In mid-May, the five major leagues also basically came to an end.

The most dramatic is the battle for the Premier League title.

After the "shocking slip" at Anfield, Liverpool ceded the initiative to Manchester City to win the title.

In the penultimate round of the league, against Crystal Palace, in a 3-0 situation, it was stubbornly equalized by Crystal Palace, and completely lost the hope of competing for the championship.

In the end, Manchester City, who had been in the championship group all season, came from behind and won the Premier League championship in the 13~14 season!

Liverpool were runners-up and Chelsea third.

Arsenal, who topped the table in the first 20 rounds and won the halfway title, began to habitually drop the chain in February, and finally returned to their familiar position - fourth!

It's worthy of fighting for the four!

Arsenal fans have mixed feelings about the team's performance this season.

Sadly, the team finished fourth again in the league and once again missed out on the Premier League title.

Happily, the team reached the FA Cup final and still have a chance to compete for the title!

Since winning the FA Cup in 2004~05, Arsenal has experienced an embarrassing period of nine years without a title.

In the past nine years, many Arsenal players have left Arsenal either for championships, money, or competitive reasons.

Among them is the story of the Four Gentlemen of North London, which is the most widely circulated and the most talked-about.

Loyalty, Fan Ambition, Self-interest, and Song Gongming are the names that Arsenal fans are most reluctant to mention.

In addition, since Vieira in 2006, Henry, Fabregas, Van Persie and other captains of different periods have transferred away from the team for various reasons.

In this regard, selling the captain has also become Arsenal's traditional art, and it has been ridiculed by fans.

In the final analysis, it is still the team's results that are not satisfactory.

If you can sell the captain and main team every year, and you can win the championship every year, then the fans will not remember these stalks at all, but will only remember what championships the team has won this season.

But that's not possible!

Under the background of Jinyuan football, strong capital has entered the Premier League, excellent players have also defected from major leagues, and the competitiveness of the Premier League teams has become more than a little stronger than in the last century.

It is not easy for Arsene Wenger to lead Arsenal to the top four every year and qualify for the Champions League with the loss of captains and main players every year, and the salary space is not high.

Of course, after many years, the FA Cup final again, whether it is the coaches, players or fans, all hope to win this championship and end the embarrassing record of nine years without a championship!

。。。

May 16, the day before the FA Cup final.

The BBC's long-established football programme "Match of the day" has specially curated an FA Cup preview feature.

At the beginning of the program, a carefully cut competition highlight was played.

In the highlights, the match footage of Arsenal and Leicester City is interspersed with each other, introducing the two teams to the promotion path to the audience.

They then played pre-match interviews with the managers of the two teams, asking them how they felt about reaching the FA Cup final.

Finally, the main players of the two teams appeared on the camera and talked about their feelings.

Arsenal's player is the backbone of the team's defence, French central defender Koscielny.

And the player who appeared in Leicester City is the core of the team's midfield, Ling Feng!

During the period, the feelings of the fans of the two teams on this final were also collected.

Due to the lack of a title for many years, coupled with the fact that he fell off the chain again on the road to the championship this year, Wenger's position is actually not so stable.

Many Arsenal fans agree that the team needs to change.

However, no one directly said that Wenger should be sacked.

After all, Arsene Wenger has been in charge of the club for almost 18 years since 1996, the longest-serving manager of the same Premier League club after Ferguson.

It is no exaggeration to say that Arsenal is Arsene Wenger, and Wenger is Arsenal!

No one could have imagined what it would be like for Arsenal if Arsene Wenger left

It is worth mentioning that most Arsenal fans are optimistic about this final, believing that their team will emerge victorious.

In their opinion, Leicester City are the hegemon of the Championship, and even eliminated three Premier League teams in succession: Stoke City, Chelsea and Hull City in the FA Cup.

However, they are still very confident that Arsenal's pass-and-control style of play can completely destroy Leicester City.

And Leicester City fans are very open-minded.

In their opinion, winning the Championship this season, going straight to the Premier League and reaching the FA Cup final have been a pleasant surprise.

Regardless of the final result, this season has been a satisfying one!

Finally, there are the interviews with the managers of the two teams.

Once the elaborate video is played, the footage returns to the studio.

Lineker, sitting in a chair, looked at the camera and showed his trademark smile:

"Welcome to the Match of the day FA Cup special, I'm Gareth Lineker."

"In this special episode of FA Cup Final Preview, we have Martin Keown, a member of the Champions League who helped Arsenal win two FA Cups.

Martin Keown, the last of Arsenal's famous "five old defenders", is also the defender who witnessed Arsenal's rise step by step in the 90s.

Because, the host of the show, Lineker, is a die-hard and famous man of Leicester City, and then invite an Arsenal celebrity to come over, and the two of them will each support a team to create a topic.

This kind of arrangement, the "Game Day" program team is too skilled

The duo first analysed each game between the two teams in the process of advancing to the finals, and then predicted the starting lineups of the two teams in the finals.

Then Lineker suddenly asked;

"Martin, who do you think will be the key players in the Arsenal squad in this game?"

Faced with this question, Martin Keown thought for a moment and then replied:

"I would choose Cazorla."

"Why?"

"He's an indispensable brain in the Arsenal squad and with his grooming, the team's attack can be fluid"

After answering, Martin asked Lineker in turn, according to the script: "Gary, who do you think will be the key man in Leicester City's team?" ”

"There is no doubt that it is Ling Feng!"

"I can tell you think very much about this young man."

"I have said more than once that this young man is very talented and will definitely become a top player in the world in the future"

Just as Lineker was boasting about Lingfeng on the show, Leicester City's team bus.

Mahrez, who was sitting next to Ling Feng, was watching the "Match Day" program on his mobile phone and learning English, and poked Ling Feng, who was close his eyes and recuperating beside him, with his elbow:

"Ling, Lineker is boasting again!"

Hearing this, Ling Feng turned his head, glanced at Mahrez's mobile phone screen, then closed his eyes again and replied lightly:

"It's a well-known fact that I'm so good. It's not a day or two since he praised me."

Hearing this, Mahrez was speechless.

Although there is nothing wrong with that.

But why does it sound so bad?

Yesterday's update.
