Fortunately, there was only a three-day gap between the two games, and even if there were ups and downs in form, it shouldn't be too much worse. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Jurgen Klopp, who was celebrating the big win with his players, couldn't rest on his laurels and was already thinking about new issues.

Lin Yi, who only played 45 minutes in the game just now, is obviously still full of physical strength, and it should be no problem to fight with Arsenal.

What is more worrying is actually Pierre's physical fitness, can he play in the game against Arsenal? Fill someone's shoes?

It's a very busy schedule, and there's only one training day before the Arsenal game, so there's not enough time.

……

In his final training session before the game, Jurgen Klopp unveiled a surprising decision to play against Arsenal.

"Arsène. Arsene Wenger is not a fool, I think he must have seen the performance of our last few league games very clearly, especially the recent one, and now he must be hesitating, I don't know what tactics we will use against them, Arsenal's strength is not weaker than ours, I thought about it carefully, let's stick to the best tactics, more appropriate. ”

This brief analysis succeeded in convincing the players, and the veteran captain Kyle did not forget to say that he would never let Ozil feel better.

There were also many ways to attack, and after some consideration, Klopp opted for a "4-3-2-1" and put Aubameyang on the bench.

Bender is injured, Reus is suspended, and multiple cuts make Dortmund, who were originally evenly matched with Arsenal, a bit of a void now.

Arsenal, who have been playing as the "most formed" every year, has a stronger bench depth than Borussia Dortmund.

With that in mind, Jurgen Klopp had no choice but to leave Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who was the fastest but lacking in energy, for the second half.

Two days before the game, the whole Dortmund team flew to London, and sitting next to Lin Yi was Reus, who was banned from two venues and could not play, and he regretted his impulse again, and if I played, maybe I could put a lot of pressure on Sagna.

Lin Yi also understood what his friend was thinking, and whispered, "Don't worry." I'll score two more goals for you. ”

"Wow! The voice is so small, I don't have confidence when I hear it! Never mind! I still don't count on you, wait for the second round. ”

Maybe he was poked in the heart by Royce, or maybe he thought of something else. In short, Lin Yi didn't answer Reuss again.

Wearing the blindfold, he thought silently to himself: Although I also want to have confidence, but this opponent is really difficult to deal with.

"Don't forget, we were runners-up in the last Champions League, and you beat the defending champions at the start of the season."

Lin Yi was stunned, feeling strange in his heart. When did I start and how did I become less confident? That's not right!

"The opponent is nothing more than a regular in the Champions League, at most he has won the runner-up, and we also won the Champions League back then."

I don't know if it's talking to himself or to Lin Yi, anyway, Royce is chattering like this.

When he said that he was a little thirsty and was about to ask the flight attendant for a drink, he found that Lin Yi had fallen asleep at some point.

It was late afternoon when they arrived in London, and the club had prepared a bus to pick them up and take them directly to the residence.

It's not the first time Lin Yi has come to London, but no matter how many times he's been there. The changeable weather here has always been very uncomfortable for him.

Especially the situation of dense fog in the sky, which is the last thing he can bear, even his teammates can't see clearly, how can he still play?

Let's hope that there will be good weather during the race, preferably with clear skies, neither fog nor rain.

Early the next morning, Dortmund players came to the Emirates Stadium to warm up, and Lin Yi paced back and forth, and jumped a few times.

Arsenal are also a team that emphasises attacking and passing, so they don't really do anything on the pitch.

And the media has already played up this Champions League group stage that can't decide anything. It's a big battle!

Lin Yi adapted to the venue and returned to the bus with his teammates, and Royce, who was unable to play, sat in the car and waited.

"I feel like the weather and the turf are good, and tomorrow I should be able to fight with the Arsenal bayonets, and we'll see."

Royce, who can't play, still says the same thing. "Play well, try to score a goal for me, don't let them be too arrogant."

Arsenal do have arrogance in the Champions League now, winning both rounds and not conceding a goal.

When Lacazetti and Gourcuff faced Arsenal at Dort's home stadium, there was no room for performance.

"You're saying so much now. It's better to think about how we will sanction Napoli next, that game is also very important. ”

Dortmund, who have already lost two games, no matter which of the next four games they lose, the initiative to qualify is basically out of their hands, so no matter whether the opponent is Arsenal or Napoli or Marseille, they must win.

Lin Yi never liked to think too much before the game, and after a brief exchange with Royce, he went to play with his mobile phone by himself.

Royce leaned back in his seat, he had to win, or he would make good on his promise to Sven's boy.

"You can recuperate in peace, as long as you can come back in time to ensure that you can play in the knockout round of the Champions League!"

Jurgen Klopp, who was sitting at the front, didn't really want to think too much, but as a coach he had to think a little more.

After thinking about a lot of possible situations and solutions, Klopp also shook his head, don't think so much, look at tomorrow!

Wenger is much more relaxed than Jurgen Klopp, after all, he has been running at Arsenal for so many years and everything is under control.

The professor knows the strength of the team, although he has been criticized for selling the core and selling the captain, but the strength of the team is still guaranteed.

And Arsenal have had an unprecedentedly successful start to the season, with them performing well and not suffering from any injuries so far.

Lin Yi woke up early the next morning, and the first thing he did after getting up was to open the curtains and look at the weather.

The sky was very gloomy, and the visibility was not high, which made Lin Yi, who was originally in a good mood, also depressed.

Royce, who was in the room with him, woke up with a flash of light, "What's wrong?" Wake up so early? It's not dawn yet. ”

Lin Yi raised his wrist and gestured at Royce, "It's almost eight o'clock, so you can see how bad the weather is today." ”

Royce knew that Lin Yi preferred to race on sunny or cloudy days, but rainy or foggy weather was what he hated the most.

