Wow!

——

The atmosphere at the scene became fanatical.

After entering the Champions League semi-finals, the overall level of the competition, the atmosphere, etc. have reached the highest point.

It can be said that among the four teams, except for Roma, the other three teams have the capital to win the championship.

And who will win the final championship is impossible to predict and analyze, even Roma may win the Champions League.

The roar of the live commentator George Adams continued to come from the broadcast in the dome.

Every time an Arsenal player appeared, he would shout his name loudly, and the Arsenal fans in the stands cheered loudly without reservation.

The whole night sky was filled with fierce cheers, and even the fans who never left the field also raised their heads and roared, causing the overall atmosphere to become extremely fanatical.

Bathed in such an atmosphere, the hearts of every player became hot.

You know, this is the Champions League semi-final!

Starting from the Champions League qualifying round, after countless battles, the four strongest teams of this season were finally left.

From any perspective, they are the best team this season, and can even be said to represent the four teams with the highest level in Europe.

And the two rounds of games they gathered together must be extremely intense.

After the Champions League entered the semi-finals, the overall atmosphere was no longer so flat.

The increase in the strength of the opponents, the changes in mentality brought about by the atmosphere, and even the influence of the cheers around.

These are extremely challenging for the players' mentality.

The more you get to this point, the more you need to stay calm.

At the same time, driven by the atmosphere, let your state quickly enter the game state.

Under the camera, every player's face is ruddy.

This is a manifestation of excitement.

Whether it is Real Madrid or Arsenal, every team that reaches the semi-finals of the Champions League will become extremely excited and nervous.

Big scenes can create big public opinion, and it is not impossible for a goal to become famous and the value to skyrocket in the Champions League.

Soon, as the music became weaker, the captains of both sides were called to the referee.

The referee first made a brief introduction, and at the same time warned the opponents of both sides in a serious tone that they were not allowed to have too intense confrontations.

His tone told the captains of both teams that he dared to show his cards.

For this basic warning, both Lukay and Ramos were already accustomed to it.

The two exchanged team flags and shook hands in a friendly manner.

After completing the division, they shook hands with the three referees and the fourth official respectively.

After completing the above steps, they ran to their own half.

Real Madrid took the lead in choosing the ball, while Arsenal chose the left half.

At this time, the starting lineups of the players of both teams appeared on the big screen.

Arsenal (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Martinez.

Defenders: Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.

Midfielders: Aubameyang, Kante, Lukay, Yinwobi.

Forwards: Giroud, Lukaku.

Real Madrid (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Navas.

Defenders: Marcelo, Ramos, Varane, Carvajal.

Midfielders: Kroos, Casemiro, Modric.

Forwards: Yinsko, C Ronaldo, Vazquez.

Seeing the lineups of both sides, all the major commentators showed surprised expressions

First, Arsenal.

"This should be the first time this season that Arsenal has used a double forward lineup. Giroud and Lukaku, two center forwards with different styles, have become Arsenal's spearhead players."

After Andy Gray introduced, Richard on the side analyzed: "It is estimated that Lukaku will play the role of a battering ram, while Giroud will hide behind Lukaku and organize the frontcourt. This is somewhat similar to the attributes of a front midfielder, but it can also burst out with amazing impact!"

"And these two people can attract a certain amount of defensive power, which can also give Aubameyang a better chance to break through."

"It has to be said that Mourinho suddenly changed the lineup in this game, and we can look forward to whether this style of play can help Arsenal bring some changes!"

Richard's analysis is very accurate, but Arsenal's offense does not stop there.

The forward insertion of the full-back can help this lineup bring more changes.

And the cooperation between Lukaku and Giroud, this also needs to be questioned.

Anyway, for the current situation, no one expected this change in Arsenal's lineup.

Even Real Madrid coach Zidane frowned after seeing the lineup.

He has studied the tactical characteristics of Arsenal in many games, but this position is the first time.

Lukaku and Giroud's double center partnership has never been used by Arsenal before. Is this a secret weapon or a temporary operation?

But no matter what, this is an established fact.

And even if it is a secret weapon, an untested secret weapon will not be too threatening.

There have been unexpected changes in Arsenal's lineup.

On the Real Madrid side, Zidane did not send Benzema in this game, but chose Insko and Vazquez.

This is to thoroughly strengthen the role of Ronaldo.

Although Ronaldo is in the center position, his running position is often towards the side. If there are Benzema or Bale, they need to sacrifice their own space to make Ronaldo successful.

If it is Insko and Vazquez, there will be no such problem.

From this lineup, this is to unlimitedly enhance Ronaldo's personal attack and goal-scoring ability.

It's like putting a powerful cannon in front of Arsenal's goal!

The shells are fired with a bang, and everything within the range will be crushed!

Of course, it's easy to say, and the idea is also very good,

but it's too idealistic.

The problem with this lineup is that it takes time to send the ball to Ronaldo's feet. To put it bluntly, it means to feed Ronaldo the ball, and feed it well.

And with Arsenal's urine, they will not let Real Madrid play so easily.

In this game, both sides have brought out some new things.

Their respective goals are different, and their tactics are also different.

It depends on who performs better.

Soon, Ronaldo stood in the center circle waiting for the kick-off.

The cheers at the scene also became louder and louder, and the tense atmosphere spread.

In the camera, after the referee confirmed the last link, he slowly ran out of the penalty area and blew the whistle at the same time.

The whistle sounded, and the game started!

Real Madrid took the lead in kicking off, and Ronaldo immediately rushed into Arsenal's half after kicking off.

Lukaku and Giroud also quickly invested in the opponent's half for fierce pressing.

After the kick-off, the two were extremely active, constantly chasing and pressing in the frontcourt, and Arsenal's midfield also took a step forward to block the opponent's passing channel.

It is not easy for Real Madrid to pass forward.

Fortunately, Modric can always retreat to transfer to the left and right sides, which makes Real Madrid's pass smoother.

However, passing forward is still difficult.

Modric often takes the ball with his back, so he can't turn around and pass the ball immediately.

In contrast, other players with the ball have the opportunity to pass the ball, but they choose to pass horizontally or back every time.

The commentators were very puzzled, but only the Real Madrid players understood that every time they wanted to pass forward, the positions of Luka and Kante were just stuck in their passing channels.

They didn't dare to take the risk of passing the ball, nor did they want to lose the ball.

At least they had to shoot the goal once.

"Be more patient!"

Modric did not urge his teammates, but comforted them to calm down.

You know, facing a team like Arsenal that is good at pressing and intercepting, the most undesirable emotion is eagerness.

Everything is anxious, the pass is not good, and it will affect the judgment ability.

This is one of the problems they summarized before the game.

Always face Arsenal and be calm. The pass can be slow, but you must not lose the ball.

Play the game patiently!

Seeing Real Madrid's repeated attempts, Arsenal can also feel the opponent's intentions.

Luka shook and looked at Kante, who happened to be looking at Luka.

The two looked at each other and nodded.

Their position is critical.

They are Arsenal's first barrier.

They are also the front checkpoint that blocks Real Madrid's attack.

The opponent is patient, so are they.

For this reason, after the game started, both sides did not show any signs of anxiety, but played very calmly.
