Chapter 458: After 11 years, the Premier League team once again dominates the Champions League final

Chapter 458: After 11 years, the Premier League team once again dominates the Champions League final
Before the start of the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Arsenal won the league and the make-up match respectively, with the point difference reaching 14 points. In addition, the two teams were affected by the Champions League and FA Cup, and they lost points in the league, so that Arsenal's The points advantage widened to 16 points.

With six rounds left in the league, it basically means there is no possibility of a reversal.

Therefore, Arsenal's preparation focus is on the two rounds of the game against Tottenham.

Although it has been a crushing performance against Tottenham in recent seasons, the Champions League is very different from the Premier League.

Martin clearly remembers that Tottenham seemed to be meeting Liverpool in the Champions League final this season. What if they encountered a system game?
Therefore, if you want to advance to the Champions League finals this season, you first need to be cautious.

In addition, Tottenham reached the Champions League semi-finals again after 57 years, which is still a great encouragement to the whole team.

The club and fans have shown great confidence. Even the media and fans from South Korea are excited, believing that Tottenham's ability to reach the Champions League semi-finals this season has a huge relationship with their star player Son Heung-min.

Before the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Arsenal ushered in the 33rd round of the league and faced Crystal Palace at home.

With captain Martin scoring twice and Cavani and Aubameyang adding the icing on the cake, they won a hearty 4-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium.

Since there are only the last five rounds of the league, the lead has reached 19 points, which means that the winning Arsenal does not need to wait for the results of Manchester City and Liverpool to win the 2018-2019 Premier League championship in advance.

With the victory at home, Arsenal became the first team to win four consecutive championships since the establishment of the Premier League and even the beginning of England's top league.

Winning the championship in advance can be said to be an expected result, but the Arsenal fans at the scene and watching the live broadcast were particularly excited. They released all their energy to cheer and cheer for the team to create a new championship record.

Head coach Arteta is also extremely excited. He won various championships in his first season coaching Arsenal, which is simply wonderful.

He also created a legendary record!
In the first season of his coaching career, he led a team to win all championships.

Such a record may not be broken for many years to come.

It can be said that it is an unparalleled record.

The on-site director also gave Arteta a close-up shot, the kind that pushed up to his face.

A large number of commentators have expressed their envy of Arteta, because in the eyes of many people, whoever takes up Arsenal's coaching position can win championships in various competitions.

As long as they don't take the initiative to kill, or challenge Martin's authority at the tactical level, it is basically impossible for Arsenal to lose.

A draw is the bottom line for Martin's team.

Having won the Premier League title five rounds ahead of schedule, the Arsenal team did not take a day off, but instead focused on the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals at the Emirates Stadium in the middle of next week.

The opponent is a sworn enemy in North London, so they cannot be ignored.

Having won many games in the past, the next Champions League semi-finals will be even more important.

Because the Champions League is the highest level football competition in the world.

The Premier League does have the highest degree of commercial development, but the level of the Champions League is recognized.

Arsenal is fully preparing for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals. Tottenham, which has had no success against Arsenal in recent seasons, is even preparing for the game in a low-key manner, paying no attention to the cynicism of the media who are optimistic about Arsenal.

Coach Pochettino and the players know that winning the game is more important than anything else.

As long as you win the game, someone will naturally help you reverse the situation after the game.

Once you lose a game, no matter what you say before the game, someone will ridicule you after the game.

In short, the root cause is to win the game!

Son Heung-min has been particularly speechless recently. It was originally a good thing for Tottenham to reach the Champions League semi-finals, but as a result, it was made worse by the domestic media and fans' manipulations, which is very uncomfortable.

The biggest contributor to being able to advance is naturally Lucas, but his own media and fans boasted that it was his contribution.

His own merit is just too much.

The key is to challenge Martin from afar, saying that he can lead Tottenham to a historic advancement to the Champions League finals with his greatly improved personal ability.

What the hell!
Son Heung-min felt like his legs would go weak when he saw Martin.

Still kicking the wool?
Thanks to Tottenham fans, he is now under tremendous pressure...

The few good news is that Martin's position is not matched up. With a little caution, he can still play an unusually hearty game.

As long as the data looks past it, losing doesn't matter.

