Ahead of the pinnacle showdown between Milan and Barcelona, the match between Arsenal and Villarreal was over.

Arsenal won 1-0 at home and Villarreal drew 0-0 away.

With Toure's goal, Arsenal advanced in a thrilling way.

It is worth mentioning that in the 89th minute of the second round, Villarreal got a penalty, and standing at the penalty spot was the last old master on the surface, Riquelme!

The moment he stands at the penalty spot, perhaps even the Arsenal will think the goal must be scored, and more may be thinking about how to play extra-time.

However, the goal was not scored.

Perhaps, it was all fate.

Arsenal, which has always been known for its attack in Europe, has performed well enough to stagger everyone in this Champions League.

In the three rounds of the knockout rounds, they faced Real Madrid, Juventus, and Villarreal, and they did not concede a goal in six games!

Is this Arsenal, really Arsenal?

Many people, many, many people, have such doubts.

In the end, with a solid performance at the back, Arsenal advanced to the Champions League final first.

Their opponents will be the winner between Barcelona and AC Milan.

Who will win? Who will Arsenal be against?

In order to prepare early, Wenger watched the live broadcast and tried to prepare for the fight as early as possible.

You know, this is the first time that a French coach has advanced to the Champions League final, and he is also the first French coach to qualify for the Champions League final!

This time the Champions League final was held in Paris, France, and it was simply Arsene Wenger's home stadium!

To say that Arsene Wenger doesn't care about this title is absolute.

Maybe that's why he's stuck in front of the TV like this.

Barcelona......

Arsene Wenger's mind is somewhat complicated.

"Are we going to deal with Barcelona?" Beside him, assistant coach Boulder was also quite embarrassed.

"This time, it's time to figure out who is the most beautiful attacking football!"

"They're not attacking football!" Arsene Wenger was surprisingly furious, "How can this tactic of constantly defending with their feet in the middle and back be called attacking football!" ”

Seeing Arsene Wenger get angry unusually quickly, Boulder froze in place for a moment.

As one of Arsenal's five veterans in the back, Boulder was already an Arsenal legend when Arsene Wenger joined Arsenal.

Now, Boulder has become Arsene Wenger's assistant coach and is responsible for training the defensive players in his squad.

It can be said that Boulder can be said to have contributed to the steady outburst of defensive players this season.

Boulder, who has worked hard, has not seen Wenger angry for a long time.

And......

Barcelona doesn't play attacking football?

I have the impression that Barcelona is simply synonymous with attacking football and even artistic football.

Suddenly, one day, when he heard that Barcelona was not playing offensive football, Boulder's brain really couldn't turn around.

But after thinking about it, Boulder felt that Wenger was right.

“…… It doesn't matter if they're playing offensive football or not, we've got to figure something out. Boulder said helplessly.

"What are we going to do if they did that against us in the final?"

Wenger closed his eyes, and Boulder knew that he was lost in thought.

Don't look at Arsenal who haven't conceded a goal in the Champions League knockout rounds this season, in fact, their defensive level is not very high.

In the final against Barcelona, Arsene Wenger really didn't know the bottom of his own defence.

The backline of Eboue, Campbell, Toure and Ashley Cole can be said to be Arsene Wenger's rhythm.

All four players have a lot of quality and can be considered a first-tier level in the whole of Europe.

However, compared to Barcelona, such a squad is still slightly weaker.

The biggest problem is that, apart from Ashley Cole, none of the other players are one-on-one opponents of the Barcelona Trident!

Including Campbell!

The former Premier League's No. 1 central defender is 32 years old this year!

Moreover, he has been plagued by injuries in the past two seasons, and although he is still Arsenal's most reliable defender, he is no longer as dominant as he once was.

In the face of Barcelona's forward trident in such a state, it is really unreassuring.

However, compared to the young Toure and the less powerful Eboue, Campbell is more trustworthy.

No way, on the premise that there is no transfer fee in hand, even if Wenger values some players, Arsenal can no longer buy them.

Under such a premise, it is not easy for Wenger to still be able to assemble an all-star team.

Compared with the undefeated lineup in the 03-04 season, Arsenal now has less midfield superstar Vieira, more talented star Cesc Fabregas, and more old acquaintance Hleb.

In the Bundesliga, he was at the heart of the powerhouse Stuttgart.

Arsene Wenger is convinced that such an Arsenal will not be afraid to surface any team!

It can be said that Barcelona's backline, even the midfield, is no better than Arsenal.

The biggest problem is Barcelona's attacking players.

Deco, Zhuo Cunzhi, Xiao Luo, Eto'o......

Barcelona's midfield looks terrifying!

Arsenal's legendary performance of not conceding a goal in the knockout game, and Lehmann's legendary record of 919 minutes without conceding a goal in the Champions League, will it be lost?

The answer, almost yes!

What can be done to cut off these people's connections?

The next moment, Wenger gave up on the childish idea.

On television, the Milan players struggled in pain, but to no avail.

At half-time, Carlo Ancelotti brought on Portuguese superstar Rui Costa in an attempt to salvage the situation with the experience of a veteran.

As it turns out, as a legend of a generation, Rui Costa did show a different style, and at one point put Barcelona's control into chaos!

However, it was only for a while.

Arsene Wenger saw very well that Rui Costa's style did not have much impact on Barcelona's possession.

After Barcelona's three lines of possession formed a whole, Rui's impact on Barcelona was minimal.

The most suitable for Rui Costa is actually to join Barcelona, and his passing control must be of great help to Barcelona.

"The style is the same as Barcelona's, it's Gattuso." Wenger said suddenly.

"But his ball intelligence is average, and this game is like sleepwalking." Boulder kept shaking his head.

As Pirlo's bodyguard, Gattuso performed so poorly this time that he directly dragged Pirlo down.

Pirlo's organization problems in the midfield indirectly led to a significant reduction in Kaka's possession, and Kaka, who had not yet awakened, instantly fell into a difficult situation.

Kaka's performance was poor, and Milan's midfield and front were almost at fault, and the problem of not having a full-back was suddenly exposed.

Against Gattuso?

Wenger never expected that Barcelona would be such a tactical concept!

Wenger couldn't help but think of his former protégé, French superstar defender Patrick Vieira.

If Gattuso were replaced by him, Milan's situation would never be so difficult!

If Arsenal still had him, he Wenger wouldn't have had such a headache...... Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
