The score was sealed in the 80th minute by substitute Bergkamp with a long-range effort and it was a pleasant night for all Arsenal people. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The game itself was not exciting, but it was clear to all those who watched the whole process that this team solved the opponent with minimal cost!

The situation is clear.

Even if the difference in strength is obvious, West Bromwich Albion, who have already fought to the semi-finals, will do their best to fight for a victory. In this case, it would be a loss to be a match for Maimang, as Arsenal did not have the FA Cup as an important goal, and there was no need to spend a lot of money on such a game.

In this case, catching the opponent's mistakes is the most effective way to fight, although the scene seems to be uneventful, the real result has reassured many people.

There is a play, there is definitely a play!

It was after the other FA Cup semi-final the next night that the value of the game really came to fruition.

Manchester United lost 0:1 at home to Stoke City and missed the final!

Upsets have always been a tradition in the FA Cup, and this one is no exception.

Considering that the crucial away game against Chelsea will be three days away, Ferguson has hidden most of his main players, and even Yao Xia, who has been doing well recently, has sat on the bench, as if he is saving for the next game.

As a result, I didn't expect that Manchester United, which was still higher than its opponent on paper, may have lost the game because it was focused on the next strong dialogue!

As a result, Arsenal's FA Cup final opponent was Stoke City. Considering the difference in quality between the two teams, as well as the home atmosphere at Wengeb Stadium, the historic cup competition has been considered a bag by Gunners fans.

In fact, both teams played 1-1 in both legs of the season, which is obviously wishful thinking for a winner-or-lose final. However, the fans can't control so much, and the media also came out in due course to add fuel and vinegar, lest the world be chaotic.

"Arsenal easily won the key battle, and the FA Cup was put into storage early!"

"One report and one report, Manchester United will give up to Xian!"

"Ferguson made a big mistake because of the rotation, and the way to defend the title came to an abrupt end!"

"Arsenal are coming out of the doldrums quickly, and the future is promising!"

Comments such as these dominated the pages of major media outlets, including the Manchester press, who sighed and set their sights on the next round of the league.

Manchester United travel to Chelsea, while Arsenal host Sheffield United.

The difficulty of the two games was not the same at all, so it seemed that overnight, the situation of the two teams was completely reversed, and everything began to move in favor of Arsenal.

The world is so impermanent, even the old drivers have a lot of emotion.

"The big names are slipping, admire, admire!"

"Generally average, third in the world, one position short of your old age!"

After five o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday, Lu Wei and Yao Xia routinely came to visit the door, and after chatting a few words, they began to slander each other.

Both teams kick off on Sunday at the same time, but Arsenal have plenty of time to rest and adjust when they play a crucial game at Juventus three days later, while United's Champions League quarter-finals take place 10 days later.

Comparing the two, it is clear who is biological and who is raised.

Fortunately, the Arsenal players have long been accustomed to this, and no special care will not affect their mood, let alone the treatment of their competitors.

"One position missing? So who is the first? Yao Xia looked curious and couldn't help asking.

"The first one is empty, you can work hard." You Mo lowered his voice and followed the temptation.

"Uh......" Yao Xia was decisively stuck, scratching his head.

"Do you believe everything he says?" Lu Wei's face was unbearable, obviously reminding him of the past.

"yes, I believe the boss." Yao Xia twisted his neck and nodded vigorously.

Such a simple answer made the two listeners speechless for a moment, and Wang Dan, who was not far away, trembled with a smile, and said with a proud face: "Actually, it's not a big deal to play a big name, depending on what your purpose is." ”

As soon as this remark about the remarkable effect of the husband was released, Lu Weixian couldn't stand it anymore, "Little fatty, did you hear it, it makes sense to play a big name!" ”

Yao Xia nodded decisively, "I think the boss did the right thing!" ”

"Damn!" Looking at the smiling expression of the goods, Lu Wei rarely burst into a foul mouth, "You can give up the treatment, the poisoning is too deep!" ”

As soon as he heard this, You Mo was not happy.

How can a person who has joined our religion be so slandered when he is resurrected with full blood?

