There is a dream called football

Chapter 463 fierce battle
The score at the end of the first half was 0-0. If it ends with such a score, then Eindhoven will be promoted. Koeman knows this, but he also knows that Wenger has a lot of offensive players. He will definitely not let it go.

Perhaps in the locker room, Wenger never dreamed that scoring goals in this game would be so difficult.

At 77 minutes in the second half, the score was still 0-0. This is a knockout round. If the score is maintained until the end, it will be over and Arsenal's season will be over.

So Wenger was also in a hurry, and removed Flamini, the barrier in the midfield, and replaced him with Babtista.

In this way, Arsenal's entire midfield is all offensive.

"It's a gamble." The commentator said: "If the opponent counterattacks and scores a goal, then everything is over."

But Wenger didn't think so. He only knew that if he didn't score a goal, the opponent would be promoted.

And Koeman's side also started to deploy troops and replaced some who could no longer run. The idea of ​​the Dutch is to survive the last time, then they will be the winners.

The faces of Henry and Li Qiao in the stands were ashen. They were very unwilling to see this situation. They wanted to kill the thief, but they felt very uncomfortable because they were powerless.

I really want to stand with my teammates at this time, fight side by side at the last time, and win the game.

On the court, Arsenal's offense was wave after wave, but they were all relatively simple routines, such as powerful long-range shots, and lacked organization and cooperation.

This is also due to haste.

Babtista dodged an angle in front of the penalty area and then volleyed. The ball flew towards the goal like a shell, but PSV's goalkeeper was very stable and saved the ball. The ball missed.

"Hold on, hold on, it's best to get a set-piece," Wenger said eagerly.

And come whatever you want, Arsenal won a corner kick, and the time was 87 minutes.

Time is running out, and this may be one of the few good opportunities left. In the stands, Li Qiao and Henry can't wait to stand up and watch the game.

Li Qiao was looking forward to it silently, hoping that the goal would be scored, otherwise... the time left for Arsenal is really running out.

And Koeman stood nervously on the sidelines. It would be too painful if he was killed at the last moment.

The corner kick is often a good opportunity for the opponent to kill himself, which is what Koeman is worried about.

Rosicky runs to take the corner.

The penalty area was full of people, Arsenal pressed very high, Rosicky kicked a curve ball, and the penalty area was full of people, everyone was fighting for position, Arsenal players hoped to head the ball in, and Eindhoven of course hoped to defend the ball out.

Suddenly, a pair of big hands took the ball off, and then...

The Arsenal players felt a little bit in their hearts, not good! !
This is a good opportunity for PSV Eindhoven to counterattack. I saw goalkeeper Gomez throwing the ball vigorously and throwing the ball forward quickly.

After a pass, the ball reached Tardelli's feet. The Brazilian's speed increased at this time. He threw away Clichy who was chasing back.

Tardelli quickly cut in, and now it was a one-on-one contest between him and Lehmann. Tardelli pushed and shot the far corner, and the ball slowly rolled into the far corner of the goal, and the goal was scored! ! !

in.

in.

And this was a fatal blow to Arsenal. Wenger knew that his team had lost, because if Arsenal wanted to win, they had to score at least two more goals at the last minute, which seemed difficult to do.

So Koeman celebrated in advance, he knew his team had advanced.

The faces of Henry and Li Qiao in the stands were full of helplessness. This time Arsenal won the game and did not score. The process of the game was good, but they still failed to create a real threat. This is also the flaw of this game.

It's just that if they want to make up for it, Arsenal can only wait for the next season. In the end, the game is over and Arsenal is eliminated as the defending champion.

Koeman and his Eindhoven are celebrating the victory. Judging from the performance of these two games, Koeman and his Eindhoven are indeed worthy of this victory.

Wenger walked towards Koeman very gracefully after the game and sent blessings to his opponent.

"Congratulations, you made it."

"I beat Arsenal who were not at their best and I hope to play against them again in the future."

After paying tribute to his opponent, Wenger walked over to comfort his players. Young players like Walcott were already crying.

"Head, I haven't been able to help the team."

"You've done a great job."

Wenger patted Van Persie, "Well done."

Then there's Adebayo.

Rosicky.

Especially the Czech, he is the highest signing of Arsenal this season, and many people expect him to replace Pires.

And Rosicky seems to have done it, but he failed to help the team go further, which is also a pity. Arsenal stopped in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Wenger had to accept media interviews after the game, and he had to face many difficulties.

"Arthur, it is a pity that as the defending champion, Arsenal was eliminated."

Wenger chuckled, "It seems that the curse of the defending champion of the Champions League is still difficult to remove."

"What's the team's problem? Is it really just Li Qiao and Henry's injuries?"

"I think the impact of the main injury on us is self-evident, but this is not the only reason, but a comprehensive reason."

"We have a lot of problems this season. One is the replacement of old and new. I have said this repeatedly at the beginning of the season, but I have to say that my estimate for this is still too optimistic. I think the growth rate of newcomers is obviously not as fast as we expected."

"In addition, Eindhoven is a very respectable opponent. Their strength is very strong. Their coach has formulated very effective tactics. I have to admit that in the last game, they caught us by surprise, and that directly caused us to be passive in the game. Well, everything is over. I think we will definitely come back next season."

Wenger left the stadium, a little lonely, but this is football after all, and Wenger actually knew that Li Qiao might not be able to keep it. Arsenal will be even more different next season. Henry and Li Qiao will both leave.

Under such circumstances, perhaps winning the Champions League next game cannot be a short-term goal.

This night, many Arsenal fans may be sleepless. The first season at the Emirates Stadium did not get good results, and fans who love Arsenal will proudly say that the Gunners will be even better next season.
