On the opponents, Ancelotti began by praising them: "We all know that Arsenal are a good team, they are strong. ”

As a well-known "Champions League expert" who led AC Milan (2 times) and Real Madrid (1 time) to three Champions League victories, the reporter asked the secret of winning the championship, and the Italian, nicknamed "An Fat", replied: "Courage, experience, and luck." Courage is the most important of the three. ”

Asked about his team's recent performances, Carlo Ancelotti said: "Sometimes we play well, sometimes you can play better, but I'm happy with everyone's performance. I have a lot of respect for each and every one of them, they are able to come up with great football. ”

On English football, Hummels said: "I love English football and the rhythm there – three or four just play a game. ”

Asked what he thought of the possible abandonment of his national team team-mate Mesut Ozil, the world-class centre-back, nicknamed "Foxy", said: "The first time I heard about this, I believe he will play. We're playing at home and of course want to be the better side and let Arsenal know it's not going to be easy to play at our home game. Of course, this game will not be easy for us either. ”

On his club and national team team-mate Thomas Muller: "He doesn't need us to encourage him, he knows that attacking players always have low times, he works hard in training and he always scores. His resurgence is only a matter of time. ”

Speaking about the match, Neuer said: "We want to get the first leg ahead and it's important for us to win. I know Arsenal have a lot of good attackers and they're in good form at the moment, but our defenders will definitely want to keep a clean sheet and we're going to give everything we can to that. I think we're going to have two tough games ahead of us. ”

Speaking about Borussia Mönchengladbach's academy and his impressive performances in two Premier League starts, with consecutive clean sheets, Neuer smiled and said: "I know him, even though we are not friends and we haven't played against each other, but Mark [national team team-mate and rival Mark Ter Stegen] has spoken to me a lot, so it's not surprising that he can play as a regular at Arsenal and perform so well. ”

"I'll have to call Mark and ask him what his good friends have in their weaknesses, otherwise I'm worried that Robert (Robert Lewandowski), Thomas, Arjan [Arjan Robben] they won't be able to break through his door." Neuer laughed and said, "After all, his palm is too big. ”

Asked about the transfer rumours with Manchester City, Neuer said: "I'm happy and happy here, but I'm happy to hear that City are interested in me. Pep Guardiola has my mobile phone number, but he hasn't called me yet. ”

As Arsenal first captain Per Mertesacker has been recovering from an injury last season and has recently resumed training, but there is still some distance from the last game, second captain Laurent Koscielny was interviewed by Arsenal's official website as a representative of the team.

Commenting on Arsenal's recent performances, Koscielny said: "There have been some ups and downs in form over a long season, and when you are in bad form, you have to see if it's because of the squad. I think we reacted positively immediately after the defeat to Watford and now at Bayern Munich I think we have what it takes to win. We've beaten Bayern before. ”

'The first game of the knockout rounds is very important and we have to come back home with a good performance.

……

Damn, I didn't mean to, I said it casually, it won't be so effective, right?

In front of the TV, Zhang Zhetian was stunned to see his friend Ter Stegen standing on the pitch with a dull face, the score of 4-0 on the screen, the international convention, and the home team in front.

Barcelona, who have dominated Paris Saint-Germain in recent seasons, suffered an unbelievable defeat for fans around the world, with the goal-scoring MSN duo struggling to score a goal against a home side that lacked a central defender, Thiago Silva.

The 0-4 defeat at home equalled the worst record in the Champions League in team history, and also made Barcelona almost lose hope of advancing to the quarterfinals, if the second leg can not win by five goals at home, Barcelona will be eliminated in the quarterfinals of the 2006-07 season by Premier League giants Liverpool again, after a decade of fall.

0-4 matches, Barcelona has experienced three times, the first leg of the 2013 Champions League semi-finals Bayern Munich 4-0, the group stage in November 1997 at home to Dynamo Kiev 0-4, this is Barcelona's worst defeat at home in the Champions League, but the most tragic is the famous Athens tragedy, the 1994 Champions League final 0-4 loss to AC Milan.

As the saying goes, there are only three things, but Barcelona has already done three. The Spanish national team, which once won one World Cup and two European Championships in a row after following Barcelona's tactical play, may no longer be glorious with the defeat of the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016.

This may mark the gradual decline of the Barcelona dynasty in the era of Argentine superstar Leo Messi, you know, modern football has extremely high requirements for physical and physical fitness, most of the strikers once they reach the age of 30, will no longer be at their peak, like the previous Luka Toney, Miroslav Klose and other old and demonic forwards, in their 30s can still have a good goal rate, it is unlikely.

It seems that Mark is not in the mood for Valentine's Day tonight, should you call him to comfort him?

Beat? Or not to fight?
