Chapter 279 The mighty Barcelona!
Although Arsenal won the team's first championship trophy in six years with Mu Jianfeng's stoppage time lore in the League Cup final.
But in an interview with the media after the game, Wenger still said that he would not celebrate the championship:
"I know what you're thinking and I understand the joy of the fans.
But one thing, we still have more important championships to fight for!
Therefore, I will choose to determine the scale of the celebration after the end of the season depending on the number of championships the team has won.
Manchester United won this round, so they overtook us in points?
This is only temporary, I believe we can regain the top spot in the standings!
And now, we have to devote ourselves to preparing for the next game! "
But despite what he said, Wenger still gave the whole team a day off after the game, so that the players could get a rest between the intense schedule.
Mu Jianfeng also took advantage of this day's vacation to accompany his grandfather to go around London again.
The old man has been in the UK for almost a month.
Although he has a certain foundation in English, he is still a little uncomfortable with the life where he can only meet foreigners when he goes out, and he can't even find someone to play chess in his spare time.
So after mentioning it a few times, Mu Jianfeng still couldn't get rid of his grandfather, and agreed with his grandfather to go back to live in China by himself.
These days, Mu Jianfeng was busy with training, and as a girl, Jocelyn couldn't stay with her grandfather all the time, so it was thanks to Uncle Guo and his wife who had already dealt with their personal affairs and came to England with them.
It was also because my grandfather learned a few massage techniques from Uncle Guo that he stayed patient for a while longer.
Now I feel that I have learned well, so I want to return to China as soon as possible to show off to my old buddies!
After seeing off his grandfather, Mu Jianfeng also resumed the rhythm of hard training every day.
In the days before and after Arsenal was preparing for the league finals, Manchester United played a Premier League game on February 2 and a Premier League 26-round make-up match on March 3.
As a result, in the two games, Manchester United first took all three points in the game against Wigan, but lost to the opponent in the subsequent make-up match with Chelsea.
In this way, before the 29th round, Manchester United was only one point ahead of the excellent Arsenal!
This also excited the Arsenal players preparing for the Premier League game, so that the enthusiasm invested in training became more obvious!
It's a pity that in the first Premier League game that followed, Arsenal even drew with Sunderland, who had fully retreated, and was the first to expose an upset!
In this game, although Mu Jianfeng entered the starting 11 squad after Van Persie was absent again due to injury, but after 90 minutes of the game, he failed to achieve anything, which disappointed many people.
But fans who watched this game know that it's not that Arsenal's players don't work hard, or that Mu Jianfeng's ability is not enough to cope with such a game.
After all, Mu Jianfeng, who has been training with the team for more than a month, has initially established a tacit understanding with his teammates, and this is the key battle for Arsenal to regain the top position.
But despite the hard work of the Arsenal players, when they encountered a full retreat and only scored one point, and got the referee's extra "preference" to the opponent, the Arsenal soldiers really played extra aggrieved!
The same moves that might not have been called or even paid off in the League Cup final against Birmingham a few days ago will all be called fouls for Arsenal in this game!
Not only that, Arsenal scored two goals in the game!
But Arshavin's goal was misjudged as offside, while Mu Jianfeng's goal was blown by the referee as a foul first and turned into a free kick for the opponent!
This almost caused the Arsenal players to riot!
And because of the theory with the referee, Mu Jianfeng also got his first yellow card in the Premier League game!
After that, the Arsenal players with a somewhat unbalanced mentality were unable to create decent opportunities again, and the two sides eventually drew 0-0.
After the game, Arsenal fans in various forums expressed their dissatisfaction!
All of a sudden, "Sunderland is Mann's contact", "The FA is targeting Arsenal", "Sir Sir's mysterious phone call" and other conspiracies and tricks came out!
There are also "spies" from other teams who come to ridicule and gloat.
Such as:
"If you weren't a referee in the last game, can you win the championship?"
"Barcelona was misjudged, blown, and hacked at home last time. Aren't you very happy? The reincarnation of heaven, who will God spare?"
