Chapter 430 Suspense of the Champion

On May 5, the Gunners announced their squad for an away game against Newcastle United.

Li Yuxin returned from injury and returned to the team's roster.

On May 5th, the last round of the Premier League, which is also the most critical round to determine the league championship, officially started!

Arsenal challenged Newcastle United in an away game, and Manchester City played against Norwich in the main city. These two games related to the ownership of the league title will be played at the same time!
Currently, Arsenal are at the top of the league standings, and the situation for the league title is very good.

However, Manchester City, behind the Gunners, is only 1 point away from them.

If Arsenal lose to Newcastle United and Manchester City wins Norwich, then the standings will be reversed again in the final round, and the Gunners will almost win the league title and give it to Blue Moon.

On the road to competing for the championship, the Gunners have struggled for eight years.

After eight years of resistance war, they finally saw the dawn of the championship with great difficulty.If it fell at this time, it would be a great tragedy.

Such a result must not be tolerated.

Therefore, in this duel with the Magpies, the Gunners will still not have the slightest effort.

If Arsenal and Newcastle United draw.And Manchester City beat Norwich, then Arsenal and Manchester City will have 84 points together.

Same score in Serie A.It is to compare the records between each other to determine the final championship; and the points in the Premier League are the same.The comparison is the goal difference.

After 37 rounds of the league, Arsenal's goal difference is 64, while Manchester City's goal difference is 63. The difference between the two teams' goal difference is only a hair's breadth.

This also means that if the Gunners and Newcastle United have a draw and Manchester City beat Norwich with a goal difference of more than two, Manchester City's goal difference will exceed Arsenal.

In that case, Manchester City will surpass Arsenal's league rankings and return to the top of the standings.

In the last round of the league, Norwich belonged to a team that had no desires and no desires, and the outcome of the game had long since lost its practical significance to them.In addition, their strength is obviously at a disadvantage, and they are still playing away. If they really lose to Manchester City by more than two goals, that is also very possible.

In fact, before the start of the last round of the league, those football betting companies in Europe were optimistic about Manchester City beating Norwich with more than 3 goals at home.

In other words, if Arsenal draw with Newcastle United and the league points are tied by Manchester City, they are likely to lose the championship.

Although the points are two points ahead, in fact, Arsenal's lead is very weak.

In this round of the league, neither losing nor tying the ball will work, leaving the Gunners with the last option, which is to win away at the Magpies!
Only victory can usher in the championship!
Are you afraid?
Newcastle United has never been a weak team. They are also a team with more wins and fewer losses at home.If you want to win in St. James, this is not a task that can be done casually.

Are you afraid?
Want to back off?

"Today, we will be champions!"

Before the game, when walking out of the locker room, Li Yuxin encouraged his teammates one last time.

If you want to win the championship, you must have the courage to defeat any opponent.There is no doubt that Li Yuxin is such a veritable champion player.

When the competition is approaching, he not only adjusts his state to the best, but also spares no effort to cheer for his teammates, so that they can enter the fearless state of the game as soon as possible.

Soon, the final round of the Premier League, in the anticipation of hundreds of millions of fans, finally kicked off.

Arsenal and Manchester City, who are trying to win, both began to work hard on the field for their respective dreams of winning the championship.

Compared with Manchester City playing at home, Arsenal's game at St. James Stadium is obviously more difficult.

Although the outcome of this game is not very important to the Magpies, no one likes to lose, especially in the last round of the league, losing in front of tens of thousands of home fans.

Therefore, the Gunners encountered a strong resistance from their opponents in St. James.

The Gunners in the away game, as always, launched their tactics of possession of the ball in the frontcourt, using offense instead of defense, and launched a fierce attack on the hinterland of the Magpies' penalty area.And Newcastle United did not show any weakness. Using the speed and impact of the midfielders, they also created a very big threat to Arsenal's defense in their quick counterattacks.

The two teams came and went, and the pace of the game suddenly became very fast. There were many exciting scenes on the field, which made the neutral stadium enjoyable and made the Arsenal fans feel cold sweat.

Open football means that both teams will not have too few scoring opportunities.

If Arsenal score first.Then they can grasp their own destiny; otherwise, their prospects of winning the championship will be cast a shadow.

The Gunners understand this very well.

As the player with the most goals in the Premier League this season, Li Yuxin has of course been "cared for" by his opponents.

As a result, Arsenal's offense was ineffective in the first 10 minutes, but the Magpies counterattacked vigorously.

In the 8th minute, the French geek Ben Arfa forcibly broke through Diaby and raised his foot to shoot from the edge of the penalty area. The football went straight to the upper right corner of the Gunners' gate.

Fortunately, Buffon was very focused. He reacted quickly, leaped into the air, and hit the ball beyond the crossbar with a single palm.

In the 16th minute, Cabaye received a pass from his teammate in the penalty area, turned around forcibly, and shot the ball directly to the lower right corner of the goal with a sweep.

Although the line of sight was blocked, Buffon still quickly judged Cabaye's shooting intention.

