Chapter 117 All for the championship, all for victory

at the post-match press conference.

Everyone could see Ferguson's depression.

A reporter asked him how he felt about being beaten twice by Arsenal in the season, losing to Arsenal at home, resulting in the points being tied, and the goal difference being four goals behind.

Ferguson replied rudely: "The goal difference advantage of four goals seems like a lot, but I hope they can win two consecutive league games in the last two rounds."

"Championship? Of course we haven't given up the fight yet, but so what if Arsenal wins the championship, we have 12 Premier League championships!"

On Wenger's side, his response was: "I don't care about the past, I only care about this season. We have indeed got the initiative to compete for the championship, but this does not mean that we can celebrate the championship. There are still two final rounds. League, we must play well in these two games to ensure our championship!”

The game is over.

The rivalry between the two sides is not over.

A war of words ensued between coaches, players and fans of both sides.

This scene makes many old fans feel like they are dreaming back to the 1990s.

It seems that Chelsea and Manchester City, who have risen in the Premier League in the past ten years, have become invisible this season.

However, some media pointed out.

The Premier League environment is different now.

Next season, it is not certain whether Manchester United and Arsenal will compete for the championship.

After all, Chelsea and Manchester City both have very strong cash flow capabilities.

The key is that Ferguson is likely to retire at the end of this season.

And Arsenal may not have much money to strengthen next season.

Therefore, it is unlikely to recreate the period of intense rivalry between Manchester United and Arsenal.

But at least this season, the confrontational mood between the fans of both sides has been unprecedentedly tense.

After the game.

The media covered the game with great fanfare.

In addition to Arsenal overtaking Manchester United and reaching the top of the standings.

The media also highlighted another incident.

Before facing Manchester United, Li Mo scored 29 league goals.

In this game at Manchester United, he broke out and scored four goals.

This brings his goal tally to 33 goals.

What is the concept?

This is the third-highest number of goals scored in a single season in Premier League history.

It is second only to the record of 34 goals in a single season jointly held by the Premier League single-season goal record holders Alan Shearer and Andy Cole.

Ranked fourth is Ronaldo's 31 goals. Robin van Persie scored 30 goals in a single season last season, ranking fifth.

There are still two rounds left in the Premier League this season.

This also means that Li Mo has a great chance to equal or even surpass the records of Alan Shearer and Andy Cole.

"Sky Sports" wrote in the post-match report: "Li Mo scored 33 league goals in his first Premier League season and first professional league season. If he can score in the last two If he scores two or more goals in the Premier League, he can tie Alan Shearer's record."

"In the last two rounds of the league, it will not be easy for Arsenal, because both Wigan Athletic and Newcastle still have a lot of relegation pressure!"

It's not just Sky Sports who thinks so.

In Manchester.

"Manchester Evening News" analyzed the final two rounds of the Premier League: "Although Manchester United is four goals behind, they have the opportunity not to consider the goal difference. They only need to play well in the last two rounds. League, and then just wait for Wigan Athletic and Newcastle, two crazy dogs who are fighting for relegation, to cause trouble for Arsenal! The competition in the Premier League relegation zone this season is unprecedentedly fierce!”

Indeed, if you shift your focus from the championship area to the relegation area, you will find that the two-man game in the championship area is not as lively as the relegation area.

Now 36 rounds of the league have been played.

Except for Reading, who only scored 25 points and only scored 26 points, who are definitely relegated.

The last relegation spot is likely to be generated among the 8 teams.

The first to bear the brunt is Wigan Athletic, currently ranked 18th, with only 35 points.

Above them are four teams with 38 points.

They are Newcastle, Norwich, Sunderland, Southampton and Fulham.

In addition, Aston Villa with 39 points, Stoke City with 40 points, and West Ham United with 41 points are also at risk of relegation.

However, the fiercest competition is still concentrated among the six teams: Wigan Athletic, Newcastle, Norwich, Sunderland, South Upton and Fulham.

exactly

Wigan Athletic and Newcastle are Arsenal's opponents in the last two rounds.

Final two rounds.

Who can achieve the great escape is very interesting to watch.

And what about Manchester United?

Their opponents Swansea and West Bromwich Albion have nothing to ask for.

In terms of the schedule, Manchester United can indeed look forward to Arsenal being torn off a piece of flesh by the relegation team in the last two rounds.

This possibility is not a low-probability event!

It will not be easy for any team to encounter a team that is fighting for survival.

But the good news for Arsenal is that they can have sufficient rest time in the next two rounds of the league.

The bad news is that Cazorla was injured after the game against Manchester United. He suffered a muscle strain and will need at least four weeks to recover.

