Before you know it, the Champions League match day is here.
The Emirates Stadium is ready to face the Bundesliga giants.
The stepped bowl-shaped stands, scarves and flags formed waves of red and white.
Gun salutes were fired and colorful confetti flew over North London.
Under great momentum.
The huge mosaic puzzle has captured the attention of all viewers around the world.
"Lee!!!"
“Come on you gunners!!!”
Glory and dreams, our arsenal.
On the green field, the flag with the Stars Champions League LOGO was blowing in the night wind.
Stadium support staff carefully checked the equipment and quickly evacuated the venue.
The mascot, Gunslinger, wore white big-toe shoes and ran around the sidelines while carrying a gun flag.
The war is about to break out.
Arsenal dressing room.
Li Kang muted the tablet, and instead of showing the Bayern game video, the animal documentary "Wild Dog Solo" was playing on the screen.
He just found out today: It turns out that hyenas and African wild dogs cannot mate. The former does not even belong to the canidae family. The little jackals on the grassland practice monogamy.
Welbeck and Maguire are discussing: Who is more powerful, the tiger or the lion.
Bang bang bang.
Boulder clapped his hands, signaling the players to focus on the tactical board.
"After research by the coaching staff, we have to take the initiative to shrink the defense line at the beginning of this game, maintain low defense, and give up the ball. At about the 15-minute mark, Bayern's high defense line will be pressed near the center circle!"
"This is the best time for us to overthrow our opponents!"
"Kill Bayern Munich's comeback hopes!"
The former arsenal: no matter how powerful the opponent they encountered, the gunners would go all out, attack crazily, and would die standing.
Wenger pulled Morat aside and said gently: "Bayern's starting central defender partner today is Hummels and Boateng. They may be the strongest barrier in Europe, but the parallel spacing of the defense is not as good as Benatia's. So close, you should"
Morata nodded seriously: "I will help Li create opportunities."
Bayern dressing room.
Ancelotti did not deliver Chicken Soup for the Soul.
Instead, they kept repeating the details of the offensive deployment.
Lewand's eyes were wild.
Muller concentrated.
Kimmich secretly clenched his fists.
Alonso and Lahm looked at each other: this may be the last Champions League game in their careers.
Emirates Stadium.
There were huge crowds of people and every seat was packed.
The green field has been surrounded by a sea of red and white.
"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers!"
"The live broadcast for you now is the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in the 2016/17 season."
"Arsenal vs. Bayern Munich!"
"In the first round of the clash, the Gunners brought an offensive feast at Allianz. They were two goals ahead and had the advantage of three away goals."
"The Bundesliga giants have been forced into a desperate situation and they can only fight with their last resort!"
"Who can walk out of the Emirates Stadium smiling tonight? Let's see!"
The two coaches stood in their respective command areas.
The night wind ruffled the white hair.
Player tunnel.
The atmosphere solidified.
Even the caddy could feel the big hand holding him shaking slightly.
Alaba still couldn't hold it in and whispered: "Lee, I don't have your Arsenal home jersey yet."
Li Kang nodded.
Lewandowski had a straight face, frowned slightly, and glanced helplessly at the Bayern youngster: Why is Alaba so enthusiastic every time he meets Li?
Ribery smiled and patted Alaba's head gently: "After the game, you have a lot of time to chat."
This guy is not as "kind" as he looks, and there are constant scandals in his off-field life: young Kunmen, beating teammates, beating reporters, pushing linesmen.
He has not committed adultery in this historical period and is very popular with Asian fans. Some people even made up the story: "Ribery is a descendant of Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen." 》
The Champions League star-spangled flag was slowly removed.
The referee team led the players from both sides onto the green field.
"The following introduces you to the starting lineups of both sides!"
"Arsenal's formation is 4-2-3-1!"
"Goalkeeper: Petr Cech."
"Defenders: Bellerin, Maguire, Koscielny, Monreal."
"Double defensive midfielders: Bastian Schweinsteiger, Li Kang."
"Central midfielder: Walcott, Cazorla, Sanchez."
"Forward: Morata."
"Bayern's formation is 4-3-3!"
"Goalkeeper: Neuer."
"Defenders: Lahm, Boateng, Hummels, Alaba."
"Midfield: Alonso, Muller, Kimmich."
"Forwards: Ribery, Lewandowski, Robben."
"Thiago's injury is bad news, but the good news is that most of Bayern's main players are back from injury!"
Studio.
