The media that support Arsenal are a little prepared for what Zhang Tiehan wants to say in an interview, and one year is enough for the English media to know about Zhang Tiehan, and it is because they know Zhang Tiehan that they don't have much indignation when they hear Zhang Tiehan say that Liverpool will win.

In fact, the Arsenal players are also emphasising that 'Arsenal must win'.

For example, Reyes said in an interview, "We came to Paris to take away the championship, and since we have come to this point, there is no reason to leave with failure." "The Spaniard is still very confident.

However, Zhang Tiehan can say that, reporters can be patient, that is because Zhang Tiehan is the top scorer in the Premier League and the Champions League, in comparison, Reyes's table is not very satisfactory, so far, Reyes has made 31 appearances for Arsenal this season, scoring 9 goals, of which 6 are league goals, 1 Champions Cup goal, and two are cup goals, such an unsatisfactory table, With an average of 0.3 goals per game, it really doesn't make people feel that he has any qualifications to say victory, and perhaps the Spanish boy should look forward to his performance in the Champions League final more than talking about victory.

Arsenal reporters thought Reyes was a bit arrogant, not to mention neutral media and even Liverpool's media, and he was soon harassed by reporters.

However, Reyes is no longer the crying kid in Spain a few years ago, he has experience in dealing with reporters, the level of spit has skyrocketed, and he seems calm and calm in front of reporters, and lists several reasons why Arsenal must win-

The whole Arsenal team is very confident

Arsenal have done a good job of preparing and Mr Wenger has a good tactical plan

Arsenal are in excellent form

Compared to Liverpool, Arsenal's desire to survive is stronger, after all, Liverpool won the title once last year, and this time it should belong to Arsenal.

I don't know what the media in other countries will think when they hear Reyes's remarks, but in short, the media reporters in Italy, Germany, and Spain are not looking good. The Spanish guy doesn't know, his last summary offended a lot of other national media, what is 'Liverpool won the championship last time, this time it's Arsenal's turn', when the Champions League is the Premier League, how can it be an English team.

OK. It's not often that a guy like Reyes doesn't look good and talks about the championship in front of him.

Compared to Reyes, Arsenal's first striker Thierry Henry is much more sincere.

Before the decisive battle, Henry and Zhang Tiehan were definitely the two most high-profile interview subjects, one was Arsenal's core striker, the other was Liverpool's core striker, one was the second highest scorer in the Premier League, and the other was the Premier League scorer king, with 27 and 29 league goals respectively. It's pretty close, and now that the two teams meet at the Stade de Paris, the media is looking forward to a goal-scoring duel between the two strikers.

It's truly positive absolutely!

Henry was also interviewed by France Football and, when asked a few questions, Henry's expression was very candid.

"What do you think of this season for Arsenal?"

"At first, we were skeptical it was going to be a black season. I've been injured myself, Saul Campbell and Ashley Cole have been injured for a while. There was almost no one in training, not even the 16 on the competition roster. In the league. We paid for it. ”

"Are there any other factors that explain your toughest season in London?"

"Vieira's departure should be recalled. Once upon a time, his opponents had two men to guard him, and Pire and Ljungberg were much freer than they are now. We even asked Flamini to play at left-back, and he's a right-footed player. I take my hat off and salute him, he learns in pain. You know, we can't ask a young player to be good right away. After going through this stage. We can free ourselves to try something. Me, when I first came to Arsenal, I followed this step. ”

"On the road, Arsenal is not good"

'We often lose by one goal. It's because of youth. We did even better after going to Madrid. If you can score one or two goals against the opponent, it's even more difficult for him to turn around. ”

"Is it a question of efficiency, and the explanation is that the team relies too heavily on you?"

"No, our first emphasis is on the team. Lehmann, Gilberto, Bergkamp, Campbell, we said to ourselves that we had to steer the team up, we couldn't do it alone, we should bet on the youngsters. I scored some goals, but remembering that the guy who got the final blow wasn't necessary. At a given time, we were in 8th place, 15th closer than 4th. ”

"The ending makes you happy, and it's done in defeating sworn enemies Tottenham"

"It's a special pleasure to take back the right to compete from them. First of all, the atmosphere was special, it was the last game in Highbury. Secondly, for the fans, it's like winning the championship. ”

After the reporter talked to Henry about some things about Arsenal this season, he began to talk about Henry's personal and his transfer rumors, many people know that Henry is leaving Arsenal, and it is very likely to transfer to Barcelona, which is related to some news about Barcelona and Henry, and also related to some of Henry's personal expressions, as well as some of what Wenger said, it is certain that Henry must have thought about leaving, and Barcelona also hopes that Henry can join, but Arsenal must be hoping to keep Henry, After all, they don't like their top scorer to leave at a very low transfer price, it is definitely a loss for Arsenal, and Wenger and Henry have been in a relationship for so many years, the bond between Arsenal and Henry, when Henry is at the peak of his career, Arsenal does not want to lose Henry anyway.

