The result of the trade-off was announced at noon on Saturday, and Li Mudi unreservedly showed the full strength of the team in the squad announced in advance, ensuring that all three points were guaranteed. Those who know him well can basically interpret the meaning, that is, Arsenal have given up the FA Cup competition and completely shifted their focus to the Premier League and Champions League.

In this regard, there is actually a lot of controversy in the Arsenal team, some coaches believe that although the three-tier battle is indeed very intensive, but the season has come to the final stage, and they are all facing the semi-finals This is only one step away from the championship, so that the players grit their teeth and persevere, it is still very likely to get a happy result.

However, this proposal was vetoed by their boss, although after two seasons of adjustment, the Gunners' squad thickness can be called world-class, but there is still a certain gap from the best in Li Mudi's heart. In addition, Lacazette and Koscielny, the former and second two big players, have just recovered from injury and their form is not guaranteed, so they cannot play the role of the planned rotation. It is not impossible to let the current group of players stick to the third-line battle without a chance to achieve the most perfect ending, but the risk is also very high.

As the old saying goes: a thousand birds are better than a bird in the forest, and the current Arsenal will definitely not be able to withstand the blow of not being able to participate in the Champions League, because they have invested very much in the previous two seasons, and once they lack this large profit, it is likely that they will have to shrink their spending and even be forced to sell their stars this summer, and the financial fair play policy is no joke.

So without much consideration, Li Mudi made the above decision directly after communicating with the club's head director, Josh Kroenke, although he himself was very polite, but he did not hesitate at all.

It was for this reason that the Gunners were able to play with their momentum against West Ham's excellent defence at the weekend, scoring a goal in each half to win 2-0 and end a seven-game winning streak in the Premier League in March, continuing to cling to Manchester United in front of them and retaining their hopes of promotion to the top four.

There was also a notable event in this game, as the veteran French man Koscielny, who had suffered two muscle injuries this season, finally returned on the same day when he replaced Diego Llorente in the 81st minute, and appeared on the field again in an Arsenal shirt after a five-and-a-half-month absence.

Although the 36-and-a-half-year-old Koscielny has shown excellent positional sense and ability to command the defense after ten minutes, the running ability that used to compete with speed strikers is gone. The visitors had a quick counter-attack in the final moments, and local striker Che Adams, who came through the Coventry Academy and joined the Hammers after making a name for himself at Birmingham, used six or seven steps to sprint about three meters behind him to complete the comeback to overtake the French centre-back.

The veteran, who has been the Gunners' most consistent backline since the 2010/11 season, has been able to maintain a decent level of form last year, with Lee's current ability and potential levels detected by scouting tools at the end of the season at 149 and 165 respectively, which is quite good based on his date of birth in September 1985.

However, the two injuries suffered in mid-August and late September last year still became the killer to defeat this old man, even if he does not need to be accurately explored, Li Mudi can roughly infer that his current ability is only about 140, and the decline is very obvious. At this rate, Koscielny will hardly be able to secure a rotation spot in the team next season, which is a frustrating and even unacceptable reality for the current Gunners first captain and the pinnacle in the minds of fans.

As a veteran of more than 20 years in the football industry, no one knows his physical condition better than him, so in order to test whether he can regain the form he was at the beginning of the season, Koscielny chose to return at this time despite the dissuasion of his agent and the team's coaching staff, hoping to get the answer as soon as possible.

In a private exchange after the game, Li Mudi also learned another layer of thoughts about his captain's rush to play, the latter has been prepared during the long period of recuperation, once he can no longer help the team, he will choose to retire at the end of the season, and then join the coaching staff or enter the youth echelon to continue to shine for the club. Then he has to end his career as a player on the field, instead of waving goodbye to everyone in a suit.

Upon learning of Koscielny's thoughts, Li Mudi immediately decided to give him the highest respect, and he solemnly wrote his name in the starting line-up for the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United. This situation was not originally planned by the coaching staff, as the veteran has just recovered from a long injury and should have used to the feeling of the game through a few gradually increasing substitute appearances, and should not be too anxious to let him play high-intensity confrontation.

Even if the possible FA Cup and Champions League final are counted, Arsenal have only eight games left at most this season, three league games, two domestic cup games and three Champions League games. It can be said that apart from this game against the Red Devils, every game is crucial, and Li Mudi has not yet had the guts to let the in-form Koscielny play for too long in those matchups where the club's historical honours and financial gains are at stake.

So in order to satisfy the other party's wishes, at least let him start in the battle of the gun demons with a special meaning, which can be regarded as the grandest stage that the head coach of the team can try his best to build for his captain.

Not only that, Li Mudi also put Bosnia-Herzegovina veteran goalkeeper Begovic and Benatia, who fell out of rotation after Maguire joined, into the starting lineup, and let these veterans who are already at the end of their careers feel the final fierce competition and glory on the green field.

However, in the eyes of the outside world, especially gun fans, this list is too serious enough, British football attaches great importance to the FA Cup, especially in the semi-finals stage, who is not waiting for each team to win this honor, but this Celestial Empire man is so disrespectful of tradition, and dares to openly paddle on such an important occasion, it is really unbearable but unbearable, and must be severely criticized and resisted.

In the semi-final on March 30, the Arsenal supporters who went to watch the game were not absent, but they were still very quiet compared to the enthusiastic support of the opposing fans, as a way to express their dissatisfaction with the team's manager not doing his best.

On the other hand, Scholes has been in charge for more than a year and has shown his potential to become a first-class manager, but due to the club's declining attractiveness in terms of signings and the lack of a current squad, there is still a big gap between the expectations given to him to lead the team back to the top.

