Chapter 124: The decisive battle at the Allianz Arena

With a stunner win over Manchester City, Arsenal are one step closer to the FA Cup! Reaching the final, there's no reason why Arsenal shouldn't win the FA Cup! On 14 May 2011, the FA Cup final will be played at Wembley Stadium and will be a pivotal match for Arsenal to make history. Arsenal's opponents are Stoke City, a team that doesn't see much competitiveness in the eyes of the Gunners.

Arsenal reached the final, while Bolton Wanderers faced Stoke City for a place in the final. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Stoke City, ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, beat Bolton 5-0 and reached the FA Cup final for the first time; Reaching the FA Cup final also means Stoke City will earn a ticket to next season's Europa League. Despite the unexpected results, Stoke City will be hoping for a miracle to set off the 2010-2011 season.

Naturally, the Gunners don't care about Stoke City, because Stoke City is really not a good team; And this FA Cup final also has some other focus, Arsenal and Stoke City still have some grudges.

Last season, Stoke City defender Shaw Cross tackled Ramsey's leg, and Xiao Qing and his teammates were very unhappy; The young Ramsey had a lot of potential, but this serious injury deprived Ramsey of the opportunity to go further, at least now it seems that Ramsey is completely not at the level he should be. Now in the FA Cup final, Arsenal will definitely go all out to teach Stoke City a lesson, although Stoke City's style of play is still simple and rough, but Arsenal can beat these guys!

It has undoubtedly been a success for Arsenal at home, and they are unbeatable in the league. It is also only one step away from the summit of Zuihou; The League Cup and FA Cup are also not too difficult for Arsenal. Just beat Stoke City. Then Arsenal are completely capable of winning all the top competitions in England!

The Gunners are something to be proud of, and their results this season have been incredible, and they are now just a few steps away from achieving glory. In the league, in the FA Cup, they don't have much pressure at the moment, and perhaps the only challenge for Arsenal is the Champions League.

Because of the loss to Bayern Munich at home in the first leg, the pressure on Arsenal is not small; Although it was only a goal behind by a big score, no one would be optimistic at this time, because Bayern's quality is really good. At the Allianz Arena, Arsenal simply won't be able to make it easy to win the game. Xiao Qing and his teammates are mentally prepared for this, although they are making great progress in China, but in Europe, Arsenal still needs to continue to move forward.

At the Kearney training base, Arsene Wenger looked at the players' preparations with a very serious face; The gunners have no intention of fighting now, although it is already spring, and although the sun is warm and makes people feel weak and want to sleep, the gunners are very serious now. Having reached the FA Cup final, the Gunners are not going to celebrate. Because it's something they've thought of for a long time, it's not a big win for Arsenal to celebrate.

Arsenal are now more ready. They will soon start a zuihou showdown with Bayern Munich; In order to come back from defeat at the Allianz Arena and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, Arsenal will have to work harder and more committed at this time. Bayern will not relax in the situation of taking the initiative again, they all know the quality of Arsenal; In order to make a difference in the Champions League, both teams will go all out to win the second leg.

Ten months ago, Arsenal and Bayern Munich staged a spectacular Champions League final at Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu, when the Gunners beat the Bundesliga giants by two goals to snatch the Champions League trophy. In the first leg of the competition at the Emirates Stadium, Bayern completed revenge 1-0 away, but fortunately, the defending champion still has a chance to turn the tables away, but the difficulty is really not small.

Bayern's failure to qualify for the Champions League last year was largely related to Ribery's absence and Robben's loneliness. On this trip to London, the "Robery" duo can finally make their debut against their sworn enemies. Although Ribery's performance in the first leg was not eye-catching, he was able to put a lot of pressure on Arsenal when he was there; Bayern's terrifying wings tipped the scales of victory in favor of the Germans, and Arsenal fell short in the face of Bayern's onslaught.

