Chapter 126: Sense of Humiliation

On April 19, Arsenal came to Old Trafford again to face Manchester United.

Van Gaal's Manchester United played in a 4-1-4-1 formation and invested a lot of strength in the midfield.

On the other hand, Arsenal rotated Campbell and Walcott as substitutes based on the main lineup.

When the game came to the 86th minute, the score between the two sides came to 1:1.

Manchester United could not break through Arsenal's defense, and Campbell missed opportunities again and again, resulting in Arsenal's inability to expand the score.

"After entering the middle of this season, Campbell's performance became worse and worse. He was constantly wearing down Wenger's patience. Even though Wenger would give newcomers a lot of opportunities, Campbell's performance could be described as poor compared to the World Cup."

Throughout the game, Campbell was constantly wasting opportunities.

Lucky and Cazorla alone created three single-handed balls for him, but he kicked them crookedly.

This kind of "spitting cake" behavior not only caused Wenger's dissatisfaction, but even the two core points, Lukay and Cazorla, no longer trusted Campbell.

In a team, if the core point doubts and does not give enough support, then the striker basically loses his living space.

And Campbell's expression at this time was also extremely bitter.

He knew that his performance was very poor, but for some reason, he just felt that he played very awkwardly, and everything was wrong.

Recalling that at the beginning of the season, Campbell and Arsenal had a good run-in, but after entering the middle of the season, he could no longer adapt to the team's playing rhythm.

"Campbell fell behind!"

Wenger said calmly on the sidelines.

Compared with the outside world's description of Wenger's anger, he seemed particularly calm at this time.

Although Wenger did not tell the players, in his vision, the Champions League was still the main focus.

Therefore, it is enough to get a draw in this game, save as much energy as possible, and strive for a Champions League seat.

Of course, this is also to prepare for various possibilities of the Champions League.

"We still rely on Luis's goals." Patres also nodded.

Football is an 11-person project and a complex team competition.

In this team, everyone has different jobs and responsibilities, and they will also form a tacit understanding within the scope of their responsibilities.

For example, Suarez plays the role of offensive finisher and goal scorer in Arsenal.

Cazorla is a breakthrough point, frontcourt organization point, etc.

And Lucky is Arsenal's offensive and defensive conversion hub, the core of the team and the spiritual leader.

This is the current axis of Arsenal.

Suarez needs a rest, so he didn't play. Wenger hopes Campbell can play a role and support Arsenal's offensive end.

But this guy obviously misunderstood the meaning of "offensive end".

Wenger almost lost all his patience with a cannon and a side ball.

If nothing unexpected happens, Campbell will probably be loaned out again next season.

Old Trafford is very quiet

Manchester United fans have complicated expressions, and they seem to have lost their former passion.

Although they knew very well that this was their home court, they ‘only’ drew with Arsenal at home.

But they knew even more clearly that the current Arsenal was not the same as in the past, and they were no longer the Red Devils Manchester United during Ferguson’s time.

Therefore, facing a strong opponent, an opponent that might bring them defeat, they were actually very happy after reaching a draw.

And this happy emotion was condemning their hearts again and again.

We are Manchester United!

We are Manchester United, the treble winners!

Why would there be a happy emotion in the face of a home draw?

In the final analysis, before the game started, they felt that Manchester United had almost no chance of winning against Arsenal.

And this Arsenal was not complete.

They only got a draw when the main striker Suarez was exempt from the game.

And they were happy about it.

Shameful! ! ——

90 minutes had passed.

The referee’s whistle represented the end of the game.

In this Premier League round 33 game, Manchester United drew with Arsenal.

Arsenal also fell from second to third place because of this draw.

In the 33rd round, Chelsea came to the top of the Premier League standings.

Manchester City followed closely.

Arsenal is in third place.

Compared with other divisions where the ownership of the championship is becoming increasingly clear, the Premier League is still in chaos.

No one knows which team will win the championship until the end.

Mourinho's Chelsea!

Pellegrini's Manchester City!

Wenger's Arsenal!

These three favorite teams to win the championship are still competing with a very narrow gap.

Of course, compared with the first two teams, Arsenal still has the pressure of the Champions League, so it seems more difficult.

As for the FA Cup, Arsenal was eliminated early.

As Wenger said before, Arsenal no longer needs the FA Cup to brush its honors.

What they want is to create a new history!

In the locker room, Arsenal's players gathered together and were discussing something.

When Lucky approached, he heard the discussion topics of his teammates.

"I feel Bayern can beat Barcelona. Guardiola is too familiar with Barcelona. He taught the world how to beat Barcelona last season!"

"But Barcelona has Messi and Neymar, both of whom are still very capable. In the midfield, although Xavi's ability has begun to decline, Iniesta is still very good."

"But they lack scoring points. Judging from the current situation, Pedro cannot adapt to the playing rhythm of Messi and Neymar."

"Porto is finished. Juventus has the best chance of advancing."

"Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid, Ronaldo beats Atletico Madrid!"

Teammates are all talking about the Final Four, and it's obvious that they have brought themselves to the Final Four.

After all, in the entire quarter-finals, Arsenal had the largest point difference in the first leg.

They scored four goals, and they had enough confidence even if they went to the Parc des Princes.

Even with some conservative tactics, they could advance smoothly even if they conceded three goals.

Therefore, it is the clearest one in this group.

"Captain, who do you think the four teams that have advanced are?"

Cazorla turned around and asked.

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look.

Lucky said directly; "Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Arsenal and Juventus."

Di Maria nodded; "It's almost as good as our prediction."

Sanchez said; "None of these three teams are easy to play!"

Chamberlain nodded and said, "It would be best if we play Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona are locked in a fight, and we don't have to end up in the Champions League final and La Liga fighting like before."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

They have to admit that La Liga's performance in recent seasons has been really terrifying.

Not to mention Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid is even more of a troublemaker, especially when facing Premier League teams.

It can be said that, except for the two local big brothers, this little brother will beat anyone he catches.

Simeone's fierce Atletico Madrid is no joke.

Of course, there is basically no need to worry about this Champions League.

Atletico Madrid is likely to be eliminated in the quarter-finals, after all, their opponent is Real Madrid.

What if Atletico were still there?

That's even better!

This means that Real Madrid has been eliminated.

Between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, how to choose?

They felt that no one would choose to play Real Madrid.

Especially for Arsenal, they were kicked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid last season.

Soon, Wenger walked in and asked everyone to wash up and prepare to go back.

After Lucky finished rinsing and packing his things, Wilshere sat next to Lucky with his backpack slung across his body. He said with a solemn expression, "Don't you think it's a little too easy this season?"

Lucky turned around and looked doubtfully.

Wilshere pursed his lips and said, "That's how I feel. In the 2005-06 season, Arsenal reached the Champions League finals. At that time, they met Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, and then they faced Juventus and PSV. Liarelle, ultimately lost to Barcelona.”

"At that time, Arsenal stumbled a bit from the beginning of the group stage. Every game was fought hard and every game was difficult."

After a pause, Wilshere said; "But this season, we have won the group stage, played Basel in the quarter-finals, and played Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals. It can be said that they are basically in the lottery!"

Wilshere sighed; "It's so smooth that it's a bit unreal!"
