No. 710: We have never been afraid to fight against people!

On paper, Barcelona can certainly play against any team in the world.

Ten minutes later, the Arsenal bus arrived, and the group of reporters was even more excited!

Barcelona have declared war on Arsenal to play a game at the Emirates Stadium, how will Arsenal respond?

Arsene Wenger, dressed in a thick pale blue down jacket, was the first to step off the bus and was greeted by a warm call from reporters.

Arsene Wenger came to the reporters with a smile on his face, and he didn't want to let the reporters down after waiting here for so long in such a cold weather.

'Pep Guardiola just said that he was going to play a game against the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium, what do you think about that?

A London-based journalist was the first to ask.

Arsene Wenger raised his eyebrows, he knew that Guardiola must not have slept well in the past few days, and he was struggling with how to play this game.

"It's great, it's going to be a feast for fans all over the world."

Arsene Wenger said with a smile: "At the Emirates Stadium, we're never afraid to go against people! ”

At this time, Chen Fan and Van Persie stepped off the bus, and some reporters issued a warm call to him.

Chen Fan did not refuse, and came to the reporter, who asked the same question.

Chen Fan thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, this game may score a few more goals." ”

What does this mean?

Do you think Barcelona will score more goals, or will Arsenal score more?

If you analyze Chen Fan's character, he is more inclined to Arsenal to score more goals!

The Catalan reporter looked at the confidence on Chen Fan's face, and a reporter asked very dissatisfied: "Chen, are you so confident in scoring goals?" ”

Chen Fan said with a smile: "You have no confidence in Barcelona!" ”

……

While the night in London is getting thicker and the temperature is getting colder, the atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium is getting hotter.

The battle for the pinnacle is about to start!

At eight o'clock, the players of both sides returned to the locker room to make final preparations for the game.

In the home team's dressing room, Wenger said in a deep voice after announcing the starting lineup: "Barcelona wants to play an offensive game with us, then, we will give them an offensive game!" ”

He looked at Chen Fan and said, "I want to give full play to my speed advantage tonight!" ”

Chen Fan nodded.

Wenger said to Van Persie again: "After Chen gets the ball, he has to open up space and be ready to respond at any time!" ”

Van Persie takes a soft penalty.

The Frenchman then said to several midfielders: "Pass the ball fast, more diagonal and through passes, less horizontal and return passes!" ”

After arranging the attack, he began to set up the defense: "After Messi gets the ball, you have to block. At the same time, we must also pay attention to the defense of others, every attacking player of Barcelona has the ability to score! ”

The world knows that this is a duel between Messi and Chen Fan, and if the Gunners contain Messi, Barcelona's offensive firepower will definitely be reduced a lot.

In the visiting dressing room, Pep Guardiola said: "I know this game is not going to require mobilisation, just like we did against Real Madrid. ”

I want to stress that we try to keep the football at our feet, be patient and keep looking for opportunities with our feet.

The game at the Emirates Stadium is not easy to play, we have to be fully prepared for difficulties, and even be prepared to concede first! ”

He then looked at Messi and said: "Leo, you must be the target of the opponent's focus tonight, you have to be careful." ”

Guardiola has great trust in Messi's ability, and he is afraid that the Argentine superstar will be injured.

"When Leo is dribbling the ball, the other players have to run and find the most suitable space to attack.

After arranging the offensive tactics, he took a deep breath and said, "Let's talk about defense. ”

The air in the locker room suddenly became a little heavier.

Chen Fan's name was like a mountain, pressing on them.

A hat-trick was scored in both rounds, which no one had ever done in history, but Chen Fan did.

"How else do we defend Van Persie and Chen? In other words, how do we curb Chen's play? ”

Pep Guardiola glanced at his players and said: "My strategy is – don't let him run!" ”

"As soon as he gets the ball, the players around him have to block it right away!"

Both the Arsenal and Barcelona bosses have developed a defence against the opposing attacking arrowheads, and the defensive strategy is the same – containment.

……

At 8:15, players from both sides appeared in the players' tunnel, and the caddies stood beside the players under the guidance of the staff.

The appearance of the caddie made the awkward atmosphere of the players' tunnel disappear, and the players bowed their heads to talk to the caddie.

Messi reached out to take the caddy's hand, but he was disgusted.

"I don't hold hands with you, Chen is my idol."

The eight-year-old boy even ran to Chen Fan's side, and the embarrassment on Messi's face was even worse, he had never encountered such a situation.

La Liga is a game without a caddy, and never in the past Champions League matches has a caddie rejected him so much.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that the caddie actually ran to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan looked at the "uninvited guest" beside him with some surprise, and then persuaded: "Little friend, that's your job, you can't do this." ”

The boy looked at him very aggrieved and said, "Then can you give me a hug?" ”

"Absolutely!"

Chen Fan picked up the boy.

"Chen, let me tell you, I just said that on purpose, in fact, I didn't hate Messi that much in my heart, I deliberately made him uncomfortable."

Chen Fan almost laughed out loud, this little guy is really a big ghost.

……

The starters of both sides walked into the stadium under the leadership of four referees, and the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis came to their faces!

"Arsenal!"

"Arsenal!"

"Arsenal!"

The home fans simply didn't give the Barcelona fans a chance to make their voices heard.

The booth got busy as Sky Sports commentator Bill exclaimed: "The players from both sides have entered the pitch, the battle for the top is about to begin, and the cheers at the Emirates Stadium are in the sky!"

Let's first introduce the fans to the starting line-ups of both sides, Pep Guardiola lined up a four-three-three attacking formation, goalkeeper: Victor. Valdez; Four defenders: Abidal, Puyol, Pique, Alves; Three midfielders: Xavi, Iniesta, Butzquez; Three strikers: Villa, Messi, Pedro!

Pep Guardiola has fulfilled his pre-match promise and is ready to play the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium!

Wenger's formation is a smooth four-four-two, goalkeeper: Almunia; Four defenders: Klicy, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Sagna; Four midfielders: Diaby, Song, Ramsey, Arshavin; Two strikers: Chen, Van Persie!

Arsenal's formation hasn't changed much, and that's the strongest squad at the moment. ”

On the field, when the players on both sides stood up, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game!

Messi moved the football to the backfield, and Chen Fan and Van Persie immediately rushed through the half!

The ESPN commentator shouted, "The battle for the pinnacle has officially begun!" ”
