Chapter 76, Arsenal is finished
Jose Mourinho is in a very good mood.
He's all over the training base these days with a smile on his face.
It was a pleasure for his players to feel good and the Carrington training ground was filled with laughter.
His side beat Borussia Dortmund 1-0 away in the first leg of the Champions League.
Speaking of which, Dortmund is also quite miserable.
In the past two seasons, their core players have been poached frequently.
But they can still reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League, which shows the stakes of Klopp.
As the manager of Manchester United.
Jose Mourinho certainly won't have much of a good face for Manchester City, even if it is out of work ethic.
Even.
He thought for a while.
Manchester City will be the biggest opponent.
Because Manchester City's investors, the Middle Eastern oil conglomerates, don't invest in football for financial gain at all – the kind of feudal monarchs who are still in power in this era know very well that if they don't have a good reputation, they can be ruined in a minute.
Therefore.
Invest your little money in football and make a name for yourself in the Western world.
For Middle Eastern conglomerates, it's just a drop in the bucket.
As long as you can keep your home and country, this amount of money is really a drop in the bucket.
So.
Manchester City with such an owner is very scary - their investment can be done basically regardless of the cost!
Therefore.
Manchester City's future as a dominant team in football is almost predictable.
But now Mourinho doesn't think so.
Because of the rise of Arsenal.
Arsenal's rise has been entirely based on Yelo.
And how big is Yelo?
He's only twenty-three years old!!
According to his current state, there are at least seven or eight years of peak!
What's more, this guy almost never gets hurt!
Could it be that Arsenal can dominate the Premier League for seven or eight years?!
It's horrible!
When you come to Manchester United, do you want to live in the shadow of Arsenal?
It's terrible, isn't it?
In order to be able to catch up with Arsenal.
Jose Mourinho has even backed Manchester City.
If only Manchester City could beat Arsenal.
Then Manchester United can make a profit.
All at once, you can chase down the points gap to only four points!
The four-point gap means that Arsenal can already feel the cold wind behind them!
From leading by 10 points to only leading by 4 points!
It's definitely going to put a lot of pressure on Arsenal.
Under such pressure and exhaustion from continuous double-front operations.
Arsenal will definitely be crushed!
And once this season, Manchester United can overtake Arsenal to win the title.
It was an absolute blow to Arsenal's confidence and morale.
I can't rely on such a reversal to make Arsenal fall into the quagmire again and struggle for more than ten years.
Jose Mourinho came to the Premier League with ambitions.
He wants to be the second Ferguson!
Become the second godfather of football!
And now it seems.
The team that stands in the way of his ambitions is not Manchester City, but Arsenal!
Jose Mourinho has decided to do whatever it takes to strangle this promising Arsenal team in the cradle and must not give them a chance to grow.
If Arsenal end up empty-handed this season, it may trigger some conflicts that no one expected, in the dressing room, or between the manager and the club's hierarchy, and finally lead to the disintegration of the team.
Especially Yelo.
Mourinho felt Yelo was a very ambitious player.
If.
He can't get anything at Arsenal.
He would definitely be looking to leave.
Ye Luo left.
Can Arsenal still threaten Manchester United?
So now Mourinho is waiting.
Waiting for the showdown between Manchester City and Arsenal.
Jose Mourinho and Manuel Pellegrini.
Manchester United and Manchester City.
This pair of sworn enemies in the same city.
Because of Arsenal.
For the first time, the position was so identical.
Arsene Wenger is certainly aware of the situation facing his team.
But he has always scoffed at the so-called "situation is out of control".
He knows best what is going on in the dressing room at the moment for Arsenal.
The Arsenal dressing room is now more united than ever.
Everyone rallied closely around the dressing room with Yelo as the captain, working towards the same goal.
Arsenal have no shortage of leaders.
Before heading to the Allianz Arena.
The team is playing away from Stoke City.
It's never a good game.
But in order to save the player's energy.
Arsene Wenger made a big rotation in this game.
And he has not yet played an aggressive attacking strategy on the road, but has allowed his players to control the tempo of the game as much as possible.
Slow down the pace of the game.
It's best to win the game on a budget.
