Seven days of National Day, six watches every day!

I wish you all a happy National Day! ――

Ljungberg was furious, Villarreal was stunned, Alvarez was like a child who made a mistake and didn't dare to raise his head, and Highbury was like dropping an atomic bomb, and the sound of the explosion shook all directions!

'Arsenal scored the second goal! Ljungberg's lucky goal!

Looking back in slow motion, the trajectory of the ball after Ljungberg's shot has deviated from the goal, but Alvarez subconsciously wanted to raise his leg to clear the ball, but the ball was refracted and then the ball flew into Villarreal's goal incredibly!

Ljungberg extended Arsenal's lead, and given Arsenal's defensive prowess this season, it could have been a game-winning goal!

Qin Xiong followed up the opener and provided the familiar assist as he calmly and sensitively set up the batteries for Ljungberg in the penalty area, and Arsenal's creativity and acumen in attack are among the best in European football.

Villarreal are in difficulty, one goal behind, and there may be a fight back at the Love Song Stadium, but if they are two goals behind, they are undoubtedly in a desperate situation!

Arsenal has maintained a record of 10 clean sheets in the Champions League this season, and now the eleventh game is still ten minutes away from expanding this record! ”

The Arsenal crowd will be embracing them from the sidelines, and everyone knows that Ljungberg's goal is as important as gold and is the cornerstone of their progress to the Champions League final.

At this time, it is almost difficult to see the happy and enjoyable expressions on the faces of the Arsenal players, they are only excited and excited. But still have to suppress this emotion!

The mistakes of the past cannot be repeated. I don't want to taste the disappointment again.

Manuel Pellegrini's face has turned ugly on the sidelines. He made substitutions, removed almost all of his offensive players, and went all out to strengthen his defense.

This is not a magnificent Highbury, but the yellow submarine has hit the rocks!

Villarreal will have to hold on to the final minute, at least Pellegrini thinks it's not out of the question to come back home from two goals down, but if Arsenal are allowed to score one more goal, then the ticket to the Champions League final really doesn't have to be imagined.

With substitutions, Villarreal slowed down the pace of the game. At the same time, it also consumes some time.

Riquelme appeared to have had an unhappy altercation with Manuel Pellegrini as he left the pitch, presumably with a split of opinion over the final stage of the team's changes.

Arsenal continued their onslaught with their opponents defending at full strength, and they will certainly be hoping to extend their success even further!

Villarreal had already defended the box impeccably and Qin Xiong, Cesc Fabregas, Pire, and even Silva's long-range shots from the perimeter were in vain.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, all the players on the Arsenal pitch roared to the sky, clenched their fists and stared at each other, their eyes met with determination. Everyone has the same belief: go to Paris!

"The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals Arsenal's home match against Villarreal ended, and Arsenal won Villarreal 2:0 with goals from Qin Xiong and Ljungberg to take the lead. In Highbury, Villarreal are at an absolute disadvantage, Arsenal are in good form, although Henry's performance did not meet expectations, but Arsenal's multi-point flowering attacking versatility made them not miss a good chance at home, and the two sides will move to the Love Song Stadium in a week for the second leg of the fierce battle, can Villarreal turn the tables? Whoever advances will make club history and reach the Champions League final for the first time!

One more thing worth mentioning, with Arsenal moving into the Emirates Stadium next season, today's game is Arsenal's last Champions League home game in Highbury!

To be able to take the Champions League semi-finals as the curtain call, carrying the memories and rise and fall of countless gunners, Highbury deserves our highest respect, the scene resounded with applause, enduring, this is the fans in the Highbury Stadium to make a European curtain call goodbye, their mood must be reluctant, but just as Arsenal in the Champions League step by step to write a new record, create a new history, Arsenal is advancing, Highbury is a symbol of the past, the larger and better facilities of the Emirates Stadium is the future of Arsenal!

See you at the Love Song Stadium next week! ”

The Arsenal squad came together and took off their shirts to high-five each other, with Arsene Wenger smiling and waiting for his disciples to come down.

The reporters on the sidelines focused on the Arsenal players, and the focus was no longer on Henry.

The person who the reporters tacitly aimed at the camera was: Qin Xiong!

Wenger hugged each disciple, and finally put his arm around Qin Xiong's shoulder, and when he walked into the players' tunnel, Wenger smiled in Qin Xiong's ear: "Today's performance was great, you have really become the core of Arsenal, maybe there are problems between you and the club that have not been resolved, but I believe that soon we will have a satisfactory ending." ”

The outside world has long regarded Qin Xiong as the core of Arsenal, but it is the first time that Wenger has really said it.

As for what Wenger said, Qin Xiong tacitly agreed.

Naturally, it is a renewal.

Now that Arsene Wenger has given assurances, it appears that he is going to put further pressure on the board.

After hearing this, Qin Xiong turned his head and smiled at Wenger.

At the post-match press conference, the proud Wenger praised the performance of the whole team, because one of the focus of reporters' questions was Qin Xiong, and Wenger chatted happily.

"I'm not surprised that Qin Xiong has grown to the level he is today, he is clearly stronger than when he first came to Highbury, and the improvement over the past two seasons is evident because of his exemplary professionalism, his attitude in training, his focus on football, his almost no off-field scandals, his dedication to achieving his dreams, and I'm very happy that he has achieved what he is today. He has been an indispensable key player in the Arsenal squad and we hope he will continue to be with Highbury and maybe one day he will be the captain of Arsenal! ”

Although Wenger, who said this, did not make any substantive guarantees, but in front of everyone, his statement was very positional.

At least the manager can't just say that a player will be the captain in the future, which needs to be deliberate and very deliberate.

Wenger wants to keep Qin Xiong, and he has always thought that just like when he went to Amsterdam to negotiate a transfer with Qin Xiong, his sincerity and confidence in Qin Xiong have never changed.

Manuel Pellegrini was harassed by Spanish journalists in his post-match press conference, while Fleet Street was happy to watch the "infighting" of the opposing side.

Spanish journalists ridiculed Pellegrini for being too big, and daring to play two strikers when he was a guest despite having problems at the back was undoubtedly self-defeating.

The reason for his defeat to Arsene Wenger was also directly labelled as a "lack of European experience". (To be continued......)
