Chapter 509: Undefeated in the League! (Add more for the leader of the Indifferent Futu Alliance)
The media and commentators are still talking about the game.
Van Persie was the natural focus of attention when he scored the goal, with the Sky Sports commentator saying: "We can already see that Wenger is increasing Van Persie's playing time and will probably be Arsenal's starting striker next season. ”
The last sentence of the "Sky Sports" commentator made Arsenal fans look forward to it, Van Persie is still very good, and can be regarded as the leader of Arsenal's new generation.
Many fans can't help but think about the team's forward situation.
Arsenal's No.1 striker has always been Henry, who is known as the 'Emperor'.
Henry's situation is not promising.
First of all, Thierry Henry has suffered a series of injuries, scoring 10 goals in just 17 appearances for the team this season.
Thierry Henry's goalscoring efficiency during the injury was not bad, but the impact of the injury was also very large, and Henry did not help the team play in the Champions League after the group stage.
In addition, there have been rumors that Henry will leave.
This is not new news.
In the previous two seasons, whenever it came to the summer transfer, Henry's name would be associated with Barcelona, for various reasons, Henry still did not leave, but many fans know that Arsenal can no longer keep Henry.
This is because of the Boseman Act.
The 'Boseman Act' is well-known and has had a profound impact on the transfer system in professional football.
Jean-Marc Boseman was a regular member of the Belgian football second division team Liège, and when his contract expired in 1990, Boseman planned to move to Dunkirk in France, but Dunkirk could not provide the transfer fee required by Liège, so Liège did not let him go.
At the same time, since Boseman is no longer a first-team player, his income has been greatly reduced.
After a long and arduous litigation before the European Court of Justice in the Principality of Luxembourg, Boseman finally won the case, and on December 15, 1995, the court ruled that Boseman and all players in the European Union could transfer freely within the EU member states after the expiration of their contracts.
This is known as the Boseman Act.
The Boseman Act is not just a 'free transfer', it also contains many provisions, the most important of which is that the maximum contract between the club and the player is five years, and the player under the age of 28 is protected for three years from the date of signing the contract, and can accept offers from other clubs at any time for the next two years, and once he agrees to join the new team, the new team will pay a salary equivalent to the rest of his contract as compensation.
The corresponding period of protection for players over the age of 28 is two years, and the last six months of all contracts are at the end of the contract, and any club can give the player a satisfactory contract, then the player will be able to transfer to a new club on a free transfer after the end of the last six months of the contract without the new club paying any fees to the original club.
According to the provisions of the 'Bosman Act', Henry is bent on leaving Arsenal, and the new team only needs to pay the salary of the remaining two years of the contract, which is about 10 million euros.
How can a player like Thierry Henry keep 10 million euros?
Henry doesn't want to tear up his face with Arsenal, he still has feelings for Arsenal, but after a few seasons of transfer trouble, everyone knows that Henry definitely wants to leave, he wants to adapt to a new environment, not stay at Arsenal all the time.
At the end of the season, it may be time for Henry to leave.
Whenever Henry is thought of leaving, Arsenal fans are a little unacceptable, but they have no choice but to hope that there will be a turning point to see if Henry can continue to stay at Arsenal.
————
The game has restarted.
Van Persie helped Arsenal win a goal, but it does not mean that Arsenal is firmly in the Diaoyutai, the score is still a draw, Arsenal wants to rely on a draw, wait to get fourth in the league, or look at the situation of another game, just like Wenger thought, they must take the initiative to seize the opportunity, so that there will be no surprises.
The way to take the initiative is simple - win the game.
After the resumption of the game, Arsenal also continued to attack, in order to qualify for the Champions League next season, every player on the field also worked very hard, their running and fighting were active, and the attack was also very aggressive, which also made the game very exciting.
The visiting Arsenal fans kept cheering on and cheering.
But that's the case with professional football, hard work doesn't necessarily lead to success, because the opponent is not an NPC, and it will work very hard, and only one team can win, or the two teams will draw, and there will be no final winner.
Millwall also worked very hard.
Millwall as a whole are not just working hard, they also know what to do at this stage of the game.
Step up your defense!
Millwall's aim was not to win.
Most players know that it doesn't make much sense to win or lose.
In fact, there is still a little bit of meaning in the game, for example, a draw against Arsenal, Millwall can get a 'unbeaten league title', for this small title, they also have to work hard to defend well, unbeaten is fine, there is little point in risking winning.
