Chapter 406 Choices and Accidents

A draw at home to Atletico Madrid was a wake-up call for Arsenal.At the same time, it made Wenger entangled.

This game has shown well that Arsenal are not capable enough to aspire to two titles.

The Europa League or the Premier League, Arsenal must make a choice.

In the Europa League, a draw is actually a disadvantage for Arsenal.In the second leg at the home court of Atletico Madrid, the outcome is unpredictable.The ideal winning rate will not exceed half.

Moreover, it is only the semi-finals.Even if they successfully pass the Atletico Madrid level, there is still the final waiting.Whether it will succeed in winning the championship in the end, only God knows.

Another problem is that every extra game played in the Europa League will bring an extra point disadvantage to Arsenal in the league.

But the Premier League is Arsenal's most likely to win.At present, with the last three rounds left in the game, they have a very high chance of winning the championship with a two-point lead.As long as they don't lose the chain in the last three games, it's fine.

On the one hand, there is great hope, on the other hand, the prospect is unpredictable.Compared with the two, Wenger is actually very clear about how to choose.

It's just that the temptation of the Europa League is indeed great.Plus boss Kroenke has a big appetite and swallows both.This made it difficult for Wenger to make a decision.

Fortunately, Wenger is not that kind of blind person.After weighing again and again, he still made a choice and decided to give up the temptation of the Europa League.

After making the decision, Wenger relieved himself somewhat.And he was honest.After deciding to give up the Europa League, he talked openly and honestly with the players about this decision.

Although the players were a little unwilling to give up the Europa League, they also understood that this was a last resort.

Yang Daye agrees with Wenger's decision.As far as Arsenal's defense is far inferior to Atletico Madrid's, the hope of victory is really slim in the away game.Instead of wasting energy, it is better to attack the league with all your strength.This is a wise choice.

I want to return to think so.In fact, if possible, Yang Daye also wants to fight for it in the Europa League.

In this way, after Wenger unified the team's thinking, Arsenal put all their resources in the Premier League.

After only one day of rest, Arsenal immediately ushered in the Premier League game.

This is No.30's six-round match, and they are going away to challenge Huddersfield.

It can be seen from this game interval how much the Europa League has involved the energy of the Arsenal team.

What makes Arsenal a little more relieved is that Huddersfield is a weak team that is relegation.Of course, the downside is that the Huddersfield team is desperately trying to avoid relegation.Therefore, such an opponent is not a strong team, but it cannot be taken lightly.

On the day of the game, after careful consideration, Wenger did not send all the main players. Instead, he chose to rest Ozil and several other main players whose physical condition was not ideal.

And Yang Daye, as the person with the fastest recovery ability and the best physical fitness in the team, naturally missed the rotation.To be honest, if it wasn't because of Yang Daye's support, Wenger would not have dared to take such rotations anyway.

After the game started, Wenger was still a little nervous at the bottom of his heart, with the Arsenal team playing with half of the main force.

Fortunately, Wilshere, who replaced Ozil, is more effective when he is healthy.Fortunately, Wilshere, who has always had the attributes of a glass man, has not been injured this season.

Wilshere is not much worse than Ozil in terms of possession organization.With him present, Yang Daye didn't need to worry about the organization.He and Aubameyang can focus on attacking.

The opponents of this game, the Hudesfield team, are also working hard at their home court.It's just that the difference in strength makes them only play defense and counterattack.The initiative of the game has always been in the hands of Arsenal.

Mastering the initiative in the game is what Yang Daye prefers.He doesn't have that much confidence in his team's defense. In his opinion, it is better to use offense instead of defense to suppress the opponent.

Since having a powerful center like Aubameyang, Yang Daye is no longer worried about the opponent's main defense.Therefore, the Huddersfield team's approach is exactly in the hands of Yang Daye.

In order to keep the team sufficiently suppressed, Yang Daye would force his opponent whenever he had the opportunity.

After nearly a season of growth, Yang Daye is now the most feared striker in the Premier League.At present, he has already surpassed Salah, Hazard, Sane and others to become the breakthrough king of the Premier League.

