Chapter 420

For the first time in team history, Arsenal reached the Champions League final, and Arsenal updated their history in this season when the 21th century and the [-]st century were handed over.

After losing to Valencia in the first away game, Arsenal are not optimistic about advancing. Although both teams can be regarded as newcomers to the Champions League, La Liga is much more famous in Europe than the current Premier League. Some big-name players It is rare to consider going to the Premier League when transferring, and La Liga and Serie A, where the lean camel is bigger than the horse, are the places that big-name players yearn for.

After qualifying for the final, Arsenal will have to focus on the league. There are two games left in the league, and they are only one point ahead of Manchester United. A mistake in any game may hand over the league title Send, Arsenal, who have already qualified for the Champions League final, now want more glory.

Arsenal's last two opponents in the league are Sheffield Wednesday United and Newcastle United.

Sheffield Wednesday is now ranked second to last in the league. Except for Watford, which has already been relegated, Sheffield Wednesday is only two points away from Wimbledon, which is third from last. They have to win all of their two games, and under such circumstances they still have a slight chance.

Arsenal's home game against Sheffield Wednesday will be Arsenal's last game at home this season, with the remaining round of Arsenal going to St James' Park, home to Newcastle.

Facing Sheffield Wednesday United, who are aiming to relegation, Arsenal still adopted a rotation in this game. After all, it was only three days since the last game against Valencia, and three days later they had to go to New York to play away. Kessel, Wenger doesn't want to be injured at this time, they are going to the Champions League final team.

Facing the red-eyed Sheffield Wednesday, Arsenal played with ease after the start of the game. Liu Han controlled the rhythm of the game very well in the midfield, and at the same time made the opponent's press look a little flustered.

However, Arsenal conceded another goal at the beginning of the second half. It was still Sheffield Wednesday's corner kick. This time it was replaced by their midfielder Beard.

Five or 10 minutes into the game, Arsenal actually fell behind Sheffield Wednesday, which was second to last in the league at home, which made it unacceptable for the home fans and the players themselves.

Liu Han began to withdraw slightly to the central midfielder position to stabilize the midfield situation. Arsenal's midfield and backcourt are now somewhat out of touch.

The Arsenal team, which stabilized under Liu Han's spare no effort to run, gradually regained control of the rhythm of the game. In the 70th minute of the game, Liu Han sent a precise through ball from the midfielder. Henry succeeded in countering offside and easily scored from the far corner.

As long as Arsenal beat the last league rival Newcastle away, Manchester United can only accept the fate of nothing this season.

Newcastle haven't had a good season this season. After sending away the "terrible" Gullit, although the team ushered in a meritorious coach Bobby Robertson, their performance this season has not improved. The team's midfield lacks A suitable organizer, and at the same time, there is no pinnacle on the back line. Except for Alan Shearer who is struggling to support the front line, this Newcastle team has lost the vigor of the past.

Facing Arsenal, which is aiming to win the championship, the only thing Newcastle has to do now is not to lose too ugly.

Wenger will do his best for this game. The Champions League final will be held on May 24. Arsenal have enough time to rest. What they want most now is to win this game. The league championship is just around the corner. Arsenal's players are bound to win.
