Chapter 49 Champions League! Bayern Munich! (10th Update, Please Subscribe First!)
"It's so damn expensive!"
Billy sat in the stands, grumbling.
Tickets for today's game are extremely expensive. For a Category A event, the Champions League knockout round, the entire ticket price has almost quadrupled. It is estimated that there is no more expensive home ticket than Arsenal in London, including the Premier League.
But the complaints are complaints. Arsenal have performed very well recently and they are willing to spend the money.
If the team keeps this momentum, they don't mind spending more money, just to help the team pay off the loan to build the stadium quickly.
Billy poured wine into his mouth and looked at the crowd that kept pouring in, his heart was burning.
This Champions League knockout round is a highly anticipated competition.
Arsenal plays Bayern Munich at home.
Bayern Munich's performance this season has been terrifying, almost beating its opponents in the league and Champions League in turn.
If it were in the past, Arsenal would probably have surrendered with their hands up when facing Bayern Munich like this.
But this game is different!
On the defensive end, they have Lucky, Ramsey, Vermaelen, Mertesacker and many other good players.
On the offensive end, there are Suarez, Podolski, Walcott and midfielder Rosicky who has returned from injury.
These have become their certain confidence.
They believe that these players will not let them down.
At least at the Emirates Stadium, they will be able to defend the dignity of their home court.
Before I knew it, the stadium was packed with people.
The whole stand was packed to capacity.
Meadows came to the front of the stands and yelled toward the stands.
"Pick up your flag!"
Immediately, Arsenal flags began to stand one by one in the east stand, and in a moment, a forest of flags appeared.
The flags were flying up and down, accompanied by the jumping fans in black jerseys, and the high-pitched singing.
Thrilling singing came from the speakers.
This is Arsenal's anthem "Hot Stuff".
【Start a new season, nothing can stop us! 】
【Let us shout together】
KAI!!
KAI! !
KAI! !
【He is everything! 】
[Let us enter Suarez’s speed world! 】
【The light that Vermaelen makes our hearts bloom! 】
[The Gunners make Arsenal the favorite to win the championship! 】
[Let us witness how Arsenal shows itself! 】
【go ahead! Arsenal, you are the favorite to win the championship! 】
【Let's do it again】
"KAI!!! KAI!!! KAI!!!" Billy shouted excitedly along with the whole audience, turning to Mabius and saying, "Sharman did a great job, I like the sound of calling Kai like that. ”
At this time, the cheers on the scene suddenly rose.
Players from both sides have begun to enter the stage.
"Now our captain!"
George Adams' voice rose extremely high and became passionate:
The Arsenal fans at the scene also shouted: "Vermaelen!!"
Along with such a roar, Vermaelen's photos and information appeared on the big screen at the scene.
The starting Arsenal players shouted out one by one.
Meadows, Billy and others were also shouting enthusiastically in the east stand.
When Rosicky was called, the cheers became a little louder.
No one knows how eagerly they are waiting for the return of these midfielders.
Rosicky's return is a welcome relief for Arsenal, which to a certain extent makes up for the pressure on the midfield.
At this moment, the scene began to become noisy.
Arsenal fans seemed to know who was coming next, as they stared intently at the tunnel.
George Adams also grinned. He relaxed the muscles around his mouth slightly. After repeated contact, he was finally able to call out Lucky's last name correctly.
"Next up is our number four!!! YUE!!!"
"KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI!!!!!——"
The fans in the stands shouted Lucky's name.
Among them, black fans such as Billy and Meadows shouted the loudest victory.
The media has said that even the pickiest Arsenal fans cannot refuse such Lucky.
This is also true. Black jersey fans are picky enough, but they still love Lucky enthusiastically.
suck! ! ! !
In the stands, Zheng Xin pursed his lips tightly and clenched his fists.
The heat wave rolling around him made him understand what the boy who was walking out of the tunnel meant to this stadium.
At this moment, Zheng Xin thought of a word.
hero!
yes! Lucky showed up when Arsenal needed a hero the most.
At the age of 18, he carried this wealthy team on a difficult journey!
His steals, interceptions and assists helped Arsenal move forward.
He deserves such cheers!
"Arsenal this season has completed its self-salvation after collapsing at the beginning of the season! This is an extraordinary season for Arsenal. In this season, they have refreshed the lowest ranking in the standings during Wenger's era, and at the same time also Created the most ups and downs of the chase drama! ”
Paul Merson, the famous commentator of Sky Sports, laughed; "Last season, Arsenal had at least one Premier League golden boot, Robin van Persie, but this season they only have an 18-year-old Kai!"
"Hey! What's wrong with being 18!"
Madison on the side said dissatisfied.
Paul Merson nodded; "Yes! 18 years old! This is the point!"
Immediately, both of them laughed.
Obviously, Paul Merson is in CUE Lucky, and there is no possibility that he will discredit Arsenal and Lucky. The reason is very simple. Paul Merson was also a player of Arsenal.
At this time, the starting lineups of both sides appeared.
Bayern Munich (4-2-3-1):
Goalkeeper: Neuer.
Defenders: Alaba, Dante, Van Buyten, Lahm.
