Chapter 174 The Premier League Championship Is Heating Up! Su Yu's Key Battle!
According to Wenger's original plan,
If Su Yu can lead Arsenal's rotation,
win or draw with Barcelona away from home,
He can consider making Su Yu play in the next league game against Manchester United.
In the last game, Arsenal did embarrass Barcelona, and there was even hope of winning for a while.
It's a pity that Koscielny's red card made Arsenal instantly passive.
If it weren't for Su Yu's last time, the gods descended and completed a hat trick.
Arsenal have already posted at this time.
Arsenal had 3 away goals in the first leg, but lost.
As long as Barcelona draw with Arsenal in the second round, they will hope to advance to the final.
So back at the Emirates Stadium they can't take it lightly.
After thinking about it, Wenger simply gave Su Yu a day off and asked him to stay in Barcelona to spend time with his family.
He also does not need to participate in the pre-match training against Manchester United.
After returning to London, I will directly prepare for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.
Su Yu wanted to work hard, but after careful consideration,
Also decided to believe in teammates, believe in Wenger.
By the end of the season, he had actually gritted his teeth and persisted.
After all, Su Yu is a body of flesh and blood. In the last match against Barcelona, his body was almost hollowed out.
He really needs a good rest.
"It should be no problem to play Manchester United away?"
Su Yu had an inexplicable feeling of foreboding.
Manchester United this season is a bit like writing an essay,
It can be regarded as tiger head, pork belly, and leopard tail.
At the beginning of the game, they won consecutive victories and made great strides, and the goal difference also overwhelmed Arsenal.
Around Christmas, Manchester United have been busy "hunting ghosts"
The record fluctuated more than 520, and was overtaken by Manchester City.
In the second half, Manchester United regained their form, even overcoming strong enemies, and always clinging to the championship echelon.
Manchester United are now just 7 points behind second-placed Manchester City.
If Arsenal can win this game,
They will be able to sit firmly in the top four and get a place in the Champions League.
For this crucial battle, Mourinho also sent all the main lineup.
Manchester United is still the usual 4-3-3 formation this season.
Lukaku is the center forward, with Lingard and Sanchez as assistants on the wings;
Herrera, Matic and Pogba form the iron triangle in the midfield;
On the back line, Lindelof and Smalling partnered as central defenders,
Ashley Young and Valencia left and right,
The goalkeeper is still the pinnacle of the defense, and the big daddy De Gea in the hearts of fans!
In terms of Arsenal, except for Su Yu, other positions are also the strongest configuration.
Goalkeeper Cech:
Defenders Mavropanos, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal;
Midfielder Xhaka, Ramsey, O'7er;
The strikers are old Manchester United players Mkhitaryan, Iwobi, and high center forward Giroud.
Judging from the lineup, Arsenal's strength on paper is not bad, and they can compete with Manchester United.
After the game started, both sides were evenly matched on the scene,
Manchester United did not have a clear upper hand.
Originally, the English media were still mocking Wenger for being too greedy.
Both the Champions League and the league want to catch, and both sides want to bet.
If you don't concentrate your forces to stabilize one end, it is easy to overturn the car.
Now it seems that (jej)
Wenger's plan is fine.
In the 36th minute of the first half, Mkhitaryan received a pass from Ramsey.
Suddenly cut inside and hit a long shot!
The football went straight to the far corner, and even De Gea couldn't save it!
Arsenal in the away game temporarily leads by 1 goal!
Seeing this, Su Yu in front of the TV couldn't help raising his arms and shouting!
If the team can win this game, it will be one step closer to the Premier League championship!
Otherwise, it is really possible to be overtaken by Manchester City and lose the championship.
As a veteran of Manchester United, Mkhitaryan did not celebrate after scoring.
But Arsenal weren't happy for long,
In the 43rd minute of the first half, Arsenal suffered a blow.
The tall Belgian center Lukaku is used to being pulled to the wing.
"I have a blast!"
Lukaku eats Monreal raw on the right, then dunks back and sends a cross with his left foot!
Sanchez, who followed in the middle, hit the center post with a header.
Arsenal players haven't breathed a sigh of relief yet,
Manchester United midfielder Pogba rushed to the horse and scored a supplementary shot to break the net!
Manchester United equalized 1:1!
Dream Theater Old Trafford Hill Hurricane!
Mourinho also raised his arms and shouted excitedly.
