In China, there is such a group of fans that wherever Yunsheng goes, they will become their home team. For example, in the past two seasons, the number of domestic Juventus fans has surged, which is inseparable from Yunsheng's coaching.
With Zheng Zhi's transfer to AC Milan, Milan's fans are also increasing. Serie A's ratings in China have risen rapidly after experiencing a small trough.
But now the fastest-growing number of fans in China are Arsenal fans.
Although they are both top giants, Arsenal has attracted countless fans from all over the world with its artistic football playing style. With the joining of Chen Tao and Wang Chuhe, Arsenal's artistic football playing style is getting stronger and stronger. Some even say It has reached its peak level that year!
Wang Chuhe organizes in the backcourt, and Chen Tao advances in the frontcourt. The two Chinese players complement each other well and have become one of the top midfield combinations in Europe.
They are currently ranked fourth in the Premier League. If Wang Chuhe had not been injured for a period of time in the previous stage, Arsenal's ranking would have gone higher.
We met Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-final draw. Many Barcelona fans were very happy, because for them, Barcelona did not like teams with tough styles like Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid, but when it comes to playing like Arsenal. For similar teams, they are still very confident.
If you want to play offensive football and artistic football, which team in the world can compare with the great Barcelona?
Not only the fans thought so, but Barcelona players also faced Arsenal's challenge with arrogance.
In the first round of the showdown at Camp Nou, Barcelona led 2-0 in the first half. After two consecutive passes, Messi completed the last shot to help the team take the lead easily.
Just when everyone was convinced that Barcelona would win, Arsenal showed off its power in the second half.
First, Chen Tao made a ground-breaking long-range shot that blasted away the goal guarded by Valdez. Then ten minutes later, Wang Chuhe made a long pass within seconds, and Gervinho rushed into the penalty area to help Gervinho. Arsenal had the final say.
2 to 2! Arsenal stubbornly equalized the score!
Arsenal then played more and more smoothly. They even passed the ball 20 times in Barcelona's half without stopping, which shocked the Camp Nou!
And when Wang Chuhe hit a precise long-range shot into the absolute blind spot, all the Barcelona fans couldn't help but stand up and applaud, dedicating their praise to all the Gunners!
Who else but Arsenal can play football like this at Camp Nou!
Although Barcelona also got two chances at the last moment, both of Francesco's shots slipped out and the chance to equalize the score was lost.
In this game that seemed to be a sure win, Barcelona had no choice but to lose 2-3 at home.
After winning the away game, Arsenal players returned to their home court and once again performed at their top level.
They continued their wonderful passing and control at the Emirates Stadium, and even Habaib was inferior today.
But Arsenal was not very lucky today. Several of their shots at home missed the goal, which was a pity.
At the end of the first half, Xavi's precise pass found Messi. Faced with many defensive players, Messi knocked back in the penalty area. Iniesta shot a powerful shot from the top of the penalty area, and the ball responded. Enter the network!
1 to 0! Arsenal broke the deadlock and they equalized the total score!
Although the total score was tied, after all, they had the disadvantage of away goals, so Barcelona still maintained a strong offense in the second half.
In the 55th minute of the game, this time it was Sanchez's powerful shot that hit the post. The ball bounced back to the feet of Cesc Fabregas who was advancing forward. Fabregas easily pushed the shot into the empty goal, helping Barcelona expand their lead.
2 to 0! Barcelona sees hope of promotion!
Xiaofa, who scored an important goal, did not celebrate. He listened to the boos from the home team fans and ran back to his own half with his head lowered. He said nothing and did not even respond to the congratulations from his teammates.
Wenger sighed repeatedly on the sidelines. One of his favorite players now took out a sharp knife and stabbed him in the shoulder.
After Xiaofa scored a goal, his condition instantly improved a lot. Perhaps because of the goal, perhaps because of the stimulation of the boos from Arsenal fans, in less than ten minutes, he made two consecutive forward shots, both of which almost blasted away Arsenal's goal.
If Arsenal concede another goal at this time, their promotion hopes will be completely shattered.
The game has now reached the 74th minute, and there is not much time left for Arsenal.
The Arsenal fans in the stands also experienced some changes. They changed from booing Xiaofa vigorously to shouting Wang Chuhe's name loudly. Even captain Chen Tao was temporarily ignored.
Wang Chuhe, who had just finished an attack, looked up at the fans in surprise: "What is this?"
Chen Tao next to him patted him hard on the shoulder: "Brother, this is the performance that Arsenal fans expect from you. Xiaofa left, and he also returned here to represent Barcelona and scored a goal. The fans' hearts were broken. Now they need you to score goals as soon as possible to put them in a better mood.”
Wang Chuhe smiled: "In front of my ex-girlfriend, my current girlfriend must show some real skills, otherwise it will be embarrassing."
"Hahaha! I really have you!" Chen Tao laughed, "You keep walking forward, and I will pass the ball to you in a while, and you try to score one!"
Chen Tao said hello to Alexander Song behind him: "Man, the two of us are going to press up. I'll leave the rest to you!"
"No problem!" Alexander Song assured, patting his chest.
As a defensive player who was favored by Barcelona coach Guardiola before the game, Alexander Song was also eager to show his strength in front of Barcelona. He performed very well today. Alexander Song was responsible for stopping his opponent's counterattacks twice in a row.
The defense is solid, and Wang Chuhe's position is getting closer and closer.
In the 81st minute of the game, Chen Tao made an original move in Longtan, passing three Barcelona defenders with the ball in a row. He did not shoot in the penalty area. After attracting Valdez, he suddenly passed back!
Wang Chuhe followed up and shot into the far corner! The ball went in!
2 to 1! Arsenal scored a key goal, they equalized the total score, and they also have more away goals!
Now the pressure is back on Barcelona's side!
In the 88th minute of the game, Chen Tao was tripped outside the penalty area and received a free kick.
This ball was taken by Wang Chuhe. He hit a precise shot straight into the far corner and the ball hit the net!
2 to 2! Arsenal leads the total score again! They are only one step away from the semi-finals!
Wenger on the sidelines hugged the assistant coach next to him excitedly!
"Man, I dare to give you a 100% guarantee now. I will definitely become the new midfield master in European football!"
