Portal [link="http://www.eurofootball.com"]"EuroFootball.com"[/link] - the section "Fans' Thoughts"! Before the most important, interesting, and most buzz-generating matches, we speak to fans who are not indifferent to the teams entering the battle.
A reader of the website supporting the London team, Paulius, briefly reviewed the upcoming Carling Cup final, in which the 'gunners' will have the opportunity to end a trophy drought of more than five years. Arsenal's opponent in this final will be the club.
Finally, the long-awaited opportunity has come for both Arsenal players and all fans of the team to satisfy their hunger for titles, but I would evaluate this opportunity very cautiously.
In the press, the 'gunners' say they are ready to give 110% in the final, but Wenger mentioned that players should be rested for upcoming more important matches. To some extent, I could agree with the coach, but this season, everyone following the team's game could notice that excessive caution brings painful results.
Evaluating the chances of the 'blues,' I dare say that the chances of "hurting" the optimistically minded 'gunners' are not as small as they seem. The best example could be Arsenal's draw with Newcastle eleven - when you play against a team with an English mentality, even a weaker opponent is very dangerous, so I will repeat again - caution is needed.
I have been following Arsenal's game for quite some time and I know that Wenger is full of surprises, so despite all the critical reviews and media speculations that Cesc won't play, I hope that his performance could be similar to what the Spaniard showed in the last season's match at the "Emirates" stadium against Birmingham Aston Villa team (remember that after coming on as a substitute with a groin injury not completely healed, Fabregas scored 2 goals in 35 minutes and created a chance for the third and was substituted again), as he is a true engine of the club.
I hope that my intuition will not fail me and there will be no extension, and everything will be resolved during the main match. For those reading, I wish you attractive matches, many goals, and most importantly good emotions.
