Chapter 1057 Six Years
The FA Cup ended and the Arsenal team got a day off.
Just when the players were enjoying this day's vacation very comfortably, the adjustments of the Football Association's various schedules were posted to the player group.
This time, the group of gunmen exploded.
According to the normal schedule, in the new week, Arsenal will have a week of double matches. After finishing the North London Derby with Tottenham in the second half of the season, they will play the League Cup final with Birmingham the next day.
Such an arrangement undoubtedly made it impossible for the shooter to cope with it.
Not to mention that Tottenham must have tried their best to consume their mortal enemy to make them lose in the final. Even in an ordinary league, there is no team that continues to play without a day's rest.
Players are not livestock. The consumption of a professional league requires a buffer time to recover.
Therefore, the Arsenal club applied to the Football Federation early after the team confirmed that it was about to participate in the English League Cup final.
Now, apparently the application was approved.
The derby with Tottenham was directly arranged by the Football Federation to late April, and Arsenal will only have one game in the next week, which is the Carabao Cup final.
Obviously, under the circumstances that Arsenal were unstoppable and attracted a lot of attention after Liu Feng joined.
The British, who are good at creating momentum and enthusiasm, made up their minds to make this minor cup final the first salute of the Premier League this season.
Visible to the naked eye, in the following week, the final match between Arsenal and Birmingham filled the streets and alleys.
In addition to the UK, similar scenarios are constantly unfolding in distant China.
It took Liu Feng three years in Piacenza to finally lead the team to win the Coppa Italia. Now this English League Cup is likely to be his second championship trophy. How could the fans not look forward to it?
People who know about football or those who don't, as long as they know Liu Feng's name, they all started discussing this matter happily.
I saw all kinds of reports about Liu Feng all day long, and talked about how strong he is all day long, but there is still nothing more convincing than the champion.
For Arsenal, this is their first clearance since they have not won the championship for six years.
All gun fans are praying silently. People who have followed Arsenal through the six long years are really eager for this championship that is only one step away.
All in all, everyone is eagerly waiting, waiting for the arrival of this game.
When people are optimistic about the Gunners getting their first championship this season, their opponents, Birmingham, seem a little extra silent.
As another team in this final, Birmingham, like Arsenal, has enjoyed the extension of this round of the league.
Now Birmingham's ranking in the league is in the middle and lower reaches. As newly promoted this season, their task of relegation is not as difficult as other teams seem to be.
Under the leadership of McLeish this season, Birmingham once reached eighth in the Guo League in the league, but because the team's foundation is still too weak, it is now showing a downward trend.
However, in the League Cup, the explosive strength of this team was quite outstanding. They eliminated several strong teams one after another before finally getting the chance to join Arsenal in the final.
For the team's performance in this competition, Yang Jiacheng, a Hong Kong rich man who bought Birmingham a few years ago and gave the team a strong Chinese element, is very satisfied.
He has publicly expressed his confidence in the team winning the League Cup more than once in media interviews, even when facing Arsenal with Liu Feng.
"Liu Feng is my favorite player, there is no one. As a Chinese, I am very happy to see my compatriots have such performance in football."
This friendly big boss made no secret of his love for Liu Feng in an interview with the media: "Haha, in fact, if the economy allows, I really want to buy Feng into my club."
Yang Jiacheng's humor once filled the press conference with laughter.
"However, I also love Birmingham very much. This is a team that belongs to me and countless Birmingham people. I hope this game can bring the team a championship that has been absent for 48 years. Yes, this is what I want to see the most."
Chinese capital VS Chinese football king, this is the biggest gimmick of this game for domestic fans.
Time passed quickly amidst the endless media campaigns. People were looking forward to the game, but the professor at the training base became more and more gloomy.
During these six days of training, the team's injury situation ushered in an expansion again.
Fabregas, who obviously didn't consume much during this period of time, suffered a sprained ankle, and Walcott also suffered a thigh injury after a training match with a defensive player.
In such an important final, the two undoubtedly main players of the Gunners this season have announced their injuries one after another, which makes it impossible for the professor to feel better.
When it came to the day before the game, it was time to announce the starting list for tomorrow's final.
Wenger scanned the players on the field again and again, he confirmed the list in his hands again and again, and read out the names of the final starters one by one.
"Tomorrow's game, our formation is still 442, with Bendtner and Feng partnering as two forwards."
"Roger that!"
Whenever a name pops out of the professor's mouth, the players who are read out will respond to him loudly. It is a great recognition to be able to start in the finals.
"Left forward Nasri, midfielder Wilshere, Rosicky, right forward Arshavin."
Without Xiaofa, Rosicky, who showed no problem in his active state in training, has firmly sat at the core of the midfield, and Wilshere is also a frequent visitor to the main lineup.
"So, back four, Gibbs, Squillac, Koscielny and Sagna."
When both defensive players suffered from injuries, the professor realized that his defense was still a bit weak.
After secretly giving priority to the introduction of a group of defenders next season, Wenger can only arrange the best defense combination in this game as much as possible.
"Goalkeeper Szczesny."
"learn!"
The young Sanmen stepped onto the starting stage one after another, and this time he directly became the first goalkeeper in the final, which made this player very excited.
Wenger then announced the other players on the team's roster, and the players who still didn't hear their names were a little disappointed in the end.
This is very likely to be the starting point for the resurgence of Arsenal, which has been sunk for 6 years. No one wants to be a participant in this final.
The atmosphere of the Gunners has been completely tense. After Wenger signaled to disband, the players quickly went back to rest.
When night falls tomorrow, everything will be settled.
