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

Chapter 75 Meet Gua Shuai Again! (Chapter 4000)

When the Arsenal team returned to London that night.

The draw for the semi-finals of the Europa League was held. Arsenal were lucky. They drew the biggest dark horse in the Europa League this season, Slavia Prague.

This team is from the Czech League, with a solid style of play and a certain amount of luck, they advanced to the semi-finals of the Europa League.

The first round will be on April 4.

The current time is March 3, but in the second half of March, there will be no Premier League games for the time being, so the Arsenal team can take a good rest.

When it comes to April, the Premier League giants will compete for the real top four.

Although before this, the team will have a holiday for a period of time, but the equation did not stop coming to the base for additional training.

He is definitely not the only one who chooses to practice extra like this. Many teammates are also self-disciplined. They come to the base for training in the morning and go home in the afternoon.

This morning, Equation came to the training base again on time.

Then, he accidentally saw Lacazette, Xhaka, Saka and a few others together, as if they were reading some newspapers.

Fang Fang came over, took off the sports earphones, and asked them curiously: "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

Xhaka put down the newspaper and said disdainfully: "It's not a big deal. These are a few old newspapers that Saka picked up on the way here. I saw that the news in the past few days was all about the Champions League. And we won Atletico Madrid. There's no room for us in the corner of the front page."

Fang Fang picked up the newspaper and looked, and sure enough, he saw that the front page was full of content about the UEFA Champions League.
Among them, the portrait of Sun Xingmin is particularly conspicuous, and the C is in the middle.Because Sun Xingmin scored twice to help Tottenham defeat the mighty Manchester City and advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League!

"."

Fang Fang glanced at it, then put down the newspaper.

Not much reaction.

Because he knew Tottenham would lose to Liverpool in the end.How happy Tottenham are to advance now, how painful it will be after the final.

but,

Lacazette sat beside him, his face was a little silent, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Fang Fang glanced at Lacazette and knew what the other party was thinking.

Lacazette has been at Arsenal for more than two years, but he has not even played a Champions League game at Arsenal.

The UEFA Champions League is a place where many football players want to play, there is the highest level of competitive intensity!It is a place where you can prove your strength!
But when Lacazette was in Lyon in Ligue [-], he still had Champions League games to play!
But now at Arsenal, he never had this chance again.Perhaps only he himself knows the taste of the gap.

Fang Fang felt that he should say something, but it was the captain Xhaka who spoke first. He patted Lacazette and said: "It's okay, we will play in the Champions League next season. At that time, all newspapers will be on the front page There are our shadows!"

Knowing that his teammates were cheering him on, Lacazette nodded, his eyes became firmer, "Yes, we will definitely be able to play in the Champions League!"

After this little episode, the equation is in training, and it is obvious that everyone is holding a breath in their hearts, and the training has become even harder.

Fang Fang retracted his gaze, his expression a little confused.

I don't know whether this psychological change of teammates is good or bad.

On April 4, Arsenal ushered in the 2st round of the Premier League.

After these days of rest, the team has now recovered.

Facing this final four-game schedule, everyone has already made sufficient psychological preparations.

In the past half of the season, they have experienced a lot, and they have encountered many doubts and puzzles along the way.

Fortunately, everyone worked together and finally reached the end of the season with the third place in the Premier League.

Professor Wenger also excluded unstable players from the squad.

After overcoming so many difficulties, the whole team can come together.

And because of the arrival of the equation, Arsenal's long-standing weakness in the waist has been completely resolved!Now that Iwobi has retreated and played steadily, Arsenal have more choices!

There are only eight rounds left in the Premier League schedule!
Everyone firmly believes that Arsenal can achieve the goals set this season.

A reunited Arsenal are unstoppable
时间一眨眼到了4月18日，阿森纳有惊无险地取得了联赛4连胜，排名稳定在联赛第3名，领先No.5的切尔西有7分。

Subsequently,

When the 34th round of the Premier League started, Chelsea played the game one day earlier. However, Chelsea only got one draw in the end, a 1:1 draw with Watford.

If Arsenal can win the 34th round of the Premier League game, they will lead Chelsea by 9 points!
This is a crucial game!

If they can win, Arsenal will continue to be ranked 3rd, Chelsea will still be ranked 5th.

At that time, there are only 4 games left in the Premier League.Even if Chelsea wanted to catch up, it was already too late.Even if they scored 4 points in all four games, it still depends on the state of the four opponents.
Arsenal's opponent in the 34th round is Brighton.

