Wenger certainly knows that his opponents will not let them take away the victory easily.
But this is a matter for the opponent.
At the pre-match press conference, Wenger also showed his confidence.
"Our goal is to get three points!"
He said very calmly.
Then the reporters threw questions to Ye Luo.
Yeluo attended the pre-match press conference as the team captain.
"Arsenal stopped in the semi-finals last season. What is Arsenal's goal this season?"
"Of course the champion."
Ye Luo barely hesitated for half a second. He looked at the reporter who asked this question as if he was looking at an idiot.
Oh, it was the Final Four last season.
This season our goal has become the quarterfinals?
This is too unprogressive!
Or is our goal this season just to reach the finals and finish second?
What the hell are these problems?
The reporters also knew that such a question was too idiotic, so they quickly changed the question. ,
"This season, Guardiola has taken over the treble winner Bayern, Barcelona has introduced Suarez, Real Madrid has also brought Gareth Bale to the Bernabeu, and Manchester United has also been strengthened. Do you think Arsenal can compete in such a fierce competition? Can Era successfully win the Champions League?"
"When will the Champions League be easy to win?" Yelo said, "Of course we know that the opponent is very strong, but we will not care about it. What we need is to be ourselves, no matter who the opponent is, our goal It’s all a victory!”
The pre-match press conferences of both sides ended one after another.
This also means that the game is coming.
Under the spotlight.
Arsenal's first Champions League group stage match of the season will finally begin at Celtic's home court.
Ye Luo competes in the Champions League again, which makes the fans of Dragon Country look forward to it.
Even if the game is in the middle of the night.
Many fans also set their alarm clocks early.
Many fans simply stayed up until 2:30.
But the familiar Champions League theme song sounded.
"Play Barcelona, play Barcelona, play Bayern Munich."
"Our factory has collapsed."
The exciting melody quickly cheered up the spirits of many sleepy Dragon Kingdom fans.
"Friends from the audience! Friends from the audience! Welcome to watch the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League Group B Arsenal's away game against Celtic live broadcast for you by the National TV Sports Channel! I believe everyone is looking forward to this game. It’s been a long time!”
The voice of Duan Xuan, the commentator of the national TV sports channel, sounded.
A close-up shot of Ye Luo appeared on the TV screen.
"coming!!"
“It’s finally starting!!”
"At least three to zero!"
"Ye Luo hat trick!!"
The sleepiness of the Dragon Kingdom fans was instantly dispelled.
On the Internet, comments quickly appeared one after another.
"Let's first take a look at the starting lineups of both sides. On Arsenal's side, due to injuries to Cazorla and Mertesacker, Wilshere and Koscielny took their places. In addition, Arteta appeared before the game. A little muscle injury, to be on the safe side, Kante got a chance in this game, and he started for the first time in Arsenal!"
The camera shows Kanter in the queue.
Wenger is very good at developing young players.
Kanter has been able to get the opportunity to be a substitute in several consecutive games.
In this game, the opponent was not strong, and Arteta happened to be slightly injured.
Naturally, Kanter got the chance to start.
He and Fabinho played as a double defensive midfielder, and Wilshere played as an attacking midfielder.
There are two changes to Arsenal's midfield - which is why Celtic's manager thinks he has a decent chance.
And under the lens.
Kanter seemed very calm and the league was calm.
Arsenal players were not surprised that Kante started.
This guy has a very stable mentality and doesn't look like he is only twenty-one years old.
Arsenal brought Kante to the team at a very small cost, and they made a fortune.
On the latest German transfer market website.
Kanter's net worth has also been refreshed.
His worth suddenly increased tenfold!
It jumped from 800,000 euros to 8 million euros.
The year-on-year increase in net worth ranks first in Europe.
Well.
In fact, the players ranked behind Kanter are basically Arsenal players.
With this wave of lottery tickets, Arsenal is making a huge profit.
The two teams shook hands, lined up, and took photos.
As the captains of the two teams completed their picks.
The right to kick off was won by the Celtics.
Arsenal gained the right to choose sides.
Both sides took their respective positions.
As the referee blew his whistle.
The game officially begins.
The Celtic forward kicked the ball backwards.
Then he headed straight towards Arsenal's frontcourt.
Showing a very aggressive momentum, with the cheers of the home audience, the Celtics' first wave of offense resulted in a shot!
Celtic center Commons leaped high to complete the header.
Following up is Celtics core No. 10 Stokes!
Amid the exclaims of the commentators, Stokes kept playing the ball at the penalty area line and raised his foot to hit the ball in the air!
amidst the exclamations of the fans.
The football rushed to the second-floor stands!
Although the goal was not scored, the home fans responded with cheers and applause, and were very satisfied with the Celtics' powerful attack.
The Scottish commentator couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw this scene: "The Celtics just started the game with a knock on the mountain! Cabela's shot was almost successful!!!"
"This also shows that Arsenal are definitely not invincible!! They may also concede goals!!!"
The Celtics head coach nodded with satisfaction.
Take advantage of the home court and attack in the opening stage!
This is a tactic adopted by many teams and is not new.
Use the attack to attack the opponent's unsteady foothold. Even if you can't score, you must exert momentum and use the momentum to suppress the opponent. In this way, even if Arsenal can regain the initiative later, the momentum will be weakened a lot and the goal will be scored. The possibility is therefore reduced.
Of course, the Celtics, playing at home, could not surrender from the beginning.
When Szczesny was about to take the goal kick.
The Celtics players didn't back down at all.
Instead, he goes up high and presses high.
"The Celtics played very proactively! They pressed a lot of people in the frontcourt and were ready to press Arsenal high!!"
See this scene.
Fabinho dropped back to receive the ball.
Szczesny passes the ball to Fabinho.
Fabinho did not pass the ball out immediately after receiving the ball. Instead, he pulled the ball, turned around, and then split to look for full-back Monreal.
Faced with the opponent's aggressive attack, Arsenal was not in a hurry.
Although they are playing away from home.
But they are confident that they can control the game.
They don't want the game to turn into a fast-paced melee.
Although the game turned into a fast-paced melee with constant exchange of ball rights.
They may not lose.
There is even a high probability that they will score more goals than their opponents.
But this is not stable enough after all.
Facing the Celtics team, this tactic seems to be a bit outweighed by the gains.
Celtic do not deserve Arsenal to take too many risks, they need a steady victory.
Therefore, Arsenal seemed to be very patient, passing the ball non-stop in the midfield, and through continuous passing, the Celtic frontcourt was forced to be lonely.
Yeluo also retreated to participate in the team's conduct.
in this case.
The intensity of the Celtics' frontcourt press soon began to decline.
Because if they can't grab the ball, they will just run wildly chasing the football.
This is equivalent to wasting one's physical energy in vain.
The Celtics have a very clear understanding of the strength of their team.
In the opening stage, you can start with an aggressive attack.
But I want to play against Arsenal for the whole game.
This is completely impossible to do.
Therefore, the Celtics can only activate their Plan B in advance.
Return to the backcourt, shrink the defense, and wait for the counterattack.
The Celtics head coach shook his head on the sidelines.
The pre-race planning was very good.
It's just that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Arsenal's ability to break the frontcourt press was beyond their expectations. In other words, the Celtics overestimated their frontcourt press ability.
A wave of presses failed to come out, but his momentum dropped a lot.
The Celtics failed to swing the first of their three axes.
