Qin Xiong, who returned home in the early hours of the morning, was already drowsy. A large number of fans went to the airport to welcome Arsenal's triumphant return. Although they did not win a single game at El Madrigal, the team's advancement to the Champions League final still stimulated the nerves of the fans. Qin Xiong also took the time to sign autographs for some fans outside the airport to thank them.
As soon as he entered the house, Qin Xiong put down his backpack. Suddenly, someone hugged him from behind. At first, he was shocked, then immediately ecstatic. Qin Xiong turned around, held the cheek of the person behind him in the dark, and kissed her like rain.
"Why are you here?"
Sylvia hooked her arms around Qin Xiong's neck, raised the tip of her nose to Qin Xiong's, and said with a smile, "Because I miss you."
Qin Xiong hugged her delicate body tightly. It was just a hug, but Sylvia's breathing quickened. She said in Qin Xiong's ear, "I'm done with my graduation. From today onwards, I'll never leave you again!"
All the fatigue seemed to disappear into thin air. Qin Xiong bent down and picked her up, and rushed upstairs with her in his arms amidst her bell-like laughter …
Sylvia began to be responsible for Qin Xiong's daily life and health care, which made Qin Xiong very happy. It also made it more reasonable to keep his body in a healthy state.
After Arsenal advanced to the Champions League final, The Times published a major report: The Arsenal Factory's Dynasty!
The article pointed out that if Arsenal could complete the defense of the Premier League title this season and reach the top of the Champions League, then the Arsenal Factory, which Wenger had painstakingly operated for nearly a decade, would usher in the peak of a dynasty era!
Three consecutive Premier League titles, plus conquering Europe!
At the same time, it also looked into the future direction of Arsenal's development. Henry was still the leader of the team, but the mainstay of the new generation had quietly taken over.
Qin Xiong and Fàbregas were the backbone of the team.
And as long as Wenger could train Robin van Persie, Hleb, Flamini, Eboue and the other players, then Arsenal's future would be limitless!
Also, Arsenal's financial situation would gradually improve after the Emirates Stadium was put into use.
The article in The Times was very inspirational and was loved by gun fans.
However, Wenger was not optimistic because the team had not gained anything yet.
In the 36th round of the Premier League, Arsenal would be at Highbury to welcome the North London Derby. Tottenham Hotspur, who had made huge improvements from last season, was ranked fifth in the league and had no chance of entering the Champions League next season. However, the significance of the battle with Arsenal had already surpassed the points and the European competition. This was the venting of hatred.
Wenger was wary of injuries to the main players. Coupled with the exhaustion from the previous two Champions League semi-finals and last weekend's league match, the team's physical condition was on the verge of exhaustion. It was the end of the season anyway.
Therefore, Qin Xiong, Henry and Fàbregas were all shelved. Wenger sent a rather tough team to face Tottenham Hotspur.
Qin Xiong, Henry and Fàbregas appeared in the stands at Highbury. Apart from Fàbregas, Qin Xiong and Henry brought their respective female companions.
The three men sat together with Fàbregas in the middle. The three of them would communicate from time to time about everything that happened in the game, and the progress of the game was not wonderful.
Arsenal scored first with a header from a set piece. Then, Tottenham Hotspur equalized the score in the second half.
The mood in the stands was slightly anxious and tormented.
Arsenal only led Chelsea by three points in the league. If they could not get all three points in this game and Chelsea won, then it was possible that the last two rounds of the game would be extremely difficult and suspenseful.
The game finally ended with a score of 1: 1. Qin Xiong, Fàbregas and Henry stood up with wooden expressions and applauded routinely.
"It looks like we have to go all out to win the last two rounds."
Fàbregas said in a firm tone.
Henry just nodded in agreement.
Just as Qin Xiong was about to leave, Sylvia said to him, "It looks like Chelsea lost."
Qin Xiong, Fàbregas and Henry immediately turned to look at Sylvia. This made Sylvia feel a lot of pressure. She hurriedly confirmed with the other spectators around her whether the news she had just received was correct.
"Chelsea lost 0: 1 to Blackburn Rovers in the away game!"
The fifth in the league was Tottenham Hotspur, and the sixth in the league was Blackburn Rovers!
Blackburn Rovers had to fight for the European qualification. Chelsea did not have an easy time going to an away game. Mourinho's team finally lost this crucial battle!
Qin Xiong and the other two looked at each other, and in the end, they laughed as if relieved of a heavy burden.
Arsenal 1: 1 to Tottenham Hotspur.
Blackburn Rovers 1: 0 to Chelsea.
In total, Arsenal had extended their lead by one point to four points.
With two rounds left in the league, Arsenal only needed to win one league game to declare their title defense successful!
After the game, Wenger did not mention Chelsea's defeat. He only expressed regret for the game against Tottenham Hotspur, claiming that Arsenal had a chance to win the game but did not seize the opportunity.
Fleet Street was not impressed with Wenger's remarks and thought that Wenger was a little pretentious.
Qin Xiong and Henry did not play!
Arsenal almost lost the game, not almost won the game!
Go thank Blackburn Rovers.
It was really taking advantage of the situation!
Without Henry and Qin Xiong, Arsenal's strength on the field was at least reduced by half.
This was already a recognized fact.
After Chelsea, who lost the crucial battle, returned to Stamford Bridge, news of Abramovich's fury came from Stamford Bridge!
The knife hanging over Mourinho's head was already slowly falling!
Arsenal, who had rested for a week, welcomed the penultimate round of the Premier League at the end of April. Arsenal continued to hold the fort at home and welcomed the unambitious Wigan Athletic.
This was Highbury's official farewell game!
Arsenal would challenge the already relegated Sunderland at the Stadium of Light in the closing game of the Premier League.
It was hard to get a ticket for this game in Highbury, as if to pay tribute to the passing of an era. Many old fans over 60 years old also came to the stadium to watch Arsenal's final game in Highbury.
Arsenal's players were in high spirits and full of fighting spirit. They knew that winning this game would allow them to successfully defend their title. Three consecutive Premier League titles would also usher in an era of Premier League gunners on par with Manchester United.
It was a sunny afternoon and the weather was refreshing. Qin Xiong, wearing Arsenal's number 11, held the ball boy's hand and followed Henry into the Highbury stadium with his head held high. They were greeted with a standing ovation from the fans.
In addition to bidding farewell to Highbury, the fans also hoped that Highbury's final game could bring an end to an era with the title.
Qin Xiong looked around the stadium. He still could not have Henry's complicated expression.
Henry had played for Highbury for seven years and was a veteran of the team. He must have a special feeling for this stadium.
However, Qin Xiong had only been here for two years. It was impossible to say that he had many lingering sorrows when they parted.
Instead, he was looking forward to leaving as soon as possible. He was looking forward to the arrival of a new era. He was also looking forward to the beginning of the next era in the Arsenal Factory, where he could play the role of a leader.
