521 Champion VS Champion

Arsenal, boosted after their double win against Real Madrid, faced Liverpool at Highbury on the weekend.

There are only ten rounds left in the Premier League.

Arsenal are only three points ahead of Chelsea.

Now is the stage where every point counts.

Fortunately, the fighting spirit and morale of the team is very strong.

Liverpool, by contrast, looked demoralized.

As the defending champions of the Champions League, they were double-killed by Benfica at home and away.

In Highbury, Benitez knew that Arsenal was fighting hard at this time, and he was unwilling to play head-to-head with Arsenal. He made a slightly conservative tactical arrangement.

The game fell into a stalemate for a while, but in the opening stage of the second half, Qin Xiong took a direct free kick and made a save from Reina. Fabregas sent the ball into the goal with a supplementary shot in front of the goal.

After Arsenal scored first, Liverpool had to take the initiative, which made Arsenal's second goal come quickly. In the 67th minute of the game, Qin Xiong broke into the right side of the penalty area to meet Pires' cross and headed to the goal. Before that, he assisted Henry to shoot the ball into Liverpool's goal.

When Liverpool fell behind by two goals, Wenger made a conservative substitution strategy, substituting some of the main players for a rest. It was not until the injury time of the game that Liverpool regained a goal.

2:1

Arsenal defeated Liverpool at home and continued to maintain a 3-point lead over Chelsea.

In addition to Qin Xiong's rapid growth, what Wenger is delighted with this season is the maturity of Cesc Fabregas and Henry's excellent form in the second half of the season.Moreover, the comeback of Campbell and Ashley Cole is imminent. When the most critical stage at the end of the season is coming, Arsenal's overall state is much better than expected.

Without the consumption of the FA Cup, Arsenal only needs to deal with the league and the Champions League at this stage, and there will be the quarter-finals of the Champions League at the end of March. Relatively much better.

The 30st round of the Premier League.

Arsenal continue to sit at home.Ushered in the challenge of London neighbor Charlton.

Arsenal, with its extremely smooth offensive and defensive transitions, easily defeated Charlton at home. The score of 4:0 did not surprise Fleet Street. If Arsenal were fully fired, they would be fully capable of creating a massacre score.

But what shocked Fleet Street, and surprised Arsenal, was Chelsea's defeat at Cravennon Stadium in the same round.

Lost to Fulham 0:1!

"After being eliminated by Barcelona in the Champions League, Chelsea's military spirit was obviously hit by being kept out of the quarter-finals. Coupled with the huge mental pressure of chasing Arsenal for a long time this season. Chelsea's performance is not as stable as before. This game Will the defeat be a watershed moment for the Premier League title race? With eight rounds left in the league, the gap of 6 points cannot be underestimated. Might still lose the title in a heroic way!"

In the 31st round of the Premier League, as Arsenal had to prepare for the home game against Juventus in 4 days, Wenger sent a relatively conservative lineup in the away game, Henry and Qin Xiong.Pires did not play, veteran Bergkamp played the final heat, Campbell returned from injury to find the game feeling, Ashley Cole entered the bench to give him some game time.

The games at the end of the season are not easy to play. The teams in the mid-range are just going down without desires. On the contrary, those teams that are hitting the European seats and relegation teams are the most difficult bones.

Arsenal was almost broken by Portsmouth and was unbeaten in the league, and finally drew with their opponents 1:1 in a thrilling way, thus winning the 31st unbeaten game in the Premier League this season.

Chelsea returned to the home court to kill the visiting Manchester City 2:0, and shortened the points gap with Arsenal to 4 points.

For Arsenal.The most difficult schedule at the end of the season has arrived.

There is only one week between the two rounds of the Champions League quarter-finals, for these two games.It is bound to affect the league.

Losing points at Portsmouth is no accident, under the influence of the Champions League.There is also the score to face Manchester United immediately after the second leg.

The worst result will of course be that Arsenal will not only be out of the Champions League, but will also be reversed by Chelsea at this stage or the points gap will be further shortened.

Wenger began to encourage the whole team in the team, let everyone cheer up to overcome these difficulties with a tenacious fighting spirit, don't have too much mental pressure for the time being, play one game at a time, face the present moment wholeheartedly, don't think too much Far.

Italian marshal Fabio Fabio Fabio Fabio led the Bianconeri Juventus airborne to London!

In addition to the news that Arsenal and Juventus met in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Vieira will return to Highbury for the first time wearing a Juventus jersey. It is also attracting attention.

Arsenal have not only become accustomed to the absence of Vieira, Campbell, Ashley Cole this season, but also Lauren's decline in form and being sidelined by Wenger.

The outside world always believes that Arsenal is not the strongest Arsenal in the current lineup, but this situation must be viewed rationally. It is not that the strongest players can become the strongest lineup.

After spending most of the season, although Senderos has a gap in strength that cannot be bridged, he has not become a time bomb in Arsenal's defense. As far as he is concerned, he is not far from Ashley Cole. In Wenger's tactical strategy based on the team's situation, the team chemistry shown by Arsenal is the best now.

Juventus has a major hidden danger when ushering in the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals: Nedved cannot play due to injury!

Nedved's absence from the first leg was a major plus for Arsenal.

Capello tried his best to downplay this problem in the pre-match press conference, avoiding hitting the team's confidence and not wanting to show weakness in front of the opponent.

As a coach with a strong wrist, Capello will naturally not bet on the outcome of the game on a certain player, he has more confidence in himself.

With him, Juventus will be fine!

Wenger also avoided talking about Nedved's absence in the pre-match press conference. Instead, he wanted to explain why Campbell and Ashley Cole were on the bench.

"The current condition of the team is relatively good. The return of Campbell and Cole is very critical to the team, but I will choose when to let them return to the starting list according to their physical condition and feeling of the game. Senderos and Fra Mini has performed very well this season and I will still trust them in the upcoming game against Juventus!"

March 3th, late.

The Premier League champions Arsenal and the Serie A champions Juventus launched a fierce battle for the king in the quarter-finals of the Champions League! (to be continued~^~)
