My light shines on Arsenal

Chapter 199 Five rounds to the end
April 30th, the third round of Premier League No. [-].

Third-ranked Arsenal host No. 14-ranked Norwich City.

After two fierce battles with Chelsea, Arsenal made a rotation at the Emirates Stadium, with Jorginho, Verratti, Aubameyang, Zaha, Carvajal and other players returning to the court.

Norwich City seemed to have no desire at the Emirates Stadium.

They are currently ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the league. It is neither possible to move up to the European competition, nor to fall into the bottom two and be relegated to the English Championship.

Therefore, such a team is the most popular opponent in the second half of the league.

Norwich played an exhibition match on the road for 10 and [-] minutes without any desire. The atmosphere on the court was very friendly, and the scale of physical confrontation between the two teams was controlled within a reasonable range.

Norwich coach Chris Hughton didn't even stand up. He sat in a comfortable seat at the Emirates Stadium, watching his disciples play in a regular manner on the field. He would only get up when he couldn't stand it any longer. Say a few words.

In the 21st minute, Arsenal opened Norwich's defense.

Marco Verratti made continuous strong drives, and Norwich players gave up their pursuit of Verratti after failing to block it.

Verratti drove straight into the middle, and Aubameyang succeeded in countering offside. He passed through Norwich's messy back line and scored with his right foot.

Norwich's players looked at each other, but they didn't feel too frustrated.

They don't have many pursuits, and staying in the Premier League is Norwich's biggest desire.

As the Premier League broadcast rights are about to be re-sold in the next few seasons, the broadcast fees that Premier League teams can obtain will rise. For teams with small investment, these bonuses and broadcast fees will make them make a lot of money. .

After that, Arsenal's players played more and more relaxedly, and Norwich's players also played more and more relaxedly. Arsenal scored two goals in the following games, and Norwich also scored one. A goal.

Both sides gave each other's players ample opportunities, and the final score was three to one.

Chen Yao shook hands with Chris Hughton with a cheerful face, and Hughton didn't have much frustration on his face. The scenery of the Emirates Stadium left a deep impression on him, and the team's unwavering ranking in the leaderboard also made Chris Hughton... Hughton's slightly gloomy mood due to the loss quickly turned from gloomy to sunny.

"I wish you good luck, you have done a great job. I will watch the Europa League final." Hughton shook hands and said friendly greetings.

Arsenal's position in the table remains unchanged.They are currently ranked third in the league, with Chelsea ranked fourth and Tottenham Hotspur ranked fifth.

The points between the two teams are very tight, but Benitez's team and Villas-Boas' team have one thing in common, that is, they have both been hurt by Chen Yao and Arsenal.

The two teams in Manchester are even more entangled. Manchester United is temporarily ranked first and Manchester City is ranked second.

In the second round of No. 30, Manchester City defeated Manchester United [-]-[-], narrowing the point difference between the two teams.

No. 30 In the three rounds of the league, Manchester United defeated Stoke City [-]-[-], and Manchester City defeated West Bromwich Albion [-]-[-]. The victory or defeat of the two teams will be decided in the last five rounds of the league.

The most threatening opponent that Manchester United can face in the remaining five league rounds is Arsenal, while the most powerful opponent that Manchester City can face is Tottenham Hotspur.

This pair of enemies in North London have invisibly become the two teams that will decide who will win the Premier League title this season.

……

On April 30, Arsenal played against Fulham away from home, and the Premier League entered the fourth round of No. [-].

Manchester United plays Aston Villa and Manchester City plays Tottenham Hotspur.

Chen Yao is also paying attention to these two games. To be fair, he hopes that his team will eventually win the championship, but Arsenal's ups and downs in form have caused them to be left behind by the Manchester duo.

At least this season, the Premier League title will still be decided between Manchester United and Manchester City.Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur were tied at [-]-[-]. Tottenham was not an easy opponent, and Villas-Boas was working hard to break into the top four.

Manchester City's performance this season is not as stable as last season. Last season's countdown to win the championship seems to have made many Manchester City players complacent that "this one time will be good." They have not shown that kind of passion and resilience this season.

The final result of the game was that Manchester United defeated Aston Villa [-]-[-]. Robin Van Persie scored two goals to help Manchester United win.

This name has not appeared in Arsenal's camp for a long time, but the Dutch forward's performance at Manchester United is still considered the top in the Premier League.

This season, Van Persie continues to maintain a very high scoring efficiency. Without his outstanding performance, Manchester United may gradually fall behind in the middle of the season.

At this time, Manchester United was no longer the United in their heyday, and Sir Alex Ferguson was trying to tap into the full potential of this team.

He doesn't know if Manchester United can maintain such competitiveness after he retires, and he doesn't know what level the successor coach can take the team to.

But Ferguson at least hopes that when he is still the head coach of Manchester United, he can bid farewell to himself with a Premier League championship.

And, it better be this season.

……

Carrington Training Base.

Manchester United assistant coach Mike Phelan shouted at the players on the pitch and glanced at Sir Alex Ferguson from the corner of his eye.

The grizzled Scot stood on the sidelines like a statue.

Ferguson is 71 years old.

In Mike Phelan's impression, the old coach who had absolute say at Carrington and Old Trafford used to be a person who loved to turn on a hair dryer.

Although in front of the media, Ferguson would not hesitate to protect his disciples and would not refuse to show some Sir Alex Ferguson's demeanor, but off the court, on the training ground and in the locker room, he had strict requirements and expectations for his players. The ruthless side.

But that situation is becoming less and less common in Mike Phelan's eyes.

After being promoted to Ferguson's chief assistant coach in 2010, Phelan accompanied Ferguson for two seasons, and he knew that this might be his last season.

There was a commotion on the field, and Mike Phelan saw the whole process. Wayne Rooney sent an extremely imaginative pass to Robin Van Persie, who easily fired the ball into the blind corner.

"Can you imagine us having a striker like that, Mike?"

Ferguson's voice came from behind, and Mike Phelan turned back respectfully, "Mr. Ferguson, Robin is the best striker in this league. You made the right decision to buy him last summer."

"I know we spent a little more money on him... but it was worth it." Ferguson muttered. "It took a lot of effort to integrate Robin into our team. Our midfield can't even keep up with him." Movements and ideas.”

"We paid a lot of money in order to bring out Robin's strength." Mike Phelan said, "Our state has been up and down for a while, and it has only picked up recently... We are still five points ahead of Manchester City. In the last five rounds, we There’s a good chance of winning the championship.”

"Mike, you are right, but it is worth paying a few points for Robin. This is a player who can raise our lower limit." Ferguson's voice was a little desolate, "I am old, and I have no chance to build another team." A team that has broken through the ceiling... What I need is a championship, just this season."

"Then it's time for us to exert our strength in the last five rounds. Mr. Ferguson."

　I went to the midterm exam a few days ago. .
