Chapter 80 This Leads to Wembley Stadium

The training is still going on in an orderly manner. Because we are entering the second half of the schedule, the intensity of the training has decreased. This is to better maintain the state of the game and the recovery of physical strength.

In addition to training, the players will also have some exchanges about the event.

"The points gap is not widening! Liverpool and Manchester City are so annoying!"

Giroud said a little irritably.

Unlike last season, Arsenal does not have such a big advantage in league points this season. So far, they are still tied with Liverpool in points, and Manchester City is only two points behind.

It can be said that in this case, Arsenal is still under great pressure in the league.

The gap in points cannot be widened, which means that there is a danger of overturning at any time.

Any loss may make them directly become the third place.

The best situation at present is that Liverpool and Manchester City lose in succession and widen a certain point gap, even if it is three points, so that they can give them a chance to breathe.

It is really uncomfortable to be bitten by two teams like this.

"This is not the first time you play in the Premier League. We are under pressure now, and Liverpool and Manchester City are also under pressure. Now it depends on who can withstand the pressure and keep winning!"

Eriksson said.

Giroud: "But we still have the Champions League, the League Cup and the FA Cup. Are there any events that need to be sacrificed? Liverpool and Manchester City will definitely sacrifice the FA Cup. They want the league or the Champions League!"

"Our bench can also help us share some of the pressure. Don't think too much about these problems. Thinking too much will affect your state!"

Lekai advised.

Giroud could only nod.

But from his expression, he was still extremely anxious.

In fact, this emotion has spread in the Arsenal team. Although many players seem to be indifferent, they may be very anxious in their hearts.

They know that winning the championship is never an easy thing.

What's more, their goal this season is so grand.

Although this season, Arsenal has never revealed their goals to the outside world.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are going for all the championships.

At present, Arsenal can compete for seven championships, and now they have won three, leaving four.

Carabao Cup, FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League!

The pressure of the first two events is less, but based on the addition of the last two events, the overall pressure is still very high.

At the same time, the coaching staff is also talking about the next game.

"The next game is the Carabao Cup final!"

Mourinho's tone is very serious.

Their opponents in the Carabao Cup are the same as last season. Manchester City led by Guardiola once again became their opponents on the road to winning the championship.

Arsenal's unbeaten record was broken by Manchester City, so Arsenal needs revenge on Manchester City.

For Manchester City, they will not give up the opportunity to beat Arsenal.

And both teams have reached the Carabao Cup final, which makes it even more impossible to give up.

No matter how small the mosquito meat is, it is also meat!

Manchester City spent a season without a championship last season, so this season they are extremely eager for a championship, any championship.

As for Arsenal, they must defeat Manchester City again.

"I think we should not just defend when facing Manchester City. The last failure was because of this problem. We failed to withstand Manchester City's offensive firepower. This is a problem that the inherent defensive mode cannot solve. Manchester City is very good at finding opportunities to break through in a small space and create goals at the same time."

"So, we may need more attacks to create pressure on Manchester City in the process of pressing forward, so that they dare not press forward recklessly."

Arteta made a suggestion.

Mourinho also pondered over this suggestion.

After several seasons of partnership, Arteta has become a very good assistant coach.

This excellence is not only reflected in training, but also in some tactical opinions.

The times are progressing, and tactics must also change constantly.

Mourinho understands that he needs some more suggestions to promote his tactical innovation.

And Arteta has become a good source of inspiration.

Attack instead of defense, this mode, Mourinho has played before.

He is not a conservative person. Although he likes to use defensive counterattack tactics, the reason is that everything must serve victory.

If he can win, he can come up with an offensive tactical style.

As long as he can win, he will not suggest so-called tactical issues.

Arteta's suggestion is really good. After all, the last failure has proved that pure defense cannot limit Manchester City.

Manchester City must be put under pressure, high-position pressing, midfield rhythm competition, ball possession competition, etc.

Arsenal must play more actively and make Manchester City feel more threatened.

In this way, they can suppress Manchester City's fierce firepower.

Soon, Mourinho called the coaches to start a tactical meeting.

They have to decide the specific tactics for the League Cup semi-finals, and the players will be engaged in the rehearsal of the new tactics the next day.

The next day, Arsenal began to practice the new tactics.

The first step is to gather the players in the tactical room and start explaining the new tactics.

"Kai, your task in this game is not just defense, you have to move forward frequently, not only to press, but also to organize the connection! I will not limit your area, you can pull the space horizontally to run in a large range"

Lekai nodded slightly after listening to Mourinho's tactics.

He is not unfamiliar with this tactic. When Wenger was coaching, Lekai played in this way.

Absolute core, absolute possession of the ball, etc.

This is equivalent to releasing all restrictions on Lekai, so that he is no longer restricted to a certain area. Although there will be a risk of losing position, it also greatly increases Arsenal's control in the midfield and the advancement of the offense.

This time, Mourinho boldly changed his tactical style.

He knew very well that Manchester City knew them very well. For this reason, general tactics really didn't work. They could only make bigger changes to suppress Manchester City.

At the same time, Manchester City was also practicing tactics against Arsenal.

However, after a successful experience, Manchester City also restricted Arsenal based on this set of tactics.

After all, this set of tactics is still the most useful at present.

At this time, Manchester City's players were also in high spirits.

Since they beat Arsenal, the frustration and haze in their hearts disappeared, and their fear of Arsenal was gone.

They believed that they would perform better in the final of the English League Cup.

And in this atmosphere, the final of the English League Cup is approaching.

On February 25, still at the Wembley Stadium in London, the 2019/2020 English League Cup final is about to take place.

On this day, a large number of Arsenal and Manchester City fans came.

These are all fans who want to witness the moment when the team wins the championship.

Especially for Manchester City fans, after a season without a championship, their desire for the championship is extremely hot.

For this reason, they will not miss this opportunity.

In addition, they have beaten Arsenal before, so they think this victory also belongs to Manchester City.

As for Arsenal fans, they are still full of confidence.

Arsenal's performance is obvious to all. Although they lost to Manchester City, they only lost to Manchester City.

That defeat was an accident!

That’s what Arsenal thinks.

If the game is repeated, Arsenal will not lose.

This is the fans’ strong confidence in the home team.

After all, Arsenal’s main players are returning one after another, and their lineup has become stronger.

Although Manchester City is a very dangerous opponent, Arsenal is stronger.

The London Bridge leading to Wembley Stadium has been lit up.

On the LED screen at the exit, it is printed with ‘Here leads to Wembley Stadium! ’, and the words ‘Arsenal VS Manchester City’ are falling.

The sound of vehicle horns, the cheers of fans, and the songs resounding through the sky around.

All of this makes tonight extremely hot.

Although London has entered winter, a sense of heat can be felt throughout the entire Wembley Stadium.

This is the atmosphere created by the heat emitted by tens of thousands of people shouting.

This is Wembley Stadium!

This is the stage for the League Cup final!
