Football King Bale

Chapter 78 Let Arsenal Die

The moment Bale scored his first goal, the atmosphere at the new Wembley Stadium was ignited. The majority of Tottenham fans turned the stadium, which can accommodate 90,000 fans, into a sea of ​​joy. .

And when five minutes later, Bell once again shouldered three Portsmouth players and scored the Portsmouth goal for the second time with a powerful header, the new Wembley Stadium exploded instantly.

Contrary to the Tottenham players and fans who were so excited that they were about to explode, the more than 30,000 Portsmouth fans who came from afar, even though it was a warm spring day, they could not feel the breath of spring at all. I felt the biting chill.

The Portsmouth players were also devastated. According to the head coach's arrangement, they persisted for almost the entire game. Seeing that there were only ten minutes left, the game was about to enter overtime as planned. However, they did not expect that their defense line would break out in just five minutes. Collapsed.

The reality is too cruel!

If they were only behind by one goal, they could come back if they worked hard, but now they are two goals behind. Even if injury time is added to the game, there are only ten minutes left. How can they come back?

Therefore, when Tottenham ended their celebration and the game restarted, Portsmouth did not quickly kick off and attack like they did after losing the ball last time. They seemed to have no fighting spirit and just wanted the game to end immediately.

………………

Looking at the lost Portsmouth soldiers and the desperate fans, Lao Lei felt uncomfortable.

Ray has coached Portsmouth twice. Especially the last time he coached, before he joined Tottenham more than a year ago, he coached Portsmouth for three years. During this period, he also led the Pompeii Legion to win the FA Cup. The two sides had a ten-year period. Sweet relationship.

But now, the old club's relegation from the Premier League is inevitable, it's just a matter of time. Now even the last happiness of his old club - the hope of entering the FA Cup final - has been wiped out by him.

The reality is too cruel!

However, Lao Lei will not deliberately let the team lose because of his unbearable heart. In any case, Tottenham is his current club, and he has to consider Tottenham's performance.

Therefore, he stood on the sidelines and signaled Tottenham players to pay attention to defense in the last few minutes of the game to ensure victory.

Not only that, in subsequent games, Lao Lei also intermittently took advantage of three dead ball opportunities to replace Bell, Modric and Crouch, allowing them to enjoy the cheers of the fans while also saving some energy. It also achieved the purpose of consuming some game time.

Regarding Lao Lei's approach, Grant and the Portsmouth soldiers did not make any remarks. They had no hope of equalizing the score.

In the end, when referee Willy sounded the end of the game, the score was still above 2:0. Tottenham defeated Portsmouth and reached the FA Cup final again after 19 years.

After the game, Lao Lei came to the court, hugged his former disciples from the Portsmouth team, and comforted the disappointed Grant.

………………

With Tottenham defeating Portsmouth to reach the final, the FA have one less headache to worry about whether to agree to Portsmouth's participation in the European war.

The three teams of Manchester City, Liverpool and Villa no longer need to worry about whether they can participate in the European War next season, because as long as they are not caught up by Everton and Birmingham behind them, they will definitely be able to participate in the Europa League. cup competition.

Because this season's League Cup championship was won by Tottenham, the FA Cup will be between Tottenham and Chelsea, and both teams will definitely get Champions League seats, so the three Europa League seats in the Premier League, It will definitely fall on the three teams ranked fifth to seventh in the Premier League.

Of course, they don't dare to covet a place in the Champions League, because the league has now reached the 33rd round, and even Manchester City, which is closest to the top four, has only scored 61 points, and is still 10 points behind Arsenal, which ranks fourth.

Only if Arsenal scores no more than 5 points in the last five rounds, and Manchester City scores all the next 15 points, and achieves a sufficient goal difference, will it be possible to overtake Arsenal and enter the top four.

As for Liverpool with only 55 points and Villa with 53 points, after playing the same 33 rounds as Arsenal, they have already said goodbye to the top four in advance.

………………

The competition for tickets to the FA Cup final has come to an end, and the championship will not be decided until more than a month later, so everyone is turning their attention to the league to see how the top four teams will compete in the final battle.

The most disappointed people are undoubtedly the Manchester United fans, because they were tied by Blackburn in the away game and only reached 73 points. They were one point behind Chelsea with one more game. However, once the make-up game was played in midweek, Chelsea defeated Bolton would be four points behind. With only four games left in the game, this is basically equivalent to saying goodbye to the league title.

