Chapter 121 Barcelona Attacks!

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

After the league, Arsenal only had three days to prepare. After a big battle, Arsenal must continue to fight another big battle.

Barcelona is definitely one of the strongest opponents in the Champions League.

Although today's Barcelona is no longer the heyday of the Dream Three Dynasty, Arsenal still needs absolute vigilance.

The Barcelona team still has absolutely dominant players such as Innesta, Busquets, and Messi.

As for Arsenal, they have just experienced a big battle, so this game will become even more difficult.

Two days passed quickly.

Barcelona arrived in London one day early to prepare for the game locally.

The arrival of Barcelona will undoubtedly put great pressure on Arsenal fans.

For Arsenal fans, they still remember that Barcelona was the initiator of their elimination from the Champions League two seasons ago.

At that time, Arsenal lost to Barcelona and was eliminated from the Champions League.

And this time, they will not make the same mistake.

This is Arsenal's revenge battle.

The whole of London was filled with the atmosphere of a war.

After Tottenham and Chelsea were eliminated in the Champions League quarter-finals, the Emirates Stadium became the only stadium in London that could still watch Champions League games.

With the confrontation between Arsenal and Barcelona, ​​this game also attracted a large number of tourists.

Of course, for Arsenal, they must be the first to provide fans with tickets, and the excess players will be sold at the ticket office.

Tickets for this game are not cheap, even a little expensive.

But it was sold out as soon as it was released.

Compared with the calmness of those season ticket holders, these fans who bought tickets on the spot seemed even more crazy.

Arsenal fans have been looking forward to this revenge battle for a long time, and they have also shown great enthusiasm for this.

In this atmosphere, the game day is gradually approaching.

Throughout London, the atmosphere of a war gradually began to spread.

On the day of the match, Arsenal and Barcelona fans became the main theme in London.

They walked the streets and cheered for their respective teams.

Ordinary residents along the street will also be infected by this atmosphere, either participating in the parade or cheering loudly.

The actions of these people also pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

Champions League games usually take place on midweek nights.

The sun sets and darkness gradually falls.

Under the neon flashing, there is a stream of people.

Radiating from the Emirates Stadium to the surrounding areas, the streets for several kilometers were packed with fans.

In the two specially set aside roads, buses from Arsenal and Barcelona drove slowly.

With the appearance of the bus, the atmosphere at the scene became more intense.

Wow!

!

Violent cheers erupted around the Emirates Stadium.

Fans from both sides greeted their teams with the loudest cheers.

The two teams arrived at the venue one after another and entered the stadium amidst even more intense cheers.

For Arsenal, Mourinho got out of the car first, the madman's face full of seriousness.

He led the Arsenal players into the stadium in silence to prepare for the next game.

Every Arsenal fan stepping out of the bus will be accompanied by excited cheers and shouts.

The cheers gradually subsided until the players were no longer visible.

At the same time, louder shouts erupted in the venue.

These sounds radiated around, making the whole of London become extremely hot.

"Come on! Be fully prepared for exercise!"

"Remember! Don't pay too much attention to each other, play at your own pace! You can play better!"

Lucky high-fived and encouraged every Arsenal player who passed by at the exit of the tunnel.

During the warm-up process, Lucky also greeted Suarez.

Returning to the Emirates Stadium, Suarez was also filled with emotions.

“Hope it’s a great game!”

"Definitely!"

The two had a brief exchange and then stopped talking. After all, they were friends and foes and they couldn't have too much contact.

Messi also took the initiative to find Lucky and extended his hand.

"come on!"

Messi's words were brief.

Lucky also smiled and stretched out his hand.

"You too!"

After the warm-up session, everyone returned to the locker room.

Then amidst loud shouts, the players from both sides walked out of the locker room and prepared for the game.

They stood in the player tunnel as a whole, and the battle was about to break out.

"This is Sky Sports TV, the much-anticipated Champions League quarter-finals, Arsenal VS Barcelona is about to begin!"

"I'm Paul Mawson, the commentator for this game!"

"I'm Dixon!"

After a brief introduction, the two commentators began to predict the game:

"In this game, whether it's Arsenal or Barcelona, ​​these two teams are strong teams in the Champions League, especially Arsenal. Although they have two consecutive draws in the league, their form is still very good!"

"Barcelona also defeated Real Madrid in the national derby and is in excellent form!"

"The performances of the two teams' center strikers, Giroud and Suarez, are also exciting!"

"Of course, what we are most looking forward to is the collision between the two sides in the midfield, or the confrontation between Kai and Messi!"

"Messi, we are no strangers to him. He is a natural offensive player and a true football genius!"

"And Kai's ability on the defensive end is also recognized as strong!"

"The confrontation between these two is definitely something everyone is looking forward to."

Dixon took over and said: "In the last match between the two teams, although Barcelona eliminated Arsenal, Kai and Messi faced off head-on, and neither side was able to perform well enough."

"In other words, the two offset each other. The effect, Messi lost his dribbling breakthrough ability, Kai can't cover the defensive area, and can only play with Messi alone! "

"Now that two seasons have passed, what kind of games will these two core players play in these two seasons? This is the key point we have been looking forward to. "

Paul Mossen: "Yes! Barcelona is a team that relies on the midfield to play. Their midfield plays a big role, and Arsenal also needs the midfield to distribute the ball. Even from the perspective of the lineup system, compared to Messi for Barcelona, ​​Arsenal relies more on Kai's performance. "

"After two seasons, what kind of state will these two players show and what kind of game will they play?"

In the words of the two commentators, accompanied by the intense cheers on the scene, the players of the two teams have entered the stadium.

They stood on both sides of the referee, took photos and shook hands.

The captains of both teams, Lekai and Yiniesta came to the middle to toss a coin to choose the side.

In the end, Arsenal took the lead in getting the kick-off right, which also enabled Arsenal to take the lead in attacking.

After completing the side division, the players of both sides came to their respective half.

The camera of the game closes up on the faces of each player until it focuses on Giroud in the center circle.

In this game, Mourinho chose Giroud as the starting position.

Of course, it is not that Lukaku is in bad condition, but Mourinho thinks Giroud can better cope with Barcelona's system.

And in terms of grabbing points, Giroud's ability is also very good.

After comprehensive consideration, Mourinho chose Giroud,

Of course, Lukaku has to be on standby off the court.

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: Aubameyang, Giroud, Mane.

Barcelona (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Alba, Umtiti, Pique, Semedo.

Midfielders: Inesta, Busquets, Rakitic, Roberto.

Forwards: Messi, Suarez.

From the formation, it can be seen that neither side has an overly aggressive desire for pizza.

The deployment of troops is also very careful.

Obviously want to test first, and then show their own signs.

Barcelona still plays the traditional passing and controlling style.

Valverde has well preserved the tradition of Barcelona, ​​even though he is often criticized for this, saying that Valverde is eating Barcelona's old bottom.

But it must be said that Valverde is a very good coach.

Arsenal focuses on defense.

Although Luka is in the position of central midfielder, his position is not fixed, and Mourinho has not fixed where Luka must appear.

This also provides more offensive routines.