In the recent three league games against Brighton, Arsenal is actually not dominant, with 1 win, 1 loss and 1 draw.

Brighton are on the verge of becoming Arsenal's sufferer.

The last time Arsenal could win this opponent dates back to October 2017, 10.

And this year, Brighton has already confirmed relegation.

However, this does not mean that this team will become hopeless.

On the contrary, in recent years, when these mid-to-lower teams that have successfully relegated encounter Arsenal, they will always feel like they have been hit with chicken blood. They either shrink back or make fouls.

Equation felt it was time for these teams to pay off their debts.

Every time I want to be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

But the straw is easy to break, how can it just hit the camel every time?

Therefore, before the game even started, Equation was already gearing up, trying to give some color to these relegation teams who like to make trouble.

Soon in the first half, Fang Fang took the ball and fought for a free kick in the frontcourt.

Lacazette will naturally give him this opportunity.

Fang Fang exhaled, thinking about not scoring this time, and the next time, there is no need to worry about the free kick hit rate.

Then, glancing at the direction of the goal, he kicked it out!
I saw the football draw a full moon scimitar in the air, and fell into the gate of Brighton!

Arsenal lead by one goal! !

Some Brighton players just felt very unconvinced. They hurriedly surrounded the referee and complained that the Oriental was diving just now and there was no chance of a free kick!
However, the referee will not listen to one-sided words, and signaled the Brighton people not to talk too much.

After seeing that the opponent is still not convinced, the way of responding to the equation is very simple, that is, to go all out!

Since you are not convinced, then fight until your opponent is convinced.

On the football field, he speaks with hard power.

After leading by one goal, Arsenal still did not choose to retreat.Fang Fang cooperated with the offense of Saka, Nketiah and Lacazette in the frontcourt, keeping the opponent under pressure!
In the No.607 minute of the second half, after the equation was cut inside, he kicked an unsolvable heavy shot, which caused Brighton's goalkeeper Ryan to let go.

Nketiah, who was wandering in the small penalty area, shot the football into the goal!
The score is 0:2!Arsenal lead by 2 goals!
Next, it's time to torture your opponent.The equation continues to pass the football in the midfield, it depends on whether the opponent wants to reverse the game, if they don't come up to grab the ball, then they will patiently pass the football and kill the rest of the game time.

Brighton's players came up to grab the ball, only to be run away by the football.

The rhythm of the game was tightly controlled by Arsenal, and the final score was 0:2. Arsenal took away the victory from the away game!

In the post-match standings,
No. 3, Arsenal, 22 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses

4th, Tottenham Hotspur, 20 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses

No. 5, Chelsea, 18 wins, 9 draws and 7 losses

Arsenal completed their goal this round, leading Chelsea by nine points.

If Arsenal win another game against Leicester City in the 35th round, then they will lock in the top four in advance and qualify for the Champions League next season!
Even if Chelsea wins the last three rounds, there is no way to qualify for the Champions League, unless the third-ranked Tottenham lose all subsequent games.

But before that, Arsenal will play a quarter-final of the FA Cup and another Europa League match.

on February 4.

London, Wembley Stadium.

Manchester City, ranked first in the Premier League, and Arsenal came here to compete.

Wembley Stadium was first built in 1923, and it was rebuilt at a cost of 7.8 million pounds. It can accommodate 6 spectators. It is the Great National Football Stadium and is recognized as one of the greatest stadiums in the world.

The name of this stadium is translated, and there is only one letter difference from Arsenal's former home stadium, Highbury Stadium, but these are two completely different stadiums.

Before the game, the outside world was generally optimistic that Manchester City could beat Arsenal and enter the FA Cup final!

Because of the nearly ten encounters between the two teams, Arsenal had 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses. The only victory was a 3:2 victory over Manchester City in a friendly match.

It can be seen that the strength gap between the two teams is very large.Coupled with Arsenal's recent continuous battles in the league, the physical fitness of the personnel has been exhausted.

But coach Wenger doesn't think so. In this game, he still sent Arsenal's main lineup!

Wenger thinks there is a chance to win Manchester City!

Because Manchester City is on the way to the championship, and there is only a small gap of two points with the second-ranked Liverpool.For the league championship, Guardiola will definitely choose to replace some of the main players.

This is a good opportunity for Arsenal.

Although some players on Manchester City's bench are also very good, they can come to Arsenal to play the main force.

