A week later, Arsenal faced Manchester United in the FA Cup.

This is the FA Cup semi-final.

Arsenal reached the FA Cup semi-finals with a group of young people, and it can be seen how outstanding their performance was.

In this game, Mourinho still did not mobilize too many main players when facing Manchester United.

After all, for Mourinho, the FA Cup is a training ground.

He doesn't care who owns the championship.

Even if it is eliminated, it will be eliminated.

An FA Cup championship cannot satisfy Mourinho's ambitions, and he does not want to spend Arsenal's limited energy on this issue.

The match will be played at Old Trafford.

Manchester United fans are still fanatical.

Even though Manchester United's form has been ups and downs in recent seasons, Red Devils fans still follow the team firmly.

Mourinho has become the most disliked man at Manchester United.

The main reason is that Mourinho led Arsenal to beat Manchester United violently, which made Manchester United fans embarrassed.

At the same time, they were also feeling sour in their hearts.

Why is Mourinho able to produce this level of training at Arsenal, but not at Manchester United?

However, the fans have no experience in delving into the problems inside. The most they do is abuse.

There were loud boos.

These boos are for Mourinho and the Arsenal players.

In this game, Arsenal adopted a 4-3-3 formation.

Goalkeeper: Martinez.

Defenders: Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Robertson.

Midfielder: Kante, Odegaard, Xhaka.

Forwards: Saka, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

There is no doubt that the focus of this game is still on Aubameyang.

Lucky did not start in this game. In fact, Lucky has been sitting on the bench since the third round of the FA Cup.

Mourinho does not want Lucky to waste his energy in this game

The same was true for this game. Mourinho just found a reason to let Lucky sit on the bench and not play the game.

Lucky is also happy to see the results, mainly because he has been a little too tired recently.

There is no need to start, and Lucky does not need to participate in the warm-up before the game.

A man was kicking a ball around, and Lucky saw Arteta looking seriously at the warm-up area.

Lucky held the ball in his arms and walked over.

"Are you so nervous?"

Lucky's sudden voice brought Arteta back to his senses. He sighed and said, "I'm a little nervous. This game is different."

Lucky glanced at Arteta and then looked at the warm-up area.

"Both Saka and Odegaard performed well, Saka performed better, and Odegaard improved very quickly!"

Lucky commented.

Saka himself came from Arsenal's youth training. He easily integrated into Arsenal's system and his own abilities are also very good.

Odegaard, on the other hand, has been neglected for a period of time, but now he has adjusted his condition and is accelerating his progress.

It can be said that both players have performed well enough to have a promising future.

"But even young players need to be tempered in competitions!" Arteta looked at Lucky and said; "When did you start playing as the main player in the Champions League?"

Lucky was stunned for a moment.

When asked suddenly, he couldn't remember.

"About 18?"

Lucky gave a general answer.

Arteta nodded and said: "Look, you are already playing in the Champions League at the age of 18, and they can't even start in the Premier League!"

"We need to give them more opportunities to play!"

At this point, the warm-up is over.

Everyone returned to the locker room under Mourinho's shout.

After the final preparation period, Arsenal's players also began to walk out of the stadium under the leadership of Koscielny, the captain on the field.

Before leaving the dressing room, Arteta suddenly stopped Saka.

"Remember! All strong players start by seizing opportunities!"

Saka looked at Arteta blankly.

He didn't know why Arteta was so serious and his tone was so solemn.

Although he didn't quite understand, he still nodded vigorously.

"I'll do my best!"

Arteta watched Saka leave.

Lucky stepped forward wearing a substitute vest.

"Do you think highly of him?"

Arteta said: "I am optimistic about all the young players in the squad."

Lucky looked at Arteta carefully for a moment and smiled: "You are becoming more and more like a professor."

This sentence made Arteta stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Thanks for the compliment!"

After saying that, the two of them walked out of the locker room together and walked along the players' tunnel.

Along the way, the eyes of Manchester United players glanced at Lucky from time to time.

Their eyes were a little complicated.

I don’t know if I’m angry or happy

But Lucky knows that there is a high probability that he will not play in this game.

Even when losing.

After all, they will soon face the crucial second round of the Champions League.

At this time, Mourinho will not let Lucky waste his energy by playing such a game.

The FA Cup is not important for Arsenal.

After all, they are competing for the Champions League and the league title.

But for Manchester United, this game is important.

Manchester United has been without a championship for many years.

Solskjaer also urgently needs a championship to stabilize the morale of the army.

Although the FA Cup champion is not so impressive, mosquito legs are still meat even when they are small!

An FA Cup title may bring a certain morale boost to Manchester United.

Perhaps it will allow them to perform better next season with the bonus of the championship.

Of course, a large part of the reason is Arsenal's attitude of giving up the FA Cup.

But even so, Manchester United still cannot relax.

A large number of Arsenal's main players did not play, but Aubameyang's status has been confirmed in the last game.

Once this guy breaks out, it will be really unbearable.

Kanter in the midfield is annoying enough.

The defense of Mustafi and Koscielny is not as strong as the partnership of Hummels and Jimenez, but these two are not so easy to deal with.

It can be said that Arsenal seems to be training, but there is a main force on each front.

And these main forces are enough to cause them trouble.

As soon as the game started, Manchester United launched a tight defense against Aubameyang.

Their idea is simple. As long as they limit Aubameyang, they can cut off Arsenal's offensive hub. After all, most of Arsenal's offense is opened up by Aubameyang.

This move by Manchester United is undoubtedly telling Arsenal that you can play on the right wing if you have the ability!

After Saka saw Aubameyang being restricted, he was also a little anxious.

He frequently started to drop back to receive the ball, but Manchester United made heavy defensive moves against him.

There are often fierce confrontations, which Saka, a technical player, is not used to.

Although he trained with Lucai for a while, he was unable to become strong enough because his body was not fully developed.

And Saka is not a player who needs to rely on resistance to ensure the ball.

In this case, Saka pursed his lips.

He retreated again, and Manchester United's Matic also followed up.

But this time, Saka's retracement position was very deep. When Matic wanted to follow up, Kanter had already passed the ball to Saka.

After Saka received the ball, he immediately passed it out.

Lacazette received the ball. He subconsciously looked to Aubameyang on the left and found that the latter was surrounded by everyone.

Lacazette wanted to go it alone, when a voice came.

"Pass it to me!"

Lacazette turned his head to face the other side. He saw Saka running forward and leaving Matic a certain distance away.

After a moment of hesitation, Lacazette passed the ball.

But it was this hesitation that made Matic catch up with Saka, who was unable to break through immediately. Helplessly passed the ball back.

This is a detail. It seems that Saka failed to break through, but it was indeed Lacazette who passed the ball slowly.

This detail was also seen by Mourinho, Lucky and others off the court.

"Lacazette! This guy didn't hesitate so much when he played in training matches!"

Lucky grinned and shook his head.

Arteta said; "Facing his own competitors, he naturally doesn't want to pass the ball to the opponent."

Lucky frowned slightly.

Arteta continued; "Think about it, what would be the result if Lacazette was replaced by Giroud?"

Lucky pondered for a moment, and Giroud's passing option came to mind.

But no matter which option is chosen, Arsenal's attack will be pushed to the opponent's penalty area, forming a threat to the goal.

This is the difference and gap between Lacazette and Giroud!