"Nana, let's go home and play with the League Cup. The Premier League champion is not suitable for you!"
Such remarks made Arsenal fans more dissatisfied, and then took advantage of the evil fire to "go out" everywhere, and attracted more fans to attack each other.
On the contrary, it attracted fans from all over the Internet to fight in a scuffle!
Until the next day, Manchester United surprisingly lost the game again!
They were easily scored three goals by Liverpool in the away game. Liverpool's new winter aid Suarez became the team's new thigh!
He wandered around in Manchester United's restricted area continuously, and finally helped Dirk Dirk with a hat-trick!
After the game ended, many fans were surprised to find that Arsenal, who were originally ridiculed by them, appeared at the top of the Premier League!
And what is surprising is that Arsenal, who are now sitting at the top of the list, have missed a game!
This made many fans ridicule, did they time travel?
Because in the past few seasons, almost only at the beginning of the season, Arsenal will be ranked first because the initial letter is A...
This kind of Arsenal made all the fans talk about it, and they all bluntly said that Wenger's "boy scouts" have finally reached the harvest season!
Some experts even assert that Arsenal's business model is the most suitable model for all teams to promote, calling on all clubs to learn from it!
Just when everyone thought that Arsenal would set sail in this way and create another great season, this Arsenal still fell off the chain in a familiar way...
……
Wenger stood on the sidelines with a livid face, watching the somewhat dazzling score on the big screen:
3: 1!
The home team is in front, the visiting team is behind!
And Pat Rice stood beside him, and didn't speak for a moment, because he also felt that God was targeting them today!
First, not long after the start of the first half, the starting goalkeeper Szczesny was replaced by veteran Almunia due to injury!
Then, until 5 minutes into the game, they were still able to maintain a fragile tie on the court, defending embarrassingly with a score of one to one.
Although the scene was a bit embarrassing and there was almost no shot, the rhythm of the whole game was still under their control, and they were still the side that was closer to the promotion.
But 1 minute later, when the referee had stopped the game, Van Persie's venting shot actually brought him a yellow card in Chapter 2 of the game!
Although Van Persie, who reacted, quickly explained to the referee that he did not hear the referee's whistle because the scene was too noisy, and hoped that the referee could forgive him.
But the referee didn't understand Van Persie's explanation, but thought that Van Persie was trying to quibble, so he simply took out the red card again and sent Van Persie off!
As a result, Arsenal, which was already at a disadvantage, finally collapsed after barely holding on for 10 minutes!
The powerful Barcelona established a 2-[-] advantage through Harvey's goal and Messi's penalty within [-] minutes!
And it wasn't until this time that Wenger finally made a cruel change to the lineup!
He first used Arshavin to replace Rosicky, who was obviously fluctuating after returning from injury!
Then, 3 minutes later, Mu Jianfeng was surprisingly used to replace Cesc Fabregas, who was sluggish in this game!
When Fabregas on the field learned that he was replaced, his face was obviously surprised!
Then, with obvious displeasure, he shook his head helplessly and ran off the field!
What is surprising is that, in the process of leaving the field all the way, Fabregas turned out to be a Barcelona player with a high-five!
This scene once again attracted the dissatisfaction of the Arsenal fans, but in the Nou Camp Stadium of the University of Nuo, the Arsenal fans who could only sit in a corner could not make their voices at all!
Their boos were drowned out by the cheers of the home fans!
Compared with the score on the field, the performance of the Arsenal players who were completely suppressed in momentum made the fans even more desperate!
At this time, the total score on the court was three to one, and the total score of the two rounds was four to three!
It seems that as long as they score another goal, Arsenal can once again be favored by the goddess of fate and get a chance to advance.
But compared to the score, the shooting data on the field at this moment can better explain the huge gap in strength between the two sides at this moment!
The shooting comparison is 15:0!
The direct shot ratio is 7:0!
The shot missed 6:0!
The shot was saved 2:0!
Possession time 70:30! ! !