Only one player has reached the shallow gold level of the home team's defense, which is almost like a piece of paper in front of Yang Daye.Even if the Huddersfield team defended with two people, Yang Daye failed to tear through their defense time and time again.

In the first half, Yang Daye used a cross after a breakthrough to help Aubameyang score a goal.

In the second half, Yang Daye made another penalty with a breakthrough and hit it himself.

After achieving a two-goal lead, Arsenal's winning percentage was stabilized.Wenger quickly asked Yang Daye and Aubameyang to rest.Let Lacazette and Talisca go up and stretch their muscles.

After Yang Daye came down to rest, his teammates did not disappoint him.Firmly maintained the score until the end of the game.

Successfully won the game.The Arsenal team can be regarded as temporarily relieved, and can rest for two days.

It is a pity that the Manchester City team did not lose the chain.They beat West Ham United 4-1 in the same round.

The hard-working West Ham United was beaten 4:1 by these two teams in turn, and there was no reason for it.

After two days of rest, the Arsenal team moved to Madrid.

Because it has decided to abandon the Europa League and focus on the league, this expedition to Madrid, most of the main players were left in London by Wenger.Except Yang Daye.

Wenger originally wanted Yang Daye to stay.After asking, Wenger chose to take Yang Daye with him at Yang Daye's insistence.

Yang Daye is now the source of Wenger's confidence.With Yang Daye around, he can feel at ease.

For the second round between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, the outside world is still looking forward to a big fight.It was only after seeing the members of the Arsenal team that the outside world understood Arsenal's plans.

"Ozil didn't come, neither did Aubameyang, only Wilshere and Lacazette came, Arsenal is giving up the rhythm of the Europa League."

"Wenger is planning to fight for the Premier League title with all his strength."

"Wenger's doing this is also a wise choice. The depth of Arsenal's bench is too poor. It is beyond everyone's expectations to play to this extent. It is actually a waste of time to give up the Europa League, which has little hope. Quite the right thing to do."

Regarding Wenger's choice, the outside world did not criticize him much, but many people thought he was very decisive.And Yang Daye followed to Madrid, and the outside world also thought that he just followed.Most likely won't play.

Regarding Wenger's approach, Arsenal fans are more polarized.Some people objected to this, thinking it was a cowardly act and unsportsmanlike.Some people are more supportive, thinking that Arsenal's bench ability is here, and an appropriate trade-off is necessary.Arsenal have only shown signs of revival this season, so don't be too greedy.

Regardless of what the outside world thinks, Wenger's decision is already impossible to change.Even the boss Kroenke called to question after knowing the situation, but it failed to change Wenger's mind.

Seeing that Arsenal's determination to abandon the Europa League cannot be changed, the outside world has lost a lot of interest in this game.Think the outcome of this game is almost doomed.The remaining suspense is: "How many goals will Arsenal concede in this game?"

For the results of the game, the outside world has little interest.Instead, I am more interested in whether Yang Daye will play and how long he will play.

"Yang, probably won't play."

"Even if there is an appearance, it is probably only a substitute. After all, Wenger has given up this game, so there is no need to risk the possibility of possible injuries to core players."

The outside world generally believes that Yang Daye is unlikely to play in this game.Because it is really unnecessary.

It didn't take long for people to wait, and the game day came soon.

And when Arsenal's starting roster was announced, the outside world was surprised.Yang Daye actually appeared in the starting list.

"Yang starts? What's the situation? Didn't Wenger agree to give up the game?"

"It's really incomprehensible. If you want to give up the game, why do you still let Yang start?"

"Could it be that Wenger is actually playing a big game of chess?"

"It's very possible. Look at Arsenal's starting lineup today. There are Young, Wilshere, and Lacazette on the front line, plus the former main force Iwobi. This is not like giving up the game. ?”

"This is simply Wenger's plan!"

plan?Want to have more children.Wenger just couldn't hold back Yang Daye's insistence, so he had to let him play halftime.

We all know that the team has given up on this game, and Yang Daye still insists on this, but he is not willing to give up easily.

At first, he didn't have much thought of playing.It's just that when he saw Griezmann and other opponents, he really couldn't suppress the desire to compete with these strong opponents.

