Chapter 329: Tit-for-tat post-match press conference
Although Arsenal seized all the time to attack, they failed to knock on Naples' door in the end. Naples defeated the "invading" Premier League giants Arsenal [-]-[-] at their home court.

At the moment when the final whistle sounded, Li Zihan covered his face and fell to the ground, looking very unwilling.

In this way, Naples has accumulated [-] points, and the initiative to qualify is relatively in their own hands.And Arsenal only has nine points, and they have to beat Marseille in the final round to be able to advance.

The results of another game also came out. Dortmund defeated Marseille at home [-]-[-] in the away game, and their points rose from six points to nine points, equal to Arsenal.However, due to the goal difference, Dortmund has one more than Arsenal, ranking second in the group, and Arsenal is third.

In this way, the final round of this death group will be directly concluded. Who will advance to the knockout round together and who will go to the UEFA Cup. As for the least suspenseful thing, Marseille has been kicked out in advance.

But for Arsenal, the result is quite objective.As long as they beat Marseille at home in the last round, Arsenal will accumulate [-] points and still have the possibility of qualifying.Because Dortmund played against Naples in the last round, the two tigers must have an injury when they compete.

It would be easiest if the two teams ended up tied, with Naples with [-] points and Arsenal with [-] points joining hands to advance.If Dortmund loses, it's easy, Naples and Arsenal will advance.And what if Dortmund win?It is more complicated. In this way, Dortmund, Naples, and Arsenal all have [-] points, so it is necessary to compare the goal difference.

Dortmund currently has the highest goal difference. The Hornets scored nine goals in five rounds of the group stage and only conceded four goals.Napoli scored nine goals equally well, but conceded seven goals, while Arsenal only scored seven goals, but conceded only five goals.

Dortmund is now ranked first with a five-goal difference advantage. With the same points, it should have locked a qualifying spot.Both Naples and Arsenal have two goal differences, but considering that if the three teams have the same points and all have twelve points, Dortmund must beat Naples. It is still less now, at least one ball less.And Arsenal has to beat Marseille if they want to accumulate twelve points, so the goal difference will definitely be at least one more.

Comparing each other, Arsenal's road to promotion is still relatively high. With many possibilities, Arsenal's qualifying actually occupies more than half.

Of course, all of this is based on the last round, Arsenal must first win Marseille!
If Marseille wins, then needless to say, even if Dortmund loses there, Arsenal may be out, unless Naples can overwhelm Dortmund with more than five goals, which is obviously unrealistic.

And if there is a tie, unless Dortmund loses, then Arsenal will still advance by one more point.And if Dortmund is also tied, then comparing the goal difference with each other, Dortmund, which already has five goals, basically has no unexpected qualifying.

Therefore, if Arsenal want to qualify, they must first defeat Marseille.Obviously the result between Dortmund and Naples should be considered.

At the post-match press conference, Wenger answered reporters' questions on the appeal theory, and then concluded: "Although it is a pity that we lost this game, this is not the final result. Arsenal's road to promotion is still quite clear. Big one, and the initiative to qualify is still firmly in our own hands, as long as we beat the Ligue [-] powerhouse Marseille in the last round, then there must be a guy named Arsenal among the two names to qualify!"

And Benitez of Naples is naturally not to be outdone: "I don't understand why the losing side still has the initiative. Of course it doesn't matter. The important thing is that we are now the first in the group. Relatively speaking, our chances are obviously higher than that of the team." The chances of second and third in any group are greater."

Then Fatty Bei adjusted his glasses and continued: "Of course, Dortmund is not an easy opponent. We will go all out to win. There is no problem with our lineup and tactics. We can beat Arsenal and Dortmund at the same time." It can be seen from the two teams, so as long as the environment is fair, I don’t think there is any reason for us to lose the game! And Marseille is not a weak team. Although they have not won a game so far, they can play in the Champions League The teams are all championship-level teams, and with five rounds without a win and no points scored, Marseille is bound to rebound, so it's hard to say if the last round is not over yet."

