374 Difficult Choice
The 3:2 victory over Chelsea is not enough to excite Arsenal. Even though Arsenal have had a poor record in the Champions League for many years, they are still an experienced team. They know that the second round of the game is not over, and there is nothing to celebrate.
Qin Xiong took a shower, changed his clothes and drove away after receiving a series of physiotherapy including post-match massage, muscle relaxation and fatigue recovery from the team doctor.
When he was driving away from Highbury, Arsenal fans on both sides of the road recognized his car, or after seeing him sitting in the driving seat, many fans gave him a thumbs up or gave him a thumbs up on the side of the road. He applauds.
Just as BBC Sports commented on the performance of Qin Xiong, the best player in the game, said later.
"It was another night of fantastic performance. Qin Xiong is on his way to becoming a world-class superstar. His role in key games is becoming more and more obvious. He has used his talents to the extreme. All three assists are pleasing to the eye. Left and right heels, hands throwing the ball and using teammates to hit the wall, this is what geniuses do, and the audience will be shocked, thinking: how can this kid play like this?! Yes, he is playing like this , shockingly helped the team to victory. Chelsea conceded three goals in the Champions League for the first time this season, all of which came from Qin Xiong's assists. His creativity has already made him move towards the world's No. [-] midfielder , although Chelsea also has Lampard, who aspires to be the world's number one midfielder, but the two players belong to different styles. In terms of appreciation, Qin Xiong's creativity makes him always the headline figure in the green world. I don't know Are there any fans who are in the same mood as me now, and will continue to pay attention to Qin Xiong's games from the beginning, to see what imaginative performances this talented star from the East will perform!"
Wenger's war of words with Mourinho escalated again after the game.
"Chelsea's tactics are backwards! Especially the posturing in the last few minutes of the game is disgusting. Mourinho slams Tottenham for putting the bus. Look what his team is doing now? They will only be ugly. Winning! But Chelsea lost against a team that really wanted beautiful football, and despite their two away goals, we will prove at Stamford Bridge that Arsenal deserve more than qualify for the Champions League semi-finals!"
"I don't know how Wenger has the confidence to judge my team tactically. In my opinion, if Arsenal don't have No. 11 Qin Xiong. They will lose at Highbury. Who can tell me. It's Wenger. Ge trained Pires to take a bad corner kick, did Qin Xiong deliberately strengthen the second pass with his heel? Or did Wenger train the cross to let Qin Xiong use the scorpion tail to assist? Or the sideline kick Deliberately smashing on his teammates to form an unexpected attack is also what Wenger emphasized in tactical training? Ljungberg's blank expression after turning around has told us the truth! Qin Xiong's performance is very exciting, he has improved even more than last year, He deserved to be voted man of the match today, I praised his performance, but it doesn't mean that Arsenal's tactics are more advanced or better than Chelsea's. I am now looking forward to playing Arsenal again at Stamford Bridge in a week's time !"
......
Qin Xiong and several players in the team who were seriously exhausted were given a two-day vacation as an exception.
For the past two days, Qin Xiong stayed in the apartment, and after eating, he slept and recovered his energy.
Just when he was resting.
Both Mourinho and Wenger have to make a difficult choice.
The reason why the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season is extremely difficult, because the interval between the two rounds is only one week!
There is not much time left for the team to adjust and buffer.
In the first round of the game itself, both Arsenal and Chelsea sent their main players to play in the previous weekend's league due to the stalemate in the league championship situation.
Neither team can take it lightly, any league loss or draw may ruin a season's efforts.
It can be said that the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals is the second game in 1 days!
In addition to the consumption of FIFA match days before, the physical consumption at this stage is not just something that can be deduced and imagined by looking through the club's schedule.
Even though Chelsea held high the banner of defensive counterattack, the consumption was low.But in the sprint towards the end of the season, when targeted opponents are also fighting for points, it becomes necessary for Chelsea to be more proactive.Therefore, the consumption in the league should not be underestimated.
Such a cruel choice lies ahead!
Even if you exclude the consumption of FIFA match days.
After two wars in 4 days, it's the weekend.The third game of the seventh day.
How do the two teams line up in the league?
Anyway, in the second round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in the middle of next week, which is the fourth game on the 1th day, it is impossible for the two teams to send substitutes!Absolutely all the main force will be dispatched, and elite soldiers and strong generals will be dispatched!
The key is that if in the third game, which is the 32nd round of the Premier League this weekend, will the two teams give the main players a rest?
Both Wenger and Mourinho are having headaches.
Fleet Street directly helped the two teams analyze the current situation.
The "Daily Mail" listed the pros and cons of the situation faced by the two teams.
Arsenal are 2 points behind Chelsea in the league. With 7 rounds left in the league, according to Chelsea's stability and terror in the league, there is absolutely no room for losing points.This is one of them, illustrating the importance of the league.
其二是阿森纳在欧冠1/4决赛第一回合中拿到了3:2的领先优势。纵然也许考虑到客场进球因素和下一回合去斯坦福桥的客场劣势,3:2真不代表什么,但至少比分上阿森纳领先着。
The third is the league opponents. In the 32nd round, Arsenal will be a guest at the Riverside Stadium and challenge the host Middlesbrough there.
This is by no means an easy game.
Middlesbrough has goals and ambitions. Under the leadership of Ferguson's former assistant coach and current Middlesbrough coach McLaren, Middlesbrough ranks seventh in the league and is expected to enter the UEFA Cup next season. Middlesbrough's strength may indeed upset Arsenal, the goalkeeper has Schwarzer, the defense has veterans Southgate and Exiogu, and the midfielder also has Zenden, Mendieta, Downing , and the old Arsenal player Parlor, with Hasselbaink and Viduka on the front line!
With Middlesbrough sitting at home like this, how can Arsenal have the confidence to send a substitute to defeat their opponents?
Chelsea's situation is the exact opposite of Arsenal's.
Chelsea lead the league by 2 points.
After losing in the first round of the Champions League, in order to reverse Arsenal in the second round, they must show stronger combat effectiveness at home!
This round of Chelsea will sit at home at Stamford Bridge against underdogs Birmingham.
It can be said that Birmingham has no pursuit. They have 37 points and are far away from the relegation zone. Even if they lose to Chelsea, no one will doubt that Birmingham can finally succeed in relegation. After all, there are still 6 games, and they only need to win 1 game Or 2 draws, basically it is locked to continue to survive in the Premier League next season!
The situation in front of Arsenal and Chelsea can be said to be stalemate and complicated but in some places it is the opposite.
Chelsea lead the league.
Arsenal take the lead in the Champions League.
When the league and the Champions League compete at the same time, how to choose?
The choice of the two coaches will be announced when the weekend league kicks off at the same time! (to be continued~^~)
