Football: Shine in the AFC Champions League and sign with Arsenal on the spot

After 34 rounds of Premier League fixtures with Wigan Athletic, Arsenal have secured a Champions League spot, as Arsene Wenger has previously said.

Fifth-placed Chelsea are 12 points clear of Arsenal and have only four games left in the Premier League.

Coincidentally, Arsenal's next game is at home to Chelsea.

Chelsea are known as the 'Blues' and 'The Car' by Chinese fans.

The former is called the 'Blue Lions' because there is a lion holding a scepter in the Chelsea team emblem, and the team's jerseys are mainly blue, so it is called the 'Blue Lions', and Chinese fans have simplified it to 'Blues' in order to remember it.

The origin of the latter's 'car' is because when the Premier League first entered China, most of them were accepted in Cantonese, and Chelsea in Cantonese was called 'Chelushi', and in order to remember, Chinese fans simplified it to 'car'.

It is worth mentioning that Chelsea fans like to call themselves 'my car'.

As mentioned earlier, Arsenal and Chelsea are the only two teams in the Premier League to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season, and now after Arsenal eliminated, Chelsea has become the only Premier League seed in the Champions League semi-finals.

The car beat Benfica from the Portuguese Super League in the quarter-finals to reach the semi-finals, where they face Barcelona, who knocked out the Gunners.

Ahead of the first leg of the semi-finals, everyone outside the world was not optimistic about this Chelsea team.

They believe that Arsenal, who are third in the Premier League, are easily beaten by Barcelona, and that Chelsea, who are fifth in the Premier League, will not be Barca's opponents, and Chelsea have replaced a new manager with an unknown origin in February, Roberto Di Matteo.

These are the two reasons that have made many fans who follow this game worried about Chelsea's Champions League prospects.

However, the result of the first leg of the semi-final between the two sides on 19 April was a shock to everyone's jaws.

With their extreme defense and sharp counter-attacks, they beat Barcelona 1-0 at home Stamford Bridge, causing a big upset.

The goal was scored by 'Warcraft' Drogba!

Chelsea travel to the Emirates Stadium to take on Arsenal on 21 April and host the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Barcelona on 25 April.

Ahead of the Chelsea vs Arsenal clash there has been speculation about what kind of line-up the two sides will field.

Arsenal are securing qualification for next season's Champions League, and the Premier League is arguably less important for Arsenal this season, after all, they will face the final of the EFL Cup after this game.

Chelsea are six points clear of fourth in the Premier League, while the Champions League has a chance to make history.

Therefore, there is no kind of speculation from the outside world.

When the match actually arrived on April 21, everyone knew what the two teams were going to do.

......

"From the squads released by the two teams before the game, it can be seen that both sides sent a semi-main and semi-substitute lineup, which can be seen the attitude of both sides towards this game."

"That's right!"

Huang Jianxiang and He Wei sat together in the commentary seat above the Emirates Stadium and explained.

Because in the next two weeks, Arsenal with Chen Fan will usher in two cup finals, Huaxia TV decided to send two commentators to the scene to comment.

So the two of them were sent to England to talk about the Premier League game.

Rumble!

There was a huge cheer around the two men, and they looked on the pitch to see that it was the players from both sides who had played.

Naturally, the Arsenal fans at home cheered for the home team.

The on-site announcer then began to broadcast the starting line-up, the first time the two of them had come to the Emirates Stadium to commentate, having only seen the scene on television before.

Looking at it at this time, it is really shocking, and every time the name of an Arsenal player is reported, the Arsenal fans will cheer.

And when it came to Chen Fan on the 10th, the announcer paused, and then raised his voice and shouted.

"Nanbo is also here to share! Chen Fan!

After the announcer's words, all the Arsenal fans present shouted Chen Fan's name in unison

, "Chen! chen！ chen！

Huang He and the others in the commentary seat felt that the fans shouted Chen Fan's voice as if they were louder than other players, and their eyes were shocked and relieved.

After the customary ceremony, wait until the players on both sides stand still, and the referee blows the whistle for the start of the game.

The first half began with a back-and-forth affair between the two sides, with Chelsea taking the lead in scoring.

In the 24th minute of the game, Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was cut off by Chelsea striker Fernando Torres, who went straight to the Arsenal penalty area.

Just as 'Tuoyu' Torres was about to enter the box, he made a quick stop to trick the defender into cutting inside.

Seeing that he was out of position, Li Ke wanted to block in front of him again, but the opponent shot directly with his feet.

Boom!

The football flew past Li Ke and rushed towards the Arsenal goal.

The Gunners goalkeeper in front of goal, Szczesny, was blocked by his own team-mates, causing him to react half a beat slower to the oncoming football.

He then made a flying save, but could not stop the movement of the football, and could only watch the ball fly into the goal.

"Torres' shot! The goal was scored and Chelsea led 1-0. But it doesn't matter, there's still a lot of time to play.

Huang Jianxiang witnessed the goal in the commentary seat and said a little depressed.

On the pitch, Torres was also very excited to see his goal, rushing to the stands of the visiting Chelsea fans and celebrating wildly.

After that goal, there were no more goals in the first half of the game.

In the Arsenal dressing room in midfield, Arsene Wenger is making a midfield substitution.

"Chen, you can take a break."

After hearing Professor Wenger's words, Chen Fan did not nod but smiled and said to the other party.

"Professor, I don't want to play yet, I feel like I'm in good shape today."

Arsene Wenger didn't say anything more after hearing this, and he wanted to replace Chen Fan in order to prepare for the next EFL Cup final.

But he also likes people like Chen Fan who are full of fighting spirit and have enthusiasm for every game.

Soon the second half of the game began, and Chen Fan was naturally not replaced.

Chelsea saw hope of victory after scoring the first goal, so they brought on captain John Terry and striker Didier Drogba in midfield to keep the suspense of fourth place in the Premier League.

But that might be going to disappoint them.

In the 78th minute of the second half, Ramsey received a pass from the backfield, and after receiving the ball, he did not hesitate to pick up the pass directly to the right side.

Chen Fan, who was on the right side, had already started early, shook off a substitute defender who was marking him, and rushed to the opponent's half.

Next in front of him was Chelsea captain John Terry, who quickly approached Chen Fan and wanted to use his sturdy body to take the football.

It's a pity that Chen Fan has good skills at his feet, and he used a bull's tail to force an overtake into the Chelsea penalty area.

After entering the penalty area, Chen Fan faced the defense of multiple defenders and accidentally shot with the outside of his left foot.

This caught the defenders who defended him off guard and failed to stop the football.

The ball then flew in a perfect arc towards the top left corner of the Chelsea goal.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech was quick to react but couldn't save such a tricky shot.

“goal！！！ Old! The unexpected outside instep! "
