Chelsea players excitedly celebrated the draw at the Emirates Stadium.
It's like celebrating a victory.
Of course they have reason to celebrate, because they avoided the fate of being double beaten by Arsenal like Liverpool.
Arsenal have put too much pressure on teams like Chelsea this season.
Benitez walked quickly towards Wenger. After the two shook hands, he looked at the court and sighed slightly in his heart.
It was just a draw.
They didn't win this game. Is it worth celebrating like this?
Benitez looked at Yelo who walked out of the court quickly.
It's this guy who can make Chelsea's stars so happy after a draw.
However, it is indeed worth being happy for a while to draw the opponent.
Instead of stopping his players, Benitez turned around, walked into the tunnel, and returned to the dressing room.
After this game.
Manchester City and Manchester United caught up.
Among them, Manchester City is two points behind Arsenal and Manchester United is one point behind.
The difference is only one or two points, and this difference may change in one game at most.
Chelsea, on the other hand, was thrown a little too far.
They are five points behind Arsenal at the top of the table.
However, they are not completely left behind yet. In theory, Chelsea still has a chance to compete for the championship.
After twenty-five league rounds.
Arsenal has won 19 league games, drawn 5 and lost 1, scoring 62 points and ranking first in the standings.
Manchester United ranked second with 61 points, Manchester City ranked third with 60 points, and Chelsea ranked fourth with 57 points.
Ranked fifth is Tottenham, with 47 points, 10 points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
Chelsea's away draw with Arsenal made the overall suspense of the Premier League even greater.
Both Manchester United and Manchester City took the opportunity to close the gap with Arsenal, bringing the point difference to within three points.
A difference of one game.
After this game.
Of course reporters will interview the head coaches of the four championship teams.
Benitez looked very calm when facing reporters and did not show much joy.
"We got a draw at the Emirates Stadium, which is nothing to be happy about. For Chelsea, what is needed to compete for the league title is to win, no matter who the opponent is!", he said.
Wenger had some regrets about this game, but he did not want to put too much pressure on his players. At this stage of the league, many players' physical fitness has reached a critical point.
At this moment.
Many players need willpower to grit their teeth and support them.
If the pressure is too great at this time, there are only two possibilities.
One is to face pressure and rise to the challenge. The greater the pressure, the better your performance.
One is to be overwhelmed by pressure!
Wenger believes that Yello is the first type of player.
But he couldn't guarantee that other Arsenal players would be like this.
Therefore, he said: "A draw is regrettable, but the season is long and we cannot guarantee that we can keep winning. We are still at the top of the list, and Arsenal don't need to worry about anything."
Manchester United's head coach Ferguson's talk in the media seemed very aggressive: "I know they are under tremendous pressure, which is good because we will continue to put pressure on them until they collapse!"
This is Ferguson's style. In terms of war of words, in the entire Premier League era, perhaps only Mourinho, who coached Chelsea back then, can beat him.
Using the media to create pressure on opponents, Ferguson can be said to have it at his fingertips.
Mancini, the head coach of Manchester City, is under a lot of pressure because it was reported that he had a fierce conflict with his favorite Balotelli during midweek training, and the conflict may even have escalated from the verbal level to the physical level.
Although the media only got a few words, they were unable to enter the Manchester City base to capture the scene at that time.
But judging from the fact that Balotelli did not come to the training base the next day, the conflict should have been fierce.
But Mancini's troubles stop there.
He is really optimistic about Balotelli, and the media even once called Balotelli Mancini's biological son.
But who would have thought that Balotelli would decline so quickly.
In front of the media, both Manchester City players and Mancini remained silent about this.
However, Mancini is willing to talk about the competition in the championship zone for a while.
In front of Manchester City's training base, Mancini said with a serious face: "There is still a lot of suspense in the championship. All we have to do is play well one game at a time."
Under fierce competition, the performance of each team in each round must be examined by the media under a magnifying glass.
On February 7, in the twenty-fifth round of the league, Arsenal faced Stoke City at home.
In this game, Arsenal defeated their opponent 1-0. Yello scored a goal, raising his number of league goals to 31!
"Yelo is heading towards the Premier League single-season scoring record!"
