Chapter 1185: Three England vs. Barcelona
There were not many people who were optimistic about Arsenal before the game, but no one expected to play such a score, 4:2, 6 goals, it was a goal battle, for Benitez, who was more conservative and did not work hard at the moment of crisis, such a result was a bit surprising.

In fact, not only the result of the game was beautiful, but the process was also very exciting, both sides had the opportunity to eliminate their opponents, and in the end they were more mature, and Liverpool won the final victory with more superstars.
Arsene Wenger said before the game that it was "the toughest challenge of his coaching career", which ended in defeat and the professor's disappointment was understandable, and in his post-match press conference, Wenger said: "The result was really unacceptable to us, and almost all the important decisions made by the referee were against us. In fact, in the last 7 to 8 weeks, we've had to deal with a series of things that you don't want to face. We were one step away from knocking out Liverpool and we created more chances than Liverpool over the two legs. But now, we're out. Of course, we also had problems, I think after the 2-2 score, the players became conservative and not focused, and I can only say that this result is a natural disaster. ā
After this game, Arsenal has been empty, in this regard, Wenger said that Arsenal will still play the rest of the games seriously, but because there is no title to compete for, Arsenal from now on to focus on next season, and strive to achieve better results next season.
Arsenal and Liverpool shook hands three times throughout the season, and this game played a full 90 minutes of joy and sorrow, 6 goals, and the Champions League semi-finals were lost several times, and finally Liverpool was included in the bag.
Benitez was impressed, saying: "This is the ninth time Liverpool have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, and I'm proud of that, some of their players played in the Champions League final two years ago and have no lack of experience, while we have a lot of experience in Europe, the biggest difference is the belief. Arsenal are a great team, and the penetration of short passes in the game kept us at a loss for a while. However, we held on, Liverpool never lacked the ability and will to play tough battles, and in the end, we qualified. Of course, it's hard to say that this is the best team to win, they have the ball and they create a lot of chances, but in the cup we are not afraid of any team and can knock out any team. ā
Now is the Internet era, on the Internet Liverpool and Arsenal fans also talk freely about this game, exchange their opinions, of course, there is no lack of quarrels and abuse, but because this game is wonderful, the winner does not dare to be arrogant, and the loss also feels that although the defeat is still honorable, the exchange is still relatively friendly.
Fans on both sides must praise their own players, but there is no consensus, this consensus is that Chen Yu played a decisive role in this game, he is well-deserved the world's number one, as Arsenal fans said, if Chen Yu and Adebayor change teams, then the result of the game must also be reversed.
After the game, the media also unanimously regarded Chen Yu as the best player in this goal battle, "The Times" said that Chen Yu forcibly changed the course of history after 2:2, bringing Liverpool to the championship car, compared with Liverpool, Arsenal lacks Chen Yu, Gerrard and other superstars who can change the process and the result.
"The Sun" regretted that Arsenal lost the last chance to win the title, this season had brought Arsenal a good vision, but in the 4 championship competition, they all rose and then fell without exception, and now all out, for many seasons, Arsenal almost ended the whole season in the same way, since 05, Arsenal has not won another game, the reporter believes that although there is Arsenal too much pursuit of art and beauty, there are also problems of the team and the coach themselves, Just like Barcelona, which has the same style as Arsenal, they have won a lot of championships, Arsenal's problem is that their style and style of play are too single, only a short pass penetration, and the team's ability to play against the wind is too poor, not tenacious enough, and always becomes the losing side in the stalemate, in addition, the striker's ability to attack the city is too poor, which is also a problem that Arsenal has not solved after Henry left, and finally the "Sun" suggested that Coach Wenger enrich his style of play, three-dimensional attack, and introduce world-class strikers, sometimes a little utilitarian, so that Arsenal can get out of the quagmire of being without a title.
"Daily Mail" is full of praise for the game, thinking that this is a classic duel, although there are no red cards and penalties, but the game is full of ups and downs, suspense, like a novel, six goals are too addictive to fans, and finally Liverpool's promotion is also reasonable, and will make the later semi-finals more exciting, because the other group of promotions is Chelsea, if the artistic Arsenal and the iron-blooded conservative Chelsea play, it is estimated that the probability of Arsenal losing is more than 8 percent, The battle between Liverpool and Chelsea is full of uncertainties, and no one can say which one will advance to the final.