This... was Son Heung-min's plan before the start of the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

The first game of the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in the 2018-2019 season started at Camp Nou. Barcelona at home defeated Liverpool 3:0.

If Dembele hadn't wasted many excellent opportunities, the score might have been bigger.

Martin was deeply impressed by this game.

Another classic battle about Liverpool's comeback victory.

They lost by three goals in the first leg as an away team and won by four goals at home in the second leg.

Anfield miracle!

Especially when Salah and Firmino are missing in the second round.

At 7:30 pm on Wednesday night, the Arsenal team came to the new Wembley Stadium to warm up.

The Tottenham fans in the audience gave harsh boos to the Arsenal players led by Martin.

Since the game was played at the new Wembley Stadium rented by Tottenham, a large number of Tottenham fans bought tickets.

Although Tottenham have suffered complete defeats against Arsenal in recent years, Tottenham fans have not surrendered. On the contrary, they have a greater desire to win.

Optimistic about the home team's best Champions League result in team history!

But less than five minutes into the game, Tottenham received a blow.

Martin's sudden shot outside the penalty area caused Lloris to miss the ball. Cavani, who was lurking in the penalty area, succeeded in making a supplementary shot, helping Arsenal take a one-goal lead as a guest.

Even the Arsenal fans in the audience didn't expect that a goal would be scored just how long ago?
The Tottenham fans opened their mouths dullly, looking depressed at the Arsenal players celebrating the goal.

Pochettino, who was standing in the technical area directed by the home team coach, kept twitching at the corners of his mouth.

He thought about many situations in which he lost the ball, but he never expected to lose the ball in this way.

Son Heung-min was really speechless with goalkeeper Lloris's performance. He was about to score, but why the hell did you save the ball?
Sure enough, it's the French goalkeeper.

Butter hands, you are a pro.

……

Tottenham, who were lagging behind, had to strengthen their offense to equalize the score, otherwise they would be facing slow death.

As mortal enemies, they know the horror of Arsenal better than many people.

Many game commentators believe that Arsenal has a high probability of winning the first leg away game.

There is a high probability that the offensive triangle composed of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Lucas Jr. will not be able to threaten the defensive system led by Kanter + Van Dijk.

Central 5 commentator He Wei said loudly: "Little Lucas' winning goal has probably exhausted their luck. The defending champion Arsenal has extraordinary championship temperament under the leadership of Martin. I think...Arsenal We will definitely reach the Champions League finals for four consecutive seasons under Martin’s leadership!”

The game restarted, and Tottenham, who had a kick-off advantage, tried a variety of offensive methods, but they failed to break through Leno's goal.

Time passed by second by second, Arsenal, who was leading the score, played calmly, while Tottenham played more and more disorganized. Son Heung-min had a particularly strong desire to score, but was undermined by Kante one after another.

Pochettino stood on the sidelines and kept reminding Son Heung-min that he should try to cooperate with his teammates. After all, he also knew that frequent squandering opportunities may ruin the team's prospects.

What was a near miss was that Arsenal failed to score in two consecutive counterattacks, and the team almost caused De Ligt to make a mistake through fast passing.

The Tottenham fans in the audience thought that the home team was getting closer and closer to the goal...

As everyone knows, the first thing to come was a lost ball.

In the 26th minute of the game, Mahrez received a through ball from Martin in the counterattack and passed two people. Then he was kicked to the ground by Alderweireld at the front of the penalty area.

Yellow card + direct free kick at the top of the penalty area.

"Tottenham are in big trouble. Toby Alderweireld, the backbone of the defense, not only received a yellow card, but also gave Arsenal a very dangerous free kick."

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said loudly. When the screen was broadcast to Martin, his voice couldn't help but get louder than Abdul: "A foul in this position is undoubtedly equivalent to giving Arsenal a penalty kick!"

After being fired by Manchester United, Mourinho served as the guest commentator. He said impassionedly: "Personally, I think Tottenham can consider focusing on competing for the top four."

The implication is that Tottenham are about to fall behind by two goals.

Although the Tottenham fans who watched the live broadcast of the game were unhappy, they deeply agreed with Mourinho's statement.

After all, Martin's ability to take free kicks is there.

"wuwuwuuwwuwuuu——"

Tottenham fans at the new Wembley Stadium tried to save the situation and let out harsh boos.

