On The First Day After Being Expelled From The National Football Team, He Was Rewarded With A Long-R
207: Arsenal Faces A Devilish Schedule! The Champions League Quarterfinals Are Here! !
Time has entered April, and spring has gradually entered the British peninsula.
As the weather gets warmer, the rainy season is gradually ending.
As the weather improves, the viewing experience of Premier League fans is obviously gradually improving compared to winter.
And in April, the second half of the Premier League has also completely started!
The schedule has also become more intensive.
This month Arsenal will face a series of intensive processes!
Since the start of the new season, Arsenal has faced a devilish schedule of nine games in a single month for the first time!
This month, Arsenal have nine games to play.
These include five league games, one FA Cup fifth round, one EFL Cup final, and two legs of the Champions League quarter-finals.
In terms of competition arrangements, it can be said that this month's schedule does not give Arsenal any chance to breathe.
There are even two consecutive double matches in a week.
This is also a huge test for the physical condition of the entire Arsenal team.
You know, many Premier League teams often perform very well in the first half of the season.
But because there is no transition to the winter break, and the beginning of the second half of the league, there is often a very dense schedule.
Maybe an inadvertent game caused the team to collapse across the board.
Physical fitness, players' emotions and other aspects were seriously affected, and the final exhibition season was all in vain.
This situation is particularly common.
So after entering April, Wenger specially arranged a mental health team for the players.
Pay attention to the psychological status of the players to prevent players from having obvious resistance or related psychological fluctuations due to the intensive schedule.
And at the beginning of the April schedule.
The evening of April 1st.
The draw ceremony for the Champions League quarter-finals is underway in an orderly manner under the guidance of UEFA!
The smoke from the just-concluded round of 16 has cleared, and the top eight have returned to their respective places.
Among them, La Liga once again became the big winner, occupying three seats among the quarter-finals. Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid all advanced to the quarter-finals.
The Bundesliga is second, with Bayern Munich and Dortmund joining hands to advance to the quarterfinals.
Other leagues appear to be in decline. The Premier League, Ligue 1, and Serie A each retain a spark.
They are Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, and Juventus.
The top eight occupy three places, which is also related to the strength of La Liga in recent years.
The draw for the Champions League quarter-finals will no longer have the previous ‘avoidance principle’
The so-called avoidance principle means that teams from the same country and the same group will not be drawn together.
So with this draw, any potential matchups may exist.
For example, the match of the century between Real Madrid and Barcelona that countless viewers are eagerly anticipating.
But obviously, UEFA will not be stupid enough to let these two top football clubs meet in the quarterfinals.
And at the same time.
According to the rules of the Champions League, the birth of the quarter-finals means the beginning of the championship competition!
Therefore, the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals naturally attracted much attention.
After a long opening remarks, the exciting lottery ceremony began quickly and lasted for nearly two hours.
The eyes of European football and even the entire world football are intense.
The draw for the Champions League quarter-finals has also been settled!
Although it is said that the draw for the top eight no longer has the principle of avoidance.
But obviously, the result of the draw still follows this principle.
Of course, this is also UEFA's consistent style, in order to enhance the viewing experience of the game and create suspense.
Like the fans, the Arsenal players who have been paying attention to the draw ceremony now also know the opponents the team will face in the quarter-finals.
The giant club from Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain!
The whole Arsenal team is quite satisfied with this opponent.
I can't say it's a top draw, but it's still a good draw.
Wenger held a small video conference with the Arsenal players who were taking a break and briefly discussed the situation of the Champions League quarter-finals.
In the first half, Real Madrid faces Juventus and Barcelona faces Dortmund.
In the second half, Arsenal faces Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich faces Atletico Madrid.
In such a confrontation, some people are happy and some are worried.
But there is no doubt that for Arsenal at this time.
Preparing for the Champions League has obviously become a top priority!
Although the French giant Paris Saint-Germain was founded relatively late, in the 1970s, the club's history is nearly 90 years shorter than Arsenal.
But since the Qatari consortium officially acquired the shares of Paris Saint-Germain, this top French club has ushered in the era of gold-dollar football and completely monopolized Ligue 1.
Since the 2012-13 season, Paris has achieved four consecutive French Ligue 1 titles.
The team also has world-class players such as Thiago Silva, Cavani, Di Maria and Draxler.
The strength cannot be underestimated!
After some explanations, Wenger also ended the video conference and met with the players at the training ground the next day.
Arsenal’s April schedule will officially begin soon!
April 3rd is the first league day of Arsenal’s April schedule.
Away game against Bournemouth!
The two league opponents at the beginning of the month were relatively dull, namely Bournemouth and Southampton in the middle of the league.
But it is worth noting that the league match with Southampton and the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals with Paris Saint-Germain are double matches in one week.
So overall, Arsenal's physical distribution in the first half of the month needs to be reasonable enough.
