Chapter 713: Carrying the Team on Your Shoulders

The first leg of the 13-14 Champions League semi-finals between Arsenal and Real Madrid came to an end at the magnificent Bernabeu Stadium, and with Ni Tu's goal after 85 minutes, the away Gunners stubbornly held Real Madrid with Cristiano Ronaldo to a 2-2 draw.

It was an unexpected draw, at least until the start of this game, the court of opinion was basically one-sided in favor of Real Madrid, and even after the start of the game, by half-time, people felt that Real Madrid would win, not just win, but also win beautifully.

However, it is true that Arsenal stubbornly held their opponents to a draw at Real Madrid's home stadium.

They are indeed worthy of the word "tenacious", take Ni Tu as an example, his total running distance reached 12KM in the whole race, which is a very amazing number, if it was left in the past, Ni Tu would never have been able to do such a run, but he can do it now, although he feels tired, but he is really done!

Arsenal certainly have more runs than Real Madrid, and if they are lazy when they are at a disadvantage, they will not be able to escape defeat.

And in this game, the Arsenal players changed their previous style of being a little "weak", and they behaved very toughly, even in the eyes of some "neutral fans", a little savage.

Ni Tu's harassment of Cristiano Ronaldo on the pitch is by no means unique, he is present in the actions of almost every Arsenal player, even former Real Madrid players such as Mesut Ozil, who rarely make harassing fouls, are willing to foul their own teammates.

It can be said that if you want to find a reason why Arsenal can exit from the Bernabeu, "tenacious struggle" is indeed one of the most crucial factors.

In response to Ni Tu's ambition, the Arsenal did not give Real Madrid a few more chances after scoring the equalizer, and they held the score until the last moment!

Let the wind and rain of Real Madrid blow, born like this!

In fact, after the game entered the injury time, many people knew that the end of this game was out, because Real Madrid had completely lost its rules, their attack became extremely messy, and there was no effective threat at all, except for some players who used their individual abilities to try to threaten the door of the Arsenal team, the away team's defense was basically not too dangerous at other times.

If it weren't for the whole Arsenal team focusing on their defence, they might have been able to steal a win at the Bernabeu!

Yes, they may really be able to "steal" a three points, and I believe that after the game, many Spanish media, and even other masters in the world who don't think much of the excitement, will think that the draw of the Arsenal team was won by playing rogue.

In the eyes of many, Arsenal's attack did not fully reflect their merits throughout the game, and many Real Madrid fans will even think that this is the Galaxy Battleship led by Jose Mourinho a few years ago!

In the eyes of some, Arsenal's way of playing is actually very ugly.

"A good boy like Ni Tu has played a scoundrel in the game, and the noble Real Madrid can only get a draw at his home stadium, which is actually very good, in this case, he can still get a point, which can only show that Real Madrid is very strong!"

After the game, the "Marca" newspaper has already thought of the steps of the forces you represent, Real Madrid only needs to go down the donkey!

The referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the dust was settled, and while that didn't mean Arsenal were going to knock out Real Madrid, it did at least prove that they had a crucial away draw over two legs, and it was 2-2, and the second leg was about to move to the Emirates Stadium.

It does seem that the initiative is in the hands of Arsenal.

It's just that Wenger didn't show such optimism, Real Madrid is really not an ordinary team, with the current strength of Arsenal, it is actually very good to be able to temporarily force the Galaxy Battleship, even if it is the next leg of the game, back to their home stadium, they Arsenal will definitely be able to compete with the opponent for a long time?

Therefore, at the end of the game, what Wenger needs to consider is actually the next leg between the two sides, or as previously thought, Arsenal cannot rely on Ni Tu alone to save the Lord over and over again.

Putting a team on the shoulders of one person is indeed easy for a manager, but it does not fully guarantee the consistency of his team's performance on the pitch, and Wenger needs to be prepared in case Ni Tu does not step up again to save the team.

But Arsene Wenger certainly wants to fully trust his disciples, but people can't always be blindly confident, can they?

In Carlo Ancelotti's view, Real Madrid's draw was also partly due to their overconfidence and treating Arsenal as fish on the chopping block.

Real Madrid actually has the strength of the seat "knife warrior", but for some reason, they cut the back of the knife to the Arsenal brand salted fish, not the blade!

Carlo Ancelotti will not believe the so-called "facts" or "truth" as the media says, and blame the reason why his team was forced to draw on the opponent's obscene opponents, which is really not the responsibility of one person.

Arsenal were able to force them to draw, or Real Madrid ended up with only one draw on their own home turf, which is actually a more obvious problem.

Ancelotti locked his eyes on Ni Tu, who was shaking hands with the players of his team, and he knew that the reason why he did not take this opponent down in their own home stadium in this game was actually because of the opposing player he was looking at.

For An Shuai, he attaches great importance to Ni Tu, and he is also ready to go to defend Ni Tu during the game, but he did make a mistake, that is, he should not relax his vigilance against Ni Tu after the game starts, even if it is because this person has focused all his attention on defense for a long time!

Despise Ni Tu, even if it is the powerful Real Madrid, it is very likely that the ship will capsize!
