After this round of European knockout rounds, it will be the first national team break day of 2021, and many international players will temporarily put on the men's football jerseys of their respective countries to compete for a place in next year's World Cup in Qatar.

However, before that, some teams in England still have to play the FA Cup quarter-finals, much to the displeasure of the participating Premier League giants and some of the relevant national teams. Because this kind of schedule will have an aggravating effect on players whose physical condition is not ideal, the possibility of injuries will greatly increase, which can be said to be extremely irresponsible.

But the FA is also quite helpless, with the 2022 World Cup in Qatar set to take place in November-December for the first time, almost all European leagues will have to make enough time for that bizarre schedule. Combined with the adjustment period of at least two weeks, next season in all levels of the English league will have to start earlier than in July, which requires that the season should ideally end earlier than usual, so it is understandable that the fixtures are very tightly scheduled.

At this time, Li Mudi's choice to strategically abandon the domestic cup competition has become more and more intelligent, and the current fitness of Arsenal players is significantly better than that of other Premier League powerhouses, which has also become one of the key factors for them to play in most of the games in the closing stage.

Two weeks passed quickly, and Li Muddy took advantage of the team's vacation to go to Coventry to make another trip to make ideas for Hierro and others. The Blues' record in League One this season can only be described as mediocre, and they are currently 14th in the table after 38 rounds (there are 24 teams in League One), and relegation is a certainty, but there is also a big gap between the promotion play-off zone between third and sixth.

However, this does not mean that the team's coach Warren Joyce is not capable, after all, the club's general policy is to use one to two years to develop new talents, and the overall strength of the team is in the middle of the league at this level, which is basically in line with the current ranking.

But even so, the former Manchester United Under-18 boss won't be offered a new contract extension, with Morientes ready to take over the reins of Coventry's first team at the end of the season. As for Raul, who had planned to sit in this position, he has been transferred back to management for other reasons, all of which once again shows what it means to have a plan that does not change quickly.

At the beginning of March, news came from Spain that the 74-year-old president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, would assess whether his fitness would allow him to be re-elected before the start of the general election in September, and once the answer was no, it would mean that the Galacticos would have a new man at the helm after 18 years of the Galeries Lafayette era (2000-06, 2009-21).

And it is not surprising that Raul, who is bound to win this position, would make such a choice. And in all fairness, the former King of the Bernabeu, who dominated the field in his playing days, is really not a good material to be a head coach, and the evaluation given by the FM system is also a person's posture, and the future development is extremely limited, so it is better to do his favorite management work.

However, this unexpected event did not have much impact on Coventry's development plans for the next two or three years, because even if Galeries Lafayette did abdicate, Raul would be able to beat those deep-pocketed contenders to become the president of Real Madrid, at least in the short term, it would be impossible to recruit Hierro and others into the management of the parent team.

Because the current position of Real Madrid's veterans is still very stable, and the contributions of more than ten years are also obvious to all, it is best to wait for their old contracts to expire and leave on their own, which is the demeanor of a world's top giants.

And this time period is just right for Hierro to accumulate experience and contacts in England to prepare for the succession in the future.

Investing in the club is a long-term business, and Li Mudi does not want to get any financial benefits by running Coventry, he just hopes to use this platform to display all the plug-in abilities in his mind, so as to live up to the adventure of crossing a game, of course, if by the way, it can help the football career of the Celestial Empire to progress a little, it is a good thing.

Therefore, in the initial stage of the plan to revitalize this old club, he will not intervene too much, except for the help in attracting reinforcements and attracting corporate sponsorship from the Celestial Empire, the rest is still handled by those professionals, at least the current focus will still be on Arsenal.

In the past two weeks on the international stage, the Gunners have received a lot of news, including mixed news.

The good news is that Manchester City has two injuries in the team: De Bruyne and Mendy, which has reduced the strength of the blue moon to a certain extent, especially the absence of Tintin will have a huge impact on the attacking organization of the defending Premier League champions, even if Guardiola still has Gundogan and local rising star Foden, but it cannot replace the absolute core role of the Belgian. Thankfully, Kevin De Bruyne is almost certain to be in time for the crucial home game against Arsenal in a month's time, which can be regarded as a slight relief from the tension of Manchester City fans.

But the same injuries have also appeared on the Gunners' side, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has managed to stop spitting easily under Thierry Henry, sprained his left ankle in Sunday's final round of Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Democratic Republic of Congo and will also miss the next three weeks or so of training.

The injury of the American sheep has made the team's forward lineup thin again, and the next two sides of the league and European competitions will have to fight, relying only on Lacazette, Belasino and Welbeck is still somewhat reluctant, and it seems that they have to find a solution from the formation.

On April 1, April 1, the 32nd round of the Premier League kicked off on time, Arsenal away to Wolves, Li Muddy lined up a set of 4-3-3 positions, put Wilshere, Iwobi and Golovin into the starting line-up, assisting single center forward Alexandre Lacazette. With Welbeck replaced in the second half, the Gunners played 4-4-2 at half-time, but it didn't work well due to a lack of personnel at full-back.

In the end, thanks to a solid performance in the first half, the Premier League leaders still won 3-1 at Molineux Stadium and continued to sit at the top of the table with five points.

It's just that the Gunners fans were not too happy, because they had the opportunity to further widen the difference, but their rivals scored the winning goal in the last minute of injury time in this round of the league, and scored three points in a thrilling way, which makes people sigh at the good luck of the blue moon and the heritage of its top European team.