Midfielders: Schweinsteiger, Martinez, Thomas Muller, Kroos, Robben.
Forward: Mandzukic.
Arsenal (4-2-3-1):
Goalkeeper: Szczesny.
Defenders: Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen.
Midfielders: Ramsey, Lucky, Rosicky, Podolski, Walcott.
Forward: Suarez.
The return of Rosicky and Koscielny makes Arsenal's defense more complete.
It also reduces the defensive pressure on Lucky to a great extent.
And in terms of organization, the return of Rosicky also means that Arsenal has resumed their passing and controlling style of play!
In the Sina Sports Live Room, in the Champions League channel, Zhan Jun said excitedly; "The left wing is the highlight! Wenger put Lucky in the left defensive midfielder position, obviously targeting Robben for defense. Lucky's steals and interceptions in the Premier League are very good. We can look forward to whether Lucky can limit Robben!"
Coach Zhang Lu sighed; "This is also a helpless way. At present, Arsenal can only try to rely on Lucky, who has the most stable defense. Except for Lucky, others are basically out of the game."
In the stadium, Lucky kept taking deep breaths.
After entering the Champions League knockout stage, the atmosphere was completely different.
Two rounds of decisive games, the loser is eliminated.
The cruel survival of the fittest system makes the game full of tension.
Of course, this tension is mainly permeated on the Arsenal side.
During the preparation stage, Lekai kept his eyes on the bald old man Robben opposite.
Robben, 29 years old, is at the peak of his career.
Don't look at his bald head and look old.
But he is indeed only 29 years old.
It is extremely difficult to limit Robben now, and even Lekai is not particularly confident.
He kept taking deep breaths to adjust.
At this time, the referee had already left the center circle, and the game was about to start.
Beep! ! !
With the whistle, the game started.
Arsenal took the lead.
As soon as the game started, the players of Bayern Munich pounced on them like hungry wolves.
Arsenal quickly passed the ball back.
When the ball came to Vermaelen's feet, he passed the ball to Lekai.
Lekai and Vermaelen were on a parallel line, and Koscielny was protecting them on the side.
Wenger gathered Arsenal's strongest defensive players on the left to limit Robben's performance.
While waiting for the ball, Lekai turned his head and took a look.
He was shocked by just this one look.
Old man Luo was very fast, rushing towards him.
Lucky hurriedly ran to catch the ball, and before Robben, he controlled the ball and passed it back.
Robben still didn't give up, and rushed towards Vermaelen.
Lucky pulled towards the sideline.
But Vermaelen passed the ball to Koscielny to complete the transfer.
Lucky then saw Robben stop.
Lucky pursed his lips, not feeling very happy!
Robben gave him a blow at the beginning!
"That's close!" Sky Sports commentator Paul Mossen exhaled, saying; "Kai obviously hasn't adapted to the rhythm of the Champions League knockout stage."
Dixon nodded and said; "That's right! The rhythm of the knockout stage is different from that of the group stage, which will speed up many things, such as passing and cooperation, plus Bayern Munich's pressing pressure in the frontcourt, which makes every newcomer who has just entered this stage seem at a loss!"
Lucky was indeed shocked.
But he quickly adapted.
It's nothing more than stepping forward to receive the ball. No matter how fast or slow the ball is, you must step forward to receive the ball. Waiting for the ball in place will be in danger of being intercepted!
After several backcourt passes, Arsenal passed the ball to Rosicky.
Rosicky tried to organize, but he was probably not in a stable state because he had just returned to the court, so he lost the ball under the joint defense of Muller and Martinez.
After getting the ball, Bayern Munich launched a counterattack directly.
Schweinsteiger passed the ball to Kroos, who passed it to Robben, who was ready to start on the wing.
The pace was amazingly fast.
But just when Robben wanted to start, a roadblock suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Hey! Got you!"
Lucky suddenly appeared in front of Robben, which Robben did not expect.
At the same time, he also interrupted his starting rhythm, but he did not think about passing the ball, but gently waded the ball with his left foot, looking for opportunities.
Lucky's body sank slightly, and he understood that Robben was trying to support his weight.
This time, he must fight back forcefully, otherwise, this guy will definitely break through the left side.
"Here it comes!!"
Paul Mossen yelled. He didn't expect that the offensive and defensive duel between Robben and Lucky would come so quickly.
But Robben's posture was to break through, and the two must decide the winner.
Robben's footwork was very fast, sometimes running, sometimes stopping suddenly, and sometimes changing direction.
But he couldn't get rid of Lucky.
Lucky was nailed three meters in front of him, blocking the way to cut in.
"Want me to overtake to the outside?"
Robben narrowed his eyes slightly, then shook his feet twice in a row and passed the ball to the right.
"Now!"
In a flash, Lekai decisively rushed to grab the ball.
The arch of his foot was just on the path of Robben's dribbling forward, and the ball hit Lekai's arch of his foot and bounced out of the sideline.
Robben looked at the ball rolling out of the sideline; he was stunned for a moment.
He thought his fake move had fooled this kid, but
Lekai stood up and shouted to the front; "Retreat! Defend!"
