Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 147 Winning the Championship

(The second shift, asking for a monthly pass)

Li Huan scored in the 88th minute, still firmly controlled the situation on the field, although Liverpool desperately wanted to fight back, but in the face of Arsenal's solid defense and sharp counterattack was no longer able to return to the sky, and finally Arsenal defeated Liverpool 2:1 at home, winning the 300th victory of Wenger's coaching career, Li Huan completed his high-profile comeback with a stunner, Liverpool fell out of the semi-finals after the failure,,qUAnBEn,

After the game, Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez thought Liverpool deserved a penalty and Li Huan's follow-up shot was suspected of offside, Benitez said: "I think so, I think it was a very obvious penalty. The referee kept telling my players to be careful not to raise their hands too high. After watching the footage, it was unbelievable, how could he not see that ball from Vermaelen. I don't think we can analyse the game based on this one decision. Arsenal played well, but Liverpool deserved at least a point. ”

And Wenger said of the goal: "Yes, maybe it was with his hands, but the problem is that Rafa and I both watched the video after the game to know that it was hit on the arm, there are so many people in the box, it is normal for the referee to not see clearly. Judging by our performance, we deserved the three points. ”

Arsene Wenger thinks it's a difficult game, but it's the tough game that shows the quality of the Arsenal players more, saying: "Liverpool played very well and it was a difficult game to play today, but we refused to accept a draw and we just had to come back with a convincing game. Liverpool have done a good job of pushing forward, Gerrard has been pushing forward with the ball and they are dangerous. But we defended well, we were adaptable, we were decisive and in the end Li Huan came on to give us efficiency and he scored a decisive goal. It was a huge night for the club, with 10 points off Chelsea and it was a good title game for us. ”

Li Huan's comeback is a hot topic, and both managers have talked about it, Benitez said: "I have never seen a player who can improve the team like Li Huan, not even Maradona and Pele, because they are both midfield players, and Li Huan is a defender, a defender who scores more than 20 goals in half a season." His goal was a fatal blow to us, and Li Huan's comeback was bad news for those teams who wanted to win the championship. ”

Wenger said: "The loss of Li Huan has caused us a lot of difficulties, we have lost the deterrence of the opposition on the wing, fortunately the team has been doing well in recent times, let us continue to move forward on the road of dreams, now Li Huan is back, he has used great perseverance to get himself back a week early and maintained his good form, which is a joy for the team and the fans, because we will soon start the Champions League knockout round, Porto is a very strong team, Li Huan's comeback will give us the confidence to face a two-front battle. ”

Li Huan made an early comeback, and his comeback eliminated the Red Army Liverpool, so that Chelsea and Manchester United went bankrupt in the goal of narrowing the score in the devil's schedule, and Chelsea was also upset by Everton, two Merseyside teams, one gave points, one blocked, and helped Arsenal get rid of the city's rival Chelsea. With 12 games remaining, 10 points adrift, Chelsea's title race has all but come to an end. Now the only one who can still bite Arsenal and let them not relax is Manchester United, but the 7-point gap makes Manchester United can only pin on Arsenal's habitual drop of the chain at the end of each season, and the initiative is no longer in their hands.

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti said helplessly after getting the news that Arsenal beat Liverpool, "Winning the championship can only expect a miracle, the difference of 10 points is very huge, our performance this season is already very good, in the previous season with 62 points in 26 rounds can basically win the championship, and now almost lost the hope of winning the championship, we can only say that this season's Arsenal is too strong." But we're not going to give up on the league, we're going to keep working hard and we'll see what happens next. ”

Manchester United's old jazz is still cheering himself on, saying: "A win for Arsenal is bad news for us, seven points means three games, if Arsenal keep up with their current form, it will be difficult for us to catch up, and we hope that the next Champions League game will make a difference. ”

"The Sun" after the game believes that although many people are still expecting Arsenal to habitually drop the chain, but in fact this possibility is extremely small, people who have this kind of thinking may still be immersed in the past, in fact, this season's Arsenal is very different from the past, tenacity, tenacity, blood, these adjectives originally used to describe Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool, can now be fully used for the Gunners. The Sun said: As long as Li Huan no longer suffers injuries, the possibility of Arsenal dropping the chain is very small, and the Chinese have brought Arsenal the quality of perseverance.

