This league game is very good for Manchester City.

Not only do they have home advantage, but Arsenal's current form is also very beneficial for Manchester City, who are going to play in the semi-finals of the Champions League and simply have no energy to prepare for the game against Manchester City.

Arsenal have come a long way in this season's Champions League.

When Derby, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool were knocked out one after another, Arsenal persevered until the end and won 1-0 at home in the first leg of their semi-final against Villarreal, giving them hope of progressing to the final.

It's historic for them because they've never gone that far in the Champions League.

The second leg of the Champions League semi-finals was just two days before Manchester City and Arsenal met, which means that there was only one day left for Arsenal to prepare for the game, just after a big game, and they had to return to London from Spain, it is difficult to say what form Arsenal will be, but Manchester City can prepare for the game wholeheartedly.

In addition, Manchester City is playing at home, and the advantage is still obvious.

But it's hard to say that City will win, as Arsenal are by no means easy teams to deal with, but at this time the media have not covered much of the upcoming league and they are clearly more interested in Arsenal's Champions League semi-finals.

If Arsenal can progress to the final, England will have a new team in the Champions League final.

Wan Sheng also paid attention to the game.

He is not interested in the results of the match between Arsenal and Villarreal, even if Arsenal reach the final, it is not his honor, it has nothing to do with him or Manchester City, he cares about the current style of play of Arsenal.

So he also called all the players to watch the game together.

This Champions League semi-final is what many people are looking forward to, Villarreal is a Spanish team, Arsenal is the representative of England's attacking football, and many fans like Arsenal. It's because their games tend to be good-looking, and the two teams are likely to play in an offensive battle.

But this one was different from what I imagined, and the whole game was quite dull.

The team in the red shirt on the pitch didn't seem to be Arsenal, it was another team, because they played quite conservatively. There is no offensive football at all.

If it weren't for the fact that it was Arsenal, I'm afraid no one would have thought they had anything to do with Arsenal.

Defence wins, that's not wrong at all, when there is a goal advantage, it is very necessary to focus on defense, if you let go of your hands and feet to play attacking football with Villarreal, then a goal advantage can easily be lost.

But this Arsenal game was also too conservative, making the game look very dull. They defended the whole game and even played very little even in the middle line. Completely suppressed in the half by Villarreal.

Arsenal defended well, and until the end of the second half, Villarreal couldn't find the back of the net.

As long as it drags on until the end of the game, Arsenal will knock out Villarreal and advance to the final.

God just loves to joke.

Arsenal had held on until the end of the game, with 90 minutes going on, and Villarreal still had not found the back of the net, when a foul by defender Klich in the box gave Villarreal a chance. The referee awarded Villarreal a penalty.

This penalty is especially precious!

If Villarreal can score a penalty, then they will be able to drag the game to extra-time. It is not known who will win and who will lose!

But God just likes to joke that when Riquelme is standing at the penalty spot, a lot of people are already thinking about extra time, and no one thinks Riquelme will miss a penalty, no one, just because he is Riquelme.

But God stood firmly on the opposite side of Villarreal!

Lehmann saved the penalty and it was Arsenal who advanced to the final!

A game without a goal. But there is a very dramatic ending, and at the same time, the pain is left in the love song court. After the final whistle, Franco and other players wept on their backs.

It's a sad story.

To Riquelme, to Villarreal

But for Arsenal, it's a joy to celebrate. After the game, manager Arsene Wenger lifted his morale and said, "If we get to the final, then we want to win the championship!" ”

After knocking out Villarel, Arsenal became the seventh English team to reach the Champions League final, the first London side.

'It's such an important game and it's not about the prize money in the Champions Cup, it's not about whether Tottenham will finish fourth in the league, it's not about the new stadium, it's not even about Thierry Henry's whereabouts and Arsene Wenger's future,' said one die-hard Arsenal fan. ”

So now, Arsenal are on that stage.

It was one of the most memorable nights for Arsenal fans since 26 May 1989. 17 years ago, the team had to beat Liverpool 2-0 away to claim the league title. In the end, Michael Thomas scored that second goal for Arsenal before the end of the game, and that day has since become the "St. Michael's Day" for Arsenal fans.

