Lucky clearly rejected Paris Saint-Germain's transfer invitation.

Having more money is great, but Lucky pays more attention to competitiveness and teamwork.

Paris Saint-Germain always gave him the feeling that something was missing.

And he also knows that he can't make up for this, so Lucky still feels more comfortable at Arsenal.

The most important thing is that he is already familiar with everything here and doesn't want to change his place to play football.

As said before, Lucky does not play football for money.

This is certainly a manifestation of value, but when Arsenal pays enough attention to itself, Lucky has no idea of ​​​​transferring.

However, Paris Saint-Germain didn't seem to give up yet. After receiving Lucky's rejection, they began to make offers to Arsenal again.

Regarding Yu Lekai's offer, Arsenal's approach was extremely uniform, that is, they rejected it directly.

They didn't even look at the amount.

For Arsenal; Lucky is priceless.

Paris Saint-Germain was rejected by both sides, and when they couldn't find a breakthrough, they could only slow down the matter for a while and focus on others.

For this reason, just as Lucky stopped, Barcelona started a fire in the backyard again.

Paris Saint-Germain is pursuing Neymar fiercely, and it is different from Lucky's clear attitude.

Neymar's ambiguous attitude also makes this game complicated and confusing.

As for Mbappe on Monaco's side, there is almost no difficulty. With 100 million euros thrown over, Monaco can't wait to send Mbappe away directly.

After all, for this type of team, they urgently need funds to settle in and run the club.

Selling players, and selling players at high prices, is obviously the most appropriate way to make profits.

Currently, Arsenal is still fourth in the league standings and has entered the Champions League qualifying circle.

However, they are five points behind Manchester City, which leads the league in points. If Manchester City does not lose, it will be difficult for Arsenal to catch up, which also means that it will be difficult for them to compete for the league championship this season.

Of course there are still opportunities.

For example, when Manchester City was upset.

But in addition to Manchester City, there are Chelsea and Tottenham ahead, which is a bit unrealistic.

After all, every team is going all out during this period, and it is extremely difficult to overtake at this time.

Arsenal also knows this problem, so while stabilizing the league, they will focus more on the Europa League.

In the upcoming semi-finals, Arsenal will face Europe's traditional giant Ajax.

Ajax is a traditional European giant and the top team in Dutch football, but with the promotion of commercialization, it has also suffered the greatest impact.

The loss of players is their biggest problem. Even though they are working hard to create talented players, they can't stop the opponent if they want to leave.

This season they were kicked out of the Champions League.

However, their performance in the Europa League was even better, and they played more like a duck in water.

Young players such as Ziyech, Traore, Klaassen, De Jong and De Ligt in the team have attracted even more attention.

Ajax has always maintained the image of a young guard.

The overall lineup of their team is extremely young. Although sometimes they seem a little inexperienced, once these young people get a feel for it, they will be a very difficult team to deal with.

For Arsenal, they need to find ways to curb the opponent's performance.

On May 2, the Arsenal team left London under the leadership of Mourinho and headed for Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

They will play the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals.

They will face each other at Ajax's home stadium.

Arsenal's morale is high, and their outstanding performances in recent games have made the players and coaches feel extremely confident.

On the other hand, Arsenal's performance put Ajax under great pressure.

Facing the aggressive Arsenal, Ajax also became extremely troubled when deploying tactics.

However, these are basically the state of the coaches, and the players are extremely relaxed.

Many Ajax players are thinking about jumping out of the Dutch football stage and joining the five major leagues with their outstanding performance in this game.

Arsenal, as a very powerful team in the recent European war, is naturally one of their choices.

As said before, Ajax cannot keep young players, and these players are thinking about how to leave.

After all, like Arsenal's former captain, Vermaelen joined Arsenal through the Ajax stage and became Arsenal's captain along the way.

This is a visible promotion path, which is naturally very attractive to these young players.

May 3, Cruyff Arena.

This is a stadium named by Dutch football legend Cruinff. As the home court of Ajax, the football market here is extremely popular, and it is almost full of fans.

When the Ajax and Arsenal buses arrived, the fans were extremely enthusiastic.

No matter which side they were on, they all cheered.

It feels weird.

Arsenal were greeted with cheers on the road for the first time.

But compared to Ajax, their cheers were less.

But it would be nice to have.

At the same time, in the Ajax dressing room.

Head coach Bosz is preparing to announce the starting lineup.

He could see the expectant eyes of all the teenagers.

Obviously none of them wanted to miss this stage where they could express themselves.

Especially players like Ziyech, De Jong, De Ligt, Traore and other players.

The final starting list was announced.

Ajax (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Onana.

Defenders: Tate, Sanchez, De Ligt, Reid Ward.

Midfielder: Klassen, De Jong, Ziyech.

Forwards: Traore, Dolberg. Eunice.

Once this lineup is lined up, it doesn't feel like a game, but an exhibition for young players.

The two oldest people are Klassen and Ziyech, both of whom are only 24 years old.

And among them there is an 18-year-old boy like De Ligt.

The average age is 21 years old!

This is definitely the Young Guards in the truest sense.

Looking at the young people opposite him, Wilshere suddenly couldn't help but sigh.

"I feel old!"

Not just Wilshere, but also people like Hummels.

Especially against De Ligt.

"People are playing in the Europa League semi-finals when they are 18 years old. What are we doing when we are 18 years old?"

Jimenez shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Lucky suddenly said from the front: "I was playing in the Champions League when I was 18!"

Jimenez: ""

Lucai turned around and smiled; "Okay, our opponents are young people, but we are more experienced and can cooperate better. Let us teach these young people a good lesson!"

"Teach them a lesson!"

"Look at me!"

"bring it on!"

Every Arsenal player is gearing up and has high morale.

The two sides entered the stadium and Ajax took the lead.

Ajax adheres to the Netherlands' total attack and defense tactics, and is very active in attack and defense.

Therefore, Arsenal did not want to play such a fast-paced game with the opponent.

After all, the opponent is young and has an absolute advantage in physical fitness.

Arsenal must make more use of their experience to win the game.

Beep!

!

As the whistle sounded, Ajax took the lead.

After all, they are a youth team, and they seemed restless as soon as the game started.

After less than 3 minutes of observation, they couldn't help but attack.

Klaassen wanted to show off his long passing skills. He passed a long ball and Lucky appeared at the landing point.

Traore wanted to compete for the top, but he was no match for Lucky in physical confrontation.

Lucky easily controlled the ball and passed it to his teammates.

After Arsenal took control of the ball, they did not rush to counterattack, but further eroded the opponent's midfield rhythm.

Lucky knows how to suppress the midfield.

Once the rhythm in the midfield is lost, it will be fatal for a young team like Ajax.

However, Ajax is not easy to deal with. Based on tactics and young hard work, the opponent constantly presses in the midfield and frontcourt.

The so-called high press is derived from the Dutch total attack and defense tactics.

They naturally know how to carry out this kind of pressing.

However, Arsenal's ability to control the ball without Lucky and Wilshere is completely worthy of the opponent.

Although the passing is not smooth, it is very stable.

Ajax fought for a while, but found that their physical energy was wasted in vain and they failed to create any threat.
