No. 194: The Gunners Arsenal team's bitter master
The first match drawn in the quarter-finals of the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League season was Real Madrid against Tottenham Hotspur.
As soon as the draw came out, the Arsenal players and fans were relieved that Real Madrid was very good and they didn't want to run into Real Madrid at this time.
Seeing that Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur were drawn, the other six teams were even more nervous, and the rest of the teams were not bad, and they all stared at the draw with bated breath.
The first game in the top half of the draw is coming up, and the first one to be drawn is Chelsea from the Premier League, and after the draw from Chelsea, the remaining five teams are very nervous, and they all feel that they will be drawn next.
In front of the TV, Dongfang Chen was also staring closely at the TV screen, and he also felt that the chances of drawing their Arsenal team next were very high.
However, the reality is that Dongfang Chen has been disappointed, although the team that was heavily selected is also from England, but it is not Arsenal, but Manchester United, and Chelsea will play against Manchester United.
This is a civil war for English teams, and so far, three of the four Premier League teams have been drawn, leaving only Arsenal as a Premier League team.
The other three teams are Barcelona, Schalke 04 and Inter Milan, Barcelona are the powerhouses of the Spanish Super League, while Inter Milan are the defending champions of the Champions League, both of which are very strong, and the Arsenal naturally hope to draw Schalke 04.
Of the few remaining teams, it is clear that Schalke 04 are much worse and Arsenal will be hoping to draw them.
The next draw is very crucial, because after this matchup, another matchup is naturally born.
The coaches and fans of the remaining four teams were very nervous and excited, and they were all closely watching the draw this time.
The next team to be drawn out was the strong team Barcelona from Spain, and after seeing this team come out, Dongfang Chen's heart couldn't help but burst out.
It was at this time that Barcelona's opponent was drawn out, Arsenal from England.
Seeing this result, Dongfang Chen sighed in his heart, it seems that good luck will definitely not befall them, the Arsenal team did not meet the minkhtars of the Bundesliga, but met the Barcelona team, this game is a very difficult game for the Arsenal team.
After the draw was over, all eyes were on the match between Arsenal and Barcelona. Because, the Gunners vs. Barcelona, this is likely to be one of the most classic matchups in the Champions League this season.
Both teams play very gorgeously, both are teams holding high the banner of attack, and the collision between these two teams will be a showdown of gorgeous attacking football, which is bound to be a visual feast.
This is not the first time the two sides have met in the Champions League, with the first meeting coming in the 1999 Champions League group stage, when the Gunners lost at home and drew 1-1 away at Barcelona. One of the most poignant memories for the Gunners came in the 2006 Champions League final, at the Parc des Princes in Paris, where Thierry Henry's Arsenal were beaten by two goals despite a 73-minute lead.
That has always been a pain that the Arsenal people are reluctant to talk about, and the Arsenal people are still difficult to let go.
In last season's UEFA Champions League, Arsenal and Barcelona also met in the knockout rounds, and the two sides also met in the quarter-finals, and the history is always strikingly similar.
Last season's encounter between the two sides in the knockout stages has been impressive so far, with Arsenal winning 2-2 at their home turf. Forced a draw against a mighty Barcelona side, but on the road Arsenal did fall to Leo Messi, with the Argentine putting on a super quadruple at the Camp Nou, beating Arsenal 4-1 and eliminating Arsenal 6-3.
Barcelona have been a bitter opponent for Arsenal, who have never beaten Barcelona in the history of the two sides.
The grudge between the two teams is quite deep, this time the two teams meet again, it is obvious that the Arsenal team has obvious revenge intentions, this season they are going to kill the Barcelona team, a shame.
However, now the outside media is not optimistic about the Arsenal team, after all, the historical record of the Arsenal team has not won against the Barcelona team once, and the Barcelona team is the nemesis of the Arsenal team.
However, the outside media is very concerned about this game, and it is a game that is very worth looking forward to.
Now Barcelona and Arsenal are the two most attacking teams in Europe this season, and the clash between these two teams will be the strongest spear in Europe, which naturally attracts everyone's attention.
So far, Barcelona have scored a staggering 132 goals in all competitions this season, with 22 of them netting, making them the top scorers in Europe.
The sharp attack of the Barcelona team has frightened countless teams and made countless experts dumbfounded. Barcelona are simply too strong and they are the favourites to win this UEFA Champions League.
