What was originally a game that was nine out of ten turned into a thrilling and magical reversal, and the effect was considerable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as the game was played, various reports began to swipe the screen, and the next day, comments about the game were overwhelming, sweeping all major platforms. The vast majority of those comments were relishing the scoreless first half and the late counter-attack, naturally ignoring the tactical mistakes made by Arsenal.

It's easy to understand.

It's hard to describe the blood-pumping nature of a one-sided game, and only suspense, twists, and the ubiquitous luck can depict the power that erupts in a desperate situation. For the hilarious layman, these things are much more interesting than boring tactics, and they bring enough attention to last a long time.

This is a fortunate thing for a team that lives in the shadow of Manchester United and can only use its own blood-forming ability to maintain the cost of building the stadium.

The so-called "blessing in disguise".

Football is a sport that needs stars, and the value of stars is reflected in this life-and-death moment. Similarly, the reason why a team can attract a large number of non-local fans is largely due to the charisma of the star players.

In such a memorable game, three of the top five scorers each scored a goal and helped the team complete a magical comeback in their own way. Although none of the three guys are English, and each of them has been in the Premier League for a shorter time, this does not prevent them from becoming heroes in the hearts of fans, representing the Premier League on the European battlefield.

Perhaps they still have flaws in them, and there is no small amount of controversy; Perhaps a Champions League round of 16 match is of little significance, and Arsenal, which has completed a historic breakthrough, should have eliminated their opponents and entered the quarterfinals; Maybe they haven't helped the team win any of the heavyweight titles yet, and it's too early to become heroes.......

But after such a heart-pounding game, how many people are willing to keep their sanity and regain their old views?

The answer is obviously not many.

“...... A game that could have been won safely has become a suspense novel, which makes people's hearts still beat violently after reading the ending. ”

Martin Taylor writes in his new column: "It has to be said that Arsène Wenger is a master of creating suspense. He did not hesitate to join the adventure in the originally mediocre script, entertaining to death with an attitude that would rather suffocate people than easily let go of every audience! ”

"It might be a bit misleading to say that, so it's better to put it another way."

"If it were Alex Ferguson's Manchester United, we would only see a boring first half and a more anxious opponent, and a second half without any suspense."

"There is no contrast, maybe it can't make a distinct impression, this time Wenger and his disciples told everyone with practical actions: only you can't think of it, no Arsenal team can't do it!"

"By the way, how many games have you been unbeaten in the league?"

The commentary, which may seem lighthearted and witty, actually pointed out the tactical mistake Wenger had made. However, as a loyal fan, Martin Taylor did not deliberately emphasize the problems that this kind of mistake caused the team, but instead used a more positive attitude to face the mistakes and look for gains beyond the trouble.

He knew very well what the future of the team would be facing, and in the atmosphere of national entertainment, he was keenly aware of the wonderful smell of opportunity when it came, so he decided to give it a boost.

He doesn't think Wenger is unaware of the mistakes he has made, he just chooses to believe what the manager of this team believes in his disciples.

"Welcome to Premier League New Humans, Thierry, I'm Martin Taylor, your big fan."

Thursday night after seven o'clock in the Sky Sports studio.

Henry was originally a little nervous, but fortunately, the old driver led the way, and he sat in the front seat in a few steps and looked at the scenery outside the window.

Martin Taylor's preparation is very meticulous, and the important information about the player's personality is very thorough in advance, and an introverted and shy type like Henry needs a relaxed atmosphere to turn work into a pleasure.

"Seven months and fifteen days into this team, you're the top scorer in the team, Arsene Wenger's ace. And before that, Juventus can't even guarantee you a place in the main line. ”

"Yes, to be exact, it was because of my positioning that I left Serie A and came to the Premier League after half a season."

"Is there an urge to raise your arms and shout at the Italian media who mock you? I mean, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, you have a 20% chance of drawing Juventus......

Hearing such a question, Henry was stunned for a moment.

The shame of being abandoned by a wealthy family in the year of the fight is enough to deal a devastating blow to many people's careers. He is one of the lucky ones, and in just half a year, he got rid of his demons and found his true self on another battlefield. But despite this, who will forget the cynicism, and how many can continue to move forward calmly in the face of contempt?

If the name Juventus is not mentioned, his busy and fulfilling life will gradually make him forget that unbearable experience. Just when it will be forgotten, the two teams are standing in the quarterfinals of the Champions League at the same time, and there is no telling when there will be a battle of life and death!

Revenge...... The battle?

"It seems that you are not mentally prepared for the reunion so soon, so let's pray for the results of the lottery in half an hour."

Martin Taylor said with a smile and pointed to the big screen next to him.

It says Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munihe, Juventus, Benfica, Arsenal, Inter Milan. These eight teams still need to avoid group stage opponents and league teams before reaching the last four, so Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, Juventus, Inter Milan, one of the five old European powerhouses, will be Arsenal's quarter-final opponents.

Of the five opponents, Arsenal eliminated Inter Milan and Barcelona in succession last year, and from the perspective of mutual understanding and strength comparison, these two opponents are obviously more certain. Of the other three opponents, Real Madrid are the undisputed favourites and are in great form at the moment, and no one wants to meet them too soon. Bayern Munich and Juventus are also doing well in their respective leagues, and the experienced European players will be a tough nut for any team.

In this analysis, the situation facing the two Premier League teams is not optimistic.

Manchester United's performances began to fluctuate after the Flying Bootgate incident and the subsequent departure of David Beckham. Although AC Milan was eliminated on penalties to reach the quarter-finals, the performance in both legs lacked the domineering that the defending champions should have, giving people the feeling of struggling to support. Among the opponents in the quarterfinals, it seems that only Benfica is a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch, and the others are not optimistic.

