Chapter 466 Europa League semi-final
Arsenal have not had a good time recently due to their three-game losing streak in the league. There are only the last two rounds left in the Premier League. However, Arsenal only ranks fifth, although it is only 2 points lower than Chelsea, which is fourth.

However, most people are not optimistic about Arsenal, because Arsenal's state has been too sluggish recently. On the other hand, Chelsea, although they have experienced difficult times, have performed very well recently.

Especially after Song Xuefeng joined, Chelsea's strength has indeed improved significantly, which made Chelsea fans who previously questioned the introduction of Song Xuefeng slowly began to accept Song Xuefeng.

And if Arsenal is in such a downturn, they may not be able to play in the Champions League next season. We all know how important the Champions League is to these giants in the five major leagues.

There are too many players who eventually left the team because the team did not have a Champions League match. If they do not enter the Champions League next season, then Arsenal may face the departure of players.

So the Europa League is very important to Arsenal, because the winner of the Europa League champion can participate in the Champions League next season, so Arsenal attaches great importance to this game.

In the press conference before the game, although the Spaniard was playing away and against the powerful Arsenal, Yu Tianshen was not very nervous as the head coach, but seemed very relaxed.

However, what Yu Tian didn't expect was that many reporters asked about Chen Chen's future. Everyone knew that Chen Chen was on loan from the Spaniard, and this season was almost over.

But Yu Tian couldn't figure out why he was discussing Chen Chen's future now. Yu Tian didn't know that there was already a team for Chen Chen, like Real Madrid had already expressed their desire for Chen Chen.

Immediately afterwards, Juventus, Manchester City and Manchester United all hope to introduce Chen Chen. The advantage of Juventus and Manchester United is that they have a Chinese player in their team, and they can take advantage of this relationship.

Of course Yu Tian couldn't answer the reporters' answers, he could only answer ambiguously.

Seeing that Yu Tian has not answered directly, the reporter began to focus on the next game. After many years, the Spaniard can reach the semi-finals of the Europa League again, and Yu Tian has contributed the most.

Yu Tian bluntly said that since the Spaniard has reached this point, the goal of the Spaniard is the final championship, and the Spaniard has not won the championship for too long.

And Arsenal's coach Emery was not polite, expressing his determination to win, Emery was very confident.

Emery's self-confidence is indeed justified, because in terms of lineup alone, Arsenal is undoubtedly more luxurious.

But Yu Tian is not in vain, because the Spaniard has double-killed Barcelona this season, and Yu Tian will not be afraid because the opponent is Arsenal.

Although the game has not yet started, the stadium is already full of spectators. When the players from both sides came on the field one after another, the England fans kept booing the Spaniard.

The English people are prejudiced against Spanish football. They think that the Spanish players are too soft, they will fall to the ground and foul when touched, and the tactical system is the same.

The Spaniard's players appeared on the stage one after another with huge boos, all of them had serious faces and were determined to defeat their opponents.

. . . . . .

"Hello, audience, welcome to the first leg of the Europa League semi-final, Arsenal vs. Espanyol at home." England's commentator started the commentary.

"Looking at the performances of the two teams in this season's Europa League, the Spaniards first defeated Sporting Lisbon and then eliminated Zenit St. Petersburg. They also won a complete victory against the powerful Valencia."

"As for Arsenal, after qualifying from the group stage, although they lost to Borisov 0-1 in the first round, fortunately they eliminated their opponents 3-0 after returning home. Then they faced the challenge of Rennes. They lost the first leg away as before. After returning home, they broke out and eliminated Rennes. In the quarter-finals, they ushered in the challenge of Naples. Naples can be regarded as the Europa League this season. Arsenal has encountered the strongest opponent. Made it to the semi-finals."

"Okay, let me introduce the starting lineups of the two sides first. First of all, Arsenal, who are at home, officially gave a 3-4-1-2 formation:

Goalkeeper: 1 Cech;

Defenders: 20 Mustafi, 5 Papastathopoulos, 6 Koscielny;
Midfielder: 15 Niles, 29 Guendouzi, 10, 34 Xhaka, 31 Kolasinac;
Forwards: 14 Aubameyang, 9 Lacazette. "

"Then for the Spaniards, the official 4-3-3 formation:

Goalkeeper: 13 Diego Lopez;
Defenders: 22 Canseco, 4 Shuli, 25 Serdar Tashche, 16 Harvey Lopez;
Midfielder: 15 David Lopez, 7 Wang Yandong, 21 Rocca;

Forwards: 10 Chen Chen, 9 Iglesias, 11 Baptistan. "

"Looking at the starting formations of the two sides, it can be seen that neither side has any intention of defending. They are both in an offensive formation. I believe this will be a wonderful battle. Let us wait and see!"

. . . . . .

At this time, the captains of both sides came to the referee team and distributed the ball rights by tossing a coin. Arsenal won the kick-off right.

With the whistle of the referee, the first round of the Europa League semi-finals of the 18-19 season officially began, and Arsenal kicked off and launched an attack.

In fact, Yu Tian was struggling with the tactics of this game. Yu Tian was considering whether to use a five-back formation, because the opponent was Arsenal, and it was Arsenal's home court.

It is absolutely acceptable if this game can be tied, but after thinking about it again and again, Yu Tian decided to use a 4-3-3 formation, and decided to try to attack one attack.

The reason for making this decision is first of all because Arsenal's recent state is really poor. Not only has it lost three games in a row, but also lost four of the last five league rounds.

On the other hand, the Spaniard, because he double-killed his arch-enemy Barcelona, ​​and is currently ranked first in the La Liga standings, the team is full of fighting spirit.

After the start of the game, Arsenal launched an offensive, but the Spaniard's good defense made Arsenal's first attack come back without success.

Instead, the Spaniard launched a counterattack because of this. Wang Yandong, as the core of the organization, accurately found Chen Chen with a long pass. Chen Chen quickly ushered in the defender with two steps.

Chen Chen was not alone, and found that the right side was relatively empty. A wide-range long pass handed the football to Baptistan on the right side, and Baptistan took the ball to the outside of the penalty area.

But Baptistan soon discovered that he couldn't find a pass point. Chen Chen's position was too difficult to pass, and Iglesias ran too deep. Baptistan couldn't pass the ball for a while.

Baptistan was determined and took a long shot, but because Baptistan was at a 45-degree position outside the penalty area, it was difficult to hit the goal from this position. In addition, Baptistan was not prepared enough, and the football flew out of bounds.

Baptistan saw that his shot went flying, and quickly raised his hand to his teammates, indicating that it was his own problem. However, the teammates did not blame Baptistan, because they also knew that Baptistan's ball could not be passed at all.
