Chapter 439 Battle of Focus

On the podium, every Arsenal reserve player smiled brightly.

This is a photo of Arsenal winning the League Cup.

Being published on the front pages of all media!

The League Cup is not a major championship.

However, considering that this is a championship that Arsenal won with the reserve team, such a legend deserves to be praised forever.

After the game, many media outlets rushed to report on the game.

They all affirmed and praised the strength and performance of Arsenal's reserve team.

Even after the game, there was news that a number of Premier League and Championship teams were interested in these players from Arsenal's reserve team.

For these reserve team players, this is the best gain.

Their efforts were recognized.

The experience of this League Cup may change their destiny.

For a time, the reserve teams of other teams were envious of Arsenal's reserve team - why didn't there be a player as courageous and capable as Yello in the first team of his club?

In today's information age, there are almost no secrets. Everyone has known for a long time that it was Ye Luoli who insisted on letting the reserve team play the League Cup and FA Cup against everyone else.

Without his persistence, there would be no reserve legend.

But he must persist and be supported by strength.

If it were anyone else, no matter how much they insist on using the reserve team to play in the League Cup and FA Cup, they will only be eliminated after two rounds at most - without that diamond, there is no need to get any porcelain work.

After the League Cup final, all reserve team players had a day off to let them enjoy the wonderful feeling of being champions.

Now it is basically difficult for big teams to rely on their own youth training as the backbone of the team.

To achieve results, you still need to buy already famous stars.

Although there is a certain chance of making a mistake and buying parallel imports.

But it is always faster and more convenient than searching for treasures from the youth team.

Now for the Arsenal reserve players.

They won the League Cup.

It is of great benefit to themselves and the team.

Super results and outstanding performance in the League Cup may not be able to get them a professional contract with Arsenal's first team, but they can attract interest from other teams.

Arsenal's reserve team players will have a day off.

Ye Luoke didn't have this kind of treatment.

He still has first-team games waiting for him.

On March 3, Arsenal will welcome Manchester United at home.

Facing such an important game, how could Ye Luo still have time to rest?

Even if someone wants him to rest because of heartache, he himself will not rest.

Arsenal were held to a 3-3 draw by Manchester United at Old Trafford in the first half of the season.

Arsenal scored three goals in that game but failed to win the game.

Arsenal's season winning streak also came to an end.

Arsenal have been winning since then and if it weren't for Manchester United, they would have won a record twenty-five consecutive games.

But all this disappeared.

So this game can be regarded as Ye Luo's revenge battle.

Arsenal must not let Manchester United draw two consecutive games. It is already very unbearable not to be able to double defeat Manchester United this season.

As for losing to Manchester United at home, Ye Luo never thought about it at all.

Wenger has inherited his cautious style, and he does not dare to be careless when facing opponents like Manchester United.

His opponent is Manchester United led by Mourinho!

The fact that they were tied 3-3 in the first half of the season speaks volumes.

Any time you dare to underestimate Manchester United, you will be punished immediately.

Manchester United's ranking second this season also shows their strength.

If it weren't for Arsenal, Manchester United would probably still be the dominant player in the Premier League.

So even if he faced this team at home, Wenger did not dare to slack off at all.

The game between Arsenal and Manchester United is the focus of everyone's attention, and it is also the most important game for these two teams.

This is especially true after the rise of Arsenal.

In the first half of the season, Manchester United successfully drew with Arsenal at their home court, which gave many Manchester United players confidence.

Being able to score three goals against Arsenal gave them more confidence in their offense.

The players who went to Manchester United away from home this time did not make any big claims.

This is the Emirates Stadium after all.

Moreover, Arsenal's reserve team just won the League Cup, and everyone knows how important Yello played in it.

Now that Ye Luo is very motivated, it would be better not to anger him...

After so many years of competition, Manchester United players also know what kind of person Yello is.

He is the kind of person who if you piss him off, you will be fucked to death by him...

So it's best not to anger him.

Even Mourinho knows this.

So before this game, Mourinho did not play a madman at all and did not try to anger Yello.

Therefore, according to Mourinho's consistent impression on people, everyone thought that in this focus battle, Mourinho would definitely provoke a war of words between the two sides as before.

But Mourinho didn't do that.

Mourinho's approach surprised many people, but it is reasonable.

