Chapter 199 Steps towards the fourth championship

The two parties have tentatively reached an agreement of intent, and the whole process is quite satisfactory.

For Mourinho, although Buffon is a bit older, he is still a good choice as a second goalkeeper. He has enough experience and the most important thing is that he is cheap and has good abilities.

If Martinez has any injury problems, Buffon can take care of him.

Any club chooses a goalkeeper carefully. As the last link of defense, an excellent goalkeeper can completely support a team's defense.

Of course, both parties have no intention of announcing it yet.

On the one hand, the season is not over yet, so it is not suitable for announcement.

On the other hand, Arsenal is currently at a critical moment and cannot allow the slightest surprise.

After reaching the Champions League final, in the evening, the Arsenal team watched another Champions League game together.

Their opponents will be born in this game.

The entire 90-minute match was extremely intense.

Both Tottenham and Barcelona are fighting for another Champions League final qualification.

But in terms of state, Tottenham is better.

On the one hand, due to Sun Xingmin's explosion, he has more scoring points and offensive points.

On the other hand, Harry Kane has returned, which has led to Tottenham's overall improvement to another level.

At the same time, under Pochettino's deployment, the integration problem of Sun Xingmin and Harry Kane was also perfectly solved.

This also gives Tottenham's offense a strong aggressive intent.

On the other hand, Barcelona's overall state and physical fitness have declined seriously after a long season.

Although Valverde and the Barcelona players worked very hard to score goals.

But he was still embarrassed by Tottenham's high-position press.

In the end, Tottenham defeated Barcelona 2:1.

The total score was 3:2 and qualified for the Champions League final.

Arsenal and Tottenham are approaching the Champions League final, and the Champions League final between the two Premier League teams has the whole of Europe talking.

Of course, the most exciting thing is that these two teams moved the North London derby to the stage of the Champions League final.

Obviously, this game is bound to be full of excitement.

The mortal enemies are extremely jealous when they meet, and with the Champions League honor at the forefront, both fans and players will definitely devote 200% of their energy to deal with it.

This will also be the fifth time Tottenham face Arsenal this season.

Tottenham have lost in home and away games in the league and home and away games in the EFL Cup before.

If they lose again in this game, it will be a huge blow to Tottenham.

For this reason, Pochettino also showed his dignity towards the media. This is a game they cannot lose.

However, facing Arsenal in their prime, Tottenham's pressure is still huge.

The Champions League final is scheduled for June 1, and will be played at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Spain, which is also the home stadium of Atletico Madrid.

Before that, Arsenal still have to face the FA Cup final.

They will face Manchester City in this match.

This is definitely not an easy event.

Soon, the time came to May 18, which was also the day of the FA Cup final.

Arsenal and Manchester City fans gathered at Wembley Stadium in London.

They will witness the birth of the FA Cup champion here.

Will Manchester City cut off Arsenal's unbeaten streak, or will Arsenal win their fourth championship trophy?

All this will be revealed after 90 minutes.

"This is the 2018/2019 FA Cup final. This game will pit Arsenal against Manchester City. After 90 minutes, the FA Cup champion will be born!"

"Manchester City has yet to win any championships this season, and Arsenal won the league two rounds ahead of schedule. Therefore, this is also Manchester City's last chance to chase the championship."

"If they fail here it means the Premier League will be dominated by Arsenal this season."

"As for Arsenal, they just won the EFL Cup here two months ago, and now they will compete in the FA Cup final!"

"Arsenal have already won the treble this season, but they are still chasing the title."

"There are two key games left for Arsenal, the FA Cup final and the Champions League final on June 1!"

With the words of commentator Paul Mawson, players from both sides walked out of the tunnel.

The scene was filled with joy and fierce cheers came and went.

Fans from both sides are cheering for their respective home teams.

The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:

Manchester City (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Morais.

Defenders: Kyle Walker, Kompany, Laporte, Zinchenko.

Midfielder: Bernardo Silva, Gundogan, David Silva.

Forwards: Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling.

Arsenal (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Martinez.

Defenders: Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.

Midfielder: Kante, Wilshere, Lucky.

Forwards: Aubameyang, Giroud, Dembele.

"Arsenal is playing with all the main players, but for Manchester City, De Bruyne missed the game due to injury, and Aguero has not recovered from his previous injury, so he may not be able to participate in this season!"

"In this game, Manchester City's midfield organizational responsibility falls on David Silva. Whether he can withstand Arsenal's midfield pressure has become a key node in this game."

After Paul Merson finished speaking, Dixon immediately answered; "David Silva is an excellent midfielder, but after all, his age is there. In the past, Manchester City played around David Silva, but With the growth of De Bruyne, the core of Manchester City's offense and defense is now De Bruyne. David Silva has not done this kind of core job for a long time, but can he perform as well as before? It was when facing Kai.”

When David Silva partnered with Yaya Toure, Arsenal led by young Lucky suffered a lot from them.

But now David Silva is old, and he is the one who is under pressure when facing Lucky.

But a veteran is a veteran after all, and his face is still extremely calm.

In addition, Kompany, the veteran and captain at the back, started the game, which greatly improved the mental level.

The captains of both sides guessed.

Arsenal got the kick-off and the right to attack first.

Manchester City chose the left half.

Players from both sides came to their respective positions and the atmosphere of the game suddenly became tense.

This is the second time Arsenal has entered the final.

But he was still extremely nervous.

This is especially true for Manchester City players, after all, this is the only championship they can compete for this season.

If they lose this game, they will be without a title this season just like Liverpool.

At the same time, they will also witness the birth of an Arsenal that dominates the Premier League.

This is not a situation they want to see.

For this reason, no matter how difficult this game is, we must win it.

"Cheer up! Let's play a wonderful game!"

David Silva was loudly encouraging morale and at the same time cheering himself up.

That would be fine if it was David Silva when he was young, but now that his physical function has declined, it would be embarrassing for him to face Lucky in his prime.

But there is no way.

After De Bruyne was injured, he must carry the offensive banner.

For this reason, David Silva asked himself not to play more aggressively.

Soon, as the referee's whistle sounded, Arsenal immediately kicked off.

After continuous back passes, forcing Manchester City to press forward, Arsenal directly passed the ball forward, and the ball flew past the gap in the front court.

Aubameyang stopped the ball steadily, but at this time, he was already being targeted by the opponent's full-back Zinchenko.

With no room to turn, he could only pass back to Wilshere.

Wilshere immediately made the move.

After Dembe came to catch the ball, he tried to break through.

But with Kyle Walker pressing hard, he couldn't find any room to break through.

"Manchester City paid special attention to the defense of both wings in this game. This is also a lesson learned. Arsenal's wing attack always puts too much pressure on them."

Several offensive attempts were fruitless, and Arsenal was unwilling to lose the ball, so they passed the ball back again.

When the ball came to Lucai's feet, Lucai began to direct his teammates, and the overall rhythm began to stabilize.

At the same time, Lucky passed a deeper pass towards the center.

Giroud caught the ball, turned around, fell to the ground and fired.

The ball flew to the upper right corner, and Manchester City goalkeeper Moraes fought hard to save it.
