Step by Step to Win

Chapter 306: Emirates Stadium

In fact, Wolf Castle has been under great pressure recently, and it is not without reason. They worry that morale will decline after losing because Wolfsburg is now facing a game that is very likely to lose. In the mid-week match, the opponent that Wolfsburg is about to meet is Arsenal, and the name of this opponent is absolutely qualified to make Wolfsburg think of failure.

The Gunners Arsenal are the first team in the UEFA Champions League and the Wolfsburg group. After the first draw with Shakhtar Donetsk, in the second game, Wolfsburg will also travel to London to challenge Arsenal.

For Wolfsburg, this is the most difficult one of the six group matches of the Champions League. Challenge the team that is the first in the group away, and the task is very difficult. Although Wenger has been questioned for the past two years, as an old-school coach, he has never won the Champions League. For many years, Arsenal has not been irrelevant and has caused Arsenal to carry a lot of ideological burden. However, at least in the Champions League group stage, Wenger The strength of is still unquestionable.

In last year's Champions League match, a Bundesliga team met Arsenal-Dortmund met Arsenal in the group, and the result was a brutal elimination in the group stage. Of course, Dortmund did not play very well in the Champions League last year, otherwise it would not be the bottom of the group, but even if their level of play fluctuates, they are still Dortmund. The team that can beat Dortmund has enough reasons to make Wolfsburg be careful.

After all, Wolfsburg is the same as Dortmund last year, it is the first time to participate in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, and their Champions League results are not very good. In the previous game, they had just been tied by Shakhtar Donetsk at their home court. It is hard to predict the outcome of Arsenal, which is stronger than Donetsk in the away scene.

If this game Wolfsburg loses again. Then in the Champions League, they have already lost two games. And the next fourth team in the group is Ligue 1 champion Montpellier. Wolfsburg dare not say that they have an absolute advantage. Maybe their Champions League will play the same as last year's Dortmund. Therefore, Wolfsburg is not so willing to accept it. What they want to learn is the achievements of the Dortmund League last year, not the level of the Champions League.

It is this powerful enemy. Only then did Wolfsburg face a lot of pressure. However, when the players actually boarded the plane. Their pressure disappeared instead.

Perhaps as Chen Sirou said, in addition to facing pressure, the players also have a strong impulse for the championship and the desire for victory. Although the serious consequences after losing are worrying, but at the same time. The players also look forward to what the team will look like if they can win. During training, their sad emotions were amplified, but after getting on the plane, their emotions were extremely high.

"What will we end up with in this game against Arsenal? Anyway, Arsenal is also one of the top strong teams. After meeting them, what will you say will be the result?"

On the plane, the bored Makoto Hasebe asked Turan a question. Hear questions from teammates. Turan just smiled and shook his head, "How do I know? But if I want to say, the best result is naturally to win. If you run into Barcelona Real Madrid. Losing is not ashamed, but losing to Arsenal, it seems It's still shameful."

His answer made Makoto Hasebe laugh, "Indeed, it was a shame to lose. And the draw is even more unpredictable. When Arsenal wants to keep a draw, maybe the result is worse than the attack. After all, the opponent's defense is poor. . It’s an indisputable fact that the offensive end is strong."

The words of Makoto Hasebe made everyone around him laugh. Even if the Bundesliga team's defense has always been ridiculed by the Europeans as a team defense, but compared to Arsenal, they are still very confident.

On the plane, the players excitedly discussed the upcoming game. There is a ridicule of Arsenal's strength in their words, and more of their confidence in their team's victory. The pressure of the game was gradually faded in the jokes, and the belief in victory was rooted in the hearts of the players.

Although this game was difficult enough, the players were still full of confidence. Their opponent is Arsenal, a famous team in the world. Over the years, the promotion of the Premier League is far better than that of the Bundesliga. Although Arsenal is not the strongest team in the Premier League, and they have not won for several years. Have been to the championship, but their reputation is not weaker than Bayern. Playing against such an opponent, although the players do have pressure, they also have deep ideas about victory.

What if your team wins? Even the victory over Bayern in the league can attract so much attention. If you beat Arsenal in the Champions League, it can also attract a lot of attention, right?

There are not a few people who have such thoughts, and Gao Shunyao is one of them.

Gao Shunyao did not participate in the team's chat, he has always been leaning against the window, looking at the scenery outside the window. Speaking of it, this was the first time he played an away game in the Champions League. In other words, this was the first time he played a game that needed to go abroad after he arrived in Europe. This also made him a little excited.

