Chapter 132: The Eve of War

As the Champions League semi-finals approached, the atmosphere before the game was extremely solemn.

Last season, Arsenal came to the Champions League semi-finals in a daze. They were not even prepared, and they were eliminated by Real Madrid.

This season, Arsenal clearly understood that they had been aiming for the Champions League since the beginning of the season, and now they are only three games away from winning the coveted trophy.

On the way to the training base, Chamberlain looked haggard. He sat in the co-pilot. The guy who used to be a chatterbox was now extremely honest.

Lucky turned his head from time to time, looking at Chamberlain's dark circles, and frowned; "Don't tell me you went to the bar to hang out!"

"How is that possible!"

Chamberlain waved his hand and said; "I know clearly what time it is now, I won't make such a mistake."

Lucky nodded and said; "So, why don't you sleep?"

Chamberlain grinned and said: "I opened the FIFA custom last night and played the Champions League, from the group stage to the semi-finals!"

Lucky raised his eyebrows and said; "Is this why you don't sleep?"

Chamberlain said with a painful face; "I played it three times, but I just couldn't beat Bayern Munich. It's a shitty game. They set Bayern's data too high."

Lucky shook his head. After entering the Champions League semi-finals, pressure and a tense atmosphere have always surrounded Arsenal.

Many players are under great pressure.

Even Lucky, although he didn't show it, he would run a little more distance every day.

This is also a manifestation of inner anxiety.

Don't look at Arsenal's stable and strong appearance now.

But they fell in the Champions League semi-finals last season, and except for Di Maria, none of these players had played in the Champions League final. They were all pure rookies.

After arriving at the training base, the training content was the same as usual.

Everything was the same as usual. Wenger seemed to deliberately create a stable atmosphere, which did reduce the tension of the Arsenal players to a certain extent.

A 6v6 team competition was going on in the stadium.

This competition was mainly to ensure the cooperation and stability between the players.

Several coaches stood in different corners, holding notebooks in their hands, and two of them held video recorders to record the players.

Before the game, they must clearly understand the physical condition and status of the players.

Fortunately, Arsenal has not had any injuries so far.

This is also a point that Wenger is grateful for.

Bayern has just recovered from injury, and if Arsenal is injured, it will be really bad.

"Okay, the next group continues!"

Lekai and others walked down from the stadium.

Lucky took the towel from Patres and wiped it briefly.

And Patres squatted beside Lucky with a video camera.

"Don't think about changing your playing style at this stage. We have already entered the Champions League semi-finals. No one can predict what the "change" will bring at this time. So stability is the most important thing."

Lucky understood that Patres was reminding him not to play too hard. The most fearful thing in the finals is the uncontrollable factors.

Arsenal certainly expected Lucky to change his style of play, but not now.

"I understand!"

Lekai took a breath and said, "I just want to take advantage of the time to feel more, and also be prepared for any eventuality. Once Cazorla is blocked by the opponent, someone must stand up."

Patres said with a hint of surprise; "Do you think Bayern will really Cazorla?"

Lekai; "He is our frontcourt offensive organizer. Bayern knows this very well. A team without offense cannot pose a threat to them, so Bayern is likely to target Cazorla."

Patres: "Alsek also said that, but he hopes that the two wingers can stand up and take on the organizational work at this time."

Di Maria and Sanchez are also capable of playing this role.

But Lekai thinks he is more suitable.

"Let's see when the time comes. Once they are too targeted at our frontcourt, I will participate more in the offense!" At this point, Lekai shrugged and said; "It's nothing more than consuming some defensive costs to play against each other. We must have the attitude of daring to pull down the emperor."

Patres smiled.

He highly appreciated Lucky's mentality. In many cases, Lucky's positive mentality can give Arsenal a lot of positive energy.

On the other side, Di Maria and Suarez also sat together.

Both of them are South American players with certain topics, and their relationship is also quite close.

Suarez sorted out his socks and said, "Do you think we can make it to the Champions League final?"

Di Maria said without thinking; "Yes!"

Suarez turned his head in surprise; "So sure?"

Di Maria; "You must have confidence in yourself. If you don't have confidence before the game, then the performance in the game will be even worse, and we are very strong, aren't we?"

Suarez nodded; "I have confidence in Arsenal, but I am not too confident in myself. I always feel that I will have some bad performance in the game. If I can't shoot..."

Suarez is under a lot of pressure.

This is mainly because the team relies too much on Suarez's shooting.

It can be said that among Arsenal's goals so far, Suarez has taken on one-third of the goals, and even half of them.

This performance undoubtedly makes Arsenal's offense extremely sharp.

But at the same time, once Suarez stops firing, Arsenal will be in big trouble.

This is a question with both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that once Suarez is in good shape, the whole Arsenal will be like chicken blood.

The disadvantage is that Arsenal relies too much on Suarez. Except for this goal point, other shooting points are not threatening enough.

"Don't think too much."

Di Maria didn't know how to comfort Suarez, so he could only pat his shoulder.

Soon, Wenger clapped his hands again to signal a substitution.

Everyone got up and walked into the stadium again.

At around 3 pm, Wenger called everyone over.

"Tomorrow morning we will set off for Munich, Germany. This is our second Champions League semi-final. I just want to tell you, don't have too much pressure, just do it as before. I can tell you responsibly that as long as we perform stably enough, we can win the game!"

Everyone nodded.

"Today's training ends here, disband!"

"No one is allowed to have any night activities at night, go back and sleep well, don't let me hear your name in the media reports the next day."

After the Arsenal players started to wash up, they went home.

The same is true for Lekai.

As soon as he got home, the phone rang.

The ringtone was different, it was a video call request from Penguin.

Lekai answered it quickly.

The cheerful voice of Le Jianguo came from the other end of the phone.

"Son!"

Lekai smiled at the phone; "Dad, you haven't slept yet?"

"I can't sleep!"

After Le Jianguo finished speaking, he said carefully: "Did I disturb you?"

"No, I just finished training." Lekai waved his hand.

Le Jianguo said with anticipation; "So, we are going to play in the Champions League semi-finals soon?"

"Yeah! We are going to Munich, Germany tomorrow."

Le Jianguo immediately said; "Son, don't feel pressured, play well, everyone knows my ability, and you are the captain, you must take the lead, don't care about the South King, the Bundesliga giants and the like, nong them!"

Le Kai smiled and said: "I'm not nervous, when the time comes, you cheer for me!"

"No problem, the beer is bought!"

After that, Le Jianguo took out an Arsenal jersey from the side and sang loudly; "Our Arsenal is invincible"

Le Kai immediately stopped.

"Dad, enough! Enough!"

As a veteran fan, Le Jianguo likes the Serie A team. If Meiji does it, his father has been a fan of AC Milan for a long time.

However, with the decline of Serie A, this group of old fans began to become low-key.

Although they no longer appear in the vision of mainstream fans.

They no longer wear red and black sword-striped shirts and shout "Milan, Milan".

But Lucky believes that one day when AC Milan returns to its peak, these old boys will celebrate extremely wildly.

However

Lucky clenched his fist!

Now is the era of Arsenal!