Relying on his quick response and good positioning, he fell to the ground and threw himself sideways, forcing the football that was about to roll into the net to the goal line, once again resolving the danger in front of the goal.

In the 23rd minute, Gutierrez played a world wave in the penalty area. The football went straight up and down in the air, drawing a strange arc, and went straight to the dead corner of the goal at an extremely fast speed.

At the critical moment, it was Buffon flying and diving again, blocking the ball out of the goal at the critical moment.

Buffon, who has rich experience and is still vigorous, is the pinnacle of Arsenal's defense.

After a successful season, many media and many fans have regarded Buffon as the best goalkeeper in the Premier League and the pinnacle of Arsenal's defense.

In this game, Buffon, known as the "best goalkeeper in the Premier League", made his debut at St. James Stadium for the first time.And his outstanding performance has also made the fans of the Magpies envious.

The No. [-] goalkeeper is the No. [-] goalkeeper, and it really lives up to its reputation!
This is the true thought of countless Newcastle United fans at this moment.

When the outcome of the game is irrelevant, the mood of the fans watching the game has become much more relaxed.Looking at this game with the mentality of enjoying football, Buffon's performance is enough to win their heartfelt applause.

The Gunners' offense is not good, but fortunately Buffon is still so awesome.

When the first half reached the 28th minute, the score of the game at St. James Stadium was still fixed at 0:0.

Both teams had chances to score, but neither scored a goal first.

At this moment, news of a goal came from another field.

In the 28th minute, David Silva made a wonderful pass, and Aguero scored a goal in the penalty area. 1:0, Manchester City took the lead!

With Aguero's goal, Manchester City's league points reached 84 points, the same points as Arsenal!

At this moment, the two teams have the same goal difference, while Manchester City has more goals.Relying on the advantage of the number of goals, Manchester City once again reversed Arsenal and took the lead in the standings!
Just when the Gunners fans were frustrated that their team gave up the top position in the standings, the bad news came again.

In the 29th minute, Yaya Toure grabbed a header in the penalty area and scored another goal!
2: 0!

Manchester City's victory is in their hands!

"We will be champions!"

Although the result has not yet been settled, Manchester City fans can't wait to start celebrating.

At this moment, the Blue Moon players running on the court to celebrate are their pride.

Ittihad, rejoicing!
Indeed, if the Premier League is announced to end at this moment, then Manchester City will successfully overtake Arsenal and win the Premier League championship as they wish.

If they win, it will be the second time in their club history that they have won England's top flight, and the first time in history that they have won back-to-back league titles.

Two consecutive championships in the top league, what kind of glory is this!

If they win this year's league championship, most of the players in this Manchester City team, including their coach Mancini, will enter the Blue Moon Hall of Fame and become the eternal legend of this team.

And the fans sitting at the Etihad Stadium watching the game will be the witnesses and witnesses of this historic moment!
They couldn't help but be ecstatic at such an exciting moment.

Of course, apart from fanatical and aggressive fans, there are also some calm and rational fans.

Although they also had smiles on their faces at this time, they were not as crazy as their companions.

They know that although Manchester City is only half a step away from the championship, it is not an easy task to cross this half step.

Because, as long as the game is not completely over, Arsenal may still come from behind and surpass Manchester City again.regain the top spot in the league standings.

To achieve such a reversal, regain the championship initiative.What is needed is for Arsenal to win Newcastle United.

Want to win, at least.The Gunners have to find a way to score first.

This goal.When will it come?

Manchester City fans prayed for the Magpies to score a goal quickly.The Arsenal fans are looking forward to the Gunners scoring the first goal.At this moment, fans all over England are paying attention to the focused battle between Arsenal and Newcastle United, waiting for the birth of the first goal in this game.

However, although the fans were anxiously looking forward to it, they still "only heard the sound of the stairs. No one came down".Throughout the first half, the pace of the game between Arsenal and Newcastle United was very fast, the scene was very open, and there were many shooting opportunities, however.Just no goals.

Whether it's a gunner or a magpie.Neither seemed to really find a way to crack the opponent's defense.The shooters on both sides have not broken the deadlock on the court for a long time.

In the end, the first half of the game quickly came to an end with a score of 0:0.

At half-time, the Arsenal players inquired about the result of the other game.

Some of them also hope that Norwich can help them and "walk" them to win the league championship.

Dreams are beautiful, but reality is always cruel.

It didn't take long for the Gunners to know the outcome of another game.

3: 0!

Manchester City lead Norwich 3-0 at home!

At the end of the first half, the Norwich defender accidentally knocked the ball into his own goal when making a clearance.Relying on the "Oolong Gift" presented by the opponent, Blue Moon had already gained a 3-goal lead during the halftime break!

Manchester City has already led by 3 goals. If there is no accident, their victory over Norwich by a big score is almost a foregone conclusion.

Before the start of the game, the Arsenal players may also hope that Manchester City will stumble and that Norwich will repeat the magic of Reading.But right now, those fantasies are being shattered by reality.

This is tantamount to a blow to Arsenal.

