Now that the quarterfinals are out, the next step is naturally the draw for the matchup.

The draw turned out to be very interesting, Chelsea did not meet Barcelona, nor Bayern Munich, but Roma from Serie A, I don't know if Platini was worried that his favorite team would be eliminated, anyway, he didn't dare to let his favorite two teams meet Chelsea, but instead arranged the hot Roma as Chelsea's opponent.

How is Rome now?

Then let's start with the league, last season's Roma, the season can be described as terrifying, just like Chelsea in the Premier League, seeing who killed whom, and finally won the proudest league championship.

At the beginning of this season, in the entire first half of the season, there was no team that could pose a threat to Roma, whether it was AC Milan or Inter Milan, or Napoli, which was gradually rising.

It was an absolute misfortune for Chelsea to meet Roma.

Of course, it was also Roma's misfortune to meet Chelsea.

The two best teams in the league have to fight to the death in the Champions League, which has to be said to be a very lamentable tragedy.

Barcelona's opponent is Benfica of the Portuguese Super League, which should be no problem, although Benfica is also a giant in the Portuguese Super League, but it is not enough to see Barcelona when it meets Barcelona.

Bayern Munich's opponent is the Premier League powerhouse Arsenal, for the current Bayern, Arsenal is also not very good, although Arsenal bought Benzema and Khedira this season, but the overall strength still tends to be weak, coupled with the lack of bench thickness, their state is definitely not as good as Bayern Munich.

The rich aristocratic Real Madrid met the equally rich tycoon Paris Saint-Germain, and the duel between Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic. It's kind of interesting, although Ibu is now in his thirties. But this guy is really in good shape, more consistent than a lot of strikers. Of course, Ronaldo is the same, what kind of game the two veterans can play in this era of frequent demons is also very interesting.

The quarter-finals of the Champions League, the quarter-finals, will set to kick off in April, and for Chelsea, it will be a good time to take care of the domestic game and rehearse the tactics and tactics against Roma.

Prior to the Champions League quarter-finals, Chelsea had two league games. An FA Cup game, and the FA Cup game is still a quarter-final, you have to pay attention to it, although the FA Cup and the league or the Champions League can't be compared, but after all, it is also a championship, for Chelsea, who are in hot form at the moment, as long as it is a champion, it is to try to win it.

In addition, if the league can successfully open up the points gap with Arsenal and other teams, it will also be very helpful for Chelsea to play in the Champions League.

The thirtieth round of the Premier League. Chelsea beat Cardiff City 4-1 at home, with Lin Yu scoring twice to extend his tally to 35 goals for the season. With eight rounds of league games remaining, he only needs to score five more goals to achieve the dream of forty goals that didn't materialize last season.

Of course. Arsenal also kept winning in this round and were not left behind by Chelsea. I have to say that Arsenal are dealing with middle and lower teams. There is really a unique method, anyway, it is easier to play, and it is really not easy to let them lose points against such a team.

The FA Cup quarter-finals are next up, with both teams yet to be eliminated, but they have opted to field substitutes in preparation for the next round of the league.

You must know that Chelsea's opponent in the next round of the league is Manchester City, while Arsenal's opponent is Tottenham, and the opponents of both teams are not weak teams, and they must give up in terms of choice.

When it comes to the substitute lineup, Chelsea is much better than Arsenal, and the difference between Chelsea's substitute squad and the main squad is actually not too big, so after the FA Cup quarter-finals, Chelsea easily advanced to the semi-finals, while Arsenal fell on the way to this game.

However, some media commented that "although the FA Cup was eliminated, this is not necessarily a bad thing, for Arsenal, they can focus more on the league and the Champions League, the Champions League opponent is Bayern Munich, this is an opponent that must be taken seriously, and must not be taken lightly." ”

Bad things can become good things, it depends on the media's mouth, in fact, if you are eliminated, you will be eliminated, there is nothing good at all, no team wants to be eliminated by a certain event, Arsenal is the same, it's a pity that Arsenal's bench thickness is too poor, for the league and the Champions League, they can only break their wrists.

The FA Cup quarter-finals are followed by the 31st round of the league, with Chelsea hosting Manchester City and Arsenal hosting Tottenham.

Perhaps to take care of the Champions League, the FA was clever enough to schedule the Chelsea and Arsenal match to start at the earliest possible time, and both teams kicked off at about the same time.

……

The game was just ten minutes long.

"Oh? Did Benzema score? Mourinho couldn't help but smile when he heard his assistant coach's report.

"That's right, just five minutes into the game, Karim Benzema broke the silence with a near-zero shot from the edge of the box."

"Let's go in, it's not a big problem, even if they win this game, there is still a lot of gap between them and us." Jose Mourinho is not in a hurry at all, he may be more concerned about his team's performance in this game.

"That's true, but Arsenal doesn't have to play in the FA Cup, and the Champions League against Bayern will most likely be eliminated, this league title, I'm afraid they will fight to the end."

