Chapter 204: Frank Lampard's reaction

Equation soon flew back to London, and as soon as he got out of the airport, he was surrounded by countless flashing lights.

Many sports reporters have been waiting near the airport for a long time.

Many local fans have also been waiting for a long time.

"Finally, the equation is back! I knew he wasn't going to forget Arsenal! This is our savior. ”

"I've been waiting at the airport for hours just to see this! His return gives us hope for the future. ”

"You can rest assured! He'll cheer up the team when he's back! ”

"It's really exciting to see him illuminated by countless flashing lights! This will always be his home. ”

"Finally back in London and I think it's a turning point for Arsenal! His return is sure to bring victory. ”

Seeing a lot of fans and reporters waiting outside the airport, the equation stopped and took the initiative to wave hello to everyone.

Although it is clear that everyone has been waiting here for a long time, this is not a place where you can be interviewed, and other people's airports are still operating normally.

So after saying hello, he got into the club's car and left here.

Soon, the photo of the equation walking out of the airport spread all over the Internet.

The whole Premier League is talking about it.

Some people think that the regression of the equation could put Arsenal back on track,

There are also people who think that the role of the equation is limited, because after Arsenal's striker Haaland went to Manchester City, Arsenal's attacking power in the front field could not be replenished, and this problem could not be solved by the equation alone.

In short, everyone has their own opinion, which is hotly discussed both online and in reality.

However, since he came back, he has not been publicly interviewed in public.

Every day, he commutes to work as normal to prepare for the 17th game in the Premier League.

Arsenal host Chelsea.

Arsenal have been in poor form this season, having suffered a 4-1 defeat to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup.

At the same time, they have not played well at home, winning only two league games.

Chelsea's recent form has fluctuated, but the team remains in the top five of the Premier League table.

In the last round of the Premier League, Chelsea beat West Ham 3-0 at home, ending a two-game losing streak in the league.

Chelsea's overall team is worth 827.05 million euros, which is higher than Arsenal's 585.95 million euros.

The most important thing is that Chelsea have played well on the road, with three wins, two draws and two defeats in the league.

So, this round is important for both Chelsea and Arsenal.

If Arsenal loses, they drop out of the top four and give up that place to Chelsea.

With the equation back, Arsenal's training routines have become much easier, with manager Mikel Arteta feeling that his players are willing to talk and laugh.

It seems that after the equation returns, everyone has found the backbone.

However, considering that Equation has just returned to Arsenal and it is not clear how Arsenal will play this season, Arteta decided to put Equation on the bench for the time being in the game against Chelsea.

For the manager's decision, the equation is no comment.

It just so happened that he also wanted to see up close from the bench what went wrong with Arsenal's squad.

Because there is an old saying that you don't know the game when you are in the game.

Time flies quickly, on January 3, the 17th round of the Premier League.

In the Premier League's four-key match, Arsenal hosts Chelsea.

In the pre-match press conference, a reporter asked Chelsea manager Frank Lampard whether it would make it more difficult for other teams to fight for the top four now that Arsenal's former champions are back.

Chelsea head coach, Frank Lampard, replied confidently: 'There is more to Arsenal than just one champion, we have a lot of respect for Arsenal's quality, but we are also confident that we have enough to do well at their home turf.'

"We're going to play at our best, give it our all and don't take anyone lightly. I believe Kanter can limit the equation well. We focus on building on our strengths and are ready to take on the challenge. ”

"To win this game, it was our teamwork and our fighting spirit. We were able to do our best in every situation and try to win for the team. ”

Then, when it was mentioned that Chelsea had never won the equation, manager Frank Lampard replied with the same expression:

"Past wins and losses are not indicative of future results. Equation is a great player, but we don't dwell on that. Chelsea have their quality and strategy and we believe we can emerge victorious in the next meeting. We have confidence in ourselves and don't throw in the towel easily. Every game is a new challenge and we will strive for the best. ”

Arteta next to him couldn't help but look at Lampard a few more times,

Thinking that he Lampard can say these words with a blank face, it is indeed a bit of a stake.

I just don't know if Frank Lampard would have been able to show such composure if he had been asked to attend today's pre-match press conference.

Arteta then also gave a pre-match interview.

However, because of the previous criticism from the outside world, Arteta did not have much interest in answering reporters' questions.

The pre-match press conference ended quickly.

soon

The competition has officially begun.

Because of the return of the equation, Arsenal's home fans are full of anticipation, and many fans have returned to the stadium to support.

The game was in full swing, with the two sides going back and forth, fighting for every possession.

Chelsea were the first to attack. After receiving the ball, Christian Pulisic decisively opted to cut inside in the face of Arsenal's defence. The ball sped across the pitch and headed straight for the goal.

Thankfully, Leno reacted quickly and made a flying save to keep the ball out of the line.

However, Arsenal's defence did not stop there.

After the ball was blocked, Timo Werner quickly followed up and was ready to shoot from the spot, but Gabriel fought back and was well positioned to keep out Werner's shot and nip the danger.

On the bench, Equation was almost surprised to his feet, and if the goal was conceded, Arsenal would be dangerous at home.

Xhaka next to him also felt palpitations.

The equation then analyzed: "This Werner, his ability to find opportunities is really there, and he can also run and pull the defense, making our defence a little passive. (End of chapter)
