Chapter 756 Chapter 751: Champions League quarter-finals start!

Arsenal's main players have basically not rested recently, Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, European Cup qualifiers...

The main players did not lose a game, and their physical fitness has reached the limit.

So against Blackburn at home, Wenger put them all on the bench, and the Trident didn't even make the substitute list.

Wenger is here to thoroughly test Arsenal's bench depth.

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, the game started at the Emirates Stadium on time, and Arsenal attacked the opponent by virtue of their home court advantage.

As time went by, Blackburn's players suddenly discovered that despite Arsenal's fierce attack, it was difficult to threaten their goal.

So their confidence came back, and they slowly regained their disadvantages on the field, fighting against Arsenal.

The fierce game unfolded at the Emirates Stadium, but the forwards wasted scoring opportunities time and time again.

After 10 and [-] minutes of fierce fighting, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Also put most of the main players on the bench, but Manchester United defeated West Ham United [-]-[-] away!

With the win, United have narrowed the gap with Arsenal to eight points.

The Manchester City Evening News shouted: "Come on, Manchester United, you may create a miracle and surpass Arsenal to regain the Premier League title!"

The Daily Mail commented: "It is still too early to say that Manchester United has a chance to threaten Arsenal's championship situation. After all, there are only nine rounds left in the Premier League. If Arsenal do not make mistakes, they basically have no chance.

This round of competition can only illustrate one problem-the Gunners' bench depth cannot be compared with the Red Devils! "

Another important reason for Wenger to put all the main players on the bench is that the Champions League quarter-finals are about to begin.

With the situation of winning the Premier League gradually clear, he will focus on the Champions League.

Although Arsenal's opponent is the Ukrainian team that double-killed in the group stage, Wenger did not underestimate the opponent.

On April 04th, the Champions League will be rekindled, Real Madrid will face Tottenham at home, and Inter Milan will welcome Bundesliga powerhouse Schalke [-] at San Siro.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the two games started on time at the same time.

No one expected that these two games would score a big score!
Mourinho commanded the silver battleship to beat Tottenham with four goals at the Bernabeu, and Inter Milan lost 04 to [-] at the foot of Schalke [-] at San Siro!

At the post-match press conference, Mourinho said vigorously: "What we have to do now is not to think about how to play in the away game, but who the next opponent is."

The Portuguese is qualified to be high-spirited. Before he came to Real Madrid, Real Madrid was dubbed "the first round of the knockout round". They failed to pass the first round of the knockout round a few years ago.

This is his first season at Real Madrid, and he immediately changed this embarrassing record, and they have almost reached the semi-finals with one foot!
In addition, Inter Milan's disastrous defeat at home at the feet of Schalke 04 further highlighted his ability.

Last season, he led Inter Milan back to the top of Europe after a lapse of 44 years, and now Inter Milan lost to Schalke 04 at home.

With those two games over, fans turn their eyes to London!
The other two Champions League quarter-finals are played in London.

Arsenal take on Shakhtar Donetsk at the Emirates Stadium and Chelsea take on Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.

It is generally believed that there is no big problem for Arsenal to kill the Ukrainian powerhouse at home. The only suspense is what score they will win.

Can the second round lose its suspense?

The collision of giants between Chelsea and Manchester United is undoubtedly a battle of focus, which has attracted the attention of more fans.

According to the analysis of the London media, it is very likely that Chelsea will win a small victory at home. Of course, the possibility of a draw is not ruled out.

The media in Manchester City believes that Manchester United has a chance to take away a victory at Stamford Bridge.

At 07:30 on the evening of the [-]th, the Emirates Stadium and the Stamford Bridge Stadium were crowded with people. This is a festival for London fans.

That was definitely a world-wide event!

At 45:[-], the two stadiums roared with cheers, and the starters of the four teams walked out of the player tunnel!

At eight o'clock, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the two games started at the same time.

At the Emirates Stadium, Shakhtar Donetsk, who took the lead in serving, moved the football to the backcourt, and Arsenal's midfielder pounced on it like a pack of hungry wolves.

They rested for a week, and their physical and mental state has recovered.

Arsenal's high-post pressing is very characteristic. Chen Fan and Van Persie are responsible for pounce, and other players are responsible for cutting off the opponent's passing route.

Faced with Chen Fan's pounce, the Shakhtar Donetsk defender made a direct pass and moved the football to the center circle. Song used his strong body to squeeze away the opponent's midfielder and steal the football.

Then he immediately made a long diagonal pass, transferring the football to Van Persie's feet.

The Dutch center distributed the football to the left, and Chen Fan made a breakthrough after getting the ball.

Speed ​​is his deadly weapon, and technology is his ultimate way to kill the enemy.

Chen Fan combined speed and technique, and with a change of direction and speed, left the opponent's full-back behind.

Then he took the football and quickly rushed to the opponent's penalty area.

Van Persie ran with a back cross. As soon as he ran in place, Chen Fan passed the football to his feet.

"Snapped!……"

Van Persie made a direct pass, and Chen Fan appeared in front of him like lightning, and then he shot!
The goalkeeper of Shakhtar Donetsk struggled to make a save, his right hand was difficult to block in front of the football, and the football changed direction slightly and continued to move forward!
"Pong!..."

With a loud bang, the football hit the post and popped out of the bottom line!

"boom!……"

There was thunderous applause at the Emirates Stadium. Although the goal was not scored, it had the effect of knocking mountains and shaking tigers.

In the ensuing game, Arsenal completely controlled the rhythm of the field and launched a fierce attack on the Ukrainian powerhouse.

The game presented a one-sided situation.

"How long can Shakhtar Donetsk last?"

The reporters on the sidelines expressed such emotion.

The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium is warm, but Stamford Bridge is quite dull.

Both Chelsea and Manchester United seemed very cautious and focused on defense. It was difficult for both sides to advance to the range of 30 meters from the opponent's goal.

In the 17th minute of the first half, Drogba finally ushered in a chance to shoot. He shot a heavy shot in front of the penalty area, and the football roared towards Manchester United's goal!
Van der Sar leaps away and saves the football from the baseline.

At this moment, there is a good chance to score at the Emirates Stadium.

Under Arsenal's continuous attack, Shakhtar Donetsk's defenders have become easier to handle the ball. Whenever they have the opportunity, they will directly kick the football forward with a big foot.

As for whether their teammates could get the ball, they didn't think about it at all.

Fabregas made a diagonal pass, and Van Persie and the opponent's midfielder ran towards the football. At this moment, the center back of Shakhtar Donetsk dropped the center of gravity and shoveled the football out.

The football happened to fly to Chen Fan's feet!

After Chen Fan took the ball, he flicked his right foot, then took a step forward and raised his right leg!

He wants a long shot!

Long-range shooting is the only way to break the dense defense.

The football roared and flew towards the right side of the goal!

The football hit the leg of the central defender standing in the penalty area during the flight, and immediately changed direction and flew towards the left side of the goal!

The Shakhtar Donetsk goalkeeper couldn't react in time and could only watch the football roll into the net!

The ball is in!
The score became one to zero!

Arsenal broke the deadlock on the field!
