After a hard-fought win over Watford in the 33rd round of the league, Arsenal continued their away league campaign against Everton. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Arsenal will have to rotate for this game as it is on 27 April and will have to travel to Valencia for an away Champions League semi-final three days later.

The league has been going on so far, except for Liu Han, who has almost unlimited physical strength, he has not felt a little tired, and the other Arsenal players are inevitably a little tired, this tiredness is not only physical, but also mentally exhausted.

Although the Everton team is not too strong, they have always had the title of "giant killer", and in the league, the Everton team often staged a comeback.

However, the league has entered the end, and the Everton team, which is not afraid of the threat of relegation, will certainly not be too strong in the fighting spirit of the game, after all, they are also considered to have no desire.

The Arsenal team that came to Goodison Park replaced half of the main players, and the back line was composed of pure young players, but Wenger once again put Liu Han in the position of central defender, and let him be responsible for the defense of only young players.

Although the fighting spirit of the Everton team is not strong in the game, they will not give away the victory, and the midfielder Everton put on a double back, originally intended to deal with Liu Han, but he did not expect Liu Han to go directly to the position of central defender.

Arsenal's lineup, which is dominated by young players, is a little helpless in the face of a defence-oriented lineup like Everton, lacking Liu Han's scheduling in midfield, and Arsenal's attack lacks continuity.

The first half of the game ended in a draw.

After the start of the second half, under the command of Liu Han, Arsenal began to press the defense forward, and then looked for opportunities to make Everton attack offside, which was a bit risky, but it allowed the team to have an advantage in attack.

In the 67th minute of the game, Arsenal was able to break through the door of the Everton team, Liu Han took advantage of the opportunity of the corner kick to rush to the front, and the ball was pushed into the opponent's door under the attack of three defenders of the Everton team.

In the end, Arsenal relied on Liu Han's header to beat Everton 1-0, and they retained their one-point lead over Manchester United.

Immediately after their match with Everton, Arsenal will depart for Spain for their second trip to the Mestalla, but the difference is that they are now aiming to qualify for the final.

When Liu Han left, he put the weaned Erha Angel in the pet store, he had to go to Spain for at least four days, Liu Han didn't want Anna to be sad because he didn't take care of Angel.

The last time they went to Spain, the Arsenal players couldn't help but be a little apprehensive, after all, they are not a strong team in the Champions League, but now that Arsenal are going to Valencia again, they are all looking forward to the next game, after all, the Champions League is still one step away from them.

Coming to Valencia, the Mediterranean coast in late spring is already a bit hot, but fortunately Valencia is surrounded by plains and the climate is not particularly hot.

Facing the opponents they have already played against, the Arsenal team is full of confidence, after all, they have beaten their opponents twice in the group stage, which gives the Arsenal players a lot of confidence.

Valencia even gave up a league game in preparation for the Champions League semi-final against Arsenal, which brought the gap between them and league leaders Real Madrid to five points, so that with four rounds of league remaining, Valencia can be said to have basically given up the fight for the league title. (To clarify, the original league champion of La Liga this season was Deportivo La Coruna, but in order to make the Champions League competition more dramatic, the author changed the ranking of La Liga)

The abandonment of the league for the Champions League is a testament to Valencia's determination, and the arrogant Cooper has arguably gambled his career.

On May 1, with the referee's whistle, the Champions League semi-finals, which attracted the attention of the world, officially began.

At the Mestalla Stadium, more than 50,000 Valencia fans cheered on the home team with their singing, and Valencia put on a showmanship to attack Arsenal from the start of the game.

In this game, Liu Han returned to the central midfield position, and he wanted to blend the team's entire midfield together, connecting the defense and attack.

In the face of Valencia's onslaught, Liu Han appropriately retracted and came to Vieira's side to participate in the defense.

Valencia's tactics in this game were a big change from those in the group stage, with Mendieta going straight up to the midfield and the two wing-backs dropping back slightly, Valencia's attack was more from the middle.

Mendieta was very physical, he was not at a disadvantage in the one-on-one match with Vieira, and his technique was so good that Vieira felt a lot of pressure.

Liu Han duly began to move closer to Vieira, and he had to limit Mendieta's movements, otherwise it would remain a constant threat to the Arsenal defence.

Lopez and Angulo on Valencia's front line did not stay in the penalty area at this time, but frequently crossed and changed positions, and they could only attack in this way in the face of Arsenal's fierce physical confrontation in the backline, and one-on-one strong attacks had little effect.

Liu's retraction limited Mendieta's movement, but Valencia's two wings began to frantically assault Arsenal's wings at this point.

Valencia were under siege to Arsenal from the start of the game, and their defence was very high upfront, and Cooper wanted to crush Arsenal in this way.

In the face of such a strong tactic of the opponent, the Arsenal team seemed to be a little unprepared, Wenger put Liu Han in the midfield to be safe, but this also made them lack of deterrence in the front, I have to say, after entering the Champions League semi-finals, Wenger began to become a little nervous, after all, this is the first time in his coaching career to lead the team to the Champions League semi-finals.

Arsenal team is also facing a big problem in today's game is that they can only send the third goalkeeper Lukic in the goalkeeper position, the main goalkeeper Seaman was sent off in the last round of the game with Manchester United, so he was suspended for one game in this game, and the second goalkeeper Manninger was reimbursed for the season because of a wrist injury, so Wenger can only send the third goalkeeper Lukic who has little game experience today.

It's not easy to play away from home, it's even harder to play away from home against a united team, away from home against a team that has given up the league title race for the sake of victory is obviously very difficult to play, Arsenal are facing a situation right now, everything needs them to hold on to the game, and they have to hold on, qualification for the Champions League final is just around the corner, no one wants to give up such an opportunity.