This also means that Cazorla bid farewell to the league this season early.

Also "retired for the season" is Diaby.

As a result, Arsenal's two top midfielders, one offensive and one defensive, were both reimbursed for the season and missed the last two key rounds of the championship.

This really cast a shadow over Arsenal's final two rounds.

But there is at least one good news for Arsenal: they are repairing and preparing for the next round of the league.

Their opponents in the next round of the league will have a crucial battle three days after the end of the 36th round of the league: the FA Cup final.

Wigan Athletic reached the FA Cup final this season.

Although their opponent is Manchester City, although Wigan Athletic is under great pressure to avoid relegation.

But the opportunity to win the first major championship trophy in team history is right in front of us.

How could Wigan Athletic’s Spanish coach Martinez give up?

Therefore, in this FA Cup final, Wigan Athletic will definitely fight with all its main players.

Putting aside whether they can win or not, Arsenal doesn't care who wins the FA Cup this season anyway, but one thing is certain: Wigan Athletic will be greatly consumed.

Therefore, in the thirty-sixth round, Wenger was actually not too worried.

What he was thinking about was the last two rounds. With Cazorla absent and Wilshere determined not to make it to the 36th round, how would he play?

Who will take over the offense?

Both Arteta and Ramsey can play as attacking midfielders, but Wenger turned his attention to Li Mo.

Against opponents like Wigan Athletic, Wenger plans to reintroduce a two-center formation.

Li Mo and Giroud partnered.

Giroud is in front and Li Mo is in the back. In this case

Part of the excessive work of offensive organization can be completed by Li Mo.

"Maybe he wants to score more goals?"

Balder said.

"His position may not prevent him from scoring goals. What's more important is that maybe Martinez is the same as you think."

Wenger said.

"He is very powerful, we can trust him completely, and we can only trust him now!"

Wenger now puts all his treasure on Li Mo.

By the end of the season.

Fatigue and injuries are problems that every team must face.

And now comes the moment when you need to grit your teeth and endure.

The first name that came to Wenger's mind was Li Mo.

At Old Trafford, the scene of Li Mo roaring at his teammates and gathering everyone together to encourage everyone once again appeared in Wenger's mind.

"It's time for him to take on more."

Wenger suppressed his urge to put the captain's armband on Li Mo.

Arsenal's captain's armband has been poisonous over the years.

After deciding to let Li Mo take on part of the work at the 10th position.

Wenger had a private conversation with Li Mo.

Li Mo has no objection to this.

He knew that now was the critical moment, and the most taboo thing was to think too much.

Of course he also hopes that he can break the record, but compared to the record, the league championship is more important.

Between records and league championships, of course the league championship must be chosen first.

not to mention.

Li Mo's deeper retreat is not without scoring goals - he is still the team's top attacker.

It's just that he has more power to control the ball - he will have more ball rights, and at the same time, he will also have to make more choices on the court.

Pass or shoot.

In his mind.

The reason why Wenger has so much confidence in Li Mo.

Naturally, it was because he watched Li Mo grow up.

He believed that Li Mo had such ability.

And if Li Mo can retreat deeper and fully participate in the team's operation, it will be of great benefit to himself.

Li Mo can certainly be a pure scorer.

But Wenger feels that Li Mo can actually become the absolute core of the team, the kind who can control most of the ball from his feet.

at the pre-match press conference.

Martinez, who had just led Wigan Athletic to defeat Manchester City and win the first major championship trophy in the team's history, seemed very confident.

"Of course we know Arsenal is strong, but we need points to avoid relegation. We don't care who the champion is, we are fighting for our own destiny!"

Although the FA Cup final was very taxing on Wigan Athletic.

But on the other hand, winning the FA Cup is also a great stimulus for Wigan Athletic.

Under this huge mental stimulation, Wigan Athletic may be able to burst out with stronger combat effectiveness in the away game.

Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger also expressed the team's confidence.

"At this stage of the season, I have nothing to say. The team that wins the game will win the championship. I think our players also know this and we will give our best in the game."

"Will Li Mo tie or even break the record held by Alan Shearer in this round of the league?"

A reporter stood up and asked.

Wenger said calmly: "Maybe, maybe not, it's not important. What's important is the team's victory. Lee is our important player and our scorer. Of course he has a chance to break the record, but we won't." To force this, the most important thing is the league championship!”

It's not just Wenger who stresses this.

Li Mo also said this in an interview with the media: "I won't think about records now. All personal records must give way to the team's victory. Before the league championship is guaranteed, all our goals , it’s all about winning!”
