In fact, Wolfsburg has been under a lot of pressure lately, and not for nothing. They are worried about the morale drop after the loss because Wolfsburg is now facing a game that is very likely to lose. In midweek, Wolvesburg's upcoming opponent is Arsenal, a name that definitely qualifies Wolvesburg to think of defeat.

The Gunners Arsenal are the first team in the Champions League and Wolves group. After the first draw against Shakhtar Donetsk, in the second game, Wolfsburg will also travel to London to challenge Arsenal.

For Wolfsburg, it was the toughest of the six group games in the Champions League. Away from home against the team that wins the group is a very difficult task. Although Wenger has been questioned in the past two years, as an old-school coach, he has never won the Champions League, and Arsenal has been burdened with a lot of ideological baggage for many years, but at least in the Champions League group stage, Wenger's strength is still unquestionable.

In last year's Champions League, a team in the Bundesliga met Arsenal – Borussia Dortmund met Arsenal in the group, which resulted in a miserable elimination in the group stage. Of course, Dortmund did not play very well in the Champions League last year, otherwise they would not have finished at the bottom of the group, but even if their level of play fluctuates, it is still Dortmund. A team that can beat Borussia Dortmund has enough reason to be careful at Wolfsburg.

After all, Wolfsburg are also participating in the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time this year, just like Borussia Dortmund last year, and their Champions League results are not very good. In the previous game, they had just been held to a draw by Shakhtar Donetsk at their home stadium, and now they are away from home against Arsenal, which is stronger than Donetsk. Unpredictable.

If Wolfsburg loses again in this game, then in the Champions League. They are already winless in two games. The next team in Pot 4 of the group is Ligue 1 champion Montpellier, and Wolfsburg does not dare to say that they have an absolute advantage. Maybe they will play the same Champions League as Dortmund last year - Wolfsburg are not so willing to accept this, they want to learn from the achievements of Dortmund last year, not the level of the Champions League.

It is this kind of strong enemy that makes Wolfsburg face a lot of pressure. However, when the players actually got on the plane, the pressure on them disappeared.

Perhaps, as Chen Sirou said, in addition to the pressure on the players, they also have a strong urge to win the championship and win. Although the serious consequences after the defeat are worrying. But at the same time, the players are looking forward to seeing what the team will do if they get the win. During training, their sad emotions were amplified, but after getting on the plane, their emotions were extremely high.

'What will we do against Arsenal? Arsenal is also one of the top teams, what do you think will be the result when you meet them? ”

Above the plane. A bored Makoto Hasebe asked Turan questions. Hearing his teammates' questions, Turan just smiled and shook his head, "How do I know?" But if I had to say, the best outcome would be to win. If it's Barcelona Real Madrid. There is no shame in losing, but it seems to be a shame to lose to Arsenal. ”

His answer. Makes Hasebe Makoto laugh, "Indeed. It's a shame to lose, and a draw is even less expected. Met Arsenal and wanted to hold on to the draw. Maybe the result will be worse than the attack. After all, it is an indisputable fact that the opponent's back line is poor and the offensive end is strong. ”

Makoto Hasebe's words made everyone around him laugh. Even though the Bundesliga team's defense has always been ridiculed by Europeans as a natural defence, they are still very confident compared to Arsenal.

On the plane, the players excitedly discussed the upcoming game. There was a joke about Arsenal's quality in their words, but also more confidence in their own team's victory. The pressure of the game faded into the banter and the belief in victory was ingrained in the hearts of the players.

It was a tough enough game, but the players were full of confidence. Their opponents are Arsenal, a team with a great reputation in the world - the Premier League has been promoted far better than the Bundesliga over the years, and although Arsenal are not the strongest team in the Premier League and have not won the title for several years, their reputation is not weaker than Bayern's. Playing against such an opponent, although the players do have pressure, they also have a deep idea of winning.

What if your team wins? Even a win over Bayern Munich in the league can attract so much attention, and if they beat Arsenal in the Champions League, it can also attract a lot of attention, right?

There are not a few people who think like this, and Gao Shunyao is also one of them.

Gao Shunyao did not participate in the team's chat, he leaned against the window all the time, looking at the scenery outside the window. Speaking of which, this is the first time he has played an away game in the Champions League, in other words, this is the first time he has played a game that needs to go abroad since he arrived in Europe, which also makes him a little excited.