Atletico Madrid, who knew about Arsenal's situation, didn't feel that Wenger was playing any tricks.Therefore, they did not send all the main players in this game.Several main players from the previous game were placed on the bench.

Soon, the game also started.

After the game started, Atletico Madrid took the lead in launching the offensive.

Originally, Atletico Madrid had planned to be more cautious.But after knowing the situation of the Arsenal team, they relaxed.Even the Arsenal team wanted to give in, and they had no reason not to accept it.

As for Arsenal, due to the absence of many main players, Wenger was worried that he would be kicked too badly, so he chose a defensive counterattack strategy.

Arsenal's approach quickly aroused Atletico Madrid's desire to attack.After the trial at the beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid began to relax and attack boldly.

Not to mention, Atletico Madrid has the strength advantage after all.Even with the lack of a few main players from the previous game, they can still crush most of the Arsenal team that played from the bench in terms of strength.

After Atletico Madrid let go of their hands and feet to attack, Arsenal immediately fell into a passive attack.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"..."

The constant bangs caused the Atletico fans at home to shout excitedly.

Atletico Madrid's offensive is really fierce.Wave after wave, the Arsenal team was almost out of breath.

If it weren't for Arsenal's defensive and counterattack style of play, it is estimated that it would collapse in less than 10 minutes.

But even if almost the whole team retreated to the penalty area, it was very hard.I don't know how long I can carry it.

As time went by, Atletico Madrid became more and more excited to play, and the offense became more and more joyful.

Seeing that the Arsenal team is likely to be overwhelmed.At this time, the Arsenal team was struggling to defend, and the defender tried his best to clear the ball.Originally, this rescue was nothing, and it didn't go far, it was less than the middle circle.

However, it allowed Lacazette to continue to make a clearance during the fight.Seeing this, Yang Daye, who was about to move forward and press down, rushed forward with all his might.I hope to put pressure on this and let Atletico Madrid's offense be interrupted so that my side can take a breather.

Unexpectedly, perhaps because of Yang Daye's forward rush and pressure, the two defenders who were lagging behind somehow failed to top the ball well and did not hold the ball.

Yang Daye's pressure was extremely fast. In a panic, the defender made a clearance, but unexpectedly hit Yang Daye.The ball bounced high and bounced towards the penalty area.

Seeing this, Yang Daye took advantage of his faster speed to jump over the defender and run into the penalty area.Seeing this, the goalkeeper was also forced to rush out.

The goalkeeper came out in time, and while the ball was still in the air, it had already rushed to Yang Daye.Not only blocked all the angles of Yang Daye, but also made Yang Daye unable to unload the ball.

But at this time, Yang Daye jumped into the air first, leaning sideways in the air with his heels and heels.The football rises again and passes over the goalkeeper's raised hands above his head.Then, slowly fly to the goal.

GOAL!!!!
The Madrid fans at home instantly fell silent.

We were scored by Arsenal?

Yes!

"Ah!! We scored a goal!!! Oh my god, we have scored the lead!" Wenger was stunned for a second or two before standing up and cheering.

The goal came as a surprise.Not only the Atletico Madrid team didn't expect it, even Wenger, the Arsenal coach, didn't expect it.

Yang Daye also couldn't believe that he just scored a goal when he scored a goal.He's just doing his best.Unexpectedly, God favored him so much.

Of course, it may also be that God favors Arsenal.

This goal is definitely a surprise for Arsenal.Therefore, everyone seemed very happy.

With this goal, even if the game is eventually lost, it is enough.

However, the Arsenal team also understand.This goal will only make them suffer from more crazy attacks from Atletico Madrid.

After the celebration, Yang Daye and his teammates retreated to the backcourt.Soon, they really ushered in the crazy attack of Atletico Madrid.A more ferocious offensive than before.

Encouraged by the goal, Arsenal also played more tenaciously.Before, they kicked with the idea that they would lose, but now they have hope.

After hope.Most of the Arsenal players who were substitutes broke out with amazing combat effectiveness and began to desperately stop the opponent's attack.

Under the desperate pursuit and interception of the Arsenal team, they unexpectedly survived the first half.
