After losing the game, Saka took the initiative to stand up and accept interviews with the media.
When asked why he lost the game today, Saka said with a heavy heart: "Our season is not over yet. Although the FA Cup game is over, we will prepare well for the next game. Being eliminated is a big deal." It’s a very painful thing, and we don’t want to experience it a second time!”
Saka's speech was quite satisfactory, and after he finished speaking, he took the initiative to leave.
During Wenger's post-match press conference and interview, he was worried that the fans would be dissatisfied with the defeat, so he took the initiative to admit today's problems and promised to be fully prepared in subsequent trainings.
However, in addition to the famous players of each team who were watching the excitement, there were also other fans who were making noises.
But none of the Gunners fans blamed today's defeat very much.
When the team's bus left the away game, some die-hard fans who had not dispersed chose to stand with the team and shouted loudly to the players in the bus.
"Don't pay attention to the game, it has no impact at all!"
"We are still the kings of the FA Cup, just come back next year!!"
"Remember to defeat Juventus, our goal is the Champions League!——"
"Remember not to listen to those random noises!!"
The bus was driving slowly, and the players in the car heard the shouting outside.
No matter how resolute the tough guy is, he will be touched by this scene now.
Every loyal fan is the rarest gift to the club. A die-hard loyalist will never leave because of a momentary setback.
The team and fans grow and succeed together. This is the greatest charm of football. Everyone can find what they want here, whether it is passion, enthusiasm, bondage or cruelty.
The most important thing is to be consistent and stick to your heart.
Fang Fang looked out the car window at the ordinary but great fans and couldn't help but wave to them, thanking them for their continued support.
.
But people from other teams are just worried that the world will not be in chaos.
That night, Tottenham star Clive Allen was asked about Kane on the talkSport program. He believed that the Tottenham star is the best No. 9 in the world.
Then the host asked what he thought about Arsenal being eliminated from the FA Cup.
Clive Allen said: "Arsenal's tactics in the cup competition obviously had problems. Although they are third in the Premier League, I also want to criticize their problems now."
"They wasted too many opportunities. I didn't see that they had the determination to win the game. If Wenger can't solve this problem later, I won't be optimistic about their match against Juventus in the Champions League."
"The last time Arsenal advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League was 10 years ago. I hope they will not regretfully stop in the quarterfinals again this time."
Other Premier League stars also made similar predictions for Arsenal's subsequent Champions League games.
They used this FA Cup match as an example to analyze Juventus, which has a stronger defensive ability, and concluded that Arsenal's offense may have difficulty breaking down the top defensive team in Serie A.
After all, Arsenal failed to win against a British Championship team with half of their main lineup. They switched to the more competitive Champions League and their opponent was still Serie A hegemon Juventus. So from an objective point of view, it is not a big deal to watch the excitement. There is a certain reason for the Premier League stars to be negative about Arsenal
Of course, when former Arsenal players heard these remarks, they inevitably started a war of words with these celebrities.
Everything that happened was expected by the Arsenal players.
The trend outside has always been: belittle someone if you lose, and praise someone if you win. Everyone had already been mentally prepared, so they were not affected by the outside world.
On April 2, Arsenal will play the Champions League quarter-finals against Juventus in four days.
But on this day, they still have to play the 33rd round of the Premier League.
vs Watford at home.
Fortunately, they didn't go to an away game, and the next Champions League game was also at home against Juventus, so they didn't have to travel.
In this game, Wenger fielded the entire main lineup. If they fail to win this game, the pressure from public opinion they face may become more serious.
Although he observed that his players were not affected by the outside world, if they failed to win the recent game, it would still affect their momentum and recruitment.
In order to eliminate this hidden danger, Wenger asked everyone before the game to win against Watford.
Fortunately, they had good luck today. Although the score was 0:0 in the first half, shortly after the start of the second half, Fang Fang assisted Martinelli with a goal with a set kick.
