Chapter 193: The FA Cup final opponents Arsenal!
After this epic Champions League battle, Chelsea and Liverpool's head coach Hiddink and Benitez both affirmed the performance of their players and praised their opponents in the post-match interview!
After the completion of the Champions League final 4 series, the coaches of both sides maintained their own demeanor after the game, instead of being intrigue like the interview before the game! "Unscrupulous" for the team's victory!
Opponents on the field, friends off the field! It's like most of the red and blue players used to fight **** the court, but at the moment when the whistle sounded, most of the players would settle their suspicions, shake hands and salute, talk in twos!
After the game, whether Hiddink will invite Benitez to have a drink in London is something that some tabloid media need to chase!
It's just that the Chelsea players are destined to not be able to celebrate the victory of the total score of the two rounds!
Hiddink was in the dressing room after the match, but emphasized that the players are never allowed to relax too much after the match! What to spend the night in a nightclub, a lot of alcohol, is strictly prohibited by Hiddink!
The Chelsea players, facing the "fire fighting" coach who is trusted by Abramovich, did not dare to wring with him! If you were banned from the coach team in the final stage of the championship, it would really be more than worth the loss!
The continuous tight schedule does not allow the Chelsea players to relax too much. They will compete with the Gunners Arsenal at Wembley Stadium in 3 days for the first championship honor of the season, the FA Cup!
For the future of the Champions League, Hiddink does not know if Chelsea can really get what they want! After all, in the Champions League level of competition, any team that has reached the Champions League semi-finals has no underdogs and should have the opportunity to compete for the "Big Ears" Cup!
No team, at this time, dare to say that they will be able to defeat their opponents, invincible in the Champions League, and win the final championship!
Compared with the next two Champions League semi-finals, which will determine the final place! Chelsea, who easily reached the final of the FA Cup all the way, are determined to win this championship at this time!
There are still a few rounds left in the final of the league, Manchester United should be hopeless to reverse stability! The British League Cup was even strategically given up early! The Champions League will not start again until a few weeks later! The FA Cup championship is what Chelsea care about most at this stage! Even if your team has just finished the European game, physical fitness may not be at its best! However, the FA Cup final opponent Arsenal, the time of the second round of the Champions League, is one day later than Chelsea. In theory, Chelsea is actually the more dominant side!
That's right, Chelsea's opponent in the FA Cup final this time, coincidentally, is Chelsea's London rival, the Gunners Arsenal!
Compared with Abramovich, who has spent a lot of money since entering Chelsea, he has continuously strengthened Chelsea's lineup and pursued higher honors!
Arsenal, who competed with Manchester United in the Premier League that year, put on the agenda for the new stadium and started building it. It embarked on the road of continuous training and selling of players, and it has gone on this road. The trend back!
Arsenal head coach Wenger is aiming at athletes over 30 years old, and has a strategy of signing once a year to ensure that some players who are in decline can be replaced at any time to ensure the team's immediate strength and salary level!
This strategy, with the investment of major European clubs in the past two years, has caused countless experienced veterans, even the players trained by Arsenal themselves, to become chilled by the operation of their own clubs and switch to other teams in search of better Salary guarantee! This also makes Arsenal this season can be called Home Alone!
But I have to admit! Arsenal's boss is extremely stingy, and the investment for the purpose of making money makes Arsenal destined to be unable to compete with other giants in lineup strength. Professor Wenger is always able to use his own insights like pearls to find the best seed for Arsenal's youth training, train his own youth training players, and use limited players to create decent balls. Team strength!
This also makes that although Arsenal is always known as the giant with the least investment, they spend every penny on the blade, always get high-quality and low-cost players, and always keep the front in the league. Four competitiveness to ensure that the biggest money-making platform of the Champions League is not lost!
Wenger still has a hand in training the team and building the team lineup! Especially for the team's offensive training and personnel reserves, with limited transfer funds, Wenger has almost achieved the ultimate!
Although the prestige of "Temperature Difference Signing" has been circulating since this time, most of the players that Wenger really signed have played their worth, especially the offensive players!
Players will be lost almost every season, but the substitutes in that position, or the supplementary players purchased, will fill the vacancy in that position in time!
The Arsenal strikers this season are full of talents! Although they are not the kind of top superstars yet, just look at the name ~lightnovelpub.net~ to know that Arsenal dug up players to train in the era when their worth was not obvious, how poisonous Wenger's vision!
Adebayor! Van Persie! Bendtner! And Arshavin, who just bought it in Dongchuang!
The four outstanding strikers can be said to have made Arsenal's striker group change a lot, and no one can make targeted arrangements before the game!
Especially the Russian "Tsar" Arshavin, who is still at its peak, and Bendtner, the top young talent of this era, are all complements to Arsenal's outstanding offensive strength!
As for Arsenal’s midfield, Nasri has an excellent wing breakthrough attacker, and an excellent midfield organizer Fabregas delivers ammunition for the forward group. Diaby is responsible for covering the backcourt interception, and the rest are The midfielders are all produced by Arsenal's youth training, but they are all outstanding players!
On the back line, French internationals Sarnia, Clichy, Kolotouré, Alexander Song and others not only guard the team's back line, but also give the team an excellent offensive supplement when necessary!
Only in terms of goalkeepers, due to this season's starting goalkeeper Spaniard Ribeiro was injured in the previous game, Arsenal will send the second goalkeeper Fabianski to play in the FA Cup!
Perhaps at the beginning of this season, due to too many new aids, Arsenal’s tactical coordination has declined, which in turn affected Arsenal’s record at the beginning of the season. Na has returned to the top four of the league and has also reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. There is a high chance that he will eliminate La Liga team Villarreal and enter the quarter-finals!
Therefore, Hiddink is also very jealous of this Arsenal team that is getting stronger and stronger! Chelsea must use the most rigorous attitude towards this Arsenal team!