Eventually Arsenal did the same.
With Yelo's goal.
Arsenal won 1-0 away at Stoke City.
The win made Arsene Wenger happy.
But in the eyes of the outside world.
That's evidence that Arsenal is dying.
Playing a Stoke City also requires a stunner near the end of the game, and it is also a problem that Yelo's individual ability can solve.
The media certainly has something to say.
It can be said that Arsenal were lucky to win.
So Arsenal is really dying!
This is the opinion of many English media.
There is no expectation that teams such as Stoke City and Sunderland will stop Arsenal.
So all eyes are on the Etihad Stadium.
Arsenal travel to Manchester City.
Arguably the most watched game of the season so far.
The result of this game.
It has affected the pattern of the tripartite championship!!
The vast majority of people are behind Manchester City to win.
Because only Manchester City won.
The battle for the Premier League title.
It's even more intense.
It's even more interesting!
The fans of Manchester United and Manchester City are also "united" like never before.
In front of a common enemy.
This pair of sworn enemies in the same city instead had the meaning of shaking hands and making peace.
At a time when England was still discussing the format of the Premier League title race.
The whole Arsenal squad has travelled to Munich.
At the pre-match press conference.
A question from a reporter from Munich.
Arsenal are not interested in giving up the Champions League.
'How could we give up the Champions League? Now it's Arsenal who are leading, not Bayern Munich!" Arsene Wenger said.
"But Bayern Munich have two away goals!" The Munich journalist retorted.
"So what? Let's talk about how you can win. Wenger shrugged.
In all fairness.
The most sensible thing for Arsenal to do is to give up the Champions League and go all out to keep the league.
Because they still have an advantage in the league.
Not necessarily in the Champions League.
It's only the quarterfinals.
If you want to win the championship, you have to go to the semi-finals, and you have to face very strong opponents in the semi-finals - such as Barcelona, Manchester United, Juventus and so on.
Compared to the Premier League champions.
The chances of winning the Champions League are much lower.
The knockout format is too fortuitous.
Even a little sanity should know the trade-off.
However, when Arsenal's starting XI came out.
Journalists from Germany and England in the press gallery at the Allianz Arena shook their heads.
"It looks like Arsene Wenger is going to gamble on the Champions League!"
"But if he doesn't win the Champions League in the end, and the domestic league is reversed, how will he explain?"
"I think Arsene Wenger is playing with fire, he's taking all his bucks like this, and maybe the end result is empty-handed!"
On the contrary, it is on the side of the Dragon Country Press Corps.
Everyone is a little out of opinion.
Because on the one hand.
They know what fans at home like to watch.
Honestly.
Most domestic fans don't care too much about whether Arsenal can win the league title.
They care about the Champions League.
I think the Champions League is more advanced and awesome.
Zhong Dayong, a reporter from Nanguo Sports Daily, was also at the scene.
Because he has a certain personal relationship with Ye Luo.
He is now the hottest football reporter in the Dragon Country.
He typed a line on his laptop.
"Arsene Wenger continued to field the main players he could send in this game. The media on this side of Europe thinks Wenger is not rational enough, but. Football can't be too rational, otherwise where does the passion come from? ”
"Arsenal, they have the capital to fight hard!"
"Because, they have Yelo!"
"You can always trust him!"
A simple press release covering the first release of both sides.
It shocked the Dragon Country fans who were staying up late to watch the Champions League.
"Life and death are downplayed, if you don't accept it, you will do it!"
"There is Ye Luo, what are you afraid of!"
"No matter what, Ye Luo can win!"
"To be honest, I don't think Arsenal will have a big problem as long as Yelo can still play!"
Compared to the media.
The fans are clearly not so sensible.
They believe in Ye Luo unconditionally.
Believe that he can bring victory.
On site.
The home fans at the Allianz Stadium obviously know who is the key man for Arsenal.
So when Yelo took his players to the football field.
He enjoyed the most enthusiastic boos in the entire stadium!
Obviously.
Bayern Munich fans are holding grudges.
Because they all remember that it was Yelo and his side Malaga who snatched Bayern Munich's low-hanging fruit title in the Champions League final.
