Chapter 184 The Cunning Old Fox

That evening, Wenger sent words of encouragement to the players remotely, saying that they had done a great job and that he had seen it all.

The players returned to London in high spirits, led by Patrice. Although 90% of them would not be playing in tomorrow night's match, they were not willing to miss the feast, and even cheering for their teammates from the sidelines was a meaningful thing.

They all knew very well that tomorrow's match against Manchester City could determine the champion.

If they can defeat Manchester City again, they will have a six-point lead over their opponents. Sometimes, a six-point gap may seem small, but it becomes all the more precious as the league progresses.

The following day, the streets of London were already filled with die-hard fans cheering for the team. They occupied every street corner, looking defiantly at some Manchester City fans wearing blue jerseys.

At this moment, their backs were straight, and they no longer had any inferiority complex. They all remembered that last season, the season before that, the season before that, and the season before that, for several seasons in a row, they could never hold their heads up when facing Manchester City and other strong teams.

But today, everything has changed. Their team has finally stood up, and they are now at the top of the Premier League table, no longer needing to rely on other teams.

"Shit, look at these Arsenal fans, they're like a bunch of nouveau riche, their noses in the air!"

"Exactly, what's with all the arrogance? After this match, they'll be brought back to reality. So what if they're temporarily at the top? Victory will ultimately belong to us."

Manchester City's dominance across all league levels this season is truly top-tier. Whether in the Premier League or the Champions League, they have delivered impressive performances, which is the source of confidence for Manchester City fans.

This time, facing Arsenal, they almost all saw this match as a battle to reclaim their rightful place. They not only wanted to defeat them, but also to shatter their confidence and make them make mistakes in subsequent matches.

Although there were still more than ten hours until the match, the area around the Emirates Stadium was already packed with people.

On this day, Arsenal's key players went through some routine recovery training at their club, and only boarded the team bus arranged by the team two hours before the match to head to their home stadium.

At this time, Manchester City, the away team, had already begun training at the Emirates Stadium to familiarize themselves with the pitch. Aguero, Bernardo Silva, Sané, and others attached great importance to this training, as they all knew that their role was crucial to whether or not the game could be won.

The more familiar you become with the game, the more likely you are to receive unexpected surprises during the competition.

This is the second time this season that Bernardo Silva has faced off against Thunder directly, and he doesn't want to experience defeat again.

Although he knew that the current Lehming was not the same Lehming of the past, he still wanted to try to see if he could successfully challenge the opponent. After all, his team's configuration was not bad at all, and he even felt that in terms of overall strength, Manchester City was slightly stronger than Arsenal.

If Arsenal didn't have Remlin, they might have been left far behind by now. But unfortunately, it is precisely because of Remlin that Arsenal is now firmly at the top of the Premier League table. Bernardo Silva has seen the manager regret not being able to secure Remlin more than once.

...........

"Dear viewers, what you are watching now is the 28th round of the Premier League, which is also the most anticipated match of the entire Premier League so far."

"This match will be between league leaders Arsenal and second-placed Manchester City. The two teams are currently separated by three points, so it can be said that this is even a match that will determine the future champion."

"If Manchester City can beat Arsenal, they will still be in second place due to a lower goal difference, but they will have the opportunity to wait for their opponents to make mistakes. However, if Manchester City fails to win this game, it is really hard to say whether they can overtake their opponents in the next ten games. After all, a six-point gap can sometimes be as wide as the English Channel."

"Alright, we can see that the players from both teams have gradually come out of the player tunnel. In this match, Lei Ming is still the captain of Arsenal, leading the players to shake hands with the Manchester City players one by one."

"The fans at the stadium were really enthusiastic! A brand new tifo appeared in the south stand of the Emirates Stadium. If I'm not mistaken, it looks like a cannon pointing at the Premier League trophy!"

In the live broadcast room, Huang Xiaotian excitedly introduced the situation of the game to the fans.

Liu Xin seemed to have made a new discovery and reminded him, "Brother Tian, ​​didn't you notice that the person standing next to the cannon looks familiar? He looks like Lei Ming to me!"

Huang Xiaotian took a closer look and realized that it was indeed the case.

"Haha, that's right, viewers, I dare say this is absolutely Lei Ming's image. What do you think? It's hard to imagine that Lei Ming's status among Arsenal fans has reached such a high level. I'm really happy for him!"

At this moment, many fans across the country are waiting to watch this game, especially those who are particularly interested in Lei Ming's partners, such as Zhai Tianlin, Zong Li, Lao Wang, and Qu Yunru, who are taking this game very seriously.

Each of them was nervously watching the game from their own homes, hoping to see the result they wanted.

In their hearts, any team that thunders is the team they support. So no matter how good Manchester City is, they still can't get their support. This phenomenon is actually very common in China. I don't know how many fans who were once the Blue Moon or Guardiola fans have switched to Arsenal at this moment.

Because they could all sense how significant this match was for Arsenal.

As the referee blew the opening whistle, the battle on the green field began.

At the start of the match, Arsenal, the home team with possession of the ball, passed it back into their own half to probe and stretch the defense. Compared to Manchester City's impatience, Arsenal appeared much more composed in this match.

After all, before the match, Wenger reminded them more than once that they must focus on defense. Even if they drew, it wouldn't matter, as they could still keep the points difference at three points and maintain their absolute lead. At this point, it should be Manchester City that is worried.

"What a cunning old fox!"

Guardiola stood on the sidelines watching Arsenal players pass the ball around in their own half right from the start, and couldn't help but mutter a curse about Wenger to himself.