Arsenal still face old problems.

The bench thickness is not enough!

As the season progresses, there are more and more key battles, especially in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, and any opponent will need to play with the spirit of 12 points and face the challenge with the strongest lineup. This is undoubtedly a headache for a team with few secrets in the starting line-up for every game.

Without a bunch of bench bandits on the pitch to disrupt the game, the team's tactical style of play is easy to fix, rigid, and thoroughly studied by the opponent. At the same time, due to the lack of effective rotation, once the 11 players on the field have injuries or form problems, there is little room for adjustment, and if you are not careful, you will be like dominoes, handing over the fruits of hard work to others.

"It's not easy to deal with." Henry told the truth, "Even strictly speaking, Benfica, who look the weakest, could be spoilers. ”

Martin Taylor nodded and continued to lead the rhythm, "In fact, from the audience's point of view, Bayern and Juventus are the best opponents, otherwise if they are two old faces of Inter Milan or Barcelona, it will be a bit of visual fatigue and a lot of topics will be missing." ”

He added: "Actually, Real Madrid with David Beckham is also a good opponent, but if you want you to go further, it's better to meet later." ”

Henry nodded, as if he had suddenly figured it out, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth, "Yes, although Inter Milan and Barcelona are very good opponents for me, for a team that aims to win the championship, you can't hope for familiar opponents. We need to show the form we had at the end of the last game to beat one strong opponent after another, whether they are European giants or not, and how many enviable titles we have won. ”

Martin Taylor's eyes lit up as he said this, and his voice rose an octave, "That's right! Now that you can beat the star-studded Inter Milan and Barcelona, there's no reason to doubt your quality! ”

Henry was unmoved, and said calmly: "Even if I draw Juventus, I don't think I'll be too excited." Like any other name, it means that you have to beat your opponent and you need to do your best. ”

Hearing this, Martin Taylor leaned forward slightly, and the essence flashed in his eyes, "But compared to other opponents, the meaning will be different, right?" Especially when you return to the familiar stadium and face possible doubts, will your heart still be as calm as it is now? ”

"No, no." Henry sat up straight, "It will definitely be different, I think, even if I don't want to mention that past, the media will not let go of such a good topic." ”

Martin Taylor laughed, "Like before this game?" ”

"Huh?"

Henry froze.

He didn't expect the other party to be so direct, and he didn't expect that a similar situation might happen to him. His instincts told him that it would be troublesome to continue on such a topic, but he really wanted to know if the mentor who had trained him from the youth team and saved him from his frustration had almost messed everything up because of his desire for revenge.

"It's okay, the show will enter a period of advertising time, and we have plenty of time to talk about this topic."

Martin Taylor smiled and pointed to the camera lens, lightening up what had been a little awkward.

Henry breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became more natural.

"Your question scares me!"

"Just a reminder, there is no malice, if you don't want to answer, then we will continue to talk about the opponent of the draw."

'You know, being a player isn't the right thing to talk about a manager's decisions in public, especially when it's a potentially critical issue.

'Of course I know, I'm just worried that the Arsenal manager will feel guilty about it and disrupt the normal pace of preparation.

"Don't worry, with MO, the problem will pass quickly."

Hearing this, it became Martin Taylor in a daze.

As a media person, there is no way not to be interested in this kind of news, but if you ask too many questions, the relationship that you are not familiar with will become stiff, and you may become an enemy after a show.

"Uh, you're stumped on me, so why don't you talk about mo?"

Hearing such a question, Henry turned against him, "Haha, he's a talkative character!" ”

"Yes, but the most curious thing for me is why he has so much influence, it seems that even your head coach is in the sphere of influence!"

'That's nothing, Chelsea and Manchester United are also in his sphere of influence.'

"What?"

Martin Taylor was surprised to close his mouth and his eyes widened.

Henry had an indifferent expression on his face and spread his hands, "Needless to say, Manchester United, Ferguson's personal relationship with him is far beyond ordinary people's imagination." ”

"Yes, and we."

'It's the same with Chelsea, Roman Abramovich bought Zlatan Ibrahimovic at his suggestion because his bid was rejected.'

"Oh my God......."

Martin Taylor inhaled cold air, if it weren't for the fact that the show was about to restart, he really planned to hold the honest guy in front of him and talk for a few days and nights.

“...... The draw is about to start, how about it, is there a skyrocketing heartbeat? ”

"Okay, I think every opponent is great, and it's a blessing to be able to play against them at the highest level."

"Well, this mindset helps to maintain emotional stability. Okay, let's take a look at the draw. ”

"Manchester United's opponents are...... Wow, Barcelona, it's going to be a big battle between Mars and Earth! ”

"Yes, I'm looking forward to the battle between them."

"Benfica, hey, hey, see whose luck is so good...... Huh, Inter? ”

"Well, it seems that our elimination method has been very successful, and the remaining three opponents are relatively new to Arsenal."

"Real Madrid...... The biggest favourites for this UEFA Champions League, their opponents are....... Bayern Munihe! ”

“.......”

"Dear Thierry Henry, I seem to have accidentally succeeded in my prediction, what should I do?"

"Congratulations."

"Hahaha, thank you!"

"You're welcome."

'The draw is not good or bad for the two Premier League teams and they need to be in high league form to continue to fight for a fourth Champions League place in the European arena.

"Looking forward to the next game."

"Okay, let's remember these two days, April 1st and April 15th. Arsenal will take on the evergreen in the Italian Serie A, the 'old lady' Juventus! (To be continued.) )
