Explosive shooting at full level at the beginning, the arrival of the British Emperor Star

At the post-match press conference, Wenger said with a smile: "I can't say whether this is the night I am most proud of, but after this game, I believe your players will be proud of being in this team. Feel proud."

"Our strength is better, and we have more desire to win than our opponents during the game."

"But we can't be complacent because in the next games, we will definitely encounter a stronger team than Milan."

"No matter what, the quarterfinals are definitely better than the top [-]."

Sun Ke didn't know why Wenger and Allegri came to terms with each other.

Considering the results of several other games, what the old man said was quite hurtful.

In other games, APOEL from the Cyprus League defeated Lyon 1-0 at home and dragged the opponent into a penalty shootout.

When it comes to penalty shootouts, the gap between professional players is basically negligible.

As a result, APOEL eliminated Lyon through a penalty shootout, causing the biggest upset in the history of the Champions League.

The entire APOEL team is worth less than 1500 million euros, while Lyon is worth 1.5 million euros.

In this situation of great disparity in value, Lyon actually lost.

The old man said that the quarter-finals are better than the top [-] anyway, which was a response to Allegri's remarks that he wanted to end the battle in the first game.

At this time, Allegri had nothing to say and talked about him at the press conference.

The English media laughed at Allegri's bold words before the game, remained silent during the game, and talked nonsense after the game.

In another widely watched game, there was no time to find a head coach. Chelsea, led by assistant coach Di Matteo, gave Naples a 3-1 away game.

Ivanovic defeated Naples in overtime, helping Chelsea eliminate Naples and advance to the quarterfinals.

In this game, Chelsea's senior players showed great combat effectiveness, with Terry, Lampard and Drogba all scoring goals.

Although he already knew the result, Sun Ke was still excited to see it.

If they encounter such a Chelsea team, Arsenal will have no chance of winning and will be restrained by their opponents in terms of style of play.

This season Chelsea is playing better without a head coach than with a head coach.

In other games, Barcelona defeated Bayer Leverkusen 7-1 at home and beat the opponent 10-2 in two rounds.

Bayern defeated Basel 7-0 at home and advanced to the quarterfinals effortlessly.

Real Madrid and Benfica also successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

Olympiacos, who were in the same group as Arsenal in the group stage, lost 1-2 to Inter Milan in an away game and advanced to the quarterfinals relying on away goal advantage.

As a result, all three Serie A teams that advanced to the knockout rounds were eliminated.

The quarter-finals are out, with two teams left in La Liga and the Premier League, and one team left in the Bundesliga.

The Portuguese Super League, Cyprus League, and Greek Super League each have one team advance to the quarterfinals.

The money APOEL earned in the Champions League this season is estimated to be enough for them to spend two or three years.

The day after the knockout rounds, UEFA once again organized the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals.

The draw results for the quarter-finals will directly divide the two halves, and also determine the wide range of the semi-finals.

This time, Sun Ke went home and sat in front of the TV, waiting to see the results of the quarterfinals.

If they could meet APOEL, it would be equivalent to a walk-off in the semifinals.

At the lottery ceremony, the head coaches of the other seven teams all hoped to get this gift package.

In the previous life, after Milan eliminated Arsenal, it seemed that they were drawn together with Barcelona.

If so, it will be difficult for Arsenal.

In the previous two seasons, Arsenal fell to the "Cosmos" in the knockout rounds of the Champions League.

Sun Ke still had a glimmer of hope, but it turned out that Arsenal took Milan's script.

Arsenal were drawn against Barcelona, ​​and it was home first and then away. This was definitely not a good draw.

In the other three groups, Chelsea drew Benfica, and they were lucky.

Bayern was drawn against Olympiakos. Even if the Greek giants try their best, they may end up with a half-deserved outcome.

Real Madrid's luck is not generally good, they were drawn against APOEL.

Arsenal and Chelsea were drawn into the same half. Even if both teams advance to the quarter-finals, only one team can reach the final.

Real Madrid and Bayern were divided into the other half, and the situation was already clear.

The games between the two teams are on March 3 and April 28 respectively.

Although Arsenal only have two events left in the second half of the season, the schedule is not easy either.

Every Champions League game means a double match that week.

For Sun Ke, the Premier League is definitely more important than the Champions League this season.

It is impossible for him to leave 20 points of attributes untouched, but to focus all his energy on Barcelona.

impossible!

Even if they are given a task, with Arsenal's current strength, it will be difficult to defeat teams of the same level as Barcelona, ​​Chelsea and Bayern at the same time.

Five days after the end of the Champions League, Arsenal welcomed Newcastle, ranked sixth this season, at home.

From a financial perspective, the current Newcastle team and the tycoon Newcastle team 12 years later are basically two different worlds.