-
[An's Bayern's strongest lineup is that I don't know if Brother Long can play the whole game. 】
-
[Bayern's formation presses forward, the defense reaches a high stage, and Lahm moves in to become a defensive midfielder, which can solve many problems. I am optimistic that Muller will complete the "corkscrew" task today. 】
-
【Southern Star, Jedi counterattack! 】
-
【King of London! 】
-
【Five kernel mooncakes! 】
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.
The game officially begins.
The moment the football rolled on the green field, cheers like landslides and tsunamis erupted from the stands on all sides.
After receiving the ball, Alonso did not pass the long ball to the side as quickly as before. He had top-notch vision and saw Arsenal's formation slowly moving back.
Ancelotti was not as calm as he was in the first round. He raised his hand and signaled for the team to press on.
Didn't encounter too much pressure or pressing.
Bayern quickly advanced past the 40-meter area in Arsenal's half.
Robben gradually drifted outside the offensive system, waiting for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow.
Muller constantly adjusted his body direction, trying to get rid of Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Ribery is ready to go.
Lewandowski is hovering between Maguire and Koscielny.
The Bundesliga giant is trampling on the soil of North London, and no one knows whether his offensive method is to raise his hands or kick his feet.
"The game is about to enter the positional battle stage."
"Arsenal has a huge advantage of leading the total score and is solid in defense. Wow! Bayern is speeding up!"
"Ribery!"
As a child, Kimmich had a fatal flaw: his body direction before passing the ball was very obvious.
However, if the supporting players are strong enough, this flaw can be covered up.
He passed the ball to Ribery.
The latter received the ball on the run and squeezed Bellerin away like a bulldozer.
The Arsenal defender quickly tilted towards the left.
at the same time.
Muller decisively moved forward to the center.
Lewandowski entered the penalty area, stood between Maguire and Koscielny and raised his right hand!
"Ribery made a cross?"
"No, Bayern's offensive routine will not be that simple!"
Walcott and Cazorla were having a hard time.
They followed Mueller closely.
But Muller ran to the front line of the penalty area and stopped moving!
Aren't you going to push forward to help Bayern add an attacking point?
Why the hell are you standing still in this position?
It was inserted in the middle. It made the Arsenal midfielder defensive players too uncomfortable.
the other side.
Robben also quietly entered the penalty area.
Monreal was a beat behind him.
Bastian Schweinsteiger quickly filled the gap!
The whole world is waiting for Ribery's fatal pass!
Cech concentrated.
Ribery dribbled the ball near the corner flag area and began to dribble horizontally into the penalty area.
Bellerin got up and quickly chased back.
late!
Bayern's scar-faced movement made Arsenal's defense tilt even more exaggeratedly towards the right.
It's now!
Snapped!
The football stuck to the turf, passed Maguire's side, and rolled to twelve yards!
Lewandowski made a fake move to catch the ball and gave in slightly!
Missed the ball!
"Later, Robben!"
"no!"
"It's Mueller!"
"When did he get around Cazorla and Walcott!"
Gunners fans are extremely nervous!
Muller felt the shooter instinct in his body burning and boiling.
prove yourself.
Prove that even under Ancelotti, he is a top finisher!
Boom!
The crisp sound of the ball touching the ball made all the spectators' hearts twitch!
The football didn't fly towards the goal?
Not a shot!
It's a rescue!
The football left Li Kang's left foot and flew towards the Bayern command area.
"When did Li Kang show up there!"
Ancelotti raised his left leg high, and the moment the falling football landed on his leather shoe, he lost his fury.
He stepped on the ball with his right foot and then gave it to Boateng.
People can't help but wonder: the head coach seems to have better footwork than Muller.
There was a wave of applause at the Emirates Stadium.
As a player, Ancelotti was a well-known Milan star in the Apennine Peninsula, winning the Champions League trophy twice.
The midfield barrier in the Three Musketeers era.
The top space killer in Sacchi's system.
The Bayern coach chewed gum and looked at Arsenal No. 10 in the distance, his thoughts drifting away.
Walcott and Cazorla were helpless: Muller's movement was impossible to guard against, so they pressed closely against him? Will other Bayern players get more attacking space and keep distance from him? This guy's off-ball adjustments on a local scale are too abnormal.
Mueller scratched the back of his head, a little confused: How did Li determine that the end point was me?
Li Kang bent down and adjusted the shin guards.
God's perspective is indeed the nemesis of all false moves.
There is no need for the shadow of Nesta or the old man from the Emperor Star to appear.
When Muller emerged, the coaching staffs of various European clubs were confused: "Why has this type of perverted forward appeared again? How should opportunists be restricted?"
But thankfully there are too few opportunists with top false moves.
Throughout the history of football, there are only two or three.
