Chapter 256 is far ahead!A must-win EFL Cup final?
The league match at the Emirates Stadium ended with Arsenal defeating Leicester City 2:0, extending their lead to 16 points.
With the last 12 rounds of the league remaining, it is almost certain in advance that the Gunners will win the Premier League championship again after 11 years.
Therefore, the entire stadium became a sea of joy for Arsenal fans, with overwhelming cheers coming one after another.
In normal games, at the end of a regular game, a large number of fans would choose to leave early in order to avoid too many people leaving at the end of the game, but this did not happen in this six-point game.
Only a small number of Arsenal fans left early, and the vast majority of fans stayed in the stadium to vent their ecstasy about winning with the team.
As the absolute biggest contributor to Arsenal's win, Martin naturally received the craziest praise from the audience.
Huge shouts swept the audience, and "Martin's Song" resounded throughout the sky.
However, the person involved, Martin, walked towards Vardy who was looking depressed after losing the game. He took the initiative to reach out and said: "I asked you to join Arsenal during the winter break. Why did you renew your contract with Leicester City?"
Vardy put his hands on his hips and said solemnly: "This team has been kind to me. I can't transfer and leave for my own honor when I have a chance to compete in the Champions League."
"I said, if, if Leicester City finally finishes in the top four of the league and sets a record in team history to participate in the Champions League next season, will you continue to stay?"
Martin is really interested in Vardy, who was still playing in the amateur league a few years ago, and wants to take him away and cooperate with him.
Of course, in the final analysis, Giroud's ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal is still a bit poor.
And the current Arsenal is not unique to Kroenke, so naturally it will not continue to make big purchases.
Vardy has become the best choice.
Arsenal's current lineup does not have a big problem playing in the Premier League this season, but they are afraid of the Champions League.
Having a stable scoring point is the key to winning the game.
Even though Martin has absolute confidence in himself, he cannot be both a father and a mother, averaging passes and shots per game.
Human energy is, after all, limited.
According to the original historical trajectory, this season's Premier League is actually very chaotic.
All the traditional giants of the Big 6 have fallen into a downturn, which is why the Blue Fox miracle happened.
From another perspective, being able to contribute double 20+ points in the first season since joining Arsenal has something to do with the points dropped by these teams.
Next season, Mourinho will coach Manchester United, Guardiola will coach Manchester City, and Conte will coach Chelsea.
The next season when Klopp takes charge of Liverpool, Pochettino takes charge of Tottenham and becomes more mature.
If you want to make efficient contributions on both offense and defense in front of a team coached by such a top coach, the difficulty level is not ordinary.
It's not that exaggerating others' ambitions destroys one's own prestige, but it's an inevitable problem caused by the lack of stable scoring points.
Unless Kroenke can persuade another Russian owner Usmanov to jointly invest in the introduction of high-level players.
"We'll see then. There are still many games this season and I don't want to be tempted too much."
Vardy shrugged.
"OK."
Martin nodded and said: "Please check each other on Instagram and chat later when you have time."
"can."
……
The 2015-2016 Premier League season ended with 26 rounds.
Arsenal topped the list with 22 points with 3 wins, 1 draws and 69 loss.
输球的莱斯特城15胜8平3负积53分排名第2。
热刺14胜9平3负积51分排名第3。
曼城14胜5平5负积47分排名第4。
In terms of the scorer list, Martin, who has contributed in this round, ranks second with 21 goals, followed by Vardy, Harry Kane, Lukaku and others...
There is no need to look at the assists list, Martin is far ahead.
……
Arsenal's points lead has reached 16 points, and most mainstream European media believe that nothing unexpected will happen in the Premier League this season.
With 16 points, it is necessary to complete the victory in six games to reverse the situation.
For Leicester City, it is almost impossible.
Tottenham are 18 points behind and a massive goal difference behind them, meaning they must complete six wins and at least one draw if they want to come back.
However, Arsenal this season has no solution. Apart from an upset loss to West Ham United in the first round, they have not lost a game.
Such a team will lose six games in the remaining 12 league rounds.
Taking a step back, even if Arsenal loses six consecutive games, will Leicester City and Tottenham all win during Arsenal's losing streak?
Therefore, everyone believes that Arsenal's victory in the 2015-2016 Premier League championship is infinitely close to 100%.
Gun fans around the world are particularly excited.
They have been waiting for this day for 11 years!
Arsenal, who won the game, will have a long preparation time.
Next weekend will be the traditional FA Cup match day.
The opponent is Hull City from the English Championship.
Considering that next week is the Champions League match day, Wenger's team's attention will naturally shift.
Compared with the Champions League, the FA Cup can be completely put aside, especially when the opponent is not strong, it is appropriate to give the main players some rest time.
In the middle and later stages of the season, any negligence may lead to the loss of honors.
It is rare that he has performed so well this season. Wenger does not want to lose the big for the small, even though the ability of his opponent Gent in the Champions League 1/8 finals is very limited.