The defeat at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg pushed Inter to the brink of a corner, but it is undeniable that it has nothing to do with Arsenal's more than a month of devilish fixtures. After the break, Arsenal are bound to storm Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. Although there are not many examples of a 1-0 defeat at home in the first leg and a comeback away leg in the second leg, Arsenal are not without the possibility of a miracle. First of all, the chronic problems in Bayern's defense remain unresolved; Secondly, Arsenal's results on the road this season are still very good.

"I believe we can do it, we have to." With a trip to Munich, Arsene Wenger is full of confidence: "My players are mature and have a lot of professional experience, they know what we need. ”

'To win we have to score and it's a 180-minute contest where we lost in the first 90 minutes but we were able to win back. And our confidence comes from our performance in the first leg, which will be difficult, but we have full confidence. As for the odds, that's not taken into account, we just believe we're going to score, we're going to turn the tables and we're going to get through. Xiao Qing vowed that this time he went to Munich to win Arsenal. Now we are only thinking about Bayern Munich and we are focused on that and we are convinced that we can do it. ”

'We're going to win the game, I'm confident about that. We need to beat Bayern Munich now and stay in the Champions League and then we will come back to the league and win the league. This season is important for us and we have to win at this time, everyone has seen our results and we don't want to leave any regrets. We may be able to achieve great results this season and we can't leave the Champions League too early. We can qualify, even though we know it's not going to be easy. But we'll work on it and then we'll see what happens. Xiao Qing is full of confidence, and that's because the Arsenal players are looking forward to the game and they want to create brilliance.

Of course, while Arsenal are confident they can come back from home, Arsenal's difficulties are obvious to all, not only because Bayern have a strong home record in the Champions League, but also because there are few examples of Champions League defeats at home in the first leg and still come back away - only one team in 55-year history has ever turned the tables in the current Arsenal situation.

In the knockout rounds of the Champions League, teams that have suffered defeats in the first leg have made more than two dozen comebacks to advance to the next stage, with only one of them coming from a home defeat in the first leg, which was in the semi-finals when Ajax eliminated Panathinaikos in 1995-96.

Arsenal are looking to become only the second team in Champions League history to progress after a home defeat. They will be hoping to create more brilliance this season, although that is not what Arsenal want. Arsenal are eager to make history, but more so because they are now cornered.

The clash at the Allianz Arena will not be an easy one, and the Gunners are prepared for a tough one; In the first leg, Arsenal did not take advantage of their chances, they were beaten by Bayern, they repeatedly squandered the opportunity to score, and now Arsenal are in this situation.

The Gunners will redeem themselves, and although Arsenal did not play very well in the first leg, and although it now looks like the success rate of a Jedi counter-attack is really small in terms of history, Arsenal don't care about that. Xiao Qing has always believed that records will be broken, and those records are only in the past tense; What Xiao Qing has to do now is to help the team break history and win the game, and Arsenal are not willing to be eliminated at this time.

This season will be a history-making and glorious season for Arsenal and they cannot afford to have regrets in this season and they will not accept the loss of their most important Champions League honours.

It is natural that Bayern wants to take revenge on Arsenal, and it is true that no team can successfully defend the title since the Champions League was restructured; But these Xiao Qing don't care, because Xiao Qing and his Arsenal are looking forward, they are constantly creating history and miracles, they believe that they will achieve great success in this season, and they will achieve even more crazy victories!

The win over Manchester City was a shot in the arm for Arsenal and the Gunners were delighted to have a big win ahead of their trip to Munich, one that saw them reach the FA Cup final. The victory in this game was very exciting, not only because they beat Manchester City, but also because they were a little closer to a championship title; This is undoubtedly good news for Arsenal, who are off to a good start by beating Manchester City to reach the FA Cup final, and Arsenal will be looking to move on at this point in their game, winning the game at the Allianz Arena and putting on a comeback from the Jedi Strike.

Xiao Qing is no stranger to Allianz Arena, he played here, and he also helped Hoffenheim win the incredible victory over Bayern to win the halfway championship here! The Allianz Arena is a blessed place for Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing believes that when he returns here again, he will help the team to win, and he believes that he can help Arsenal take the victory to success!