The Daily Mail highly commented on Professor Arsene Wenger, who won 300 league wins, "Arsena Wenger's name is destined to be associated with Arsenal, firstly, the name is just similar, and secondly, it is naturally the results to speak, Strasbourg people have won 11 major and small championships in the 13 years they have been in charge of Arsenal, and have led the team to play 773 games and won 450 of them, these amazing numbers have made Wenger firmly the number one coach in Arsenal's more than 100 years of history, and today's victory over Liverpool, No more, no less, it is exactly 300 league wins since Arsene Wenger led the team, and the coincidental number adds to the possibility that Gunners fans are optimistic: double defeat against Liverpool = unbeaten title! Arsenal's replication of the miracle of 0304 is no longer a dream, as long as they are careful and a little luck, no team will be able to beat them. ”

When analyzing the league situation, the more rigorous "Times" believes that Arsenal has basically won the championship, and their goal should be on the Champions League that they have never won, because judging from the later schedule, Arsenal is much easier than Manchester United and Chelsea, who can threaten him.

In the following 7 matches, Arsenal are all against the teams in the relegation ranks, in order: home to Sunderland, away to Stoke City, home to Burnley, away to Hull City, home to West Ham, away to Birmingham, home to Wolves, only talking about strength, Arsenal has no problem winning seven in a row.

And Arsenal's biggest rivals, Chelsea and Manchester United, the next 7 games are arranged to be much tougher than Arsenal, Chelsea's 7th away game against Manchester United, and Manchester United will face Everton in the next game, which is climbing all the way up, .], ~ The fifth game is against Liverpool, and the 7th game is against Chelsea, the difficulty of these games is much stronger than Arsenal's, and Manchester United is slightly better, because these three games are all played at Old Trafford, and Chelsea is basically VER.

In addition, Arsenal have two positive aspects, Arsenal do not have the FA Cup distraction, and the team does not have to play the game. In addition, in the Champions League 16 into 8 games, Arsenal drew a relatively favorable sign, meeting Porto, compared to Chelsea and Manchester United to meet Milan, the Champions League Arsenal has to consume relatively less energy, the same is a two-line battle, it is likely that it is not Arsenal who will drop the chain, but Manchester United and Chelsea.

The league has entered the sprint stage, and the Guardian has begun to prepare for a summary in advance, and the reporter talked about the record that Arsenal may set this season, "72 points in 26 rounds, Arsenal still have 36 points in 12 rounds to take, if Arsenal plays normally, there should be no problem in becoming the first team to win the championship by 100 points; Arsenal are unbeaten in the league so far, and it is not impossible to replicate the myth of the unbeaten season in 0304. If United run out of energy, Arsenal could also break their own record of winning the title four rounds ahead of schedule. In terms of personal records, Li Huan scored 31 goals in 26 rounds, almost locked the league's top scorer in advance, and breaking the league record of 34 goals held by Shearer is just around the corner. With a bit of luck, Arsenal even have a chance to win their first ever Big Ears Cup. ”

The whole British Isles are talking about when Arsenal will be able to win the championship, to be able to win the championship a few rounds in advance, Professor Wenger said at this time that the whole team should be calm, the league is not over yet, and the second place Manchester United 7 points, it is very dangerous to talk about winning the championship now, only seriously prepare for every game, and finally get a good result, Professor Wenger believes that the competition for the Premier League has always been very fierce, and in recent years, it can be described as miserable. Arsenal have lost the league in the past mainly because they couldn't win the middle and lower teams, not because they lost points against Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.

However, the club's president, Mr Hillwood, has a different view from Professor Arsene Wenger, who has publicly stated that Arsenal are aiming for a double this season, and the old man said: "We are in the best moment in Arsenal's history, it has never been so good, the league is seven points clear of second place, the Champions League is going to play Porto, I think the opportunity for Arsenal to dominate the Premier League and Europe has come, we have to seize it, and Professor Wenger has the quality to seize this opportunity." ”

In such a good situation, the owner of the club, Kroenke, who has been hiding behind the scenes, also expressed his expectations for the club through the media, "Champion! The team needs the title, the Arsenal fans need the title, whether it's one or two, we need to end the no-title era. The players will be rewarded handsomely for their efforts, I'm sure of that. ”

Although Arsene Wenger stressed the calmness of the whole team, but in private, Wenger's goal is also to win the double, after the boss promised a reward, the Arsenal players were emotional, grinding their fists for the upcoming Champions League, and the league breathed a sigh of relief.