After winning Leicester City, Wenger was in a very good mood and once again gave the players a holiday.
Only physical and mental pleasure can relax the body and mind and achieve the best results.
A few days passed quickly, and the weekend came in a blink of an eye.
British fans are paying close attention to the traditional FA Cup. The competition has reached the fifth round, and the most watched match is undoubtedly Chelsea vs. Manchester City at home.
The former has lost hope of competing for the league title and the EFL Cup.
The latter has been in poor form recently, and the EFL Cup final against Arsenal at the end of the month is a bit awkward. Naturally, they hope to go further in the FA Cup, which has a history of more than 100 years.
The first fifth round of the FA Cup, the 5/1 finals, kicked off at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal, who played as a semi-main force, relied on Martin who came on as a substitute in the second half to assist Walcott to score the only goal of the game. In the end, Arsenal defeated the opponent 1:0 and took the lead in reaching the quarter-finals of the 2015-2016 FA Cup.
The FA Cup is a famous hotbed of upsets, and there were also some upsets in the fifth round.
West Bromwich Albion from the Premier League lost 1:3 to Reading in the English Championship as a guest.
Watford and Everton performed normally and each defeated their opponents from the English Championship.
The next day, Blackburn lost 1:5 at home to West Ham United.
Tottenham suffered an upset 0:1 loss at home to their London derby opponent Crystal Palace.
The focus game that has attracted much attention is undoubtedly Chelsea VS Manchester City.
No one expected that this top-level contest, which was supposed to be a battle between Mars and the Earth, turned out to be shocking.
Chelsea beat Manchester City 5:1 at home.
In the latest game, Manchester United did not miss the mark, defeating English League One Shrewsbury 3-0 as a guest.
All eight fifth-round FA Cup matches have been decided, with the FA holding a quarter-final draw on Monday night.
Reading VS Crystal Palace, Everton VS Chelsea, Arsenal VS Watford, Manchester United VS West Ham United.At this time, Arsenal's entire focus is on the Champions League 1/8 finals.
The guest challenge is Gent from the Belgian League.
Then, it’s time to compete with Manchester City for the EFL Cup title this season at the new Wembley Stadium.
The British media has begun to warm up on social media, fully exaggerating the focus of the English League Cup final.
Arsenal, preparing for the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals, plays away first and then at home. It focuses on stability in away games and focuses mainly on the EFL Cup final at the end of the month.
In addition, Manchester City also has the task of Champions League 1/8 finals.
Also playing away from home, they will go to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.
In terms of physical fitness, Arsenal will have an advantage.
Because the Arsenal game is on Tuesday night and Manchester City is on Wednesday night.
The most important thing is that London is much closer to Ghent in Belgium than Manchester to Kiev. If the EFL Cup final time remains unchanged, Arsenal, which starts earlier and has a shorter distance, will have an advantage.
It is precisely because of this that Manchester City, who had scruples, were massacred by Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
In accordance with international practice in the Champions League, the Arsenal team went to Ghent on Monday morning to prepare for the first leg of the final 1/8 finals.
At 8:45 local time on Tuesday night in Europe, there are two first legs of the Champions League 1/8 finals.
A match between Gent and Arsenal kicked off at the Guerenc Arena.
The other game started at the Juventus Arena. Juventus, sitting at home, faced the challenge of Bayern, the southern king of the Bundesliga.
Despite the reservations of Arsenal as a guest, Martin, who has been in excellent form recently, used a corner kick in the first half to make the final decision, helping the Gunners win the game 1:0 as a guest and take the lead in the two-round knockout round.
Another focus battle that took place at the same time came to an end at the Juventus Arena. The two sides fought hard for 10 and 2 minutes, and the final score was 2:[-].
The next day, there were two more first-leg matches in the Champions League 1/8 finals.
PSV drew with Atletico Madrid 0:0, and Dynamo Kyiv lost to Manchester City 1:3.
As the Champions League match day comes to an end, the British media focuses mostly on the EFL Cup final, except for a small amount of focus on the Europa League knockout rounds on Thursday night.
Arsenal will compete with Manchester City at the new Wembley Stadium for the first British championship trophy!
With just a few days left until the game, fans from both sides began to battle on social media.
Famous players from both teams also slowly joined the line.
On the contrary, the coaches and players of both sides behaved very friendly.
Especially represented by Martin and De Bruyne, the interaction between the two on social media makes people laugh.
Martin: It’s time to face off again @Kevin De Bruyne, are you mentally prepared to lose?If not, you can make preparations now [smile].
De Bruyne: Are you ready? 【Smile】
Martin: You are the one who loses. What preparations should I make? 【Smile】
De Bruyne: What did Long Guo say?Arrogant soldiers will be defeated! 【Smile】
Martin: Yo~ You learned well, don’t learn it next time, I forgot to tell you, I’m not proud, I just have confidence in myself and the team [smile]
De Bruyne: ...[angry]
……
The two have a lot of fun fighting on social media, and they are working equally hard in preparations at the training center. Obviously they both want to win the first championship in the British arena!
