Leonardo was full of praise for his team at the post-match press conference, especially the performance of new signing Chen Bo. Javier sitting next to him. Zanetti is glad that this time the manager did not refer to today's venue as the "San Siro Stadium".

Zanetti, as the captain, focused on praising He Xu's performance, not that he really wanted to go against the head coach who was not a few years older than him. It's just that He Xu, as the best player rated by the media and officials after the game, always feels uncomfortable not praising him.

At this time, a reporter on the field suddenly asked a very advanced question, "Mr. Coach!" In the upcoming Champions League knockout rounds, you will play against Arsenal, do you have any concerns about this huge team in front of you? ”

Leonardo frowned visibly after hearing this question. He also knows that his opponent in the next round of the Champions League is Arsene Wenger, and he is against this cunning and indeed very good old guy, I am afraid that except for Mourinho, who has always been at odds with the professor, no one enjoys this feeling of rigidity, right?

After a pause, Leonardo said, "Well! First of all, I have to say that Arsenal are a great opponent and their manager was Arsene Wenger when I was a player. But now it's not the same as it was back then, he's not young! The stage belongs to us. So, I'm confident that I can lead my team to beat our opponents. If possible, it would be my dream to recreate Mourinho's glory. ”

Zanetti, who was sitting next to him, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, wondering whether he should interrupt the manager's rhetoric or bragging about X. Arsenal lost two of their midfield cores before the start of the season. But now two talented midfielders Jack Brown have emerged. Wilshere and Chinese kid Tang Lintian have taken over from Nasri and Cesc Fabregas. And this season, Gunners captain Robin. Van Persie's form is so hot that even Manchester United, who have Wayne Rooney, are said to have their hearts set on him. While the Dutch striker is extremely lethal in attack, the offensive efficiency is also frighteningly high. Vermaelen and Koscielny, a pair of centre-backs, have also been solid this season.

Want to take on such a team? Is it up to you to move your mouth? And a replica of Mourinho's glory? You'd better think about who can stop that kid surnamed Tang first, right?

Tang Lintian has become the biggest surprise in Europe recently, and the media of good things has even defined him as the next Iniesta. Although he does not have a strong physique, but the speed like the wind and the technical movements that always have some inspiration, coupled with the perfect combination of gorgeous and practical style, he is a few years younger than He Xu, he has become the core of Arsenal's midfield organization after Arteta's injury. It looks really close to Iniesta's style. As for Wilshere. The hot-tempered, handsome lad has the ability to impress Xavi and Andres Iniesta, two of the best midfielders in the world today. Arsene Wenger's approach to the development of newcomers. There's really nothing to say.

……

The media, which has always watched the excitement and did not think much of a big deal, quickly spread Leonardo's cruel words to London, and Wenger was very indifferent to this. After all, as an old man in his sixties who has gone through all kinds of ups and downs, there are not many things that can really make him angry. He just said lightly to the reporter who told him the news, "I'm really old!" But my players are young. As for whether Inter Milan can return to the glory of the past. It doesn't seem to have much to do with me, does it? ”

……

Zanetti is arguably unhappy with his new manager. Although when he was in charge of AC Milan before, he had already shown a penchant for bragging. But it was an opponent at the time, and it didn't feel so deeply. Watch this guy with nothing sitting next to him and talking to reporters. Zanetti wanted to get up and walk away.

Because of Leonardo's big words, or questions about Wenger's age. The Champions League quarter-knockout match between Inter Milan and Arsenal has become even more interesting and gimmicky.

According to the investigation after the game, this match was more interesting than the eighth-knockout match between Real Madrid and Liverpool on the same day. Of course, this situation does not rule out the possibility that the majority of Chinese have contributed to the ratings. After all, this is the first time that four Chinese players from both teams have played in the Champions League as starters at the same time.

When He Xu flew to London with his teammates, they were greeted by the lingering mist of London. It is not the first time He Xu has been to the UK, he visited Manchester with Ajax last season to participate in the Champions League group stage against Manchester United, but that time, God was still beautiful, and the weather was surprisingly good. This time, it seems that God should have taken a vacation.