After the game, some media finally raised this issue that many people were aware of at the beginning of the season: With Yello's scoring efficiency, he is very likely to soon set the Premier League single-season scoring record. It's broken!
Prior to this, the Premier League single-season scoring record holders were Alan Shearer (1994-1995 season) and Andy Cole (1993-1994 season) who held the Premier League single-season scoring record of 34 goals. It is worth mentioning that in the era of Shearer and Cole, there were 42 games in a single Premier League season, and now this number is 38.
The record holder for the most goals in a single season in the same 38 games is Cristiano Ronaldo.
In the 2007-08 season, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was only 22 years old at the time, scored 31 goals in 34 Premier League games and became the first in this list at the time.
Now Yello has tied Cristiano Ronaldo's record, but because he is still three goals away from the records of Shearer and Cole.
So now the media's reaction is a bit subtle.
Reporters and editors in the English media feel an indescribable discomfort when they think that the Premier League record will be broken by Yello, and may even set a new record that will make everyone stunned.
This is actually a kind of "racial superiority" mentality at work.
If Ye Luo is a believer in Western culture, his skin color will be white or black.
Now the English media has already started blowing the news.
If Yello happens to be an Englishman.
Then the English media cannot be described as boasting.
It was just a squirt.
But by accident.
Ye Luo is a native of the Dragon Kingdom.
His skin color, his cultural background, and the civilization behind him is comparable to Western civilization.
This made the English reporters very unhappy, so until now, Yello has tied Cristiano Ronaldo's record. The English media and even the European media have received a mediocre response.
Of course they have their reasons.
Because this is not the highest record in the Premier League.
But the Dragon Kingdom media has no such scruples.
They desperately promoted the fact that Yello tied Cristiano Ronaldo's scoring record in the Premier League.
"Southland Sports News" was very optimistic in its report: "Yeluo used 25 games to tie Cristiano Ronaldo's single-season scoring record in the Premier League. He scored 31 Premier League goals, one step ahead of Alan Ciro. Le and Andy Cole's record of 34 Premier League goals only have three goals left. Three goals are definitely not a difficulty for Yello, and he may even tie this record in one game! Moreover, three goals are definitely not a difficulty for Yello. He still has thirteen games to complete this matter, so let us look forward to it, but after 38 Premier League games, how far will Yelo improve the Premier League scoring record!"
"He has already created his own history in La Liga, and now he is about to write his own monument in the Premier League!"
The media and fans in Dragon Kingdom are very concerned about when Ye Luo will break the record.
But in England.
People are more concerned about the twentieth round of the league.
February 11th, the twenty-sixth round of the league.
Arsenal will face Manchester City at home.
At the same time, Manchester United faced Chelsea at home.
The "civil war" between the four teams competing for the championship started at the same time.
This is a grand event this time around.
If Manchester United wins Chelsea at home and Arsenal loses to Manchester City at home.
Arsenal's lead would be gone.
They will slip to third place.
Because there is the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals in midweek.
Therefore, the two focus games were scheduled to start at the same time - if possible, the Premier League officials would not want to.
Because the two focus battles start at the same time, a lot of traffic will definitely be diverted.
"Manchester United are ahead?!"
As soon as Wenger sat down on his coaching bench, he heard the exclamation from his assistant Blake.
he asked hurriedly.
"Yes, Manchester United is ahead! Rooney scored a long shot in the first minute of the game!" Black's face looked a little ugly.
"This is really unlucky." Wenger shook his head and said, not sure whether he was talking about Chelsea or his own Arsenal.
However, Wenger is not surprised that Manchester United leads Chelsea at home. He and Ferguson have been competing for almost two decades.
He dare not say it in the Champions League.
But in the league, the stability of Ferguson's team in key battles is absolutely terrifying.
Especially on their home court.
"Chelsea is too useless, their lineup is so strong." Black said in frustration.
"Forget it, don't worry about the situation over there, let's play our own game first."
Wenger looked towards the court and said.
This game is also a focus battle.
The main forces of both sides were eliminated.
Even at their home court, Manchester City is by no means an easy opponent to deal with.
Especially at the end of the season, Arsenal's players are definitely more tired than Manchester City, whose lineup is thicker than them.
This is the hidden danger facing Arsenal.
