Chapter 89: Arsenal is so fierce? The Champions League quarter-finals kicked off. The Olympic Stadium was really full! More than 90,000 spectators poured in! The security department of the city hall could not stop them either. Normally they only allow teams to sell 70%-80% of the tickets, but Arsenal fans from other cities in the Apennines and Nigeria used various methods to break this restriction. Arsenal, which is fighting for the top four, has infinite charm. As long as the Premier League teams make a slight improvement in their results, fans from all over the world will strongly support them. The bars, streets and squares outside the stadium were not covered in red and yellow, and dense Gunners flags fluttered in the wind. Hosts from major media outlets led photographers around and interviewed fans. The camera occasionally drifts to the hot female fans. "We are from France and we are all Arsenal fans!" "Which team do you think is better? Of course Arsenal, it's a close match."

"Arsenal has completed the tactical reform after the departure of Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie and others, and will not have the same system iteration problem as Real Madrid." "The head coach is in good health and won't be in the same situation as Barcelona and Vilanova. Even if he can't direct the game, we still have Bould and a smart Arteta on the field!" As they were talking, the female fans started singing Arsenal's team song. Studio. - 【This microphone is big and round. 】 - [These female fans are very knowledgeable about football, and the media are also optimistic about this match being a 50-50 match.] - 【Nine and a half vs. passing and cutting storm! 】 - [What's going on? The first handicap is actually a tie? ] - 【Arsenal is the nemesis of Serie A teams. 】 - [No matter what, let's go all in on Roma! Although Gao Qi is not good in the league, he is a super handicap king in the Champions League. ] Pre-match press conference. Enrique shook hands enthusiastically with his idol. He is the most confident person in Roma Club. He was silently calculating how many goals he could win against Arsenal tonight while sitting in the interview booth and grinning foolishly. "Arsenal are an opponent that deserves respect." "I beat Barcelona and Real Madrid at the Olympic Stadium with complete tactical restraint." "Roma will continue its dominance at home tonight." "Red wolf and gunman? You can't use the metaphor of prey and hunter." The other side. Wenger smiled kindly. "Roma has a strong offensive firepower and a very reasonable lineup structure. It has experienced and famous stars like Totti and De Rossi, as well as young talents like Gao, Morata and Lamela." "It will be a difficult game for Arsenal and we are ready for it." "How to limit the rotation of Gao Qi and Totti is a philosophical question." The player queue is about to enter the tunnel. The veterans from both sides greeted each other in a friendly manner.

Podolski has been playing against Totti, De Rossi and others at the national team level for many years. The former Prince of Cologne has calmed down a lot and will no longer hit his teammates. Just based on the statistics exposed by the media: this guy hit his teammates seven times; the most famous incident was slapping German captain Michael Ballack in public during the European qualifiers. Two young players, Wilshere and Ramsey, looked around at the sculptures and showed surprised expressions from time to time. The one who attracted the most attention was the "German Giant" Mertesacker in the Arsenal team. Florenzi next to him could only look up at him Gao Qi bent down and adjusted his shin guards. The system prompt sounded quietly. [Ding! Mission triggered: Red Wolf and Gunner.] [Mission Brief: Is Arsenal that powerful? Give them a good beating at the Olympics!] [Mission Reward: Bergkamp Platinum Treasure Box. ] The Champions League star-shaped flag slowly withdrew from the center circle. The referee team led the players from both teams out of the tunnel. The Olympic Stadium suddenly erupted in cheers. "Zhuangdianertai! Zhuangdianertai! Good evening, audience friends." "Now live for you is the 2012/13 Champions League quarter-final." "Roma at home against Arsenal." "According to estimates, the ratings for this match will be very close to those of previous finals! Television stations in 82 countries and regions around the world will broadcast it live simultaneously!" "Can Wenger continue to be known as the nemesis of Serie A?" "How high can Enrique lead this Roma team?" "We'll see." Recently. Because Enrique arranged the "Gao Qi brushed data" tactics when playing against weak teams in the Serie A, the Chinese media praised him to the sky. The title of unparalleled coach appeared in the reports again. Various small stories emerged one after another, such as the story of how Enrique was able to recognize Gao Qi with his keen eyes, and how he held Gao Qi's hands tightly in times of crisis. There was even more explosive news: Enrique is likely to coach the Chinese national football team. This even caused the TV commentator to add a filter to Enrique. "The following introduces you to the starting lineups of both sides." "Roma, wearing the red and yellow home jersey, lined up in a 4-4-2 formation!" "Goalkeeper: Stekelenburg." "Defenders: Florenzi, Castan, Benatia, Balzaretti."

"Midfield: De Rossi, Totti, Pjanic, Lamela." "Forwards: Morata, Gao Qi." Studio. - [It's stable. Enrique didn't play any tricks. 】 - 【Come on Gao Qi, try to break Messi's Champions League goal record last season in two games. 】 - [Yesterday Bayern beat Schalke 4:0. I hope there will be more goals in tonight's game.] "Arsenal, wearing the dark purple Champions League away jersey, lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation!" "Goalkeeper: Szczesny." "Defenders: Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen." "Double defensive midfielder: Wilshere, Arteta." "Central midfielders: Ramsey, Podolski, Cazorla." "Forward: Giroud." Studio. - [Giroud, give me some strength. I can't stand the empty goal all the time. What a waste.] - 【Giroud in the north, Morata in the south.】 - [Arsenal has learned from Barcelona's lesson. With only one defensive midfielder, they are doomed to be beaten by Roma. Wenger's first move is top-notch.] - [Wow, is that Sagna's wife in the camera? She is so beautiful! Sagna is so ugly, but he married such a beautiful wife! ] - 【I hope Gao Qi can learn from Saniya. 】 The director's camera occasionally turned to the Arsenal family stands. Sania's wife, Ludwin, attracted the attention of all viewers in front of the TV. Accompanied by the referee's whistle. The game officially begins. Arsenal have the ball. Giroud kicked the ball back to the backcourt. Roma did not launch a frantic rush into half the field to press, but instead maintained their formation and moved forward steadily to press. After several quick passes, the ball came to Wilshere's feet. The Arsenal fans in the stands immediately launched a huge wave of cheers. "Just rush forward!" "Wilshire!" "Two years ago, in the battle to defend the Earth, I fought single-handedly against the peak Ha Baibu of the Great British Empire!" "Unparalleled sense of space with the ball!" "He can make Arsenal's passing and cutting system... oops, the ball is lost." Lamela made a flying tackle and poked the ball away from the British star's feet. Snapped! Roma failed to control the ball. Arteta responded in time, passed the ball and reorganized the attack. Wilshere thumped the turf in anger.

