In the waiting hall, many fans who came to see him off held slogans, wishing Qin Xiong better results in Europe.

When it was time for him to leave, he kissed Sylvia goodbye in public, then waved to his teammates who had come to see him off, as well as fans separated by bodyguards in the distance.

Zheng Zhi and other Chinese players went to a café in the city after bidding farewell to Qin Xiong, where Freddie sat and waited for them.

Although Freddie does not have player resources in Europe, he has contacts with many teams, at least he can speak, and it is no problem to hand in a letter of recommendation, so as long as Zheng Zhi and they are determined to play in Europe, Freddie can more or less help

After returning to London after a long journey, Qin Xiong rested peacefully in his apartment, stepping into April, and the final stage of the championship battle has begun.

On 2 April, most of Arsenal's squad had just returned from the national team, but Arsene Wenger still had to use his squad to face the Premier League.

In Highbury, they welcomed Norwich, who are under relegation pressure despite their lack of strength, and are third from bottom in the table, with a point that could be a lifesaver, and their will and determination to resist should not be underestimated.

Arsenal dragged their tired physical state to engage in a fierce battle with their opponents.

Arsene Wenger was worried on the sidelines, not too worried about the game, but afraid that another player would be injured, and after this league game, the next thing is the Champions League quarter-final with Chelsea!

When Arsenal established a 4-1 lead in the 60th minute of the second half, Arsene Wenger made a substitution, Thierry Henry. Qin Xiong. Pire. All of them!

Qin Xiong, who played a pass and a shot in the game, still continued to be in a hot state, and he and the coaching staff knew that what was bothering Qin Xiong now was only his physical condition, and there was no problem with his competitive state and his own strength.

Arsenal eventually won 5-1 at home to return to the top of the table.

Two hours later, Chelsea had all three points at Southampton and Chelsea were once again in the lead.

The excitement of the London duo's fight for the Premier League title has exceeded everyone's imagination!

Don't make a mistake!

No one can make a mistake!

Otherwise, it will be possible to give away the champion!

After a full day of rest, Arsenal began to prepare for the Champions League.

The first leg of the quarter-finals will be played first in Highbury.

Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho engaged in a-for-tat war of words.

"Arsenal aren't just competing for titles. At the same time, they are showing the world that there is a more glamorous side of football, and Chelsea, even if they are successful, they are not loved by most fans, and their football is boring in my eyes. ”

'Arsene Wenger was always talking about Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea, he was like a voyeur with a telescope in his own home to peek into other people's homes, and he wasn't in a position to comment on my team. The truth is that the top team in the Premier League is Chelsea and Arsenal are playing beautifully. They will be the best of the underdogs, and Chelsea will be aiming for victory and the title, and as we lift the trophy, they can soak up the beautiful praise and comfort themselves. ”

The Sun has always been known for its grandstanding, and they like to make eye-catching headlines and covers, not to mention the content, and the popularity of the third page girl is the main foundation of the Sun's best-selling newspaper.

On the eve of the Arsenal-Chelsea clash with Chelsea, the cover of the sports edition of The Sun was a full-page poster declaring war!

A meeting between two of England's strongest teams this season.

Fierce battle in London!

The left half of the cover shows the Arsenal players side-to-right.

The order is Henry, Vieira, Qin Xiong, Pire, Ljungberg

The right half is the Chelsea player side-to-left.

The order is Frank Lampard, John Terry, Duff, Makelele, Joe Cole

No player in the modern era has been able to lead the team to the throne on his own.

Even Zidane, who is known as the third goal king, can't do it, otherwise what will be staged at the Bernabeu will not be a script of the fall of the Galactic Battleship.

The trend of elite grouping of strong teams is becoming more and more obvious, and superstars are surrounded by a group of powerful players to form the most powerful green shadow army!

After more than half a season, Qin Xiong's status and role at Arsenal have increased dramatically, and now he has become an indispensable key player in the team.

In the Arsenal Group, Qin Xiong surrounds Henry and Vieira, ranking in the top three.

In fact, it is difficult to quantify which player is the most important, but this ranking of status must take into account the "hard work" of the players, Qin Xiong can surpass Pire, Ljungberg who have worked hard for many years with talent and contribution, and also press Bergkamp on the bench, which has proved that his breakthrough in the Premier League this season is a personal career up.

Arsenal and Chelsea, who are competing for the title in the league at the same time, meet in the Champions League, as if it is a kind of fate, an arrangement for the defending Premier League champions to suppress the new forces within them? Or is Chelsea's rise to be a bloody sacrifice to the king of the home?

It may be a coincidence, maybe UEFA is suppressing the Premier League, or maybe UEFA wants to make the London duo in the Premier League cause more conversation, so that the internal war in the Premier League will also continue in the Champions League, which will definitely increase the selling point of the two strong meets.

On the evening of April 7, Highbury Stadium was packed, and the red and white sea set off a wave of cheering like a tsunami.

Arsenal and Chelsea players entered the stadium together, each looking majestic and full of fighting spirit!

"The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals between Arsenal and Chelsea is about to begin, the two teams are chasing me in the Premier League, and at the same time leaving Manchester United behind them There is a big gap, the Premier League title should only be produced between these two teams, and now the two teams meet again in the Champions League, which undoubtedly deepens the drama of the battle between the two London giants this season, Arsenal is at home today, the only downside is that their defensive stalwart Campbell is on the wall due to injury, and Chelsea has the impact of Robben and Ferreira being absent due to injury, Let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.

Arsenal started 4231.

Goalkeeper: Lehmann.

Defenders: Lauren, Toure, Senderos, Ashley Cole.

Midfielders: Ljungberg, Vieira, Qin Xiong, Silva, Pire.

Striker: Thierry Henry.

Chelsea started 4231.

Goalkeeper: Cech.

Defenders: Carvalho, Terry, Gallas, Hut.

Midfielders: Joe Cole, Makelele, Gudjohnsen, Lampard, Duff.

Forward: Didier Drogba.

Both Arsenal and Chelsea have actually swept the Premier League this season with formations similar to 433! But tactically it certainly has very different effects, and now that the two teams are about to go head-to-head, let's see if Arsenal's beautiful football is more powerful, or Chelsea's utilitarian counter-attack is more deadly. ”

The big war is on the verge of breaking out! (To be continued......)
