Some time ago, Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho bombarded the FA for scheduling the schedule indiscriminately, not caring about the life or death of European teams, and in this regard, the Gunners coach Arsène Wenger, who has always been unhappy with the Portuguese, also secretly extended his thumbs up.

In April, United were scheduled to play eight league games and two Europa League quarter-finals.

With United having already lost two previous league games, there will be a make-up match in the final stages of April, which would give the Reds nine games to play in April.

Arsenal are even worse than Manchester United, with five league games, two Champions League quarter-finals, one FA Cup semi-final and one league make-up in April.

With Arsenal going further in the FA Cup, they have dropped one more league game than Manchester United, and if the Gunners go further in the Champions League and FA Cup, it is estimated that they will have to play double games every week for the rest of the season, which will undoubtedly be a huge test for the thin squad of the Gunners.

The two Premier League giants can't be blamed entirely on the FA for their difficult schedules, who has allowed them to participate in enough competitions.

Some time ago, Manchester United were the only team in the Premier League to play on all four fronts, and Arsenal were slightly better off due to their early exit from the Carabao Cup.

Manchester United have won their first Champions League Cup of the season and are playing on three fronts like Arsenal.

Since you want to win more championships, you have to pay more.

As long as you are a Premier League fan, you know one sentence: Arsenal in April cannot be provoked.

Since the start of the 2005-06 season, Arsenal's pace of "fighting for the fourth" has never stopped, and in the 11 seasons since then, Arsenal has won the third place in the Premier League four times, the runner-up team once, and the fourth place in the remaining six times without exception.

This is also the origin of the endless jokes about Arsenal and the "four".

Last season, Arsenal finished runners-up after 10 years, temporarily throwing off the hat of "fighting for the four".

This season, Arsenal have rarely dropped the chain in February and March as usual, winning four consecutive league games, biting Chelsea at the top of the table and the arch-rivals next door.

The Champions League quarter-final victory over nemesis Bayern Munich, throwing off the hat of the Champions League sixteen to advance to the quarterfinals, and the FA Cup habitually reaching the semi-finals, for a while, Premier League fans exclaimed "This is a fake Arsenal".

How many years has it been since we saw Arsenal playing on the third front in April?

Why are there fake Arsenal this season?

Fans and expert reporters are puzzled, after all, facing Chelsea, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich in the Champions League, Arsenal has no absolute strength to win, even if it is a draw, it will be very difficult.

But it didn't take long for them to spot an important turning point in the Gunners' season that turned the Gunners' fortunes around...... Uh, it's more about ignoring than ignoring.

Because at the last moment before the transfer window closed, Arsenal's signing of 19-year-old goalkeeper Zhang Zhetian was considered by the public to be just another lottery ticket for the "pedophile" professor, and the little-known Chinese teenager such as the Frenchman who entered the arsenal at the beginning of the year, oh no, it may be even worse, because no one will make a voice in the newspaper "who is Zhang Zhetian".

Taking advantage of the two-week gap between the international break, many people have looked back and re-examined Arsenal this season, and basically formed a consensus: because of the addition of Zhang Zhetian, there is a fake Arsenal this season.

Arsene Wenger has never dropped out of the top four since Arsene Wenger took charge of Arsenal in 1996 and is arguably the most consistent team in Premier League history.

Last season's runners-up was Arsenal's closest to a Premier League title in a decade, and this season, the Gunners, who can still retain their title hopes until April, together with their two rivals Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Reds Liverpool, constitute one of the most frustrating titles and fourths in Premier League history.

Looking at the league standings as of the 29th round of the Premier League, the difference between sixth-placed Manchester United and top-ranked Chelsea is 14 points, even if Manchester United has one less game than Chelsea, it will be difficult to narrow the gap to single digits, but it is only five points away from fourth-place rivals Manchester City with one more game.

Among the top six, probably only Liverpool with the most games is not much hope of winning the championship, and the hope of fighting for the fourth is the smallest, and the Reds, who have played 1-2 games more than the top four, are a full 4 points away from the fourth, and Liverpool's most realistic goal is probably to retain the European seat.

Looking at the top four, fourth-placed Manchester City and third-placed Tottenham have the same number of games as Chelsea, but with a 7-9 point difference, and if the Blues don't make a mistake, they will have to fight for the top three, after all, the fourth place in the league is to participate in the Champions League play-offs.

The only thing that can cause Chelsea to cause problems in the title race is Arsenal, who are seven points down with a game in hand, and with 10 games to go, anything is possible, and the Gunners need to do well to win most of the remaining games.

It's just that compared with Chelsea, which only has one front in the league, Arsenal, which is fighting on the third line, catches up, and it is extremely difficult.

In April, they will not only face top four rivals Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, but also Crystal Palace, Middlesbrough and Leicester City, who are battling relegation.

As we all know, in the final stages of encountering a Premier League relegation team, the game is not much more difficult than playing against a title rival, and it is much more difficult to play than a mid-table team that has no desire.

Real Madrid in the Champions League and Manchester City in the FA Cup both need the Gunners to give it their all.

This is a month to test whether Arsenal is fake, whether it is the collapse of the third line and the return to the battle for the fourth, or the third line to win the treble, the result of the first game against Manchester City in April will determine all this.

After the Champions League exit on a blue moon, Josep Guardiola is aiming for a race for top four and the FA Cup.

Like Arsenal, Manchester City cannot afford to lose their opening game in April.

Who will get April off to a good start?

Since the last interview with Liu Chuan, Zhang Zhetian has declined interviews with other media through his agent Darko Makwitz, including returning to China, and Zhang Zhetian has not accepted interviews with domestic and foreign media.

Like team-mate Alex Sanchez, football is the biggest joy of the game. So I'd rather be buried in training at the training base, brag and fart with my teammates, have dinner and socialize, than face reporters.

Even the interview on Arsenal's official website was postponed to the end of the season by Zhang Zhetian, on the grounds that he wanted to concentrate on the game.

The next day, when he came to the training ground, before he started to warm up, the former Gunners thigh, Chilean striker Sanchez ran to Zhang Zhetian, made an expression of envy, jealousy and hatred and said: "Zhang, I am very jealous of you!" ”
