Arsene Wenger believes in his players, but that doesn't mean he blindly believes his side can beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

It's one thing to believe and support on the surface, but it's quite another to think about it rationally. Arsene Wenger can say that his team can finish off Real Madrid at the Emirates Stadium, but when he goes to the Bernabeu, he doesn't have the courage to say that he is definitely not afraid, but the problem is that Wenger himself does not believe that this thing will become a reality.

He has now made a plan to keep the draw away, not to say that he will have to give up the win, but to set the goal in an acceptable range, so as not to cause morale problems if it is not achieved.

Of course, if there is a chance of victory, he will never give up, but as a coach, unlike the players, you have to stay calm at all times, at least he is an academic coach, not a temperamental coach like Mourinho.

If he can get a draw away from home, then returning to the Emirates Stadium may not be impossible to win, and despite facing Real Madrid, he would still like to progress to the quarter-finals, because years without a title have created a preconceived mentality among Arsenal players, as if Arsenal can't win the title no matter how hard they try.

As long as he can advance to the semi-finals, he believes that he can arouse the fighting spirit of the players to win the championship, as long as he has the fighting spirit, he can solve the tactical things himself, in the final analysis, what he is most worried about now is not the strength of the team, nor the tactical problem, but whether the players have the courage and fighting spirit to break the boat!

Now Arsenal continue to have a title, a title with weight. For more than a decade, although he has led Arsenal to become a pretty good team. But after all, there is no champion, and he is said by some people to be a no-champion coach. said that he was not even as good as some juniors.

He is not convinced, so this season's Champions League and league titles, he wants to fight, and now the team is in good shape, although it lost to Manchester City, but it is not discouraged, as long as it can draw Real Madrid once in the Champions League, morale will also rise.

When he won the championship, he wanted to see it. Who else dares to say that he Wenger is an uncrowned coach!

In the continuous years without titles, this insensitive Arsenal needs some stimulation, if it can win a Champions League, it is tantamount to giving Arsenal a shot in the arm!

And it was Real Madrid who prevented them from winning the championship!

This stone in the way has to be kicked away, so what Wenger has been thinking about now is how to deal with Real Madrid.

……

Arsene Wenger wants to kick Real Madrid out of the way. But how could Real Madrid give in?

Not to mention losing to Arsenal, even if it is a draw, Real Madrid will never be willing to accept it! A team that lost 0:4 to Manchester City, dare to talk to us about a draw? Don't forget that Manchester City are still our losers!

This is the fighting spirit of the people of Real Madrid. It's a decision!

Draw?

In Lippi's mind, even if Arsenal scored a goal at the Bernabeu, it would be a failure!

La Liga champions Real Madrid. It has always been known for its superstar policy, and the opposite. Arsenal are known more for developing players.

The clash between these two teams is a clash of two modes of operation. What Platini wants to see is, of course, a victory for Arsenal.

Because Arsenal not only play in line with his aesthetics, but also in a way that he is more satisfied with.

Needless to say, Real Madrid, Platini has always disliked this team that spends money indiscriminately, not to mention that this team once had a coach he hated in the ownership, and now there is a player he hates joining, and he is sorry for himself if he doesn't hate it.

Because of the different operation strategies, different football styles, and the direct competition between the older generation of coaches Wenger and Lippi, this game is very worth watching, and the media in Spain have a strong interest in this game.

……

The first leg of the contest began at the Bernabeu Stadium, which was Real Madrid's home match against Arsenal! So objectively speaking, the time, place, and people are all on the side of Real Madrid, if you can't win the game, it will be a shame!

Since Lin Yu joined last season, the Bernabeu Stadium has gradually become the dreaded home stadium of the devil, and the emotions of the fans are really mobilized by Lin Yu, coupled with the influx of a large number of fans of the Demon King Club, this stadium, which was originally a little too calm, has become a devil's home stadium.

Because of this, everyone knows that if Real Madrid wants to advance to the semi-finals, then they should use these advantages to kill Arsenal cleanly at home, not dragging their feet, and not having any problems that should not arise.

If they can beat Arsenal by a clear margin, as they did against Juventus in the quarter-finals, then perhaps the second leg will be very easy.

Not only does the media think so, but Real Madrid also thinks so, so when Lippi formulated his tactics, he gave the order to attack and let the team fight quickly!

It stands to reason that Arsenal have just lost to Manchester City in the league and the morale of the team should have taken a hit, and it will be very difficult to play, but when the game really starts, the situation is a bit tricky.

This tricky is not to say how good Arsenal is, but Wenger has changed his past style characteristics and actually learned Mourinho's defensive counter-attacking tactics!

No one has ever thought of such a situation, it stands to reason that the Arsenal team has always flaunted attack and cooperation, Wenger's style and style of play similar to Barcelona, but today he suddenly chose such a counterintuitive tactic, which really surprised the big guys.

But if you think about it carefully, it's really difficult for Wenger, for the sake of victory, or for a draw, he does not hesitate to change his style, even if he is laughed at by the media and the fans, he must adopt tactics that can ensure a draw.

