After playing outside until dark, Fang Fang drove back to his residence.
But when I got out of the car, I saw that there were no lights on in Mrs. Owe's house next door, and the window grid was dark.
There was no surprise to Fang Fang, because he knew that they had been dealing with the lawsuit recently, and it seemed that the result was about to come out, so they were often not at home.
Although he was a little curious about this, he decided to wait until the game was over before taking the initiative to ask about the specific situation.
In the evening, several young people played games in the living room for a while. When they were tired, the three of them sat on the sofa and watched movies.
Fang Fang took a shower upstairs. When he came downstairs, he saw the lights in the room were dim and thought no one was there.
I saw the light from the projection screen shining on the faces of the three of them, who were somewhat entranced.
Fang Fang was curious and took a peek at the title of the movie. It was called Time and Space Traveler. It looked like a movie from the country of Yu. He didn't expect the three of them to watch it so engrossed.
He didn't say anything, went upstairs and returned to the bedroom to see if anyone was looking for him.
After a short rest,
On May 7, the youth training trio had left London and returned to Wolves.
Equation has also entered the starting lineup, and Arsenal will face Slavia Prague at home in the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals.
For this game, coach Wenger was very cautious.
Because he had the huge advantage of four away goals, Wenger chose the safest lineup.
Fang Fang temporarily sat on the bench, watching his teammates play steadily in the first half.
If nothing else happens, Arsenal is likely to advance successfully.
The fans in the stands thought so too, and they began to leisurely play in waves of beautiful waves. Everyone raised their arms in turn, and looked down like waves.
In the second half, Slavia Prague tried their best and finally regained a point with a set piece, but soon Arsenal responded. Saka passed the ball from the wing and Lacazette high in the penalty area. Jump up and score with a header!
The score of this game is 1:1!
The total score is 5:2!
But Slavia Prague did not give up yet. They tried to attack again, but unfortunately time was running out.
Professor Wenger then used substitutions to adjust, allowing Equation to come on and regain the game status.
Then, a whistle blew, and the game was over!
Arsenal eliminated Slavia Prague with a total score of 5:2 and advanced to the Europa League final!
The Emirates Stadium has become a sea of joy, and the fans are full of joy. It is estimated that many old men will have another drink tonight.
Also at the same time, on another court.
Frankfurt defeated Valencia with a total score of 2:1 and advanced to the Europa League final.
The Europa League final is on May 30, at 3 a.m. BJ time, at the PGE Stadium in Gdansk.
Arsenal vs Eintracht Frankfurt!
No one expected that two teams from the same group stage would eventually reach the Europa League final!
This result is very topical and fatalistic.
Only under the rules of random drawing of the Europa League quarter-finals can such a rare final be seen.
Arsenal's players only learned the news after the game.
And before going back to the locker room,
Fang Fang was humbled by his teammates and came out for an interview because he only played 20 minutes of the game and his jersey was not dirty.
Then after the game, he should contribute to the team elsewhere.
The reporter asked him, "Hello Fang, congratulations on advancing to the Europa League final. How do you feel now?"
Fang Fang thought for a while and answered truthfully: "It feels good. Everyone should know that this is my first time playing in the Europa League. I really didn't expect that we could enter the final. I hope we can win the championship trophy."
"Yes, congratulations to you for successfully advancing to the Europa League final. This also successfully broke the historical record for Eastern players!"
The reporter asked again: "Now, the results of the game between Frankfurt and Valencia have come out. Your opponent in the final is Frankfurt. But in the Europa League group stage, Frankfurt has not defeated you once. What do you think of Arsenal? Is the advantage huge?"
Fang Fang did not expect to encounter Frankfurt again. He said: "Fortunately, Frankfurt is also a strong team. We will try our best to win the final."
After answering a few more innocuous questions, Fang Fang said goodbye to the reporters and media and returned to the locker room.
"It's such a coincidence that we can meet Frankfurt again." Lacazette said with emotion while sitting in his seat.
Captain Xhaka stood nearby, thought for a while, and said: "Frankfurt is indeed not weak. Any team that can reach the final is not a weak team. When the time comes, everyone must not underestimate this opponent!"
Xhaka looked at his teammates around him and reminded him.
