4 month 17 day.

Arsenal endured a late FA Cup quarter-final appearance.

It stands to reason that this game should be played in mid-March, but the two days of the game coincided with the London railway strike, causing the game to be delayed.

As a result, when the Football Association wanted to arrange a rematch, they were surprised to find that Arsenal's schedule was so full that it could only be placed on April 4.

Manchester City's quarter-final rematch in Arsenal's half has been played, and they are just waiting for the result of this game before playing in the semi-finals.

The semi-finals of the other half were played three days ago, with Wigan Athletic beating Millwall.

The FA Cup final will be held on May 5. If Arsenal wants to enter the FA Cup final, they must play at least two FA Cup games during this period, and they must also pass Chelsea and Manchester City.

Although the opponent in the final is very good, the road to the final is not easy.

Chelsea was eliminated from the Champions League early, and the league also exited the championship group early.

The only trophies they can compete for this season are the FA Cup and the Europa League.

Chelsea has already reached the semi-finals of the Europa League. If the FA Cup also progresses, they may be able to win another double this season.

After the game started, Chelsea showed an aggressive momentum.

Hazard repeatedly used speed to eat up Maicon on the left, creating opportunities continuously.

Arsenal also showed no signs of weakness, both teams played very openly.

This style of play suddenly reminded Sun Ke of Western cowboy movies. Both sides took a few steps behind each other, and then "faced each other and opened up."

Whoever shoots first is the father!

The posture of both sides is to put the pistol on the other's head.

After the two sides missed one after another, Chelsea hit the target first.

Hazard changed directions continuously and hit a cloud-piercing arrow from the left, directly piercing the goal guarded by Szczesny.

When Benitez saw that his team was leading, he immediately asked his players to retreat and started a counterattack with the Arsenal players.

As a result, before halftime, Arsenal lost the ball in the backcourt. Wilshere turned around and knocked down Lampard with a blast and received a red card.

Mata scored a free kick, and Arsenal fell behind by two goals in the first half with one man sent off.

The professor walked back and forth countless times to the side of the court, looking at the court angrily.

On the way back to the locker room, Wenger found Sun Ke and said: "There is no need to play in the second half, just have a good rest."

Haha, this Westbrook is giving himself a holiday!

In the locker room, the old man endured it and reprimanded everyone.

Arsenal eventually lost to Chelsea 0-3.

At the post-match press conference, the professor said calmly: "We haven't lost for a long time, but this option has always been there."

"In a decisive game, any situation can exist."

"We should all take this game as a profound lesson. Losing any game at this time will have a great impact on the progress of the entire season."

Compared with the early elimination of two domestic cup competitions last season, Arsenal relied on its good lineup depth this season to win the League Cup and the FA Cup has also reached the final stage.

But judging from the strength of the lineup, Arsenal's rotation is not yet Chelsea's opponent.

After experiencing the baptism of the Double Champion last season, Chelsea played very experienced in this kind of knockout match that determines the outcome.

And for this game, Chelsea randomly replaced half of the players in the league, just to fight Arsenal in the FA Cup.

In this way, Arsenal's "mess" in the FA Cup has come to an end.

It may not be accurate to say that it is a mix-up, but Arsenal has indeed not played in the FA Cup with the main lineup this season.

Even if there is enough rest time, the old man is willing to leave opportunities to rotation players.

If a lineup is used to death, there may be no problem.

Because most head coaches these days work with one lineup until there are injuries before making substitutions.

After all, head coaching is a high-risk profession, and the average coaching time of a Premier League head coach at a club does not exceed two years.

With so much performance pressure, the head coach naturally only dares to play the players he trusts most.

And trust is actually a feeling.

If the main player is injured for a month or two, the substitute players can be used easily.

When the main players return from injury, the head coach usually feels that the main players are not at ease.

There are more than twenty people in the first team of Premier League clubs, and there are many players who play single-digit games in a season.

Teams like Arsenal, where all four central defenders can get enough playing time, are rare.

