Chapter 350

The score of 1:0 has not changed, but this score is enough for Arsenal to enter the semi-finals, not to mention that this is only the score of the second round. Arsenal eliminated Monaco 3:0 with a big score.

When the referee Ke Lun blew the whistle for the end of the game, Li Shou who was standing in front of the goal suddenly got down and kissed the lawn of Louis II affectionately.

Show off?Of course not, Li Shou didn't have to do this kind of thing. As an Arsenal player, he didn't need to curry favor with his former club.

This is just an expression of true feelings. After all, Monaco is Li Shou's first professional team and the starting point of his career.

With the end of the match between Arsenal and Monaco, the four teams in the Champions League semi-finals were fully released, and the Champions League Madrid Derby finally ended with Real Madrid winning.

Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

In terms of paper strength, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the strongest, then Bayern Munich, and finally Arsenal, but in terms of record, Arsenal is the best.

Six games in the group stage and four games in the knockout stage, Arsenal not only did not concede a goal, but also won all the games.

So the following semi-finals have a very high gold content, because no one knows which team can make it to the next round.

On the second day back to London, all Arsenal players once again refused to say it together, because the draw for the semi-finals was about to take place.

"It doesn't matter who is drawn to these teams." Looking at the other three teams, Arsenal's players didn't take any chances anymore.

"I hope to meet the La Liga Double Super League," Li Shou said unwillingly.

"You have fulfilled your wish." But Li Shou's voice fell, and the result of the lottery came out on the TV.

UEFA did not allow the two La Liga teams to fight head-to-head. It is estimated that UEFA's script is like letting Real Madrid and Barcelona meet in the final.

Real Madrid, Arsenal's opponent in the semi-finals, Li Shou's dream team.

If you can beat Real Madrid and Barcelona to win the championship, the gold content will be completely different, and it will be of great help to the next Golden Globe selection.

After the draw was over, the players went to rest. The Champions League semi-final was in May. Although it is the end of April, the game is two weeks away, and Arsenal has a difficult problem ahead of them.

The third in the league is that Arsenal will welcome Chelsea at home in the fourth round. This is not only a game worth 6 points, but also a game to decide the championship this season.

If Arsenal wins Chelsea, the point difference between Arsenal and Chelsea will be restored to 9 points. If the make-up match is kicked off, the make-up match between Arsenal and Sunderland will be three days after the game against Chelsea.

If Arsenal wins Sunderland, then Arsenal can pull the point difference to 12 points. With only four rounds left in the league, Arsenal's 12 points have already secured the championship.

But if they lose, the point difference between Arsenal and Chelsea will be reduced to 3 points. Even if they win the make-up match, there will only be 6 points left. There are still four rounds in the league.

If Arsenal did not defeat Sunderland, the difference between the two sides would be only 3 points, which would definitely be a heavy blow to Arsenal's morale.

If Wenger is asked to choose between the league and the Champions League, then Wenger will definitely choose the Champions League without hesitation, because he has never won the Champions League, and Arsenal has never won the Champions League.

Therefore, Arsenal must not lose the game against Chelsea. Not only will they basically win the league title, but they can also wholeheartedly prepare for the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid. If they lose, Arsenal need to make a choice, otherwise they may end up empty-handed.

The media began to manipulate the match between Arsenal and Chelsea frantically, but the Arsenal players did not pay much attention to the outside world. Under Wenger's request, the Arsenal players prepared for the game with all their strength.

Arsenal's not making trouble here does not mean that Chelsea's side does not make trouble. Mourinho is a head coach who is very good at psychological warfare. Talking to opponents before the game is Mourinho's strength.

"Arsena is an excellent coach, but it depends on who he compares with," Mourinho said in an interview with an arrogant face.

Speaking of the grievances between the two, it started when Mourinho took over Chelsea. At that time, Wenger pointed out that Mourinho's coaching style was too utilitarian. Mourinho countered that Wenger was a voyeur.

The conflict between the two escalated in 07. Mourinho satirized Wenger for interfering too much in his team, and then Wenger scolded Mourinho for being "stupid".

After Mourinho left, the grievances between the two came to an end temporarily, but after Mourinho entered the palace for the second time and returned to Chelsea, the grievances between the two were staged again. In the first round of this season, the two almost staged a real-life PK.

In the first round, Wenger was dissatisfied with the referee's penalty and complained to the fourth official. Mourinho naturally wouldn't just watch, and then the two turned from spraying each other into pushing and shoving. Fortunately, the fourth official stepped forward in time, otherwise the pushing and shoving would have turned into a fight.

Therefore, Arsenal's ability to overtake Chelsea in the standings this season and even widen the point difference to 12 points is a very proud thing for Wenger.

But Wenger also knows that Arsenal is still not as good as Chelsea in the real round. Although Wenger will not admit it, he still sees it clearly in his heart. This is why Wenger is unwilling to talk to Mourinho before the game.

As far as the current Premier League is concerned, in terms of understanding of Mourinho, no one can compare with Wenger. There is a saying, the person who knows you best is often your enemy.

It is also because of understanding that Wenger has to stop his disciples from standing up to respond to Mourinho's provocation, because Wenger is afraid that his disciples will be influenced by Mourinho.

Even for the final championship, Wenger himself is not prepared to ignore Mourinho, because for this upcoming game, Wenger's primary pursuit is not victory.

As Mourinho knows, Arsenal will still be involved in the Champions League. Arsenal itself is not strong. If the Champions League is so involved, Arsenal will definitely not be able to face Chelsea in the best condition.

Winning Chelsea is very tempting, but Wenger knows that winning Chelsea is not an easy task. Instead of setting the goal so high, it is better to pursue a more realistic goal.

Wenger has already considered very clearly that Arsenal does not actually need to beat Chelsea, as long as a draw is enough, the gap of 6 points seems small, but there are only a few rounds in the league, and instead of fighting Chelsea, it is better to win the make-up match with Saunders in a few days.

Chelsea is a championship team, and Sanders is a relegation team. It is clear at a glance which is stronger and weaker.