It seemed as if all his luck was exhausted in the "War to Defend the Earth" that year. Not only was he plagued by injuries since then, but he also dragged his sick leg to nightclubs to play with young models and loved smoking. Arteta made his debut at La Masia youth training camp. A clever turn and pull of the ball avoided Pjanic. Lift your finger. Send a long pass! "Great vision." "The offensive direction is very reasonable, hitting the weak side." "Many excellent Spanish midfielders cannot play as starters in the national team." "There's nothing we can do. The Matadors have too many talented midfielders." The football fell to the side. Vermaelen stopped the ball gracefully. He was dreaming of playing for Arsenal all day long, but unfortunately there were too many injuries this season and Barcelona suspended transfer negotiations with Arsenal. Cazorla dived into the left flank of the Roma defense like a loach. His nickname is "low-profile peak Xavi". His dynamic breakthroughs and defense are even better than Xavi's. Snapped! The talented Spanish midfielder with balanced feet is like a black glove pulling the trigger of a pistol. In an instant, the Gunners launched a passing and cutting storm at the Olympic. The ball felt like a hot foot touch. The grass felt like it was burning my feet as I ran back and forth. Ramsey, who was advancing in the middle, touched the ball again. The ball was passed back to Cazorla who dodged into the ribs. Still one touch of the ball. Find Giroud in the middle. Although Giroud looks like a handsome, clumsy guy, he is very agile with his feet. He used his body to press down Roma center back Castan and gently lifted his foot. Snapped! Continuous one-foot pass. It was passed to Wilshere who came in from behind! The football flew up and down, and its trajectory was like drawing a picture. "A mercury-like attack!" “Beautiful football!” "Pass and Cut Storm!"

Arsenal's attack does not care about the width of the pass and cut. In the independent attack phase, the overall speed will be increased when advancing to the 30-meter area. By shortening the running distance of the attackers and the passing distance of the football, a passing and cutting storm will be launched that will make the opponent's defense unable to react. shrink. Thrust. It’s like a kind of boxing in Chinese Kung Fu, grab a point, da da da da! Wilshere dribbled the ball into the right side of Roma's penalty area. Benatia blocked it in time. The British star picked up the ball. The ball bounces towards the penalty spot. "Big Giroud!!!" "193's big striker!" Enrique was panicking. Wenger subconsciously covered his chest. What was Giroud's shooting level during this period? Morata's level. Castan was not panicked at all, he blocked the shooting angle of the Arsenal striker. Body fit. Prevent the opponent from jumping. The trajectory of the football made Roma's defense relax a little. The quality of the transmission is too low. It was all passed behind Giroud! next moment. A stunning scene took place. The strong Giroud was stuck in front and unable to turn around. Swing your right foot back sharply. Amid the astonished gazes of the audience, he actually made a "scorpion tail" shooting motion! Snapped! The heel kicked the football! An elegant arc was drawn in the Roma penalty area. "Wow!!!" “What great physical flexibility!”

“So imaginative.” "As expected of Beijilu, Nanmo, and Nangaoqi!" Goalkeeper Stekelenburg was unable to react. His view was blocked by his teammates. wrong. Even if there are no teammates blocking it, it is difficult to judge the path of the ball with this frontal back-heel shot! Bah! The football hit the crossbar. Fell into the net! 0:1! ! ! The whole audience was stunned! Arsenal’s fake striker actually scored a magical goal? Giroud stood there for two seconds. Then he rushed to the corner flag area, slid to his knees, and got three bars! Raise your hands high and make a superman pose! Command area. Enrique pulled his hair in frustration. what happened. How could Arsenal score first? Ivan quickly signaled to the players not to panic! The bald assistant coach has already predicted that tonight's game will be a goal-scoring battle. The other side. Wenger smiled and raised his fists. The tactical idea of ​​seizing the first opportunity has been achieved. By scoring first, we can make up for our slow adjustment on the spot. "Giroud scored as soon as the game started!" "Arsenal's tactical system has survived the pain period after losing Robin van Persie, Fabregas, Nasri and Adarshan Song and is now in good health." "The pressure is on Roma." "Someone has to step up and equalize the score as soon as possible." "Roma fans don't have to worry too much, Gao Qi is in very good form recently." The narrator sounded worried. Coach Zhang chuckled twice and remained optimistic. There's nothing we can do about this ball. Roma's defense has done a good job, and Castan accurately found the end point of the passing and cutting storm. It’s a pity that Giroud kicked a wonderful goal.

The game restarted in the middle circle. The Roma players were not impatient and their morale was not affected. After several Champions League games, the mentality of the main players has been honed to be very stable. "Gao Qi passed the ball back to Castan." "Go sideways." "Roma's passing strategy hasn't changed much, but it's working." “Arsenal didn’t have many people involved in the press.” (End of this chapter)
