Arsene Wenger knew the game couldn't go on like this. Three days later, we host Sheffield Wednesday.

Sheffield Wednesday is a Premier League belly, a real belly. Of course, if it was like this before, it was almost someone else's ATM. But now it's different, Sheffield Wednesday are currently in the relegation zone. But it's not the teams that have been relegated, it's the teams that are hovering in the relegation zone.

Such a team will fight hard for relegation at the end of the season, really desperate.

This kind of team is at the end of the season, and no one wants to face it.

Seven days later, Arsenal will travel to Leeds United. It's a game that can't afford to lose. Leeds United would not have gotten to the point of competing with Arsenal for third place had it not been for the scandal of Woodgate and Lee Bowyer in January.

Now O'Reilly has managed to stabilize the team. Of course, I hope to get a place in the Champions League next season. Therefore, Leeds United must be red-eyed and will never give up the opportunity to fight to the death with Arsenal.

Arsenal can't afford to lose in both games.

Arsene Wenger, after weighing the pros and cons, finally had to make up his mind.

In fact, Wenger has been waiting for Arsenal to take the lead in this game. Once in the lead, Wenger has more room to adjust.

But Arsene Wenger discovered that George was an absolute scoundrel. In order to win, George will do whatever it takes. George can afford it, Wenger can't. So Wenger can only be a strong man with a broken wrist, and Wenger must not let his team be too tired in this game.

Because more important games await Arsenal later.

After the decision, Arsene Wenger was quick. replaced Bergkamp, who was already not in good physical condition, and then quickly replaced Ljungberg.

Although once you can't win Blackburn Rovers at home, it will be very difficult to get away from home. Especially after just playing Leeds United, it will be even more difficult for Blackburn to win. But after all, it's still possible. Cup, when the time comes, the winner will be decided, and it is not certain who will die.

But that's not the case in the league, and Arsene Wenger didn't dare to slack off.

When Ljungberg came off the field, he looked at George. I don't know what to do with my own head. The whole game was a non-stop struggle in midfield. It's okay if you get the ball and attack, but it doesn't feel like attacking.

Blackburn came here not at all like they wanted to score. Just keep sabotaging.

If Arsenal is a beautiful artist, then Blackburn is a spoiler. Arsenal had just drawn a beginning in the drawing board, and Blackburn was scribbling on the drawing board.

Ljungberg smiled wryly and shook his head, he really didn't understand the world of his own head.

However, after seeing Arsene Wenger's substitution, George immediately asked Pire to replace Hargreaves. George has been waiting for Arsene Wenger's substitution. Because once Wenger is replaced, it shows that Wenger has a Champions League place in mind than the League Cup.

George is betting, George is betting that Arsene Wenger will definitely choose the league and will definitely choose the Champions League place. So George has no scruples and no fear. In fact, Blackburn's style of play is far more wasteful than Arsenal's. After more than seventy minutes, it must not be sustainable.

Or more than 80 minutes, as long as Wenger attacks Blackburn, maybe Blackburn will not be able to withstand it because of physical problems.

But George was gambling, betting that Wenger would not dare to wait until the end. Looking at Arsene Wenger's substitution, George laughed. Because George knew he had won his bet.

And George knows that Wenger's adjustment must be based on stability. It's definitely the guy on the offensive line. Arsenal want to defend, then George has to attack.

Seeing George replace himself with Pire, Wenger frowned. This George is just so infuriating.

Arsene Wenger couldn't say anything either, though. George has a lot of players in his hands, and there are all kinds of players. George has an enviable bench on his hands.

After Pire went up, he started to play a free man in the front court.

After Arsene Wenger's substitution, Arsenal began to retreat across the board. In particular, the departure of Bergkamp has caused the pressure on Arsenal's side to plummet. However, Blackburn still did not play the familiar ground ball, and still bombed from a high altitude.

Of course, against players like Adams and Keown, it's not so easy to bomb from the heights.

But with the likes of Didier Drogba and Klose up front, George certainly won't give up on the ball in the air. George's request for Drogba was simple. In addition to trying to grab the ball, it is to grab the first point. Then hand the ball to the person next to you.

Drogba's training in the Premier League this season has been very effective. Especially after training with Klose, his judgment of the high ball has come a long way.

Adams felt this very well. When he first played Drogba, Drogba was just a fool who only knew how to run around. It's just that with his monster-like body, it makes Adams uncomfortable.

Then the current Drogba has been completely reborn.