Three days later, Arsenal returned to their home turf and welcomed Everton, who were in full swing for the last European spot, and with the Big6 points lead already unshakable, seventh place in the league became the only straw in the eyes of several mid-table teams. With the Carabao Cup already decided and three of the FA Cup semi-finals coming from the top six, unless Leicester City can pull off two successive upsets to win the FA Cup for the first time in the club's history, the last European ticket will be deferred to seventh place in the Premier League.

As UEFA has decided to restructure the two existing European competitions from the 2022-23 season onwards, re-establishing the third tier of cups, it will inevitably reduce the number of teams participating in the Europa League, so it is likely that next season will be the last year of the four-Champions League plus three Europa League quota system.

While the Premier League, tentatively named the European Club Continental League, will have a better chance of going further and even winning titles, its commerciality will certainly not be comparable to the two divisions of European competition in a few years. And since most of the participating teams come from other small football countries, the gold content of the honor will not be recognized too much, which will not be attractive to the teams in the five major leagues.

Therefore, before the new three major cups are established, these mid-table teams in the Premier League still hope to seize this last opportunity to experience the European League, otherwise it will become more difficult for the rest of the teams to get the right to participate in the first two levels of European competition under the premise that the BIG6 is still strong.

Meeting the Toffees, who are eighth in the standings, will obviously not be an easy battle for the Gunners. The reality is basically the same as expected, Everton, who are already known for their excellent defense, have sacrificed the strategy of the iron bucket formation, leaving only Walcott and Richard Lison two fast horses in the front to counterattack, and even Icelandic sniper Sigurdsson retreated to the front of his own penalty area, defending in the middle with French midfielder Schneiderlin and Senegal international Gueye.

And this tactic really paid off in the first 70 minutes of the game, as Arsenal, who were very afraid of the impact of the visitors' two strikers, did not dare to allow the two wing-backs to frequently step forward to assist, which led to the team's attack not being able to pose a real threat to Everton's buses.

In the end, it was Balco's superb set-piece skills that finally resolved the crisis through a corner kick that was scored by Mustafi.

In the following time, the Toffees, who failed to defend their own goal, also tried to increase their investment in the offensive end, such as changing to the main center of the Turkish national team, Tosun, and changing the formation to 4-3-3. But this not only did not work, but gave the home team more opportunities to play counter-attacks, but unfortunately they were all wasted by Welbeck and others.

The 1-0 scoreline was maintained until the end, and the Gunners struggled to get the three points, thus equalling Manchester City's best record in the first 33 rounds of the Premier League set in 2017-18 with 87 points from 28 wins, three draws and two defeats, and the British media found a topic to write about.

However, Li Mudi has never shown anything to be proud of in the following press interviews, he believes that only by winning the Premier League championship will these honors be meaningful, otherwise it can only appear that his failure is more and more sad.

In the second week of April, the first leg of the quarter-finals between the two European competitions takes place, and a total of five Premier League teams will make their debut at this stage, making it the most surviving league yet, and the British media has been much to boast about.

The Gunners' performance can be highly evaluated, they defeated their opponent Solna AIK 2-1 away from home, and almost announced that they have advanced to the semi-finals in advance, which also allows Li Mudi to devote more energy to the preparation of the league in the future.

At the weekend, Arsenal face Manchester City in a big test before they travel to Watford, who are also fighting for a place in Europe. Although the Hornet's performance in this season's Europa League was really disappointing, leaving the Premier League with a lot of missing European points, just six games in the group stage earned them more than 20 million euros in bonuses and broadcast shares, which is still worth fighting for for a club that is not wealthy, after all, it means a transfer fee for an absolute main player.

So in the many pre-match analyses, everyone almost unanimously agreed that the league leaders are likely to face a blockage at Pastor Road, which will be even more difficult than facing Everton in midweek.

But it turned out to be another proof of the famous truth that football is round, and the pundits were slapped in the face.

In less than 10 minutes, the Gunners scored a powerful shot from near the penalty spot through Alexandre Lacazette to take the initiative of the game into their hands. Then the attacking orders from the home coach Javi Garcia allowed Mkhitaryan and Belasino to find opportunities to continue to open up the difference. After second-half substitute John Jules scored his maiden senior goal for Arsenal, the 4-0 scoreline was a good indication of how far apart the two sides were today.

In the end, this battle, which was widely expected to be the focus of a battle before the start of the game, ended with an easy four-goal victory for the visiting team, which disappointed many melon-eating people who hoped that Arsenal would end their winning streak and make the league title race more tense and exciting.

Fortunately, Manchester City's side was also competitive, and they also won the victory, not allowing the five-point gap between the two sides to continue to widen.

It's just that with only four rounds of the league remaining, the prospects for a blue moon are certainly a bit bad as the Premier League's dominance over the previous three seasons. They will have to beat Arsenal at home in the penultimate round and then hope that they will make at least one mistake in the rest of their games to have a chance of overtaking.

This kind of uncertain situation is obviously not what Guardiola wants to see, but the reality has forced him to start thinking about some off-the-market tricks, so in the next two weeks or so, the outside world has frequently heard the Manchester City manager in interviews to pressure the Gunners, so that the big game that may change the situation of the league title this season has entered the limelight in advance.