The peak form of false movement may only appear in film and television works or.
Studio.
The big screen replayed the entire process of Bayern's attack.
Muller's forward thrust, pause, and position adjustment are amazing.
With all the camera angles, when Li Kang was the focus, the jaws of all celebrities were stunned.
-
[The tragic bottle opener met Li Mingdeng, and there was nothing he could do. 】
-
[Bayern's entire offensive system was running at high speed. Muller acted like nothing was wrong. He moved forward to the front line of the penalty area and suddenly stopped, so that the two players marking him did not dare to act rashly. When Ribery dribbled the ball laterally, Muller started again, rushing backwards diagonally, and there was another pause! When Ribery passed the ball, this guy adjusted his position for the third time, bypassing Cazorla and Walcott. 】
-
[In the whole process, Muller indirectly helped his teammates create too much offensive space. 】
-
[Li Mingdeng was even more amazing. When Muller paused for the second time, he quickly returned to defense from the top of the penalty area. It was as if he had guessed that Muller would have the best shooting environment]
-
[How can it be so complicated? Isn't it just a rescue? 】
-
[Let me just say that when Bayern's entire main lineup returns from injury, Muller will have ample room to play. Look at where Lahm's position was just now. 】
Cech hugged Li Kang excitedly.
It was so thrilling.
Bayern's positional warfare offense with this lineup is truly terrifying.
Maguire couldn't help but give a thumbs up to his midfielder.
He almost turned around and dragged Lewand down just now.
A false alarm.
A foul ball is taken.
Bayern's offense didn't stop.
However, Muller, who had entered his peak violent state, was hit by Li Kang's reduction in dimension.
The 9th minute of the game.
Alonso sent a through ball.
Other Bayern offensive players opened up the offensive width in advance to help create space for teammates in the center.
Muller has already maintained a parallel distance from Lewandowski, preparing to disintegrate Arsenal's central defender combination.
"Maguire blocked Muller's position!"
"Wow! Stop and retreat!"
"Lewand's back heel knocked the ball!"
"Mueller!"
Maguire looked confused. His huge body could not compete with the inertia in an instant.
Muller's pause and retreat gave him an excellent shooting environment again!
Boom!
The football didn't fly toward the goal!
It's not a shot!
But he was shoveled out of bounds!
"It's Li Kang again!"
"oops!"
"Clean tackle to clear the ball!"
"What a pity Mueller!"
Emirates Stadium.
Gunners fans breathed a sigh of relief.
The Bayern crown prince suddenly put his head in his hands like Guardiola did
The 12th minute of the game.
Bayern is at it again.
Muller switched functions, retreated and pretended to catch the ball, trying to attract Arsenal's defense in the middle. Nothing was attracted.
"How come no one cares about Mueller?"
"Alonso can't help it. His teammates on the wing don't have a good environment to receive the ball."
"Time is passing and the suspense of promotion is getting smaller and smaller."
The scene became increasingly dull.
The audience's ancient memories were gradually awakened: Wasn't Wen's Arsenal best at low-post defense in the early days? This is the power of Mr. 200 million!
Mueller had a headache.
At the beginning of the game, it was his old friend Bastian Schweinsteiger who pestered him. As a result, he always felt that Li Kang would appear nearby at any time.
nemesis.
In my career, I have never encountered such a nemesis who can suppress me so hard.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Bayern's high defensive line pressed deeper and deeper.
Neuer barely reached the center line.
Even if Boateng also rushed to the frontcourt, the good news of no goal came yet.
suddenly.
There was a wave of cheers in the stands!
Bayern's ball was intercepted.
"pretty!"
"Koscielny's steal!"
"Maguire out!"
"The quality of this long pass is very high!"
"Arsenal's counterattack is coming!"
"Morata!"
"Not Morata!"
"He didn't turn his back to catch the ball!"
"Wow, a beautiful turn and leaked the ball! It was given to Sanchez who was in a deeper position!"
"Bayern's high defense is crumbling."
"Arsenal has gone through a season of running-in and has a top-notch switching attack rhythm!"
Near the center circle.
Morata's speed is so fast that he turned around and sprinted instantly after missing the ball.
Sanchez touches the ball.
The football rolled into the space to Neuer's left.
Morata hits the horse and kills.
This kind of offensive rhythm made Bayern's defensive players never guess.
Boom!
The football made a wonderful arc in mid-air!
Hanging door!
Neuer ran back frantically, despairing of all hope.
"Morata's super long-distance goal kick is so exciting!"
"It's a pity that it didn't hit the goal range! The football flew out of the baseline!"
