Chapter 436 Shame
On April 19, Arsenal once again came to Old Trafford to face Manchester United.
Van Gaal's United played a 4-1-4-1 with a lot of effort in midfield.
On the other hand, Arsenal have rotated Campbell and Walcott on the basis of the main lineup.
When the game came to 86 minutes, the score between the two sides came to 1:1.
Manchester United were unable to break through Arsenal's defence, while Campbell repeatedly missed opportunities, preventing Arsenal from extending the score.
"After entering the middle of the season, Campbell's performance is getting worse and worse. He is constantly wearing away Wenger's patience. Even if Wenger will give newcomers a lot of opportunities, compared to the World Cup, Campbell's performance can be described as poor. ."
Throughout the game, Campbell kept wasting opportunities.
Just Lucky and Cazorla made him three single-handed balls, but he kicked them crookedly.
This kind of 'spitting cake' not only caused Wenger's dissatisfaction, but even the two core points of Lucky and Cazorla no longer continued to trust Campbell.
In a team, if the core point is questioned and is not given enough support, then the striker will basically lose the living space.
And Campbell's expression at this time is also extremely bitter.
He knew he was playing badly, but for some reason, it just felt awkward, and it wasn't right anywhere.
Recalling that at the beginning of the season, Campbell had a good run-in with Arsenal, but after entering the middle of the season, he could no longer adapt to the team's playing rhythm.
"Campbell is left behind!"
Wenger said calmly from the sidelines.
Compared to the outside world describing Wenger's anger into anger, he seemed extraordinarily calm at this time.
Although Wenger has not told the players, in his vision, the Champions League is still the main one.
Therefore, it is enough to win this game to a draw, save as much physical strength as possible, and fight for a Champions League spot.
Of course, this is also to prepare for the various possibilities of the Champions League.
"We still rely on Luis' goals." Patrice also nodded.
Soccer is an 11-person sport and is a complex team sport.
In this team, everyone has different jobs and responsibilities, and also forms a tacit understanding within the scope of responsibilities.
For example, Suarez played the role of an attacking finisher and a scorer in Arsenal.
Cazorla is a breakthrough point, frontcourt organization point, etc.
And Luckey is Arsenal's offensive and defensive transition hub, the core of the team and the spiritual leader.
This is the current central axis of Arsenal.
Suarez needs to rest, so he didn't play, Wenger hopes Campbell can play some role and support Arsenal's offensive end.
But this guy obviously got the meaning of 'offensive end' wrong.
A shot in the sky and a side ball made Wenger lose almost all his patience.
If there is no accident, Campbell is likely to be loaned out again next season.
Old Trafford is quiet
Manchester United fans have complicated expressions, they seem to have lost their former passion.
Even though they knew this was their home ground, they 'only' drew with Arsenal at home.
But they are more aware that the current Arsenal is not the same as the past, and they are no longer the Red Devils Manchester United under Ferguson.
So facing a formidable opponent, an opponent who might give them defeat, they were happy after a draw was reached.
And this happy emotion condemned their hearts again and again.
We are Manchester United!
We are the Manchester United who won the Triple Crown!
Why are there happy emotions in the face of a home draw?
After all, before the game, they felt that Manchester United had little chance of winning against Arsenal.
And this Arsenal is not complete.
They only got a draw with the main striker Suarez holding a free card.
And they are happy about it.
Shameful! —
90 minutes passed.
The referee's whistle signifies the end of the game.
In the 33rd round of the Premier League, Manchester United drew with Arsenal.
And Arsenal also fell from second to third place because of this draw.
In the 33rd round, Chelsea came to the top of the Premier League standings.
Next is Manchester City.
Arsenal is in third place.
Compared to other divisions where the title ownership is becoming clearer and clearer, the Premier League is still a mess.
Until the end, no one knows which team will win the championship.
Mourinho's Chelsea!
Pellegrini's Manchester City!
Wenger's Arsenal!
These three championship favorites are still chasing after a very narrow gap.
Of course, compared to the first two teams, Arsenal still has the pressure of the Champions League, so it seems more difficult.
As for the FA Cup, Arsenal were eliminated early.
As Wenger said before, Arsenal no longer need the FA Cup to win glory for them.
They want to start a new history!
In the dressing room, the Arsenal players gathered and were discussing something.
After Le Kai approached, he heard the discussion topics of his teammates.
"I feel that Bayern can beat Barcelona. Guardiola is too familiar with Barcelona. He taught the world last season how to beat Barcelona!"
"But Barcelona has Messi and Neymar, who are still very capable. In midfield, although Xavi's ability has begun to decline, Iniesta is still very good."
"But they lack scoring points. Judging from the current situation, Pedro cannot adapt to the rhythm of Messi and Neymar's playing."
"Porto is over, Juventus is the most likely to advance."
"Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid, Ronaldo beats Atletico Madrid!"
The teammates are talking about the semi-finals, and obviously they have brought themselves to the semi-finals.
After all, in the entire quarter-final, Arsenal got the biggest point difference in the first leg.
They scored a full four goals, and even if they went to the Parc des Princes, they had enough confidence.
Even with some conservative tactics, they were able to advance even after conceding three goals.
Therefore, it is the clearest one in this group.
"Captain, who do you think are the four teams that advanced?"
Cazorla turned around and asked.
Hearing the words, everyone turned their heads to look.
Lekai said directly; "Barcelona, Real Madrid, Arsenal and Juventus."
Di Maria nodded and said, "It's about the same as our prediction."
Sanchez said; "None of these three teams is easy to play!"
Chamberlain nodded and said, "It's better that we play Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona are fighting to the death, don't make the Champions League final and La Liga infighting as before."
Hearing the words, everyone nodded.
They have to admit that La Liga's performance in recent seasons has been terrifying.
Not to mention Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Atletico Madrid is a **** stick, especially when facing Premier League teams, it's a lot of fun.
It can be said that except for the two local big brothers, this little brother beats whoever catches him.
Simeone's Jagged Atletico is no joke.
Of course, there is basically no need to worry about this Champions League.
Atletico Madrid are likely to be eliminated in the quarter-finals, after all, their opponent is Real Madrid.
What if Atletico were still around?
That's even better!
This means that Real Madrid are eliminated.
Between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, how to choose?
They felt that no one would choose to play Real Madrid.
Especially for Arsenal, they were kicked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid last season.
Soon, Wenger walked in and greeted everyone to rinse and prepare to go back.
Lucky finished rinsing, and when he was packing up, Wilshere sat next to Lucky with his backpack slung over his shoulder.
Lucky turned his head and looked suspiciously.
Wilshere pursed his lips and said: "I just have a feeling that in the 2005-06 season, Arsenal reached the Champions League final, then they met Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, and then they encountered Juventus and Belgium in succession. Liarel, lost to Barcelona in the end."
"Arsenal stumbled a bit from the start of the group stage. Every game was fought, and every game was played very hard."
paused, Wilshere said; "But this season, the group stage wins, the quarter-finals play Basel, and the quarter-finals play Paris Saint-Germain, it can be said that they are basically signed!"
Wilshere sighed; "It's a little too unreal to go smoothly!"
