Chapter 268 UEFA Cup Champion

For the Premier League fans this season, their last game of the season will be the Champions League final on May 24. The two Premier League teams Chelsea and Manchester United will fight desperately in this final. For Arsenal fans, they pay more attention to the FA Cup final a week before and the Europa League final on the 15th. These two games will be their last game of the season.

This season, Arsenal has already won the League Cup. They hope that they can also win the FA Cup and the Europa League. Arsenal has many honors, but they hope that this season can have a perfect harvest after countless setbacks.

First of all, on May 5th, the final between Arsenal and Zenit started. Li Yuxin, who was suspended, finally lifted his ban and returned. Wenger is also full of expectations for this championship. After all, he led Arsenal to the UEFA Cup final, but lost to Galatasaray. Today he does not want to miss the championship again!

"About the tactics of the game...I've said a lot, now I don't want to say that."

After the players finished their warm-up and returned to the locker room, Wenger looked at the players with his chin resting, and then asked a question.

"Among all the people present...is there anyone who has won the European Championship at the club?"

Cold field.

After a while, Li Yuxin and a group of old players raised their hands in embarrassment - last season, they had won the European Champions Cup, and this was their only European championship in the club.

"Although the UEFA Cup and the Champions Cup can only be regarded as a foil, none of us have won this honor in Europe... Neither have I. I really want to win the UEFA Cup, so that I can tell everyone that I am the European champion... Whether it is the UEFA Cup or not, I am the European champion. I am a very face-saving and vain person. I hope to be able to wear the coat of a European champion... How about you?"

"We also want to, boss." Lars Diarra replied that he now felt that joining Arsenal was the right thing to do. Now the league title is hopeless, but it has allowed him to prove himself in the top league. If he wins the UEFA Cup, he will also make up for one of his regrets...

All the Arsenal players nodded at the same time. No professional player would refuse the honor unless he was already tired of the honor - obviously, the Arsenal players were far from being tired of the honor.

"Then let's go, follow the tactics I arranged, and we will definitely be able to win... Remember, be careful when advancing, and don't give them a chance to steal the ball in the midfield when pressing up. When there is a chance for a quick counterattack, then speed up. In short, we don't have enough people in the backcourt, so we must be careful not to make mistakes in the offense. If there are enough people in the backcourt to defend, then use two or three people as a group to attack quickly and maneuver. This is the basic requirement of this game, understand?"

The players nodded one after another. Wenger's tactical intentions had already been evident in the previous training, so Wenger only needed to emphasize it, and then they walked out of the locker room under the leadership of Li Yuxin, and walked towards their most important game remaining this season.

When the players from both sides were about to play, they didn't have any conversations in the player tunnel. Arsenal and Zenit had no entanglements, and the two sides didn't have any personnel exchanges. There was almost no intersection between them, and naturally there would be no conversations.

The fans of both sides in the stands have already started to shout, warming up for the next game in advance - for them, the next game is also their battle!

"Players from both sides are about to play... There is no change in the starting lineup of this game. Whether it is Arsenal or Zenit, they have adopted the main lineup they are most accustomed to.

In the shouts of commentators from all over the world, the Manchester Stadium became the world of Arsenal fans. They shouted wildly and celebrated wildly with the Arsenal players in the stadium!
Lars Diarra once again ran around the stadium shirtless. His goal of joining Arsenal can be said to have been achieved. Now he is the European champion!This kind of achievement has surpassed many members of the French youth team. With his performance, the French national team may have to face up to his existence...

Van Persie hugged his teammates with a smirk on his face. For Van Persie, this season is simply dreamlike. Although he is not the main player in Arsenal, he has won a lot of opportunities and scored a lot in the league. Although he did not play in the UEFA Cup final, he scored a goal!But such an achievement made him satisfied...

Bale and Walcott embraced each other. After the end of last season, it’s not that no team wanted to poach them. For example, Manchester United and Chelsea extended an olive branch to them respectively, but they stayed, not because of other reasons, but because they didn’t want to leave Arsenal.
Countless reporters poured into the stadium to interview them. Of course, the most reporters were around Li Yuxin. All the reporters were like courtiers, obediently listening to Li Yuxin's will...

After the crazy celebration, the Arsenal players were ready to receive the award-before that, the Zenit players had already received their silver medals and left unwillingly. They also performed very well in this game, but who made them meet a crazy Arsenal?Who let them run into a crazy Li Yuxin?He put almost all his remaining energy into this game. When encountering such a Li Yuxin, Zenit can only accept a runner-up in the UEFA Cup with extreme aggrievedness...

After the Arsenal players received their own gold medals, Li Yuxin walked over with a smile. UEFA President Michel Platini took the last gold medal for the players, and then raised his hand and hung it on Li Yuxin's neck.

This year's UEFA Cup winner is from England—”

After the on-site commentator stretched his voice, the remaining Arsenal fans in the field shouted in unison: "Arsenal!"

Amidst the cheers of countless people, Li Yuxin raised the UEFA Cup trophy high above his head with both hands, countless confetti sprayed out from behind him, and the cheers of the entire stadium reached its peak!