Mourinho did not criticize Arsenal or disparage Yello.

Instead he expressed goodwill towards Arsenal.

"Arsenal is undoubtedly the strongest team in European football today. I wish them good luck in the European competition... Anyway, I hope my opponent is a strong enough team. Because only strong teams This team deserves to be the mortal enemy of Manchester United!"

As for Ye Luo, he also had kind words.

"Yeluo has proven his ability with his actual performance. I don't think there is anything more to say or discuss. Look at those champions, who can lead the reserve team to win the League Cup and FA Cup. Player, I think there is no other person except him..."

What "Arsenal is undoubtedly the strongest team in European football today",.

What "Arsenal is the representative of English football"...

Have these words been heard from Mourinho before?

Some people may wonder if Mourinho is using some smoke bomb to confuse his opponents.

But he looked like he meant it.

After he said these words, there was no follow-up action.

So much so that the media reporters were a little confused.

Is this Mourinho?

The most angry ones are the Manchester United players.

Mourinho clearly looked down on them and felt they could not beat Arsenal.

Tolerable or unbearable!

The players of Manchester United are holding their breath!

On the day of the game, the Manchester United players had just finished their last warm-up before the game and returned to the locker room.

What they discovered during the warm-up made them hate it.

The game hasn't even started yet, but Arsenal fans are celebrating in advance in the stands... the championship!

Yes, they are not celebrating the victory of this game in advance, they are celebrating the championship in advance!

Many Arsenal fans held slogans and banners saying "We are the champions".

Paper models of the Premier League Championship Trophy can also be found everywhere.

We have been rivals for so many years, how can Manchester United players not understand what Arsenal fans are thinking?

Why don't they celebrate the championship in advance in other games?

Moreover, they are not in a position to win the championship in advance in this game. The reason why we did this was not really to celebrate the championship in advance, but just to make Manchester United angry.

Tell Manchester United, we at Arsenal now have a good chance of winning the championship early, and what about you?

You only deserve to eat shit after us!

Manchester United players were furious at the discovery.

Before the game, they were not favored because of Mourinho's decline.

Now on the court, being humiliated and provoked in every possible way by the opponent's fans, the fire in my heart cannot be suppressed no matter what.

On the short journey from the stadium back to the locker room, every Manchester United player felt like a furnace about to explode.

Faria has been following the team. Seeing everyone's high morale, he felt happy and smiled on his face.

To him, this was a good sign.

Mourinho's depression can no longer be suppressed, so in this case, the fighting spirit and confidence shown by the players are even more precious.

As long as these players can maintain a strong fighting spirit, even if it doesn't work this season, Manchester United can still start over next season and pose a huge threat to Arsenal!

The players returned to the locker room without any encouragement from head coach Mourinho - which is normal based on the situation these days.

Now no one expects Mourinho to give them any instructions. Mourinho seems to have accepted his fate in this game.

Head coach.

So cowardly! !

Manchester United players are gritting their teeth.

What drives them, what becomes their strength, is simply the hatred in their hearts for Arsenal, which comes from the heart, is in their blood and marrow.

From the time everyone returned to the locker room to their final appearance, Mourinho said, "I won't put any pressure on you in this game. You can play as you like. You all can decide on your own."

It seems like a coincidence.

In the Arsenal dressing room, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger didn't say much.

All signs before this game indicate that Manchester United has no fighting spirit at all.

Even the toughest Mourinho lowered his noble head under the power of Arsenal.

What else is there to worry about?

No matter how cautious he was, Wenger's heart was already swelling as his results improved.

The situation was so good now that he really couldn't think of anything else to worry about during the game.

Even if something unexpected happens, Ye Luo is there!

He has completely turned to Ye Luo now. There is nothing shameful in relying on Ye Luo.

You know, many coaches want to rely on but don’t have this opportunity!

Just because I am full of confidence in this game, I am full of confidence in Ye Luo.

So Wenger didn't say much before the game.

It is also a sentence, sent to cheer up the players and make them relax.

"You are stronger than Manchester United, and you deserve to win this game. I am waiting for the good news of your victory!"

No one thought there was anything wrong with what Wenger said, whether it was the assistant coach or the players.

Because they are convinced that they are indeed stronger than Manchester United, and winning is indeed a matter of course.

What's there to worry about?

