Arsene Wenger, who had not announced his squad before, suddenly announced He Xu's starting role the day before the game, which made the Arsenal players feel that their morale was greatly boosted, but also gave the Barcelona players a lot of psychological burden, especially the Barcelona defender Gerrard, who had been played many times by He Xu in the direct dialogue of the national derby. Pique.

Some people are happy and some are worried, while Pique is nervous, some people are very excited to look forward to this matchup, such as their forward Liang Zhao. Liang Zhao and He Xu seem to have not met head-on in the Champions League for a long time, although they are the best brothers, but an occasional head-to-head duel seems to be a good way to enhance their relationship.

While the team doctor was surprised to say to He Xu's ankle that he could play, He Xu still decided to take responsibility for his future, so he informed Wenger that he only had half a game to play. While Wenger expressed his understanding and praise, he also proposed to let He Xu play again in the second half, but He Xu refused, he felt that as the captain, he should be at the forefront when it was critical and play his role when the pressure was greatest. Arsene Wenger agreed......

When he stood side by side with Liang Zhao, who was still stunned, at the entrance of the players' tunnel, Liang Zhao spoke first: "Are all your injuries really healed?" The two men spoke Chinese, and the teammates around them could only look at them in confusion.

He Xu gritted his teeth, "Of course, if it's not completely good?" Do you think I'll be able to play? But then again, why did you kid get mixed up with the captain? Even if Iniesta doesn't play, isn't there still Messi and Busquets? ”

Liang Zhao smiled. "In the last captaincy election, I became the vice-captain of Barcelona and now Andres is suspended, but I am ahead of Leo and Sergio. Don't change the subject, your wounds have healed, haven't they! Then I'm going to have a big fight with you without reservation! Wait to accept my attack! ”

He Xu said with a bit of a lifting: "I will not accept your attack!" Don't forget, I'm a striker, so what you said might be more appropriate for Chen Boyan, right? The two men said, leading the team onto the court side by side.

He Xu almost showed up and was cheered by the fans at the scene. Their captain is back from injury at a critical moment! Once again, they became invincible gunners. How about Barcelona? We can fight you too.

He Xu is not the only one who has made a comeback in the line of fire, Leroy. Fer and Ronaldinho both returned in time, and Arsenal were finally able to play with a squad that was relatively close to the main team. In order to deal with the small and fast Barcelona front, Wenger deliberately replaced De Vrij. Chen Boyan also has Godin, who is very familiar with Barcelona. Godin used to play for Atletico Madrid. I've been dealing with the Barcelona players for a long time.

On the Barcelona side. Pep Guardiola is clearly not backing down, and he has also lined up in a back three formation, and three strikers. In front of Ter Stegen. Pique was the only one, flanked by wing-backs Alves and Jordi. Alba, these two are also idle players who like to attack, Busquets at the back, and Thiago on the left and right of the midfield. Alcantara and his younger brother Raphinha, the forward position is naturally the new vice-captain Liang Zhao. The three strikers are Neymar, Pedro and Lionel Messi. It has to be said that although Xavi and Puyol, the two banner players, have hung up their boots and retired, Barcelona's strength does not seem to have been affected.

When the team entered, Xiao Luo also specially hugged his good brother Messi warmly, Xiao Luo's teammate when he was in Barcelona, and now he is left. Of course, he has not forgotten his national team brother Neymar.

He Xu looked at Xiao Luo, and was glad that he was still able to fight with this green elf in the same team at the end of his career.

In the cheers of the Gunners fans, He Xu and Garrincha kicked the ball away, and it seems that they are still in very good shape. Charlie was put in the position of the forward midfielder, but his position is still a little backward overall, more like a central midfielder, with some offensive and defensive feelings. Maybe Wenger also knows that if you want to see Liang Zhao, you need Massimo. Charlie, and if you want to penetrate Busquets, you can't do without him.

Lars. Bender and Leroy. Fell, the bigger task in this game is to guard against the Alcantara brothers on the wing, these two guys are not so easy to deal with.

After He Xu passed the ball to Garrincha, he ran forward, he knew that his time was limited and his opponent was strong, so he couldn't waste a minute or second! Garrincha didn't pass the ball back to Massimo, after receiving the ball himself, he pulled horizontally, dodged Liang Zhao's grab, and broke forward, seeing that there was a gap around He Xu, Garrincha's ball was immediately passed out. The fans at the scene were excited, He Xu has such magic, as long as he gets the ball, the fans will be very excited, which makes Wenger feel very strange, with his own atmosphere talent.

