Chapter 586 Premier League Status
After the third round of the FA Cup, Arsenal will prepare for the league, and they also need to prepare for the knockout stage of the Champions League.
This year's Champions League knockout round has added a round of rules.
Of course, this round of rules does not apply to the Champions League itself, but to determine that the Champions League champions can directly get the Champions League group stage.
This means that this year’s Europa League champions can directly participate in next year’s Champions League group stage, even if they fail to get a Champions League seat in the league, they can still participate in the Champions League.
In the case of a Champions League place in the league, the National League place will be assigned the next place.
In theory, the Premier League has four Champions League places, and if one team wins the Europa League and qualifies for the Champions League, the Premier League can get up to five Champions League places.
This regulation has opened more channels for qualification for many teams committed to the Champions League.
For example, Manchester United this year!
Although they performed well in the league, their performance in the Champions League group stage was sloppy.
Eliminated early in the group stage, and will focus on the Europa League in the second half of the season.
And the newly changed regulations also give Manchester United a chance to eat a wave of dividends. If they win the Europa League, they can directly play the Champions League next season without occupying a league place.
But the Europa League is not so easy to play.
Besides, Serbia, the king of the Europa League, has also been eliminated to play in the Europa League.
Manchester United is a mess today!
After only half a season, internal conflicts began to erupt one after another.
The conflict between Mourinho and Pogba is even more acute, and has even reached the level of choosing one of the two.
Or choose Mourinho to sell Pogba.
Or choose Pogba to send Mourinho away.
Manchester United's executives are also one of the top two.
The outside world is speculating that Manchester United is likely to encounter a waterloo in the second half of the season, and the poor internal environment will make their performance plummet.
In addition to Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool are making great progress.
All three clubs have a new look at the Premier League champions.
Among them, Klopp even said that ‘Liverpool is ready to carry the honor! ’, which is nothing more than announcing to the outside world that their goal is to win the championship.
And with nine consecutive victories, Liverpool's current state is a horror.
A solid back line!
Salah and Chen Man in the frontcourt showed shocking strength.
These two became benchmarks in Liverpool's offense.
Especially Liverpool's mad dog tactics, as long as Liverpool play enough morale, no one can stop them.
Many people say that Liverpool in that state can beat any team.
The Premier League battle is chaotic, Arsenal not only have to prepare for the Premier League, but also committed to the Champions League.
Since Arsenal appeared first in the group, with good luck in signings, their opponents in the next round are not strong.
From Ghent, Belgium, they have participated in three Champions League matches in total, and this time is the first time they have reached the Champions League knockout stage.
For this type of team, this is a moment of history.
And delighted Ghent fans drew defending champions Arsenal when they drew.
This is undoubtedly a heart-wrenching result.
Although many previous reports about Arsenal mentioned their unstable state, with the return of Wenger, Arsenal now gives people a strong sense of pressure.
What's more, Arsenal are the defending champions of the Champions League.
The name alone is enough to make them feel stressed.
Gent's head coach Van Heisebrooke said that this is the toughest challenge in Gent's history, and they will do everything they can to beat Arsenal!
At the same time, they will also come up with something different in this game.
Van Heisebrooke's speech successfully attracted some media attention.
They are obviously very interested in the 'new things' described by the other side. After all, under the current situation of the same football, the media still want to see new things.
Whether new things are useful or not, they are not interested.
Mainly whether there is topicality!
As for winning Arsenal?
The media also don’t think it can come true.
If it is Arsenal at the beginning of the season, it is still possible, but now Arsenal has gradually adjusted.
However, Arsenal are currently focusing more on the league.
The Champions League knockout round will not be their turn until mid-February, so they need to prepare well for the next league battle.
"We are Arsenal!"
"The omnipotent 4 leads us forward!"
"Invincible Arsenal! Go! Go! Go!"
"Whether it's Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City or Tottenham, they will all fail!"
"No one can stop Arsenal!"
At the entrance of the University of London Medical School, a group of young men and women wearing Arsenal jerseys are singing loudly.
They sang their praises to the teams they supported.
The confidence and pride can be seen on their faces.
A high-pitched singing voice was passed from the door to all directions.
caught the attention of a young man ahead.
The young man is Li Chenyu, an international student from China. He is an international student at the University of London Medical School.
Thick black-rimmed glasses, plaid shirt and overalls, carrying a bag cross-body, looking curiously at the school gate.
For Li Chenyu, who went abroad for the first time, everything he encountered was novel.
Li Chenyu is not from a wealthy family. Due to his hard work and good grades, he was granted an exchange student spot and went abroad for further studies by the state.
And everything abroad is curious to this young man.
For example, these young men and women are singing loudly in front of them.
However, Li Chenyu didn't come forward to chat. He was introverted and shy and decided to enter the campus honestly.
As soon as he walked into the campus, he saw a black-haired young man walking towards him.
"Li Chenyu?"
the black-haired youth asked.
Li Chenyu nodded quickly and shouted, "Hello, senior."
"Hello! Hello! Just call me Liu Mingyu, let's go, let me introduce you to the academy."
"OK!"
The two circled around the academy.
During the period of , we continued to chat, and the relationship was constantly pulled in.
Liu Mingyu is a very good communicator. Li Chenyu admires this kind of communication ability, at least he can't be so lively and cheerful.
The two walked around the academy and returned to the gate of the academy.
"It's basically like this. You can ask me anything you don't understand during the bleeding." Liu Mingyu said with a smile.
Li Chenyu also nodded quickly; "Thank you, senior!"
At this time, singing was heard again not far away.
"We Arsenal are invincible~~~"
The two turned their heads at the same time.
Li Chenyu looked over curiously.
is still the same wave of people, but they are no longer content to sing at the school gate, but swagger along the street.
Li Chenyu was very puzzled; "Are they from a certain society?"
"Society?"
Liu Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled; "You can say the same, but it's not a school club."
"Isn't it a school club?" Li Chenyu asked curiously.
Liu Mingyu smiled and said; "Look at it"
After finishing speaking, Liu Mingyu raised his fists and said loudly: "No. 4 from Arsenal! His name is"
Li Chenyu saw that the already frenzied crowd became more restless.
They raised their hands and shouted at Liu Mingyu; "Our eternal captain! Kai from the Chinese team!"
After shouting , the leader shouted towards Liu Mingyu; "Hey! Do friends from China want to join us?"
Liu Mingyu responded loudly; "Not today, you will see me on Saturday night!"
"Hahahaha! Got it! We'll gather at the Emirates Stadium! Go forward! Arsenal!"
Liu Mingyu throws a fist; "Go forward! Arsenal!"
After the two sides completed the exchange, the group continued to sing and left.
And Li Chenyu said blankly; "Are foreigners so friendly?"
"Huh?" Liu Mingyu asked, "What do you mean?"
"My mentor told me that they... were very unfriendly."
Liu Mingyu smiled and nodded; "The situation was indeed a bit bad before, but it has improved a lot in recent years, especially in the North London area."
"Why?" Li Chenyu asked.
Liu Mingyu blinked and said with a smile, "You'll know on Saturday!"
Li Chenyu still didn't know why, but nodded anyway.