Martin placed the football without being affected by the outside world. He retreated to a sufficient distance and remained calm in the face of the boos. After hearing the whistle of the referee Bruchy, he started to run.

The location of Alderweireld's foul was about 24 meters away from the goal. Martin's direct free kick was to slice the ball from the inside of his instep.

The soccer ball rising from the ground quickly passed over the head of Son Heung-min on the far right side of the wall with a strong internal rotation arc. Its trajectory was like a fully drawn bow, passing through the fingertips of Lloris's subconsciously stretched left arm and hanging directly on it. The upper right corner of the goal.

“Goooooooooooooooooal——”

The commentators in the on-site commentary box invariably elongated their voices.

"Brilliant direct free kick!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei said impassionedly: "Another incredible goal! Arsenal leads 2:0 as a guest! If Tottenham cannot narrow the point difference and equalize the score in the next game time, they will most likely It’s impossible to create the best result in the Champions League in team history!”

The Arsenal players celebrated the goal excitedly, while the Tottenham players shook their heads and sighed, feeling desperate that the team had lost the ball again.

Head coach Arteta raised his arms and shouted excitedly, venting the ecstasy brought by the goal.

Pochettino, on the other hand, shook his head repeatedly, obviously guessing the team's result.

Although it was predicted in advance, but...

It's somewhat difficult to accept when you actually face it.

Especially since the two goals conceded were unplanned.

Harry Kane was very reluctant, but his personal efforts were difficult to score.

Lucas, who shined against Ajax in the quarter-finals, seemed to have used up all his energy and was unable to show his good foot skills in front of Arsenal's defensive system.

Son Heung-min struggled and was unable to effectively help Tottenham's offense on the offensive end.

The game restarted and Arsenal were in better shape overall.

Eager to reduce the score, Tottenham played more and more anxiously.

The most direct manifestation is that Harry Kane shot angrily from more than thirty meters away from the goal.

The results are predictable...

Anti-aircraft cannons were fired directly, and the football flew directly to the second-floor stands, which also caused the Arsenal fans to burst into mocking laughter.

As a result, Harry Kane's mentality exploded.

In fact, other players are similar.

Tottenham's offense did not show its own characteristics. Arsenal's defense was very simple. It was not efficient when switching from defense to offense. Instead, it controlled the game through passing and reasonably consumed the game time.

Before the end of the first half, Martin played wonderful shots with Mahrez, Cavani and Aubameyang in the middle. He hit a low shot from the right rib of the penalty area into the far corner, extending the score to three goals.

This score almost meant killing the game.

On major social media platforms, many people also believed that Martin's goal almost secured a spot in the final.

Many Tottenham fans in the audience had already guessed the final outcome, and they all left the field early to stay out of sight.

Perhaps because of being behind by a big score, Tottenham's performance in the second half was still poor.

Aubameyang and Van Dijk each scored a goal, setting the score at 5:0.

In other words, as long as Arsenal does not take the initiative to die in the second round at home, there is no problem in advancing.

Arsenal won the league title ahead of schedule and made adjustments to their lineup during the weekend, allowing some semi-main players and substitutes to play in preparation for the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

A few days passed quickly, and Arsenal ushered in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals at home.

The big score win in the first round as a guest set up an opportunity for the second round. Facing Tottenham who had little desire to win, they easily won the game.

4:0
The total score of the two rounds was 9:0 to eliminate Tottenham.

This score also created the largest score difference record in the semi-finals since the establishment of the Champions League.

Another Champions League semi-final second leg tie begins at Anfield on Wednesday night.

A game that was thought to be without any surprises.

However, only Martin knows the process and results.

Of course, Liverpool fans also thought about it in their dreams, but they never expected that their dreams would come true...

In the absence of Salah and Firmino, he completed an incredible reversal at home!

Four goals were scored in the 7th minute, 54th minute, 56th minute and 79th minute.

Directly detonating the entire Anfield stadium's fanatical atmosphere.

Liverpool defeated visiting Barcelona 4:0 at home and advanced with a total score of 4:3.

When the game ended, the whole world went crazy.

Because...it's incredible.

Barcelona won the La Liga championship ahead of schedule and even made rotations over the weekend. On the other hand, Liverpool played with their main force for 90 minutes in order to compete for fourth place over the weekend, but ended up beating Barcelona at home...
