Chapter 854
(Second update, asking for a monthly pass)

After Li Huan scored in the 88th minute, he still firmly controlled the situation on the field. Although Liverpool desperately wanted to counterattack, they could no longer recover from Arsenal's solid defense and sharp counterattack. In the end, Arsenal scored 2 goals at home. :1 Lectra beat Liverpool and won the 300th victory of Wenger's coaching career. Li Huan completed his high-profile comeback with a lore. After Liverpool failed, they fell out of the semi-finals and continued to sink in the league.

After the game, Liverpool coach Benitez believed that Liverpool should get a penalty, but Li Huan's supplementary shot was suspected of being offside, Benitez said: "I think so, I think it is a very obvious penalty. The referee keeps telling my players to be careful and don't raise their hands too high. It's unbelievable after watching the video, how could he not see that ball from Vermaelen. I don't think we can analyze the game based on this one call ... Arsenal played well but Liverpool deserved at least a point for their performance."

When Wenger talked about the ball, he said: "Yes, maybe it was a hand, but the problem is that Rafa and I only knew that it was hit on the arm after watching the video after the game. There are so many people in the penalty area. It is normal for the referee to see clearly. Judging from our performance, we are worthy of the three points."

Wenger thinks this game is very difficult, but it is the difficult game that can better reflect the ability of Arsenal players. He said: "Liverpool played very well. Today's game is very difficult, but we refuse to accept it. Draw, we're going to come back with a convincing game. Liverpool did a good job going forward, Steven Gerrard kept dribbling, they were dangerous. But we defended well, He has strong adaptability and decisive action. In the end, Li Huan's appearance brought us efficiency, and he scored a decisive goal. It was an extremely meaningful night for the club. We left Chelsea with 10 points, It’s a good championship situation for us.”

Li Huan's comeback is a hot topic. Both coaches talked about it. Benitez said: "I have never seen a player who can improve the strength of the team like Li Huan, even the world champion Maradona and Neither can Pele, because they are all players in the midfield, and Li Huan is a defender, a defender who scored more than 20 goals in the half. His goal is a fatal blow to us. For those teams that want to win, Li Huan His comeback is bad news."

Wenger said: "The loss of Li Huan has caused us great difficulties. We have lost our deterrence to our opponents on the wing. Fortunately, the team has performed well recently. Let us continue to move forward on the road of our dreams. Now Li Huan He came back, he used great perseverance to make himself come back a week early, and maintained a good state, which is a happy event for the team and the fans, because we will start the Champions League knockout game soon, Porto is a team A very strong team, Li Huan's comeback will give us the confidence to face a two-lane battle."

Li Huan came back ahead of time, and when he came back, he eliminated the Red Army Liverpool, making Chelsea and Manchester United lose their goal of narrowing the score in the Devil's schedule. Chelsea was also upset by Everton. Two Merseyside teams, one sent points, A sniper, he just helped Arsenal get rid of their rivals in the same city, Chelsea.With 12 rounds left and 10 points behind, Chelsea's title race has basically come to an end.Now the only thing that can still bite Arsenal and prevent them from relaxing is Manchester United. However, the 7-point gap makes Manchester United only rely on Arsenal's habitual drop-off at the end of each season. The initiative is no longer in their hands. .

Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti said helplessly after receiving the news that Arsenal defeated Liverpool, "We can only expect a miracle to win the championship. The gap of 10 points is very huge. Our performance this season is already very good. In previous seasons, scoring 26 points in the 62 rounds was basically enough to win the championship, but now it has almost lost hope of winning the championship. We can only say that Arsenal are too strong this season. But we will not give up the league, and we will continue to work hard. Then see what happens next."

The old Jazz of Manchester United is still cheering for himself. He said: "Arsenal's victory is bad news for us. 7 points means three games. If Arsenal maintains the current state, it will be difficult for us to catch up. On top of that, we hope that the next Champions League game will make a difference."

"The Sun" thought after the game that although many people are still expecting Arsenal to lose the chain habitually, the possibility of this is actually very small. People who have this kind of thinking may still be immersed in the past. Na is very different from the past. Tough, tenacious, bloody, these adjectives that were originally used to describe Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool can now be used on the Gunners. "The Sun" said: As long as Li Huan no longer suffers from injuries, the possibility of Arsenal losing the chain is very small. The Chinese have brought perseverance to Arsenal.

