The whole of England is discussing the points chase between Manchester United and Arsenal.
Especially at the end of the league, the Gunners turned the originally flat Premier League upside down.
Nowadays, all major sports programs and media are talking about the competition between Manchester United and Arsenal at the end of the season.
Many people excitedly expressed that Wenger's Gunners are back!
Throughout the latter part of the season, Arsenal showed amazing tactical qualities in every game.
Especially after the 20th round, when the midfield was hit by an injury wave and players such as Cazorla and Arteta were unable to play, Arsenal sent out an 18-year-old temporary core.
But no one expected that this temporary core not only withstood the pressure, but also brought Arsenal to third place in points.
It can be said that in the second half of Arsenal's game, it was the 18-year-old boy who carried the team forward.
Let’s take a look at the data that Lucky produced after he entered the starting lineup in the second half of the season.
[29 appearances/26 starts, 5.0 steals per game, 4.0 interceptions per game, 3.0 clearances per game, 6.0 ground duels won per game, 92% pass success rate, 5 assists, 3 league goals, 1 Champions League goal, 20 key passes, 5 yellow cards, 0 red cards]
Just seeing this data is enough to make people feel uneasy.
These are the statistics of an 18-year-old boy who just started in the starting lineup!
Just from this data, we can see how important Lukaku is to Arsenal.
Now, many Premier League head coaches are almost envious of Wenger.
After Fabregas, this guy has found another talented young man.
And he is the midfielder who determines the team's tactical system.
Even Fabregas couldn't produce such data at the age of 18!
The most exciting thing is that the injured players in Arsenal's midfield are returning one after another. The timely return of Cazorla and Arteta has made Arsenal full of vitality this season.
Today's Arsenal midfield is no longer held up by this young man.
He has welcomed a powerful partner!
In the 31st round of the Premier League, Arsenal faced the challenge of Reading, who was in the relegation zone, at home.
As a team that has just been promoted from the Championship to the Premier League, Reading has not been able to adapt to the environment throughout the Premier League season and is likely to return to the Championship after one round in the top league.
Many Reading fans hope that the club can show enough toughness and stage a Jedi counterattack in the Premier League.
But they are facing an Arsenal which is currently at its peak!
The Gunners shot one goal after another into Reading's goal, shattering the beautiful fantasies of Reading fans.
At the end of 90 minutes, Arsenal won the game 4:1 against Reading at home.
The player with the highest rating in the game was Cazorla. Due to the lack of defensive pressure, Luka's performance in this game was not outstanding and he received a score of 7.5.
However, Arsenal fans do not care about this. The value of Luka is not reflected in this kind of favorable situation, but when the team faces difficulties and dangers, Luka's ability to turn the tide in adversity is what Arsenal fans value most.
…
In the 32nd round of the Premier League, Arsenal beat West Brom 2:1 away.
Throughout the game, West Bromwich Albion caused some trouble for Arsenal, and until the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was still 1:1.
But in the 65th minute, Lukay 's key steal in the frontcourt helped Arsenal quickly counterattack and score the winning goal.
Arsenal won another away game and also won their tenth consecutive league victory.
At the end of the season, the fighting power shown by the Gunners shocked everyone.
But this game is not the focus.
The Manchester derby between Manchester United and Manchester City is the crucial battle.
For the entire 90 minutes, the two sides fought hard together, fighting for every scoring opportunity.
But Manchester City was ultimately more skilled. In the 78th minute, Yaya Toure assisted Aguero to score the winning goal.
Manchester United suffered a bitter defeat at home!
Manchester United’s failure has driven the entire Premier League crazy!
Due to the defeat in this game, Manchester United is only 4 points ahead of Arsenal in the standings.
This also means that Arsenal really has the possibility of a comeback in the later stages of the league!
The British Isles is shaken!
Daily Mail: "Arsenal fights back! They are only 4 points behind Manchester United!"
The Guardian: "Look at this crazy season! The Gunners are back!"
Manchester Evening News: "Sniper from the Gunners! Ferguson should be careful of Wenger!"
London Athletic: "Go! Gunners!"
The famous English football commentator even shouted "God" directly. He posted a long article on his personal Twitter:
"Guys! It's crazy! The whole Premier League is crazy!"
"Wenger is back with that horrible Gunners team again!!"
"Look at what they have done during this period! They beat Chelsea and Liverpool, won ten consecutive games, and brought Arsenal to second place in the standings. They are only 4 points behind Manchester United at the top! What a crazy thing!"
