The poorest Premier League star, the whole network begs for money

Chapter 72 Luxurious midfield configuration

After playing all 29 rounds of the Premier League,
Arsenal's ranking rose to No.3, Tottenham lost because of being dragged down by the Champions League, Chelsea got a draw, and Manchester United was also tied by the relegation team.

With these three points, Arsenal took the crucial point and tightly held the initiative to compete for the fourth.

No. 3, Arsenal, 18 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses

4th, Tottenham Hotspur, 18 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses

No. 5, Manchester United, 16 wins, 8 draws and 5 losses

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

And Manchester City and Liverpool belong to another latitude of competition, not the latter few teams can get involved.

Regarding who will win the league championship in the end, the Premier League media are discussing every day, and celebrities from all walks of life often come out to rub the heat.

Therefore, the battle for the fourth can only appear in the corners of the front pages of major newspapers.

After Arsenal's game with Wolves, only two days later, they ushered in the FA Cup again.

This is a fifth-round knockout match. Arsenal will play against Swansea. If they can win, they can enter the quarter-finals.

However, Professor Wenger still chose to carry out lineup rotation,
The main players are already very tired, and there will be big problems if they don't rest.

Equation sat on the bench without incident.

In the midfield position, Iwobi played as a midfielder, and captain Xhaka topped the frontcourt.

In the game against Wolves, Iwobi performed well, so Wenger was relieved to continue to let Iwobi play as a midfielder.

3 month 11 day.

Arsenal came to the away game to play Swansea in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

At the beginning of the game, Arsenal still pressed their opponents to attack aggressively!

Although Arsenal have rotated most of the time, the forward is also the teenager Nketiah,
But the Swansea team still dare not come out to fight the bayonet.

It wasn't until the second half, No. 70 minutes, that Mkhitaryan made a supplementary shot in the chaotic penalty area, breaking the deadlock on the field.

Immediately afterwards, taking advantage of the gap created by Swansea's attack, Arsenal played a clean counterattack, and Enketia broke through the opponent's goal again!

The score is 0:2!

Arsenal advanced to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

However, the head coach Wenger was not very happy. He shook hands with the opponent's head coach, and he turned and walked towards the stadium channel.

Wenger's mind is now full of thoughts about Arsenal's next game -

In the quarter-finals of the Europa League, they will face Atletico Madrid at home!

In the previous Europa League draw, Arsenal once again drew this strong La Liga team.

Under the coaching of coach Simeone, Atletico Madrid has been promoted to the top three of the Western Super League. Under the rule of Barcelona and Real Madrid, they still have a chance to compete for the La Liga championship. They are very competitive!The defensive strength is also extremely terrifying!
Play a game with them, and even if you don't die, you will shed a layer of skin!

This is a life motto.

In particular, Arsenal has a deep understanding after being eliminated by Atletico Madrid with a total score of 1:2 last season.

On this day, Arsenal's training base was off work.

But Professor Wenger has not left the office yet, standing in front of the tactical board, still thinking.

The teaching assistant passed by the office and saw that Professor Wenger hadn't left work yet, so he asked curiously, "Do you still want to?"

Wenger nodded, "I'll think about it again."

The assistant coach understood and left without disturbing the head coach.

Wenger frowned, looking at the suddenly "crowded" midfielders on the tactical board, including Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, Xhaka, Equation, Ramsey, Torreira, Cazorla
At first glance, Arsenal's midfield configuration seems luxurious.

However, there are not many choices in reality!
Professor Wenger fell into a difficult situation for a while.

Who exactly should he field at home against Atletico Madrid?
finally,
Professor Wenger raised his hand silently, and took some number plates representing the players from the tactical board.

There is Mkhitaryan, Ramsey, Cazorla, and the equation
Although the equation has also been excluded from the starting lineup,
But on the second day, after the training, the head coach Wenger left the equation alone and explained it.

The reason why Equation lost the starting lineup was only due to tactical adjustments, not because of his poor ability, just because he can continue to maintain his physical fitness.

But when it's time to go to Atletico Madrid for the second leg, it's time for him to play!
After hearing these words, Equation immediately understood in his heart.

It turned out that Professor Wenger planned to have a decisive battle in the second round!
This is the trick to treat him as the bottom of the box!
Knowing that the head coach trusts him, Fang Fang feels that the responsibility on his shoulders has become heavier
Therefore, in the first round, Arsenal naturally had to focus on stability.

If you can hold a 0:0 game at home, that is a victory.

For this race strategy, the equation feels like it makes sense.Since Simeone and Atletico Madrid are known for their defense, they are even worse than Mourinho's defensive counterattack.

Then they will use the rule of away goals to play a tactic that is more stable than their opponents.

However, on March 3, when the Arsenal squad was announced an hour before the game, the outside world immediately became hotly debated.

Arsenal's formation is 442,

Goalkeeper Leno,

Backcourt: Monreal, Koscielny, Mustafi, Lichtsteiner,

Midfielders: Iwobi, Xhaka, Torreira, Kolasinac,

Frontcourt: Nketiah, Aubameyang.

quickly,

Some Tottenham and Manchester United celebrities put a big question mark on Arsenal's starting lineup on social media.

"What's the matter with Professor Wenger? Lacazette isn't there either?"

"Unreadable lineup. Is Wenger going to surrender at home?"

"Could it be that Wenger suspects that the Easterners let the water go in the Wolves game, and now punishes the Easterners to sit on the bench?"

Many Gunners fans feel confused, this starting lineup has no hope of winning at all.

Amidst many voices of doubt, the game started quickly.

Arsenal got the ball and tried to attack. Then the teenager Nketiah kicked a long shot, and his teammates quickly retreated.

It looks like he took the initiative to surrender the ball.

Then, it was Atletico Madrid's turn to attack, and they didn't have many offensive players, only Lemar, Morata, and Griezmann.

Morata, who stood in front of him, was still a two-legged invertebrate, and the football stopped two meters away instantly at his feet!

Monreal came up and easily defended Morata!

Stopping the ball two meters away is worse than an amateur!

Occasionally the bipedal can even trip itself.

Fang Fang was sitting on the bench, seeing this scene, couldn't help lowering his head.

really hot eyes
Lacazette next to him saw Mortara's stop and almost couldn't help laughing.

But there is still no shortage of market for Morata of this bipedal monster.

In the future, Morata's total transfer fee in the transfer market will reach 1.89 million euros, a figure second only to Neymar, Ronaldo and Lukaku.

Won the title of "Wealthy Transfer Player"!

Then, in the transfer fee list of Spanish players, Morata also ranked second. No.1 is guided by Chelsea goalkeeper Kay.

So sometimes, Equation can't understand the European transfer market.It feels like a capital game.
