294 Gunners vs Fox City
According to The Sun, Arsène Wenger has been asked about contract renewal 14 times before, and Wenger has responded with "no comment" no less than 14 times. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He said he would choose an opportune time to make the announcement, saying that staying had nothing to do with leaving and the FA Cup.
However, it is undeniable that Arsene Wenger must have played a very important role if he does win the league and FA Cup and extend his contract at Arsenal.
We can't jump to conclusions because the team that waited at the other end of Wembley early was also from London, and they were called Chelsea.
Antonio Conte's side have been in the Premier League with a devastating momentum, but since the two-legged defeat in the league and the Gunners, the league title is in jeopardy, and the Blues are also very serious about the FA Cup, they don't want to be like Manchester City, like Liverpool, this season is empty-handed, so they will be in the best shape at that time, with the full main line-up, to fight for it.
But the gunmen from North London also didn't feel too much worry because of history, because they had the patron saint, the old man brought the Great Wall of China. Therefore, Gunners fans are very confident and believe that the team can beat their city opponents three times this season.
Originally, Arsenal habitually dropped the chain at the end of the season, and then would compete for the FA Cup, which was ridiculed as a "thermos cup", which was a kind of banter and a little more reasonable.
In the history of English football, Arsenal have reached 20 FA Cup finals, ranking first among English clubs, and 12 times have won the title to Manchester United, while Arsene Wenger's experience of winning six of the seven FA Cup finals has made him a joint first place in this ancient competition.
May is approaching, and the dust will settle. Victory and defeat, departure and staying, future and past, all have to be cut sharply after that final.
If he chooses to leave at the end of the story, then all these more than 1,100 games, all the days and nights of the past 21 years, all the wonderful football he has created, all the fearless records he has left behind, all the pitches and turf he built with his own hands, all the drunken nights that he has accompanied Arsenal and Arsenal fans will also leave.
In my football memory, I've never seen Arsenal without Arsene Wenger, and of course I don't want to imagine it, it's too cruel to imagine.
In many people's perception, Arsène is Arsenal, Wenger is the greatest godfather of this cannon, and in many people's choices, there is no one more suitable for the light and dusk of this Emirates Stadium than this old man.
Many people want to hear the answer, but in fact, "go or stay", "to be or not to be" is no longer a question for Wenger, but a given result.
The results will be announced at an opportune time, but we still hope that when that day comes, it will not be over, and that the city of London will not be irretrievably vulgar by the time that day comes.
At 19:40 on the evening of April 26, 2017, the almost full Emirates Stadium was shocking, after all, today is not the weekend, and the opponent is not the traditional Premier League team, and the stadium can be almost full of 60,000 people at night, which shows the "terrible" atmosphere of English football.
What's more, when the players from both sides came out of the player tunnel, and the stadium commentator read the name of Zhang Zhetian in the starting list, the audience erupted in a tacit understanding of "Our Patron Saint, Zhe Tian Zhang", and then sang in unison the "Song of Zhang Zhetian" that I don't know who did.
Héctor Bellerin said enviously and jealously to the palm behind him: "You have only been here for a long time, and there are fans who have written songs specifically for you, and they are still singing here, why don't I have them." ”
Zhang Zhetian touched his chin proudly, and said arrogantly: "Because I am a genius!" ”
Bellerin's mouth twitched, well, are you a genius, or an extraordinary genius!
Arsenal's starting line-up was as follows:
Goalkeeper: Palm Zhetian
Defenders: No. 5 Gabriel Paulista, No. 16 Rob Holding
Wing-backs: No.24 Héctor Bellerin, No.3 Kieran Gibbs
Defenders: 34 Francis Coquelin, No. 35 Mohamed Elneny
Midfielder: No. 29 Granit Xhaka
Forwards: Theo Walcott (c) 14, Alexander Iwobi 17
Striker: No.23 Danny Welbeck
Subs: 33 Petr Cech, 6 Laurent Koscielny, 18 Nacho Monreal, 15 Alex Chamberlain, 8 Aaron Ramsey, 11 Mesut Ozil, 12 Oliver Giroud
Except for Zhang Zhetian, Paulista, Xhaka and Walcott, the rest of the positions have been rotated, and this time the formation is a double back midfielder, so the formation is 34121.
Last season's reigning champions Leicester City started as follows:
Goalkeeper: No.1 Caspe Schmeichel (c)
Defenders: No. 17 Danny Simpson, No. 6 Robert Hut, No. 29 John Benaluan, No. 28 Christian Fuchs
Midfielders: No. 26 Riyad Mahrez, No. 4 Danny Drinkwater, No. 25 Onyye Ndidi, No. 11 Mark Albrighton
Forwards: No. 23 Leonardo Ulloa, No. 9 Jamie Vardy
Subs: 21 Robert Ziler, 3 Ben Chiwell, 13 Daniel Amat, 10 Andy King, 22 Demalai Gray, 7 Ahmed Moussa, 20 Shinji Okazaki
Leicester City lined up in a typical 442 formation, and after exiting the Champions League, the Foxes were able to rest for a week due to the postponement of last weekend's 34th round opponent Tottenham Hotspur to play the FA Cup.
Despite this, Arsene Wenger insisted on rotation and he believes the players will not let themselves down, and the desire for the league title is enough to show their superior fighting power.
After the opening, Arsenal pressed Leicester City with the ball in their hands on a high position, and the intention to start the game was obvious.
However, Leicester City was originally known for defensive counterattacks, so except for Vardy and Ulloa who stayed in the front, the rest of the people were concentrated in their own half, and they passed long forwards when they got the ball, and they didn't care whether they controlled the ball, even if the opponent controlled the ball, they only needed to defend strictly in the backfield.
Due to the low defense, Arsenal could not counterattack, and could only play positional battles.
It is worth mentioning that the Gunners won a free kick in the front court, and Zhang Zhetian did not step forward to take the penalty, and the world saw that he could not score a free kick in front of him, and regarded him as a free kick master, in fact, they also looked too high on the hit rate of the so-called free kick master.
