Chapter Ninety-Four, Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger!
Wigan Athletic, who had lifted the FA Cup at Wembley just a few days earlier, was in full swing of confidence.
Meanwhile.
The contrast between winning the FA Cup and struggling to relegate in the league has left Wigan Athletic's players feeling a little humiliated.
Stimulated by the championship trophy, the players of this team have a sense of "we shouldn't be in this position".
So.
After Martinez's words fell.
Wigan Athletic's captain, the main centre-back, and a homegrown player who has been trained in Wigan Athletic's academy, Boyce, immediately stood up and said loudly: "Our opponents may be thinking about the Premier League title now, damn it!" I hate relegation, I don't want to play in the Championship! We've just won the FA Cup, we're going to stay in the Premier League, even if it's hard, I'm going to stay in the Premier League! ”
"We're going to stay in the Premier League!!"
Wigan Athletic's players collectively chanted.
Maybe Arsenal are looking forward to the title,
But Wigan Athletic are fighting for relegation, they have to fight hard!!
Maybe compared to other relegation teams.
Wigan Athletic have added some other motivation.
Compared to the warmth of the away team's dressing room.
On this side of the home dressing room.
The atmosphere was not so enthusiastic.
Arsene Wenger emphasised tactical discipline and the need to pay attention to the opposition's counter-attacks, reminding his players to score goals as soon as possible and break the opponent's will to resist.
Besides.
He didn't give any bloody speeches.
Because when facing an opponent like Wigan Athletic, Arsenal's players are too emotional and it doesn't do the game any good.
Their book strength is overwhelming.
They're still playing on their home turf.
You just need to keep a cool head and give full play to your basic strength.
You can win this opponent safely!
Captain Yelo also didn't give any exciting speeches.
Since exiting the Champions League, Arsenal's young players seem to have grown to a certain extent.
They realised that without Yelo, they would still be the same team that struggled for a top four in the Premier League.
They have no right to be proud.
They are not qualified to be arrogant.
The emotion of arrogance has long been thrown out of the sky by them.
They are also well aware.
If they end up losing the Premier League title in a good situation, they will be the laughing stock of the next 10 or 50 years!
In this game, there is nothing to mobilize.
Everyone knows what the consequences of losing this game will be.
They only accept.
Win!
Inside the Players' Tunnel.
Players from both sides line up.
The camera's lens stays on the face of each of the important players.
The close-up of Ye Luo is extraordinarily long.
"Yelo, he will lead Arsenal to the trophy for the first Premier League title in nine years!"
Duan Xuan's voice sounded.
During the prime time, the audience of the Dragon Kingdom waiting in front of the TV was cheering for Ye Luo.
The time when Arsenal were eliminated from the Champions League was a time when Ye Hei was rampant, and they laughed at Ye Luo wildly, as if it was a shame to be eliminated in the Champions League semi-finals.
But this is also proven from the side.
For Ye Luo.
Don't win the championship.
It's a failure.
Don't win the championship.
will be hacked, ridiculed, ridiculed.
Either the first in the world, or a failure!
Who else can be treated with this kind of treatment?
In fact, the sunspots were in the carnival, and unknowingly, they also elevated Ye Luo's status.
"Come on!"
"Gotta win the championship!!"
"Ye Luo! Come on!! ”
Many people who were once heartbroken by Dragon Country Football and left football for a while, and later because they saw hope from Ye Luo = old fans, they may not know Internet memes, or even know how to surf the Internet.
But at this moment.
They all knew the pressure that Ye Luo was carrying.
There is a group of people, hiding in dark corners, eyeing the tiger, and appearing when they have the opportunity.
In their hearts, they silently cheered for Ye Luo.
"Are you ready?"
Ye Luo, who was standing at the front, looked back at his teammates.
"Ready!"
"Let's go!!"
He turned around and spoke, then stepped forward himself, followed by goalkeeper Szczesny and centre-back Mertesacker.
Everyone didn't say anything more, and walked out of the players' tunnel with the young captain.
"Welcome our lads!"
Today's DJ at the Emirates Stadium was particularly excited.
The fans at the Emirates Stadium responded with even louder cheers.
Arsene Wenger was on the sidelines.
He went to shake Martinez's hand.
Martinez unexpectedly noticed that Wenger's palms were sweaty.
He couldn't help but smile and said: "Mr. Wenger, I didn't expect you to be nervous before a Premier League game. ”
"It's human to be nervous, Robert." Arsene Wenger said, "But I have faith in my lads. ”
"Me too!"
Martinez replied immediately.
The two of them let out a little cruel words to each other.
Then they each went back to the dugout.
on the field.
Players from both sides are already in their respective positions.
The captains on both sides are picking sides.
As it was 12 o'clock in the afternoon, it was a rare sunny day in London today.
Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be a situation of yin and yang fields.
Ye Luo originally wanted to get the right to pick a side, but alas
He guessed the coin and had to get tee-off.
But that's fine.
For Arsenal.
There are also benefits to being the first to tee off.
It's just a pain for Arsenal's goalkeepers and defenders.
They had to endure the sun in the first half.
Of course, that's fair.
Because in the second half, the sun is lower and the sun is more slanted, which is not good for the away team Wigan Athletic - but no one knows how the weather will change in this place of London.
Maybe the second half will be cloudy, and it may not even start to rain.
So it's better to pick early and enjoy it early.
So Boyce was excited after he got the right to pick the edge, which gave him a little bit of a psychological cue.
this game.
Wigan Athletic is in luck!!
"The players on both sides are already in position and the game is about to begin!! The game kicks off at the same time as Manchester United's home game against Swansea City, and if Arsenal win and United don't, Arsenal will be able to secure the Premier League title one round earlier! After nine years, Arsenal have a chance to lift the league trophy again!! The story of all this starts with Yelo's return by Manchester City at the beginning of the season."
"Maybe the most helpless and frustrated right now is not the Manchester United fans, but the Manchester City fans, if Yelo is a Manchester City player, then now in this position, maybe it is Manchester City!"
"But where in this world are there so many ifs?"
On the commentary seat.
Andy Gray, the narrator, was talking loudly.
As his words fell.
The referee blows the whistle.
Race.
It's officially started!!
"It's game on! Arsenal kick off first! Both sides need three points in this game! Victory is needed! Both sides have sent the strongest lineups, but from the analysis of strength, Wigan Athletic, who are playing away, is obviously weaker than Arsenal! So, at the beginning of the game, Wigan Athletic contracted the defense! They put on a 541 formation! At the top of the list is their number one breakup, the fast-moving striker McManaman!! ”
McManaman has scored 11 goals in the Premier League and five in the FA Cup this season, especially in the FA Cup final, and it was his winning goal that helped Wigan Athletic lift the trophy! This is quite a difficult number of goals for a striker of a relegation team! But McManaman is destined to be lonely today, and he will not get much support up front! Because it's destined to be a game where Arsenal will dominate possession!! ”
As the whistle blew.
The commentators on the commentary table were full of words, introducing the starters to the audience and interpreting the tactics of both sides at a very fast speed.
Right now.
on the pitch.
Yelo won the ball in the centre circle, turned and brushed past the defence and burst forward with the ball.
All the narrators shut up.
"Yelo is breaking through with the ball"
That's what almost all the narrators say, and then wait for something.
Because everybody knows.
After Ye Luo's breakthrough.
There must be a threat!!
Really.
After Ye Luo brought more than ten meters forward, he saw that the opposing players were in position to defend.
Just take a long shot yourself!
Facing a dense defense.
Long shots are one of the best ways to break the game!
"Yelo. Shot!!! ”
The commentators exclaimed.
In the stands, the fans also stretched their necks and padd their feet, staring at the stadium, staring intently, lest they miss a second.
Bang!!
Before everyone hears the sound.
The football has already taken off into the air, turning into a meteor in the air, with a phantom, rushing towards the goal!!
Wigan Athletic's goalkeeper Hoel was focused.
He had already guessed the possibility of Yelo's shot when he burst forward with the ball.
In the face of Ye Luo's long-range shot this time.
Hoel, who had been prepared, moved his feet and flew in depth.
The palm of his hand blocked the ball.
The tremendous force played with Hoel's palm at once.
The strength of his wrist failed to lock!!
Hoel was shocked.
Knowing that he saw the football slam on the post and bounce back into the penalty area, it was cleared by his own defender's big kick, and the football flew off the sideline.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Even with all the preparation, the goal was almost shot into the goal!
Hoel's face became unusually solemn.
That dragon country man, it's terrible!
"Don't let him shoot with his feet!!"
He yelled.
But in fact, Hoel himself is clear that such a request. For their teammates.
It's so hard!
Martinez on the sidelines was taken aback.
Arsene Wenger skewered from his seat.
After discovering that the ball did not fly into the goal, he sat down with his head in his hands.
"Pillars!! Ahhhh The post denied Yelo's goal! ”
"The game was less than a minute into the game! Ye Luo came with a long-range shot that knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger!! ”
"Wigan Athletic wants to score points away from home, and the difficulty is tantamount to pulling teeth out of the mouth!"
On the commentary seat.
Almost all of the narrators were chanting.
Martinez couldn't sit still.
He came to the sidelines, waved his arms, and motioned for his players to recycle.
Hold on!
A point, even a point, is a lifesaver for Wigan Athletic.
However.
Ye Luo doesn't think about Wigan Athletic's life or death at all, he is like a ruthless killer, always looking for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow!