Sure enough, in the Premier League make-up match at 8 o'clock on Tuesday night, Chelsea defeated Bolton 1:0 at Stamford Bridge, steadily increasing their points to 77 points.

After Chelsea's victory, all the British attention turned to Tottenham and Arsenal.

The game between them is undoubtedly the most critical battle of this round. Neither Tottenham nor Arsenal can afford to lose this game.

For Tottenham, if they can win against the Gunners, they can still hold on to Chelsea in terms of points, and then wait for a decisive battle with Chelsea in the next round. If they win, they can seize the initiative in the championship.

Although the possibility of this situation is very small, it is still somewhat possible after all.

As for Arsenal, as long as they get past Tottenham, their last four opponents, except for Manchester City who are slightly stronger, the other Wigan, Fulham and Blackburn are similar to the point-giving boys.

So as long as they win Tottenham, in the following rounds, they only need to be themselves, score points steadily, and then wait for their competitors to make mistakes.

You know, their three competitors, whether it is Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham, will still have many tough battles in the future.

Among them, Chelsea's opponents in the last four games are Tottenham, Stoke City, Liverpool and Wigan. Manchester United's opponents are Manchester City, Tottenham, Sunderland and Stoke City, while Tottenham's opponents are Chelsea, Manchester United, Bolton, Manchester City and Burnley all have at least two strong opponents.

Among them, Tottenham's schedule is undoubtedly the most dangerous. After the game against Arsenal, they will also be ravaged by Chelsea and Manchester United in turn, and then Manchester City will be tested.

………………

Media reporters can analyze this kind of analysis, and professors can also analyze it.

Therefore, at the pre-match press conference, when Wenger was asked by a reporter whether Arsenal was out of the league title competition, Wenger became angry. He coldly answered the reporter: "Out? What are you talking nonsense! This year’s championship will definitely belong to Arsenal! We will defeat five opponents, including Tottenham, in the subsequent games, and finally win the Premier League championship!”

The reason why Wenger has the confidence to say this is that on the one hand, the schedules of several opponents are indeed unfavorable, and on the other hand, he has a trump card in his hand, which is Arsenal's ace striker Robin van Persie, who has experienced a long period of injury. After stopping, I finally recovered. Although Wenger did not include him in the starting lineup for this game, he has already entered the bench. Wenger intends to use him as his trump card to defeat Tottenham at White Hart Lane, completely crushing his rival's hope of winning the championship. Let yourself continue on the road to winning the championship.

The reporter immediately retorted: "The championship will definitely belong to Arsenal? Not necessarily, right? Even if you defeat Tottenham, Arsenal will only overtake Manchester United and Tottenham in the standings, and still be three points behind Chelsea. Are you? Do you expect Chelsea to make mistakes in the following games? Or, Mr. Wenger, do you expect Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham to all make mistakes?"

Being stared at and questioned by a reporter made the professor very unhappy. He said impatiently: "No matter who makes the mistake, Arsenal is not dead in this competition! We still have the possibility of winning the championship!"

………………

When Tottenham held a pre-match press conference, the reporter threw out Wenger's words and asked Tottenham what they thought about it.

This time, Lao Lei brought to the pre-match press conference, in addition to Dawson, who will serve as captain on the field in tomorrow's game, there is also Bell.

Because his position in the team is becoming more and more important, Bell plays an increasingly important role in the team. This is not the first time that Ray has brought Bell to Tottenham's pre-match and post-match press conferences.

Regarding this issue, neither Lao Lei nor Dawson said much, but said that Tottenham will fight with all their strength.

Because of the team's absolute disadvantage in playing against its mortal enemy, neither Dawson nor coach Lao Lei dared to say anything harsh.

However, Bell didn't care so much. This is not only because he has always performed well in games against Arsenal, but also because he has a trump card.

Because he scored twice in the game against Portsmouth and helped the team win, Bell won three more lottery chances.

This time Bell's character exploded, and he actually drew two Henry experience cards and one Giggs experience card. In addition to the two Henry experience cards he already had in his hand, Bell exchanged for a three-star Henry experience card.

Because his opponent was Henry in the next game, Bell thought it would be very interesting to use Henry's experience card to defeat Arsenal. Unexpectedly, Wenger said such a thing.

Therefore, when the reporter asked him, he sneered: "Mr. Wenger said Arsenal is not dead yet, so I will let Arsenal die tomorrow!"

Bell's words immediately excited the reporters at the scene. They liked to hear such words the most, which made it easier for them to stir up the topic.