Immediately afterwards, Arsenal launched another quick counterattack, and Haaland took advantage of the opponent's defender and scored with a push shot.
The score became 2:0, and Wenger felt that his heart that had been hanging around had fallen. Then he replaced the main players one after another, allowing everyone to have a good rest and prepare for the next Champions League game against Juventus.
The final result was that they won 3:1 at home against Watford.
After winning this game, the doubts from the outside world were reduced.
April 4th.
Juventus came to North London two days in advance to prepare for the Champions League game on April 6.
The head coach of Juventus is the good old Sarri.
His mental state is very good, and it seems that he is obviously more comfortable now than at Chelsea.
His current performance in leading the team is good. He is 6 points ahead of the second-placed Inter Milan in Serie A. He is expected to help Juventus win the ninth consecutive Serie A championship.
Some reporters and media photographed Ronaldo in the team, and he was in good spirits. Because he is the absolute core of the team, all his teammates will pass the ball for him. He is currently ranked second next to the top scorer in Serie A, and he still hopes to win the Golden Boot Award, so he is naturally in a good mood.
There is also a familiar face in the team, that is former Arsenal player Ramsey. He joined Juventus without signing this season. Maybe he did not expect that he would meet his old club Arsenal in the Champions League.
When he announced his move to Juventus on his social account, he received blessings from the entire Arsenal team. Of course, many Arsenal fans also left messages of support.
So now, after he came to North London with Juventus, many Arsenal fans left a series of dumbfounding emoticons on his social media.
This is the trick of fate. People who used to be in the same club now become rivals when they meet again.
The day before the game, Equation drove to the club for training as usual.
The whole team feels a sense of urgency for tomorrow's game, thinking about what they are not ready for. After the day's training, none of them left immediately, and they still felt like they wanted to practice more.
Fang Fang didn't leave any room for additional training. The intensity of recent competitions was very high. If he continued training, his physical condition might get very bad.
But as soon as he drove out of the training base, he met many reporters outside for interviews.
Seeing that there was no road ahead, Fang Fang had no choice but to lower the car window and kindly asked the reporters to give way.
However, a domestic reporter came over and said, "Fang Fang, do you want you to accept an interview with me, and then I will find a way to drive these people away."
Fang Fang thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's okay. If you have any questions, just ask."
There is no way to get home from get off work unless these reporters are sent away.
The reporter asked: "Isn't the match between Arsenal and Juventus about to start? This should be your first match against Ronaldo. What do you have to say?"
Fang Fang thought for a while and said: "There is nothing special to say. Our goal is to win this game. Ronaldo may pose a threat to us, but I believe we will advance smoothly."
Domestic reporters nodded. He is indeed the number one football player in the country. He is indeed very confident.
Fangfang showed full respect for Ronaldo's offensive ability, and at the same time showed their determination.
"Now, Juventus has Ramsey in the team, and he is your former teammate. What do you want to say about this?" the reporter asked again.
Equation said: "Competition comes first, friendship comes second. After the game is over, we will definitely meet with Ramsey, whether we win or lose."
After saying that, Equation waved goodbye and raised the car window. Domestic reporters also kept their promise and stood in front of the car to help clear the way.
Reporters from other media outlets feel itchy. They just want to say that these Eastern reporters are too shameless.
Domestically, many fans are paying close attention to this game, not only because it is Arsenal's return to the Champions League quarter-finals after 10 years, but also because finally a domestic player has reached the Champions League quarter-finals as the main force, and at the same time, he is competing with one of the two greatest talents. Ronaldo is competing on the same field.
This game can be said to be full of highlights. Many people are looking forward to it. It feels like the days are passing by and they can’t wait to fly to the day of the game.
Everyone is intensely discussing on the Internet whether Ronaldo can create a miracle in the Champions League, whether he will win next year's Ballon d'Or, and whether the equation will threaten the competition for the Ballon d'Or.
In this discussion, everyone finally waited for the arrival of the game day.
.
April 6th.
