Strong Waist

Chapter 97: Semi-finals

The game entered the second half.

Arsenal and Liverpool have both made some adjustments, and Liverpool has even changed their offensive players in order to create more impact.

Although the situation has changed, it is extremely difficult for Liverpool players to maintain the game when facing a three-goal deficit.

And when the game time entered 80 minutes, their overall morale slowly dropped.

If a goal can be scored, this may be a turning point for Liverpool.

But now, trying to get three goals back in less than 20 minutes is almost a fantasy.

After Liverpool's morale declined, Arsenal's defensive pressure also decreased.

Mourinho even used the last substitution to replace Lucky.

When Lucky came off the field, his expression was also quite tired.

In this game, Lucai played very well, almost dominating.

But at the same time, it also drained Lucai's physical energy.

When he came off the field, the entire Emirates Stadium burst into applause.

Arsenal fans gave their captain a standing ovation as he thanked him for the three goals.

Odegaard, who came on as a substitute, also looked excited.

After Lucky and Odegaard high-fived, they returned to the bench and sat down to rest.

"worn out!"

After Lucky sat down, he took a big gulp of water, his chest still heaving violently.

Arteta came over and helped Lucky relax his leg muscles.

"You're playing too hard!"

After gaining the advantage, Lucai still maintained his original running range and speed. He could obviously be lazy and take a rest.

But Lucky didn't do that, but based on Lucky's running, Arsenal stabilized the defense and completely overwhelmed Liverpool.

"It won't work if I don't kick like this!" Lucky unscrewed the cap of the bottle and poured the remaining water on his head.

The cold water touched the scalp and skin and instantly gave people a cooling feeling. Lucky also let out a long breath for this.

"I don't want to be in a point-grabbing battle with Liverpool in the 37th or 38th round."

"It will be more beneficial for us to gain points in the Champions League as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Arteta nodded and smiled: "You did a good job, look! Our players also became excited."

The two looked around and saw that the gunners in the field were also actively defending.

Their voices are high-pitched and powerful.

Because Lucky created an advantage for them early, Arsenal's performance throughout the game was full of positivity.

Especially with psychological encouragement and adjustment, they become more confident.

Seeing the overall positive changes, Lucai also smiled happily.

In the final injury time, Liverpool's counterattack became even more fierce.

Moreover, under the excessive score gap, their mentality was also ups and downs, and some of their confrontation and defensive limbs began to become larger.

This also makes Arsenal players more prone to injuries.

Mourinho kept making protest movements towards the fourth official. He did not want his players to be injured in this game.

Aubameyang felt very uncomfortable returning to the hospital bed.

If other players are injured, what will happen next in the FA Cup final and Champions League semi-finals?

If there are enough substitutions, he really wants to replace all the players.

Fortunately, despite the fierce confrontation, the Arsenal players were still smart. They knew they could not get injured at this time, so they played relatively calmly.

When the full-time whistle sounded, Arsenal finally won the 36th round of the Premier League.

With only two rounds left in the league, Arsenal finally opened up the points gap with Liverpool.

They defeated Liverpool in a head-to-head confrontation and at the same time returned themselves to the top of the standings at the end of the season.

Of course, as the biggest contributor to this game, Lucai was also surrounded by media reporters.

"I feel like I'm in good shape, and after scoring the first long-range shot, I also thought that the second long-range shot could also score a goal, and that's what I did!"

"For me, my personal performance is not important, the team's victory is the first priority!"

"My teammates helped me open up the space, and I also scored goals for my teammates. I think this is the best result."

"Being able to score points in the final stage is also a very good thing for us. Of course, this game is not that easy."

When facing reporters, Lucai spoke at length and seemed very excited.

Obviously, he's really excited based on this win.

After the interview was over, Lucky returned to the locker room.

However, the teammates did not celebrate after the slapstick, but packed their bags one by one and prepared to go back.

This is not a good time to celebrate.

After all, three days later, they will face the Champions League semi-finals on midweek night.

RB Leipzig will come to the Emirates Stadium for a Champions League semi-final match in the first leg.

For RB Leipzig, they have made great progress in the Champions League. Even losing to Arsenal is not a problem. On the other hand, based on their previous outstanding performance, they can gain more.

Arsenal's goal has never been the semi-finals or finals, but the championship!

For this reason, not only this game, Arsenal also have to consider the final.

Based on these problems, the players needed to adjust their status, so there was no celebration.

Returning to the training base, Mourinho quickly let the players go back to rest.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Arsenal began tactical drills for the Champions League semi-finals.

RB Leipzig is a team that focuses on defensive counterattacks, and when they face Arsenal, they will most likely use defensive counterattack tactics.

How to tear apart RB Leipzig's defense has become a problem that Arsenal needs to solve.

As for Mourinho, he still plans to leave this job to Lucky.

Recently, Lucky's state has been explosive.

Although the previous performance was also very stable, it was not in such an unstoppable situation as it has been recently.

For this reason, it is Mourinho's idea to give the ball to the most threatening player.

To put it simply, it is a cannon!

Let the cannon bombard the opponent's walls.

For three days, the whole of London was in a state of excitement.

Especially the Arsenal fans, they believe that the Gunners can defeat any opponent, let alone RB Leipzig.

For Arsenal fans, among the current Champions League semi-finals, the only one that can pose a threat to them is Bayern Munich.

And there is a high probability that the two teams will meet in the finals.

RB Leipzig arrived in London by plane on Tuesday.

They arrived a day early and planned to train in London.

As the most disliked team in Germany, RB Leipzig is still despised by German fans despite entering the semi-finals of the Champions League. They believe that RB Leipzig just takes advantage of capital and these guys do not play pure football.

Even on the day of RB Leipzig's departure, someone rented a plane and pulled a banner that read, "Victory has nothing to do with you."

This banner also shows the attitude of most German fans towards RB Leipzig.

At this time, the RB Leipzig players also had a bad breath, and they wanted to prove themselves.

Even though they can't beat Arsenal, they still have to cause some trouble for Arsenal, using the method they are best at.

For this reason, these ridicules and abuses have aroused the competitive spirit of RB Leipzig players.

At the same time, Arsenal is also actively preparing for the game.

Although RB Leipzig's overall lineup cannot compete with Arsenal, the opponent's ability to reach the Champions League semi-finals cannot be explained by just good luck.

RB Leipzig still has certain strength and is very good at defense. While stabilizing the defense, it can score goals on counterattacks.

Arsenal's tactics are also very simple, that is, using the style of play they are most familiar with.

Facing this kind of team with less information and less attention, Mourinho's main focus is confidence!

Rather than using targeted tactics that end up being self-defeating, it is better to use the style of play you are most familiar with, so that you have to adjust even if something goes wrong.

And when facing RB Leipzig, Mourinho believed that it was a very good decision to put some pressure on the players.

He believes that RB Leipzig's teamwork is very good, but there is still some gap between the individual players and Arsenal.

And this gap is the key to his changing situation!
