Juul Lambert immediately sent back the interview between Yan Jing and Arsene Wenger at the press conference.

Both coaches are known for their ability to scout young players with an accurate eye and a willingness to give young players a chance.

The age difference between the two has become a hot topic of discussion, with the 57-year-old French coach Arsene Wenger more than twice as long as Yan Jing, who will only turn 26 in May this year.

In the pre-match press conference, both Yan Jing and Arsene Wenger were conservative about the game. For Arsenal, two of the main strikers, Thierry Henry and Robin van Persie, are out injured, and Arsene Wenger said there is no possibility of a return even in the second leg. Young Chinese coach Yan Jing is also cautious about the outcome of the game, believing that although Dortmund is on the right track, Arsenal have far more experience in the Champions League than Dortmund, so this game will be a close match. ”

After all, it was someone else's home stadium, and although it was only a warm-up event, the Arsenal players who started the game were cheered on by the fans at the Emirates Stadium.

The Dortmund squad was still standing in the tunnel looking out at the pitch when suddenly there was an exclamation from inside the Emirates Stadium.

Yan Jing turned his head when he heard this, and he was surprised to see Arsenal's right-back Eboue rushing towards the ball next to his team-mate in a pompous and funny gesture, and kicked it in front of the penalty area.

Whether it was a coincidence or not, the ball flew into the back of the net, causing a cheer from the Arsenal fans in attendance, and Eboue, who scored the goal, celebrated with his team-mates.

"......" Thuram wiped his forehead, "Is there something wrong with them......"

Before he could finish speaking, Thuram suddenly noticed that Ribery in front of him was making a running motion.

Ahead, Yaya Toure, who didn't know when he moved to the halfway line, put the ball in his arms on the white line and waved at Ribery.

"Come on Frank! we can't lose to him!"

Ribery rushed out of the tunnel like a meteor falling rapidly, bringing a gust of wind to the heads of his teammates and slamming the ball at Toure...... Hanging doors.

The crowd and Arsenal players were clearly taken aback by Franck Ribery's shot from the halfway line, staring intently at the ball gliding through the air.

The ball flies, flies, flies......

Drop into the net with unmistakable accuracy.

“……………………”

The Emirates Stadium fell into a strange silence as the Borussia Dortmund players began to cheer and applaud, with Ribery and Toure embracing each other.

"Frank! you're the best!"

"Yaya, your assist is perfect!"

“……”

The game hasn't started yet, and you're so deep in the play, this naked and meaningless provocation......

The embarrassed Thuram couldn't help but wipe his forehead again.

Well, it looks like my teammates are more flawed.

Yan Jing was almost dying of laughter when he sat on the sidelines, and Ribery's childish behavior made the entire coaching team and substitutes laugh.

Such footage is bound to become a gif for generations to come, and it doesn't take long for Eboue and Ribery's warm-up shots to be circulated on the Internet.

The warm-up of both teams was affected emotionally as a result, with the Arsenal player scoring one and Borussia Dortmund immediately sending their fighters back in colour.

Although they have not officially played each other yet, and they are each using half a field, the smell of-for-tat gunpowder is already in the air.

After the warm-up, the two teams returned to the locker room to make the final preparations before the game.

Entering April, the weather turned hotter, and Yan Jing thought that it was too hot to wear a coat, leaving only the white shirt inside.

"Tactically, I've already said it before. ”

Or the yellow and black tie that the players are used to, and the meticulousness in the sharp eyes.

"Yaya, give that Spaniard a little bit of color and let him know that the world of football isn't always going well. ”

Toure nodded heavily: "Understood!"

Yan Jing tilted his head and looked at Ribery lukewarmly: "Frank, what did you do when you were warming up just now......"

Ribery's heart twisted, he also knew that it was a little naïve, and was about to explain, when he heard Yan Jingdao.

"It's so beautiful! Even if it's their home stadium, they can't be arrogant!"

Ribery originally thought that he would be reprimanded, but he didn't expect Yan Jing to praise him for doing a good job, and instantly smiled and crooked his eyes.

"In the next game, we will definitely not give them a chance to get selder!"

In the Sky Sports studio, the commentator was still talking about Ribery's half-time lobble.

'Haha, can we see this as a provocation? ”

Another commentator nodded: "I think it's possible, but from Ribery's kick, we can also see that his recent form is too hot, and the ball near the halfway line can actually be scored...... I don't think it's just luck, Arsenal have to be careful in this game. ”

'It's going to be very difficult for Arsenal to get to Ribery, but if they can't, it's very problematic for them to get to the semi-finals. ”

"Oh, the players from both teams have entered, let's turn our camera to the pitch......"

