Chapter 197: We're Lost

To be honest, Wenger actually has a lot of regret in his heart at this moment.

If his team can not lose so thoroughly in the first leg of the two teams, then in the second leg, their hopes of a comeback must be much higher, right?

If he had paid more attention to Villarreal from the "country" and made more detailed research and preparation, maybe they wouldn't have been so passive in the first round, right? If that's the case, then the end result, maybe everything will be different, right?

Also, if his personality is not so indecisive, he sees the crux of the team in this game and immediately adjusts, then this goal that will put his team into the abyss can be avoided? Is the slim hope of a turnaround preserved?

And also......

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through Wenger's mind, but in the end, they only turned into a wry smile on his face.

"We're going to lose."

Wenger sat in the coach's seat and sighed and shook his head, a slight voice came from behind him, turned his head, but saw his captain Cesc Fabregas looking at him faintly behind him, his eyes couldn't tell what kind of complicated emotions it was, but Wenger could see that the eyes of his former lover were full of strong disappointment.

"yes, we're going to lose."

Arsene Wenger acknowledged him and his team's failures in a somewhat dejected tone.

Cesc Fabregas didn't respond immediately, he just looked at Arsene Wenger and watched the "mentor" who brought him from Spain to England and developed him from an obscure young player to a world-class midfielder.

Arsene Wenger looked at him as well, and looked at him.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was eerily silent.

After a while, Cesc Fabregas finally spoke again, as if he had made up his mind and made a decision.

"I'm tired of failure."

"I want to go for the championship, I want to go to the bigger stage."

"Also, I want to beat ...... He! This time it was he who won, but I believe that next time, next time, next time, I won't lose again! ”

Wenger just looked at him, silent, without words.

Fabregas's words already show his attitude, or rather, it is telling the professor that the former beloved disciple has finally decided.

And this decision made the last glimmer of hope in Wenger's heart come to naught.

Arsene Wenger was still looking at him, but in the depths of his eyes, a trace of pain that was easily unnoticed flashed away.

He suddenly remembered that many years ago, he came to London from Japan in high spirits, came to Arsenal, he gave new life to this team, and also led this team to create new glory, Henry, Vieira, Bergkamp, Pires...... These men were under his command and fought with him in Europa.

But as time passed, the familiar disciples left one by one, and then, Arsenal began to go downhill, and he tapped a lot of potential young players, Cole, Robin, Fabregas...... But there hasn't been much improvement in the team's results, and Arsene Wenger knows it's a painful period for a team to rebuild, and he can wait, but the youngsters under his command are not willing to wait.

Some chose to stay, others chose to leave.

And now, the captain of the team, who has high hopes for him, is recognized by him as the hope of Arsenal's resurgence, Francisco. Cesc Fabregas, he's about to leave.

At this moment, Wenger's mood is undoubtedly heavy and painful, but he can't do anything, a player whose heart is no longer at Arsenal, forcing him to stay, is just adding trouble to both sides.

After another deep look at Cesc Fabregas, Wenger withdrew his gaze.

"I see."

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The fierce battle on the pitch continued.

Although they have taken a 4-1 lead on aggregate and promotion is almost a foregone conclusion, Villarreal still do not intend to give up, not only will they have to witness the glory moment of equaling the club record with a beautiful victory, but more importantly, they will help Van Bizhuang achieve his wish!

Arsenal's players also know that the general trend has gone, and they are weak to return to the sky, so after Wenger's instructions were given, they did not have any ideological baggage, and they were also very happy to set the premise of the formation, both left and right were lost, and they were eliminated, in this case, then it is good to have a good fight, at least, but also to play the dignity and pride that belong to Arsenal!

Arsenal are almost defence-free, clash head-on with Villarreal, attacking football with the art they do best, and fighting fiercely with their opponents.

Villarreal threatened with quick passes and advances, while Arsenal put pressure on their opponents with skilful foot play and fluid passing, and the two attacking teams put on a brilliant back-and-forth battle on the pitch.

Arsenal were undoubtedly fearsome in the space of ten minutes, with Van Persie coming close to scoring with a header from just inside the box hitting the post.