On this day, the entire Arsenal team boarded the bus and took the high-speed train to Bournemouth, a city 150 kilometers away.
So far in the league, Arsenal has achieved 21 consecutive victories.
At this time, every Arsenal victory in the league is creating new history in the Premier League!
What followed was close attention from the outside world.
Even a seemingly ordinary league game will attract many media reporters to the sidelines.
After arriving in Bournemouth, the Arsenal players reorganized themselves and entered Bournemouth's home court [Shenn Court Stadium].
An hour later, with the enthusiastic shouts of the fans in the audience, the game officially started.
As soon as the game started, Arsenal quickly found their form and launched an aggressive press in the midfield and frontcourt.
In the fifth minute, Xhaka intercepted the ball near the midfield and handed the ball to Chen Yufeng.
Chen Yufeng advanced with the ball, and with Cesc Fabregas beside him, he hit the wall a few times and brought the ball to the edge of the penalty area.
Passed by a Bournemouth defender, dunked the ball to his right foot and shot!
The football hit the goal without any suspense, rushed into the net, and the score was changed!
One to zero, Arsenal got off to a good start.
In the following games, including the second half, Bournemouth, who are good at five-back formations, kept their gates closed and were determined not to let Arsenal expand their lead.
But around the 80th minute, Chen Yufeng still seized the opportunity and penetrated Bournemouth's iron wall with a scalpel, assisting Lacazette to score the second goal of the game.
The final score of the game was fixed at 2-0.
At this point, Lacazette's single-season goals have officially reached double figures, and Chen Yufeng has also raised his personal single-season scoring record to 36 goals!
Chen Yufeng's scoring spree continues, and the media is also very curious. After breaking the Premier League single-season scoring record, to what extent will Chen Yufeng improve this record?
0…Please give me flowers…
Forty goals in a single season?
Forty-five goals in a single season?
The media boldly speculated, but did not dare to draw a conclusion.
There is no other reason than that Chen Yufeng is too powerful at this time!
He also perfectly interpreted the terrifying offensive power of a historical Mr. Golden Ball.
No matter how powerful a striker is, he will inevitably fall into a scoring drought at some point.
But for Chen Yufeng, scoring goals is like searching for something, and there is no goal scoring shortage at all!
With Chen Yufeng's consecutive strong performances, Arsenal's winning streak continues.
On April 8th, Arsenal faced Southampton at home in the league.
The entire Arsenal team is very familiar with this opponent.
Like Chelsea, this is also the third time Arsenal has met Southampton this season.
The first two times, one was in the first half of the league and the other was in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup.
In this home game, Arsenal did not give Southampton any chance.
And at the same time.
In order to prepare for the Champions League showdown with Paris Saint-Germain that will be held in just two days.
In this game, Wenger made some rotations in the lineup.
Lacazette, Fabregas and Sanchez are all the main players.
...0
Wenger originally planned to let Chen Yufeng also participate in this renovation.
After all, as the absolute core of the team, the Arsenal Ballon d'Or's performance in the Champions League is crucial.
But at Chen Yufeng's insistence, Wenger also agreed to let him continue to start in this game.
In Chen Yufeng’s opinion.
At this time, he already possesses invincible iron lung skills and has sufficient physical fitness to adapt to the devil's schedule.
Therefore, the opportunity to take turns can be given to other players.
In this game, Chen Yufeng also led a group of young players who were originally on the bench to defeat Southampton away from home with a 3-1 victory!
Chen Yufeng scored one goal and two assists, scored two assists, and also participated in all the team's goals.
Continuing his personal hot streak, he led Arsenal to achieve 23 consecutive league wins!
At this point, Arsenal's league journey in the first half of the month has come to an end.
The next game is a focus battle in the middle of the month.
Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain!
In the quarter-finals draw, the team drawn first will play at home first.
Therefore, in this campaign, Arsenal will visit the Parc des Princes, home of Paris Saint-Germain, to face the French Ligue 1 giants!
Because the Golden Globe Award is held in Paris, Chen Yufeng, who just returned from there not long ago, went to Paris to play away from home again, so he is quite familiar with the game.
Soon, on April 10th.
The Arsenal team finished reorganizing, boarded the bus, and headed to London Airport.
For many Arsenal players, this is their first trip to France.
But for Lacazette, who played for Lyon in Ligue 1 before joining Arsenal, this away game is a return to his hometown, which has a special flavor.
An hour later, the plane landed at the Paris airport.
The entire Arsenal team also waited at the airport for a short period of time and boarded the bus that came to pick them up.
Driving on the streets of Paris, Chen Yufeng looked out the car window at the city street scene with great interest.
The last time I came to receive the award, I didn’t have much time to observe the whole city.
Every time you come to a new city, it will undoubtedly bring you many novel feelings.
Soon after, the bus arrived outside the Parc des Princes stadium.
The Arsenal players got out of the car one after another and prepared to enter the stadium.
The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is about to begin!
