This is Szczesny's fifth year in London.

He still vividly remembers playing in the youth team of Legia in Warsaw, Poland, in the winter of the fifteenth year, when he was still played in the youth team of Legia Warsaw, Poland, and Arsenal scouts approached him and took him to London during the winter break in 2006.

At that time, the main goalkeeper of the first team of Legia Warsaw was his current Arsenal teammate and rival, Fabianski, and at that time there was a well-known talented striker in the team, Robert Lewandowski.

Leaving his home country at the age of fifteen and struggling to England on his own, Szczesny first trained in Arsenal's academy before moving on loan at Brentford in England's third tier at the age of nineteen, where he was recognised by Arsenal after a season of regular play, so he was retained in the team this summer and promoted to the first team.

At present, Arsenal's two goalkeepers are Almunia and Fabianski, the former has not been consistent at Arsenal in recent years, and the latter is the same, so Arsenal has high hopes for Szczesny, Wenger even publicly said in an interview with the media, "I really believe that he will become Arsenal's No. 1 goalkeeper one day." ”

This undoubtedly gave Szczesny a strong self-confidence and high morale.

In addition to the coaching staff, luck was clearly on Szczesny's side.

With the start of the season, Spanish veterans Almuña and Fabianski were injured one after another, and this was a godsend that led to the second-ranking third goalkeeper Szczesny becoming the only goalkeeper in the Arsenal team after December, and he was the backbone of the team.

Szczesny did not disappoint his coaching staff and team-mates, and in the games since January, he has shown his quality one after another, but he has kept the Arsenal goal in check, which is quite good for the goalkeeper-stricken Gunners.

But Szczesny is not satisfied, he feels he can do better, and he wants to take advantage of this God-given opportunity to become Arsenal's first-choice goalkeeper, so he will be keen to perform in the Carabao Cup final.

Because this time the opponent is Manchester City.

Manchester City's head coach is Gao Han, who once took his friend Lewandowski out of Poland and trained him into a well-known European striker, who Szczesny envied and admired.

After the start of this match, Szczesny was very active, he did not limit his range of activities to the small penalty area, but frequently and decisively, his excitement was also stimulating his body and cranial nerves, and even he felt that his every reaction was faster than usual.

Szczesny's performance has also earned him frequent appreciation and affirmation from Arsenal fans, which has undoubtedly made him more confident.

In the 26th minute, Arsenal launched a counter-attack into the City penalty area, but the ball was cut off and Xavi Martinez diverted a long ball into the front.

Both of Djourou and Koscielny were behind to secure a good position, but Manchester City's striker Sturridge refused to give up and chased the ball desperately, which made Julu a little nervous.

Just when everyone thought that Zhu Lu had seized the most advantageous position and would definitely be able to push the ball back to the midfield, he didn't expect that he didn't touch the ball after jumping high.

At that moment, everyone exclaimed, even Zhu Lu's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that he had leaked the top.

Szczesny behind him and Koscielny next to him were both shocked, and they both chose to pounce on the ball at the first time, wanting to make up for the mistakes of their teammates at the critical moment.

"I'm coming!"

"I'm coming!"

The two shouted in unison, but neither of them cared about anything else and chased after the ball.

They all saw Sturridge, the England striker who was so fast that if he caught up with the ball, they would all be doomed.

The two caught up with the ball almost at the same time, Koscielny picked up his foot, wanted to clear the ball directly, Szczesny was shocked, for fear of being kicked by Koscielny, and quickly stopped the action of pounced on the ball, and Koscielny was also surprised, for fear of kicking the goalkeeper, subconsciously retracted his foot.

By mistake, neither of them was able to clear the siege in time, resulting in the ball hitting the ground and bounced off quickly, but at this time, Sturridge, who was chasing all the way from behind, caught up with the ball faster than them, and rebounded and gently pushed the ball that was about to land.

The ball went quickly, in a straight line, into the unguarded Arsenal goal.

Szczesny and Koscielny sat on their knees, both looking at each other in disbelief and collapsed there with all their strength exhausted.

Neither of them could believe that they could make such a mistake, and both were deeply immersed in remorse.

Behind them, Sturridge, who had been chasing after him, turned and rushed off the pitch, frantically celebrating the sudden goal, raising his right hand in the air and shouting excitedly to the fans in the stands, and all the Manchester City players rushed forward in a frenzy, surrounding him in the middle.