Media fans are full of praise for this semi-final between Liverpool and Arsenal, but the Chelsea people are full of opinions about it, because they were eliminated by Liverpool last season, and Chelsea basically did not win against Liverpool in the cup, and this time before the final, it is inevitable that Chelsea will be afraid.
On the Internet, Chelsea fans are complaining about why Arsenal failed to hold up in the last ten minutes to allow Liverpool to reach the last four, and Chelsea players also said that the opponent is Liverpool is a little worse than Arsenal, and Liverpool is the most difficult opponent to deal with in the Champions League.
Chelsea's manager Grant obviously doesn't want to lose morale before the semi-finals start, he also told reporters the next day intentionally or unintentionally that Chelsea doesn't care who advances Liverpool and Arsenal, Chelsea has lost the qualification to compete for the other three titles, the Champions League is their only goal, for this goal, Chelsea will fight to the last breath, and finally Grant also said that Chelsea has lost the previous two times in the Champions League, Chelsea has lost, but three things, this time Chelsea should win once.
With all the quarter-finals over, it is finally the first time in the history of the Champions Cup that three teams from the same league will meet in the semi-finals in a row. In line with previous predictions, Roma could not stop the Manchester United of Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, and Porto were unable to fight back at Camp Nou, and the two giants met smoothly. In the other half, the focus was on the Gunners' clash with the Reds: Arsenal thrashed Anfield 4-2, while the Blues knocked out Fenerbahce to reach the semi-finals for the third time in four years with Liverpool.
This makes the English media feel crazy, the major British media have said that the Premier League is now the world's first league, and three teams have reached the Champions League semi-finals for two consecutive seasons, which is something that no league has done, in addition to the best star Chen Yu also plays in the Premier League Liverpool, which is enough to show that the Premier League can now attract the best players in the world, the best players, the strongest team, the richest owners, these are in the Premier League, if anyone still questions about this, then it is really prejudiced against the Premier League.
The top three teams in the Premier League, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and La Liga giants Barcelona entered the semi-finals, which is tantamount to a problem for the bookmaker, the strength of these four teams is very close, in terms of combat effectiveness, Liverpool is the strongest, technically speaking, Barcelona is the best, from the point of view of defense and fighting spirit, Chelsea is the strongest, from the experience and strength of the coach, as well as the blood attributes, Manchester United surpasses the other three, these four teams have the strength to kill the opponent to advance to the final, predicting who they can win the championship is really similar to blindness.
Therefore, the odds of the three major bookmakers to the four teams are also very close, Liverpool 7/4; Manchester United 3/1; Chelsea 3/1; Barcelona 3/1; except for Liverpool is slightly higher, the other three giants are exactly the same, Barcelona can get such odds is actually very difficult, because they have to face the three Premier League giants to chase and intercept, in this case, if Barcelona can still reach the top, then their championship is too high.
In the semi-finals on April 23, the most concerned is not the game between Liverpool and Chelsea, everyone knows the style of these two teams, must be a steady defensive counterattack, especially after meeting in the Champions League in a row, both sides know the roots, and they also know that the opponent is good at counterattacking, the final result is estimated to be their own heavy troops to guard the half, and finally I don't know who to rely on or the opponent's mistake to win the game, of course, it may also be another style of painting, that is, the two sides suddenly attacked, big fight, Fight for a big score, but this probability is very small, almost the same as winning the lottery.
The most watched game is the big battle between Manchester United and Barcelona, Barcelona is the most gorgeous team in the world, with the title of Dream Team, Manchester United is the most enthusiastic team in the world, the nickname Red Devils is enough to say everything, the game of these two teams, the possibility of passion is very high, and fans all over the world also want to see the matchup between the three best young talents in the world today, Messi, Rooney and Ronaldo.
Now the best player in the world is, of course, the world footballer Chen Yu, it turns out that Ronaldinho can still compete with Chen Yu, but Ronaldinho has fallen too fast, and now he can't play the whole game in Barcelona, and there are rumors that after this season, the Brazilian genius may go to Serie A AC Milan for retirement.
Ronaldini is one year younger than Chen Yu, and now Chen Yu is in full swing, while Ronaldinho is already in the twilight, which makes people sigh.
The current best in the world is Chen Yu, but the best in the future is probably one of Messi, Ronaldo and Rooney, Messi is 87 years, Ronaldo is 85 years, Rooney is 85 years, one is 21 years old, two are 23 years old, it is the age of prosperity, everyone wants to know which of them is stronger, who is the ruler of world football after Chen Yu and Ronaldinho, and these mysteries will be revealed after April 23.