It was also Ye Luo who made Bayern Munich an embarrassing Sanya king in which season.
Now, here's the chance for revenge, because Bayern Munich is definitely one of the strongest teams in the world right now.
Under the governance of Heynckes.
Bayern Muni completed the reconstruction, consolidated the structure and emerged from the turmoil.
Yelo never underestimated Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich's side is not surprised that Arsenal are at their best.
After all, the last Premier League game.
Arsenal rotated a large area.
Isn't it just to fight with Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena?
Therefore, Bayern Munich's players did not despise Arsenal because the media was hyping up news such as "Arsenal is going to be finished" and "Arsenal can't run".
Because they're still behind on aggregate.
While Bayern Munich have two away goals.
But to be behind on aggregate is to be behind.
In this scoreline, it is still Arsenal who have the advantage.
Even if it's just a little bit of an advantage.
This also requires Bayern Munich to win at home.
The draws were all Arsenal promotions.
Plus Arsenal and Yelo.
Such a person.
It is something that cannot be underestimated in any way.
Maybe in the eyes of the media.
Arsenal are at the end of the crossbow.
But Bayern Munich didn't dare to put their guns to the test.
Who knows how much more power Arsenal's arrow can have?
In case you yourself are shot through.
Hung up.
What to do?
So Bayern Munich put on the strongest lineup.
It's going to be a death match against Arsenal at home.
Arsene Wenger could tell from the opponent's starting line-up that Bayern Munich's attitude.
They will never allow themselves to be eliminated on their home turf.
Arsene Wenger knows this game is not going to be easy to play.
Even he is ready to be eliminated.
In this game, not only did Arsenal have more injured Wilshere, but Mane was also suspended for a red card.
So Arsenal's squad is actually even weaker.
There is no surprise in being eliminated.
But Arsene Wenger is not discouraged.
Because he has a team with unmatched potential.
Just keep the current squad structure.
Reinforcement of the bench a little more.
Arsenal can definitely be the strongest team in the Champions League.
Yelo didn't think as much as Wenger thought.
The only thing he could accept was to qualify for the semi-finals.
But this game started from the beginning.
Luck is not on Arsenal's side.
The third minute of the game.
Arsenal were awarded a penalty!
Ribery's cross hit Koscielny's arm.
Handball.
Penalty kick!
"Penalty! Penalty kick!! Penalty kick!! Bayern Munich won the penalty!! ”
On the commentary seat.
The narrators chanted.
England commentator Andy Grey frowned: "It's arguably the worst situation they've ever faced for Arsenal, Ribery's cross was almost no threat, but Koscielny's arm was so wide that Bayern were awarded a penalty. Now Arsenal are in a very difficult situation! ”
"Now it's Szczesny who can save Arsenal!"
The Allianz Arena fans certainly knew what the penalty meant.
They cheered loudly.
As soon as this penalty was scored, the initiative completely fell into the hands of Bayern Munich!
The decision left Arsenal fans and players very unhappy.
The players surrounded the referee.
I hope the referee will take back his order.
But the wood is already in the boat.
Thomas. Muller took the penalty and hit it safely.
Bayern Munich got off to a dream start!!
This penalty.
A crazy race ensued.
For Arsenal.
The goal wiped out their advantage.
Arsenal can only attack.
Or Arsenal's luck.
Several of their dangerous attacks were miraculously defused by Neuer.
The result was in the thirteenth minute of the game.
Bayern Munich played a quick counter-attack.
Robben crosses.
Lewandowski follows up in the middle with a header!
Two to zero!
When the Arsenal fans were still confused.
The third goal came three minutes later!
It was Robben who scored the goal!
Peter Pan raced at high speed along the side and cut inside to shoot.
The iconic arc bypassed Reina's defense!
Three to zero!
Less than twenty minutes!
Bayern Munich is completely crazy!
This goal is one goal!
Everybody knows.
Bayern Munich, win!
The total score, five to three!
Arsenal are two goals behind!
They
It's over!
Mourinho thought as he sat in front of the TV.
Pellegrini looked at his assistant with a smile: "Arsenal, it's really going to be over!" (End of chapter)
