Chapter 233 The suspense of the championship remains
The Champions League is over for a week.
Arsenal quickly recovered from the loss of the Champions League defeat.
In fact, for Arsenal players, this loss is not unacceptable. They did not have much expectations for the Champions League, and the semi-final elimination was a very good result.
And this game experience also has a great role in promoting them, allowing them to play better next season.
Of course, a bigger part of it is because of the league.
The current Arsenal record is 28-6-2, and they are at the top of the table with 90 points after 36 rounds of the league.
Chelsea were just one point behind.
In the Champions League semi-finals, Chelsea also lost to Atletico Madrid and missed the Champions League final.
The two Premier League teams have all been liberated from the Champions League to compete for the league title.
This has a huge impact on both Arsenal and Chelsea.
From the current situation, Liverpool were defeated by Chelsea 1:0 in the 5th round, resulting in falling behind.
If the two teams do not lose in 37 rounds, Liverpool's hopes of winning the title are basically gone.
But no one thinks that Arsenal and Chelsea will lose the game, and the title of the league is likely to be extended to the 38th round, which is the match between Arsenal and Chelsea at home.
The Premier League is likely to usher in the most popular final round of the league in the past decade.
Direct dialogue between Arsenal and Chelsea to compete for the league title.
This is the championship queue.
The relegation zone is Norwich, Fulham and Cardiff City.
These three teams are basically half-lying, especially Norwich’s consecutive defeats and blows, the chaos within the club, and even rumors of infighting, which is even more detrimental to their relegation.
Norwich's relegation is only in theory, while Fulham and Cardiff City are a glimmer of hope.
Whether it is in the championship zone or the relegation zone, the points are bitten to death.
This is the famous Premier League chaos!
Even in the 36th round, there is still no confirmed championship and relegation places.
On May 4th, the Arsenal team took a bus to West Bromwich, a city in central England.
They will play West Brom here.
West Brom are 14th in the league with 36 points, temporarily in the safe zone and not yet in danger of relegation.
So the whole team is in a state of relaxation.
Even at home, they don't have much initiative.
In this case, Arsenal, who have the potential to compete for the title, started to exert their strength and scored two goals in just 30 minutes.
Walcott scored twice!
Lekai and Cazorla each have an assist!
Even with a two-goal lead, Arsenal did not intend to relax at all, and continued to attack.
"Arsenal is still attacking, they want to get out of the Champions League!"
Sky Sports commentator Paul Mawson's mouth trembled.
He is the narrator, he needs a neutral narrator.
But seeing Arsenal playing so well, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Dixon on the side of is in the same state.
But the reason for the latter's excitement is not because of how well the sought-after performance is, but because of Lucky's change.
Looking at the figure running rampant in the midfield, Dixon's eyes were shining.
"Cazorla passed the ball to Kai, Kai didn't pass the ball, he was watching! Dorrance and Mulumbus went up to press! Oh~~~~~~ What did I see?"
Dixon exclaimed, and immediately laughed: "Fried balls! Kai actually used the technical action of fried balls! Although it lacks some agility and has some more confrontational attributes, it is indeed deep-frying. Meatballs! Mmmm! Power-type croquettes!"
On the court, Mulumbu was forcibly pushed away by Lucky.
The brief contact between the two made Mulumbu feel the power gap between the two.
Lucky just turned around slightly and put his shoulders on top, and he couldn't hold it anymore.
Lake, the fried balls, were squeezed by force.
But there is no way, no matter what, this is a success.
After Lekai got rid of the defense of the two, he directly used the outer instep to rub out a 'ground arc cut'.
passed through the middle of the West Brom centre-back and full-back, and came exactly in front of Walcott.
"Kai's stunt! Rainbow pass!"
Paul Mawson yelled.
This is the name given by Dixon. Now this arc sticking to the ground is Lucky's stunt and synonymous with it. Because it is as beautiful as a rainbow and has an arc, it is named "Rainbow Pass".
Lekai's 'rainbow pass' directly let Walcott take the ball into the penalty area.
In the face of the opponent's goalkeeper's knockdown and block, Walcott calmly volleyed and expanded the score again.
3:0!
Arsenal are sure to win!
The whole Hawthorn Stadium was silent.
West Brom fans looked extremely ugly, they were very dissatisfied with the performance of the home team.
Even if they were lying flat, the lying posture of these guys was too disgusting.
And seeing the Arsenal players celebrate again, they were even more angry.
For a while, the stands were full of condemnation and scolding.
Arsenal's coaching bench, Wenger and Patrice stood on the sidelines.
Both of them looked at Lucky with joy in their eyes.
"Practice out!"
Patrice's voice carries excitement, emotion, relief, etc.
Wenger also nodded and smiled: "I'm still not sure about the Bernabeu game, but now it's confirmed, Kai's organization and ball handling are enough."
Wenger turned his head to look at Patrice and said; "It's hard work!"
He knew very well that the reason why Lucky could play so well was inseparable from the old guy in front of him.
Patrice is very good at teaching players, Cesc Fabregas is his masterpiece, and now there is another Lucky.
Patrice said with a smile in his eyes, "I'm very fortunate now, when you forced Kai to me, I can't imagine how much I would regret it now if I refused at that time!"
Patrice said proudly; "He is my most satisfying work! He is perfect! It is also my last gift to Arsenal."
Wenger was stunned for a moment, looked at Patrice's chest calmly, and found that the other party's chest rose and fell quickly
But Wenger did not mention it, but turned his head and continued to look at the game.
After the first goal, Arsenal became more and more out of control.
Especially the post-organization point of Lucky, West Brom can't limit it at all.
Even if Lucky stepped forward, they found that they couldn't grab the ball at all.
Lucky is not the same type of player as Cazorla.
Cazorla is more flexible, but Lucky is tougher!
If they were asked to choose, they felt that Cazorla's ball would be better off. After all, if you want to grab the ball from Lucky's feet, you must first suppress the opponent's ability to fight.
But it's not an easy task!
The game time comes to 75 minutes.
Wenger makes a substitution.
Cazorla, Lucky and Walcott were replaced.
For Arsenal, the game is over.
West Brom have no will to fight, there is no need to let the main players continue to consume each other in garbage time, and it is better to take a break.
Arteta and others came off the bench.
Lucky gave Arteta a high five.
The latter has not been played for a long time.
Since Arsenal established Lucky's core attributes, Arteta has gradually bid farewell to the main force.
Now, Lucky has become a big core, and Arteta has basically been reduced to Lucky's backup.
In this regard, Arteta has no complaints.
He is very aware of Lucky's strength.
It can be said that he watched Lucky grow up step by step and surpass himself.
"Great kick!"
Artetazan said.
Le Kai smiled: "I'll leave it to you next, don't be overturned."
Arteta laughed; "Don't worry! I'm not used to tough battles, but this situation can still be handled."
After finishing speaking, Arteta came on the court, and Luckey also returned to the bench, wiped his face with a towel, and sat down comfortably.
As Arteta said, the game has basically not changed.
West Brom also made some substitutions, but still nothing worked.
When they lost their will to fight, the outcome of the game was already doomed.
In the passing of Arsenal's kick, time passed quickly.
After 90 minutes + injury time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
"The game is over! The game is over! The suspense of the league championship remains!"
"Chelsea beat Norwich 1:0, West Brom 0:4 Arsenal, both teams won again."
"There is no change in the points. The suspense of the Premier League championship has come to the last round, which is generated by the direct confrontation between Arsenal and Chelsea!"
1: Arsenal, 29-6-2, 93 points.
2: Chelsea, 29-5-3, 92 points.
The suspense of the championship is still there!