Ordinary coaches are very afraid of being embarrassed when they do this.

There have been many experts who have criticized Mourinho's tactics as a disgrace to football, a backwardness, and a lack of initiative.

And today. Arsene Wenger has also tasted that kind of treatment, and it has been more serious than the criticism against Mourinho.

"Oh my God. Arsene Wenger: What exactly are you doing? Why did you abandon the offensive in the first place? Is this still the Arsenal I'm familiar with? Is this still the same Wenger I'm familiar with? As a commentator for Arsenal supporters, he was directly dumbfounded when he saw this scene. He never dreamed of this situation, he has always watched Arsenal's games, it is for Arsenal's technical and ornamental viewing, otherwise Arsenal has not won a championship for more than ten years, and he would have disliked this team for a long time. Now that Wenger is doing this kind of thing, he feels betrayed, and he doesn't even know how to argue with the fans of other teams.

"It's really strange that Arsenal, who have always been good at attacking and co-ordinating, have chosen to defend and counter-attack, and the strength of this defense is obviously greater. Counterattacks have become a side product! Although Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium is very scary, Wenger doesn't have to be afraid of this, Arsenal is also a giant, is it necessary? I can't help but think that Ozil is a little unworthy, what will he think now that he likes to attack? ”

Of course, Lin Yu, Ronaldo, and Casillas in the Real Madrid team are absolutely world-class, but other players may not be much better than Arsenal, even if it is Bale, who is worth nearly 100 million transfers. It's just that the transfer fee is more expensive, and his real strength is not as good as Ozil. Why should Wenger be afraid? Why? ”

"Shouldn't we try to score as many goals away as possible? But how exactly is Arsenal, who have not attacked, going to score goals? To steal? All right. I did see Real Madrid's central defender Pepe in the central midfielder position, although he usually likes to rush, but today it was completely because Arsenal completely abandoned the attack! ”

Most of the commentators don't quite understand Wenger's approach. Even if there is understanding, I don't really like Wenger's sudden change of heart. It's all about disarming and surrendering.

The reporters in the stands also had some discussion about this, and the tone was more heated than the commentary.

"Arsene Wenger, Arsene Wenger. Is this what you call a tactic? It's a shame, I misread you! ”

This reporter probably wrote articles to speak for Wenger before, so he feels cheated at this time, and he is very unhappy.

"I think Arsene Wenger still cares too much about other people's opinions, hasn't there been some media sarcasm lately that he plays well and is useless, and that if he can't win the title, he's a failure? In fact, he doesn't have to care so much, a coach can cultivate so many stars, which is a great achievement in itself! ”

"Negative, it's really too negative, do you want to rely on such negative tactics to advance? I can't believe it! ”

Gradually, the reporter's discussion spread to the fans.

Real Madrid fans haven't said much yet, but some die-hard Arsenal fans can't sit still.

"Professor! Please, don't be like this, admit defeat like this without even fighting, it's not like you! ”

"If you're like that, what's the difference with Jose Mourinho, we might as well go to Chelsea!"

"We love your style, Professor!"

"Ahh I can't stand it, Wenger, what the hell are you going to do? Do you have to give up so quickly about what you insist on? ”

……

Although the coaching bench in La Liga is not the same as in the Premier League, it is a bit far from the stands, but even so, Wenger has heard some unfriendly voices.

Boos, scolding, he is used to these, and it is not a big deal, anyway, Arsenal is indeed playing very passively on the pitch now, and he doesn't think there is anything strange about it, just scold.

He's actually quite difficult to do now, if he chooses to attack, what if he loses the ball? It's hard to turn the tables when you get back to your home stadium.

And he also found a thing, now it's not a question of whether he can attack or not, but once he loses his advantage, he can't attack if he wants to, Real Madrid's attack line is too strong, and he has to defend wholeheartedly, as for the attack, he can only hand it over to the players to fight back, fortunately, his players are still relatively young and can run.

As for the ridicule and humiliation of the media and commentators, he can only act as if he didn't hear it, because he can't be swayed by those things, he also likes beautiful football, aggressive football, the problem is that if you want to attack, you have to get yourself on your feet first.

This is the Bernabeu Stadium, it is the home of Real Madrid, Arsenal has too many disadvantages here, if you play directly against the attack, it is definitely a very loss, so he didn't think it was a stupid thing to defend at the beginning, but he felt that it was a kind of caution, a kind of prudence.

In fact, he didn't play like this before, when he played with Dortmund, he was basically suppressed by Dortmund away, but he still relied on a counterattack to successfully kill Dortmund, perhaps it was because of that time that he tasted the sweetness that he is now a little addicted to the tactics of defensive counterattacks.

Today's situation is not bad, on the surface Arsenal is very disadvantaged, but in fact, Real Madrid has been attacking for more than 30 minutes, but has never scored, this is a victory of defensive tactics. (To be continued......)
