Chapter 227 Last Stand

  On April 29, the entire Arsenal team was ready to go to Spain.

  As the World Cup approaches, the football atmosphere in Europe is extremely strong, and billboards about the World Cup or the Champions League can be seen everywhere.

   Especially in Madrid, the capital of Spain.

  After getting off from Arsenal, they felt the strong hostility from the Madrid fans.

  When Arsenal's bus left the airport and headed towards the hotel where they stayed, there were many Real Madrid fans following on the road.

  They showed the Real Madrid team logo and jerseys towards the Arsenal bus, and in this way they wanted to give them a bad word.

   Lucy turned his head, not paying attention to these.

  Although they won at home, the pressure is still not small, especially after Suarez was injured, Arsenal's striker strength was greatly reduced.

  When facing a team like Real Madrid, if the striker cannot exert enough pressure, then the midfielder will have to bear even more pressure.

   "After everyone returns to the room to put their luggage, the bus will gather!"

   After completing the check-in, Wen Ge said loudly.

  Arsenal players did the same.

   After they went to the room to put their luggage, they went downstairs one after another and returned to the bus to go to the rented training base.

   The venue rented by Arsenal is Getafe's training venue.

  In the past, Atletico Madrid’s venues were used, but Atletico Madrid also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League this season, so they will not be rented out.

   The match between Atletico Madrid and Chelsea will be held on the second day, which is May 1!

  The entire training is conducted in a closed environment, and no one is willing to show their success at this time.

  Although many media wanted to interview Arsenal and observe their training, they were all rejected by Wenger.

  The content of the training is still the same, without much change.

  The mentality of the current Arsenal players is also more relaxed. After all, Wenger's attitude has shown that they have basically given up this season's Champions League.

   There is really no way!

  Suarez's injury made it difficult for Arsenal to move on.

  The next day, the Arsenal club bus headed for the famous Bernabeu Stadium under the **** of police cars.

  The semi-finals of the Champions League are still very famous. The police cars cleared the way and escorted them forward.

  There are helicopter bird's-eye views in the sky, and the broadcast method has been upgraded by more than one level throughout the season.

   After all, after entering the Champions League semi-finals, the four teams already represent the four strongest teams in Europe this season.

   Near the Bernabeu Stadium, you can already feel the hot atmosphere.

  Heat waves surged, cheers came and went.

   Waves of high-pitched shouts and singing poured into my ears.

  Real Madrid fans sang their team anthem and put pressure on Arsenal players in this way.

  Of course, there were also many Arsenal fans at the scene.

   But the number cannot be compared with Real Madrid fans, so the momentum is much weaker.

   Came to the locker room and simply changed their clothes, and they ran out to warm up.

  The same goes for the whole warm-up session.

  Arsenal players could feel the hostility from the Real Madrid fans, and the crazy boos made their mood more dignified.

  The warm-up is over, and the players return to the locker room.

   Wenger is already waiting here.

   "It's the same sentence, enjoy this game, there is no hard standard, whether you are satisfied or not is up to you to judge, don't let yourself feel regretful!"

   After Wenger finished speaking briefly, Vermaelen put on the captain's armband and got up.

  He will serve as the starter in today's game, so Lucky is not the captain on the field.

   Everyone followed Vermaelen to the player channel.

  Real Madrid players came a little slower.

   Lucky looked at the Real Madrid players. These guys looked more relaxed. I don’t know if it’s fake, but at least in terms of the thickness of the bench, Arsenal is incomparable.

  Although in the last round, Pepe replaced Suarez at the limit.

  But Real Madrid really didn't have much influence, but Arsenal was a little hurt.

   Lucy didn't know if it was an illusion.

  The Real Madrid players are all staggering their eyes. After every time they look at each other, the other party will quickly turn their heads and don't look at him.

   This made Le Kai feel a little puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it.

   At this time, the referee has already walked forward, and the time for admission is up.

