"Arsenal's home stadium is pale! The Red and Blues won the Champions League! 》

"Barcelona is more dominant!" 》

"Arsenal was dragged down by the fierce schedule! 》

"Injury + suspension + decline in form, are the Gunners about to collapse? 》

"Mourinho faces the biggest dilemma!" 》

After losing a game, the media all over Europe badmouthed Arsenal.

Arsenal's performance in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals shocked everyone.

Most people believe that Arsenal will definitely win at home.

If Barcelona wants to advance, it can only rely on the second round.

But the heat will lead to death, and Arsenal actually suffered a near-massacre score of 1:4 at home.

This puts Arsenal in a very passive position.

Barcelona has four away goals and has great initiative.

This means that Arsenal must score at least four goals in the second round to advance, and one less will not be enough.

Many teams will collapse under this kind of pressure.

But Arsenal didn't.

Perhaps it was the long-term victory and the various environments they encountered that gave Arsenal a temperament that became more and more courageous with each setback. After the game, everyone spoke less, but the fighting spirit did not dissipate.

It is worth mentioning that the enthusiasm of the substitutes has become greater.

Arsenal's training ground.

In the small intra-team match, Saka completed a one-stop pass from the wing and easily scored the ball into the goal.

Although this was a small match, he still faced the main full-back Bellerín and central defender Hummels.

Both of them were passed by Saka.

"Great!"

Sarkar celebrated excitedly.

He shows great desire for every goal.

The other substitutes became more active after seeing Saka's performance.

In fact, Arsenal's substitutes have begun to make moves in recent times.

They can see the state of the main players.

Injury after injury, suspension after suspension, bad form and bad form.

It can be said that this is their best opportunity to perform, or to compete for the main force.

Once their performance is recognized by the head coach, they will have the opportunity to play in subsequent leagues and even the Champions League.

The substitutes are extremely keen on controlling this kind of timing.

And just as they thought, Mourinho was indeed considering using substitutes.

This is also something that can't be helped.

At present, Arsenal's three main players have all qualified.

Wilshere and Ramsey are injured.

Mane was suspended for three games in the Champions League. Although it will not affect the league, the consequences of a direct red card are still very serious.

Xhaka's condition is obviously problematic, which requires Mourinho to promote a midfielder and winger.

In his consideration, Lacazette, Saka and Yinwobi became the main candidates.

Even if it doesn't work, then we should play 4-4-2.

But in this way, it is unable to respond to the system and uses uncomfortable tactics, which may eventually lead to a faster collapse.

For this reason, Mourinho still plans to choose between 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 positions.

Among them, he prefers the latter.

Lucky must retreat to the midfielder position.

In the last game, Lucky was unable to retreat in time, resulting in the midfield line being almost beaten by Messi.

Kanter's ability is good, but he cannot cover the area where Messi is located. Even if he can restrict it, it will not be too effective.

Therefore, Lucky's position must be retreated.

Counterattack on the basis of ensuring defense.

Thinking of this, Mourinho couldn't help but shake his head.

Arsenal has been playing too smoothly in recent times, and the stability of the midfield led Mourinho to make a wrong judgment, thinking that placing Lucky forward would not be a big problem.

But the final result was Arsenal's home defeat!

This time, Mourinho learned enough lessons and he will get back on track in the next round.

Of course, in the FA Cup match, new player Odegaard's performance was not bad, but it was obviously not up to the level against Barcelona.

For this reason, he prefers Yin Wobi.

The winger choices are Lacazette and Saka.

Lacazette's position is as a center forward, and although he is a little unaccustomed to it, he can also play as a winger.

Who will finally get the chance needs to be verified.

For this reason, Mourinho plans to verify it in the next round of competition.

The 32nd round of the Premier League.

Arsenal plays Stoke City at home.

Due to two consecutive draws, Stoke City also made some careful thoughts.

Arsenal's current state is not stable, and this may be a good opportunity for them to steal the chicken.

Even if you can't win, it's good to get a draw to stabilize your points.

To this end, Stoke City plans to use its high-altitude tactics again to put some pressure on Arsenal.

There are also several unfamiliar names in Arsenal's starting lineup for this game.

For example, Saka at the winger, Woby Yin at the midfielder, and Lacazette at the center.

Seeing this scene, Stoke City couldn't help but become even more excited.

But they didn't get excited for long, as Arsenal scored just 3 minutes after the opening.

This is a goal of pure individual performance.

Aubameyang completed an amazing trick of passing three people on the wing and blasted the ball directly into Stoke City's goal.

Stoke City wanted to slowly wear down Arsenal, but instead they were caught off guard by Arsenal.

Arsenal's goal was something Stoke City didn't expect.

Aubameyang's sudden outburst is even more so.

When they looked at the score, they were sure they were behind.

As soon as the game started, they fell behind!

"Aubameyang! A crazy passing performance. After two consecutive draws in the league, Aubameyang performed a wonderful passing performance!"

Aubameyang didn't have much excitement on his face, but instead had a fierce look on his face.

Obviously, the experiences in the previous three games made him feel depressed, and this silent explosion was so necessary.

Lucky also looked at Aubameyang in surprise.

At this time, Aubameyang looks like the guy who caused trouble for them in Dortmund.

Aubameyang played too well before.

In other words, I rely too much on my teammates.

And now, in a bad situation, he is starting to shine.

After the first goal, Aubameyang's limit switch seemed to be turned on. His impact from the wing put tremendous pressure on Stoke City.

Stoke City's defense is not weak, but Aubameyang put tremendous pressure on them during the breakthrough.

This not only opened up Aubameyang's wings, but also made the offense on other lines smoother.

Aubameyang is still attacking the opponent's defense.

Arsenal finally reaped the explosive dividends that were overdue for three years.

This is what Mr. 50 million looks like!

Of course, the current 50 million seems to be really worthless, but three years ago it was definitely in the first echelon of transfers.

Mourinho, Arteta and others also stood up suddenly.

Aubameyang made breakthroughs again and again and threatened the opponent's defense every time, which made them applaud.

Mourinho also had an excited expression on his face.

He never expected that in the current difficult situation, Aubameyang's sudden outbreak would bring a huge buffer node to Arsenal.

If Aubameyang maintains this form, he can play different tactics around Aubameyang.

Seeing Aubameyang's strong performance, Arsenal also shifted its offensive focus to Aubameyang's wing.

Lucky only passed the ball towards Aubameyang from the wing. Regardless of whether there was any danger, he believed that Aubameyang could solve it.

This is also true. This guy seemed to have been given a shot of blood, directly knocking the opponent's full-back to pieces.

You can defeat the opponent no matter what, and all the details are full.

At the 31st minute, Aubameyang once again went to the penalty area and shot in sheep's clothing. After earning enough attention, he swung his right foot and followed up with his left foot to kick the ball.

A Henry-style hypothetical true biography.

The ball passed to Lacazette.

Seeing this unexpected surprise, Lacazette was extremely excited.

There was a defensive player in front of him at this time, but he didn't want to give up this opportunity.

"Pass it here!"

Saka, who was at the back, was already outflanking.

But Lacazette still chose to shoot and ignored Saka.

boom!

Not surprisingly, the ball hit the defensive player's chest and flew out of the baseline.

Arsenal also lost this opportunity to score.
