Chapter 52: Three-Front Operations

This penalty,

The equation is with the element of gambling in it,

Fortunately, 20 percent of the heavy artillery attack made a difference.

No mistakes in the penalty!

The equation silently breathed a sigh of relief,

Thinking that I will add one more penalty to my training in the future, it is really unreliable if I rely on luck every time.

Then in the next second, the academy players behind him rushed up happily and grabbed him to celebrate.

At this time, the whole stadium fell silent!

The home fans fell silent as they watched the Arsenal players celebrate on the pitch.

Blackpool were unable to pull off an upset draw with the Premier League side.

There is still an unbridgeable gap between the League One team and the Premier League team!

Blackpool fans are a bit disappointed but will continue to support the team for 10 years. Life is a long road, and you always need to have a belief to accompany you, no matter the result......

Final score,

Blackpool 1:2 Arsenal

Arsenal walked away with the win and qualified for the fourth round of the FA Cup.

For the penalty win of the equation, the media's evaluation is that his form has picked up and finally broken the goal drought.

For a player in the midfield position, it is normal for a league to not score goals, which can be described by the outside world as a goal drought, which shows that everyone has high expectations for him.

And winning this game can be regarded as a happy worry for Arsenal.

If it really turns into a three-front battle, I don't know what the result will be.

Perhaps the best outcome is that Arsenal will have one more option to avoid making this season a wasted ......

By January 12th,

Round 22 of the Premier League.

In the match against Southampton, Equation was trampled on his toe by his opponent and is expected to be out for about 10 days after examination.

There is no way,

Then, in the 23rd round of the Premier League's north London derby, the equation was only forced to miss.

Tottenham have been on good momentum lately and are fifth in the table, just one point off Arsenal!

However, the two sides exchanged blanks in this game, only getting five yellow cards, and the suspense of the Premier League for the fourth place was retained.

After the match against Tottenham, Arsenal only had one strong match left in the rest of the league schedule.

That was on 12 May, the final Premier League game against Chelsea.

This match is undoubtedly the focus of the battle, and it will definitely be hard to get a ticket.

But until then, Arsenal must not lose any league game, otherwise they will lose the initiative in the race for the top four early.

In this situation where the race for the top four is in a heated situation,

Who knew that Arsenal's Academy players were in excellent form, winning an FA Cup knockout game on 26 January and progressing to the third round.

So, when the time came to February,

Arsenal have inevitably found themselves in a three-front situation.

In the end, whether they succeed or fail depends on whether they can fight their way out in the last two months......

On January 29,

The whole Arsenal team flew to the Apennine Peninsula.

After 1 hour and 57 minutes of flight, the plane landed smoothly at the international airport in the city of Milan.

The purpose of Arsenal's trip is to play the Europa League 1/16 final with AC Milan on February 1. Play away first, then home.

There is no doubt that the Europa League is Arsenal's most important goal this season and there is no room for error.

Because there is an away goal rule,

Arsenal must score in the first leg or wait until the second leg to return to home.

AC Milan only need to score one away goal, while Arsenal must score two more home goals to progress.

The last time the two teams met was the last time, in the Europa League 1/8 final in March 2018, Arsenal defeated AC Milan 5-1 on aggregate.

But in the semi-finals, Arsenal lost to Atletico Madrid. This year, Arsenal regrouped, but they didn't expect to meet AC Milan again......

But unlike last time, this time because of AC Milan's Brother Li and Arsenal's equation, the nature of the game between the two sides has some different elements.

Many fans at home and abroad are following this game to see what kind of sparks the two teams can collide with.

On this day, a press conference was held before the game.

For the first time, Equation arrived on the scene to be interviewed with the head coach Professor Arsene Wenger.

After the reporters at the scene saw the equation, they were instantly excited, they didn't expect to have this good opportunity!

You must know that this is the first time that Equation has been publicly interviewed by the media!

These journalists have dreamed of interviewing him for a long time!

Now that there is such a good opportunity, the reporters sitting below hurriedly raised their hands.

The equation was quite calm, originally he didn't want to come out for an interview. But after listening to Professor Wenger's advice, he also felt that it would be bad if he did not accept media interviews all the time.

One day, if you want to get in touch with these journalists and media, there is no need to deliberately avoid these people.

So, he came to the press conference with the head coach.

He looked at the excited reporters in the stands, hesitated, and then asked a reporter from a London newspaper to ask the first question.

"Hello Fang, it's a pleasure to see you here, the question I want to ask is, now that the winter window is about to close, but Arsenal have not been rumored yet, does that mean you have no plans to bring in reinforcements at all?"

Hearing this question from a London correspondent,

Equation's heart sank slightly, and Professor Wenger next to him also fell silent.

Well, this is the vampire Kroenke really doesn't behave, and he actually doesn't bring in new signings at the most critical moment of the fourth battle now!

It's true that Arsenal live or die!

The equation has long been angry about this,

But certainly not to express their anger publicly, relieved,

Equation turned into the microphone and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know what great plans the respected Mr. Kroenke will have, so I can't answer this question." ”

The London reporter smiled indifferently and said: "Well, it seems that this question has to be asked only to Mr. Kroenke." By the way, your contract renewal should go well, right? ”

The equation paused before answering, "If nothing else......

After saying this, the equation didn't give the reporter a chance to speak, and skillfully named the next reporter to ask a question.

The reporter of the Milan sports newspaper stood up and asked: "Hello Fang, I would like to ask, is it true that there are rumors that you may join a club in Milan City, and that your agent has already been seen contacting the other party's top management?" ”

The reporters present looked at the parties in unison.

Equation thought for a moment and replied: "I don't know, my agent also has other players who have signed to play in Serie A, maybe he has something else to do here." ”

Seeing that the equation did not deny,

The reporters present were all dazzled, and since they did not deny it, they had room to play their pen......