   "Both sides are starting to enter! This is the second round of the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League semi-final. Real Madrid will play against Arsenal at home! I am the commentator He Wei!"

  "In the last round of the game, Arsenal won Real Madrid 2:1 at home. Now the two sides have switched home games. Arsenal challenged Real Madrid as an away team. This is a huge test for them!"

  "Whether they can defeat the powerful Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, and whether the Gunners can regain their glory, we will wait and see!"

After He Wei finished his opening remarks, his commentator partner Zhu Xiaoyu said: "Of course, we can focus more on the Chinese player Le Kai. In the last round, Le Kai performed very well. Can he continue this state? , whether to limit the BBC combination again at the Bernabeu, this is the most important issue for Arsenal to consider."

   "Yes! Suarez's injury has made this Arsenal experience the most difficult moment of the season, holding on is victory!"

  He Wei encouraged loudly.

   At this time, players from both sides also came to their respective halfs.

  The lineups of both sides are as follows.

  Real Madrid (4-3-3):

  Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas.

  Defenders: Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Coentrao.

  Midfielders: Khedira, Modric, Di Maria.

  Forwards: Bell, Benzema, Ronaldo.

  Arsenal (4-2-3-1):

  Goalkeeper; Szczesny.

  Defenders; Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen.

  Midfielders: Walcott, Lucky, Cazorla, Ramsey, Rosicky.

  Forward: Podolski.

   Lucy stood in his own half, surrounded by boos. He knew that most of them were enemies.

   Except for the inaudible cheers from the Arsenal away stands, all of them were voices from Real Madrid fans.

   It has been 3 years since I came to the top game.

  From a fledgling kid playing full-back, now Lucky has grown into one of Arsenal's most core players.

   And in this game, he will play the absolute core role.

  He doesn't know what he's feeling right now.

   There is excitement and pressure, but more of a feeling of eagerness to try.

Yes!

  The opponent is Real Madrid, and he is the absolute core of Arsenal.

   There is no better stage than this one!

   Lucky never thought his football career could be so exciting.

  But unconsciously, he has come to the stage that many people dream of, after all, he began to show himself here.

   Beep!

   The whistle sounded, and Real Madrid took the lead to kick off.

   After Real Madrid kicked off, Podolski and others rushed up.

  Real Madrid made an inversion in the backcourt, and Modric shuttled in his own half, sorting out the rhythm of the game.

  Seeing this scene, Le Kai suddenly shouted; "Go up and grab! Don't let them play football comfortably!"

   After speaking, the Arsenal players rushed up.

   They started pressing high in the opposing half.

   And this tactic really worked, and soon Real Madrid's passing rhythm began to look a little chaotic.

  Despite the blessing of Modric, he did not dare to pour the ball in the back line. Once the ball is lost, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Arsenal launched a high-position press, which is a very smart decision. We are very aware of Modric's ability in the midfield, especially in terms of organizational rhythm. Once he plays comfortably, the combat effectiveness of the entire Real Madrid will be doubled. !"

   After He Wei finished speaking, he saw Modric pass the ball to Bell.

  Bell took advantage of the situation and swung the ball in the direction of his breakthrough, putting himself in a state where he could start immediately.

   Ramsey followed Bell closely. Under Ramsey's interference, Bell could not fully start up.

   But that's enough.

  After Bell hit the bottom, he made a direct pass.

  C Ronaldo took off with Lucky and Mertesacker at the same time.

  C Ronaldo jumped very high, but Le Kai jumped earlier, and again used the method of lateral movement to directly push the ball out of the sideline.

   "Tsk!"

  C Luo fell to the ground and clicked his tongue in displeasure.

   Facing Le Kai's way of taking the lead in jumping, he really felt that he had made a mistake.

  This guy can always predict the highest hitting point of the ball in advance.

  Although he can judge the landing point, he can't find the highest hitting point like Lucky!
