Chapter 719: Winning the championship won't be easy
Arsenal are ready to celebrate the championship, they can be said to be determined to go to the Britannia Stadium this time, the Arsenal players are ready to lift the trophy here, and even Xiao Qing and his teammates are discussing some possibilities of winning celebrations at this time.
"Otherwise, we just put the commemorative T-shirt under the shirt and we won't go back to the dressing room, and we will start celebrating wildly after the game, and I'm sure there will be a lot of Arsenal fans here." Xiao Qing's proposal was booed in the locker room, although it looked good; But after the game, the players are covered in stinky sweat, and they will take a shower in the locker room to take care of it a little, so that they look more energetic.
"I don't think you need to do any preparation at all, guys, it's going to be crazy to win the championship, and even though you have all kinds of plans now, when you win the championship, I don't think you can calmly carry out your celebration plans." Henry interrupted the plans of the Arsenal players with a smile, and it was indeed a little unreliable, and the excited Gunners could still stay calm at this time!
Although the Britannia Stadium can accommodate nearly 30,000 fans, the current Britannia Stadium can be said to be full; The home fans still have some expectations that the team will be able to snipe at Arsenal at home, because the relationship between Arsenal and Stoke City is not very good, and because it is really difficult to accept to see the opponent lift the league trophy at their own stadium.
So now Stoke City fans are looking forward to the team being able to snipe Arsenal at home, and they are also looking forward to more surprises from the team in this season without suspense. Sniping at Arsenal at home. Let Arsenal go home empty-handed at Britannia; Even Arsenal ended up winning three consecutive titles. Then that's okay too. Because it's also a small win for Stoke City.
Although there are relatively few tickets sold to Arsenal fans here, and it is true that there will not be too many fans traveling with the team, Arsenal fans at this time are excited, because the team has a great chance of completing the league three consecutive championships in this round of games, because the current Gunners are about to reach a new peak. These are the things to expect from Arsenal fans, who want more success in this game.
Xiao Qing's relatives and friends also came to Britannia Stadium at this time, although Xiao Qing has won a lot of championships, but now every championship is an extremely important honor. So Xiao Qing's parents will naturally come to the scene. Of course, it also includes Xiao Qing's girlfriend; It's just that Anna and Pixie are kings and don't see kings, and there is obviously no friendship or anything like that between them.
In the dressing room, Wenger also gave the Arsenal players the final pre-match mobilization, and now the Arsenal players are extremely eager to lift the championship trophy here to complete the three consecutive championships, they can now be said to be high-spirited, this game is also full of confidence for Arsenal, although the opponent's strength is not bad, although Stoke City's rough style of play may indeed bring Arsenal a lot of trouble, but Arsenal's players will use their desire to win to prove themselves.
There were also some small changes to Arsenal's starting lineup for this game, goalkeeper Szczesny; On the back line are Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen and Alaba, lined up from right to left; The midfield mix is Alexander Song, Theo Walcott, Ramsey and Arteta; As for the forward line, of course, it is a combination of Xiao Qing and Van Persie.
Ramsey was in the starting line-up, and the young player arguably has a different kind of memory for Stoke City; Once again, here we are. Ramsey is also here to help the team win the league title and achieve the treble, and he will say goodbye to that dark memory with such an incredibly happy story. He needs to help the team reach greater heights at this time, but also to start a new period of glory.
As for Stoke City, they are not polite in this game, although they have no desire in the league, but being able to snipe Arsenal at home is their biggest goal right now, and they absolutely do not want to see the Gunners lift the trophy at the Britannia Stadium.
goalkeeper Begovic; On the back line, Shortton, Huss, Shawclos, Wilson; Pennant, Whelan, Whitehead, and Etherington are often among them; Up front, Waters partners Crouch.
Stoke City, who are playing at home, are at their best, and they are of course very sure in this game, they will try to snipe Arsenal, and they will make Arsenal have bad memories here again. And seeing the starting lineups of both sides, the boos and cheers at the Britannia Stadium also rang out, this game will definitely not lack news, and this game will not lack attention.
The reporters in the media area are very excited right now, Stoke City's all-out sniping at Arsenal at home is not news, because this team does not have much good feelings for Arsenal, at this time to make Arsenal eat as disgusting as flies, ruining Arsenal's three-in-a-row celebration, it must be extremely pleasant.
As for Arsenal, Ramsey can be said to have quite unfriendly memories with Stoke City, he was directly tackled by Stoke City captain Shaw Closes two years ago and almost lost his career, and even the current Ramsey's relatively slow growth rate is also believed by many people to be because of that painful broken leg. And now Arsene Wenger has Aaron Ramsey in the starting line-up in a meaningful game like this, which is certainly interesting.
Ignoring the excited reporters in the media section, for the Arsenal players, their goal now is the league title; Although this is Stoke City's turf, the Arsenal players know better that not only Arsenal are ready to win the title, but even the Premier League organising committee is ready.
Arsenal's title two rounds early looks like an imperative, with a win over Stoke City to complete a treble; At such a moment, the Premier League organizing committee will naturally not embarrass itself, so the championship trophy is also brought to the Britannia Stadium, as long as Arsenal wins, the Gunners can immediately get the trophy, there is no need to wait any more.
Now Arsenal is ambitious and waiting for the glorious moment of the triple crown, and the Arsenal players will also work harder for this honor at this time. Although they know that Stoke City will continue to show them the difficulties in the game, the Arsenal players will not care because they know that it is definitely not easy to win the title, and they know that it will take more effort to win.
When the whistle blew, the Arsenal players started the 36th round of the league at the boiling Britannia Stadium, which also means that Arsenal is likely to reach the top at this time, and of course, it is also possible to be beaten by Stoke City at this time. It's a game that both teams care about and they will work harder for their goals.
The two teams quickly entered the state, there was no need for any warm-up or anything like that, and the game quickly entered the white heat; For Stoke City, they have no psychological pressure in this game, as long as beating Arsenal is their greatest success, they can be said to be really light at this time.
Just three minutes into the game, Stoke, who had been labelled "rugby" by Arsene Wenger two years ago, began to make a splash when Stoke City defender Whitehead tackled Alexander Song with a shiny sole.
Xiao Qing was completely dissatisfied, although the confrontation between the two teams was relatively fierce at the beginning of the game, but the dangerous foul like a bright sole on the front was too much. Although Arsenal's players also have a very resolute attitude towards this game, Arsenal's players still have such a major event as the Champions League final, and injury is absolutely unacceptable for Arsenal at this time.
Xiao Qing rushed forward with red eyes, obviously the players of Stoke City have also been prepared, their rough style of play has caused conflicts on the field many times, and now they are familiar with it. While pushing away the rushing Arsenal players, he protected his teammates, and of course, including showing his innocence to the referee.
The referee gave Whitehead a yellow card, which was really merciful; It's not too much to get a red card for this dangerous move, but the game has just begun, and it's also because it's Stoke City's home stadium. In such a game in which Arsenal created three consecutive titles, the referee did not dare to be careless, because this game really had too much attention.
It will never be easy to win the title, especially if this opponent is a difficult opponent like Stoke City, and there will definitely be more difficulties and challenges in such a game. The Arsenal players don't really care about that, they're going to beat the trouble and they're able to handle it well.
Alexander Song was still relatively lucky, and the Arsenal players were also relieved; However, although Alexander Song is not injured, the Arsenal players will definitely not let go of the culprit so easily. Arsenal want to win titles, win beautifully, and of course, have a good time! (To be continued......)
