The round of 97 Wenger and the desire for a champion

Kearney training base, Wenger's office.

Wenger is still looking into details about Luton. For Arsenal, their luck in the semi-final draw was pretty good — after all, the opponent was just a second division team.

However, Wenger who is always careful will not underestimate the enemy because of this, and can finish off the Chelsea and Manchester City teams. If Arsenal are ignorant, they will eventually have to bear fruit.

“This team cannot be underestimated!” Wenger's assistant Les was also present at the office.

Wenger nodded: "This young man has formed a talented team. I don't know where he's recruiting these young people."

"I heard Charlie Austin was a brick maker before joining Luton. For example, Vardy and Kante were also dug up in the amateur league ..." Les shook his head. "Can these Chinese predict Operation?"

In short, Wenger and Rice do not understand this, but Wenger has always been known for his love of young goblin coaching, and there are plenty of talented youngsters at his Arsenal.

The 21-year-old Spanish midfielder Fabregas has become the absolute core of Arsenal's midfield. Twenty-year-old tiger Walcott is thriving and French genius Nasri is also playing at the Emirates Stadium. Football talent.

In addition, Wilshere has also started to appear. The 20-year-old Ramsey was also transferred from Cardiff City last summer to Arsenal and has gradually become Arsenal's main reserve in defence.

Wenger's team also has a group of young talents.

But Wenger's headache at the moment is a situation where Arsenal's defensive line is full of wounded soldiers.

Including the main goalkeeper Almunia, defenders Clichy, Gallas, Djourou, Sagna and others who are sidelined with injuries, and in midfield, Diaby has now shown his body, without a minor injury. The pain recurred again, for a while, I definitely could not count on it. Rosicky is now also three days with a minor injury and five days with a major injury.

"We've had too many injuries ..." Wenger frowned. "Almunia's hurt. I'm not too relieved by Fabianski's experience on the goal line."

Fabianski is a young goalkeeper. His reaction and agility were decent, but Wenger was a little worried about the lack of experience, especially in the FA Cup semi-final where his goalkeeper was a candidate, unconvincing did make Wenger dizzy.

"Don't worry too much, Arsenal, our opponent in this game is not Manchester United .." said Rice, "With Fabianski's ability, he can be trusted against Luton. And our forwards have been in very good shape lately. "

Wenger's pouting eyebrows are outstretched.

This is also true, Arsenal have been completely on fire recently. Arsenal's main striker Adebayor has scored four goals in his last four games since returning to the national team and helping Togo beat Cameroon. He has scored 20 goals in 32 games so far this season. And twelve assists, it's very hot.

Van Persie, who is recovering from injury, is also optimistic about his weapons. In the last round of Premier League matches, Van Persie scored twice and helped the team beat Wigan Athletic 4-1, and is still in its 38th match. Help the team to make a penalty in a few minutes. In terms of offensive team, there are also players who are in a state of on fire. Attacking midfielder Fabregas has provided six assists in the last four matches. It could be said that it was the source of the team's offensive creativity. The pitch shows unparalleled football talent.

Arsenal are desperate to win the championship. Wenger and his team have missed the championship for four years. If you don't count the Emirates Cup hosted by Arsenal themselves, the last time they won the championship trophy will be traced back to the 2005 FA Cup final. Arsenal are at their peak. Beating Manchester United in a ball game, Wenger ushered the team to the FA Cup trophy for the fourth time.

And now in the league, Arsenal are ten points behind Manchester United. There is only a theoretical possibility of winning the championship. If you want to end the lack of champions, you can only put your hopes on the FA Cup.

Just three days ago, in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final, Arsenal beat Villarreal 3-0 at home and advanced to the Champions League semi-finals with a total score of 4-1. However, in the semi-finals, Arsenal will probably face opponents including Chelsea, Barcelona, Manchester United, these three teams are not easy to face, it is very difficult to win the Champions League.

But in the FA Cup, the possibility of Arsenal qualifying for the final in this event is much higher than in the Champions League, so Wenger will not let go of the possibility of becoming FA Cup champion.

...

"We will do our best!!"

In a press conference before the game, Wenger said so.

"Luton is a team that cannot be underestimated. Gao Bo is amazing. He has built a strong team in the second division. It was no coincidence that they reached the semi-finals. They have such power. Some of their core players are very outstanding youngsters, so we won't take it lightly. We will work hard in this game. The initiative is in our own hands. Arsenal will soon enter the game to control the game!"

Wenger's words in front of the media are definitely not a compliment to Luton, but his sincere remarks. In fact, Wenger said the same thing in Arsenal's tactical meeting.

“This is a very good team in defending and counterattacking !!” Wenger pointed to the tactical board next to him. “442 Luton looks different from the usual 442 formation. They like to start surviving on the frontcourt. Use solid formations to press the ball holder! We must not ignore this point. Passing in the back court should be decisive and safe. If not necessary, you should not risk passing the ball on the back court! "

Wenger has watched a video of Luton's FA Cup tie. Many of Luton's goals were counter-attacks in place after stealing the ball in midfield or frontcourt.

Luton's tactical style gave Wenger a refreshing feeling. In Wenger's view, Gao Bo is a new generation coach who has a very deep understanding of tactics, and is very imaginative and able to practice them.

And he was very young ...

"To attack the front field, pass the ball, do not be careless! Take a good look at their defensive midfielder Kante, his stealing ability is very strong, don't try to pass people easily!"

Regarding matters related to the FA Cup win, Wenger believes caution is needed, if Arsenal overturn the ship due to their carelessness in such a knockout game, it would be the biggest joke.

The big teams cannot miss the trophy too long, Wenger knows this well.

Four years is long enough, and it is time for Arsenal to bring something new to the Hall of Glory at the Emirates Stadium.