However, everything is not broken.

Sometimes bad things can turn into good things.

After learning that Manchester City leads Norwich by a large score, the unrealistic fantasies of Arsenal players can be completely given up.

Now, they have no way out.

Lose or draw, they will lose the championship.

If they want to win the championship back from Manchester City, they can only fight the Magpies.Other than that, there is no second choice!

Count on others to help?

That, is not reliable!
Gunners, it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on the sky.

It is impossible to rely on the help of other teams and win the championship with luck!

If you really want to win that championship, then show your true skills!

When fate pushes you to a corner, it's life testing you.

If you are real gold, you will not be afraid of fire; if you are a champion, you will go forward bravely!

Sprinkle blood on the court, a cup of pride sacrifices to the rivers and lakes, a red heart illuminates the moon, and a punch and a kick determine the world.

A real man should be passionate, full of pride, go forward bravely, and use his own hands to get back his own happiness!

During the intermission, Wenger, Li Yuxin, Podolski and others were all cheering for their teammates.

"Brothers, you played well in the first half!"

After Wenger and others spoke, Li Yuxin also took over the conversation, and he attracted the attention of his teammates with one sentence.

0:0, without scoring a goal, the championship is about to be lost, not bad?

The teammates looked at Li Yuxin suspiciously, waiting for his next explanation.

Seeing the confused and depressed expressions of his teammates, Li Yuxin just smiled lightly, looking confident.

When the pressure forced the Gunners to lose confidence, at least Li Yuxin's calmness could give his teammates more confidence and courage.

"Yeah, you all played really well, everyone worked really hard. I'm so proud of myself guys."

"Yes, we didn't score; yes, we lost the top spot. But, you know, just a few seasons ago, we were 13 points behind Manchester City and Manchester United. At that time, everyone would have said that the Gunners' season was over and they said we were finished. But, are we really finished? Are we really lost? Huh?"

Li Yuxin's eyes were like electricity, scanning his teammates with passion.

yes!Li Yuxin was right!
a month ago.All the media believe that this year's Premier League will be a one-man show for the city brothers Manchester City and Manchester United.And Arsenal.Not even worthy of being a spoiler!
But what about reality? !
The reality is mercilessly given to all the people who once underestimated the gunman.A loud and powerful slap!

Never underestimate the gunner, never underestimate a brave heart that pursues dreams!

Recalling those victories in the past, the Gunners can't help but feel excited.

"Today's game is destined to be difficult. But what are you afraid of when you have difficulties? The past month has proved it. We Gunners will never be afraid of difficulties!"

"We didn't score in the first half, but I believe in the ability of each of you."

"I believe that as long as we play at our level and attack at the same pace we used to play, sooner or later we will score goals."

At this time, Buffon also stood up boldly and said: "I can do not much. But, I can tell you. As long as I am here, I will not let them cross our goal line easily."

"This is my promise to all of you. Believe me, go attack with confidence, I will always be behind you and always support you."

"No matter what the result is, we have worked hard together, we have fought hard together, we will not regret it!"

What Buffon did and said may not be wise.

However, at least he gave his teammates and the team an attitude.

We have to fight!

Regardless of life or death, regardless of the outcome, we must fight!

How many times can you fight in life, and how many times can the Gunners approach the championship?If you don't fight at this time, when will you have to wait?
Since there is no way to retreat, then kill a bloody way!
Now that Manchester City has blocked Arsenal's retreat, let St. James Stadium witness our final struggle!

After the efforts of Buffon and Wenger, the Gunners regained their confidence.

At least, they still have the courage to fight one last time!

Re-entering the game, the Gunners completely put the outcome of another game behind them.Now, at this moment, their only opponent is Newcastle United; their only goal is to win!

The second half of the game started soon.

In the second half of the game, the Arsenal players were obviously more excited than in the first half, and more troops were invested in the offense.It looked like they had already settled 0:1 and were eager to equalize the score.

For the Gunners' fierce counterattack, the Newcastle United players seemed a little caught off guard.

After the intermission, they thought that their opponents would continue to play at the same pace as in the first half.

Unexpectedly, at the very beginning of the match, the opponents were like a group of wounded hungry wolves, rushing towards them ferociously.

Attack, attack, attack!
For defense, Buffon is fine, all the Gunners have to do is attack!

In the 47th minute, Bell took a long shot from outside the penalty area and went over the crossbar.

Two minutes later, Walcott broke through from the wing and then made a cross from the bottom. Li Yuxin grabbed a shot and the football went wide of the post.

In the 53rd minute, Li Yuxin shook the defensive player outside the penalty area and volleyed vigorously at the far corner of the goal, and the football went away again.

Although several consecutive attacks failed, the Gunners' attack like a storm still put a strong pressure on the Magpies' defense, making each of their players exhausted in defense.

It didn't take long for Arsenal to take full advantage of the scene.

Now, what they lack is just a goal.

At such a critical moment, who can stand up, open the shackles of fate for the gunners, and lead the arsenal to great strides towards victory?
