Football: Shine in the AFC Champions League, sign Arsenal on the spot

On the second day, the entire Arsenal team took a bus to Liverpool, England.

All the Arsenal players listened to Arsene Wenger yesterday and had a common goal in mind.

That is to end seven years without a crown.

So this time to 'Toffee' Everton's Goodison Park Stadium, Wenger brought the full main squad.

When the two sides announced the pre-match squad, the outside world also learned that Everton had sent a full squad.

Everton are now 8th in the Premier League, 12 points behind fifth-placed Newcastle, and are clearly unable to compete for a European spot.

Therefore, Everton, as a team that has no desire in the league, naturally wants to seize the FA Cup, the only competition that can compete for the title.

Because of this, Arsenal and Everton played each other in the FA Cup quarter-final.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Everton's Australian star Cahill scored with a header from a corner kick to give Everton the lead.

However, Arsenal soon equalised and in the 43rd minute, Mikel Arteta crossed from the left.

Van Persie in the middle attempted a fish leap to the top, but was blocked by the defender and changed course.

But the rebound line coincided with Arsenal midfielder Ramsey, who caught the opposing goalkeeper off guard with a slash.

After Arsenal equalised, there was little time left in the first half, and finally went into the halftime with a 1-1 scoreline.

In the second half, Everton, sitting at home, launched a strong attacking

game, and in the 67th minute, Everton's Belgian high school striker Fellaini tried to shoot from distance outside the penalty area, which was extremely high-quality, but was unfortunately saved by Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny.

Neither side scored in the second half, and the game went into 30 minutes of extra time.

The managers of both sides have changed their talents and hope to beat their opponents in overtime.

And the result was that Arsenal was slightly better.

In the 23rd minute of extra time, Chen Fan and Van Persie switched positions to the center, Ramsey saw the opportunity to make a straight stop, and Chen Fan steadily won the ball.

Chen Fan swung past two Everton players left and right and burst into the Everton penalty area.

Then Chen Fan directly swung his leg slightly and blasted the football out in a very short time.

With such a close-range blast, the Everton goalkeeper couldn't react and the ball flew into the goal.

Arsenal 2:1 Everton.

In less than 10 minutes, Everton made a frantic comeback, but still could not break through the Arsenal goal.

Beep!

"The game is over! Arsenal beat Everton at Goodison Park to advance to the FA Cup semi-finals! "

Huang Jianxiang was very excited in the studio because he saw the possibility of Arsenal winning the title!

"Let's congratulate the Arsenal team! They will face Liverpool in the next FA Cup semi-finals! "

Andy Gray was timely enough to inform the fans of the semi-final match.

After the game, the Arsenal players boarded the bus back to London.

On the bus, the Arsenal players were excited.

Because they know they are one step closer to the championship!

......

After playing Everton, Arsenal played the 1/8 final of the Premier League Cup two days later, against Manchester City.

It was also the second meeting between the two teams in a week, and this time the venue was again at Emirates Stadium.

The result of the game was unchanged, with Arsenal beating Manchester City 2-0 and Chen Fan and Van Persie scoring one goal each.

Manchester City fielded a full substitute for this game, and their focus is clearly on the Premier League.

It is worth mentioning that this round of Premier League Manchester United also overturned, and Manchester City saw the hope of winning again.

It was in this context that Arsenal became the FA, the Premier League double semi-finalist.

......

After a heavy domestic competition, the Arsenal squad finally got a breather for a four-day gap.

Wenger gave the squad two days off to go back and rest.

Usually, Chen Fan likes to stay at home and rest on such rest days.

Playing in the backyard with next door Saka and Smith, and doing aerobics with Li Shuxin.

Soon two days passed, and Chen Fan came to the Kearney training base in high spirits to report.

When the Arsenal players arrived, Wenger began to deploy tactics specifically on the training ground.

Tactics to deal with Barcelona!

......

On April 4, 2012, the Emirates Stadium was packed.

Players from both sides are already standing in the tunnel waiting to enter.

"Chen, meet again."

Messi, wearing Barça's No. 10 shirt, turned to Chen Fan and said.

"yes, long time no see Leo."

The two looked at each other and smiled, then turned their heads and entered the game state.

Soon players from both sides lined up and walked out of the tunnel and were greeted by the enthusiasm of Arsenal fans.

"Once the season starts, we are unstoppable, walking around like Bergkamp..." Arsenal

fans at home sang the anthem while a huge tifo (large banner) was raised in the opposite stands.

A red-and-white gunman raised his gun and aimed it at a lone crown with cracks in the crown and a bullet falling on the side.

Players on both sides saw this scene and understood what it meant.

This is an encouragement for the Arsenal players, and for the visiting Barça players, there is more or less psychological pressure.

Players from both sides quickly got on the field.

Beep!

"The game begins! The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals between Arsenal and Barca was guided by Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu.

"That's right, hehe."

Far away in Huaxia's studio, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu spoke.

'Barca beat Arsenal 3-1 at home in the first leg and coming to Arsenal's home stadium today, hopefully Arsenal can do well.

Andy Gray commented live at the Emirates Stadium, and as an English commentator, he naturally favored the English team in the continental competition.

After the opening, Chen Fan was heavily defended by Barca.

This treatment is probably the impact of his only goal for Arsenal in the first leg.

Wenger's tactic for the Arsenal players was to give up the ball, aggressively press and give the ball to Chen Fan.

Although Arsenal are also good at passing control, they are small in this Barca, so the tactic developed by Wenger is also helpless.

However, this tactic may sound simple, but it requires a lot of physical strength from Arsenal's players to execute.

It may not have scored a goal for Barca, and the Arsenal players were extended by the opponent due to lack of physical strength.

Professor Wenger is gambling!

Experienced commentator Andy Gray also saw Wenger's high-risk tactics and sighed.

'With such tactics, hopefully Arsenal can steal the first goal in the first half.'

The truth is, someone did!