What makes Gao Shunyao especially happy is that he was able to meet such a strong team and a famous home stadium in the first time he went abroad to play an away game-whether it was the name of the Gunners Arsenal or the name of the Emirates Stadium, he I've heard it many times. Gao Shunyao is also looking forward to visiting the Emirates Stadium.

Gao Shunyao has heard too many legends about this stadium. Some people say that it is Wenger's outstanding contribution to Arsenal, relying on his own team to make money to repair a stadium, Arsenal's management is admirable. It is also said that this stadium has drained Arsenal's assets. It is precisely because of the construction of this stadium that Arsenal spent all of their savings, leaving the team without a championship for many years, so that generations of captains of the team have gone away and refused to play for the team. Whether this stadium has brought prosperity to Arsenal or caused an economic crisis is also a mystery that has always been inexplicable.

The Bundesliga’s stadiums are all good, but no other team’s stadium is so closely related to their own team’s destiny as the Emirates Stadium. Even if Bayern's Allianz Stadium has made Bayern poor for a few years, it is far from being able to keep Bayern without a championship for so long. The show off at the Emirates Stadium is indeed a legend. Such a famous stadium is indeed a place worth visiting.

After arriving in London and seeing the Emirates Stadium with his own eyes, Gao Shunyao was even more certain that his expectations were correct. This stadium is indeed beautiful enough, even when compared with Bayern's Allianz Arena. He is indeed worthy of Wenger's large sums of money. With such a stadium, the players playing here will be very excited.

And if you can beat the home team here, it would be extremely exciting to think about it.

The majesty of the Emirates Stadium did not stop Gao Shunyao's ambition-especially after seeing the opposing lineup, he thought so.

Arsenal's lineup is goalkeeper Mannone, but Gibbs, Vermalan, Koscielny and Jenkinson are not shown. Above the midfielders, they photographed the midfielder of Coquelin, Arteta, Chamberlain, Gervinho and Cazorla, and Giroud was in front of them.

This lineup is not Arsenal's strongest lineup, but it is almost the strongest lineup they can put on. Most of Arsenal’s other main players were troubled by injuries at this time: Although the season started not long ago, Arsenal has already suffered a wave of injuries. Szesny and Fabianski had an ankle injury and had to play the third. The goalkeeper, Wilshere and Sarnia have not yet resumed training after serious injuries, and the two main players had to miss the game. Coupled with Rosicky's thigh injury, none of these people have entered the big list. As for Diaby...the ghost knows Where is he injured? If he can compete with him, that is simply the probability of winning the lottery.

A team can have so many injuries, it can be regarded as an eye-opener for Gao Shun dazzling. He has not seen injuries since he played, but such injuries are really rare. However, he has no heart to sympathize with Arsenal, the opponent's strength is weakened, and taking this opportunity to win is what he really wants to do.

Due to the impact of a large number of injuries, strictly speaking, Arsenal’s lineup is not necessarily better than Wolfsburg only by the main players. Among their frontcourt players, Cazorla, Gervinho and Giroud are pretty good. In any case, they can be regarded as accomplished players, but Coquelin and Arteta, when it comes to strength and fame, are really inferior to the players of Wolfsburg. Arsenal have always been known for their excellent offense, but seriously speaking, Arsenal may not be stronger than Wolfsburg~www.ltnovel.com~ and their defensive line is not small, but... Arsenal's line of defense, many times It's all a joke, and it's not just one or two people who take them off. Their defenders are famous, largely not because they are strong, but because of the opposite. Their two center-backs are okay, but their two full-backs are just a joke, and the third goalkeeper starts, which gives Wolfsburg even more confidence.

However, no one dared to say that even so, Wolf Castle would definitely have a chance. Although Arsenal have suffered a lot of injuries, their lineup is also very deep. Among other things, they still have Walcott, Santos, Podolski, Ramsey, Arshavin and other players on their bench. When it comes to the thickness of the team, they are still very scary. In any case, Arsenal can be regarded as a wealthy team that has been in the Champions League for many years. Compared with Wolfsburg, their confidence is still very sufficient.

And another important reason is that the opponent's coach is Wenger. Being able to advance every year is an invisible pressure on others. Although this old coach is known for his poor on-the-spot command, he is still the world's top coach. He still scares the Wolfsburg players on the sidelines. Playing with them, Wolfsburg will certainly not have a particular advantage.

Arsenal are still quite strong, and Wolfsburg must be careful. (To be continued)