However, Arsenal have also been very attacking this season, and they are the second-highest team in Europe in terms of goals so far this season, behind only Barcelona. So far, Arsenal have scored 105 goals in all competitions this season, an astonishing efficiency, with 16 of them on the scoresheet.
These two teams are the two sharpest spears in Europe today, and when these two teams collide, it is definitely Mars hitting the earth, and now all the fans can't wait, they are very eager to see this game.
Journalists and fans alike know that if these two teams play against each other, it will be a fantastic matchup.
And when the draw came out, Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger said in an interview with the media: "In the first leg in London, my team will try to keep pressing Barcelona and try to try to get the home team to attack. We have to win Barcelona at home so that in the second leg we can win the game better. ”
Arsène Wenger's intentions are clear, and Arsenal must win the home game. Arsène Wenger emphasised the attack, and Arsenal will definitely storm this game and give Barcelona no chance.
Barcelona have been strong this season, and according to their usual style, they will also respond to the changing situation with the same attack.
So, this game is definitely a gorgeous head-to-head battle. When the time comes, fans will get to see one of the most spectacular matches of the season in the Champions League.
In addition to this reason, another reason is that there are a lot of excellent attacking players in the two teams, such as Iniesta, Xavi, Messi, Cesc Fabregas, Nasri, Walcott and Dongfangchen, etc., these attacking geniuses play together, and this game is absolutely exciting.
Another aspect of this game that caught everyone's attention was the duel between two high-level strikers in the two teams, namely Barcelona star Leo Messi and Arsenal star Dongfang Chen.
As for Barcelona, Messi is still a nightmare for Arsenal players, and his senior last season is believed to have chilled the Gunners players who experienced that game, and he will still be Barcelona's most dangerous player in this game.
So far this season, Messi has scored 45 goals in all competitions, and in just three months since 2011, he has scored an astonishing 19 goals.
On Arsenal's side, the most eye-catching and prolific goalscorer is naturally the super striker Dongfang Chen, whom they only brought in this season.
After Dongfang Chen transferred from Manchester United to join Birmingham, he became a representative of high-quality goalscorers, in the first season of the Birmingham team, Dongfang Chen scored more than 40 goals, and after entering the second season, Dongfang Chen was out of control, scored more than 60 goals in all competitions, two seasons, Dongfang Chen scored more than 100 goals in the Birmingham team, entered the club's 100-goal Hall of Fame, and Dongfang Chen is also the only player to enter the Birmingham Club 100-ball Hall of Fame, Dubbed the club's legendary goalscorer by Birmingham fans.
At the beginning of joining the Arsenal team this season, Dongfang Chen fell into a coordination crisis, and did not score in the first seven rounds, falling into a long-term goal drought, which attracted very big doubts and criticism during that period.
However, he withstood the pressure and instantly burst out with a huge amount of energy, showing amazing goalscoring efficiency in the later games.
So far this season, Dongfang Chen has scored 42 goals in all competitions, and in 2011 he has scored 21 goals.
These two shooters are super prolific goalscorers, and now that the two sides meet in the game, who can play better and who is the king of goalscorers? This is something to look forward to.
Now the outside world is very hyped about the matchup between Barcelona and Arsenal, and now everyone is watching this game, and they are all waiting for this game to come.
At this time, Arsenal began to prepare for the sixth round of this season's English FA Cup, which is the quarter-finals, and Arsenal's opponent at this time was the Red Devils Manchester United. The match will be played at the home of the Red Devils Manchester United.
Arsène Wenger and Alex Alex Ferguson have returned to the country to prepare for the Champions League draw after completing the Champions League draw.
The two sides have come to the scene in the English FA Cup, they are naturally unwilling to give up the FA Cup, they also want to win the FA Cup, and they naturally have to go all out in this game.
Of course, Dongfang Chen will not give up this game, because the opponent is Manchester United, until now the grievances between Dongfang Chen and the Manchester United team are accumulating deeper and deeper, and the contradictions between Manchester United fans and Dongfang Chen are becoming more and more intense, in the game against Manchester United, Dongfang Chen will definitely go all out.
And the Manchester United team obviously will not stay, now Dongfang Chen has made their Manchester United team disgraced, they will definitely not let Dongfang Chen get away, this game, they will go all out, let Dongfang Chen suffer, they want to take revenge, let Dongfang Chen know the consequences of offending them.