"At the beginning of the season, Arsenal, who had a bad start, were mocked by the media as 'Arsenal OUT'."
"Yes, they were playing terribly, with a lot of problems and a tactical mess, but they quickly adjusted and started fighting back towards the top of the table!"
"At that time, no one expected this scene to happen today! Because Arsenal has suffered another wave of injuries!"
"It was a sad thing, even many people shouted 'Arsenal! OUT!' again, yes, they seemed happy to see the Gunners fall."
"But none of this happened! When no one believed in them, they believed in themselves!"
"An 18-year-old temporary core is carrying a brand new team of gunners forward!"
"They took one step at a time. They didn't play beautifully, but they won!"
"This Gunners team that no one was optimistic about has now reached the third place in the standings!"
“They succeeded!”
"Soon after, Arteta and Cazorla's return gave the Gunners a boost, and now they are second in the league."
"Guys, it's 2013, not 2004!"
"But looking at Arsenal now is like looking through the mist of history and looking directly at the omnipotent Arsenal!"
"When everyone thought Wenger was no longer capable, he led a brand new Gunners team to stand in front of Ferguson again and challenged him!"
"April 30th, don't forget this day guys!"
"In the 35th round of the Premier League, the Red Devils will face the Gunners at home. This is a crucial battle for the Premier League championship. I will bring you the most professional commentary in the live broadcast room of the British BBC TV station!"
…
The atmosphere at Arsenal is completely different now.
If Arsenal's previous goal was to reach the Champions League zone, then after various changes, everything had to be forced to change.
This change is abrupt but also exciting.
When the gap between them and Manchester United was only 4 points, no one could resist the temptation.
The Gunners now have greedy eyes, they even smell the championship!
They just need to beat Manchester United!
Of course, before that, they need to maintain everything they have now and stand in front of Manchester United.
In the 33rd round, Arsenal, who were in great form, beat Norwich 3-1 at home.
Unfortunately, Manchester United did not continue to lose.
Of course, they did not expect Manchester United to lose to Stoke City, even if they were playing away!
At the same time, on the FA Cup stage, Arsenal easily defeated Wigan Athletic 2:0 at home and entered the FA Cup final.
This is the first time Arsenal has reached the FA Cup final in eight years.
The last time Arsenal reached the FA Cup final was in the 2004/2005 season when Arsenal faced Manchester United.
After a brutal penalty shootout, they finally lifted the FA Cup trophy.
But that was 9 years ago.
Arsenal fans were both dazed and emotional.
Despite the ups and downs this season, they still tenaciously reached the final stage.
This has brought tears to the eyes of Arsenal fans!
However, their opponents in the FA Cup final are also strong.
2012/2013 FA Cup final, Wembley Stadium.
Arsenal VS Manchester City!
But before that, Arsenal still has a tough battle!
That is the 35th round of the league that is about to begin!
…
In the 34th round, Arsenal played away against Fulham. Fulham, who was under pressure to avoid relegation, fought actively throughout the game.
But they are facing an Arsenal team that is obsessed with the championship!
With the Gunners' tenacious fighting spirit, they won 1:0 against Fulham away from home.
So far, Arsenal has maintained a 4-point gap and stood ahead of Manchester United.
Manchester United also welcomed the challenge from Arsenal with two consecutive victories!
Manchester United fans felt a sense of urgency at this moment.
Arsenal has never been easy to deal with!
Especially in the 2003-04 season, when they suffered enough from Arsenal.
With the massive loss of stars, they thought Arsenal had lost its vitality.
But who could have thought that at the end of the league, Arsenal would point their guns at Manchester United's head.
Manchester United started strong but ended weak!
Arsenal started low and ended high!
This crucial battle is about to begin!
The day before the 35th round of the Premier League...
Ferguson stood at the window, looking far towards London.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and it was pitch black, with occasional rumbles of thunder.
When I opened the window, I could smell a faint smell of gunpowder in the moist air.
Ferguson narrowed his eyes slightly.
He understands!
That was an old friend who had been entangled with him for half his life, and was both his enemy and friend!
Wenger is here!
With his brand new gun!
"Those smokers, go find your youth training coach!"
A group of young men came out from the corner. Their expressions were filled with panic, frustration, and even a hint of fear.
They couldn't understand why Ferguson suddenly appeared in the Hall of Fame.
Ferguson shook his head, sighed, and closed the window.
If it were in the past, he would have kicked him away!
I'm old after all!