Of course, Villarreal are not bad, they are faster and their advance is not muddy, especially when all the players frequently put the ball at the feet of Van Bizhuang, the threat of the submarine is even more skyrocketing, Van Bizhuang's speed and breakthrough, as well as his impact, every time he rushes forward with the ball, it will bring a lot of challenges to the visiting team's defence.

The performance of the two teams in the offensive end can be described as half a pound, no matter how good it is, but on the defensive end, Villarreal is relatively much more stable, Senna's running and interception ability can be described as the best in today's football, with his back and forth sweeping in front of the back line, it is enough to provide the most favorable protection in front of the defenders.

And Arsenal, who sent three center forwards in this game, has congenital deficiencies, and the attacking group in the front court are all players with outstanding individual ability, coupled with Fan Bizhuang, a freak who can't keep up with the pace at all, Arsenal's defense is in the wind at any time.

Flat in attack and slightly inferior defensively, Villarreal still has a big advantage in the head-to-head battle.

However, it is slightly disappointing that although Fan Bizhuang is extremely active in the offensive end, and his teammates are selflessly making balls for him, his shots are always a little less meaningful, either saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, or the accuracy is not good, and a few times, as soon as he finished shooting, the opposing defenders desperately blocked the ball with their bodies - this is also something that can't be helped, Villarreal rally around Fan Bizhuang for various cooperation, Arsenal's defenders are not stupid, naturally see this, As the last point in the attack, Fan Bizhuang is like a beacon, and it is strange that the defenders do not follow him.

Time passed quickly as Van Bizhuang was in Alexandria. Song barely managed to finish a shot with interference, but the ball went wide of the post, and the final whistle of the first half finally sounded.

The score did not change, relying on Nihart's goal, Villarreal led Arsenal 1:0 and 4:1 on aggregate.

The home team players were still able to accept this result, firstly, they were ahead of their opponents, and secondly, after Arsenal attacked, they successfully limited their opponents and failed to allow them to score.

It's a bit of a pity that Fan Bizhuang couldn't get on the scoresheet, but that's just a minor blemish, after all, there are still 45 minutes left in the second half, and the big guys still have time to help Fan Bizhuang move towards the record.

Manuel Pellegrini was also pleased with the score he had achieved in the first half, and after a brief explanation in the dressing room, he didn't stay.

Fifteen minutes of halftime were spent in a state of excitement and excitement, and soon the two teams were back on the pitch, swapping venues and the game resumed.

Villarreal didn't make any changes to the lineup, while Arsenal didn't, and it seems that the visitors' plans are determined to make a fuss about attacking, at least scoring goals with aggressive attacks to save a bit of face.

What puzzled Van Bizhuang was that Arsenal's first captain Cesc Fabregas was still on the bench. There was no pre-game news of Cesc Fabregas injured, so it was surprising that the Gunners were on the bench from the start, and now that Arsene Wenger still has no intention of sending him on after half-time, it is enough to wonder if something is wrong with Arsenal.

Of course, this is someone else's housework, and Fan Bizhuang doesn't have the heart to worry about it.

The most important thing for him is to help the team win this game, reach the last four of the Champions League and, if possible, score himself.

The second half was almost a replica of the second half of the first half, with both teams actively seeking to attack, and the game was at a very fast pace since the whistle blew, with both teams attacking at a very fast pace, often with a shot on goal just on this side, and a quick counter-attack on the other side as a response, the pace was intense and dizzying.

"With the result almost impossible to change, both teams let go of their psychological baggage and put on an offensive battle for the fans!"

'Arsenal's attack is becoming more and more threatening and if the Gunners had behaved like that in the first leg, maybe the result would have been different...... It's a pity that there are no ifs! ”

"Arsenal's attack is here again! Walcoat quickly went down to the baseline and crossed...... Bam Adebayo pressed the defender to shake his head at the goal - what a pity, the football was held up by the goalkeeper with one hand! ”

Rosicky takes a corner and Godin clears it...... This is a great opportunity for Villarreal to fight back! Cazorla's long pass from the right flank accurately found Forlan in front, and the Uruguayan headed back to the top to keep up with the ...... Shot - alas, alas, the football turned out to be high over the crossbar. Ha, Fan's momentum today is good, but unfortunately the feeling of shooting seems to be a little worse! ”

In a love song stadium where roars, cheers, and screams mingle, time passes quickly.

In the 63rd minute, the second goal of the game finally arrived!
