MTL - Strong Waist-Chapter 965 decisive moment
Chapter 965 The decisive moment
"Burnley played a wonderful game for 77 minutes, but in the end they were still scored by Arsenal. This was Arsenal's third counterattack in this game. Three counterattacks scored goals, which not only showed Arsenal's Strong counterattack ability, and steady defensive performance!"
The commentator Andy Gray praised.
After this goal, Arsenal also became more morale.
After they retreated, they continued to maintain a defensive posture.
Did not give Burnley any chance to score the goal.
After attacking again and again and being blocked again and again, Burnley also reluctantly accepted the fact.
When the 90 minutes of the game ended, Arsenal finally won the game.
After Manchester City, also completed the feat of breaking 100 points in a single season.
And this also caused the entire Premier League to boil.
Manchester City's performance of breaking 100 points is nothing more than Arsenal's performance, which has brought them too much excitement.
In one season, the two teams scored over 100 points.
This means that these two teams almost dominate the league.
The points difference between Arsenal and Manchester City is still only 2 points.
As for the third place, they couldn't even see their taillights.
At the end of the game, after the Arsenal players returned to the locker room, the first thing they did was to ask about Manchester City's score.
Manchester City's game ended almost simultaneously.
The final score was Manchester City's 2:1 victory over Stoke City.
In this regard, the Arsenal players feel slightly regretful.
But in this game, Stoke City also used a desperate gesture to almost capsize Manchester City in the gutter.
In the 89th minute, Stoke City relied on a corner kick to blast Cayman City's goal and almost drew.
But in the final stoppage time, Stoke City won a penalty for Manchester City due to its too fierce defense.
David Silva scored the ball steadily and Manchester City finally won the game.
So far, the suspense of the championship still exists.
After 37 rounds, the fierce battle almost in October, the championship is about to be born.
At the same time, both Arsenal and Manchester City have become teams with more than 100 points in a single season, which also makes the Premier League one of the current focuses in Europe.
On the eve of the World Cup, when football became a hot topic in the world, Arsenal and Manchester City became the "peerless twins" in the mouth of the fans.
Which of these two teams can win the final Premier League championship has also become one of the hottest topics.
Is Manchester City the Premier League champion for two consecutive years?
Or is Arsenal winning the league title again after five years?
All of this will come to fruition on the 'finals' stage a week later.
For this reason, the entire British and European media are warming up the game in advance.
Currently, the champions of other divisions have basically been announced.
As for the title of the Premier League champion, the suspense is still left to the end, but this time it is a direct confrontation between the two sides. Their victory or defeat will determine the title of the champion.
Arsenal and Manchester City fans have begun to clamor.
In the media reports, from time to time, we can see some fans' strange ways of cheering.
At the front foot, the Manchester City fans just used the yacht to hang the banner of "Champion belongs to Manchester City" and went down the rapids of the Thames River.
On the back foot, Arsenal fans let the plane drag the banner of "Arsenal is the champion" over Manchester.
The fans of both sides are also competing with each other, facing each other.
The spats on the Internet are even more intense.
Every day, fans from both sides would go to the gate of the training base to shout and cheer for the team.
Because too many fans engaged in this kind of behavior, the club cooperated with the traffic control department to directly block some roads so that the players can go back and forth normally.
But these can't solve the core problem at all, some fans will still run to the player's door and shout non-stop.
It can be said that so far, the behavior of these fans is what makes the players feel helpless the most.
They can't be scolded or beaten, so they can only endure it.
One week, whether it is long or not, is not short.
Whether players or fans live on their fingers.
For Arsenal, their only advantage in this game is to play at home.
Manchester City have performed very well recently, while Arsenal have home court advantage and at the same time use defense to contain the opponent's offense.
This requires them to quickly build a defensive network after the opening.
At the same time strengthen the sweep of the front field.
Arsenal is not unfamiliar with this tactic, but neither the players nor the coaches are particularly confident.
Arsenal so!
The same is true for Manchester City.
Guardiola also watches Arsenal’s previous battle reports and videos every day, constantly analyzing and correcting tactics.
It can be said that this game has brought tremendous pressure to both teams.
After all, the champion is now, who can relax?
After 37 rounds of competition, the physical and mental pressure of the players in the entire league has been great enough, and now they are facing the championship battle, which undoubtedly puts even heavier pressure on them.
But even when the pressure is high, they have to go forward.
After all, there is only one champion!
There is only one winner!
The weekend is coming, and London has become extremely hot since the morning.
Perhaps this battle that directly determines the ownership of the Champions League is about to begin.
The whole city of London has a sense of oppression before the storm.
Arsenal's billboards have been posted on the street lights on both sides of the road leading to the Emirates Stadium.
On both sides of the street, a large number of Arsenal fans and various flags are constantly waving.
Arsenal fans put as much pressure on Manchester City as possible, while cheering for the home team.
Manchester City arrived in London one day earlier.
They experienced a day of rest in London, and the rest was not bad.
Although Arsenal fans also made trouble in the middle of the night, they didn't affect much.
Manchester City players are already familiar with these.
Around 9 o'clock, Guardiola led Manchester City's players to the Emirates Stadium for field adaptation training.
Emirates Stadium has begun to build the arch.
In the corner of the room, podiums are piled up, which will be ready for players to step on after installation.
The trophy table is also placed in the player tunnel.
The Premier League trophy for the 2017/2018 season is already on its way.
Before the game starts, the trophy will be placed in the middle of the player channel, and players can watch the trophy up close.
This can also arouse their will to compete for the championship.
After the stepping was almost completed, Manchester City returned to the hotel again and began to make the final touches.
On the other side, the Arsenal players also had lunch at the training base.
Lunch is very light, but has a certain sense of fullness.
At this time, even if the players are given a big meal, they can't eat it.
After all, under intense tension, appetite will definitely decrease.
And it’s not good to eat too much, which is not conducive to the competition.
The bus has already stopped in front of the locker room, waiting for the players to pack their bags and take them.
Everything is arranged in an orderly manner.
Mourinho didn't talk about any topics about the game all morning. He chatted more with the players in a relaxed manner.
This also relieved the pressure and tension of the players a little.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Arsenal's 18 squad roster players have already made the bus.
Mourinho directly began to announce the starting list.
Goalkeeper: Martinez.
Defenders: Monreal, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.
Midfielders: Kanter, Xhaka, Lucky.
Forwards: Aubameyang, Giroud, Mane.
In this game, Xhaka became the starter. Compared with Iwobi, Xhaka is more suitable for the defensive lineup.
And also has a good defensive ability, which relieves some of Lucky's work on defense.
Lucky is under a lot of pressure in this game.
Not only must the defense and counterattack be completed, but also the rhythm of the midfield must be ensured so that Manchester City will not be directly blown away.
Arsenal still pins their greatest hope on Lucky.
Finally, Mourinho closed his notebook, looked around and said:
"This is the last game of the season, I hope you don't have any regrets, boys, the time to fight has come!"
"Our opponents are strong, but we are equally strong!"
"I have to doubt myself, and don't underestimate my opponent too much. Stay cautious, stay calm, and stay confident!"
Mourinho patted his chest and said in a deep voice, "Let's go and win the championship together!"
The third watch is here!