He Xu didn't like this kind of very humid weather, and Chen Bo was not easy to be surprised by it at first, but when Inter Milan went to the Emirates Stadium to step on the field, he knew that He Xu hated this kind of weather not because it was not clean. It's because of the visibility, the fog in London is so thick that when you stand on the pitch, you may not be able to see where the opponent's goal is. It may be an exaggeration, but it's a guarantee that you can't see the goalkeeper's face when you're standing at the top of the box.

He Xu stretched out his hand to top his frame and muttered, "What the hell, bad weather, I'd rather it rain on the day of the game than play in this environment." ”

Sneijder weighed the distance between him and the goal with a soccer ball in his hand, and after a moment of tossing and turning, he came to a dejected conclusion, "If it's like this, I probably won't even be able to take a free-kick from close range." ”

He Xu shrugged his shoulders, "Don't worry! I'll take the ball to their goal when the time comes, and that's going to be fine. ”

Julio. Cesar also interjected at this time: "You should be sensible, he, I'm worried that in this weather, you will easily bring the ball into my goal......"

He Xu smiled bitterly, raised his head worriedly, and looked at the audience at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsene Wenger made up his starting line-up for the final training session. The professor looked helplessly at the players he could fit into the lineup. The first position hurt him very much, in the goalkeeper position, Fabianski was seriously injured when he submitted the Champions League squad, so he did not register. Szczesny is suspended, and Almunia is in poor form again. In the end, he could only grit his teeth, "Mariano, you started the Champions League this week, don't let me down!" ”

Mariano who was sitting in the corner. Arini was stunned, if this is a pie that fell from the sky, then this must be a pure meat filling! And there are two more pieces on the outside, ah, no, three pieces of bacon!

The goalkeeper, who was born in 1992 and came through Arsenal's academy, did not get a minute of playing time when Arsene Wenger reported Fabianski to injury. In fact, this guy hasn't even played a minute. If it weren't for the fact that there was no one available, Wenger wouldn't have wanted to make the big goalkeeper's debut at this time.

After gritting his teeth and settling on the goalkeeper, Wenger cautiously looked at the other positions and finally decided on the starting line-up, with Frenchman Sagna at left wing-back, Mertesacker and Chen Boyan at centre-back, and Koscielny at right wing-back. The injury to vice-captain Vermaelen has forced Arsene Wenger to trust the young Chen Boyan. In midfield, it is Rosicky, Arteta who has returned from injury and young Wilshere partner Tang Lintian, who specializes in attacking. Wenger knows that today's Inter Milan midfielders and backlines are extremely old, and it is not so easy to end the attack of He Xu and Chen Bo, so all he can do is to stop the attack with attack. So he put out this attacking midfielder and put the very fast Theo Walcott and the in-form Robin van Persie up front.

After this game, many people regarded Wenger's lineup as a classic, especially his trust in Chinese teenagers Tang Lintian and Chen Boyan, which can be said to have been miraculous.

Leonardo, who had no idea about the opponent's formation, also made a change, changing the formation from the previous "4-3-3" to a more solid "4-4-2".

The goalkeeper is still Cesar, in the backline, McConn, who has returned from injury, sits on the right side, and Yuto Nagatomo, who has been in the main position this season, and the central defender is still the South American combination of Samuel and Lucio. In order to limit Arsenal's midfield, he put three men in the midfield position, the old captain Xavier. Zanetti, plus Thiago, who is more adept at organising attacks. Mota and the pure defensive sapper Cambiaso. The single forward is still Sneijder, and perhaps the only one who can revitalize Inter's midfielder at the moment is the Dutchman with less and less hair. On the front line, it is the combination of He Xu and Chen Bo that many Chinese dream of seeing.

When he got these two starting lists, Zhang Lu, who has been engaged in football commentary for many years, couldn't help but feel that his nose was sour, and he had been waiting for so many years! Finally, we finally have players who can establish themselves in the major European leagues, even the big teams! Our football has finally seen a little bit of light!

He Wei did not use poetic language to interpret this historic game this time, because he was not in the mood, in fact, what he wanted to explain was actually the giant duel between Real Madrid and Liverpool, and it was only because of the upper and lower factions that he sat in this live broadcast room......