Benitez's psychological tactics are also good, all kinds of tit-for-tat blows.Among them, there are many calls for Marseille to call back their identity as a Ligue [-] champion contender, and to launch a big counterattack against Arsenal in the last round. Otherwise, if you have not won a game and got zero duck eggs in six games, you are ashamed to become a Ligue [-] giant. European powerhouse?
For Marseille, the top three regulars in Ligue [-], this is obviously not the record they deserve.

In the post-match press conference of another game, Klopp said with a tacit understanding: "Yes, facing Naples in the last round is not a good thing for us, and of course Arsenal is not a good thing. However, in the last round we played at home, believe me, Dortmund at home is invincible!"

"How did Arsenal take three points from the Westfalen Stadium before that?" A reporter asked.

Klopp was not embarrassed at all, and said directly and righteously: "That's because we beat Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium! You can look at the records. In this group, Dortmund beat Arsenal before, and Arsenal will return immediately. Then Arsenal defeated Naples, and then, Naples came back at home. In the previous first-leg clash between Dortmund and Naples, unfortunately, Dortmund regretted losing to their opponents away, but after this one If the first rule is demonstrated, the next round of Dortmund's home game against Naples is the opportunity for our Hornets to avenge their shame!!"

Klopp's words carry a strong hint in his heart, expressing that according to the law of each other, you win me, I win you, I lose him, he loses me, you win him, he wins you. The conclusion is: the last round , Dortmund should beat Naples at home!
Chelsea coach Mourinho, who has already qualified from Group E, which is uneven in strength and has a relatively large gap, watched the excitement in front of the TV on one side, and then sneered, who the fuck said that only I play psychological warfare ?Of these three guys, which one is the fuel-efficient lamp?

"Excuse me, Mr. Wenger, during the game, there were quarrels and physical conflicts between Arsenal player Li and his teammate Ozil. Are they at odds?" It is the most interesting, this is the gimmick that can attract the readers' attention the most, as for the competition itself?who cares!
"This is something out of thin air. The relationship between Li and Mesut is very good. Not only the two of them, Li and his teammates in the club are very good. There are more young players in the team, and there are more topics between them. And Li and Mesut, etc. Apart from the club teammates, they are still very good friends in private." Of course Wenger wanted to support his proud disciples.

"So what happened to the conflict between them during the game? The two newcomers are amazing in terms of talent, ability and current performance, and everyone knows that talented players in history are more There is a 'personality'. With so many young talented players in Arsenal's current squad, are they hostile to each other? Have you been with Ozil and Lee in the Arsenal dressing room for more than ten years? With the arrival of people, have you lost your control over the locker room?" The reporter's question was not so friendly and polite.

Benitez, who Wenger was about to explain, interjected: "If Ozil is not happy at Arsenal, Naples will always open the door to him. I believe that in Naples and many friends (joining Naples) At least it is a very happy thing to stay together, and the cooperation on the court will be more tacit, and the achievements will of course be higher!"

The reporters suddenly regained their spirits. What's going on today?Is it possible that Benitez wants to introduce the talented German midfielder Ozil who was not 'happy' at Arsenal?
Stabbing opponents in the back is not something some managers specialize in.Benitez, who is gentle, tactical, and data-oriented, sometimes faces almost life-and-death battles, and he doesn't mind helping his opponents lick a handful of firewood and pour a pot of oil on the burning backyard.

If Arsenal loses the match against Marseille due to reasons within the team, then Naples will have no pressure at all. Even if they lose to Dortmund in the end, Naples and Dortmund will qualify.

How could someone as shrewd as a professor not know about Benitez's thoughts and purpose?

Wenger squinted his eyes and said: "I originally thought that Hamsik's departure from Naples was just a rumor, but I didn't expect that Naples was already preparing for Hamsik's departure. But it is a pity that such a talented player as Mesut It can only be himself, not a substitute for someone. And Mesut is very happy at the Emirates Stadium. The relationship between him and Lee is very good, and the two also cooperate with each other very well. Everyone It is obvious to all. The scene on the court was just an exchange between the two, and when Li cramped up, didn’t Mesut take the initiative to help? In fact, the two were exchanging ideas on how to get back the score quickly. It's just that the situation on the court is not optimistic, so men are always a little impatient, which is understandable. They are not old players like Fabianski and Arteta, but it doesn't matter, these are small problems! "
