Last season, Mourinho appeared serious in the Europa League with United because of the position of Red Devils in the Premier League Premier League prone. Sure enough, Manchester United failed to finish in the top four.
But, MU remains eligible to appear in the Champions League this season as a Europa League champion. Since last season, the team that won the Europa League is entitled to a ticket to qualify for the Champions League.
Arsenal's fate this season is similar to last season's MU. The Gunners began to hardly hope to finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League. Currently Cannon London is in sixth position with a margin of eight points from Chelsea in fourth position.
Wenger began to think to focus on Lgia Europa. The French coach will play the strongest team against Ostersunds in the first leg of 32 Europa League on Friday (16/2/2018) early morning GMT at Jamtkraft Arena.
Previously, Wenger only played a team of coatings in the group stage. The policy is no longer valid in the autumn.
"The pressure is getting higher and we will try to get away as far as we can," said Wenger, quoted by the Daily Mail as saying: "We are now in the knockout stage, so the risks are getting higher and we are ambitious in all competitions.
"We still have to focus on English Premier League, but we still bring experienced teams to the match later," he said.
Thats a good strategy. Arsenal should go for Europa . If can come out as a champion, they will automatically eligible for the UCL next season.
But there is A. Madrid also who will fight hard for the trophy.
yes
not an easy matter to win the European Cup. many good teams are still involved there...