At the beginning of this season, Newcastle coach Alan Pardew used the "huge money" from selling Carroll to buy Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Demba Ba and Cisse, transforming Newcastle from a mid-table team in the Premier League. The team became a team competing for four.

This wave of operations is highly regarded in the entire history of the Premier League.

Because after Carol went to Liverpool, she focused all her energy on women and was basically useless.

Using one useless person in exchange for four good players, this wave is a huge profit.

At the pre-match press conference, Wenger praised Alan Pardew for the changes he had brought to Newcastle.

"If you look at the points they have now, it's amazing, no one expected them to get as many points as they did."

"They've made great signings in a very efficient way and some players who were completely unknown at the start of the season are now household names."

"They are stronger than when we first met and so are we. We can't be bothered by Newcastle, we have to play at our own pace."

"If we play to our level we have a good chance of winning and we have to stay focused when we are on a winning streak."

Alan Pardew also lamented at the press conference: "To be honest, at the beginning of the season, I didn't believe that Arsenal would be 27 points ahead of No. [-] at this time."

"The players and I were very unwilling to lose to our opponent at home."

"When we meet again, we are already at a clear disadvantage."

"Arsenal is definitely the best team in the Premier League so far and far better than any other team."

"But football is full of surprises and Newcastle will not be weak against any team."

When Sun Ke was mentioned, Alan Pardew said with emotion: "This transfer has completely changed Arsenal. Many people are talking about Robin's goal, but what really brought Arsenal to this point is That kid."

"If it was foreseeable that Sun Ke would perform as he does now, I think all Premier League clubs would wave their money and smash this kid down."

"But this assumption just reflects Arsene's vision. He bought a world-class player for 700 million. This is amazing!"

......

3 month 13 day.

Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal welcomed Newcastle, who have been extremely vigorous this season, at home.

This game is the last game to start in this round.

In the league match two days ago, Manchester United defeated West Bromwich Albion 2-0 at home and still followed Arsenal quietly.

Manchester City suffered an upset loss to Swansea.

Under the huge pressure brought by Arsenal, Manchester City missed consecutive opportunities in the away game.

At the last moment of the game, Manchester City players exposed their disadvantage of not having championship experience.

The more they played, the more anxious they became, and the more anxious they became, the more chaotic they became. In the end, they were stolen by Swansea. In the end, they unfortunately lost to Swansea, which ranked No. 13 in the Premier League.

Before the game started, Wenger said to the players: "Manchester City lost, you should especially want to win this game and then widen the gap with them."

"If you play with this idea, it will bring you huge frustration if you lose the game."

"In my experience, winning or losing a game will not affect the overall situation at all. The league is very long and every team will make mistakes."

"If we don't win the game, winning the next game won't affect the outcome."

"I ask you to focus on the game and not think about the standings or the upcoming games."

The Arsenal players responded enthusiastically. After the game started, Sun Ke put all other distracting thoughts behind him according to what the old man said.

The two teams entered into a high-speed attack from the first minute of the game.

Arsenal wants to win the championship and Newcastle want to enter the Champions League. Players from both sides are like male animals in estrus, charging and beating each other.

In the 5th minute, Van Persie received a pass from Arteta in the middle of the penalty area.

I have to say that the Ta instructor is indeed up to the mark, and at this time, his sense of propriety under his feet is still extremely good.

But Van Persie was a bit out of luck. The Dutch striker actually stopped the ball behind him at the critical moment.

Newcastle defender Williamson blocked Van Persie and prepared to give the ball to the goalkeeper.

As a result, this guy was a little nervous and accidentally touched the football with his foot.

Goalkeeper Krul made a wonderful save from close range, saving Van Persie's shovel shot from the bottom line.

The two teams continued to run and bomb, and each got two good scoring opportunities in the first 10 minutes.

In the 14th minute, Arsenal made the first mistake.

After Koscielny got the ball in the penalty area, he did not pass it to Song, but went directly to Sun Ke.

Tiote, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly accelerated and stopped the football instantly like a porcupine.

Sun Ke realized something was wrong and chased after him. The moment Tiote stopped the ball, he tackled him to the ground from the side.

This tackle didn't look at the ball at all, it was aimed directly at the person.

But after Tiote fell, Obertan got the ball and passed it to Ben Alpha on the right.

Newcastle's attacking midfielder shook off the nervous Koscielny on the right and scored from the near corner.

0: 1!

Sun Ke was also given a yellow card by the referee.

His mood was not greatly affected.

This is Arsenal's fourth consecutive league game behind.

The first three games were reversed, so this game cannot be reversed?

What are you afraid of?

It's done!

Back at halftime, Sun Ke approached Van Persie and said: "After the kick-off, give me the ball, I will charge once, and you run towards the penalty area!"

Looking back, Sun Ke also gave Walcott a warning: "As soon as the ball kicks off, run towards the frontcourt as hard as you can!"