What makes Gao Shunyao especially happy is that when he plays away from home for the first time, he can meet such a strong team, a famous home stadium - whether it is the name of the Gunners Arsenal or the name of the Emirates Stadium, he has heard it many times. And to be able to visit the Emirates Stadium, Gao Shunyao is also quite looking forward to it.

Gao Shunyao has heard too many legends about this stadium. Some say it is Arsene Wenger's outstanding contribution to Arsenal, relying on his own team to make money to build a stadium, and Arsenal's management is admirable. Others say the stadium drains Arsenal's assets. It was because of the construction of this stadium that Arsenal spent all their savings, and the team was without a championship for many years, so that generations of captains of the team left the country and refused to play for the team again. Whether the stadium brought prosperity to Arsenal or caused an economic crisis is also a mystery that has never been explained.

The stadiums in the Bundesliga are all good, but no team's stadium is as closely related to the fate of their own team as the Emirates Stadium. Even if Bayern's Allianz Arena has made Bayern poor for a few years, it is far from being able to keep Bayern without a championship for so long. The Stadium of the Emirates is indeed a legend, and such a famous stadium is indeed worth visiting.

When he arrived in London and saw the Emirates Stadium with his own eyes, Ko was even more sure that his expectations were correct. The stadium is really beautiful enough, even compared to Bayern's Allianz Arena. He's really worth a big deal of money from Arsene Wenger and it's going to be very exciting to have a pitch like this.

And if we can beat the home team here, it will be extremely exciting to think about.

The majesty of the Emirates Stadium did not stop Ko Shunyao's ambition – especially after seeing the opposing line-up.

Arsenal's lineup is goalkeeper Mannone and did not show Gibbs, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Jenkinson. In midfield, they shot the midfield of Coquelin, Arteta, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gervinho and Cazorla, and at the front of them was Olivier Giroud.

This squad is not Arsenal's strongest lineup, but it is almost the strongest squad they can send. Most of Arsenal's other main players have been plagued by injuries at this time: although the season has not started recently, Arsenal has already suffered a wave of injuries, Szczesny and Fabianski have suffered ankle injuries and have to use a third goalkeeper, Wilshere and Sagna have not returned to training after serious injuries, and the two main players have also had to miss the game, plus Rosicky has a thigh injury, none of these people have been included in the squad, as for Diaby...... The ghost knows where he is injured, and if he can compete with him, it is simply the probability of winning the lottery.

The fact that a team can have so many injuries can be regarded as an eye-opener for Gao Shun. It's not like he's not without injuries since he started playing, but it's really rare to see injuries like this. However, he didn't have the heart to sympathize with Arsenal, the opponents were weakened, and taking advantage of this opportunity to fight for victory was what he really wanted to do.

Because of the impact of a large number of injuries, strictly speaking, Arsenal's lineup may not be much better than Wolfsburg just by looking at the main force - among their frontcourt players, Cazorla, Gervinho, Giroud is not bad, no matter how you say it, they can be regarded as successful players, but Coquelin and Arteta, when it comes to strength and fame, I am afraid that they are really not as good as Wolfsburg's players. Arsenal have always been known for their attacking excellence, but when it comes to being serious, Arsenal are not necessarily stronger than Wolfsburg.

And their backline is not small, it's just ...... Arsenal's defense is a joke a lot of the time, and the people who make fun of them are not one or two. Their backline players are known in large part not because they are strong, but for the opposite reason. Their two centre-backs are okay, but their two full-backs are a complete joke, and the start of the third goalkeeper has also made Wolfsburg more confident.

However, even so, no one dares to say that Wolfsburg will definitely have a chance. Although Arsenal have suffered a lot of injuries, their squad is also very deep. Not to mention, they still have Walcott, Santos, Podolski, Ramsey, Arshavin and other players on the bench. When it comes to the thickness of the team, they are still very scary. In any case, Arsenal is also a giant-level team that has been mixed in the Champions League all year round, and they are still very confident compared to Wolfsburg.

And there is another important reason, that is, the coach of the opposing team is Arsene Wenger. Being able to advance every year is itself an invisible pressure on others. Although this veteran coach is known for his poor on-field command, he is still the world's top coach, and he will still make Wolfsburg players scared on the sidelines, and playing with them, Wolfsburg will certainly not be particularly dominant.

Arsenal are still quite strong, and Wolfsburg will have to be careful. (To be continued.) )
