On April 30th, the No.[-] round of the league, Manchester City played against Arsenal at home.

This originally mediocre game has become full of variables because of Manchester United's loss in the last round of the league.

It is worth mentioning that this is Manchester United's two-game losing streak.

In the nine rounds of Premier League No.20, Manchester United was defeated by Liverpool 1:4 at home. With this victory, Liverpool narrowed the difference between him and Manchester City to one point.

In the No.30 round of the Premier League, Manchester United lost 0:2 to Fulham in an away game.

Relying on the opponent's mistakes, Liverpool has now surpassed Manchester United by two league points and has become No. 1 in the standings again.

Although Manchester City made a mistake and lost to Chelsea, but because of Manchester United's two-game losing streak, the difference between the two sides was also shortened to five points.

And now there are eight rounds left in the Premier League, and the gap of five points does not mean it is impossible.

In particular, Manchester United is obviously not in good shape now, and their opponent is Aston Villa, one of the top three Premier League teams. Who dares to say with confidence that Manchester United will definitely be able to stop the decline and beat the visiting team at Old Trafford. Aston Villa?
Coupled with the fact that today's game is Manchester City vs. Arsenal, this is undoubtedly a strong matchup.

For this reason, today's game has attracted the attention of countless fans.

…………

When the game started, it was quite different from what everyone predicted.

Levi actually chose to defend and counterattack unswervingly, instead of playing against Arsenal as people expected.

Arsenal is also very passive. They are actually planning to play a defensive counterattack today, because everyone knows that Manchester City wants to chase points, but Manchester City acted like I can accept a point.

The game in the first half was very flat. The two sides did not create any wonderful offenses, and naturally there were no goals. It was more of players from both sides fighting in the midfield, and people turned their backs everywhere.

In the second half, Wenger had no choice but to make adjustments first and strengthen his offense!

Li Wei, who was standing on the sidelines, saw this scene, and immediately showed a faint smile on his face.

Compared to others, Li Wei is very aware of Wenger and Arsenal's situation.

In 2003, Arsenal built a new stadium, which is now known to fans as the Emirates Stadium.

This new stadium, which can accommodate 6 people, has a budget of up to 9000 million pounds!However, due to rising prices, the final construction cost increased to 7000 million.This has also led to a sharp increase in Arsenal's economic pressure. For this reason, since 2003, Arsenal has always sold players and captains. Players only give one-year contract extensions after the age of 30.

Even so, the completion of the Emirates Stadium was delayed from 2005 to August 2006 before it was completed.For this reason, there was a lot of speculation from the outside world at that time, and there were even rumors that the team would use Highbury Stadium to share a stadium with Tottenham Hotspur.

After the completion of the stadium in 2006, many Arsenal fans believed that the club's difficulties would be over, and even entered a period of rapid development.

First of all, the naming rights of the stadium were sold at a high price. Arsenal and Emirates signed a sponsorship contract worth 1 million pounds (approximately 13 billion Hong Kong dollars). The new stadium will be named the Emirates Stadium after the 9 season.

Second, Arsenal's matchday revenue has grown from £3740m at Highbury to £9000m now (roughly £100m more per game than before), and this does not include other commercial income.

However, Arsenal unfortunately encountered the famous global economic crisis in 2008, which caused the apartments built on the original site of the old stadium Highbury Stadium to be unsold.

Although it is not 2008 now, but it is only April 2009, Arsenal's funds are still in a cold winter, and the financial pressure is very huge.

Arsenal desperately need to finish in the top four.

Because entering the top four can enter the Champions League!
The prize money of the Champions League is very rich. All 32 teams that qualify for the Champions League group stage can get a guaranteed bonus of 860 million euros. You can also get 100 euros.Assuming that Arsenal win all the group matches, they can get up to 50 million euros!

The team that successfully advances from the group to the top 350 can get a bonus of 390 million euros, if it can advance to the quarterfinals, it can get 490 million euros, and the bonus for advancing to the semifinals is 50 million euros.The team that finally won the championship this season will also get a championship bonus of 650 million euros, while the runner-up will also receive 740 million euros.Calculated in this way, if a team can win all the group matches and finally win the championship, then he can get a total of [-] million euros in bonuses for participating in the UEFA Champions League, and this does not include the dividends of TV broadcast fees, stadiums, etc. Commercial income such as advertisements and jersey advertisements.

It was also from the beginning of the construction of the Emirates Stadium that Arsenal got ridiculed by a "four-maniac".

Every year in order to be able to enter the Champions League, Arsenal work very hard.

Liverpool are now number one in the standings.

Manchester United followed closely behind, ranking second.

Although Manchester City lost to Chelsea, thanks to the subsequent wave of victories and Chelsea's own mistakes, they successfully overtook Chelsea and became No.3 in the standings, five points behind Manchester United!
And Chelsea is only two points behind Manchester City, tightly biting behind Manchester City.

Arsenal is the hardest. Historically, they should have been No.4 this season, but because of the sudden emergence of Manchester City under the leadership of Levi, Arsenal were squeezed to No.5.

Now that the league is almost over, there are only eight rounds left, and there is not much time left for Arsenal.

In order to be able to reach the top four, Arsenal must win the next game.

For victory!

For three league points, Wenger and Arsenal have no choice.

…………

Arsenal's offense completely fell into the trap woven by Levi.

In the 7th minute of the game, Manchester City suddenly accelerated and played a wave of quick counterattacks.

Milner moved the ball to find Alves, and Alves passed two people in a row. After attracting the attention of the Arsenal players, he suddenly passed the ball diagonally to find Wright Phillips who succeeded in offside.

Wright Phillips was not greedy for the attacking Arsenal goalkeeper. He knocked the football across the middle. Robinho rushed to the goal and easily pushed the empty goal!
With Robinho's goal, Manchester City not only broke the deadlock!

Even at the Emirates Stadium, it was mainly against the guest, 1:0 Arsenal!
Robinho is running to celebrate.

After a slight pause for a few seconds, there were overwhelming boos at the Emirates Stadium!