The "Daily Mail" highly commented on Professor Wenger who won 300 league victories, "Arsena Wenger's name is destined to be associated with Arsenal. Firstly, the names are similar, and secondly, it is naturally the results. During the 13 years that the Trasburg native has been in charge of Arsenal, he has won 11 major and minor championships, led the team to play 773 games, and won 450 of them. Sitting as the number one coach of the Arsenal team for more than 300 years, and today's victory against Liverpool, no more, no less, just happened to be the 0304 league wins since Wenger led the team. Fans are optimistic about the possibility: double-killing Liverpool = winning the championship without defeat! It is no longer a dream for Arsenal to replicate the miracle of [-], as long as they are careful and have a little luck, no team behind them can beat them."

When analyzing the league situation, the more rigorous "Times" believes that Arsenal has basically won the championship, and their goal should be on the Champions League, which they have never won, because from the perspective of the subsequent schedule, Arsenal will be able to Man Utd and Chelsea, who threatened him, were much more relaxed.

In the following 7 matches, Arsenal will all face the relegation ranks, in order: home to Sunderland, away to Stoke City, home to Burnley, away to Hull City, home to West Ham, away to Birmingham , against Wolves at home, if we only talk about strength, there is no problem for Arsenal to win seven consecutive victories in one go.

As for Arsenal's biggest rivals, Chelsea and Manchester United, the schedule for the next 7 games is much tougher than Arsenal's. Chelsea's second game is against Manchester City, the sixth game is against Villa, and the seventh game is against Manchester United. And Manchester United will face Everton, who has been climbing all the way in the next game. The fifth game is against Liverpool, and the seventh game is against Chelsea. The difficulty of these games is much stronger than that of Arsenal. Manchester United is still slightly It's better, because these three games were played at Old Trafford, and Chelsea was basically OVER.

In addition, Arsenal has two advantages. Arsenal does not have the interference of the FA Cup, and the team does not have to take away the lantern games.In addition, in the UEFA Champions League 16-to-8 competition, Arsenal drew a relatively favorable lottery. When they met Porto, compared with Chelsea and Manchester United who were going to face the Milan duo, the energy consumed by Arsenal in the Champions League was relatively small. It was a two-lane battle. It is very likely that it is not Arsenal who have lost the chain, but Manchester United and Chelsea.

The league has entered the sprint stage, and the "Guardian" has already started to prepare for the summary in advance. The reporter talked about the record that Arsenal may create this season, "With 26 points in 72 rounds, Arsenal still has 12 points in 36 rounds. If Arsenal plays normally, it should be no problem to become the first team to win 0304% of the championship; so far, Arsenal has not lost in the league, and it is by no means impossible to replicate the unbeaten myth of the 26 season. If Manchester United lacks stamina, Arsenal Nana may also break his own record of winning four rounds in advance. In terms of personal record, Li Huan scored 31 goals in 34 rounds, almost locked in the league's top scorer in advance, and broke the league record of [-] goals held by Shearer is just around the corner. With a bit of luck, Arsenal may even have a chance to win their first Big Ears Cup in their history."

The entire British Isles are talking about when Arsenal will win the championship, and they can win the championship a few rounds in advance. At this time, Professor Wenger said that the whole team should calm down. The league is not over yet. There are still 12 rounds and 36 points. They only lead No.2 Manchester United with 7 points. It is very dangerous to talk about winning the championship now. Only by carefully preparing for each game can we get good results in the end. Professor Wenger believes that the competition for the Premier League has always been very fierce. The year can be described as tragic, proud and careless, and if you take it lightly, you will definitely stumble.Arsenal lost the league in the past mainly because they couldn't win the middle and lower teams, not because they lost points in the games against Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool.

However, the chairman of the club, Lord Hillwood, holds a different view from Professor Wenger. Hillwood publicly stated that Arsenal's goal this season is the double crown. The old man said: "We are in the best position in Arsenal's history. The moment has never been so good, the league is leading No. 27 points, and the Champions League will play Porto. I think the opportunity for Arsenal to dominate the Premier League and Europe has come. We must seize it. Professor Wenger also has the strength to seize this opportunity."

In such a good situation, the club's owner, Kroenke, who has been hiding behind the scenes, also expressed his expectations for the club through the media, "Champions! The team needs champions, Arsenal fans need champions, no matter one or two, We need to end the trophyless era. The players will be rewarded handsomely for their hard work, I can be sure of that."

Although Wenger emphasized the calmness of the team, in private, Wenger's goal is also to win the double crown. After the boss promised a reward, Arsenal's players were excited and geared up for the upcoming Champions League. After taking a breath, now their focus is on the Champions League knockout.
