Chapter 133: Goal! Champion!
"It is now May 6, 2015, at 11 am, German time. The plane carrying the entire Arsenal team has arrived at the airport in Munich, Germany. They will play the first round of the Champions League semi-final with the powerful Bayern Munich here."
"Looking back at Arsenal's history, they have reached the Champions League semi-finals three times. This is their fourth time! And this time, how will the Gunners perform? Let's wait and see!"
After Ma Fanshu finished her introduction in front of the camera, cheers began to come from the front.
She knew that Arsenal had arrived at the airport.
Ma Fanshu immediately responded: "The entire Arsenal team has arrived in Munich. We can see Wenger leading his team to the player bus. Walking behind Wenger is our player Lekai, who is also the captain of Arsenal. Today, Lekai is 23 years old. This is his fourth year at Arsenal. In four years, he has become the captain and led Arsenal to a brighter future."
"It is undeniable that Lekai is the most watched player in our country, and now he and his Arsenal will appear on the stage of the Champions League semi-finals."
In front of the TV, a large number of Chinese fans looked at Lekai in the camera.
Neat and tidy back hair, the beard on the chin was shaved to only stubble, and his eyes were accompanied by determination.
The 23-year-old Lekai gives people a sense of stability and maturity.
This is his first year as Arsenal captain, and in this year, he led Arsenal to the Champions League semi-finals again.
After arriving at the bus entrance, Lekai did not get on the bus directly.
Instead, he stood on the side of the bus and stretched out his hand to high-five each teammate.
At the same time, they were told not to accept any interviews.
At this moment, Lekai was more like a nanny.
But the captain is like this, sometimes he will become the nanny of the team.
After everyone got on the bus, Lekai and Wenger got on the bus together.
In the bus, Lekai did not sit in his own seat, but sat in the front row with Wenger.
"There will be a simple interview this afternoon, you go."
Lekai frowned; "What interview?"
"Official interview." Wenger said; "UEFA arranged, Bayern will also have Lahm to be interviewed."
"Interview the captains of both sides?"
Wenger nodded; "It's a warm-up."
"Okay!"
Since both sides will accept interviews, Lekai has no objection.
Arrived at the hotel where they stayed, after everyone completed the check-in procedures, rested for half an hour, and then Wenger led the players to the training ground.
Lekai stayed in the hotel because of the interview.
At about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, a phone call contacted Lekai.
Accompanied by Patles, Lucky went to the interview location.
The interview location was the Allianz Arena.
As the host, Ram was already standing at the door to welcome everyone.
Lucky and Ram just shook hands. They were not players of the same period and had no friendship.
Ram led everyone to the stands.
A camera, a host, Ram and Lucky.
This is the whole team.
"Who starts first?" the host asked.
Lucky and Ram looked at each other, and Lucky smiled; "I have no experience."
Ram smiled; "I'll go first."
Immediately, the host began to interview Ram.
Mainly focusing on the history of some teams and their own burdens, and looking forward to the future.
Ram's answers were orderly, without too much revelations, and were considered to be quite standard.
After Ram finished, he soon came to Lucky.
Lucky pointed at the camera and said, "Do I need to see it?"
The host smiled, "Just be normal, we're just chatting."
Lucky: "Okay."
"What do you think about Arsenal being a giant?"
The host's first question was very tricky.
Lucky turned his head and glanced at Lahm, who had a gloating smile.
Lucky lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "I think Arsenal is a giant."
His voice was sonorous and powerful.
"Many people say that Arsenal doesn't even have the Champions League, so how can it be a giant? Of course, this is why we have been criticized, but Arsenal has always stood in the top league and won so many championship awards, which is enough to prove Arsenal's strength."
"Of course, we must also admit that we always have some strange ups and downs in European wars."
"But my answer is still the same, Arsenal is a giant, and as for the Champions League, we will have it soon!"
Lucky's voice was full of confidence, which also surprised the host.
Lahm, who was standing by, frowned slightly, as he felt his answer was a bit too formulaic.
His momentum was outdone!
Host: "What kind of team do you think Arsenal is?"
Lucky smiled and said, "Many people would say that Arsenal is a beautiful team, because 'beautiful football' is the inherent impression many people have of us, but I don't think so. This is certainly the symbol of Arsenal, but Arsenal's deeper temperament is tenacity!"
"Tenacity?" The host looked surprised, as if to say, are you kidding?
Lucky said calmly; "I'm not kidding, this is the truth. Starting from Adams, to Bergkamp, Vieira, Henry and finally me, Arsenal has been trying to find the direction to move forward despite its stumbling, relying on this tenacious temperament."
"This sentence comes from my mouth, and there is a suspicion of self-praise, but it is indeed the case. The first thing I feel here is inheritance. When the team is in danger, there will always be someone who stands up to save everything. If not others, then it is me!"
The host nodded slightly: "What is the outlook for this Champions League?"
"Champion!"
Lucky said seriously; "Only the championship, the championship that Arsenal has been searching for, we will win it! At the same time, we will also tell everyone that the era of Arsenal has arrived!"
In the evening, the interviews of the captains of both teams appeared in the Champions League warm-up.
Wenger and other coaches sat together to watch.
"Kai's speech is very domineering!"
Lehmann smiled and clapped his hands.
He likes Lucky's speech.
Arsenal just wants the championship, and there is no need to hide this.
"Is this a challenge?"
Patres laughed.
Wenger: "Everyone is going for the championship, there is no need to hide it."
"This interview should boost morale a lot!"
"The game is tomorrow!"
"Guardiola is not easy to deal with!"
"Bayern Munich too!"
"We are playing away. It would be better if the first round was at home. At least we can take the initiative!"
"It's the same. What are you afraid of!"
The next day, Arsenal players were heading to the Allianz Arena.
In yesterday's Champions League semi-final, Juventus tied Real Madrid 1:1 at the Bernabeu Stadium.
The whole game was extremely fierce.
But from the confrontation between the two midfielders, it can be clearly felt that the performance of Juventus midfield led by Pogba and Pirlo is stronger.
Real Madrid lacks Modric.
This also makes it impossible to connect perfectly in terms of organization.
In the end, Real Madrid tied Juventus with a penalty kick from Ronaldo.
In this game, Juventus played brilliantly.
And Real Madrid's performance was surprising.
Many people think that Ancelotti will lead Real Madrid to become the first club to win the Champions League after the reform of the Champions League.
But Real Madrid's performance is indeed a bit sluggish.
On the other hand, Juventus is extremely strong.
This also makes many teams feel deeply afraid of it.
Arsenal also watched the game.
After watching the game between the two teams, the tense atmosphere became more solemn.
Although there was no insomnia, it also affected sleep to a certain extent.
Until going to the main stadium, some players were still yawning.
Lucky has always slept well, but he also had a dream yesterday.
It was just a beautiful dream.
In the dream, Lucky defeated all enemies with Arsenal and held up the big ear cup symbolizing the top of Europe.
Lucky looked down at his hands.
The touch in the dream was so real.
The cold trophy, the deafening cheers beside his ears, he could even feel his trembling body.
But dreams are just dreams after all.
If you want to bring this feeling into reality, then everything starts from here.