Yan Jing sat on the away bench, and he turned his head to glance at the other side.

Wenger was taking the initiative to walk towards Yan Jing, and when he arrived at the away team's bench, he extended his hand to Yan Jing in a friendly manner, and Yan Jing immediately got up to hold the other party's hand.

Arsene Wenger spoke fluent English: "Mr. Jing, I actually wanted to see you a few months ago. ”

"Want to see me?" Yan Jing rolled his eyes and joked happily, "Mr. Wenger, you don't plan to ask for a price from my player, do you?"

Wenger paused and smiled: "You guessed correctly, can I ask Villa how much?"

"My players are not for sale. Yan Jing withdrew his hand and nodded at the old man, "I think this will be a good enough game." ”

Arsene Wenger ended the brief conversation: "That seems to be non-negotiable, let's talk after the game. ”

Wenger returned to his position, the Champions League theme song had been played, Yan Jing habitually took out a small notebook for recording and a pen, ready to write at any time.

Yan Jing turned the page, which lined up Dortmund's starting lineup for this game.

Unplagued by injuries, Yan Jing is relieved to send out the best 11 players in Borussia Dortmund this season.

"Let's take a look at Borussia Dortmund's starting line-up! At the top of the pack is still Villa, with Franck Ribery, Sneijder and Silva separated, and Yaya Toure and Shaheen in a back two. At the back, Dede, Thiago Silva, Thuram and Lichtsteiner lined up, and the starting goalkeeper was still No. 1 Weidenfeller. ”

Yan Jing looked at the Arsenal players on the field and quickly wrote down their initial positions in his notebook.

"Arsenal lined up in a 4-4-2 formation, with goalkeeper No.1 Lehmann, wing-backs Klicsi and Bouee, and Galla and Kolo Toure in the middle. In midfield, Rosicky, Cesc Fabregas, Gilberto Silva and Hleb occupied the middle, while Adebayor started with Reyes up front. ”

On German TV, Dicker commented on the starting line-up of the two teams: "The home team Arsenal seems to be a little stretched in terms of line-up, especially their forward line, in the case of the first two strikers Thierry Henry and Van Persie are both injured and reimbursed for the season, manager Arsion Wenger can only choose to send two substitute strikers Reyes and Adebayor. ”

Faye continued: "The visitors Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, have not been plagued by any injuries, while Franck Ribery and Yaya Toure have been in better form since they returned from injury. Comparing the current momentum of the two teams, I don't think it's impossible for Borussia Dortmund to win on the road, of course, it will depend on the performance of the players of both teams. ”

In the coin toss, Borussia Dortmund won the edge and Arsenal got the kick-off.

As soon as the ball kicks off, Bam Adebayor passes the ball back into midfield, where Rosicky receives it and then passes it to Cesc Fabregas on the other side.

Yan Jing looked into the field, and his players did not immediately pounce on the rush as before, and it seemed that they still remembered what he said before the game.

Unlike previous teams, Arsenal are now a technically fluid team that excels at passing.

Their players are not bad at their feet, and as soon as they come forward to press, they will immediately move the ball.

According to the data collected by Yan Jing before the game, Arsenal's passing error rate in the past ten games ranks second to last in the Premier League.

The Premier League is at the top of the table in terms of competition intensity compared to other leagues, and the turnover rate is still so low in this situation, which means that it is not easy to force them to make mistakes by pressing.

Cesc Fabregas didn't get the ball out after holding the ball, and as the team's playmaker in midfield, he had a lot of responsibility on his shoulders.

Since Dortmund didn't rush forward in the first place, Cesc Fabregas still had time to raise his head and carefully observe the position of the opponent on the field, looking for opportunities to play the ball.

On the other side of the pitch, Villa, who was at the front of the formation, saw Cesc Fabregas start to dribble forward, and his steps suddenly quickened, rushing towards his fellow Spaniard.

It wasn't just Villa who suddenly picked up the tempo, as when Cesc Fabregas changed the dribbling route from horizontal to vertical, the whole Dortmund team seemed to be pressed the switch, and instantly returned to their usual aggressive fighting attitude.

Yan Jing thought so.

Although Arsenal's passing control is good, this does not mean that Dortmund should give up pressing, on the contrary, they must take it to the extreme.

But it takes a lot more energy than usual, and they have to find ways to conserve it – for example, when Arsenal don't play pointless battles when they are doing pointless lateral passes.

Borussia Fabregas was taken by surprise by Borussia Dortmund's sudden pace, but after years of playing he was not to be distracted by the slightest change in his opponents.

He glanced at Borussia Dortmund's midfielder and turned his feet, ready to break through directly to the bottom of the opposition. 166 Reading Network