"If you lose to Chelsea, Chrysanthemum won't be able to keep it!"

......

Indeed, if Arsenal win relegation and Sheffield United lose to Chelsea, then goal difference will determine who wins the top spot. As a result, the position that has been secured for thirteen rounds has been shaken again, and Ferguson's team is about to face a severe test!

As the core of the team, Lu Wei's performance will become an important highlight of the game, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a decisive factor.

Sunday at 3pm, Stamford Bridge.

There was only a small patch of red in the blue ocean that was not swallowed up, but it was impossible to make waves in the stormy waves, and the only hope was the eleven red figures on the field.

Chelsea are currently third, five points clear of Arsenal and eight points from the top of the table, with a theoretical silver lining to win the table.

The premise is to win the game in front of you!

Of course, if this hard bone in front of him is gnawed off by them, Wenger will wake up laughing in his dreams.

In fact, for a team that invested 120 million pounds in a single season and the final result is likely to be nothing, the first and tenth ranked opponents are opponents that must be defeated, otherwise the big boss in the stands will be furious and it will be difficult to ensure that no one will suffer.

With the league title remaining in their goal for the season, Chelsea currently have plenty of players and no fitness problems. Manchester United, who had just lost the FA Cup semi-finals and had a very unsatisfactory performance against Arsenal, were the defending champions in their pre-match predictions.

Ferguson knew this, and he took the lead in the line-up, with Keane and Bart in the middle at the back, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes on the wings, and Lu Wei and Ruud van Nistelrooy. The back four are Gary Neville, Ferdinand, Stam, Silvestre. The old man hesitated on the goalkeeper issue, but finally chose to trust Bosnich.

There is no way to distrust it, the French international Barthez introduced last season was originally bought to succeed the legendary Schmeichel, but this benevolent brother is obviously guilty of not adapting to the soil, and all kinds of butter hands are terrifying. This season is even more unlucky, a back injury occurred during training, and he has been lying down for more than a month, and now he has just come back, how dare he send him to the rescue.

NOT TO MENTION THE THIRD GOALKEEPER, HOW CAN A 19-YEAR-OLD ROOKIE WITH NO EXPERIENCE IN THE TOP LEAGUE HOLD THIS KIND OF BIG SCENE IN FRONT OF HIM.

Fortunately, the four defenders are all relatively reliable old comrades, and Bosnich just needs not to repeat the strange mistakes against Arsenal.

"If you don't refuel, you'll be caught up by your brother!"

When he walked out of the players' tunnel, Ferguson put his hand on Lu Wei's shoulder, smiled and threatened, "Also, if Ruud wins the golden boot, others will admire your spirit of fair play." If Zlatan is allowed to come from behind, you and your brother will be very shameless! ”

Although this remark smacks of ridicule, it is also the truth.

Since Jumo threatened to give Ruud van Nistelrooy a hard time, the Dutchman's goalscoring efficiency has plummeted, with only one goal scored in five rounds. If the team has a good record, it is more threatening. It's a pity that Manchester United's performance during this period is really unsatisfactory, even if the media is afraid of the old man's obscenity and dare not speak nonsense, there will still be a lot of rumors flying in private.

The game in front of him attracted hundreds of millions of attention, and considering the image of the disciple, Ferguson had to remind him.

On top of that, it was United's biggest game in the league and the best place to go head-to-head with the long-time top scorers in the charts. Given the opposition to the home atmosphere, Ruud van Nistelrooy's situation is clearly at a disadvantage, and without strong support behind him, the limelight of United's top star will be overshadowed by Chelsea's leading goalscorer, and it is normal for the rest of the game to have an impact.

After all, confidence is a very important quality for a shooter, and the bigger the game, the more so.

Those strikers who are short of balls, in addition to luck, can know the strength of confidence at a glance when the opportunity comes. Therefore, some people can easily pierce the window paper, and some people always linger outside the window, scratching their livers and hearts in a hurry.

Ruud van Nistelrooy will have a significant tactical position in Ferguson's next five-year plan, and if he finishes the season with a high start and a low finish, his strategy will also be affected.

