Chapter 418: Stealing from the Rich and Giving to the Poor Chelsea

Manchester United's performance this season is not good, and the defending champion's sluggish performance in the post-Ferguson era is obvious to all.The head coach Moyes, who was handpicked by Sir Alex Ferguson, seems unable to control and lead a giant team forward. They are currently ranked sixth in the league standings.There is still a possibility of qualifying for the UEFA Cup.
However, it was such a team, and Arsenal, currently ranked first in the league standings, had nothing to do with him.In the two rounds of home and away contests this season, Arsenal actually had two draws and failed to win a single game.
Arsenal fans feel very sorry about this, quite disappointed, and all kinds of unhappy, because they failed to seize the opportunity to "beat the dog in the water"!
The game was quickly forgotten by the Gunners supporters, because they had a bigger challenge ahead.

After the end of this round of the league, the standings have changed again.Arsenal still leads the first place, and the second place is Liverpool. They are a guest at the farmer in this round, and they won a thrilling [-]-[-] victory over Fulham, which needs to be relegated.

As for Chelsea. They were leveled away by West Bromwich Albion, and the 20-[-] score lasted until the end.Interestingly, the equalizer for West Bromwich Albion was the ex-Chelsea and former "many giants" former French striker Anelka.What's even more interesting is that the No.[-] round of the league has been played for six rounds, and this is Anelka's first goal.
Such a situation made many fans wonder, "Is this considered revenge?"

Chelsea just exploded Liverpool's "chrysanthemum" not long ago, running from the third place in the league to the second place in the league.But he didn't stay for three rounds before being counter-bombed by Liverpool.

However, this season's Chelsea always have this kind of problem. They can often achieve a victory that everyone did not expect in the strong dialogue.However, when playing against mid-lower teams, they often either lose or draw, and they rarely win anyway.

At this time, the voice of "industry conscience" was once again given to Chelsea by many fans, because looking at Chelsea's games, they took three points from Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, Everton and Manchester United. Whether Manchester United is considered a strong team or not is a question worth thinking about.

But looking back, they can often be tied by Stoke City, West Brom, Norwich, Sunderland and other teams or lose with a big upset.

And Chelsea wins against the rich and powerful teams, and loses against the teams that are basically hovering near the relegation zone.

So people thought for a while, only to find out that Chelsea is a "hero" who "robs the rich and helps the poor"!Take three points from the hands of the top six in the league, and send a relegation team back.
The conscience of the industry is not for nothing!
What's interesting is that the two London bosses, Arsenal and Chelsea, are just the opposite. Arsenal have won against many middle and lower teams, but teams near the European qualifications rarely take all three points.On the contrary, it is Chelsea.
The first, second, and third positions in the league have already been claimed, and the fourth position naturally falls to Manchester City.It's not that Manchester City's performance is not good, but that they are now ranked fourth with one game less.This round of home games against the relegation team Sunderland was postponed to mid-April due to a conflict with Manchester City in the League Cup.

This round of the league was played in the middle of the week, but on the weekend it was an FA Cup match.

Not long ago, when they learned about their opponents in this round of the FA Cup, the two teams, Arsenal and Liverpool, performed very differently.Arsenal couldn't laugh or cry, almost thinking that this was a "script" designed by the FA, and the FA is already learning from UEFA.

Liverpool, on the other hand, is gearing up, looking like it wants to crush the opponent.When Rogers was interviewed at the pre-match press conference, he made it clear: "Yes, we lost to the opponent at home not long ago. So in this game we will go all out to win the opponent at the opponent's home court. Retain strength? We will not retain strength. You must know our advantages. We have no Champions League or even Europa League games, so there is no problem with the physical fitness and physical condition of our players. As for the opponent, it is not necessarily the case. The front is playing against us. They have a big challenge after two days of the game."

"You know, Bayern Munich is now recognized as one of the strongest teams. Only Real Madrid and Barcelona can compete with it. So we think the opponent (Arsenal) should retain their strength to deal with the challenge of defending the Champions League. I think Wenger, who has never won the Champions League trophy, should be very clear about the total cup and the Champions League."

After seeing Rodgers' interview, the Arsenal fans hadn't had time to say anything, but the Chelsea fans next door stood up and spoke for Arsenal and Wenger.

