Chapter 344: The possibility of competing for the golden ball

Although Reading is at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, Arsenal has not continued to expand the score. If the victory is already guaranteed, it will be a bit unworthy of the loss if the goal is pursued and some players are injured.

So Arsenal was not pursuing goals, and Reading did not dare to foul the game because of the disadvantage of having too many yellow cards. The two sides finally played this game in a tacit understanding.

But when Atkinson blew the whistle to the end of the game, Aston Villa's match against Liverpool officially began at another stadium.

According to the paper strength of the two teams, Liverpool will definitely enter the next round, but the paper strength of the football game cannot represent everything. Don’t forget that the two teams must also concentrate on the league.

Liverpool still has hope of competing for the top four. After Manchester United lost to Chelsea, the gap between Liverpool and Manchester United is 6 points, which is still the case when Liverpool plays one round less.

There are four teams in the 33rd round of the league that need to be postponed, and Liverpool is one of them, so as long as Liverpool wins the postponed game, Manchester United will only lead Liverpool by 3 points.

In the FA Cup championship and the Champions League qualification, Rodgers knows who should choose as long as he is not a fool, let alone Liverpool had already learned that Arsenal had entered the FA Cup final before the start of the game.

As for Aston Villa, they are still in danger of relegation who have only scored 30 points. The first level difference between the English Championship and the Premier League is only one level, but the gap between the sky and the earth is definitely not comparable to a FA Cup champion.

Besides, when Arsenal entered the finals, neither Liverpool nor Aston Villa actually has little hope, because the starting goalkeeper in the FA Cup final is definitely Li Shou, and Arsenal has not lost the starting game of Li Shou this season.

In fact, we can know from the starting list of the two teams that Liverpool and Villa are both semi-main and half-substitute, and the game process is quite boring.

To use an explanatory sentence to describe it, "both teams lack the determination to win."

The two teams, which had no desire to win, finally decided on penalty kicks. After the 90-minute battle, the score between the two sides was still 0:0. The overtime failed to change the score on the field. The two teams could only pass the penalty kick in the end.

The goddess of luck seemed to be standing on Aston Villa's side. When the last Liverpool player kicked the penalty kick, Aston Villa successfully entered the FA Cup final.

Aston Villa's entry into the final is definitely good news for Arsenal. Although Arsenal is confident, he can win both against Villa and Liverpool.

In fact, it doesn't matter who the absolute opponent is for Arsenal, because the FA Cup final was after the league ended, and it was estimated that everything had been settled.

So after the match against Reading, Arsenal's attention has shifted to the second leg of the European quarterfinals in the middle of the week.

Although the outside world thinks that Arsenal will enter the Champions League semi-finals, Monaco will definitely not give up like this. If Arsenal himself has the same task, the biggest possibility of the final game is a tragedy.

But will Arsenal think so? Will Wenger really dare to think so? As Arsenal's head coach and as the head coach who has coached the team for nearly 20 years, Wenger is undoubtedly the person who knows the team's strength the most.

No, after the game against Reading, Wenger called the entire coaching staff to the tactical room for a meeting, and then called the players together.

As for Arsenal players, no one else can know, but Li Shou will definitely not be careless at all, because his ambitions do not allow him to be careless.

In the Triple Crown Championship, Li Shou never thought that he could threaten Messi and Ronaldo so quickly, but after the team had the opportunity to win the Triple Crown Championship, Li Shou felt that his ambitions were likely to be realized in advance.

Li Shou himself is also very clear that the biggest contributor to Arsenal's current performance is himself, so as long as he continues to perform like before, when Arsenal really wins the triple-winning championship, he is qualified to attack the Golden Globes.

The Golden Ball Awards before the competition accounted for a very important proportion. Li Shou could not compare with the striker in scoring goals, but Li Shou's role in defense is obvious to all.

To be honest, Li Shou scored not a small number of goals in the Champions League. In three Champions League goals, many forwards may not score as many goals as Li Shou, and Li Shou’s three goals are very critical.

Furthermore, Arsenal's Champions League journey is not over yet, and Li Shou still has a chance to score for the team. If Arsenal enters the semi-finals, he may face the La Liga doubles.

In the first round, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid had a 0:0 match. According to the current situation, the two teams had a chance to advance to 55. Barcelona, ​​like Arsenal, had mostly entered the next round.

As for the first leg between Porto and Bayern Munich, although it was a bit unexpected, Bayern Munich was still better in the end.

Bayern Munich, who played one day earlier than Arsenal, defeated Porto with a 6:1 score after returning to home, and finally entered the semi-finals 7:4 in two rounds.

While Bayern Munich broke into the semi-finals, Barcelona also successfully knocked Paris Saint-Germain down, and the 5:1 score in two rounds declared the gap between the two teams.

After Paris Saint-Germain lost the game, the Barcelona president received a offer on his desk, a offer from Paris Saint-Germain to Messi.

Since you can't win, then buy it. This is the strategy of a rich man, but it is obvious that Messi, who is at the peak, cannot go to Ligue 1, and Barcelona will not buy it.

After Messi was rejected, the owner of Paris Saint-Germain did not give up. He began to put his eyes down on another Barcelona player, and was not praised as a Brazilian genius Neymar who could take over Messi and C Roban.

However, this third person is now a bit unworthy of his reputation. It is not a good decision to be Messi's deputy. Li Shou has appeared now.

Neymar also has great ambitions. Perhaps at first he thought it was good to go to Barcelona and could take over Messi's team, but he soon regretted it because Messi was in such a good state. If Messi really waited for Messi to take over before he took over, he would probably have nothing to do with him.

Seeing the reality clearly, Neymar has begun to consider leaving Messi's influence. The best way to leave Messi's influence is to leave Barcelona. However, with the current situation, Neymar is having some difficulties in leaving Barcelona. Not to mention whether Barcelona will let him go easily, his net worth alone is enough to discourage many teams.

So it is a very wise choice for Li Shou to not choose Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​because the focus of these two teams is always on Messi and Ronaldo, and others can only act as supporting roles in the past.