In our current state, let alone Manchester United, even if Barcelona and Real Madrid come, we have to surrender!

To become a seven-time champion this season, you must have such domineering attitude!

In this way, Manchester United's players stepped onto the court full of anger and transformed fighting spirit.

The Arsenal players next to them looked very relaxed and casual, as if they were not going to play at the Emirates Stadium, but were going to spread plastic tablecloths on the turf of the Emirates Stadium, and then put a sumptuous delicacy on the floor while tasting it. Delicious food while enjoying the rare sunshine in winter...

Yes, the weather is nice today.

In the weather in early March, there was still such warm sunshine.

You must know that it rained continuously for a week before. Although the rain was not heavy, it was very annoying when it rained all the time.

With such beautiful weather, and being able to see a game against rival Manchester United at home, for Arsenal fans, isn't it equivalent to an outing?

As for the ferocious expressions on the faces of the Manchester United players, no one cared at all.

In their view, this is the last struggle of Manchester United players who are unwilling to lose but have to lose.

The more ferocious their expressions are, the more painful they feel inside.

The more pain they feel inside, the happier these Arsenal fans will be.

Defeating your sworn enemy on your home court and completely burying them is the best revenge!

After being suppressed by Manchester United for more than 20 years, Arsenal can finally feel proud.

From now on, they want all Manchester United people to recognize a reality - today's English football is owned by Arsenal!

When the game just started, Arsenal fans thought that this game would be like other games. Arsenal scored early to establish the lead, and then began to play the defensive counterattack they are most accustomed to and most comfortable with. .

Seeing the sharp counterattacks one after another, Arsenal fans couldn't help but get excited.

Although Arsenal's counterattack is not as good as the artistic football of Barcelona and Arsenal, it is worse than direct.

With wing players such as Mane and Sanchez, plus Yello, quick counterattacks are most suitable for Arsenal.

This kind of attack is like mercury pouring down the ground, which is very beautiful to watch.

With just a few passes, you can hit the front line of the opponent's penalty area from the backcourt, leaving the opponent with no chance to return to defense.

This kind of football is the favorite of the English who like directness.

But today's game is different from usual.

They didn't take the lead at the beginning of the game.

Manchester United are tougher than they thought.

Yes, be tenacious...

In the eyes of Arsenal fans, these Manchester United players are just a bit tougher.

Apparently this was their last ditch effort.

Their tenacity cannot withstand Arsenal's powerful offensive.

Maybe within fifteen minutes, their defense would collapse under Arsenal's indiscriminate bombardment.

Arsenal's main tactic is naturally defensive counterattack.

But this was a tactic after they scored a goal. Before they scored a goal, Arsenal's tactic was to attack, attack, and attack again, blasting open any opponent's door with fierce artillery fire.

Therefore, for a period of time after the start of the game, Arsenal's offensive firepower was quite fierce - if they wanted to score as early as possible, the offense had to be fierce.

Arsenal fans are not worried because they are familiar with this.

Even if Manchester United can last for five minutes, can they last for ten?

If you can hold on for ten minutes, can you still hold on for fifteen minutes?

In short, Arsenal's offensive will not slow down at all until a goal is scored!

The feelings of the Arsenal players on the field may be more real than those of the fans in the stands.

Ten minutes later, they felt something was wrong.

This Manchester United is different from the Manchester United they remember.

In other words, it is different from the Manchester United they thought.

What exactly is the difference?

They couldn't tell for a while.

Anyway, I just feel that these Manchester United players are particularly capable.

Even if he lets go, he is still defending with gritted teeth.

But that's all.

Because Manchester United has always been defensive, defensive within five minutes, and also defensive within ten minutes.

It looked like he was completely overwhelmed by Arsenal's powerful offensive.

What kind of threat does such a team that can only defend and only play defense pose?

All they could do was tremble under Arsenal's powerful attack and pray that their defense could hold on for one more minute.

But it doesn't change the outcome.

The Arsenal players did not take the strangeness of their opponents in this game to heart.

They continued to blast the ball unscrupulously, just hoping to break through Manchester United's goal as soon as possible and seal the victory. In their opinion, as long as they are ahead, the victory is locked.

Even if the team leads by one goal.

This is the confidence and dominance of this Arsenal team.

But sometimes, being too confident and domineering is not necessarily a good thing... (End of Chapter)
