Mysterious operation! Arsenal s all main players attacked and was reversed. If Tarsong is eliminated in the Champions League, he will be the culprit.

In the early morning of May 4, a focus battle was staged in the 35th round of the 2024/25 Premier League. Arsenal, ranked second in the standings, conceded 2 goals in a row while scoring one goal, and was eventually reversed by Bournemouth 1-2. At present, they are only 3 points ahead of Manchester City behind them, and their dream of three consecutive athletics can be shattered at any time. The key is that when the Champions League life and death battle will be held in four days, Arteta sent all the main players to the field and lost the ball, which is a puzzling magical operation.

In the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals in the mid-week, Arsenal suffered a blitzkrieg 0-1 loss to visiting Paris Saint-Germain at home, and the promotion situation is not optimistic. In the Premier League, they are ranked second in the standings and can enter the Champions League next season as long as they ensure they do not fall out of the top five. In this case, taking rotation to allow the main players to rest, even letting go of this game, and focusing on preparing for the life-and-death battle with Paris Saint-Germain seems to be the wisest choice for Arsenal.

However, Arteta obviously doesn't think so. Compared with his 0-1 loss to Paris Saint-Germain, only 2 of his 11 starters were adjusted, with Ben White replacing Timber at right back, while Thomas Patte, who was suspended from the Champions League, replaced Merino. The other 9 positions were not moved intact. But even so, Arsenal did not get the results they wanted. In the 34th minute of the first half of the game, Odgao made a straight pass and assisted, Rice calmly passed the goalkeeper and scored, and Arsenal led by 1 goal in the first half. However, after the change of sides, the situation on the field changed suddenly. In the 67th minute, Saimen scored a ball with a hand and Heysen headed the ball to equalize the score. Merino then appeared and replaced Rice. In the 75th minute, Tavenie headed the ball, Evannielsson scored by the back point, and Bournemouth successfully overtook 2-1. Although Arsenal later dispatched troops, Sterling, Zinchenko and Nvanelli took the game one after another, they eventually lost 1-2 at home.

In this game, the ball possession rate between the two teams remained the same. Arsenal scored 1 goal with 13 shots and 4 excellent scoring opportunities were wasted 3 times. Bournemouth, who played away, scored 2 goals in 9 shots and 2 goals, wasted 1 of his excellent chances of scoring. After this game, although Arsenal still ranks second, it is only 3 points ahead of Manchester City. In the last three rounds, they will have to fight against Liverpool and Newcastle. It is difficult to win the Premier League runner-up for three consecutive years.

In addition, let's talk about the data. Arteta only used 4 substitutions in this game, and Rice, who was the first to end, also played for 74 minutes. The other three substitutions were completed in the 86th minute. In other words, these players who just played against Paris Saint-Germain four days ago have now fought in the Premier League for 90 minutes. Four days later, they will rush to the stadium of Princes in Paris to start the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals. What they face is Paris Saint-Germain, where even the goalkeepers rotate and rest and accumulate strength in this round.

So, what was Arteta thinking in his head? In the post-match interview, Tars said that he just wanted to create a completely different atmosphere and momentum and prepare for the game to Paris. To put it bluntly, I want to use victory to boost morale and accumulate confidence for the Champions League turnaround. However, the season is coming to an end. At this critical moment, can chicken blood be more effective than having a good rest? If Arsenal is eventually eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain and missed the Champions League final, Arteta, with a clear brain circuit, is definitely the culprit.
