Chapter 120

Chapter 120: The League Cup Semifinals Begin! The strongest lineup is out!!

With such a tight fixture and such an important opponent, Wenger had to make trade-offs.

In the end, he decided to give up the FA Cup.

The first task is to win the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, and the opponent is not strong anyway.

In the next league, it is natural to try to take points as much as possible, and first ensure that you do not lose to direct competition ~ opponents.

On 6 January, Arsenal once again sent a mixed first and second team to the FA Cup away from home.

This time, Lu Junfeng simply did not go with the team.

Including Cazorla, Arteta and other main players were left in London to rest, Gnabry, Li Ke and other youngsters got the opportunity to start.

Veterans such as Rosicky and Arshavin started again to give them a sense of the game.

Opposite Swansea, currently ranked in the middle of the Premier League, the strength should not be underestimated.

Not to mention that they beat Arsenal 2-0 at the beginning of the season, and Michu scored twice and became famous.

So Wenger didn’t expect the result of the game.

If you can win the best, if you can’t win, then forget it.

The game was intense.

In the first half, the two teams exchanged white rolls.

In the second half, Swansea once again fielded Spanish striker Michu.

The previously unknown player, who shined on his performance this season, once again took advantage of Arsenal.

Not long after he came off the bench, he picked up the ball in the middle, swung past Mertesack and pushed the goal to break the deadlock for Swansea.

Michu has scored 15 goals in all competitions this season, the most productive year of his career.

By the 70th minute of the game, Wenger was replaced by Podolski and Giroud.

Anyway, Podolsky and Giroud are not the main players of the iron fight, and they can rest in rotation.

In the 80th minute, Bo Plane really scored a corner kick!

He received a pass from Koscellny, turned and volleyed to score and equalise! It was his 10th goal of the season!

Not long after, Giroud, who also came off the bench, picked out a cross on the left flank, and Gibbs scored his first goal of the season!

This is the third goal of his career for Arsenal, which can be called the blossoming of the iron tree!

Arsenal surprise 2:1 comeback!

If you can win this FA Cup, it will be good, and it can give more opportunities for young people and marginal players.

Unexpectedly, near the end of the game, Swansea equalized with a corner kick and a volley from Graham!

The two teams finally shook hands 2:2!

According to the rules of the FA Cup, if there is a draw, it will be switched to Arsenal’s home stadium for a replay!

It’s a bit embarrassing for Arsenal.

Because the recent schedule has been very intensive, this is even worse by the FA Cup rematch!

And the rematch is at home, if you go all on the second team, and then get beaten in front of all the fans, it’s really not good.

Wenger’s wrinkles have become deeper!……

January 9, sunny.

Arsenal finally have a very important game for them this season, the League Cup semi-final!

The semi-finals had two legs, with the first leg being played at the Emirates Stadium.

Rivals Aston Villa currently have just 17 points from the league, third from bottom in the Premier League.

Facing such a relegation team, Arsenal hope to show an overwhelming advantage in the first leg and not give the opponent any upset!

The game was played at 3:45 a.m. in China and was not broadcast.

Still only the hardest fans will get up and find resources to watch such a less important cup match.

However, local Arsenal fans in London take the match very seriously.

Tickets have long been sold out.

Arsenal haven’t won a single tournament in almost eight years!

When they have a chance to win the title, how can the fans be excited?

They must go live to witness the team’s re-emergence!

The entire Arsenal club has taken this game as extremely important.

To this end, the Arsenal women’s team and the youth team at all stages have arranged for many players to come to watch the game live.

It’s part of the club’s culture, let them feel the passion of the fans firsthand!

Future stars such as Lea of the women’s team, Saka of the youth team, and Smith Rowe are all cheering on the big brothers of the first team on the sidelines.

Arsene Wenger also values the game. He put out what he thought was the strongest lineup.

Goalkeeper Szesny.

Four defenders Sania, Mertesack, Vermaelen, Gibbs.

Midfielders Cazorla, Arteta, minor threat.

Center Lu Junfeng.

Left wave plane, right Walcott.

On the bench sat Olivier Giroud, Hot Birds, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsey, Koquerin, Koscielny and goalkeeper Martinez.

Aston Villa also values this game.

Although the league did not play well this season, it was deep in the relegation zone.

But since the cup has a chance to win the championship, it is naturally not to be missed! Football is round and anything is possible!

How do you know if it works without trying? Their starter is goalkeeper Giving.

Defenders Bennett, Nathan Baker, Clarke, Lotton. Midfielders Nzobia, Bannan, Delf, Abang Rajo.