"Hey, bad weather has an effect on you. It also has an effect on that guy at Mesut, so don't be so nervous, it's the same. ”

"How can it be the same? He's been in London all year round, so he's definitely more comfortable than me. That's the bigger home field advantage. ”

"You seem to have forgotten that Mesut only moved here from Madrid on September 3 and is not going to be able to adapt much."

The two of them lifted the bar for a while, and then they went downstairs to have breakfast together, which is very important on the day of the game. Because you can only eat something to replenish your energy and strength for lunch, you can only rely on breakfast to satisfy your palate.

When Klopp arrived at the restaurant, he looked a little haggard, and even his big glasses couldn't hide the bloodshot in his eyes.

The players also know what the coach is worried about, but they don't make any promises to the coach, so let's just look at the performance.

……

By the time they arrived at the Emirates Stadium, the Arsenal players had already arrived at their home stadium one step ahead of Dort's players.

Royce, who was unable to play, also came to the training ground with his teammates, and maybe I could help out during the warm-up.

After the Dort players arrived on the pitch, many players from the Arsenal side took the initiative to come over and greet them.

Arsenal's players come from many different countries, with Mesut Ozil and Podolski both internationals in the German national team. Naturally, he is very familiar with Reus and Hummels as teammates in the national team.

Ozil, who has a pair of goldfish eyes and is always easy to blush on the field, also took the initiative to say hello to Lin Yi.

"Hey! I've seen video highlights of your previous games, and the pass is handsome! ”

Lin Yi didn't expect that as a well-known star, Ozil would praise himself like this, and after being stunned for a moment, he nodded with a smile.

"I felt you were strong at the 2010 World Cup, and when we played today, I hope I can make that impression on you."

"Haha! I've actually felt it already when I watched your highlights, plus Marco and Mats, who also mentioned it to me. ”

Lin Yibai glanced at the teammates behind him, could it be that I was exposing my strengths to others?

After a few words of greeting, the players of the two teams warmed up separately, regardless of how good the relationship usually is. When you get to the playing field, you must have a bayonet and fight to the death.

As the time for the game approached, the sky was getting more and more gloomy, and Lin Yichang sighed, although the weather in London was very changeable. But if this momentum continues, it will definitely not be able to escape a rain.

As if to test Lin Yi's hunch, just an hour before the start of the game, the rain began to fall so slowly.

Lin wiped the rain from his face and shook his hand fiercely.

If it's a painful rain, that's fine. The most unbearable thing is this kind of light rain that seems to be neither big nor small, making people feel uncomfortable all over.

If you look at Arsenal, every player is very calm.

Lin went back to the locker room and wiped all the water on his face with his jersey.

Let's hope the rain stops during the race, or just a heavy rain, the bigger the better.

Klopp looked at the rain outside and shook his head silently, there is no good time and place in this day, it depends on your performance.

Soon it was game time, and the starters of both teams had retreated to the locker room, and the suspended Royce had already arrived in the box at the scene.

Kyle is still standing in the middle of his teammates, and he looks a little tired after starting two games in a row, but he is still the same as he always is when he is watched by his teammates.

"Brothers, I don't need to say the importance of this game, I'm old, I don't have a few Champions League games to play, just take it as a wish for me, an old man, let's go to the knockout round again, and then go to the final to try, okay?"

In fact, it is rare to hear Kyle speak so calmly during the pre-game mobilization, but such words are more powerful.

"Don't say anything too much! Let's go on the field and prove ourselves with action! Okay, everybody get ready, and then go and win the game. ”

Lin Yi still walked at the end of the team and followed everyone to the players' tunnel.

The Arsenal players had just come out of the dressing room, and after the players of the two teams stood up, Lin Yi turned his head to look at the German striker Podolski, known as the "Prince of Porti", standing next to him.

Lin Yi was actually very surprised that this guy could start, although Giroud was injured, but Arsenal and Bendtner, why did he send such a speedy striker, does Wenger think this guy can deal with Matz?

Lin Yi glanced at the players in front of him again, and was even more surprised when he was sure that Podolski was going to play as a single striker today.

"CCTV! Cctv! Welcome to the third round of the 2013~2014 UEFA Champions League group stage. I am today's host He Wei, and next to me is today's special guest, Mr. Xu Yang. ”

"Hello everyone, it's not easy to explain a Dortmund game now, everyone is rushing to explain, the two sides of today's game are Dortmund away to Arsenal, Dortmund's previous performance in the Champions League was not so good, both games were lost, if you want to qualify, now every game is very important."

He Wei saw that his partner was a little excited, and hurriedly took the conversation.

"Okay! Let's take a look at the starting line-up of the two teams, for the home team Arsenal, the starting goalkeeper is Szczesny, the back line is flanked by Gibbs and Sagna, the middle of the field Vermaelen plus Koscielny, the midfield is five men, Arteta and Aaron. Ramsey, flanked by Walcott and Cazorla, Mesut Ozil in the midfield position, and Podolski as the lone striker. ”

"Podolski, who has rarely had a chance to play in the league this season, actually started, and it was such an important game, I feel that there must be some special reason. It seems that Arsene Wenger is going to play differently. ”

Looking at Borussia Dortmund, the starting goalkeeper is still Weidenfeller, with Hummels and Papastathopoulos in the middle at the back, Schmelzer and Piszczek on the left and right. The back three are Shaheen, Gundogan plus captain Kyle. The forward position is Lin Yi plus Mechtaaryan, who is also a single striker, Lewandowski. ”

"Today's line-up of the two teams is actually very similar, it looks like a '4-5-1', although there is only one striker on the field, but it is obviously a posture to attack."

Kyle and Vermaelen ended up guessing sides and got the right to choose sides.

After choosing a random direction, everyone was in their positions, and the game was about to begin. (To be continued.) )