He Xu, who received the ball, was also a little surprised, how did I get to such a high position all of a sudden? Is there only one Pique left in front of you? Hey, handsome guy, is your wife okay? I think she must be good because you don't seem to be so good.

He Xu always viciously suspected that Pique must have been dragged by the South American diva to sing every night, otherwise why did he decline so quickly after getting married? There must be a direct connection to this!

Pique looked nervously at He Xu, who didn't push too hard, but passed the ball to the feet of Royce, who was standing just right. The moment Reus got the ball, he quickly got rid of Alba's defense, and these two speedy players just soared on the side, and it looked like Reus should have a greater advantage!

When he got to the baseline, he slammed his legs and looked like he was going to cross, and when Alba wanted to block him, he slammed the ball back, brushed Alba's side, and burst into the box.

The scene cheered again, Royce's popularity is also very high, in addition to playing the ball well, presumably handsome is also an important factor. Just like at this time, Zhang Miao and Elena, who were sitting next to Tang Lintian, were calling Royce's name loudly. Tang Lintian said a little sourly: "When Leroy got the ball, why didn't you see you shouting so happily?" ”

Zhang Miao didn't wait to speak, Elena immediately replied: "A defensive player, an offensive player!" Can this be the same? You don't understand such a simple truth? Really, you're still a professional player?! ”

Reuss' incisive shot was blocked by his former club team-mate and his national team team-mate, and Garrincha, who had a follow-up shot, sent the ball out of bounds, and the shot was too quick to control the course of the ball.

Because they are both teams that attack with the ball and emphasize skill, the two teams are inseparable, and the game is very exciting, and there will always be very subtle cooperation and individual performances.

Time passed unconsciously, and He Xu, who was still worried about his time at first, forgot about this later, and was still like in previous games, until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half of the game, He Xu realized, I damn it! Is my time? That's not right! My legs are still quite normal, and my body doesn't feel uncomfortable! No problem, you can continue to play in the second half! It must be like this, I'll tell the coach!

It's a pity that when he happily came to Wenger's side, Wenger just waved his hand, "Don't say it!" After the game, I let Mario warm up! He Xu was a little surprised by Wenger's seriousness and irrefutable attitude.

"Coach! You trust me! I'm fine, we still have a chance, I'll score in the second half! Arsène! ”

Wenger suddenly looked at He Xu very sternly, "You mean, without your goal, our team would not be able to do it?" ”

"It's not! That's not what I meant, sir! I just think ......"

"That's not what it means, just sit on the sidelines and rest! Don't bother me with my tactical set-up for the second half! ”

He Xu had no choice but to shut up, changed into a long-sleeved jersey and sat on the sidelines. He really doesn't understand why Wenger didn't let him continue to play, maybe only Wenger himself, and the old Chinese medicine doctor who helped He Xu temporarily "heal" the injury, understand. Of course, half an hour later, He Xu himself seemed to understand.

The Barcelona players watched the halftime break, and the substitutions made by Arsenal felt a sigh of relief, while the Arsenal players were a little uncomfortable because of the captain's down, after all, Ba Shen and He Xu's styles are still different.

At this moment, many Arsenal fans have understood that their captain has not recovered from injury at all, and it is just for the team to temporarily play for half an hour. So what's going on with him now? This time the morale of the whole Arsenal army was greatly damaged, from the players to the fans, they were a little depressed.

Liang Zhao also thought about it, He Xu must have lied to himself before the game, Liang Zhao was a little annoyed in his heart, his state was not the best, and I couldn't lead my team ahead of them!

But Liang Zhao is not an easily depressed person, not to mention that his captains are watching his performance from the sidelines, except for Iniesta, who rotated, Xavi and Puyol, who entered the coaching staff, sat next to Guardiola and watched him.

There's no way I'm going to let them down! Liang Zhao is getting braver and braver with such an idea, coupled with the difficulties of Messi and Neymar, Arsenal is already a little unbearable. Barcelona's offensive ability is still so terrifying.

In the end, in between the two sides, Arsenal lasted for 70 minutes and finally collapsed, Messi broke through De Vrij, completed a two-to-one with Liang Zhao, got rid of Chen Boyan, and then scored with a low left-footed shot.

Twelve minutes later, Liang Zhao sealed the victory with a long-range shot, 0-2 at home, He Xu, who was sitting on the sidelines, felt that his heart was sinking, and he had seen the end of his team.

Another year of the Champions League, goodbye...... (To be continued......)
