Chapter 187: Winning the Championship

"Both players are actively warming up. They know what this game means. It can be seen from their expressions that both Arsenal and Manchester City are under great pressure!"

There was a sense of tension in the commentator's words. Even though the game had not started, the tit-for-tat feeling had already spread.

Arsenal fans cheered for the Gunners, while Manchester City players were left with waves of boos.

They are trying to influence these players as much as possible.

Soon, the warm-up session ended and the players returned to the locker room.

When entering the player tunnel, fans on both sides continued to encourage the players.

"Giroud! You are our top scorer, show your performance!"

Giroud gave the fan a thumbs up.

"Kante, I leave the defense to you! Your performance has always made us feel reassured!"

"Hummels! Up, up, up! Kill them!"

"Jimenez"

Almost every Arsenal player was singled out for encouragement by Arsenal fans.

They can also feel the huge tension in the hearts of the fans.

After returning to the locker room, Mourinho didn't say much. Instead, he let the players prepare individually after emphasizing tactics again.

After Lucky finished dressing, he walked to the middle.

Bang bang bang!

Lucky clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

Everyone put down what they were doing and looked at Lucky.

Lucky stood in the middle, looking around.

At this moment, all of them, whether they are players or coaches, are showing some anxiety.

"I don’t think I need to emphasize what this game represents. What I want to say is that when you came back just now, you have also felt the enthusiasm of the fans."

"Our head coach has not talked too much about these things during this period, in order to reduce the pressure on you, yes! Too much pressure will crush people, but appropriate pressure is necessary."

"I want to put some pressure on you"

Lucai breathed out slowly and said: "Championship is never easy. After 37 rounds, we thought that our performance was very outstanding, but we still failed to win the championship in advance. But it is precisely because of this process that the championship can be won." It will become precious!”

"You have seen the Emirates Stadium today, you have felt the atmosphere, the passionate fans, they are all looking forward to the championship!"

"This is London! This is the Emirates Stadium! This is our home ground!"

"Losing the championship here is something we cannot accept. Although Manchester City is strong, they are not completely without weaknesses!"

Lucky pointed at his temples and said: "Remain absolutely focused. The moment the whistle blows, you must quickly enter the game state! Our state is not particularly good, so we need more unity and mutual help. Anyone's laziness will be punished. Magnify infinitely!”

"Spread your legs, open your mouths, run! Communicate! We have only one goal in this game! That is to win the game! Then"

Lucky puffed up his chest and said with a fierce look on his face: "Watch the championship! Do you understand?!

"

"clear!

! "

The Arsenal players all roared.

Lucky turned to the dressing room and roared; "Now! Get ready to fight!"

Roar!

!

!

!

!

! ——

The gunmen shouted loudly one by one, and immediately followed Lucky's pace.

The coaches were already standing on both sides of the door, high-fiving every Arsenal player to give them their final encouragement.

After the players left, Arteta looked at Mourinho and said, "Don't you say something?"

"No need!" Mourinho shook his head and said: "Kay has already said what needs to be said, there is no need for me to emphasize it again, and the momentum now is very good."

Arteta also nodded.

"I wonder what Manchester City's starting lineup is like?"

Mourinho: "No matter what the lineup is, we just need to ensure our rhythm. As long as we can stabilize the situation, Manchester City will not be able to break through our defense."

After that, the two of them walked out of the locker room and headed to the arena.

Mourinho and Guardiola walked out of the tunnel.

The two looked at each other, walked toward each other, and completed the handshake.

The commentator Andy Gray watched this scene and was also filled with sighs.

"Mourinho and Guardiola, these two famous coaches who once led the Galacticos and the Dream Dynasty of an era, once completed their control in La Liga, and now their battlefield has extended to the Premier League!"

"Whether it is Mourinho or Guardiola, these two are undoubtedly outstanding head coaches. They have always been active in the top European competitions and have achieved impressive results."

"Just like Manchester City and Arsenal this season, they polish the team in their own way and help the players develop their own abilities and characteristics!"

"This is also the reason why these two teams have historically exceeded 100 points in the Premier League!"

"What lineup arrangements did these two coaches come up with for this game?"

At this time, the camera came to the player tunnel again.

This time, players from both sides were already standing on both sides of the tunnel, preparing for the final entrance.

However, compared to Arsenal's stereotypical standing in a row, Manchester City gathered in a group and chatted before the game.

Guardiola's Manchester City also emphasizes discipline, but it will not do so to the extent of Arsenal.

Manchester City's discipline is slightly looser, while Arsenal's discipline is top-notch in the entire football world.

However, Manchester City players did not chat for long, and soon the referee signaled them to line up and prepare to enter the field.

About 2 minutes later, the referee held the match ball in his hand and called the players from both sides to enter the field.

At this moment, the whole venue was instantly boiling.

Amid the overwhelming cheers of tens of thousands of Arsenal fans, the players from both sides passed through the arch and stood in a row on both sides of the stadium.

"The players from both sides have completed their entry. With the background music of the Premier League theme song, the players from both sides will perform the final opening ceremony!"

The theme song of the Premier League this season is "Full Song".

The melody of the song is just so-so. For Lekai, he still thinks that the Premier League theme song "Fire" in the 2010-2011 season is better.

His head was a little confused, and Lekai shook his head slightly.

At this time, he saw that the staff had placed the championship trophy and the podium directly in front of the entrance of the player tunnel.

Although it was a bare trophy without tracks, it still made the players on both sides stare at it.

Especially the Arsenal players, compared with Manchester City, which won the Premier League title last season, they were more eager for this championship.

The appearance of the trophy immediately aroused the passion of the players on both sides.

Soon, the backs ended vaguely, and after the players of both sides shook hands, the captain was called to the referee to choose the side.

Lucky's good luck worked and won the right to choose the side.

Lucky decisively took the ball.

After waiting for Manchester City to choose the side, Arsenal automatically became the other side.

At this time, the starting list of the double reverse also appeared on the big screen.

Arsenal (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Martinez.

Defenders: Monreal, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.

Midfielders: Kante, Xhaka, Lucky.

Forwards: Aubameyang, Giroud, Mane.

Manchester City (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Morais.

Defenders: Kyle Walker, Laporte, Otamendi, Danilo.

Midfielders: David Silva, Gundogan, De Bruyne.

Forwards: Sane, Aguero, Bernardo Silva.

The lineups of both teams give people a solid feeling.

With the championship in front, Mourinho and Guardiola have become unusually honest and have not adopted any fancy tactics.

Guardiola has even abandoned the three-back tactic that was very common before, and honestly put out four defenders.

Obviously, he is also afraid of Arsenal's ability to restrain the three defenders.

So far, no club that put out three defenders in front of Arsenal has had a good ending.

Although Guardiola is still very confident in his three-back tactics, facing the midfield sweeping combination of Lukay + Kante, once the opponent completes interception or steals in the midfield, Manchester City's defense will be broken in an instant.

Therefore, Guardiola still honestly chose the four-back tactics.

After all, for Manchester City, they are currently leading by two points.

Even if it is a draw, they can accept it.

Of course, they are here with the mentality of winning.

To put it bluntly, it is a sentence.

Maintain a draw and strive for victory!
