As the time passed through the end of February, it entered the beginning of March.

Not only has the Champions League entered a more intense and exciting knockout round, but the league has also entered a white-hot stage of competition for points.

Now the Premier League has gone through 28 rounds, and the first place is Manchester City, the second is Arsenal, the third is Liverpool, the fourth is Manchester United, and the fifth is Chelsea.

Five teams, but not one echelon.

There is a two-point gap between Manchester City and Arsenal, while a twelve-point gap between Liverpool and Arsenal is just six points clear of Chelsea.

To put it simply, Arsenal and Manchester City are competing for the title, while the bottom three are vying for a Champions League spot.

The competition for the top four is extremely fierce, and it's not just the top four.

After Arsenal won three Champions Leagues, the Premier League is now the world's number one league, and the attention is very high.

A high level of attention also means that Premier League clubs can earn more broadcast fees and tickets, and more income for teams also means higher income for players.

Team owners who are not in the Premier League are philanthropists.

The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the bustle of the world is for profit.

This world is material, and it is not a few wolf team slogans that can make a company bigger and stronger.

The current strength of the Premier League is due to the fact that a large number of top players are now gathered in the Premier League, and a large number of top players are gathered in the Premier League, mainly because of the high salaries in the Premier League.

At the same time, the high salaries of Premier League clubs are due to the fact that the broadcast fees of the Premier League are very high now, and if you don't pay players high salaries, players will go to other leagues.

High salaries attract better players, better players to increase the influence of the Premier League, and after the influence increases, more broadcast shares, and then share a part of the players, and at the same time, because they can make money, more capital is willing to enter the Premier League to invest.

In the past two years, the strength of the middle and lower teams of the Premier League has also been rising at a visible rate, and there are various arms races between each other, frantically going to other leagues to poach people, trying to get a higher ranking in the Premier League.

Against this backdrop, competition is fierce throughout the Premier League.

On March 4, in the 29th round of the Premier League, Arsenal hosted Newcastle.

Newcastle is a club founded in 1882, and its ancestors are also arrogant.

Having won four English top-flight titles and six FA Cups, Ruud Gullit has been in charge of the club before.

Even in the first half of the season, Newcastle had a good result, ranking seventh in the Premier League in the first thirteen rounds.

This is a strong result, after all, Manchester United was fifth in the league at the time, but in November last year, Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan had a conflict with the management and finally resigned in anger, and at the same time, Newcastle owner Ashley was also ready to sell Newcastle because of financial problems.

The head coach left four months ago, and the boss wanted to run away again.

As a result, Newcastle's results have been in an avalanche and have now slipped to 16th in the league.

Playing this kind of team, even if the competition in the Premier League is extremely fierce this year, Arsenal still has no pressure, and in the end, with Ronaldo's brace, Arsenal beat Newcastle 2-0 at home.

The Premier League's schedule gets denser the further back on.

Three days after playing for Newcastle, Arsenal welcomed Burnley in the FA Cup quarter-finals and Roma in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 in quick succession.

The schedule is intense, but the pressure is not great.

Burnley are not a strong team, while Roma are the result of Arsenal's 3-1 win away from home in the first leg.

With three away goals, Arsenal is not Barcelona's tactical style of overemphasizing passing and control, and once you can't control the ball, it will collapse.

Two games, one 3-0 and one 1-0.

FA Cup quarter-finals!

The Champions League is also in the quarter-finals!

This year's Arsenal began to work on multiple fronts!

The effect is also very good, but this is not what makes Chen Mo the happiest, what makes Chen Mo the happiest is the 30th round of the Premier League, Manchester City was defeated by Tottenham at home!

Because of this game, Arsenal managed to grab the top spot in the league!

To be honest, Chen Mo has won full Champions League honors and personal honors in recent years, but in fact, he hasn't tasted the top of the Premier League for a long time.

No way, Arsenal didn't have much money before, and they couldn't support multi-front operations at all, but this year is different!

Champions League, FA Cup, EFL Cup, League, plus the Club World Cup and the Community Shield at the start of the season.

Arsenal have a chance to sprint for a six-time title this year!

Six crowns!

In the entire history of football, only Bayern and Barcelona have reached this height!

