Chapter 98 The Longed-For Stage

"We came to London, we are very excited, especially in the Champions League semi-finals. It is hard to imagine that we will play Arsenal in the Champions League semi-finals, but the fact is that we have defeated strong opponents one by one and finally stood in front of the defending champions of the Champions League! This is a great recognition for us."

"What I want to say is that we have come to the Emirates Stadium, and we are about to play against Arsenal here. No matter what the result of the game is, we will devote ourselves to the game and present a wonderful game for all the people!"

The young Nagelsmann said excitedly in front of the camera.

As the most watched young coach at present, Nagelsmann has led RB Leipzig into the Champions League semi-finals in just three years as a coach.

It can be said that this achievement is enough to make him the most popular young coach at present.

No matter from what angle, the record created by RB Leipzig and Nagelsmann is so dazzling.

And now they will come to the Emirates Stadium to welcome their most glorious battle.

In the away locker room of the Emirates Stadium in the Champions League semi-finals.

Nagelsmann gave an impassioned speech to the players of RB Leipzig.

"From the Champions League group stage to the Champions League semi-finals, we have created a record that shocked everyone, and we have also created a glorious moment in the history of RB Leipzig!"

"Yes, you are destined to be remembered by the history of RB Leipzig!"

"You are all heroes! This is true for the fans, and for me, the same is true!"

After a pause, Nagelsmann pointed to the door of the locker room and said:

"This is a crucial game, and it is also a battle with a huge disparity in strength!"

"Our strength is indeed lower than Arsenal, this is beyond doubt, but you must remember!"

Nagelsmann's voice became high again:

"Weak people are not equal to losers!"

"The battle has not started yet, no one can be sure of the result of the game, and there is only one thing we need to do!"

Nagelsmann gritted his teeth and said: "Bring down Arsenal! Let everyone be shocked again!"

"Go! Boys!"

The players of RB Leipzig shouted one by one, and they came to the player channel in a heroic and high-spirited manner under the encouragement of Nagelsmann.

When they came to the player tunnel, the Arsenal players were already lined up and waiting.

During their arrival, not even one Arsenal player turned his head towards them, even if he glanced at them.

This also reflects Arsenal's discipline.

The players of RB Leipzig also stood in a row, but they were still a little weak inside.

Facing the current Arsenal, which is in its heyday, they really feel a lot of pressure.

Especially looking at Arsenal's almost full-strength lineup, this is even more oppressive for them.

Compared with RB Leipzig, Arsenal's overall lineup strength is much higher than theirs.

RB Leipzig's center forward Poulsen squinted at Giroud standing on the other side. As the most effective center forward recognized in Europe, Poulsen couldn't help but have a little comparison.

As no one wants to admit that he is the bad one.

Poulsen slightly straightened his chest. He is about the same height as Giroud, so he wants to make himself look taller.

And Giroud seemed to have sensed it, and also straightened his chest and raised his head.

Kampl also looked sideways at Lukay, who was at the forefront of Arsenal.

They were both defensive midfielders, but their value and performance were very different.

When Lukay first came to the top five leagues, he was also a defensive midfielder, and then under the transformation of Wenger and Mourinho, he gradually became an all-around midfielder.

Kampl looked at this current ceiling-level player in the midfield, and also wanted to know what the gap between him and the opponent was.

Not only the two of them, but also other RB Leipzig players.

Both sides were secretly competing, and after a moment, a sharp whistle sounded, and both sides suddenly shook their bodies.

"Get ready to play!"

The referee in front turned around and shouted.

At the instruction of the referee, the players on both sides also began to cheer each other up.

"Come on!"

"Win the game!"

"Cheer up!"

"Get ready to fight!"

"Victory belongs to Arsenal!"

"The goddess of victory is involved in Leipzig!"

Amid the shouts, the players on both sides walked into the stadium one after another.

In an instant, the whole stadium burst into intense cheers.

Wow! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! ——

The fierce cheers and surging enthusiasm on the scene constantly stimulated the players of both sides.

They were already excited before the game started.

The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:

Arsenal (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Martinez.

Defenders: Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.

Midfielders: Kante, Lukay, Xhaka.

Forwards: Eriksen, Giroud, Mane.

RB Leipzig (4-1-4-1):

Goalkeeper: Gulacsi.

Defenders: Mujere, Upamecano, Klostermann, Angelino.

Midfielders: Lemer, Sabitzer, Kampl, Olmo, Nkunku.

Forward: Poulsen.

"Arsenal's lineup has not changed much. It is still a stable defensive counterattack position. At the same time, Kai's position still appears in the central midfielder position, which often means that Arsenal has increased the control rate of the midfield."

"Leipzig has invested a lot of strength in defense. Except for the single defensive midfielder Kampl who almost never attacks, the other midfielders need to run harder so that they can play the desired rhythm."

"However, compared to the bus position, RB Leipzig wants to play more actively, which is worthy of praise."

At the Sky Sports commentary desk, Andy Gray rubbed his hands in anticipation and said excitedly: "Now the game is about to start. Will the defending champions of the Champions League Arsenal defend their honor, or will RB Leipzig go all the way and create a myth to reach the final"

Accompanied by the commentator's words, the players of both sides have come to their respective half and are ready.

Arsenal took the lead in kicking off, and RB Leipzig was ready.

The referee from the Netherlands left the center circle and blew the whistle to signal the start of the game.

When the whistle sounded, RB Leipzig players suddenly started and began to press fiercely.

"At the beginning of the game, Leipzig players began to actively press forward. Their pressing pressure was very intense, trying to put pressure on Arsenal. At the beginning of the game, Leipzig showed their fangs. They used fierce pressing to tell everyone that they were not here to run with them, but to continue to create miracles!"

Leipzig's pressing was very intense, and the impact on Arsenal's midfield was also great.

However, Arsenal is Arsenal, and they will not become flustered because of these pressures.

Lekai and Eriksen began to actively increase the running distance, and they began to appear in various ball holding gaps.

When the midfield and backcourt were unable to pass the ball, or could not find a passing channel, any of them could always appear immediately.

This also made Leipzig's active pressing a little difficult.

In their intense running, they did not achieve enough results.

After 3 minutes of pressing, head coach Nagelsmann sighed helplessly. He made a gesture towards the court, signaling the players to slow down.

After seeing this gesture, the Leipzig players also breathed a sigh of relief.

Three minutes of crazy high-pressure pressure has caused them a great burden.

If they persist, there may be side effects.

For this reason, they began to slow down the pressure and began to retreat to form a defensive formation.

After three minutes of impact, they understood that Arsenal's formation was not so easy to break up.

And Arsenal also nodded slightly after seeing this situation.

RB Leipzig has shown a high-pressure posture before, and their current performance is also very mild.

After three minutes, Arsenal will control the rhythm of the game for a period of time after the transition.

For this reason, when RB Leipzig retreated, Arsenal began to move forward quietly.

Lekai constantly receives and passes the ball in the midfield. He mainly receives the ball with his back to the basket, creating a more favorable receiving posture for the players in the frontcourt. This way, the pressure is on Lekai, and his teammates can perform better.
