In fact, Arsenal winning the League Cup is not big news even in England.
Because the opponent is too weak.
So weak that after Arsenal entered the final, almost no one would have imagined that Brentford could defeat Arsenal and win the League Cup.
Similar things have happened in history.
But there are only a handful of them.
In the FA Cup final that year, Wimbledon, a team from the lower leagues, defeated Liverpool and won the FA Cup.
But there is only one mad gang in history.
So people don't think Brent Fuld can perform miracles.
This proved to be the case.
But Arsenal fans are certainly delighted.
For head coach Arsene Wenger, the end of the League Cup schedule gave him a huge sigh of relief.
Because no matter what, playing on one more front will be a severe test for Arsenal.
After finishing the League Cup schedule.
Arsenal's energy is entirely focused on the two fronts of the league and the Champions League.
In the midweek after the League Cup ends, in the 28th round of the league, the team will face Tottenham Hotspur at home. This is a make-up game that should have been scheduled for the weekend.
At the weekend, Arsenal were playing in the League Cup final.
Manchester United has already played the 28th round of the league ahead of schedule.
They beat Stoke City away from home.
One more game and one point ahead of Arsenal.
This undoubtedly gives Arsenal great power.
For Tottenham, on the one hand, they hope that the League Cup final can have a slight impact on Arsenal's player status. On the other hand, they hope to take advantage of the huge pressure created by Manchester United on Arsenal and take away the players at the Emirates Stadium. Fraction.
One point, or three points.
So at the Emirates Stadium, Tottenham took the initiative to set the pace.
Fight fast with fast speed.
Use the speed of Bell, Lennon and others to attack Arsenal's defense.
The two sides started a battle in this game!
It was also a big score in the end.
Arsenal narrowly defeated their opponents 3-2 at home.
Yello scored a goal in this game, raising his number of goals to 37 goals!
He went on to set Premier League records.
The League Cup schedule still has a great impact on Arsenal.
Finished Tottenham in midweek.
Weekend league games are coming up again.
This is the twenty-ninth round of the competition.
Arsenal are back in action on Saturday, away to Swansea City.
This made Wenger very unhappy before the game, because Arsenal had applied to postpone the game to Monday to extend the team's rest time.
However, generally speaking, the Football Association will not agree to such a request for schedule adjustment.
Because the reason is also very simple.
Swansea would not agree.
Arsenal has a busy schedule, what does it have to do with Swansea?
Postponing the game so you can rest and beat me?
How could you agree?
So Arsenal can only play Tottenham on Wednesday and Swansea on Saturday morning.
This game is also a big score.
But it's a pity.
Arsenal drew their opponents.
The final score was two to two.
Arsenal's draw with their opponents certainly gave Manchester United and even Manchester City a huge boost.
One day later.
Manchester United's away game against Newcastle begins.
Newcastle needs points to avoid relegation, while Manchester United needs points to compete for the championship.
This game can be described as a real Mars hitting the Earth.
There was no possibility of any relaxation on either side.
As for Manchester United, if they defeat Newcastle, they can tie Arsenal in the total score! !
Before there is a head-to-head dialogue between the two sides, if Manchester United can tie up on points, they may even overtake Arsenal.
This will undoubtedly create a huge gap for Auntie.
The situation can be said to be quite severe for Arsenal.
Wenger is also paying attention to this focus battle.
In front of the TV, Wenger wore glasses and looked at his old rival in the camera.
This made Wenger quite emotional.
This was how Arsenal competed with Manchester United in the Premier League back then.
As a result, Arsenal themselves fell behind.
Now.
Arsenal is about to return as king.
And Manchester United may have reached the moment of the afterglow of the empire.
The old Scottish man in front of him couldn't hold on much longer.
Once he retires.
The red empire he created himself will inevitably fall into chaos for a period of time.
Wenger is not sure how long this period will last.
Maybe five years, maybe ten, twenty years.
Who knows.
There is no eternal empire in this world.
Manchester United's dominance in the Premier League is time for a change of dynasty!
The game started not long ago.
Newcastle scored first.
"Beautiful! Newcastle opened the scoring from a corner kick!! At their home ground, they took the lead!"
Many Arsenal fans must be clenching their fists and cheering at this moment, cheering for Newcastle.
But Wenger didn't.
The game has only started ten minutes.
There is still plenty of time ahead.
Cheer and celebrate now.
premature.
Sure enough, the so-called person who knows you best is your opponent.
Wenger was well aware of the resilience of Ferguson's side.
