For Rennes' team, the equation is no stranger at all,

Because he had just come to Europe before, he went to Rennes for a tryout, stayed for a week and then was rejected.

Although he didn't care much about it now,

But soon, some football media discovered the news and reported it one after another.

And Rennes' head coach Lamouci recently met a reporter who asked this question in an interview.

Coach Ramucci reacted in a normal way, saying: "I know the lad and I congratulate him on playing well in the Premier League, which should be the dream of many young players. It is not easy for him to do this. ”

'I don't really know if he's tried out with us before. It could be a miscommunication, I'll check with the club when I get back. ”

'Against Arsenal, we'll be ready for sure. I'm looking forward to playing against the best teams in the Premier League in the Europa League. ”

Although the reaction of the opposing coach was very flat, many fans who watched the excitement were still looking forward to this game.

However, before playing the 1/16 finals of the Europa League,

Arsenal have four more Premier League games to play, against West Ham United, Crystal Palace, Brighton & Hove Albion and Burnley.

Among them, the games against Crystal Palace, Brighton and Burnley will be tough. Because it's now the end of the season, these three teams are only three points away from the relegation zone!

These relegation teams have always been hard-working, and they will do everything they can to succeed in relegation, and after playing a game with them, they will have to shed their skin if they don't die.

Of course, the kind of relegation team that is in turmoil will be scattered and vulnerable.

......

Because Arsenal, West Ham United, and Crystal Palace are all football clubs in the same city,

So the match between them, also known as the London Derby.

After that, Arsenal in these four rounds of competition,

They only won the first two rounds, winning 0-2, 3-2 against Burnley and West Ham United.

But in the next two rounds of the game,

Arsenal have suffered injuries in their squad, with left wing-back Monreal suspended due to injury.

So Klasinac, who has been on the bench, can only be put into the starting line-up.

However, it is not for nothing that Krasinac can be squeezed on the bench by Monreal,

He plays full-back, and his defense is basically based on his body and fouls.

Perhaps Krasinac will have no problem playing at wing-back because he can cross and he has a centre-back and a midfielder behind him to help with the defence.

However, once he plays full-back, his shortcomings of slow pace and lack of defensive awareness are magnified.

Unfortunately, there was no one on the Arsenal bench to use, and manager Arsene Wenger had to play Krasinac at full-back.

As a result, Arsenal's defense really had problems, and in the end they failed to win Brighton and Crystal Palace, with one draw and one loss in the two games, with the score of 0:0 and 1:2!

Fortunately in the midst of misfortune, other opponents in the Premier League race for the top four have also been in turmoil amid internal friction.

Only Tottenham Hotspur won all the way up to third place.

As a result, after 28 rounds of matches in the Premier League, the standings have changed drastically -

3rd, Tottenham Hotspur, 18 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses

4th, Arsenal, 17 wins, 5 draws, 6 losses

5th, Manchester United, 16 wins, 7 draws, 5 losses

Sixth, Chelsea, 16 wins, 5 draws, 7 losses

......

The situation in the race for the fourth place has become chaotic.

Manchester United's form has also picked up, and they are close behind fourth-placed Arsenal.

As a result, the difference between the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th rankings is very small, and only one more win is needed to squeeze the three opponents down.

Unfortunately, Arsenal did not have time to adjust their form, and then ushered in the Europa League knockout round.

March 2.

In the first leg, Arsenal went to the Larian Road Stadium in Rennes City in Ligue 1.

At the beginning of the game,

The state of the whole Arsenal team is a bit bad, because the continuous play has led to a slight decline in fitness.

However, with a wealth of experience in the height of the game, the Arsenal midfielder controlled the tempo of the game.

The equation went up to the forward midfield position, and made a pass with the retreating Iwobi,

He ran straight to the middle with the ball, jumped lightly at his feet, and once again dodged the opponent's sliding tackle to grab it.

With 46 per cent possession proficiency, Equation still dares to dribble the ball at his feet against Ligue 1 opponents.

When the short pass penetrated into the top of the opponent's right arc, the equation suddenly threw a cold arrow and aimed at the bottom right corner of the goal to kick a heavy artillery shot!

This long-range shot was powerful and heavy, passed through the feet of the defenders, and crashed into the goal!!

Goalkeeper Gobick's vision was blocked, and he fell to the ground late,

Soccer balls flew past his fingertips,

Then there was a bang, and it hit the right post of the goal!

The audience suddenly exclaimed!

The equation was a little disappointed, but it was too late to entangle, so I quickly retreated.

It's still early, one attack can't be achieved, and they can organize another attack.

Before the clock had passed three minutes, Rennes' two midfielders, Andre and Grenier, made a mistake while passing the ball.

Papastathopoulos came up and snatched the ball and then passed it to the Equation to attack.

Equation found Saka in front of him with a straight kick in midfield, as precise as a scalpel.

Bukayo Saka kept the ball and found Aubameyang in the box with a cross over the top.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang stretches his body, jumps sideways, and shoots decisively into the air!!

The soccer ball crashed into the net in an instant!!

Such a smooth coordination made Rennes' players not react at all!

Rennes' defense was as fast as an avalanche.

however

The referee suddenly raised his hand and signaled that the goal was offside!

Aubameyang was about to run excitedly towards the corner area, but he was stunned when he saw the referee's action.

Subsequently, the Arsenal players were also unconvinced, and hurried to the referee to theorize.

"How can such a beautiful organization score be offside???"

However, the referee ignored it and decisively showed Papastathopoulos a yellow card for his fierce rhetoric.

Arsenal's side suddenly felt incredulous, and felt that this referee was too exaggerated!

The equation wants to stop talking, and I kind of want to persuade my teammates to calm down.

But after seeing the referee show the yellow card, I also felt speechless.

The ball was given to the Rennes team,

The game resumes.

However, Arsenal appeared to have been affected by the decision, with several of their team-mates out of the game.

Mustafi didn't have time to come back from the front, and the right side was empty in an instant.

Rennes striker, Ben Arfa took the opportunity to dribble the ball up, and without any interference, easily sent a pass into the box with a good amount of advance.

Papastathopoulos started slowly, and his opponent Sal quickly stepped forward from him,

He was in a hurry, so he could only reach out and pull Sal down to the line of the penalty area!

"Beep-"

The referee blew the whistle, dug it in his trouser pocket and showed Papastathopoulos a yellow card again.

Two yellows turn into one red!

Arsenal sent off!!

All Arsenal fans who watched this game felt incredible,

It's only been eighteen minutes, and Arsenal are going to play one less??

However, the situation can get worse,

The opponent Borejöud took a free-kick in front of the goal, and the football flew through the crack in the human wall into the goal.

The score is 1:0!!

Rennes took the lead in the scoring!!
