Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 375 The Second Champion

Today's London belongs to Arsenal. After the awards ceremony, Arsenal fans began to flock to the streets of London, completely occupying the largest city in Europe.

Fans can celebrate crazily, but Arsenal's players are not good enough. Although the league is over, the season is not over yet. This season, Arsenal has the opportunity to chase the triple crown, but they have only won the first championship so far.

Although you can't celebrate wildly, you still have to celebrate. After leaving the stadium, everyone at Arsenal came to the hotel that the club had already booked.

This evening, the Arsenal players can celebrate as much as they want, but after tonight, the Arsenal players must focus on the next two finals.

When they arrived at the hotel, almost all the club's top management had arrived. Even the team owner from the United States flew to the UK on purpose. Li Shou didn't have a good impression of this team owner.

In fact, to be honest, most Arsenal people don't have a good impression of this boss, especially the Arsenal fans, who hate him very much.

After a few polite words with the boss, Li Shou focused on the food. After a game, Li Shou was still a little hungry. As the team's celebration banquet, the food would definitely not be too bad.

Compared to Li Shou who focused on food, other players focused more on alcohol, so when the celebration banquet ended, most of them were helped to leave.

But these had nothing to do with Li Shou. After filling his stomach, he left with Shamali and Li Jiajia. Since it was the team's celebration banquet, the players' families would naturally attend.

Winning the league championship is a very happy thing, not to mention that this is Li Shou's first Premier League championship, but Li Shou has greater ambitions.

He wants to win the FA Cup, win the Champions League, lead Arsenal to become the second team in the Premier League to win the Triple Crown, and win Messi and Barcelona to become the new king of world football.

So Li Shou showed restraint, and in order to prepare for the next FA Cup final, Li Shou even spent his holidays on the training ground. After the match with West Brom, Wenger gave the players two days off.

The opponent in the FA Cup final is Aston Villa, which is a typical mid-lower team. Although Aston Villa once also served as a crap stick in the league, that was a long time ago.

Aston Villa was almost relegated this season. At the end of the season, they ranked No. 17 in the standings, only a line away from the relegation zone.

At the end of the two-day holiday, Arsenal began to prepare for Aston Villa with all their strength. Although Villa's performance this season does not seem to threaten them at all, Arsenal still dare not be careless in the slightest.

This is a final. Perhaps for Arsenal, winning the championship is just for the glory of the Triple Crown, but for Villa it is far more than that.

In addition to the glory of the championship, the FA Cup championship is also a ticket to the European War and the Europa League ticket. The giants may not look down on the Europa League, but for the middle and lower reaches of the team, the Europa League is no less attractive than the Champions League.

The competition for the Champions League is too fierce, and the middle and lower teams cannot have a chance, but the Europa League is different. If you are lucky, you may even create miracles.

Wembley Stadium, the home of the England national team, the venue of the England domestic cup final, a stadium that can accommodate 9 people, is also the largest stadium in England.

Wembley Stadium is actually half home for Arsenal, because the stadium is located in London, and because Arsenal has won the league championship and has a chance to hit the treble, there must be more Arsenal fans entering the stadium to watch the game than Villa.

I even dare to say that, if there is no regulation on the number of tickets for both parties, these [-] seats may be filled by Arsenal fans.

Arsenal's performance this season has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of fans to watch the game. The strength of the two teams in this final is completely unequal, and Arsenal's chances of winning the championship are very high.

This is indeed the case. Before the start of the game, the stadium, which can accommodate 9 people, was full. Among them, there are almost twice as many Arsenal fans as Villa fans.

"Let me just say this game, win the game and win our second championship this season," Wenger said while looking at the disciples in the dressing room.

They are all Premier League teams, and they are all too familiar with each other, so there is no need for so-called temptations.

Arsenal's performance after the start of the game also proved this point. There is a gap in strength between the two sides. Arsenal's current morale is at a peak state, so the tactic of this game is to attack, and strive to seal the victory in the first half.

Compared with Arsenal's strength, Villa chose to retreat in an all-round way. The goal of Villa's head coach is very clear, to retreat in an all-round way, and try to drag the game into a penalty shootout.

Although Li Shou has not missed a point kick so far, Li Shou has not made many point kicks, so Villa put all their hopes on the final penalty kick, because it is impossible to beat Arsenal with normal offense and defense.

Chelsea can't do it, Manchester City can't do it, Manchester United and Liverpool can't do it, and even the major European giants can't do it, let alone Villa.

Villa has self-knowledge, but self-knowledge can't really help them get the results they want, although Villa did very well in the first three 10 minutes.

For the entire 10 minutes, Villa shot with one kick, and the rest of the time was almost suppressed by Arsenal at halftime, and this tactic of placing the bus did allow Villa to persist for 10 minutes.

But it lasted for 10 minutes, No. 301 minutes, Barker's foul gave Arsenal a free kick, and it was a free kick nearly 32 meters away from the goal.

It stands to reason that this position is actually relatively safe, but don't forget that Arsenal has a player who is very good at long distances.

Originally, Li Shou was not going to go up to take the penalty, but Wenger couldn't bear it and signaled for Li Shou to go up. Facing Villa's bus-positioning tactics, a free kick is a very good chance to score.

Seeing Li Shou walking up, the Villars tensed up immediately. Unfortunately, their tense nerves had no effect on Li Shou, but after Li Shou placed the ball, he only had Villa's goal in his eyes.

At this moment, the referee's whistle was so harsh to Villa, it was like a death knell.

On the contrary, it was a sound of nature for Arsenal, because Li Shou kicked the ball and flew towards Villa's goal, then passed the goalkeeper and flew into the goal.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~ Li~~~ Li scored again" This is Li Shou's first goal in the FA Cup and his third goal recently.