…………

…………

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！”

'Oh my God, Arsenal's backline made a very bizarre but fatal mistake in the 26th minute. ”

Julu's leaky overhead surprised both of his team-mates, and then there was a clash in the judgment, and as a result, neither side could clear the ball in the first place, resulting in Sturridge picking up a big bargain. ”

'It was a really bad mistake and both Szczesny and Koscielny looked extremely frustrated. ”

'They do have reason to be frustrated because conceding a goal would change the situation on the pitch completely. ”

'It's hard to say who was more to blame for this mistake, but it's undeniable that in this game, Arsenal's backline was badly underwhelmed, with goalkeeper Szczesny bringing down Sturridge shortly after the start of the game, a penalty that was unquestionable but escaped due to a linesman's miscalculation. ”

But this time, it was definitely a conflict between him and his team-mates, neither of whom adjusted their tacit understanding in time and pounced on the ball at the same time, resulting in neither of them being able to clear the ball in time, which is quite a bad phenomenon. ”

"As we said in the commentary just now, Arsenal's problem is that there are a lot of young players in the team, goalkeeper Szczesny has only recently taken over, Koscielny, Julu and Squeiraci have not been able to develop a tacit understanding, so Arsenal's defensive concerns have not been effectively resolved. ”

Now, this mistake has brought the problem back to light and it will be up to manager Arsene Wenger to fix it. ”

…………

…………

Arsene Wenger seemed to have known that the live TV camera would be on himself on the sidelines, so he looked the same as usual, still with the same bitter and hateful expression, as if to say, what can I do?

Djuroux leaked the top and disrupted the plans of all the defenders, and it can be seen that he was indeed very nervous at the time, being chased by Sturridge all the way, and he wanted to clear the ball early, but the more this happened, the more prone it was to make mistakes in judgment.

It was Jurou's mistake that brought out the mismatch between Szczesny and Koscielny, which in turn made the persevering Sturridge pick up a big bargain, and what else could Wenger say?

Looking at the expressions of the three players in the stadium, who were either confused or remorseful, Wenger really couldn't say anything at this time, so he had better choose to remain silent.

'The point has come when we have to make a change. Assistant coach Pat Rice shook his head and sighed.

Why doesn't Wenger know it himself?

In the past few years, Arsenal's backline has never been better, and it can still stumble forward in the league, but in the cup, this problem is particularly obvious, and it has become the biggest knot in Arsenal's six years without a title.

But is that Wenger's reluctance to bring in reinforcements?

No, it's because he doesn't have any money.

In the past few years, excellent central defenders are basically worth 100 times, like Manchester United to introduce Pepe, Real Madrid to introduce Bruno Alves, worth 30 or 40 million at every turn, and not long ago Chelsea wanted to bring in David Luiz from Portugal, but Benfica refused to sell 30 million euros, plus Scolari stayed for a short time, so Abramovich hurriedly called for a halt to the deal.

Good central defenders are in short supply, and one can finally emerge, which may create a sky-high price at any time, which is not a choice for Arsenal, at least the Gunners can't afford to compete with that kind of financial resources.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Chelsea, Juventus...... Who doesn't have a shortage of centre-backs?

"Now is not the time to discuss this topic. Wenger said with a long sigh.

"It's hard to accept this mistake, but if you look at them, if you put pressure on them at this time, then they will collapse, so we should try to help them, after all, defenders, mistakes are inevitable. ”

When Wenger said this, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

This conceded goal basically means that he is a little further away from the championship, and it can even be said that there is no hope again.

"In addition to the defense, we also had a very serious problem in this game in the offensive end, Rosicky was too sluggish on the left flank, like a missing invisible man, which was obviously not satisfactory. ”

Pat Rice nodded, "Mascherano's defense on this side is indeed sharp, but Rosicky is also really too sluggish, should you replace him?"

Arsene Wenger is also a headache about this, replacing Rosicky, who can he replace?

With Cesc Fabregas absent, Wilshere alone cannot afford to pick up a midfielder, so he needs Rosicky, but it is clear that the veteran Czech has not been able to perform at a satisfactory level, forcing Nasri to drop back frequently.

The French midfielder is still the most eye-catching player in the Arsenal squad in this game, and his individual quality is outstanding, which will undoubtedly give him an advantage in the next contract extension negotiations, further forcing Arsene Wenger into an embarrassment.

And Cesc Fabregas, Barcelona and Real Madrid are back in the driver's seat, can they keep it this summer?

Van Persie is also a big problem, many years without a title made him a little disappointed in the team, and after his comeback, he showed explosive form, which certainly made Wenger happy, but also worried him.

Is the Dutch centre-forward still willing to stay at Arsenal?

There were so many things that came to his head that Wenger's whole head was stirred up and he was dizzy.

Sometimes he even thinks that he just doesn't do it, with his current status, why should he be so angry?

But on second thought, he felt unwilling.

It's like Ferguson's guy who has to win the championship again before he wants to retire.

Why not?
