528 Sprint to the end

After Arsenal advanced to the last four of the Champions League, the top four teams of this season's Champions League have been released.

AC Milan from Italy.

Barcelona and Villarreal from Spain.

And Arsenal from England!

Two days later, after the UEFA Cup match, the entire Arsenal squad gathered after training to watch the draw live.

There is no doubt that AC Milan and Barcelona are strong rivals in the last four, and Arsenal may also be soft persimmons in the eyes of these two giants.

To the excitement of all Arsenal fans and players, Arsenal avoided AC Milan and Barcelona and drew a draw: Villarreal!

After the draw ended, the "Sun" immediately released a high-profile report: the road to France has been paved for the arsenal!

This season's Champions League final will be held in France, and after Arsenal drew Villarreal, the outside world basically believes that Arsenal will advance to this season's Champions League final!

All the thoughts were on the Champions League in midweek, and the Arsenal players didn't wake up until the weekend: the opponents in the 33rd round were Manchester United!

They want to be a guest at Old Trafford.

Arsenal came to Old Trafford this time really tired, Ferguson was very low-key before the game, and generously congratulated Arsenal on advancing to the Champions League semi-finals, saying that the representative teams participating in the Champions League in the Premier League this season are not in good shape or are eliminated early for other reasons, and Arsenal can represent England to reach the Champions League semi-finals, which is to win glory for English football.

However, when Arsenal actually arrived at Old Trafford and started playing Manchester United, Manchester United's attack was like crazy!

Standing on the sidelines to supervise the battle, Ferguson's calm and majestic expression. It's a big heart that is beating strongly!

Manchester United has entered a new rebuilding period since David Beckham.

One step at a time, Ferguson took it one step at a time. Patiently cultivating a new generation of Red Devils. From last season's Premier League trough to this season's comeback, even if the league title has nothing to do with Manchester United, Manchester United's progress cannot be ignored.

Ferguson has his sights set on next season, but that doesn't mean he'll be relaxed after qualifying for the Champions League this season.

The old and spicy Ferguson is watching the fire, he knows that although Arsenal seems to be in full swing, it is actually extremely vulnerable, especially in the case of double-line operations, Arsenal with a thin lineup is already strong in the middle!

Manchester United have been out of European competition in the first half of the season. They were eliminated in the group stage and did not even get a chance to move to the League Cup in third place.

In other words, the second half of the season will distract them with the FA Cup at most, and it will still be mainly league-oriented.

The Red Devils have grown rapidly in a relatively relaxed and less stressful environment, especially towards the end of the season, and their overall fitness is very good!

Arsenal may have an advantage in individual speed, but in terms of overall fitness, they certainly can't claim to have a clear advantage over Manchester United, or even the BIG4 group.

In the second half of the season, Arsenal has more key games, and the physical consumption is naturally greater, playing opponents like Real Madrid and Juventus. Who dares to slack off?

Who would dare to take it lightly and think that victory is in their hands?

Arsenal, who had just played Juventus in midweek, had left Juventus in a cage like a trapped beast in possession. But it also comes at a huge physical cost.

In this game, Manchester United in the rising period played extremely unrestrained, almost from the beginning of the game to the limit of the rhythm of the game, the whole Arsenal team was shaken apart by Manchester United's crazy rhythm impact, the defensive end was full of dangers, and it was difficult to connect the group when attacking, resulting in the whole game being passive.

Under the gaze of Ferguson's majestic gaze, the Red Devils will completely collapse Arsenal's defense with a devastating momentum!

In the 61st minute of the second half, when Senderos brought down Ruud van Nistelrooy in the penalty area and was blown a penalty by the referee, Wenger shook his head slightly on the sidelines, he knew that the game was over, today Qin Xiong and Henry did not play to the speed advantage, the more times they played against Manchester United, Manchester United has improved whether it is to improve the defense or the local marking of the Qin Xiong-Henry combination.

Qin Xiong and Henry, who are in good condition and have good physical fitness, may be able to stage a plot of one or two people joining forces to turn the tide with the support of their teammates.

But today, Qin Xiong has to take the initiative to participate in defense to relieve the pressure of defense, and if he wants to defend while riding alone, how can it be so easy?

After Ruud van Nistelrooy scored the penalty into Arsenal's goal, the score became 2:0.

Ferguson finally smiled on the sidelines, and this smile seemed to release the grievances and grievances accumulated in the past three years!

A new generation of Red Devils has officially set sail!

Just start with beating Arsenal, the king of England who won two consecutive titles!

When the moment of the end of the game came, the Arsenal generals, including Qin Xiong, silently walked to the players' tunnel.

They can't talk about how unwilling they are, the gap between the BIG4 groups is not obvious, today is away from home and the physical strength is not as good as the opponent, and Arsenal must also admit that they have not prepared well for the game against Manchester United in the past week!

Completely immersed in anticipation and surprise, looking forward to a good result in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Juventus, and pleasantly surprised that the team lived up to expectations and made new history.

Even after the Champions League match, they are more concerned about who their semi-final opponent will be, and they are looking forward to standing on the stage of the Champions League final!

The defeat to Manchester United was not an accident or a clear conscience, but it was not the end of the world either.

With five league games remaining, Chelsea beat West Ham United 4-1 at home in the same round to cut the gap on Arsenal to three points.

The defeat at Old Trafford was a wake-up call for Arsenal, like pouring cold water on their heads.

The league isn't over yet!

The championship is not yet in hand!

Arsenal, who voluntarily gave up the League Cup and FA Cup this season, has only gone all out in the league and the Champions League.

And the league and the Champions League, only the league can be guaranteed, not the Champions League!

There are too many fortuitous factors in the Champions League, and the unpredictability is too strong.

If you want to give up, you can only give up the Champions League to fight for the league title.

Arsenal certainly can't do that.

Having finally created a new history for the club in the Champions League, and at the same time has already set a great record in the Champions League, after all, there are only two games left before the final, and it is time to give up the Champions League?

There is only one choice left for them: to sprint to the end!

Was it a success or a failure?

Do everything you can to get to the end!

It doesn't matter if he succeeds or fails! (To be continued......)
