Chapter 178: One Victory Away From the Championship

In the second half, Arsenal used the goal in the first half to start stable defense and ball control.

This made Crystal Palace, which was already at a disadvantage, play even more uncomfortably.

Even the home fans became depressed, and they knew that it was very difficult to make up for some of the losses at this time.

With Crystal Palace's current forward line, it was even more difficult to knock on Arsenal's goal, especially after all the players retreated.

The game time passed little by little, and it had entered the injury time without knowing it.

"Crystal Palace still failed to get an effective counterattack and attack on the field. When they faced Arsenal's defense, they wanted to score a goal, but they were dragged down by the defense!"

Yes!

Crystal Palace was very conflicted at this time. They didn't want to lose the ball again, but they also wanted to score.

For this reason, the offense could not go up, and the defense could not be played.

In the end, under Arsenal's deliberate guidance, the situation was deadlocked.

The injury time was three minutes, not too long.

But it made Crystal Palace feel extremely uncomfortable, while Arsenal had already started to control the ball and kill time.

They couldn't waste too much energy here. After gaining the advantage, all Arsenal needed to do was to stabilize the situation.

For this reason, when the 90-minute game ended, Crystal Palace lost the game to Arsenal 0:1.

And Arsenal also successfully won the 35th round.

"Let us congratulate Arsenal! They have won 35 rounds, and they are only one round away from the championship!"

"Currently in the standings, Arsenal is still seven points ahead of Manchester City. They only need to win the next game, so even if they lose the last two rounds, the championship trophy still belongs to Arsenal!"

"For Manchester City, their situation is extremely passive. They can only pray that Leicester City can create a miracle again and beat Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium!"

Paul Merson smiled.

Arsenal's outstanding performance made him feel extremely happy. After all, he was from Arsenal, so he has always paid attention to and supported this team.

Now, Arsenal is about to enter the hall of champions with an unbeaten record, which makes them extremely excited.

"At present, Arsenal has won 35 rounds of unbeaten records in the league!"

"No, no, no!" Dixon waved his hand and added; "Not 35 rounds, if you count the 5 rounds of last season, then Arsenal has been unbeaten for 40 rounds!"

Speaking of this, Dixon was also excited and said: "The professor created the myth of 49 unbeaten games, and now Arsenal has once again won 40 rounds of unbeaten. They are close to this record again. We have reason to believe that with Arsenal's performance, they can do better."

"At the same time, this Arsenal is also unbeaten in other competitions!"

"So far, this Gunners has never lost a game! What a terrifying data!"

"I think any team facing Arsenal will be extremely terrified when they see this data!"

Yes!

Klopp is in this mood at this time.

A week later, they will face Arsenal in the Champions League semi-finals.

Seeing Arsenal's unbeaten record is indeed a headache.

So far, many tactics against Arsenal have been proven to be ineffective.

This even includes Barcelona and Manchester City.

So, Mourinho really brought out a terrifying team.

Even though Liverpool is in good shape in the Champions League, its excellent defense + pressing system has earned Liverpool the reputation of "mad dog".

But he still can't guarantee that he can beat Arsenal, even at home.

"40 rounds unbeaten, this is simply abnormal!"

Chen Man looked at the report in his hand and grinned.

Salah frowned on the side: "Arsenal is indeed strong, but we may not lose!"

Based on Salah's current state and number of goals, he believes that Liverpool has a chance to beat Arsenal.

"I didn't say we would fail! But" Chen Man paused and said; "I hope to play the tactics we are most familiar with, rather than suddenly come up with something strange."

When playing against Arsenal, just use the tactical system that you are most familiar with and most comfortable with to fight the opponent.

If we suddenly come up with some new tactics at this time, it will become an uncertain factor.

"Kai is in good shape recently." Henderson said.

Chen Man rolled his eyes: "That guy has always been in excellent shape. When he was in the national team, he was the guarantee of goals and the key point of defense."

Henderson smiled: "But you just restrained him!"

Chen Man grinned.

It is no secret that Le Kai is afraid of speed.

And Chen Man is one of the fastest players in the entire football world.

So, if there is a way to beat Arsenal, then Chen Man is the key.

At this time, the assistant coach walked into the locker room and shouted: "Everyone gather at the training ground, and start practicing tactics against Arsenal today."

Everyone stood up and walked out.

Klopp was already standing on the court. He first found players such as Chen Man, Henderson, Salah and Firmino. He had a brief exchange with the four and put forward his opinions.

Henderson really guessed it.

Klopp wanted to rely on Chen Man to create opportunities.

For this reason, Chen Man was pulled to the right to directly confront Lekai.

"Your task is critical. Our players will provide you with very comfortable long balls, and your task is to get around Kai and then chase the ball."

Klopp said seriously.

Chen Man cursed in his heart, this was so boring that he and Lucai were going to fight to the death!

But he can't say 'no', he still has to show his attitude.

"Look!"

Chen Man showed his cold white teeth: "When I was in the youth training, I once made him extremely miserable."

This was something that happened in the early days of the youth training. As for his mentality of being guarded by Lucai later, he didn't mention a word.

After the tactics are finalized, it’s time to practice.

Everyone at Liverpool is working hard for this Champions League semi-final.

For them, with the FA Cup eliminated, the EFL Cup eliminated, and the league title hopeless, the only thing they can pursue is the Champions League.

So, if you don’t go all out at this time, when will you go all out?

At the same time, Arsenal are also discussing Champions League tactics.

They displayed all possible tactics that the other side could use and studied them.

Among them, Chen Man is undoubtedly the most concerning.

Although the core of Liverpool's offense is Salah, Chen Man's role in Liverpool is actually not low at all.

Even when Salah has a problem and is tightly guarded by the opponent, Chen Man will stand out and take on the important task of attacking.

At the same time, Chen Man's speed was just right to restrain Lucai.

"Do you think you can deal with Chen's threat on the wing?"

Mourinho looked at Lucky and asked.

He also knew that Lucky's start-up and speed were not his strong points.

Although he has extremely high stealing and interception abilities, once the opponent starts to speed up, many of Lucai's abilities are restricted.

For this reason, Lucai shrugged: "It depends on the referee's standards."

Oh~~~~~~~~~~

The Arsenal players started to heckle.

"Are you trying to beat up your national team teammates?" Wilshere laughed.

"Foul tactics are all out! The captain really hates fast players!" Aubameyang also laughed.

Lucky turned around and grinned: "Broken leg warning!"

Everyone was not frightened, but laughed even more happily.

"No kidding." Le Kai waved his hand: "I'm still certain, but someone needs to control the position behind me and quickly seize the first place! I will restrict Chen, but I can't guarantee that I will Can completely restrain him!"

Mourinho nodded: "Then the full-back can't attack!"

After that, he looked at Robertson and said, "Did you hear that?"

Robertson nodded, gave a thumbs up and said, "Leave it to me."

Hummels also raised his hand and said: "I will also help Kai seize the first spot."

"Don't!" Lucky shook his head and said seriously; "Your task is to hold back. You are the last link of the defense. You don't need to step up at this time. This may give Liverpool a chance to hit behind!"

At this time, Martinez spread his hands: "Hey! Have you forgotten me? You have a Premier League Golden Glove!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud again.