Arsene Wenger's last words to his players before last night's game were, 'Be yourself. "Unfortunately, they didn't have a chance until the final whistle.

This 0-0 is a struggle.

In the first leg, Riquelme fell victim to his team's strategy. At the time, Villarell had a high defensive line and the distance between the three midfielders was close, determined not to give Arsenal any space up front. They succeeded, successfully stifling the opposition's attack, but also lost their core in a crowded midfield. Coupled with the special care of several Arsenal midfielders, Riquelme barely showed anything.

Six days later, it was Henry's turn.

Wan Sheng saw only one word in the match between Arsenal and Villarreal - conservative, Arsenal's conservatism made their captain ineffective, and five midfielders chased after Riquel Mesolin, leaving Henry isolated in front.

No one wants to step forward, so it's no surprise that all of a sudden Arsenal have such a high rate of passing errors that it's hard to get through even the halfway line.

Arsenal's conservatism made Wansheng hesitate.

The match between Manchester City and Arsenal is a 'must win' game, otherwise there will be regrets in winning the final round of the league, so he has no more options.

Arsenal's conservatism is also a lesson for Manchester City, he sees the consequences, so he really has no other choice

Most of the media talked about Arsenal progressing to the Champions League final, and it wasn't until the day of the game that they realised that the league was also important because City were likely to win the title early.

And so the attention returned.

At this time, many people's opinions have changed, before many media analysis Manchester City has a great advantage, schedule, venue, personnel, etc., Manchester City can be said to be the right time and place, but now it is different, because Arsenal defeated Villarreal to enter the Champions League final.

What does the Champions League have to do with the league?

No one can give a definite answer to this question, the two are different competitions, but one team can participate, and the connection can only be placed on one team, but obviously both participate in it, which will distract one team, but the media has linked the two together and explained that it is very beneficial to Arsenal, because Arsenal can carry the power of Champions League victory and will perform better in the league.

In addition, the league is also quite important for Arsenal.

They currently sit fourth in the league and have no hope of progressing to the league, but fourth place is clinging to arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur, with only two points separating the two teams, and a single lapse could see them fall to fifth place in the league.

The fifth place in the league means that they will not be able to participate in next season's Champions League, unless Arsenal can win the Champions League, just like Liverpool last season, and Arsenal certainly does not want to be overtaken by Tottenham Hotspur, which is not only a matter of ranking, but also because Tottenham Hotspur is their sworn enemy.

Arsenal can't tolerate being overtaken by their city rivals in the league!

So this league, Arsenal takes it very seriously.

As a result, many media said, "Arsenal will definitely perform better with the power of entering the Champions League." Manchester City want to win the league at home, but it will not be easy! ”

'The game is just as important for Arsenal and it will be about whether they can play in the Champions League next season!

'Arsenal are not an easy team to deal with, even though they have only just played in the Champions League semi-finals'

“”

In the midst of the media coverage, manager Arsene Wenger also came in to talk about the game, "We have just come back from Spain, but I am sure everyone will take the game seriously because the win is just as important to us! ”

'They were league winners but we were in the Champions League final!' Arsene Wenger is clearly saying that Arsenal's results are no worse than Manchester City's: "We didn't prepare much for the game, but I don't think we need anything to prepare for, we've played each other, we know each other very well, and even away from home we are confident of winning the game. ”

Wan Sheng didn't say much about this.

At the last minute, you don't need to say anything, just let the game tell!

Soon the game came.

In the home team's locker room, Wan Sheng looked at every player seriously, he could see the heat in everyone's eyes, and everyone was looking forward to winning the championship.

He doesn't need to motivate everyone anymore.

"That's all I have to say." Finally, in everyone's expectation, Wan Sheng spoke, "Victory!" We need to win! We must win! ”

He looked out the window, where the Manchester City fans were already cheering, they couldn't wait for the game to start, and they couldn't wait to celebrate the title, "All the fans are ready to celebrate the title, we have to meet the demands of the fans. ”

"I hope that after 90 minutes, the fans will wait for the championship and we can celebrate together!"

Everyone should be surprised.

There was a sparkle of determination in the eyes of every player and they knew it was the biggest league game of the season.

If you win, you win the championship!

Defeat can only win, not defeat! (To be continued.) )