He is also very old now, his temples are graying,
If he was a few years younger, he might even kneel down to celebrate.
Seeing this, Su Yu's ominous premonition was magnified again.
He found that United were in better shape,
Arsenal's defensive problems have not improved.
I'm afraid this game, because the probability is gone.
The trend of the game in the second half really confirmed Su Yu's guess.
After the equalizer, Manchester United's morale was strong and they gradually gained an advantage on the scene.
Arsenal became more and more passive.
It seems that without Su Yu, they lack a backbone,
Lack of a brave general to lead his teammates out of the encirclement.
As long as Su Yu is on the scene, they will not worry about encountering a huge disadvantage.
If Su Yu is not there, the Arsenal players will feel a little uncertain.
Under the ebb and flow, Manchester United's offense wave after wave.
In the end, Arsenal's defense was overwhelmed.
71 minutes,
Martial's cross, Fellaini's header hits the post,
bounced off Rashford to score the goal,
However, the assistant referee signaled that Rashford was in an offside position and the goal was invalidated.
But only 2 minutes later,
Manchester United once again played a threatening offensive,
Ashley Young sent a fine cross from the left,
Fellaini, who came off the bench, leaped high and looked back at the moon,
Head hammer breaks Arsenal's gate!
Manchester United completed a 2:1 lead!
Seeing this, Wenger on the sidelines habitually looked at the bench,
Unfortunately, he did not find Su Yu.
"I knew it earlier... I would have taken Su Yu with me if I knew it earlier."
Wenger himself has some regrets.
If Su Yu is on the bench, maybe there is still a chance in this game.
As for now, because the probability is gone.
In the end, Manchester United beat Arsenal 2-1 with goals from Pogba and Fellaini.
After the game,
Arsenal players and fans have not left the field for a long time,
They all gathered at the bench, listening to the broadcast on the radio.
Su Yu also quickly switched channels to watch the broadcast of another game!
Manchester City vs Huddersfield Town!
The game went on to 89 minutes, and the two sides were still tied 0:0!!
Su Yu couldn't help but feel a little lucky!
In order to deal with Real Madrid and for the two rounds of the Champions League semi-finals, Guardiola
He came off the bench in the league.
Everyone thought that Manchester City's bench lineup could easily win Huddersfield.
But who would have thought that this team is deeply trapped around the relegation zone,
Their will to survive exploded, but it was very strong!
Manchester City besieged frantically, but they couldn't break through the opponent's gate!
For a time, all Arsenal fans temporarily became Huddersfield fans.
Time goes by second by second,
Manchester City has only one last chance left to attack,
Su Yu couldn't help feeling tense.
"David Silva, on the left, the full-back also came up.
"Knock back to the middle and continue to organize the attack.
"Yaya Toure! Suddenly shifted to the right!"
"Kyle Walker delivers a cross!! Foden -"
When the unguarded "Prince of Manchester City" Foden grabbed a point in front of the penalty area,
The hearts of Arsenal fans almost stopped beating!
In the next second, the football passed Foden's feet!
He missed the ball!!
beep
The referee blows the whistle for the end of the game!
Huddersfield drew 0-0 against mighty Manchester City!
The difference between the two sides was only 1 point before,
Now Manchester City will even out this 1 point!
Arsenal and Manchester City have the same score!
As Arsenal scored more goals, they are still at the top of the table!
Even Sky Sports commentator Lineker laughed.
"What a dramatic round of the league!"
"First of all, Arsenal lost to Manchester United, I thought Manchester City could take this opportunity to complete the overtake.
"But in order to cope with the Champions League, they underestimated their opponents in the league."
"Huddersfield's tenacious defense held back Manchester City's progress!"
"The two teams competing for the championship currently have the same score!"
"Thanks to Su Yu's ferocious firepower, Arsenal scored 4 more goals than Manchester City and still occupy the top spot by virtue of scoring advantage!"
"Perhaps the suspense of the championship will continue until the final round!"
Seeing this, Su Yu turned off the TV and breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Arsenal don't fall behind, the Premier League champions have a chance!
In the next Premier League, Su Yu will not let the team drop points again!
As for the Champions League...
"It's time to end Barcelona."
Su Yu has recharged his batteries these days, and his state has been adjusted to the peak!
Back to the Emirates Stadium,
He will give the Barcelona players a warm welcome!.