However, a football game is not a game of simply competing for strength on paper!

If it was simply a competition of lineup strength, Manchester City might have already won the Champions League.

It is also impossible for Manchester City to lose to the fourth-ranked Tottenham in the Premier League in the previous quarter-finals of the Champions League.

It can be said,
The mental willpower of a team as a whole can greatly change the situation of the game.

The team that can win the championship may not be the best and strongest,

But they must be the most united and temperamental team!
Arsenal have experienced so many ups and downs this season, they have already undergone transformation, and everyone has been quietly twisted into one rope!

Uneasy factors have been eliminated outside the team!

No matter what kind of difficulties they face, they can advance and retreat together.

This is why Professor Wenger believes that the team can beat a mighty Manchester City.

Before the game, when warming up on the field.

Fang Fang was jogging alone on the sidelines. Suddenly he looked up and saw the head coach Pep Guardiola passing by.

Guardiola smiled flatly and waved to him, "Hey, how are you doing, how are you doing recently?"

Equation stopped and replied with a smile: "I'm sure I'm fine, what's the matter?"

Guardiola said lightly: "I happen to be free, and I want to say a few words to you. You should be able to qualify for the Champions League next season. Congratulations."

Fang Fang readily accepted, "Thank you for your congratulations, but we still lack a few championship trophies."

Guardiola nodded, "Young people are energetic, that's good. But, do you have a plan for next season?"

Equation heard something else, and replied: "Sorry, I haven't thought about it yet."

Guardiola said: "Okay, we will talk again when we have time."

"Well, I'm honored."

Equation said goodbye politely.

Watching Gua Shuai go away, Fang suddenly sighed.

I feel that Gua Shuai has not been easy in the Premier League in recent years.

Fans are tired of the Premier League championship trophy and eager to see Manchester City make a breakthrough in the Champions League. However, Manchester City has been transferred to the world's number one for three consecutive years, and the odds of the Champions League are the first every year, but they have never entered the Champions League final. Not even a chance to see the championship trophy.

Now, Guardiola's coaching style has been controversial.

In fact, since coaching Bayern Munich, Guardiola has not achieved brilliant results.It seems that after leaving Barcelona, ​​it has fallen into a decline.

I don't know when Guashuai can prove his coaching ability again.

but,

The equation is just a little bit emotional about Gua Shuai's coaching career.For this game, he will still go all out.

Equation has the same idea as head coach Arsene Wenger today. He feels that the team has a chance to win against the mighty Manchester City.

Especially after seeing that Manchester City's starting lineup today is 433,
Frontcourt: Sterling, Jesus, Mahrez

Midfielders: Silva, Gundogan, B. Silva

Backcourt: Delph, Laporte, Otamendi, Walker

Goalkeeper Ederson.

The equation is very clear that this lineup is not the complete body of Manchester City,

Because the opponent lacks De Bruyne, Aguero and Sane.They all sat on the Manchester City bench to rest today.Manchester City are at their strongest when they play together.

The most important thing is that the equation can't figure out why the opponent's Laporte can still be on the court. It was because of Laporte's two major mistakes before that that Manchester City finally lost to Tottenham in the Champions League knockout round.

Of course, one yard counts for one yard. As an opponent, Equation is still very willing to see this Laporte appear in Manchester City's defense.

Soon, the game officially started.

Arsenal won the ball by flipping a coin.

Fang Fang played as a front midfielder today, but at the beginning of the game, his position was not very high, but temporarily formed a formation similar to a double midfielder.

This is in response to Manchester City's high-pressure opening rush.

Equation's current ball-handling proficiency has reached 50%. Facing Manchester City's upsurge, it has been able to reach the point where it can do a job with ease.

He often catches the ball differently. This time Mahrez went up to grab the ball, he turned the ball around and easily passed the ball forward.

The next time he faced a teammate's return pass, he stepped forward to meet the ball and staggered the opponent's upper grab lightly.

Fang Fang used his keen observation ability to observe the surrounding situation before making the action of catching the ball. It is not a joint goal to grab the ball, and generally he cannot grab the ball at his feet.

This made Manchester City's frontcourt players feel a little uncomfortable, because they couldn't limit the point of the equation!
"This Fang, he has become powerful again!"

Guardiola was sitting on the sidelines with his hands folded. When he saw the calm temperament of Fang Fang who controlled the midfield, he couldn't help touching the top of his head.

The assistant coach on the side saw Gua Shuai's move and knew that this game would be difficult.
