Chapter 413 The Hope of the League Championship

The Champions League quarter-final between Arsenal and Bayern Munich will be played in half a month

At that time, in the first round of the contest, Arsenal will sit at the Emirates Stadium and usher in the powerful new universe team Bayern Munich.

For the knockout rounds, the schedule of host first and then away is not very favorable.

This means that Arsenal must not only try their best to win the opponent in the first round of the game, but also avoid being scored by the opponent in away goals.

Facing a gorgeous striker line composed of Ribery, Robben, Mario Gomez and other players, it is undoubtedly very difficult to prevent the opponent from scoring.

And once the opponent gets an away goal, Arsenal's second round of the game will become very difficult.

Therefore, this time the Champions League knockout round will be very difficult for the Gunners.Its difficulty is no less than that of encountering any European giants.

However, as long as you want to make a difference, difficulties will always be omnipresent.

Cowards will be defeated by difficulties, but warriors will find a way to defeat difficulties.

The game against Bayern Munich will definitely not be easy.But whether it is Chu Jiang or Arsenal, they never imagined that they would advance to the next round easily.

The Champions League has never been easy.

Difficulties are nothing, overcome it, overcome it, that is.The Gunners are mentally prepared to deal with this difficulty.

There is still a long time before the Bayern Munich game.Before that, Arsenal still have to focus on the league.

At present, Arsenal are still far from the top of the list.

They cannot afford to take their opponents lightly if they are to make it to the end of the league title race.

Fortunately, before the Champions League game, Arsenal's opponents were not too strong.In the next three rounds, Arsenal's opponents are Everton, Swansea and Reading.

The Gunners are currently in good morale, the injuries are not serious, and the players are in good condition.If there are no accidents, the three-game winning streak should not be too difficult.

that's the truth.

In the 29th round of the league, Arsenal defeated "Toffee" Everton 3:1 at home.

In the 30th round of the league, Arsenal was a guest at Wischfield Stadium and beat Swansea 2-0.

After returning to the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal defeated Reading with a score of 1:0.

Three games, three victories, the Gunners won three consecutive victories as they wished.

Coupled with the previous four consecutive league victories, the Gunners have achieved seven consecutive victories in the recent league!

After winning seven consecutive victories, Arsenal's points reached 67 points.

After 31 league rounds, their current record is 20 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses, still ranking third in the league, only behind Manchester United, which ranks first, and Manchester City, which ranks second.

Compared with the previous rounds of the league, Arsenal's league rankings have not undergone any changes.

But now, they are ahead of Chelsea, which ranks No. 4 in the league, by as many as 10 points.With the last 7 rounds of the league remaining, leading No.4 by as much as 10 points means that the Gunners have basically locked the top three places in this year's Premier League.

While widening the points gap with No.4 in the league, the points gap between Arsenal and the top two is also decreasing.

Arsenal, ranked first, currently has 72 points in the league; Manchester United, ranked second in the league, currently has 70 points.

In other words, from No.2, Arsenal is only 2 points ahead, which is only a gap of one goal.Manchester United are only 2 points behind the Gunners at the top of the list.

There are still the last 7 rounds of the league, and the gap of 2 points is not too much, not too little.

It is difficult for Manchester United to catch up with Arsenal, but it is not completely impossible.

At the end of the league, the Daily Mirror specially wrote an article to analyze the ownership of the league champion this season.

In the view of the Mirror, the teams that are currently in the first group to win the championship are undoubtedly the top three in the league, Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal.

As for Chelsea, which ranks fourth in the league, they are as many as 15 points away from Arsenal at the top of the list.

With 7 rounds left in the league and 15 points behind, Chelsea's championship should only be a theoretical hope.In the actual league, the probability of such a result is not higher than that of the European Super Lotto jackpot.

Therefore, the Mirror believes that if there are no super accidents, this season's Premier League champion should be born from the top three.

Is the team with the highest probability of winning the top-ranked Manchester United?
It looks like it should be.Because they are strong and currently in a leading position.

However, after some analysis, the editor of the Mirror believes that such speculation may not be correct.

Manchester United is No.1 and has the initiative to win the championship. There is nothing wrong with this.

In theory, as long as they win all of their next seven games, they will be guaranteed this year's league title.Whether it is Manchester City or Arsenal, there is nothing they can do about this result.

However, the problem is that it will be very difficult for Manchester United to win all seven games.

Because, among the top three, Manchester United's next seven league rounds will be the most difficult!

