Chapter 145: League Cup Final

Juventus left London overnight after the game.

From the paparazzi and the photos taken by the media, it can be seen that neither Juventus coach Allegri nor their top star Cristiano Ronaldo looked particularly good.

From any angle, they were eliminated in the Champions League, which in itself shows that Juventus' investment and plan for this season have failed.

Of course, they can still fight again next season, but it depends on how they adjust.

As for Arsenal, after winning Juventus, they successfully reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Arsenal's progress in the Champions League has gone one step further, while also ensuring an unbeaten record, which has shocked the whole of Europe.

Before, many people predicted that in order to ensure an unbeaten record, Arsenal might eventually lead to the team's collapse in the second half of the season.

This is Mourinho's too face-saving move.

But the second half of the season has been approaching for more than a month, and after several games in the Champions League, Premier League, League Cup, and FA Cup, Arsenal has no intention of collapsing at all.

On the contrary, the more he plays, the better he is, and his state is even more frightening.

Such an Arsenal is frightening.

After all, in the next game, any team that wants to beat Arsenal needs to consider any Gunners who are in such a state.

In addition, Dembélai has also become a focal figure.

It has only been a month since he joined Arsenal, but his integration speed in Arsenal is amazing. This time he helped Arsenal beat Juventus. Dembélai's performance in this game can be said to be very good.

Based on this performance, the media and football commentators changed their tone towards Dembélai in an instant, and everyone loved to praise Dembélai.

In this environment, Dembélai's mood also became extremely beautiful.

The next morning, Dembélai got up early, opened the window, and took a deep breath.

"Sniff~~~ Huh~~~ The weather is so good!"

"Are you kidding?"

Suddenly, a voice came from the kitchen, and the agent came over with a scarf tied around his neck, stretched out half of his body through the window and looked at the sky.

The sky was pitch black, there was not a trace of wind, and the whole world was dull, like the calm before the storm.

Dembélai smiled and said, "I mean, my mood!"

The agent smiled and said, "After you arrived in London, you became more cheerful. Now I think it's a good thing to stay in London."

Hearing this, Dembélai did not speak.

The agent was also stunned for a moment.

It was a joke, but the other party did not laugh or refute, which was a bit wrong.

"Hey! Kid, you are not serious, are you?" The agent said in astonishment.

Dembélai said with a headache; "I haven't thought about it yet, my mind is very messy, I want to go back to prove myself, but at the same time playing football here makes me feel happy, and it can make me better!"

The agent was silent.

He could see the changes in Dembélai after coming to London.

It can be said that Dembélai was a depressed genius in Barcelona, ​​but here, he bloomed his own light.

So, Dembélai's stay in Arsenal was not something he had not thought about.

But this is not something they can just think about. It's not a business to take the initiative. He knows this.

"Don't think about this problem for now!" Dembele waved his hand and said seriously: "The most important thing now is the second championship!"

The agent also nodded; "The final of the English League Cup will be in a week. Time flies! Arsenal may usher in their second championship. If they win this championship, then Arsenal this season will be unstoppable!"

Dembele nodded enthusiastically.

In the morning, London began to rain heavily.

The sudden rainstorm disrupted Arsenal's training plan, and Mourinho had to adjust the training to indoors.

Most of the indoor training is strength and balance training.

Due to limited space, there will be no training matches.

But if I still want to mention it, there is also an indoor small five-a-side court inside the Arsenal training base.

But for most Arsenal players, this day is for recuperation.

"Manchester City is not easy to deal with!"

Wilshere shook his head and sighed.

"Our striker is not bad! As long as we hold the defense!" Lekai wiped the sweat off his face and looked confident.

This season, although Arsenal is far ahead in the standings, Manchester City is constantly catching up with Arsenal.

But due to any defeat of Arsenal, this score can't be shortened.

But after entering the second half of the season, Manchester City's offensive firepower is jaw-dropping.

In just one week, Manchester City scored 14 goals in the league and the Champions League.

Two massacres were completed in a single week.

And this is based on Manchester City's crazy firepower now.

So far, Manchester City has led the entire Premier League scoring list with 45 goals, averaging 2 goals per game. This firepower venting ability is simply terrifying.

And if you want to face such a Manchester City, you must first block their striker.

Arsenal's defensive ability is very strong, but it is also uncertain whether Guardiola's passing and control against Manchester City can work.

So, the League Cup final a week later became the focus.

In the latest warm-up poster released on Sky Sports.

Mourinho holds a long shield and Guardiola holds a spear.

Behind the two are the team logos of the two teams.

These two head coaches have given tactical systems to two different teams, so they and the teams they lead have become the focus of this game.

And in the battle for the league championship last season, Arsenal won Manchester City by a slight advantage and won the league championship trophy.

This is also a score that Manchester City wants to settle with Arsenal!

In addition, Manchester City wants to give Arsenal a heavy blow through this game, not only blocking their championship road, but also destroying their unbeaten legend, indirectly affecting their status in the league.

For this reason, for the ambitious Guardiola and Manchester City, they must win this game.

Otherwise, if Arsenal continues to maintain this state, then the situation will become worse for them.

Both sides have reasons to win, so the significance of this League Cup becomes more important, and the game situation will be more intense.

March 2, the 29th round of the Premier League.

Bournemouth vs. Manchester City.

At the 78th minute, Manchester City, playing away, is already 4:1 ahead of the opponent.

Shooters such as Aguero, Sterling, and Mahrez have all made achievements, unfolding their rich and diverse systems, while also ensuring the status of the shooters.

Perhaps it is because the big game is approaching, and the Manchester City players are particularly excited.

"Manchester City once again demonstrated its suffocating offensive pressure in this game. Manchester City, coached by Guardiola, has become the most offensive team in the Premier League. Under their crazy artillery venting, no one can resist Manchester City's offensive pace!"

As soon as the voice fell, De Bruyne made a cross, Aguero jumped into the air, volleyed, and scored again.

The score came to 5:1.

"Goal!

Aguero helped Manchester City expand the score! This also shows their excellent state before the game!"

"Obviously, Manchester City wants to use this state to teach Arsenal a lesson in the final of the League Cup!"

On the other side, Arsenal vs. Tottenham Hotspur, playing at home.

In this second round of the North London Derby, there was a breathtaking stability.

The score showed that Arsenal was 1:0 Tottenham.

But the score was not the key, but Arsenal's performance throughout the game, their stability and defense, which made Tottenham players extremely passive.

Tottenham's performance this season cannot be said to be bad. Although Harry Kane still failed to return to the team, Tottenham should not be underestimated.

But even so, Tottenham's attack was easily resolved by Arsenal, and Arsenal locked the victory of the game with only one goal.

Until the 90th minute, the final whistle sounded.

Tottenham players had to admit that they had lost all four games against Arsenal this season.

This also made the morale of Tottenham fans and players decline again.

On the other hand, after winning this game, Arsenal players were extremely condensed in morale.

The honor they are about to challenge in the next stop is the League Cup champion.

And their opponent is Manchester City!
