Chapter 2022 No Suspense
Since they had already defeated Schalke 7 with a score of 1-04 in the first round, although it was actually the most important matchup in the Champions League, Arsenal did not need to face it with an all-main lineup.

Two days after the training resumed, the professor directly told the players that the next game will be rotated, and some players will get a chance to rest.

In this case, in fact, you don't need to guess too much. The few players who started at full attendance last week looked at each other and had a premonition that they might be on the bench.

So on the afternoon of the third day, when the team's starting lineup was drawn out, everyone was not surprised.

"Tomorrow's game we will play 4231."

The ball-holding formation was arranged directly at home. The professor's arrangement is very stable. With a total score of 7-1, they really don't need to expend too much energy in this game.

"Centre Giroud, left and right midfielders Chamberlain, Walcott."

All three substitute players appeared in the starting lineup, and the comeback Giroud obviously has the trust of the professor.

"Midfielder Rosicky."

The veteran Rosicky started again. As a regular rotation of the team's midfielder, his performance is still very guaranteed.

"Double defensive midfielders, Gustavo and Cazorla."

Now the Gunners' midfield can definitely be said to be full of talents. Everyone must show their enthusiasm in training to perform in order to start the position. This time, Gustavo and Cazorla stand out in the competition.

"Four backs, Gibbs, Squillac, Koscielny, Carvajal, goalkeeper Fabianski."

Good guy, in terms of back line and goalkeeper position, Wenger can be said to be full rotation, a complete backup back line and backup goalkeeper, it can be seen that the professor is determined to give his main players a good rest in this game.

So, with such a lineup consisting of all substitutes, Arsenal appeared at their home stadium, the Emirates Stadium, on the second afternoon.

Their opponent Schalke 04 originally came to the Emirates Stadium with a sense of death, but after the announcement of the starting lineups of both sides, the players of the Blue Miners obviously have a different mentality.

Although the opponent's rotation is a kind of contempt, it is more of an opportunity for them. Although they don't want to score seven goals at the Emirates Stadium to reverse their opponents, isn't it good to at least take away a victory here?
After all, that is Arsenal, the champion of the Champions League Triple Crown.

With such a mentality, as the referee blew the opening whistle, the Schalke 04 players rushed into the Gunners' half with great enthusiasm.

However, unlike Schalke 04's thinking, with Rosicky's constant scheduling and the cooperation of his teammates, Arsenal's ball possession tactics can be said to be executed in a tight manner, and there is no room for the opponent to steal the ball.

Under such circumstances, Schalke 04's choice of full pressure seemed a bit abrupt. When Rosicky seized the opportunity of the opponent's empty backcourt and kicked the ball to Giroud in the opponent's midfield, Giroud served as a fulcrum and directly distributed the ball from the right.

Walcott, who plugged in at a high speed, led to the cheers of the Emirates Stadium at a very fast speed. Under the bath of the fans' voices, Walcott immediately passed the full-back in front of him with a trick.

"Walcott made a pass from the bottom and the ball flew into the penalty area. Giroud followed up and scored with a header!!!"

"Oh!"

In the 7th minute of the game, the first goal of the game was born in this way. Arsenal, who put on a full bench lineup, smashed the last hope of Schalke 04 with their beautiful and fast attack.

"In fact, although it is Arsenal's second team, such a lineup can definitely advance in the Champions League group stage. Schalke 04 paid the price for their contempt."

Behind this price is that with the score behind by one goal, Schalke 04 can be described as extremely hard in the next game. While they have to beware of the Gunners' fast attack, they also want to look for opportunities to attack. This makes the entire team members exhausted.

The Arsenal team is obviously much more relaxed. Under the control of Rosicky's passing, their passing is carried out in an orderly manner. Under the completely suppressing ball possession rate, the Arsenal team firmly controls the situation on the field.

In the 307th minute of the game, Chamberlain received a ball from Rosicky on the left after halftime, and then the teenager cut directly in, and after a two-to-one cooperation with Giroud, he entered the penalty area.

"Facing the defender's pressure, he calmly pushed, opened up the shooting space, and hit the goal from a small angle! The ball flew into the goal from the gap between the goalkeeper and the left goal post."

The second goal was born in this way. In less than 10 minutes, it was 2-0. Arsenal once again established a huge advantage at home. Schalke 04 fell behind in two rounds to eight goals. Despair lingered on every Schalke player.

Until the end of the first half, the Schalke 04 team did not find any good opportunities, and they entered the intermission with a score of 0-2.

After the start of the second half, the Schalke team obviously changed to some extent. They no longer wandered around like headless chickens, but began to limit Arsenal's possession of the ball in key positions. This operation bought them back a lot of ball possession time.

In the 60th minute of the game, Huntelaar finally waited for his chance in the middle. After Draxler and Gretzka completed a beautiful pass and cut and appeared behind the Gunners' double midfielder defense and sent a through pass, the Dutch striker chose to shoot directly.

"The goal has been scored! Huntelaar scored a goal for the team, 1-2, Schalke 04 finally changed the embarrassment of not scoring a goal."

However, this is just a little bit of comfort for the Schalke people. In the 605th minute of the game, the professor made a substitution on the sidelines. Liu Feng, Neymar and Ronaldo all appeared on the field, and the final fantasy of the Schalke 04 team was also shattered.

In the second minute of game No.70, Neymar passed two people on the left and then passed the ball diagonally to find Ronaldo who was on the right. Ronaldo didn't stop the ball and made an inverted triangle in the air. Liu Feng, who followed up in the middle, directly blasted a super world wave.

The ball went straight into Schalke 04's goal, 3-1, and the suspense of this game was once again killed.

"The substitute also made contributions. This is Liu Feng, a man who played 1-0 with himself. He once again made the Schalke people understand what despair is."

The score did not change until the end of the game. The two rounds were 10-2, and Arsenal successfully advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a huge gap.