Sun Ke didn't think it mattered. At this point in the season, he naturally had to play important games.

Arsenal is neither the Premier League hegemon nor the European hegemon.

If the main players are allowed to play double games a week, they will be walking a tightrope in the Champions League.

After Arsenal lost to Chelsea, the English media reported it with great interest.

Because so far this season, Arsenal have only lost three games in total.

They lost to Chelsea in the Community Shield and FA Cup, and lost to Olympiakos in the Champions League group stage.

But in these three games, the loss in the Champions League group stage was because after locking in the first place in the group in advance, they lost to Olympiacos, who fought to the death.

The FA Cup loss to Chelsea was also a rotation of the lineup.

Although the Community Shield is ostensibly a showdown between the league champion and the FA Cup champion, in everyone's opinion it is more like a warm-up match.

In other words, so far in the season, Arsenal's main lineup has not lost a game.

Even with a rotating lineup, they only lost three games.

Of course, in Sun Ke's view, this is both an honor and represents more pressure at this time.

If it collapses at the last minute, Arsenal this season will only have a somewhat tasteless League Cup in the honor column compared to last season.

In the blink of an eye, there is less than a week left in the Champions League semi-finals.

The first leg of the match between Arsenal and Dortmund will be played on April 4.

Before that, Arsenal will play Fulham away from home on April 4.

Fulham, located in a wealthy area, is naturally the richest team in the middle of the Premier League.

It is natural that a club in a place like this is short of money. They can buy almost all the second- and third-rate stars they want.

At the end of the first thirty-three rounds, Fulham ranked tenth. They had already earned enough points to avoid relegation and had no more desires.

Their boss is worth nearly [-] billion pounds and is a pure millionaire.

But this guy just has a fun mentality in football, and has no intention of making Fulham a giant.

Playing in the middle of the league every season is enough to balance the books, and even if you make a small loss, you can balance the accounts yourself.

Facing Arsenal, the Fulham players at home played a defensive counterattack against Arsenal without any pressure, and almost scored a magic goal by the opponent in the opening game.

The Arsenal players also had a tacit understanding and did not exert any force. The purpose of this game was very clear, which was to win.

As long as you can score one more goal, there is no need to do it hard.

The game continued until the [-]th minute. After Duff got the ball in the midfield, he directly accelerated and changed direction when facing Suarez.

As a result, Suarez bit him directly, and Song directly covered him, squeezing Duff out of the sideline.

Suarez rushed forward, and at the moment he attracted the defensive player, he knocked across the field. Sun Ke volleyed from outside the penalty area. The goalkeeper only had time to stretch his legs, and the football missed his legs and flew into the goal.

1: 0!

In the final moments of the game, Arsenal slowed down the tempo, and the Fulham players worked hard for a while out of professional ethics.

Arsenal ended up taking three points economically on the road.

At the end of this game, the battle for the Premier League title is basically lost.

With four league games left, Arsenal are 10 points ahead of second-placed Manchester United.

The two sides will play the [-]th match in the next round at the Emirates Stadium.

At the press conference after the game, Sir Alex Ferguson said energetically: "This season's championship competition has come to an end. Congratulations to my opponents. It is only a matter of time before they win the championship."

"Despite this, I still ask the players to go all out. I don't want to wait until I meet Arsenal and lead the players to line up to welcome the opponent."

"Since the ending cannot be changed, we should try to make ourselves feel better."

"Retirement? No, this option is not in my plan for the time being. I still need a championship team."

"The season is not over yet. If we can meet in the Champions League final, I think we can come back."

"I have people in my team who have played in four Champions League finals and they only failed once, but those players are no longer in the team."

"Anyway, congratulations to Arsenal!"

Seeing Sir Alex Ferguson's blessing, Sun Ke could only say one wonderful thing.

The blessings are even disgusting.

But there is no time to worry about Manchester United for the time being. Dortmund is not very strong in the Champions League this season.