Due to the stability of the three Premier League giants Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, as well as Arsenal's strong rebound last season, Manchester United can only compete with Chelsea for fifth and sixth place in the league, which is not much better than it was under Jose Mourinho, which has caused some fans to become restless again. If it weren't for the series of great achievements left at Old Trafford as a player in the past, I believe that the sound of class would have sounded in Ginger's ears.

Although the Gunners' early injury wave has touched the Champions League ticket this season, under the fierce pursuit of old rivals in the second half, the Red Devils are already on the verge of collapse due to the pressure they are under. And in terms of schedule, their remaining three games are also far more difficult than their opponents, and the prospect of fighting for the fourth place is not very optimistic.

The cup has become an important venue for clubs looking to raise the profile and prove their mettle, and they have already reached the semi-finals of the Europa League, with a draw against Monaco, who are relatively weak in the semi-finals, and there is a good chance of reaching the final. In the FA Cup, although they will face their arch-rivals Arsenal, the latter's attitude is nonchalant, which is also good news.

But even so, Scholes still sent all his main force in this game, and even if the double red battle with Liverpool is about to come soon, there is not a trace of carelessness. Because he knows the strength of this opponent very well, if he can't hold the attitude of a lion fighting a rabbit, then he may encounter an accident, and that Celestial Empire man has such magic.

After kick-off, a group of Gunners rotation and even 10,000 years of substitutes played something in the first ten minutes of the game, and they did not swing the iron bucket because of the aggressiveness of the opponent, but took advantage of the possession through aggressive movement and high-quality passing ability, which is one of the strategies developed by the team's head coach to avoid too much pressure at the back.

However, the quality of the players on both sides quickly took the initiative away from United, and Pogba, who has been in a state of confusion for most of the time, has been feeling good in recent weeks, scoring four goals and providing three assists in eight games, as if he were the best in the world. But Li Mudi found through the FM system that the Red Devils had planned to sell it this summer, the 29-year-old age group is still at its peak, and it can be sold at a high price when the transfer market is still hot, otherwise I don't know what I can get back if I delay it for another two years, and the 100 million yuan of the year can't be wasted like this.

To tell the truth, the Frenchman's ability is still worth Arsenal's attention, and his extremely comprehensive skills plus several technical and physical abilities of 17 and 18 are indeed worthy of the transfer price that set a world record in the first place. Unfortunately, for various reasons, he was unable to find the most suitable way to play at Old Trafford, and unfortunately missed out on being promoted to a generation of superstars.

However, Li Muddy has no idea about bringing in Pogba, except that the club simply can't come up with the funds that can impress Manchester United, you can't expect the opposing management to be stupid enough to give this powerful midfielder to his biggest rival, even if he has not played a consistent performance in the past few years, but what if he is resurrected after a change of environment!

Therefore, the Gunners coach will not have a trace of thoughts about this Frenchman, just watching the opponent's heroic play on the field, he will inevitably feel some headaches, without the level of Ndidi to restrict, the Gunners are currently on the field players really do not have a very good way to take Pogba.

Although the defender Ben Sheff is 24 years old, he has not been able to establish himself in the first team during his two years in charge of Unai Emery, and his years of loan spells in the lower leagues have not allowed him to grow up to the team's expectations, but the arrival of Li Muddy has given the academy one last chance, and he has also given the manager a trusted response with his hard work. But for now, Shef's ability is still a bit far from Pogba's level, and it can't be made up for by selfless effort alone.

Along with Koscielny and Benatia, the 71-year-old centre-back duo, they faced Romelu Lukaku, who was at the peak of his physical fitness, like a middleweight in the ring against a super-heavyweight guy.

But United's other attacking players weren't vegetarians either, taking advantage of the gaps created by the little monsters to storm Arsenal's penalty area, and soon in the 14th minute Marcus Rashford scored a goalmouth goal, and it was the Belgian centre-forward who provided the assist for a header.

After taking the lead, Scholes did not order the recovery as the commentator did in the live signal, but asked the players to continue to launch onslaught and try to end the suspense as soon as possible. This is not only because of the superhuman tenacity of the Gunners, who still don't know what will happen if the opponent controls the tempo, but also for the weekend league game. Whenever he has an early advantage of more than two goals, he will bring on a few of his most crucial cores, allowing them to have more fitness for the Reds four days later.

So in the next 20 minutes, Arsenal's penalty area and outside the situation showed a stormy situation, all kinds of embarrassing defensive states appeared in front of everyone's eyes, which made the gun fans on the scene very dissatisfied, and even began to boo their own players and managers.

However, this situation gradually reversed 180 degrees after the score never changed again, seeing Koscielny being knocked to the ground by Lukaku after the first header was cleared, Benatia gritted his teeth and fighting with Rashford with a fierce face, Albrighton repeatedly retreated to the defensive line to help his teammates scramble and strode forward after winning the ball, how can anyone who still has feelings for this team in their hearts not be moved by the players who fought bravely on the field!

So the boos quickly shifted to the unforgiving Manchester United players, leaving the Gunners with half-time cheers and applause that did not stop until the end of the game.

Although the final result could not be changed, Arsenal lost to their arch-rivals by a narrow goal, and unfortunately stopped at the penultimate level of the FA Cup, but from the faces and tears in the eyes of the Gunners fans when they left the field, everyone clearly felt their deep friendship for the team. With such a great and lovely group of supporters, there seems to be no reason why Li Mudi and his team should not try their best to fight for a place.