In the 36th minute of the game, Manchester United equalized the score.
Goal scored.
It was Van Persie who made Wenger somewhat upset.
A very beautiful volley not only equalized the score, but also greatly boosted the morale of Manchester United.
"Oh oh oh oh! Powerful Manchester United! Tenacious Manchester United! They equalized the score in the away game!! Now they still bite Arsenal! The point gap between them and Arsenal is still two points!"
But after Robin van Persie scored the equalizer goal for Manchester United.
Ferguson raised his arms and rushed down from the coaching bench.
The gum in the mouth is chewable.
The arms kept waving, and the red and old face was filled with excitement.
Actually.
This game is not easy for Manchester United.
They lost in two rounds of fierce battle with Real Madrid in the Champions League round of 16.
Back in the league, the Newcastle they have to face is not a soft persimmon.
Newcastle's team's performance at home is still very good. They mainly rely on points at home to avoid relegation.
Under the pressure of relegation.
Newcastle at home can often burst out with stronger power.
Manchester United is fighting on two fronts.
Are they physically better than Arsenal?
Not really!
Because the core players of this team are actually nearly thirty years old.
Their average age is several years older than Arsenal.
Therefore, the competition at this time is willpower, and the competition is who can grit his teeth and persevere until the end.
Whoever shows cowardice first will be finished first.
Manchester United equalized the score and Arsenal fans were a little discouraged.
As a result, in the second half, a scene happened that made them even more discouraged.
In the second half, Newcastle relied on tenacious defense to defend until the 90th minute of the game.
result
In the 93rd minute of the game.
Rooney scored in the penalty area.
Manchester United completed the final, they defeated Newcastle 2-1 in a thrilling away game.
After the whole game is over.
The commentators were quite excited and excited.
Because Manchester United tied Arsenal in total points!
"The game is over! The game is over! Under the premise that Arsenal was tied by Swansea, Manchester United tenaciously defeated Newcastle in the away game. They tied Arsenal in total points! Now both sides have scored 72 points. Points! The points between the two sides are tied!! And Manchester City, which is closely followed, ranks third in the standings with 67 points, only five points behind the previous two teams! All three teams have the possibility of winning the championship. ! The competition for the Premier League championship is unprecedentedly exciting! Such fierce competition is probably a great thing for the fans!"
What a shit.
Wenger complained in his heart.
He turned off the TV a little depressed.
before he flipped the switch on the remote control.
The commentator on the TV seemed to know what Wenger was thinking: "Of course, it's not a good thing for Wenger."
at the post-match press conference.
Ferguson was very excited.
His face was flushed, and the smile on his lips couldn't be hidden at all.
"Evened the point difference? Haha, I actually didn't pay attention to this at all. I don't care much about this. Because we are Manchester United. As long as we do our best, no one can steal the Premier League championship from us. !”
This was said very domineeringly.
But the reporters present were not surprised.
This is Manchester United.
This is Ferguson.
This is their confidence as overlords.
on the contrary.
Because of Arsenal's decline over the years, Arsenal appears to be somewhat weak - even though they were the leading team before, even now, they still top the list with a goal difference advantage.
Ferguson spoke very forcefully, and his purpose was to put pressure on Arsenal.
Make them more and more stressed!
Ferguson believed it.
Based on the average age of Arsenal players.
It is difficult for these young boys to have any experience to deal with the current situation.
Manchester United is like a tiger now.
Right behind Arsenal's butt.
Bared fangs.
roared.
The power of the tiger shook the heaven and the earth.
It's hard for Arsenal not to notice.
Just thinking about it, with the tiger Manchester United chasing after them, Arsenal's players knew that they had to run forward all the time.
Rotation? rest?
No one has any possibility at all.
Because if you stop, you die!
This pressure is too much.
If Arsenal's players are experienced veterans.
They may be able to handle this pressure on their own.
But by accident.
The average age at Arsenal is only twenty-two, not twenty-three.
Such a young team.
Biggest weakness.
Just psychologically!
Ferguson firmly believed this.
He's instilling that in his players, too.
He was certain that "if we push hard enough, they will collapse."
In fact, Ferguson may not be so sure in his heart.
But he must do it.
because
The pressure is mutual.
Arsenal are under pressure.
Why is there not much pressure on Manchester United?
He wants to give the players of Manchester United, who are lagging behind in points, a belief.
Let them grit their teeth and strive not to fall behind Arsenal.
at the same time
Ferguson was waiting.
That's when Arsenal collapsed! !
