Strong Waist

Chapter 126: Sense of Humiliation

On April 19, Arsenal came to Old Trafford again to face Manchester United.

Louis van Gaal's Manchester United adopted a 4-1-4-1 formation, investing a lot of power in the midfield.

Arsenal, on the other hand, rotated Campbell and Walcott as substitutes on the basis of the main lineup.

When the game came to the 86th minute, the score between the two sides reached 1:1.

Manchester United could not break through Arsenal's defense, and Campbell repeatedly missed opportunities, preventing Arsenal from expanding the score.

"After entering the middle of this season, Campbell's performance has become worse and worse. He is constantly wearing down Wenger's patience. Even though Wenger will give newcomers many opportunities, compared to the World Cup, Campbell's performance can be described as poor. ”

Throughout the game, Campbell continued to waste opportunities.

Lucky and Cazorla alone gave him three single-handed goals, but they were kicked out of the way by him.

This kind of "spitting cake" behavior not only caused Wenger's dissatisfaction, but also the two core points of Lucky and Cazorla no longer trust Campbell.

In a team, if the core points are questioned and insufficient support is provided, then the striker will basically lose its living space.

Campbell's expression at this time was also extremely bitter.

He knew his performance was poor, but he didn't know why, it just felt awkward and nothing was right.

Looking back at the beginning of the season, Campbell had a good run-in with Arsenal, but after entering the middle of the season, he could no longer adapt to the team's playing rhythm.

"Campbell's fallen behind!"

Wenger stood on the sidelines and said calmly.

Compared with how angry Wenger was described by the outside world, he seemed particularly calm at this time.

Although Wenger has not told the players, in his vision, the Champions League is still the main focus.

Therefore, it is enough to win a draw in this game, conserve physical fitness as much as possible, and fight for a Champions League spot.

Of course, this is also to prepare for various possibilities in the Champions League.

"We still rely on Luis' goals." Patrice also nodded.

Football is an 11-person event and a complex team sport.

In this team, everyone has different jobs and responsibilities, and a tacit understanding will be formed within the scope of their responsibilities.

For example, Suarez plays the role of offensive terminator and goal scorer at Arsenal.

Cazorla is a breakthrough position, frontcourt organization point, etc.

Lucky is Arsenal's offensive and defensive transition hub, the team's core and spiritual leader.

This is the current axis of Arsenal.

Suarez needed to rest and therefore did not play. Wenger hoped that Campbell could play some role in supporting Arsenal's offensive end.

But this guy obviously misunderstood the meaning of 'offensive end'.

Wenger almost lost all his patience with his kicks and side kicks.

If nothing unexpected happens, Campbell is likely to be loaned out again next season.

Old Trafford is quiet

Manchester United fans all had mixed expressions. They seemed to have lost their former passion.

Although they know very well that this is their home stadium, they 'only' drew with Arsenal at home.

But they know even more clearly that the current Arsenal is not the same as in the past, and they are no longer the Red Devils Manchester United during the Ferguson era.

Therefore, facing a powerful opponent, an opponent who might bring them defeat, they felt very happy after reaching a draw.

And this happy emotion condemned their hearts over and over again.

We are Manchester United!

We are Manchester United, the Triple Crown winners!

Why do you feel happy when facing a home draw?

After all, before the game started, they felt that Manchester United had almost no chance of winning against Arsenal.

And this Arsenal is not a complete package.

They only got a draw when the main striker Suarez was exempted from the game.

And they are happy about it.

shameful! ! ——

90 minutes passed.

The referee's whistle signals the end of the game.

In the 33rd round of the Premier League, Manchester United drew with Arsenal.

Arsenal also fell from second to third place in points because of this draw.

In the 33rd round, Chelsea reached the first position in the Premier League standings.

Following closely behind is Manchester City.

Arsenal is in third place.

Compared with other divisions where the championship is becoming increasingly clear, the Premier League is still in chaos.

Until the end, no one knows which team will win the championship.

Mourinho's Chelsea!

Pellegrini's Manchester City!

Wenger's Arsenal!

The three favorite teams are still chasing each other with extremely narrow gaps.

Of course, compared to the first two teams, Arsenal still has the pressure of the Champions League, so it seems more arduous.

As for the FA Cup, Arsenal were eliminated early.

As Wenger said before, Arsenal no longer needs the FA Cup to gain glory.

What they want is to create a new history!

In the locker room, the Arsenal players gathered together and were discussing something.

When Lucai approached, he heard the discussion topics of his teammates.

"I feel Bayern can beat Barcelona. Guardiola is too familiar with Barcelona. He taught the world how to beat Barcelona last season!"

"But Barcelona has Messi and Neymar, both of whom are still very capable. In the midfield, although Xavi's ability has begun to decline, Iniesta is still very good."

"But they lack scoring points. Judging from the current situation, Pedro cannot adapt to the playing rhythm of Messi and Neymar."

"Porto is finished. Juventus has the best chance of advancing."

"Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid, Ronaldo beats Atletico Madrid!"

Teammates are all talking about the Final Four, and it's obvious that they have brought themselves to the Final Four.

After all, in the entire quarter-finals, Arsenal had the largest point difference in the first leg.

They scored four goals, and they had enough confidence even if they went to the Parc des Princes.

Even with some conservative tactics, they could advance smoothly even if they conceded three goals.

Therefore, it is the clearest one in this group.

"Captain, who do you think the four teams that have advanced are?"

Cazorla turned around and asked.

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look.

Lucky said directly; "Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Arsenal and Juventus."

Di Maria nodded; "It's almost as good as our prediction."

Sanchez said; "None of these three teams are easy to play!"

Chamberlain nodded and said: "It would be best if we play Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona are locked in a fight, and we don't have to end up in the Champions League final and La Liga fighting like before."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

They have to admit that La Liga's performance in recent seasons has been really terrifying.

Not to mention Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid is a real troublemaker, especially when facing Premier League teams.

It can be said that, except for the two local big brothers, this little brother will beat anyone he catches.

Simeone's Atletico Madrid are no joke.

Of course, there is basically no need to worry about this Champions League.

Atletico Madrid is likely to be eliminated in the quarter-finals, after all, their opponent is Real Madrid.

What if Atletico were still there?

That's even better!

This means that Real Madrid has been eliminated.

Between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, how to choose?

They felt that no one would choose to play Real Madrid.

Especially for Arsenal, they were kicked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid last season.

Soon, Wenger walked in and asked everyone to wash up and prepare to go back.

After Lucky finished rinsing and packing his things, Wilshere sat next to Lucky with his backpack slung across his body. He said with a solemn expression, "Don't you think that this season has been a little too easy?"

Lucky turned around and looked doubtfully.

Wilshere pursed his lips and said: "That's how I feel. In the 2005-06 season, Arsenal reached the Champions League finals. At that time, they met Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, and then they faced Juventus and PSV. Liarel, ultimately lost to Barcelona.”

"At that time, Arsenal stumbled a bit from the beginning of the group stage. Every game was fought hard and every game was difficult."

After a pause, Wilshere said; "But this season, I won all the group matches, played Basel in the quarter-finals, and played Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals. It can be said that they are basically in the lottery!"

Wilshere sighed; "It's so smooth that it's a bit unreal!"
