Chapter three hundred and forty seventh wish

The score of 1:0 has not changed at all, but this score is enough for Arsenal to enter the semi-finals, not to mention that this is just the score in the second leg, with Arsenal eliminating Monaco 3:0 in the big score.

When referee Colum blew the whistle of the game, Li Shou, who was standing in front of the door, suddenly fell down and kissed Louis II's lawn affectionately.

To make a show? Of course not. Li Shou doesn't need to do such a thing. As an Arsenal player, he doesn't need to please his former club.

This is just a true love. After all, Monaco is the first team in Li Shou's career and the starting point of his career.

With the end of the match between Arsenal and Monaco, four teams in the Champions League semi-finals were fully released, and the Champions League Madrid derby ended with Real Madrid winning.

Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

In terms of paper strength, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the strongest, then Bayern Munich, and finally Arsenal, but in terms of record, Arsenal is the best.

In six group stages, four games were played in the knockout stages, and not only did Arsenal not lose a single goal, but also won all the games.

So the next semi-finals are very valuable because no one knows which team can enter the next round.

The day after returning to London, all Arsenal players refused to say together again, because the draw for the semi-finals was about to take place.

"There is no difference between these teams and anyone else." Looking at the other three teams, the Arsenal players did not feel lucky.

"I hope to meet the La Liga doubles," Li Shou said unwillingly.

"You've got your wish." However, after Li Shou finished speaking, the lottery results on TV came out.

UEFA did not let two La Liga teams fight each other again, and it is estimated that UEFA's script is like letting Real Madrid and Barcelona meet in the final.

Real Madrid, Arsenal's semi-final opponent, Li Shou's dream team.

If Real Madrid and Barcelona can be defeated and won the championship, the value of gold will be completely different, and it will be of great help to the next Golden Ball Awards selection.

The draw ended and the players dispersed to rest. The Champions League semi-finals were in May. Although it was the end of April, it was two weeks before the game, and there was a difficulty in front of Arsenal.

The third round of the league is Arsenal will usher in Chelsea at home. This is not only a 6-point game, but also a game that determines the championship this season.

If Arsenal wins Chelsea, the gap between Arsenal and Chelsea will be pulled back to 9 points. If the make-up game is played, the make-up game between Arsenal and Sunderland will be three days after the match against Chelsea.

If Arsenal wins Sunderland, then Arsenal can pull the difference to 12 points. With only four rounds left in the league, Arsenal's 12 points have already ensured the championship.

But if you lose, the gap between Arsenal and Chelsea will narrow to 3 points. Even if you win the make-up game, there will be only 6 points left. There are still four rounds in the league. Chelsea will have a chance to overtake. Don't forget that Arsenal still has the Champions League semi-finals to play, not to mention that Arsenal may not necessarily win Sunderland.

If Arsenal does not defeat Sunderland, the score difference between the two sides will be only 3 points, which will definitely be a heavy blow to Arsenal's morale.

If Wenger is asked to choose between the league and the Champions League, Wenger will definitely choose the Champions League without hesitation, because he has never won the Champions League championship, and Arsenal has never scored in the Champions League championship.

Therefore, Arsenal must not lose against Chelsea. If he wins, not only will the league championship be basically won, but he can also prepare for the semi-finals of Real Madrid's Champions League. If he loses, Arsenal needs to make a choice, otherwise he may be left alone.

The media began to madly operate the game between Arsenal and Chelsea, but Arsenal players ignored the outside world. At Wenger's request, Arsenal players made every effort to prepare for the game.

If Arsenal is not provoking trouble, it does not mean that Chelsea is not provoking trouble. Mourinho is a head coach who is very good at psychological warfare. It is Mourinho's strength to talk to his opponent before the game.

"Arsena is an excellent head coach, but it depends on whom he compares with," Mourinho said arrogantly in an interview.

Speaking of the grudge between the two, it will start with Mourinho taking over Chelsea. Wenger pointed out that Mourinho's coaching style was too utilitarian. Mourinho's counterattack against Wenger was a voyeuristic man.

In 2007, the conflict between the two escalated. Mourinho ridiculed Wenger for interfering with his team too much, and Wenger then scolded Mourinho for being "stupid".

Mourinho then left, and the grudges of the two came to an end for the time being, but after Mourinho entered the palace and returned to Chelsea for the second time, the grudges of the two were staged again. In the first round of this season, the two almost staged a real-life pk.

In the first round of the fight, Wenger was dissatisfied with the referee's penalty and kept complaining to the fourth official. Mourinho naturally would not watch it. Then the two of them changed from being criticized to pushing. Fortunately, the fourth official stood up in time, otherwise the pushing would probably turn into fighting each other.

So this season, Arsenal was able to surpass Chelsea in the standings and even widen the gap to 12 points for a time. It was a very proud thing for Wenger.

But Wenger also knew that Arsenal was still not as strong as Chelsea in the round. Although Wenger would not admit it, he still saw it clearly in his heart. This is also the reason why Wenger was unwilling to quarrel with Mourinho before the game.

As for the current Premier League, when it comes to understanding Mourinho, no one can compare with Wenger. There is a saying that people who know you best are often your enemies.

It is precisely because of his understanding that Wenger has to stop his disciples from standing up to respond to Mourinho's provocation, because Wenger is afraid that his disciples will be affected by Mourinho.

Even for the final championship, Wenger himself was not prepared to pay attention to Mourinho, because in this upcoming game, Wenger's primary pursuit is not victory.

As Mourinho knows, Arsenal will be involved in the Champions League, and Arsenal itself is not strong. With the Champions League involvement, Arsenal will definitely not be able to face Chelsea in the best condition.

It is tempting to win Chelsea, but Wenger knows that winning Chelsea is not an easy task. Instead of pushing the goal so high, it is better to pursue a more practical goal.

Wenger has already considered it very clearly. Arsenal does not actually need to defeat Chelsea. It is enough to have a draw. The 6-point gap seems to be small, but the league has not had a few rounds, and instead of fighting with Chelsea, it is better to win the make-up match with Sanders in a few days.

Chelsea is a championship team, while Sanders is a relegation team. It is clear which one is stronger and who is weak.
