Chapter 227
On April 4, the entire Arsenal team was ready to go to Spain.
With the World Cup approaching, 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 disembarking 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 Real Madrid's team logo and jerseys towards the Arsenal bus, and in this way they wanted to show them off.
Le Kai 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 assemble!"
After completing the check-in, Wen Ge said loudly.
The 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 ground.
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 played on the second day, May 5st!
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 has made it difficult for Arsenal to move forward.
The next day, the Arsenal club bus headed for the famous Bernabéu stadium under the escort of police cars.
The semi-finals of the Champions League is still very famous. The police cars cleared the way and escorted them forward.
There is even a helicopter bird's-eye view 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.
Approaching the Bernabeu Stadium, you can already feel the hot atmosphere.
The heat wave surged, and cheers came and went.
Waves of high-pitched shouts and singing poured into my ears.
Real Madrid fans sang their team anthem, putting pressure on the 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.
When they came to the locker room and changed their clothes briefly, they ran out to warm up.
The same goes for the whole warm-up session.
The Arsenal players could feel the hostility from the Real Madrid fans, and the frantic boos made their mood even more dignified.
The warm-up is over and the players return to the locker room.
Wenger has been waiting here.
"It's still 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 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.
The crowd followed Vermaelen to the player tunnel.
The Real Madrid players came a little slower.
Lucky looked at the Real Madrid players. The expressions of these guys were more relaxed. I don't know if they were pretending, 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 impact. On the other hand, Arsenal was a bit hurt.
Le Kai didn't know if it was an illusion.
The Real Madrid players are all staggering their eyes, and after every time they look at each other, the other party will quickly turn their heads and stop looking 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 entering the field is up.
"Both sides are starting to enter! This is the second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final in the 2013-2014 season. 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 at home. Arsenal challenged Real Madrid as an away team. This is a huge test for them!"
"Whether they can beat 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 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 made this Arsenal experience the most difficult moment of the season. Persistence is victory!"
He Wei encouraged loudly.
At this time, players from both sides also came to their respective halfs.
The lineup of both sides is 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.
Le Kai 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 the voices came from Real Madrid fans.
It has been 3 years since I came to the top arena.
From a fledgling kid playing full-back, Le Kai has now grown into one of Arsenal's most core players.
And in this game, he will play the absolute core role.
He didn't know what he was feeling right now.
There is excitement, 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 before he knew it, he had come to the stage that many people dream of, after all, he began to show himself here.
beep! !
The whistle blew and Real Madrid took the lead.
After Real Madrid kicked off, Podolski and others rushed up.
Real Madrid played 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 with a high press in the opposition half.
And this tactic did work, and soon Real Madrid's passing rhythm began to look a little chaotic.
Despite Modric's blessing, 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, and under Ramsey's interference, Bell was unable to fully accelerate.
But that's enough.
After Bell hit the bottom, he made a direct pass.
Ronaldo took off with Lucky and Mertesacker at the same time.
Ronaldo jumped very high, but Lucky jumped earlier, and again used the lateral movement method to push the ball directly out of the sideline.
"Tsk!!"
Ronaldo landed on the ground and clicked his tongue in displeasure.
Facing Le Kai's way of taking the lead, 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!
