Chapter 1019 Three England vs Barcelona
There were not many people optimistic about Arsenal before the game, but no one expected to score such a score. 4:2 and 6 goals were simply a goal battle. For Benitez, who was more conservative and did not fight desperately in the crisis, this result was a bit surprising.
In fact, not only did the game result be beautiful, but the process was also very exciting. Both sides had the opportunity to eliminate their opponents, and in the end they were more mature. Liverpool won the final victory with more superstars.
Wenger said before the game that this was "the most severe challenge in his coaching career" and ended in failure. The professor's disappointment can be imagined. At the post-match press conference, Wenger said: "The results of the game are really difficult for us to accept, and almost all the important penalty of the referee is against us. In fact, in the past 7 to 8 weeks, we have had to face a series of things you are unwilling to face. We were only one step away from eliminating Liverpool to advance, and we created more opportunities than Liverpool in two rounds. But now, we are out. Of course, we have problems. I think after the game was 2-2, the players have become conservative and not focused. I can only say that this result is a natural disaster."
After this game, Arsenal has been out of four major games. In response, Wenger said that Arsenal will still play the remaining games seriously, but because there is no championship to compete, Arsenal will focus on next season from now on and strive to achieve better results next season.
Arsenal and Liverpool shook hands three times throughout the season. This game performed a full 90 minutes of great joy and sorrow, with 6 goals, and the final four of the Champions League were several times, and were eventually included in Liverpool.
Benitez sighed at this, saying: "This is the 9th time in Liverpool's history to enter the semi-finals of the Champions League. I am proud of it. Some of their players participated in the Champions League final two years ago and are not lacking in experience. We are also experienced in the European arena. The biggest difference is belief. Arsenal is a great team, and the short pass penetration in the game once left us helpless. However, we held on. Liverpool never lacked the ability and will to fight tough battles. In the end, we advanced. Of course, it is hard to say that this time the best team won. They have the ball in control and created many opportunities. However, in the cup game, we are not afraid? What team can eliminate any team."
Now is the Internet era. On the Internet, fans of Liverpool and Arsenal also speak freely about this game and exchange their opinions. Of course, there are also many quarrels and abuses. However, because the game was played wonderfully, I dare not be arrogant when I won, and I felt that even though I lost, I still had a glory, so the communication was still relatively friendly.
Fans of both sides must praise their team and their players, but there is no consensus. This consensus is that Chen Yu played a decisive role in this game. He is the well-deserved world number one. As Arsenal fans said, if Chen Yu and Adebayo switch to the same team, the result of the game will definitely be changed.
After the game, the media also unanimously regarded Chen Yu as the best player in this goal battle. The Times said that Chen Yu forcibly changed the course of history after 2:2 and brought Liverpool to the chariot of winning the championship. Compared with Liverpool, Arsenal lacked Chen Yu, and Gerrard was a superstar who could change the process and results.
The Sun regrets that Arsenal lost its last chance to win the championship. This season brought beautiful vision to Arsenal, but in the four championship competitions, they rose first and then suppressed, and now they have all been eliminated. For many seasons, Arsenal has almost ended the entire season in the same way. Since 2005, Arsenal has never won a game. The reporter believes that although this is because Arsenal pursues art and beauty too much, there are also problems with the team and coach themselves, just like the same style as Arsenal.
Barcelona, they won many championships. The problem with Arsenal is that their style and style are too single, and only one is infiltrated with short passes. In addition, the team's ability to play against the wind is too poor and not tenacious enough. They always become the failure side when they are stalemate. In addition, the forward's ability to attack cities and villages is too poor, which is also a problem that Arsenal has not solved after Henry left. Finally, the Sun suggested that coach Wenger enrich his style of playing, three-dimensional offense, and introduce world-class forwards. Sometimes it is a little more utilitarian, so that Arsenal can get rid of the quagmire without the championship.
The Daily Mail praised the game, believing that it was a classic duel. Although there were no red cards or penalty kicks, the game was ups and downs and suspense, like a novel. Six goals made the fans feel more addicted to it. Liverpool's promotion in the end was reasonable and would make the subsequent semi-finals more exciting, because the other group of people advanced to Chelsea. If the artistic Arsenal and the iron-blooded and conservative Chelsea play, it is estimated that the possibility of Arsenal losing is more than 80%. The battle between Liverpool and Chelsea is full of variables. No one can say which one will advance to the final in the end.
