Chapter 112: A Final Battle

On April 29, the Arsenal team was ready to go to Spain. Google search reading

As the World Cup approaches, the football atmosphere across Europe is extremely strong, and billboards about the World Cup or the Champions League can be seen everywhere.

This is especially true in Madrid, the capital of Spain.

After getting off Arsenal, they felt the strong hostility from the Madrid fans.

When Arsenal's bus left the airport and headed towards the hotel, there were many Real Madrid fans following on the road.

They showed Real Madrid's team logo and jersey towards Arsenal's bus, trying to give them a shot in the arm.

Lucky turned his head and didn't pay attention to this.

Although they won at home, the pressure was still high, especially after Suarez was injured, Arsenal's forward strength was greatly reduced.

When facing a team like Real Madrid, if the striker cannot exert enough pressure, then the midfielder and backfield will have to bear greater pressure.

"After everyone returns to their rooms and places their luggage, the bus will gather!"

After completing the check-in, Wenger said loudly.

The Arsenal players followed suit.

After they walked up to the room to place their luggage, they walked downstairs and returned to the bus to prepare for the rented training base.

The venue rented by Arsenal is Getafe's training ground.

In the past, Atletico Madrid's venue was used, but Atletico Madrid also reached the Champions League semi-finals this season, so it will not be rented out.

The match between Atletico Madrid and Chelsea will be held on the next day, May 1st!

The entire training is conducted in a closed manner, and no one is willing to show off their success at this time.

Although many media wanted to interview Arsenal and observe their training, they were all rejected by Wenger.

The training content is still the same without much change.

The current mentality of Arsenal players is also more relaxed. After all, Wenger's attitude has shown that they have basically given up on the Champions League this season.

There is really no way!

Suarez's injury makes it difficult for Arsenal to move forward.

The next day, the Arsenal club bus, escorted by police cars, headed for the famous Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

The Champions League semi-finals were very impressive, with police cars clearing the way and escorting them all the way.

There are even helicopter shots in the sky, and the broadcast method has been upgraded to 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.

Heat waves surged and cheers came and went.

Waves of high-pitched shouts and songs poured into my ears.

Real Madrid fans sang their team anthem and put pressure on Arsenal's players.

Of course, there were also many Arsenal fans present.

But the number of people cannot be compared with Real Madrid fans, so the momentum is much weaker.

They came to the locker room and simply changed their clothes, then ran out to warm up.

The same goes for the entire warm-up session.

Arsenal players could feel the hostility from Real Madrid fans, and the crazy boos made their mood even more solemn.

The warm-up is over and the players return to the locker room.

Wenger is already waiting here.

"As I said, enjoy this game. There are no hard and fast standards. It is up to you to make your own judgment whether you are satisfied or not. Don't let yourself regret it!"

After Wenger finished speaking briefly, Vermaelen put on the captain's armband and stood up.

He will be the starter in today's game, so Lucky will not be the captain on the field.

Everyone followed Vermaelen to the players' tunnel.

The Real Madrid players arrived 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 couldn't compare.

Although in the last round, Pepe replaced Suarez.

But Real Madrid really didn't have much impact, while Arsenal was a bit injured.

Lucky didn't know if it was an illusion.

The Real Madrid players were all looking away. Every time they looked at each other, the opponent would quickly turn away and not look at him.

This made Lucai feel a little puzzled, but he didn't think too much.

At this time, the referee has already moved forward and it is time to enter.

"Both sides are starting to enter! This is the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in the 2013-2014 season. Real Madrid plays Arsenal at home! I am the commentator He Wei!"

"In the last round of the game, Arsenal won 2:1 at home against Real Madrid. Now the two sides have swapped home games. Arsenal will challenge Real Madrid as an away team. This is a huge test for them!"

"Can they defeat 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 our Chinese player Lucai. In the last round of the game, Lucai's performance was still very good. Can he continue this state? , whether the BBC combination can be restricted again at the Bernabeu is the question that Arsenal needs to consider most. "

"Yes! Suarez's injury has caused Arsenal to go through the most difficult moment of the season. If you hold on, you will win!"

He Wei encouraged loudly.

At this time, players from both sides also came to their respective halves.

The lineups of both sides are as follows.

Real Madrid (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Coentrao.

Midfielders: Khedira, Modric, Di Maria.

Forwards: Bale, Benzema, C. Ronaldo.

Arsenal (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Szczesny.

Defenders: Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen.

Midfielders: Walcott, Luka, Cazorla, Ramsey, Rosicky.

Forward: Podolski.

Luka stood in his own half, surrounded by boos. He knew that most of the people here were enemies.

Except for the inaudible cheers from the away stands of Arsenal, all the voices came from Real Madrid fans.

It has been 3 years since he came to the top arena.

From a fledgling full-back, Luka has now grown into one of Arsenal's most core players.

In this game, he will play an absolutely core role.

He is not sure what he feels now.

There is excitement and pressure, but more of a feeling of eagerness.

Yes!

The opponent is Real Madrid, and he is the absolute core of Arsenal.

There is no better stage than this!

Lekai never thought that his football career could be so exciting.

But unknowingly, he has come to the stage that many people dream of, after all, he starts to show himself here.

Beep! !

The whistle sounded, and Real Madrid took the lead in kicking off.

After Real Madrid kicked off, Podolski and others rushed up.

Real Madrid passed the ball in the backcourt, and Modric shuttled through his own half, sorting out the rhythm of the game.

Seeing this scene, Lekai suddenly shouted loudly; "Go up and press! Don't let them play comfortably!"

After that, the Arsenal players rushed up.

They began to press high in the opponent's half.

And this tactic is indeed useful, and soon Real Madrid's passing rhythm began to seem a little chaotic.

Despite Modric's support, they dared not pass the ball back in the back line. Once the ball was lost, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Arsenal launched a high-pressure defense, which was a very smart decision. We are very clear about Modric's ability in the midfield, especially in organizing the rhythm. Once he is comfortable, the combat effectiveness of the entire Real Madrid will double!"

After He Wei finished speaking, he saw Modric pass the ball to Bale.

Bale took the opportunity to swing the ball in the direction of his breakthrough, so that he could start at the first time.

Ramsey followed Bale closely. Under Ramsey's interference, Bale could not fully speed up.

But this was enough.

After Bale went down the bottom, he passed the ball directly.

Ronaldo jumped at the same time as Luka and Mertesacker.

Ronaldo jumped very high, but Luka jumped earlier, and used the lateral movement again to directly push the ball out of the sideline.

"Tsk!!"

Ronaldo landed and snorted unhappily.

Facing Luka's way of jumping first, he really felt a little guilty.

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!