In the 32nd round of the league, Manchester United will welcome their opponents in the same city derby at home, and they are currently ranked second in the league, Manchester City.

This will be a life-and-death battle for the championship, for honor, and for dignity.It is not easy for any side to win such a derby.

In the 35th round of the league, Manchester United will be a guest at the Chiefs, ushering in another championship team, Arsenal!
If Manchester United fails to take all three points in the city derby, then in this game, the points gap between them and Arsenal may be within three points.

In other words, the outcome of this game may determine which of the two teams will lead and which team will fall behind.

By then, this game is likely to determine the final ownership of the Premier League champions this season!
In such a Tianwangshan battle, the difficulty for Manchester United to win is not much lower than the victory over Manchester City.

After a passionate collision with Arsenal, Manchester United will face Chelsea's challenge again in the 36th round of the league.

Another powerful conversation!
Matches against Chelsea are never easy.This game may be even more so.

Because, Chelsea's situation is also very delicate.

Chelsea have little hope of competing for the top three in the league. Their goal this season may be to successfully keep fourth in the league and successfully qualify for the Champions League next season.

However, it is not easy for Chelsea to achieve this goal.

Because the points gap between them and Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Newcastle United and other teams is not that big.If you don't pay attention, Chelsea may be overtaken by them and miss the chance to participate in the Champions League next season.

Such a loss cannot be afforded by Chelsea.

Therefore, at that time, the game between Manchester United and Chelsea is likely to evolve into a bayonet battle between the championship team and the top four teams.No matter which team, it's time to win.

By then, it will naturally be even more difficult for Manchester United to win against Chelsea.

In the seven rounds of the league, Manchester United has three very difficult games.It is conceivable that they want to successfully win this year's Premier League championship.

So, regardless of Arsenal's current lead over Manchester City and Manchester United, the difficulty of winning the championship may be the least one.

Compared with Manchester United, the difficulty of the last seven league rounds of Manchester City and Arsenal can only be described as average.

Manchester City's next seven games are against Manchester United, West Bromwich Albion, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, Swansea, Reading or Norwich.

For Manchester City, the only game that is more difficult to deal with is the game against Manchester United.The rest of the matches were not too difficult,

However, Tottenham Hotspur have hopes of competing for the top four, while Swansea, Reading and Norwich are facing pressure to relegation, so it is still unlikely for Manchester City to easily pass this schedule.

In comparison, Arsenal, which ranks last among the three teams, may have the easiest one in their next league schedule.

In the next seven rounds, the Gunners' opponents were West Bromwich Albion, Norwich, Fulham, Manchester United, Queens Park Rangers, Wigan Athletic and Newcastle United.

Like Manchester City, Arsenal will also encounter Manchester United (poor Manchester United...), they will also encounter Newcastle in the top four, and they will also encounter relegation teams like Norwich.

Judging from the schedule, Arsenal's opponents seem to be similar to Manchester City, and the difficulty should be similar.

actually not.

When Arsenal met Newcastle United, it was already the last round of the league.By that time, the ownership of League No.4 may have been determined.In other words, when Arsenal met Newcastle United, the Magpies may have no desires, and there is no need to fight Arsenal.

When Arsenal met Norwich and other relegation teams, it happened to be the early stage of the next stage of the schedule.

When there are still 6 or 7 rounds of matches in the league, the relegation situation of the relegation team is not so severe.

In other words, it is not yet time to burn.

Under such circumstances, they may be more pragmatic, that is, selectively give up some games against strong teams, and instead keep all their physical strength in direct dialogue with relegation opponents.

After all, the risk is too great to break ground on the Gunners who have won seven consecutive victories.

Instead of wasting all their physical energy and state on an opponent who is difficult to win, they should save their strength and fight for [-] rounds with opponents on the road to relegation.

Therefore, when encountering these teams, Arsenal will not encounter too much resistance.

Therefore, the Gunners' schedule is similar to that of Manchester City on the surface, but the actual difficulty is much lower.

United are in a catch-up position in this season's Premier League title race and have the toughest fixtures ahead.The Gunners rank dominant, but the schedule is relatively easy.

Manchester City's situation is the same as their ranking, in the middle of Manchester United and the Gunners.

Therefore, the Mirror believes that the three teams have roughly the same chance of winning the championship this season based solely on the analysis of team strength and schedule.If last season's Premier League championship was a two-horse struggle, then this year's championship will be a three-legged rivalry.

Such a fierce championship atmosphere is exciting enough!
