Chapter 684: Plan has changed, prepare to compete for Champions League qualification!
Chapter 684: Plan has changed, prepare to compete for Champions League qualification!
Of course, there are two pieces of good news among the pile of bad news for Arsenal.
Walcott and Giroud have returned from injury to participate in training. In this league, they were not allowed to play for insurance reasons.
At the same time, Ramsey, Cazorla and others are recovering relatively smoothly and are expected to be able to return before April.
In this way, Arsenal can still make a splash in April and then try to catch up with Leicester City.
Of course, Arsenal also pins its hopes on Chelsea.
If Chelsea can win against the Blue Fox in this round, Arsenal still has a chance!
With this idea in mind, Arsenal, No. 30, started the game first at Goodison Park.
In the end, they defeated the powerful Everton [-]-[-] cleanly.
In fact, Everton is not weak, on the contrary, they are a very strong team.For example, the team has many experienced veterans, strong backbone players and talents such as Stones, Jajjelka, Miralas, Naismith, Barry, Baines, Ross Barkley and Lukaku. juvenile.
I originally thought that Arsenal, who were short of some major generals, might encounter trouble at Goodison Park, but I didn't expect that they solved the Toffees' trouble.
At the same time, Tottenham defeated Bournemouth [-]-[-] at home.
In this way, two of the three teams most likely to win the championship have scored three points. Next, we have to look at the performance of the Blue Fox.
Of course, everyone actually wants to see Chelsea's performance.
The current situation of Chelsea is not good. Although they have reached near the mid-table, they are Chelsea. Not to mention successfully defending the title, they should at least appear in the top four, right?
Coupled with the constant conflicts within the team and the conflicts between head coach Mourinho and former team doctor Eva, the Blues are struggling this season.
As head coach, Mourinho's current position is also in jeopardy.
Although Mourinho was Chelsea's first love during the Abramovich period, this can be regarded as the rekindling of an old relationship after breaking up with his first love many years ago.
But...it seems that the passion has almost burned out.
Ye Qi got a chance to rest when playing Newcastle in the last round, and this round Ranieri also fulfilled his promise and let him start.
At the pre-match press conference, when asked about Mourinho, Ye Qi replied:
"Yes, I'm very grateful to Jose. Not only did he help me during the labor certification hearing, but everyone knows that he always looked up to me, especially when I was seriously injured."
"I'm friends with him and I have a lot of respect for him. I know he's facing difficulties now, but I'm still going to give my best in this game."
"If you respect a person, then please show your best. This is true respect. Jose doesn't need it, and he doesn't despise his opponent for letting him go. That is an insult to him."
"Opinion? I don't want to judge other teams, but I personally think he should get a lot of time and support. Didn't he just win the championship last season? No one can win all the time, and no one can win the championship all the time."
"If you don't perform well this season, just perform well next season."
He can be regarded as supporting Mourinho. After all, the madman is really having a hard time during this period. It is rumored that he is on the verge of being fired.
When reporters asked again about Leicester City's goals for this season, Ye Qi also smiled.
"To be honest, we all heard this question from you. If you don't ask this question one day, we might still be surprised." Ye Qi said with a smile.
He spread his hands: "Everyone knows that we announced not long ago that our plan for this season is the Europa League..."
Everyone knows this, because for more than half a season, no matter whether Leicester City was ranked first or fifth, the Blue Fox's external publicity goal was to avoid relegation!
Only recently, when the team returned from fifth place to the top three, did they change their words and say that their goal was the Europa League.
But now their league leader is four points ahead of No. 2 Arsenal!Well, in this way, if Chelsea is defeated in the game, they will continue to lead by four points. If they are eventually killed by the Blues, they will only lead by one point.
But even if this is the case, it doesn’t apply to the Europa League goal, right?
Ye Qi continued: "But plans often fail to keep up with the changes, so in response to the changes, our plans have also changed. We...are ready to compete for the Champions League qualification, which is the top four of the league!"
That's it? ?
The reporters in the audience were collectively confused, thinking to themselves, in this situation, do you really not intend to compete for the league championship?
Although the competition is still fierce, you have the lead!
Reporters found themselves unable to understand Leicester City. Not only were their current results incomprehensible, but their goals and plans were also incomprehensible.
Who is the good guy who wants to qualify for the Champions League or the Europa League in the first place in the league? !
Generally speaking, the goals set by teams will be higher than the actual situation.For example, the top four teams will definitely compete for the championship.
The fifth to sixth teams hope to break into the top four Champions League seats.
Most of the goals from seventh to ninth are aimed at Europa League seats.
But the Blue Foxes who are at the top of your list just want to get a Champions League spot. What do you think of Tottenham?What do you think of Arsenal?What do you think of Manchester City, which is currently fourth in the league?
The goal of qualifying for the Champions League was also set during the team meeting two days ago. Even though they were four points ahead of No. 2 Arsenal, the team did not drift away.
When changing the goal, he was also down-to-earth. He did not shout the slogan of winning the championship, but locked in the top four!
Of course, with the current situation of the Blue Fox, as long as they don't suffer an eight-game losing streak in the remaining games and get three to five points in the last eight games, they will definitely finish in the top four.
After all, fifth-placed Manchester United and fourth-placed Manchester City are still about ten points away from Leicester City.
Generally speaking, if you can score 75 points in the Premier League, you can basically lock in the top four.
And if you get more than [-] points, you can hit the top four, and the chance is very good.
In recent years, the fourth-place points in the Premier League have all been in their early 79s. Only Arsenal the year before last ranked fourth with 72 points, while Everton could only finish fifth with [-] points.
That year was also the year when the Four Mad Demons showed their prowess.
At the same time, based on the situation of Manchester City and Manchester United on the fringes of the Champions League this season, Leicester City should be able to lock in the top four as long as they are in their early [-]s.
Now they both have 69 points. As long as they win one game, that's enough. It's not a big problem.
Therefore, the reporters were not satisfied with Ye Qi's answer.
At this time, you are still setting off smoke bombs? !
Are you still saving your character? !
You must know that Tottenham's head coach Pochettino has shouted the slogan of competing for the championship not long ago. You, the top one, are so conservative, how can it be embarrassing for Tottenham?
Good guys, the goal of the first-place team is to compete for the championship, but the third-place team is starting to charge for the championship...