Drogba's terrifying body, coupled with good header awareness, made Drogba and Adams almost half half and half fighting for the header.

“…… Deco, passing ...... Drogba, header back to Pire. Pire passes to Dunn, Dunn shoots! Sea-Man pounced! ”

"Drogba, header back...... Klose, the fish leaps to the top! Above the beam, it's a shame! ”

After George was replaced by Pire, Blackburn's side suddenly went on the offensive.

"Drogba, who was bought by George for 100,000 pounds, is really good. The perverted physicality, coupled with the growth of his head, may be as successful as Klose in the future. Mortensen watched Drogba rampage through the Arsenal penalty area and marveled.

The ball was passed into the box again, this time by Klose.

In the face of Vieira's defense, Deco, who came to control the second point, swept directly to Pire, who was on the left, without stopping the ball. This time Pire didn't pass the ball and rushed straight into the box.

Adams watched Drogba and Keown keep an eye on Klose, so when Pire passed Petit and entered the box, there was no one to defend.

It was Adams who reacted quickly and threw Drogba down. In Adams' mind, Drogba is just a good body, otherwise bullshit is not a striker. But Pire is different, if you put Pire in, then it is a direct threat.

The moment Adams came out, George, who was immersed in the ball, seemed to have eyes in the top of his head, and gently passed to Drogba's feet with the instep of his right foot.

“…… Pire, Pire got the ball. He went into the box and Adams came over to defend ...... Pire, without dribbling, passes the ball...... Drogba, Drogba got the ball, what will he do with the ball? ”

The moment Drogba got the ball, his head went blank.

Drogba said he was a striker, but he didn't score a few goals at all. And the goals were all overheaded. With Drogba's physical fitness, he can also eat with a header in the lower leagues.

But Drogba's feet are rough, and a slightly faster ball can stop a meter away. This kind of strength, of course, is rarely scored with the foot.

So the moment he received Pire's pass, Drogba was a little stunned.

It was Klose next to him who was Keown, who reacted the fastest. Shout "Shoot!" Shot! ”。 Klose shouted with almost all his strength.

Drogba was startled by the sound and kicked his left foot hard against the ball. The whole process is in the blink of an eye.

"Drogba, shoot!"

Drogba's shot was not good, but it was too close. And Drogba used almost all the strength under his feet, so the ball flew in like a cannonball. He-Man could only wave his hand.

"Seaman didn't save on the ball. Scored, beautiful. No one expected that it would be Drogba who scored the goal! Blackburn Rovers are 1-0 up away. ”

"George said before the game that he had touched the Arsenal name, and this game definitely did not seem to be fake. However, Arsenal's weakness is not a tactical weakness in Arsenal's style of play. It's a weakness in Arsenal's overall environment. ”

Unlike Blackburn, who have already secured second place in the Premier League, Arsenal still have to fight for a Champions League spot. Plus Arsenal's bench lineup is definitely not comparable to Blackburn. It's not Wenger's fault, and Wenger can't do anything about it. Because the door of life that George touched was Arsenal's death hole. It's not like Arsene Wenger is a manager who can change that. ”

"Look at Didier Drogba, he was there after the goal, completely overwhelmed. Even if Drogba does not develop in the future, with this goal alone, George's 100,000 pounds will not be spent in vain. It was a goal worth a thousand pounds, and 100,000 pounds was a bargain. ”

Seeing Blackburn Rovers score, Wenger just sighed and shook his head.

From the moment the decision was made to guarantee the league, Arsene Wenger knew that the game was out of his control. At this time, Wenger could only be envious, envious that George had a good hand in his hand. Arsene Wenger is also secretly determined to continue to add to his squad next season. Especially the bench lineup, there must not be a situation like this season.

But George jumped off the bench and the goal almost sealed Blackburn's place in the League Cup final.

Although George is full of confidence in himself, Arsenal are not underdogs after all. If the game is a draw, after 12 days, there will be a lot of variables. Although Arsenal was a tired team by then, George was still not at ease.

Only this game kills the suspense is the best way.

I just didn't expect it to be Drogba who scored the goal.

After Drogba scored, there were no more goals in the game. In the end, Blackburn Rovers won the first game of the League Cup semi-final 1-0 away from home.

"Coach Arsene Wenger, did I say that Arsenal's flaws are fatal? George smiled at Wenger.

"George, it's not over yet. There is also a second one. ”

"Everybody says I'm a dead duck and so is you. I'd like to hope we can do it again in the Champions League semi-finals next season. ”