In such a state of mind, Millwall's players are all focused on defense, and only a few players such as Braniff, Weston and Quaresma occasionally focus on counter-attacking.
Millwall's counteroffensive was not entirely threatened.
Braniff's skills and the speed of Weston and Quaresma are still a headache for Arsenal, and they have to pay attention to the fact that they don't have to look at another game when they lose to Millwall, and they basically have no chances.
Arsenal worked hard, hard and hard, they seemed to have a lot of hope and they were just a little bit of luck away from scoring.
This bit of luck never came.
The final game proved that football is not won by hard work, and until the last minute, Arsenal failed to find the Millwall goal.
Millwall faced such a long period of attacking and the players on the pitch were tired, but they eventually achieved their goal - to hold the goal.
The result was 1-1.
Millwall drew with Arsenal at home and won the Premier League trophy with an 'unbeaten' attitude.
After the game, the "Sky Sports" commentator also congratulated Millwall on their undefeated, "Congratulations! Millwall, an amazing team, they didn't just win the title, they did it unbeaten in the league! ”
"It's not easy!"
'Millwall won the title in the 36th round and the last two rounds didn't mean much to them, with the pressure of the Champions League final, they couldn't put their energy into the league, but in the end they did it!'
"Unbeaten in the league, rare, dazzling!"
"Millwall are unbeaten and deservedly win the league title!"
"Maybe more people will pay attention to the final standings of the league, now another game, Liverpool and Charlton have not yet decided the winner, and now the game is in the 89th minute, Liverpool temporarily leads Charlton 2-1......"
The words of the "Sky Sports" commentator made the mood of Arsenal fans fall to the bottom.
If Liverpool beat Charlton Athletic, it means that they will overtake Arsenal in points and become fourth in the Premier League, and next season, Arsenal will not be able to participate in the Champions League.
The players on the scene were also very worried.
After the game, the Millwall players walked off the pitch with ease, while the Arsenal players piled up in the dugout, listening to the Liverpool and Charlton game commentary on the radio.
It's an interesting scene.
The Arsenal players were all solemn and depressed, with so little game time left to see Charlton as they could afford to equalise and continue to listen to the radio for a miracle.
Of course, they can't influence the game.
At this moment, I don't know how many Arsenal people are cheering for Charlton, praying that they can score a goal in the last minute to equalize the score.
Perhaps their prayers had an effect.
In the second minute of stoppage time, Charlton striker Hasselbaink jumped up in the middle of the box to head the ball and help Charlton equalize.
At that moment, the Anfield stadium was quiet.
It's really quiet!
Even the Charlton fans didn't celebrate, and there were very few Charlton fans who came with the team, because they had already booked tickets for relegation, and what if they were relegated to a draw in advance?
In the end, it was still a downgrade!
Charlton didn't care up and down, and even Hasselbaink, who scored the goal, wasn't excited.
As a star who has already made a name for himself, Hasselbaink doesn't care about a goal, and he doesn't know that many Arsenal fans are chanting his name.
"Hasselbaink! Hero! ”
"Well done! Ha ha! Hasselbaink! ”
"Charlton is tied!"
"Is this true?! Oh, God! ”
Neil Field.
Countless shouts of celebration rang out, and every Arsenal fan was shouting wildly, as if they had won the title, in fact, it was almost the same, even more fortunate than the champion, they survived to keep the fourth place in the league and secure a place in the Champions League next season.
The Arsenal players piled up on the bench also cheered loudly with excitement.
Wenger finally smiled, he then remembered that he should shake hands with Zhang Yang, he thought that Zhang Yang left early, after all, a few minutes was still a bit long, but he didn't expect Zhang Yang to still wait there.
"Congratulations!"
Zhang Yang smiled and took the initiative to shake hands with Wenger, he didn't listen to the Liverpool game, but looking at the appearance of the whole Arsenal team, he almost knew the result, so he put the lines prepared in his heart, "It's a bit of a pity", far behind.
"Thank you!"
Arsene Wenger said relaxedly, and then something felt wrong.
Arsenal are fourth, should they be congratulated?
Perhaps.
But it shouldn't be the Millwall coach in front of you who says congratulations, because Millwall are first in the league and are unbeaten in winning the title.
"I should congratulate you!" Wenger said with a wry smile, then put away his complicated thoughts and said to Zhang Yang, "Our season is over, and you still have important games." I wish you all the best in advance. Champions League winners, it's wonderful! ”
"You've tasted it, and it's my turn!"
"Haha!"
With the final round of the Premier League coming to an end, the smoke of the Champions League final is already burning.