Naturally, his teammates knew this and would not take it lightly. Saka began to think about the previous games.
Arsenal and Frankfurt collided again in the Europa League final. Although this was very dramatic, it was still not as popular as the Champions League semi-finals.
In the sports headlines of the past two days, almost all of them were Tottenham's reverse of the youth team Ajax, Liverpool's shocking comeback against Barcelona, and both Premier League teams advanced to the Champions League final.
News about the Europa League has been pushed aside. In terms of influence, the Europa League has always been worse than the Champions League, not only in terms of bonuses and dividends, but also in terms of competitiveness. Even the bonus points for the league's European competition will be less.
And this year,
There are two Premier League teams in the Champions League final, and there is also a Premier League team in the Europa League final.
At first glance, it looks like the Premier League is about to have its moment of glory.
This is indeed the case. In the original 18/19 season, four Premier League teams entered the finals of the Champions League and Europa League.
This makes Premier League fans completely addicted, watching the Champions League and watching the Europa League. Finally, the reputation of the Premier League's first league has been confirmed.
However, after the next year, reality gave them a hammer. After reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League, there was no Premier League team, and there was no gain in the Europa League.
As a result, the growth of the Premier League's European war points has stagnated.
After all, if you want to win the game, you must maintain a pragmatic heart. On the football field, strength and luck have always been indispensable.
On May 9th, the FA Cup semi-finals started on time at American Express Community Stadium.
Arsenal vs. Brighton.
It’s still a single elimination system!
In this game, Professor Wenger sent out the entire main lineup, hoping to end this game as soon as possible. The equation naturally entered the starting lineup.
Brighton is currently ranked 17th in the Premier League, fourth down, and only 2 points away from the relegation zone! They won 9, drew 7, lost 19, scored 32 goals and conceded 54 goals, with a goal difference of -22.
Therefore, it is no small miracle that Brighton can reach the semi-finals with this result.
Brighton is facing a lot of pressure to avoid relegation, and they don't dare to put all their money in the FA Cup. They can only choose the safest defensive counterattack!
Fang Fang has long been accustomed to opponents playing against them, so he is not impatient and patiently teaches the football to his teammates.
Throughout the first half, Arsenal got 6 shots, 3 corner kicks, and a ball possession rate of 79%. It was an overall advantage in terms of statistics!
However, towards the end of the first half, Brighton's Prupel suddenly misjudged Equation's passing line. After breaking it, he sent a through ball to the center circle!
Fortunately, Monreal's defensive position was excellent. He suddenly took a step forward and intercepted the through ball right behind the opponent's forward Knock Celtic!
Fang Fang was almost frightened into a cold sweat. He quickly retreated and leaned towards Monreal.
Monreal didn't have any expression of blame and passed the ball to him with confidence.
Fang Fang feels that today's responsibility is a bit heavy, and he must not make another mistake.
Although the opponent doesn't seem to be restricting him very brutally, there are always people around him to double-team him. When the ball is released, he must be fast and accurate.
Of course, if he really wants to win the game, he needs a little more "spirituality"!
Professor Wenger naturally saw this scene on the sidelines.
But back in the locker room,
Professor Wenger said nothing about this matter. Instead, he told Iwobi to protect the equation in the second half!
Once you hear the equation, you will understand it.
The professor was afraid that he would make a mistake again, so he specifically reminded Iwobi to intercept behind him.
However, people are not saints, and no one can make mistakes. There is no shame in equations. Everyone makes mistakes.
Even the top player will be criticized if he doesn't perform well.
He is thick-skinned. At worst, he will perform perfectly in the second half and save himself.
By the second half,
Equation went all out and forced several raids along the middle.
He passed the ball quickly, ran quickly, and passed the ball accurately, crushing Brighton's formation instantly!
If you fail, try again! Keep Brighton suppressed.
Young player Nketiah leaned on the defensive player on the left side of the penalty area this time.
Fang Fang was dribbling the ball, and when the opponent was rushing towards him, he moved sideways with a wave of football, relying on the opponent's body to remove the inertia of the impact.
The ball has not been taken away yet!
Fang Fang's foot movements were very coherent. He suddenly tapped the football with the outside instep and passed it to Nketiya not far away.
He used this to bypass the person in front of him and continue to attack the crowded middle!