"It's okay, can't we just win the game?" Jose Mourinho smiled again, and although the current situation on the pitch is that Chelsea are a little passive, he believes in his team.

In Mourinho's tactical thinking, defense is the most important thing, because if you defend well, you can make yourself invincible first, and then deal with the opponent.

His ability to be so confident certainly has something to do with Chelsea's leaky defence so far.

"You're so confident, I'm a little scared right now."

"Don't be so nervous. Tottenham is also one of the giants of the Premier League, how could they be willing to lose to Arsenal so easily? There's still a long way to go. ”

It turns out. Jose Mourinho's judgment was completely fine, just five minutes later. Things changed dramatically, with Tottenham equalising away and Chelsea scoring a beautiful goal from a fine counter-attack through Schurrle's pass to Lin Yu.

As a result, Arsenal 1-1 at home to Tottenham and Chelsea 1-0 at home to Manchester City, and that fear seems to have gone away.

However, Mourinho still has a calm look, as if for him. Such a score is not enough to be reassuring, he will not worry about the team not scoring, nor will he be complacent because the team has scored, at least for now, Manchester City are playing well, especially in the front field, Silva Silva, Sergio Aguero and others, it is really wonderful.

"One more! Lin Yu! One more! The fans in the stadium were roaring loudly, cheering for Lin Yu, and the sound filled the entire arena.

Sergio Aguero glanced up at the fans. It looks a little annoyed, the team is down now, he is not in a good mood, and he hears such shouts again. Naturally, he was very unhappy in his heart, he wanted to score goals, he wanted to score goals for the team. Want to beat Chelsea.

Even if everyone else thinks Chelsea are invincible, he doesn't want to admit it. No team is invincible for him, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Barcelona have all scored goals. However, the team always seemed to be very scattered and unable to work together, which made him very annoyed.

Let's just kick it yourself!

Sergio Aguero looked at the Chelsea goal and thought to himself.

Originally, Manchester City's short pass coordination in the front field was indeed a must, but today it was obviously targeted by Chelsea, and it was very difficult to score a goal.

There is no doubt that Aguero is capable and very capable.

With just over 30 minutes into the first half, Sergio Aguero was able to strike a long-range shot from the edge of Cahill's pressure.

It was a powerful long-range shot that could be described as powerful, and although Cech made a save, it was completely unable to block Aguero's shot.

"The ball is in! Aguero! 'The Manchester City commentators were very excited, and in their opinion, even a draw at Stamford Bridge was a victory, because in recent seasons, since Jose Mourinho took charge of Chelsea, they have lost back-to-back games here, and they are very happy even if it is just a draw.

"Alas, the role of the star!" Mourinho spread his hands, a little helpless, Aguero's goal, like Lin Yu's long-range shot, is completely unreasonable and raw, no matter how powerful the defender is, he can't prevent it, unless he predicts it in advance and then adopts foul tactics, but who can predict that it will be able to score this goal.

Long shots are always sudden, and with luck components, this has to be admitted, even Lin Yu's long shots are also with a strong luck component, but luck is also part of strength, long shots can be scored, that's fine, don't care about anything else at all.

The score remained 1:1 until the end of the first half, with neither side able to score another goal.

The Arsenal and Tottenham matches were the same, with the home team scoring first and then the visitors equalising, and nothing has changed so far.

In the dressing room, someone told Wenger the score of the Chelsea and Manchester City game, but Wenger just frowned and shook his head: "It's better to ignore Chelsea's game now, the point gap between us and Chelsea is not two points or three points, let's play our own game first." ”

Although Manchester City drew with Chelsea, this is good news for Arsenal and good news for Wenger, but after all, Arsenal itself is now a mud bodhisattva, and it is difficult to protect itself, where is there still leisure to care about other people's games, if the game is over like this, at most Chelsea has not been able to open up the points gap with them, and they can't even catch up with a point.

At the start of the second half, the two sides changed sides, but Chelsea played with ease, faithfully fulfilling Mourinho's instructions to make sure there were no problems defensively at all times, and then to think about goals, and only if they could withstand that test would they be good.

What's more, for Chelsea, even if this game really has to be drawn, it is nothing, anyway, the advantage is very large, and the opponent is Manchester City, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about being forced to draw.

On Arsenal's side, the offensive is completely launched, after all, at their home stadium, at the Emirates Stadium, they absolutely refuse to lose to Tottenham, even if it is a draw.

Although Mourinho and Arsene Wenger are both great coaches, their coaching ideas are obviously different, Wenger is more interested in attacking, and Mourinho wants the team to do a good job of defending first.

Arsene Wenger believes that attacking is the best defence, while Mourinho believes that only a team that knows how to protect himself can win in a tough game.

Two different ways of thinking, and two different results, 20 minutes into the second half, Arsenal finally relied on a clever short pass from Mesut Ozil to score a goal from Ramsey, while the match between Chelsea and Manchester City was still a draw. (To be continued......)
