Although the outside world is overwhelmingly optimistic about Real Madrid, and unanimously believes that although Arsenal has a talented goalkeeper like Zhang Zhetian who will cause trouble for Real Madrid, football still has to use strength to speak, although it may be difficult, but Real Madrid's promotion is not a big problem.

But Zinedine Zidane doesn't see it that way, he can lead the star-studded Galaxy to win the 11th Champions League in team history last year, and this season is expected to regain the La Liga title after four years, Zidane never underestimates any opponent, otherwise he would not have achieved such excellent results.

This Arsenal team is definitely not the "weak team" that people imagine!

The two-legged clash with Arsenal will be the toughest challenge of my career so far!

This is Zidane's true thoughts, at the quarter-final draw ceremony, when Arsenal was drawn, Real Madrid officials cheered, thinking that the draw was drawn, only Zida sighed in his heart.

If you have a choice, you would rather touch Juventus, Dortmund, Monaco, Leicester City, even if it is a sworn enemy of the same city and the country, it is better than touching this Arsenal team.

In Zidane's eyes, this series will be more difficult than the previous national derby, Madrid derby and the trilogy against Sevilla at the beginning of the year.

Why?

Because Arsenal eliminated Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga giants are one of the most balanced teams in Europe with the most balanced strength and the most ideal bench depth, before Arsenal and Bayern match, Zidane did not think that Arsenal would be able to overcome this nemesis, even himself, is not sure to defeat this formidable opponent.

But as it turned out, he was wrong.

In the two legs of the quarterfinals, the powerful Bayern took the initiative most of the time, and all aspects of the data were superior to Arsenal, but the home and away goals were conceded first.

In fact, even if Arsenal eliminated a strong opponent to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Zidane only paid attention to it, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Arsenal could advance because of the talented goalkeeper from China.

But after observing the Gunners' three league games since the beginning of the month, Zidane put away his contempt, and he believes that Arsenal after using the new tactics, if they play Bayern again, will definitely not be completely inferior in terms of field and statistics.

Although he can also see that this new tactic has just been developed and is still in the run-in period, there are still many problems for the Gunners, but if you don't pay attention to it as soon as possible and try to find out the loopholes of the opponent, you can't pass the Arsenal level, and you won't have a chance to break the curse that the Champions League cannot be defended after the reform.

It's a pity that Arsenal made a big rotation at Crystal Palace, and the value of this game is not as good as Manchester City and West Ham United, which is also Zidane's helplessness after getting Arsenal's starting list and formation at this time, he has not had enough time to make targeted arrangements.

Fortunately, one of the characteristics of Real Madrid in the new era is that it is strong when it is strong, such as winning the Madrid derby last weekend and "losing" the score is very rare.

This "sublimation" is technically concentrated in the two wingers who are diligent in defending and the technical midfielders are dedicated to defense, and at the mental level, it is the spirit of Juanito who will never give up until the last moment.

Pepe and Raphael Varane are absent, but the combination of Nacho Fernandez and Sergio Ramos is not inferior to the former two in terms of flexibility, mobility and athleticism, so Real Madrid's defense is not afraid of speed and technical strikers.

But Arsenal's starting center forward is Oliver Giroud, with him as the fulcrum of the front, Real Madrid's defense will be under a lot of pressure, because Giroud's body and header advantage will burst Real Madrid's air defense on the high ball, and Real Madrid must strangle Arsenal's cross and protect the second drop point when defending.

In fact, what worries Zidane the most is Zhang Zhetian, who eliminated Bayern from the tournament with the power of one person. From the footage of Arsenal's away game against Chelsea to last weekend's visit to Crystal Palace, he found that Zhang Zhetian was getting better and better from game to game, and the speed of his progress could be described as a rocket.

From a goalkeeper who tried to keep the door open and had a wide range of activities, to the appearance of long passes and assists, to the goal of the sports battle, and finally the development of free kick skills, Zidane deeply felt that his team was too passive and aggrieved when defending in his own half.

Because you can't foul within 40 meters, if it is not bad, the range of this Chinese goalkeeper is within 40 meters from the goal, in the Champions League two-legged elimination system, a lost goal, it is enough to kill, in the strong dialogue, scoring a goal, too difficult, too difficult, especially the opponent's goalkeeper is still BUG.

Therefore, Real Madrid's defensive means in this half can only be based on interception, and can not be attached to the opponent (close defense), but also pay attention to body collision and handball, who knows what the law enforcement scale of the Italian golden whistle is.

Suddenly, Zidane was startled by a thought that popped into his mind: this Chinese has more deterrent power on the court than Melo.

Even if you have a free kick that hits a hundred shots, I can pull it back with a lot of firepower.

But you can't get it back?

Sending set-pieces to the opponent in the defensive third is looking for death.

Zidane looked at the starters who were about to walk out of the locker room, cleared his throat and said loudly: "Guys, we ...... in the first half"

In the Arsenal dressing room, watching the starting XI go out, Steve Boulder said to Arsène Wenger: "Real Madrid's starting line-up is exactly what we predicted. ”

Arsene Wenger sighed: "If Welbeck hadn't been injured, it would have been fine. ”

Danny Welbeck suffered a toe injury in last weekend's game against Crystal Palace, and after being tested by the team doctor, Heibei will have to recuperate for more than half a month and miss two games this week, and if he is in good condition, he may not be back until next week.

Originally, Wenger planned Welbeck and Giroud to start together in this game, intending to use the twin towers tactic to suppress Real Madrid's defense, but Welbeck was injured again.

As a last resort, Arsene Wenger decided to surprise and come up with a strange formation without a back, taking advantage of the home advantage to take the initiative to attack and put pressure on the opponent.

Outside, experts and fans have made various analyses and interpretations of the starting lineups and formations of the two sides, among which, the most talked about is the strange formation of the home team Arsenal.
