"Hehe, Wenger finally came to the Olympia Stadium in Rome as he wished, hehe, it's really not easy."

Seeing the Arsenal players enter the field to warm up, Lineker couldn't help but joke.

Obviously, Arsene Wenger's side has been unearthed.

Plane breakdowns, fan harassment, rain on the ground...

A series of unfortunate things have allowed Arsene Wenger's team to catch up, and how can it be if you don't want to alarm the vast number of British coals.

'What I'm worried about now is Arsene Wenger's fitness and mentality. It's an away game, and with so many things going on, it's a bit difficult to keep your energy and concentration high. ”

Although, the bad luck of Wenger's team makes people a little unbearable. But after all, it is a Premier League team, and after laughing, Lineker's brows furrowed and the expression on his face became solemn.

'Well, it's going to be a very difficult away game for Arsenal. Let's not forget that Arsenal's personnel and fitness reserves are the worst of the Premier League's top four.

In this game, Arsenal only needs to ensure that they do not lose and strive to get an away goal, which is considered a victory. ”

Mortenson shared the same concerns. After all, what is the current situation of Arsenal, and the two of them have been following Arsenal's games for a long time, so they naturally know better.

At this time, the two of them almost looked at Arsenal for the first time, and they stayed on Arsenal No. 6, thinking that Xiang Hao was the key to Arsenal's game.

At home, Roma will go on the offensive no matter what, and they must guarantee that their team wins at home, preferably by a big margin.

Therefore, Arsenal's defense is the key to this game, whether it can withstand the offensive of the Roma is, to some extent, determine whether Arsenal can advance to the next round of games.

As the core of Arsenal's offensive and defensive transition, Xiang Hao will naturally take on more pressure than before, not only defensively, but also offensively.

From the speech of Roma coach Spalletti before the game, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to Xiang Hao.

In this game, it is almost certain that the midfield of Rome will frantically 'eat' Xiang Hao. As long as Xiang Hao is eaten, the Romans can basically ensure that this game will be won.

"Listen, this game, you don't give that number six any room to pass the ball calmly. In the front court, you must stare at him, force him to play, and let him play without a choice, do you understand? ”

A metallic voice, an unmistakable tone, and a pair of deep gazes. Spalletti is like a king, giving orders that cannot be disobeyed

Although Spalletti has encountered some doubts in the team now, the Italian with a personality still has a strong grip on Roma.

He is still the meritorious coach of the city of Rome, so his words, in the locker room, are still answered by everyone.

"We understand !!"

Led by Totti, a group of Roma players responded loudly to their manager's orders.

This Roman legion, although they can't climb the mountain of Inter in the league, but they have won the Italian Cup and the Italian Super Cup for two consecutive years, which has made them show signs of recovery in the league, telling all the opponents in the league that the former Roma legion is back.

Now the Roma players want to prove themselves again in the continent and let the world see the majesty of the Red Wolves again.

Now that they are in the last 16 of the Champions League, the first goal has been achieved, and the next step is to go further.

There is no doubt that in the seeded team, they meet Arsenal, the 'best to play' group winners, and there is no reason why they should not try to win each other.

"Well, good, let's go."

Spalletti was pleased with the attitude of his teammates, nodded and motioned for his opponent to enter.

In this game, he also has his own little ninety-nine, that is, to win, to consolidate his increasingly vacillating position as the head coach and suppress this group of Roma players.

There is a very important place in Italian football, that is, there are many hills in the team, and in almost every club, as long as they play for a few years, the players will naturally form a gang.

This phenomenon is especially serious in Rome, although there is a big boss wolf king Totti, but there have always been contradictions in the team. Totti, De Rossi, Tadei, etc., are not easy to deal with.

If it weren't for the passable record and winning a few championships, this group of individual players would never have answered so obediently now.

An informal contact with Chelsea has already led the Roma players to complain about themselves, with several players starting to turn against them.

And after three or four years, there has been no breakthrough in the grades, and it has reached the point of getting tired of each other.

It is difficult to get rid of Inter in the league, and Spalletti is desperate to achieve results in other competitions to appease the Roma club.

The Champions League became the most important breakthrough point, overturning Arsenal and reaching the quarter-finals. This is Spalletti's most important goal.

For this reason, in this game, he sent all the main players of Roma.

442 formation, goalkeeper No. 32 Doni; In the back line, No. 13 Motta, No. 15 Loria, No. 5 Mex, No. 17 Reese.

Midfielders: No. 11 Tadei, No. 16 De Rossi, No. 33 Brigi, No. 20 Perrotta; No. 10 Totti up front, and No. 19 Baptista, who had fond memories at Arsenal and scored four goals on the spot.

The Brazilian started high and low at Arsenal, just like his entire career, but his position was more and more forward, and the former central midfielder has now played in the front field.

is indeed a very powerful figure, and now he still plays a huge role in the Roman formation.

On Arsenal's side, Arsene Wenger also knows that away games are not easy to play and there is no one left. So, in the same way, he also sent all his main forces.

goalkeeper No. 1 Almunia; Defenders, No. 3 Sagna, No. 10 Gallas, No. 5 Toure, 22 - Klich.

midfielders, No. 8 Nasri, No. 15 Denilson, No. 6 Xiang Hao, and No. 27 Eboue; Up front, No. 11 Van Persie, No. 26 Bendtner.

This is almost Arsenal's strongest lineup, there is no way, the foundation is thin, even if the Arsenal players are tired, they have to resist.

"Hey, Robin." "Hey, Colo." …

In the players' tunnel, the enthusiastic Baptista shook hands with the Arsenal players one by one.

However, it is clear that most of the current Arsenal camp is a stranger he is familiar with.

Speaking of familiarity, it is because Xiang Hao and others have been in the Arsenal team for several years. But it's unfamiliar, and it's also true, because many people are only promoted to the main force this season, and Baptista is not familiar with it, which is normal.