"Rodgers is really good at what he does. The so-called 'slapping people without slapping people in the face, and swearing at people without revealing shortcomings!" As the most famous coach in the Premier League and even the world, Wenger has won the League Championship, League Cup Championship, and FA Cup Championship. Once broke Manchester United's dominance of the Premier League, and created a legendary undefeated championship. But...the only thing missing is a Champions League champion. What does Rodgers mean by mentioning this?"

Of course, the Chelsea fans are not speaking for Arsenal, they are simply making a fuss, letting the two teams in the league first and second in the league fight harder in non-league games, so that the third in the league they will be less stressed
Although Mourinho has publicly stated more than once that he has no intention of winning the league title this season, although he does not know how credible this statement is, it does not mean that Chelsea fans do not like this championship.In their hearts, they fantasized more than once that Mourinho would achieve some achievements in his first season in the second palace, such as "accidentally" winning a league championship or something.

Although we know that the current team's lineup is still relatively difficult for winning the championship, they are all in the third position in the league, only four points away from the league leader, and only one point away from the second place in the league.With this result, do you still want to qualify for the Champions League in the top four?That would be too boring.
No matter how lively the noise was outside, Wenger and his Arsenal did not join in the fun. They still closed the door to prevent the media from interviewing their disciples, allowing them to train with peace of mind.

When Wenger was interviewed, he did not respond to Rogers' words.Instead, he said: "Football games should go all out for every game, no matter how difficult the road ahead is. Otherwise, it is disrespect for the opponent and disrespect for your own fans!"

Although there was no positive response, the media responded after processing Wenger's words.

But since then, Wenger has not been interviewed in front of the media.

On the night of February [-]th, although there was no snow in the sky, it was still covered with dark clouds, as if a heavy rain could come at any time.Naturally, it is impossible to see the stars in the night sky in this kind of weather. Of course, it is much more difficult to see the stars in an international metropolis like London than to see the "big stars".

When the media got the starting rosters of both sides before the game started, they couldn't help being surprised, and the glass of the glasses was shattered all over the floor.Because they did not see a few core players from the starting lineup of Arsenal and Liverpool.

Liverpool's Suarez and Gerrard did not play, Arsenal's Li Zihan and Ozil did not play, and the other players were only a main force and a half-rotation lineup.

What about the big showdown?What about revenge?What about respecting opponents and fans?Wenger, Rogers, you two guys with broken morals! !
The media reporters who saw this list couldn't help but slander.

When Wenger saw Liverpool's roster, he was taken aback.As Rodgers said, Liverpool has no influence from the European war, so Wenger subconsciously thought that the opponent would regard this cup as very important.But he never expected that such a rotation lineup would be deployed now. Then Rogers' Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone. He wants to stay strong and focus all his energy on the league! !
And when Rogers saw Arsenal's roster, his expression was almost exactly the same as Wenger's.Because in Rodgers' view, Arsenal has almost no chance of winning against this Bayern. Considering the competitive pressure in the Champions League, it is king to give up decisively and apply for the league and the FA Cup.But I didn't expect Wenger to stay put and wanted to have a life-and-death match with Bayern in the Champions League two days later
Of course, in Rodgers' view, Arsenal must die and Bayern Munich will live in that game!

Although it was a bit of a surprise, both coaches understood each other's thoughts.It's just that both sides have some regrets. If they had known each other's thoughts earlier, they would have been able to switch to the full main lineup and win the FA Cup.

Because the main force faces the opponent's rotation, the consumption will not be great.Because Arsenal is similar to Liverpool, the bench is not thick.
The game started quickly, and Arsenal, who were at home, did not have the banner to attack aggressively as soon as they got up.Instead, it is interesting to hold the ball and mobilize the opponent's press.

Wenger made it very clear to them before the game that the ball must be controlled in this game.Don't ask for fierce offensive firepower, just don't give the opponent a chance.And once there is an opportunity on my side, I will rush forward without hesitation and bite the opponent!
This arrangement is mainly to reduce the possibility of players' injuries, because the game against Bayern will be in two days.The current Arsenal really "can't afford to be hurt", even if it is a rotation like Monreal and Vermaelen.

The current Arsenal is still fighting on the third front. As their bench is not thick, they are walking on thin ice in almost every game.Although the Champions League is difficult, Arsenal still have an advantage in the league and the FA Cup.

Wenger doesn't want to lose these advantages again because of injuries!
