal! !

Goalkeeper Kobic's vision was blocked and he fell to the ground late,

The football flew through his fingertips,

Then with a bang, it hit the post on the right side of the goal!
The audience suddenly exclaimed!
Equation was a little disappointed, but it was too late to get entangled, so he quickly retreated.

It's still early, and if one attack fails, they can organize another attack.

The time has not passed 3 minutes, and the two midfielders of Rennes, Andre and Grenier, made a mistake when passing the ball.

Papastathopoulos came up and grabbed the football, and then passed it to the equation organization to attack.

Fang Fang found Saka in the frontcourt with a straight kick in the midfield, which was as precise as a scalpel.

Saka didn't stop the ball, and found Aubameyang in the penalty area with an overhead pass.

Aubameyang stretched his body, jumped sideways, and shot decisively in the air! !
The football crashed into the net in an instant! !

With such a smooth cooperation, Rennes' players did not react at all!

Rennes' defense line was as fast as an avalanche.

however,
The referee suddenly raised his hand, indicating that the goal was offside!
Aubameyang was about to rush to the corner kick excitedly, but when he saw the referee's action, he was stunned.

Subsequently, the Arsenal players also felt dissatisfied and hurried to the referee to argue.

"Such a beautiful organization goal, how could it be offside???"

However, the referee ignored it and decisively showed a yellow card to Papastathopoulos who spoke fiercely.

Arsenal immediately felt unbelievable, and felt that the referee was too exaggerated!

Fang Fang hesitated to speak, and wanted to persuade his teammates to calm down.
But after seeing the referee show a yellow card, I also feel speechless.

The ball was given to Rennes,
The game restarts.

However, Arsenal seemed to be affected by this penalty, and several teammates were out of the game.

Mustafi didn't have time to come back from the frontcourt, and the right side was instantly empty.
Rennes striker, Ben Arfa took the opportunity to bring the ball up, and without any interference, he easily sent an early pass to the penalty area.

Papastathopoulos started slowly, and his opponent Thrall quickly stepped forward from his side,
He was anxious, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Sarr down on the penalty area line!
"Beep-"

The referee blew his whistle, took a look in his trouser pocket, and showed Papastathopoulos a yellow card again.

Two yellows turn one red!
Arsenal were sent off one man! !

All the Arsenal fans who watched this game felt incredible,

It's only 8 minutes, and Arsenal will play one less player? ?
However, the situation could get worse,

The opposing team, Borrejwood, took a free kick in the frontcourt, and the football flew into the goal through the gap in the wall.

The score is 1:0! !
Rennes scored first! !