"Chatting with that guy yesterday, it was exactly the same tone as yours." Lu Wei smiled and shook his head, "Even the content is the same." ”

Ferguson was stunned for a moment, and also laughed, "He hasn't won the league championship yet, isn't he worried about this season's efforts in vain?" ”

Lu Wei smiled and looked straight at the exit of the players' tunnel, his eyes were deep and his voice was calm.

'He's patient enough to wait for the opportunity to come. Because the stronger the opponent, the more he can keep him calm. ”

Ferguson burst out laughing.

"Then you'll have to put enough pressure on him!"

"Yes,

……

At the same time, on another field.

Pat Rice sat side by side with Arsene Wenger in the dugout, looking relaxed.

A timely victory gave the two of them a lot of confidence in their disciple's ability to self-adjust. The FA Cup and the league are in good shape, which makes this confidence very confident.

In fact, these are not the most important things, in the eyes of the two, the team has completed the transformation of temperament, from artistic seekers to real warriors.

Like a long journey, after going through trials big and small, they reach a state they have never reached before they reach the end.

Focused and serious, pampered and not shocked, strong confidence and persistent belief give them the spiritual strength they need to create miracles.

Now, take it one step at a time and complete all the challenges!

"It took me most of my life to understand that there is such a big difference between winning beautifully and winning steadily!"

Pat Rice said with a smile, pointing to the field, "We used to be able to win beautifully, and at the same time, we thought that this was the greatest joy of playing football." ”

As the only member of the audience, Wenger did not speak, and looked thoughtful.

The voice continued to ring.

"It's a pity that no team can play beautiful football all the time, no matter how strong it is."

"It's not that the effort isn't enough, it's that the direction is wrong."

"Because your opponents are constantly studying you, and the speed is much faster than the improvement that your efforts bring!"

"And your state will go up and down, your luck will come out and wreak havoc, and other things that will be annoying will always be there."

"In this way, winning beauty becomes a luxury, and it cannot and should not be the only goal in life."

After a slight pause, the voice continued.

"The beauty of a sport isn't how nice a game you play, it's that you don't lose confidence when you're playing ugly or unlucky. Even if you lose, you won't lose your faith, and you won't lose your way! ”

"Actually, if you compare Dutch football with German football, you can draw a very clear conclusion."

"A team that can play consistently in any form is far stronger than a team that plays beautiful football from time to time!"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Wenger's face.

The French have always been big believers in beautiful football, and they have always pursued the miracle of the stadium like a work of art.

The success of the '97-'98 season, and the praise on and off the field, strengthened his desire to follow this path. Even the scarcity of last season's results didn't shake him in any way.

As everyone knows, the Arsenal team that season had the last laugh because it occupied the right time and place, not how strong the beautiful football is!

As for the praise of opponents and the media, it is based on victory, ignoring this point and blindly indulging in artistic pursuits is a typical cart before the horse!

In the competitive world, the winner is king!

"Yes, the pursuit of art makes it easy to lose sight of the joy of life. Mo is right, I should shift some of my thoughts to my family, instead of blindly asking them to do something for me. ”

"Haha, I'm looking forward to this summer!" Pat Rice laughed exaggeratedly, and there was an indescribable lightness in his voice.

As if after a protracted battle, you finally see the dawn of victory, and you need to open up and get drunk to forget all the gloom.

"What about you, will it continue next season?" Arsene Wenger turned his head and looked at the old man.

There was a light on the familiar face, and the look in the eyes was more abundant than ever.

The sound is even more neutral.

"Of course, I thought, if you feel that you are living younger and younger, why should you worry about your ability to withstand pressure?"

Wenger was smiling happily at the answer, and his face was full of joy.

"Yes, the joy of work is unstoppable, and the desire to succeed has made me more than ten years younger!"

Pat Rice coughed hard, serious.

"It's good to want to succeed, but if you're ten years younger, Anne might find it strange."

"What's weird?"

"Could it be a woman.......

"......" (To be continued.) )