Nketiah knew that his chance of turning around was very small, so he decisively chose to help Fang Fang hit the wall, and the football followed Fang Fang's running route.
However, Fang Fang noticed that there was someone following him on his right side, and the penalty area was crowded, leaving no room for shooting.
But suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a teammate on the right.
The equation suddenly struck me.
Quickly lift your foot, and while moving forward, miss the football!
He took away two more defensive players, making the space behind him instantly empty!
The whole place was in an uproar! !
This missed ball is very critical! !
The teammate on the right rib was none other than Saka. His eyes lit up, he strode over and met the ball with a pocket shot.
Bang!
However, there were too many people in the penalty area, and Saka's shot still hit the defensive player!
The football bounced out.
Fang Fang turned around and saw it, and wanted to put his head in his hands. This was a rare opportunity to score!
However, the next second,
Iwobi caught up from the outside and volleyed directly towards the ball without anyone watching!
The football flew out of an arc in an instant, passed over the crowd in the penalty area, and ran towards the far corner of the goal!
Then, there was a wave of fluctuations in the net!
The ball went in!
Arsenal 1:0! !
The whole stadium boiled instantly, and in the 60th minute, Arsenal finally broke the deadlock.
Professor Wenger raised his hands on the sidelines and smiled with relief. The equation did not disappoint him.
Wenger saw clearly before goal;
It was precisely because Brighton's defense was squashed that Iwobi had the opportunity to calmly take a shot from the outside! !
Iwobi was so happy that he ran to the sidelines, punched his fist and shouted.
After turning around and seeing his teammates coming over, Iwobi laughed and took the initiative to pat Fang Fang on the shoulder. He also saw how wonderful the passing and cutting cooperation that Fang Fang had just led!
Fang Fang smiled easily and was happy for his teammate's goal.
Anyway, the only thing is to win the game.
"No, why can't I kick your pass?!"
Saka was a little puzzled and muttered as he returned to the court.
"Don't worry, I'll pass it on to you next time!" Fang Fang said with a smile.
Lacazette next to him heard this and joked with a smile, "That's right, you might be fooled next time."
Saka nodded seriously, "Okay, I don't believe it."
After this goal was scored, Brighton felt that there was no hope. Their strategy for this game was to defend and counterattack. Losing the ball now means half the defeat.
After all, they can't limit Arsenal's offensive points. Saka, Lacazette, and Fang. Everyone has a strong ability to score goals.
Especially with Arsenal's overall grab, whether Brighton can attack or not is a question!
At the end of the game, Arsenal took 12 shots, while Brighton only took 3 shots.
In this disparity, Arsenal successfully advanced to the FA Cup final!
Moreover, they have won nine consecutive games in all competitions, and Arsenal are becoming more and more courageous with every victory.
After winning against Brighton, the outside world is generally optimistic that Arsenal can win the FA Cup and Europa League.
If they can win these two crowns and lock in Champions League qualification, Arsenal will undoubtedly be successful this season.
At the same time, another piece of good news came. In another semi-final of the FA Cup, Chelsea lost to Watford in a penalty shootout.
So, in the FA Cup final, the team that faced Arsenal was Watford.
Soon, some Premier League media revealed the historical confrontation records between the two teams.
In ten games, Arsenal won 7 and lost 3, and the data was completely dominant.
In addition, Arsenal's number of FA Cup championships ranks first in the Premier League, and they have a strong FA Cup heritage!
As a result, the outside world is more optimistic that Arsenal can win the FA Cup.
For this reason, the betting company opened a two-goal handicap for Arsenal in advance.
However, in this promising environment, in the 36th and 37th rounds of the Premier League, Arsenal only achieved one draw and one loss in the two away games.
The nine-game winning streak in all competitions was ended!
The reason why they did not win is because Professor Wenger rotated the lineup for these two games. After all, after the two games, the FA Cup final will be held on May 20.
As head coach, Wenger cannot afford for any of his main players to be injured and absent before this.
The Arsenal team's momentum was not dampened. After the winning streak was ended, they could just go into battle lightly.
After all, they have locked in the top four in advance, and the league ranking is no longer important! The third place in the Premier League can be given to Tottenham, but the championship trophy must stay with Arsenal!
