Chapter 890 Neuer on the bench
The Champions League knockout round is a two-round system, which gives players on both sides sufficient buffer space in the event. Even if they perform poorly in the first round, they may stage a miraculous comeback in the next round.
This has also created many famous scenes in the Champions League.
For example, Nokap Miracle, etc.
However, the lengthening of the front line also caused the nerves of the players on both sides to keep jumping. Coupled with the intensive schedule, the two-way consumption of body and spirit made many players with poor mentality unbearable.
This also makes the Champions League a stage for those big-time players to play.
A good attitude can lead to better performance.
Arsenal have announced their 18-man squad before the game.
Saka entered the Champions League list for the first time, which also made the little guy very excited.
Of course he didn't know it, and this was a decision he had to make.
Mourinho has the intention of promoting young players, but he doesn't want them to invest in such intense games prematurely.
Neither mentally nor physically can be guaranteed.
The Champions League arena is home to some stable veterans except for those monsters against the sky.
And many young players are abolished everywhere because they cannot bear the pressure of the Champions League.
Saka is very talented, Mourinho does not want to train this little guy to waste.
But under the current circumstances, he needs a substitute for Aubameyang.
Yes!
Aubameyang's substitute will be gone.
In the FA Cup and the league, the injury situation of Arsenal's substitutes is actually more serious than that of the main players.
These players who are eager to express themselves in a anxious state of mind often bring bonuses from injuries.
This is also the reason why Saka entered the big list early.
Although there is a high probability that Saka will not get a chance to play, it is also a good opportunity for Saka to watch the Champions League live.
He has been looking forward to this top European stage for a long time.
But Saka soon calmed down, and he noticed that compared to usual, the expressions of these awesome main players were all too serious.
All of them boarded the bus with sullen faces, and there was almost no communication during the period.
Saka wanted to communicate with other people and gain some knowledge, but due to the atmosphere, he could only sit quietly.
Soon the bus arrived at the Emirates Stadium.
Saka got off the bus with the players.
Surrounded by rabid Arsenal fans, they were calling the players by name.
Vaguely, Saka seemed to hear someone calling him, and Saka was very happy about it.
His performances in the FA Cup have finally caught the attention of discerning Arsenal fans, which is a nice development.
After entering the locker room, everyone put on their jerseys silently.
The main players are all wearing training jackets over the game jerseys, and these are the starting players.
The substitute, like Saka, wears trousers, so that the body will not cool down quickly after warming up.
When entering the court to warm up, the tense atmosphere suddenly rushed to the face.
This is different from the scope of the FA Cup and even the league.
Opposite is Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga overlord!
For these giants, Saka is naturally thunderous.
But to be honest, he hasn't even played for the giants in the Premier League, let alone the giants in the Champions League.
He also understands that there is still a big gap between himself and these people.
But he is not frustrated, he is still young, he has the opportunity to catch up with them and even surpass them.
In this regard, Saka is convinced!
"This is Sky Sports TV. The second round of the UEFA Champions League round of [-] is about to take place. Arsenal will play Bayern Munich at home!"
"For this game, we still invited the professor to explain the game!"
Wenger pushed his glasses and waved his hand as a greeting.
Ferguson did not come to the commentary stand. Ferguson's health was not particularly good. After the first commentary, his wife was not allowed to step on the commentary stand again.
As for Wenger, he is still invited, and he also wants to explain this Arsenal game.
"In the last round of the game, Bayern Munich tied Arsenal 2:2 at home, and Lewandowski helped Bayern equalize the score at the last moment."
"Professor, what do you think both sides need to pay attention to in the last round of the game?"
Facing Paul Mosen's question.
Wenger talked eloquently; "For Arsenal, they must ensure their defense. Although Arsenal's defense is very strong, Lewandowski broke Arsenal's goal twice in the last round. This is what they must do. Be vigilant and solve the problem, Arsenal can't give Lewandowski such a chance to score!"
"The Pole's ability to control chances in front of goal is too good!"
In this regard, Paul Mosen and Dixon also nodded in agreement.
Anyone who has watched the last game can understand Lewandowski's ability to control opportunities.
"As for Bayern Munich, their midfielders must show their voices. Once they are suppressed too much, they will be led by the nose by Arsenal. Once the rhythm is deprived, Bayern Munich's advancement will also be affected. Stage obstacles, let alone sending the ball to Lewandowski!"
"In fact, there is no big problem between the two teams, and the mistakes are negligible. This game still depends on the performance of the players themselves. Under the established tactics, what kind of performance they can show!"
"The two key players are still Lewandowski and Kai!"
After Wenger's general analysis, the camera also shifted to the player channel.
Arsenal and Bayern Munich players are already standing on both sides of the player tunnel.
The coaches of both sides also shook hands friendly after walking out of the channel.
However, this handshake still cannot conceal the smell of gunpowder in the Champions League.
The starting lineup of both sides is as follows.
Arsenal (4-3-3):
Goalkeeper: Martinez.
Defenders: Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.
Midfielders: Kanter, Lucky, Ramsey.
Forwards: Aubameyang, Lukaku, Mane.
Bayern Munich (4-2-3-1):
Goalkeeper: Ulreich.
Defenders: Alaba, Jule, Boateng, Kimmich.
Midfielders: Ribery, Thiago, Ronaldo, Tolisso, Muller.
Forward: Lewandowski.
"Bayern's goalkeeper is Ulreich?"
Paul Mosen looked surprised.
At this time, the camera also turned to Bayern Munich's bench, and they saw that Bayern captain Neuer was pressed on the bench.
Neuer's expression was very flat, and he couldn't see any emotional fluctuations, but they didn't expect Neuer to sit on the bench.
Wenger on the side couldn't help chuckling.
"Only Heynckes can suppress Bayern Munich and let Neuer sit on the bench willingly!"
In fact, Neuer's performance in the last round of the Champions League was a disaster.
Lucky's hanging goal and penalty completely destroyed Neuer's confidence.
It can be said that Neuer was a little afraid of Le Kai at this time, and even talked to a psychiatrist about it.
Based on Neuer's state, Heynckes had to put Neuer on the bench and replace him with the more stable Ulreich.
Of course, Neuer's state is not bad, but when he faces Arsenal, or when facing Lucky, he will make a lot of wrong judgments, which will eventually lead to conceding the ball.
"The captain kicked Neuer to the bench?"
Saka said with a look of shock.
Neuer is currently the No. [-] goalkeeper in Europe. Such an awesome person was kicked on the bench by their captain. How strong is the captain?
This was completely beyond Saka's understanding.
"There should be some other reason!"
Xhaka looked at the Bayern Munich bench and said.
Even though he said so, this scene had a great impact on him.
Lucky was already very strong in his mind, but now he was beyond the category of being strong.
Being able to kick Neuer to the bench is simply unimaginable.
The fans in the stands also discovered this, but unlike the players' astonishment, they only felt that Lucky was amazing.
All of a sudden, the entire Emirates Stadium started to shout Lucky's name neatly.
Le Kai in the arena looked at Neuer with a little surprise in his eyes.
He really didn't expect that Heynckes would be so bold to put Neuer on the bench.
However, this kind of thing is probably only possible for this meritorious old coach. If it were someone else, Neuer would not have to lead the team to start a rebellion?
However, Heynckes dared not make a rebellion against his benefactor!
For this reason, I can only accept my fate obediently!