At the pre-match press conference, Sarri and Ronaldo came to the scene.
When accepting questions from the media, Ronaldo was asked about the equation. He answered very officially, "I know this player, he is very good and he is the core player of Arsenal. But the players in our club are all the best in Serie A. Yes, we will definitely be able to guard against him, and I believe Juventus can win the game today!"
As for Arsenal, only Wenger came to the press conference. He simply answered a few questions from reporters and then returned to the dressing room.
The lineup sent by Juventus today is 433.
Goalkeeper: Buffon.
Backcourt: Cuadrado, De Ligt, Bonucci, Alex Sandro.
Midfielder: Matuidi, Pjanic, Bentancur
Frontcourt: Douglas, Higuain, Ronaldo.
Arsenal's lineup remains unchanged, also 433. Wenger continued to send Equation up front and play as a shadow forward.
The domestic commentary for this game is still directed by Zhan Jun and Zhang.
Seeing that the court was still warming up, Zhan Jun explained the highlights of today's game, "Everyone may be paying attention to the competition between Cristiano Ronaldo and Equation today. But today's highlights are actually more than that. Juventus's formation There is also former Arsenal player Ramsey. I wonder how he feels about returning to the Emirates Stadium and whether he will eliminate his old club."
"Furthermore, Juventus forward Higuain was eliminated by Arsenal in last year's Europa League. He just ended his loan this year and returned to Juventus from AC Milan. I don't know if he can play in the away game today. revenge."
Director Zhang chuckled, "There are indeed many things to watch today, but I don't know if the game will be boring. Although Sarri likes to play pass-and-control football, the defensive concept of Serie A has been deeply rooted in the bones of Juventus."
Two commentators spoke in the studio.
And on the field,
Juventus is still warming up before the game.
"Volleyball boy" De Ligt passed the football to Higuain on the opposite side.
"Is he the Oriental who won the Golden Boy Award over De Ligt?" Ronaldo glanced at Arsenal and asked casually.
Higuain next to him nodded.
He still remembers the opponent's youthful and mature playing style in the Europa League last year. He feels that he may remember it for the rest of his life.
After playing in Europe for so long, Higuain feels that this is the first time he has seen such an outstanding young midfielder.
But this year, this person seems to have become even more powerful, and is still growing, and has actually reached the position of shadow forward.
Higuain felt that this person would definitely pose a huge threat to them today.
"Does he have any weaknesses?"
Although he had watched the Equation game video before the game, Ronaldo still couldn't help but ask Ramsey.
Ramsey smiled, shook his head and said: "Although it has only been a few months, I feel very unfamiliar with him. That guy is not like an earthling, who can be a good midfield commander at such a young age, and he is still Play as a forward. Who knows where he can play next."
Ronaldo didn't speak anymore.
He didn't know why, but he felt like he had heard similar words somewhere.
Soon, the players from both sides came to the stadium channel, and the game started immediately.
When Arsenal saw Ramsey, they almost gave him a friendly hug.
"It would be great if you were still at Arsenal, we can win the Champions League trophy together~"
Equation and Ramsey joked.
Ramsey laughed and replied: "I will not let your idea succeed. Our strength is also the most powerful in Europe."
Fang Fang smiled and said, "I hope so."
Afterwards, they chatted for a while, until the referee team came to the tunnel, and the players from both sides stood up in formation.
Soon, the game started.
The ball is in Arsenal's favor.
At the beginning of the game, Arsenal passed three passes and downed two. The rolling football seemed to have its own navigation system, avoiding Juventus players all the way.
Equation cooperated with Haaland to reach the Juventus penalty area. Haaland blasted a shot from 20 yards, slightly higher than the crossbar.
The home fans immediately gave out loud cheers, and the opening momentum shook the entire stadium.
Arsenal just opened the game and gave the Serie A hegemony a disastrous start!
"Block their passes! Don't miss anyone!!"
Sarri came to the Emirates Stadium to fight again, and he immediately shouted to the field.