Even Barcelona in this timeline has not yet achieved the six crowns, and the whole Arsenal team is very excited, but soon, with the draw for the quarterfinals of the Champions League, the whole Arsenal team is serious.

Even Chen Mo, who has always been optimistic, rarely lost any smile on his face after seeing the lottery.

08 to 09 season, Champions League quarterfinals, Arsenal VS Barcelona!

To be honest, of all the teams in this Champions League, Chen Mo wants to touch Barcelona the most, and at the same time, he feels that Barcelona is the most difficult to play.

No way, Barcelona are too strong.

In the round of 16, Barcelona defeated the French champion Lyon 10-0 in two legs, and at the same time in La Liga, Barcelona also beat 10-0 in two legs, sending Real Madrid two five-finger mountains.

This peak dream three Barcelona, in Chen Mo's eyes, is actually the perfect team.

Forwards: Pedro, Villa, Messi.

Midfielder: Habaib.

Defenders: Abidal, Pique, Puyol, Alves.

This lineup, perfect.

The midfielder can compete for the first place in history, or even the first midfield combination in history.

On the front line, Villa at his peak can compete for the first place in the world in the Barcelona system, and the twenty-two-year-old Messila can't pull it, although Pedro is a little smaller, but in fact, his role in Dream Three Barcelona is a bit similar to that of Little Spider as for Argentina.

The strength is not too strong, but the running is very active, which can not only drive the defenders, help his teammates pull space, but also retreat to a deeper position, allowing Messi to fully devote himself to the offensive end.

Barcelona's midfield, invincible.

The back line, too, is world-class.

And in Chen Mo's eyes, the strength of players is actually only one aspect.

Strictly speaking, if you only talk about individual quality, Yaya Toure last season was clearly better than Busquets now, but that's the crux of the matter.

All the players in this Barcelona team are the most suitable players to play passing, and Guardiola is the coach with the deepest understanding of passing!

From the strength of the players, to the style of the players, to the coaching ability, this Barcelona team can be said to be impeccable!

It's very stressful.

After the draw results came out, Chen Mo could clearly feel that the atmosphere of the whole team had been pressed down a little.

Not only because Barcelona are strong, but also because Arsenal met Barcelona in the quarter-finals.

In fact, most of the draw ceremonies for the Champions League are operated in the dark.

Of course, most of the time, this black-box operation is not to support a certain team, but to support a certain league, or suppress a certain league.

Very simple logic, high merit covers the master.

The Champions League is the same as the emperors of ancient times.

The Champions League itself does not create any wealth, nor does it participate in any labor, everything that their internal employees and leaders rely on, all their sources of income and rights, are all in the name of the Champions League.

And how did the name of the Champions League hold up?

Relying on the teams of the five major leagues, this is the problem.

Arsenal have won the Champions League for two years, and now the Premier League is almost as hot as the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 combined, if Arsenal is allowed to win the Champions League again, or let Arsenal meet Premier League teams like Manchester City in the Champions League final.

At that time, the influence of the Champions League will even be overshadowed by the Premier League, and at that time, will the FA and the owners of Premier League clubs still be willing to let the Champions League eat their cake, or let the leaders of the Champions League be the ones who cut the cake?

This is not alarmist, in the original timeline, after the influence of Barcelona and Real Madrid reached its peak, they also wanted to bypass the Champions League and pull up Manchester United, Liverpool, Milan and other giants such as Juventus to establish the European Super League.

This European Super League, to put it bluntly, is the one who wants to bypass the Champions League and cut the cake by himself.

This is a fundamental interest, and it is impossible for the officials of the Champions League to agree, but for the Champions League, they need the flow of the Premier League and dare not be too ruthless, so the means of suppression is to let the major giants of the Premier League collide with the giants of other leagues in advance, and try to avoid the appearance of two clubs in the same league in the Champions League final again.

Arsenal's opponent is Barcelona, while Manchester City's opponent is Liverpool.

It's clear that the Champions League wants to suppress the Premier League!

In such a somewhat oppressive atmosphere, the time slowly came to mid-April.

With the first spring rain in London falling, Arsenal is also about to face Dream Three Barcelona at home!