De Bruyne's desire to win the championship is even stronger. There is basically no hope of winning the league championship. He was eliminated by Chelsea in the FA Cup. The probability of winning the Champions League is too low. Only the English League Cup still has a certain probability of winning, so he especially wants to win in New Wemble. Defeated Arsenal led by Martin at the Leigh Stadium!
On the eve of the 2015-2016 English League Cup finals, eight 27th round league games will be played.
The league matches of Manchester United VS Arsenal and Newcastle VS Manchester City are postponed. The specific time will be determined according to the arrangements of the Premier League.
After all, Manchester United and Arsenal have advanced to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup respectively, and both teams have a high probability of advancing further in the Champions League and Europa League. Therefore, they can only wait until there is no competition for a certain period of time before arranging make-up games.
Manchester City's make-up games are relatively simple. Both they and Newcastle were eliminated in the FA Cup, and the latter has no European war mission. You can arrange make-up games only by looking at Manchester City's game intervals, which is to follow the specifications of a double match in a week. .
Arsenal, who are preparing for the EFL Cup final, are also paying attention to the league.
Leicester City takes on Norwich City.
It has to be said that the Blue Fox, who lost to Arsenal as a guest in the last round, was very resilient. The goals scored in the first half lasted until the end of the game. In the end, they won the opponent 1:0. Arsenal had one game less. In this case, the difference between the two sides was reduced to 13 points.
The day before the EFL Cup final, the Arsenal team went to the new Wembley Stadium to adapt to the venue.
In accordance with international practice, head coach Wenger took Koscielny, who will definitely start in the English League Cup final, to attend the regular pre-match press conference. Assistant coach Gary Williams and Bould took other players to the stadium to adapt. site.
Wenger who was interviewed by the media is very different from his previous moderation. He is full of confidence in the English League Cup final tomorrow afternoon.
Because he has Martin in excellent condition!
Koscielny also talked about Martin, who has become the team's biggest asset: "A phenomenal monster, he is our winning code. No matter how strong the opponent is or how good the defense is, he will find the best winning formula! Champion? Why? No?"
Martin looked at this stadium, the largest in the UK and the second largest in Europe, with very high emotions.
He can't wait to play against Manchester City in this stadium.
Since the beginning of his career, the biggest stadium he has been to is Dortmund's home stadium Signal Iduna Park, followed by Bayern's home stadium Allianz Arena.
But the stadium with the most frenetic atmosphere has already been experienced at Signal Iduna Park.
The new Wembley Stadium is larger in terms of fan capacity, but the fanatical atmosphere created by the fans is probably not comparable to that of Dortmund's home fans.
In addition, the fanatical atmosphere at the Veltins Arena is also quite shocking. The decibel level created at home is the highest among the five major European leagues.
After more than an hour of pre-match acclimatization, the Arsenal team returned to their hotel to prepare for the decisive battle starting at 05:30 tomorrow afternoon.
Manchester City arrived at the new Wembley Stadium an hour later. Head coach Pellegrini and player De Bruyne, who attended the press conference before the game, fully expressed their desire to win the game.
Media reporters who are optimistic about Arsenal will naturally not let go of such an opportunity.
It doesn't matter whether you are sarcastic or sarcastic.
Neither Pellegrini nor De Bruyne has the upper hand.
In their view, the current situation is conducive to the team having the last laugh.
What did you say?
The heat must die!
Arsenal, the Premier League leader, is naturally the favorite to win the EFL Cup, which will inevitably lead to them underestimating their opponents.
This... is their chance to win the EFL Cup!
At around four o'clock in the afternoon the next day, not long after players from both sides entered the new Wembley Stadium to warm up, the starting lineups of both sides were seen by fans around the world.
Arsenal is still a 4231 formation.
Goalkeeper: Ospina
Defenders: Monreal, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Bellerin
Back midfielder: Coquelin, Martin
Forwards: Sanchez, Ramsey, Walcott
Forward: Giroud
Manchester City also has a 4231 formation.
Goalkeeper: Caballero
Defenders: Clichy, Otamendi, Kompany, Sagna
Defenders: Fernando, Fernandinho
Forward: Sterling, De Bruyne, David Silva
Forward: Aguero
……
As the starting lineups for both sides of the EFL Cup final emerged, fans paying attention to this peak British showdown realized that the game was about to begin soon!
Arsenal fans couldn't wait to sing, obviously thinking that the next game is more like a routine event, and the final result will definitely be that their beloved team has the last laugh.
Manchester City fans were anxious but still looking forward to the game.
They admit that Arsenal is very strong this season, but their team's performance is not bad either.
This game has fielded the strongest lineup, and the competition venue is the neutral New Wembley Stadium, so I believe they will defeat Arsenal and win one of the few winnable trophies this season!
(End of this chapter)
