No one from Barcelona dared to pick it up, but the bookmakers were quite optimistic about Arsenal, and they were far ahead in terms of odds.
And Barcelona wins the Champions League?
They can't even make it into the top five, ahead of them are Liverpool, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern and Paris.
So what if we have Messi, it's still not the most promising club.
But Arsenal, with Luo Wu, was favored.
However, when Arsenal celebrated the League Cup championship the next day, Luo Wu did not attend, but chose to rest in a mansion.
It's not that this family can endure loneliness.
I had a physical examination earlier and found out that the injury to my right ankle was serious again and I needed to rest again.
Emery didn't dare to take any chances and gave him a fifteen-day holiday.
Recuperation is the most important thing.
Even if it's the Europa League knockout round, he doesn't intend to let Luo Wu take risks.
The opponent is very weak. If you can't get through this, you will be speechless.
During the expedition to Belarus, Luo Wu stayed at home.
The opponent is Borisov.
Borisov's club's strength is very average. If it performs normally, Arsenal should have no problem winning it.
Emery brought all the main players he could.
The betting company is still optimistic about them and thinks they can win by two goals in the away game.
Arsenal fans are also full of confidence. Although Luo Wu did not accompany the team to the away game, they believe that the team can easily win the game.
Before the game, Harland also vowed that he would definitely be able to score goals, saying that he would definitely shoulder the heavy responsibility of scoring goals without the captain.
But it’s still very cold in Belarus in February, and the court conditions are also very bad.
It was snowing heavily on the day of the game, but it didn't get lighter until an hour before the game.
However, the game had to be postponed for two hours while staff on site were clearing away the snow.
It was already very cold, and coupled with the away game, the Arsenal players were not used to it in the ice and snow.
Maybe they were afraid of getting hurt, so everyone played cautiously, but their opponents played very excitedly.
Arsenal did not have the advantage.
On the contrary, Borisov had many opportunities and almost broke through Arsenal's goal in the third minute.
That is to say, Martinez was lucky, and the opponent's shot slipped past the goal.
But then Martinez was tested for the second time. It was still a long shot from outside the penalty area. Martinez saved the ball and let it go.
The ball rolled out of the baseline.
A corner kick was taken and the ball was cleared with a header from Papastathopoulos.
But the Borisov player outside the penalty area once again met the ball with a long shot.
The ball was too slippery, and Martinez once again made the mistake of throwing away the ball.
As a result, the goddess of luck did not favor him this time, and the opponent's forward hit a follow-up shot from the right side of the penalty area.
The substitute goalkeeper is still the substitute goalkeeper, it will never become a climate.
Even though he knew the ball was slippery, he still wanted to catch it. Isn't this stupid?
You should hit the ball with your fist.
But it was too late now, Emery could only vomit blood in anger.
In just 5 minutes, Arsenal fell behind.
It's really shocking.
There is nothing terrible about falling behind.
Bad luck is even more terrible.
A few minutes later, midfielder Guendouzi strained his groin during the scramble and had to be replaced by Torreira early.
It was really raining all night when the house was leaking.
Losing troops and generals.
Not long after Xhaka returned from injury, Guendouzi and Elneny were injured again.
I guess even God doesn't want to see Arsenal playing with all their main players, forcing the game to become more difficult.
It's the 15th minute.
Arsenal were actually two goals behind.
There was chaos in the penalty area, and there was another burst of random shots. As a result, Papastathopoulos scored an own goal.
Everything really happened.
No one could have imagined that Arsenal would fall behind by two goals in the first 15 minutes.
This is the knockout round of the Europa League, and Luo Wu is not included.
But even if Luo Wu is brought along, there is nothing he can do, he will not be able to play at all.
Now the problem is big.
It's very possible to lose the game here.
The only lucky thing is that this is only the first round of the game, and Arsenal still have a chance to make a comeback when they return to London.
As long as the total score wins, that's fine.
Emery is extremely anxious. He has never been so bad in the Europa League.
He has led the team to win the Europa League many times. It can be said that he is the king of coaches in the Europa League.
In fact, what is before him is still Arsenal's biggest shortcoming, which is that Arsenal are always so unreliable when they lack Luo Wu.
Even if there is a goal in front of the little prince Haaland.
Fans from other clubs who were watching the game cheered like it was a holiday.
They hope Arsenal continue to concede goals.
Theoretically, as long as Arsenal concede more goals in the first round, the closer they will be to advancing.
If Arsenal suffers a big defeat, even if Luo Wu comes back, they can't reverse it.
Didn't Luo Wu just tell Arsenal fans on the pitch that he wanted to win the Europa League?
It looked like he was about to be slapped in the face.
If you are eliminated in the first round of the knockout round, you will be laughed at by fans all over the world.
Everyone is waiting to see the joke.
Borisov also cooperated very well. In the 38th minute, they actually rewritten the score to 3:0.
Arsenal really failed to live up to expectations.
Without Luo Wu, everything would be a piece of shit, without exception.
Just like the League Cup final.
At that time, we were also behind 0:3.
The same is true now.
Luo Wu, who was sitting in front of the TV watching the game at home, almost wanted to smash the remote control on the TV.
I was really scared by my teammates.
Now I can’t wait to get on a plane and rush to Belarus immediately.