Media fans praised Liverpool and Arsenal's semi-finals, but Chelsea people were full of opinions on this, because they were eliminated by Liverpool last season. When they met Liverpool in the Cup, Chelsea basically never won. This time, they met old enemies again before the finals, and it is inevitable that Chelsea people are afraid.
On the Internet, Chelsea fans are complaining about why Arsenal failed to hold on for the last ten minutes, allowing Liverpool to reach the semi-finals. Chelsea players also say that the opponent is Liverpool is a little worse than Arsenal, and Liverpool is the most difficult opponent in the Champions League.
Chelsea's head coach Grant obviously doesn't want to lose morale before the semi-finals begin. He told reporters the next day intentionally or unintentionally that Chelsea didn't care which Liverpool or Arsenal advanced. Chelsea has lost the qualification to compete for the other three championships. The Champions League is their only goal. For this goal, Chelsea will fight for the last breath. Finally, Grant also said that Chelsea lost both times when they met Liverpool in the Champions League, but it was only three times that Chelsea should win once this time.
With the quarter-finals over, the Champions League finally saw three teams in the same league meeting in the semi-finals for the first time in the history of the Champions League. Consistent with the previous prediction, Roma could not stop Manchester United, which was hidden by Rooney and C. Ronaldo, and Porto was unable to counterattack at the Camp Nou, and the two heroes met successfully. In the other half, the focus was on the confrontation between the Gunners and the Reds: the Arsenal failed 2-4 and the Blues successfully eliminated Fenerbahce and reached the semi-finals three times in four years.
This made the English media feel crazy. Major British media said that the Premier League is now the world's number one league, and three teams have entered the Champions League semi-finals for two consecutive seasons, which is something that no league can do. In addition, the best star Chen Yu also plays for Liverpool in the Premier League, which is enough to show that the Premier League can now attract the best players, the best players, the strongest teams, and the richest bosses in the world. These are all in the Premier League. If anyone asks questions about this, then it is really biased against the Premier League.
The top three Premier League Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and La Liga giants Barcelona entered the semi-finals, which is equivalent to posing a problem for the bookmakers. These four teams are very close in strength. In terms of combat effectiveness, Liverpool is the strongest, and technically, Barcelona is the most awesome. From the perspective of defense and fighting spirit, Chelsea is the strongest. In terms of coaching experience and strength, as well as passionate attributes, Manchester United surpasses the other three. These four teams have the strength to defeat their opponents and advance to the finals. It is really similar to predicting who can win the championship.
Therefore, the odds of winning the championship given by the three major bookmakers are very close to those of the four teams, Liverpool 7/4; Manchester United 3/1; Chelsea 3/1; Barcelona 3/1; except for Liverpool a little higher, the other three giants are exactly the same. It is actually very difficult for Barcelona to get such odds, because they have to face the siege of three Premier League giants. If Barcelona can still reach the top in this situation, then the value of their championship will be too high.
In the semi-finals on April 23, the most popular thing was not the match between Liverpool and Chelsea. Everyone knew that the style of these two teams must be steady defensive counterattacks, especially after meeting in the Champions League, both sides knew the bottom line and knew that their opponents were good at counterattacks. The final result was probably that they were each responsible for the half-time team. In the end, they didn’t know who had a sharp inspiration or the opponent’s mistake to win the game. Of course, it might be another style, that is, both sides suddenly attacked, fought and scored a big score, but the probability was very small, almost the same as winning the lottery.
The most popular game is the battle between Manchester United and Barcelona. Barcelona is the most gorgeous team in the world, with the title of Dream Team, Manchester United is the most passionate team in the world, and the nickname of the Red Devils is enough to tell everything. The game between these two teams is very likely to be full of passion. In addition, fans around the world also want to see the duel between Messi, Rooney and Ronaldo, the three best young talents in the world today.
The best player in the world is of course the world footballer Chen Yu. It turns out that Ronaldinho can still compete with Chen Yu, but Ronaldinho has fallen too fast and can't even play the whole game in Barcelona now. There are rumors outside that after the end of this season, Brazil's genius may go to Serie A to AC Milan for retirement.
Ronaldini is one year younger than Chen Yu. Now Chen Yu is at its peak, while Ronaldinho is already in the tide, which makes people sigh.