The reporter asked the key question, "How do you explain that kiss you gave to the turf after scoring the third goal?" ”

This is one of the biggest focus of Thierry Henry's transfer rumours, which was at Highbury Stadium, where Thierry Henry kissed the pitch after scoring a hat-trick, which was interpreted by the media as 'Henry's farewell kiss to Arsenal'.

In addition, there were some interesting tidbits on the pitch from both legs of Arsenal's vs Villarreal. In the first leg at Highbury, a cute little squirrel broke into the pitch and attracted everyone's affection, but in the second leg at the Love Song Stadium, it was a Barcelona fan who broke in, and his actions must have made Arsenal fans very uncomfortable.

In the second half is about to begin. When the players from both sides entered the field, suddenly a fan escaped the eyes of the security guards and rushed into the stadium, only to see that he was strong, walking like flying, wearing an Argentine jersey. The middle-aged man ran up to Arsenal captain Thierry Henry and shoved him with a Barcelona No. 14 shirt held up in his hand before the stadium security staff could stop him.

The bewildered Henry was awkward, as Barcelona had been rumored to want him to join, including Samuel Eto'o and Ronaldo, who had made public offers in the media. Thierry Henry's contract extension talks with Arsenal have not yet begun, and the fan's actions have given them a bad premonition.

Thierry Henry exhaled long breaths, he knew he had to say something to give Arsenal fans confidence in him, but in fact he hadn't decided whether to leave yet, "I'm going to do my best to clear up all the rumours. It was a goodbye kiss to the pitch, not to the team, and we were moving into a new stadium. But I will never forget the memories of Highbury. ”

This can be explained.

This season is important for Arsenal, not results or anything. Rather, after the Premier League this month, they will move to a new stadium and start a new journey.

Despite being one of the most recognisable stadiums in the world, Arsenal are aware that they have to have a bigger and better stadium to compete with Europe's elite clubs, and Highbury is too small. It was manager Arsene Wenger who first proposed the construction of the new stadium, "I don't remember exactly when I proposed it to the board, probably after we won the Double in 1998, and although I was actively involved in it, I was not a director. So I'm just involved as a consultant, I'm just the manager of the team and I have a responsibility to contribute to the growth of the club and it's important that the club has a vision. ”

Due to a lack of funds, the club announced that the completion of the new stadium would be postponed from 2005 to 2006, which led to a lot of speculation and even rumours that the team would use Highbury to share a stadium with Tottenham Hotspur.

Arsene Wenger refuted this claim, saying: "We will look at different builds, but all the while we were focused on the new build, we also looked at rebuilding Highbury Stadium but that would only add 7,000 seats, and trust us, we have thought a lot and found that Ashburton-Grove is the most suitable place. ”

"It was the most important decision in Arsenal's history since Chapman was brought in 1925."

The construction of a new stadium is also an important reason why Arsenal has been financially strapped in recent years, the new stadium is planned to cost 390 million pounds, and the construction of the stadium in the past three years, a total of 470 million pounds has been spent, such a huge amount of money even if the Arsenal club has a board of directors to inject funds, there is no improvement in the economic aspect, fortunately, Arsenal signed a sponsorship contract with Emirates worth a total of 100 million pounds, get this injection, Arsenal can complete the construction of the new stadium in the plan, Because the new stadium is named 'Emirates Stadium', the literal translation is Emirates Stadium, and from the first season of the new stadium's opening, that is, next season, Emirates Airlines replaced O2 as the main sponsor of Arsenal's jerseys for eight years.

Of course, the most important thing is the decisive battle with Liverpool.

"What does it mean to be back at the Stade de France?"

"I'm excited to come back here and compete. But most importantly, the final was a great moment. ”

"Do you think you're going to win, or are Liverpool going to win?"

"Honestly, I think Liverpool are more champions, their number 13 is quite good, compared to him, I am very surprised by a lot of his goals and scoring efficiency, this season, he is the most high-profile in Europe, although Florence's players have won the European Golden Boot, but I think this award should include Champions League goals, otherwise it is not fair." ”

"That way, there's no doubt that he'll get the highest honor for a goalscorer."

"But we are also very confident that we will try our best to win, and I myself will try to do my best for the team to win. I hope we will win in the end, thank you. ”

The above is the last interview before the game, Henry is modest, and Reyes's interview has made many media dissatisfied, which may also be the wisdom of the players off the pitch, whatever they are capable of. Even Henry has to compliment his opponent, just because Zhang Tiehan has scored more goals than him, and Arsenal has indeed failed to win two meetings with Liverpool this season, Zhang Tiehan said 'must win', that is because of Liverpool's results, because of his goal table, Reyes said that there is no capital.

So when the game starts, it can be imagined that there is no Reyes in the Arsenal line-up. The Spaniard is not expected to be treated well by Wenger either.

Although many media believe that Arsenal will partner Thierry Henry and Reyes, in fact, as more media speculate, Arsenal's starting lineup still has only one striker.

Arsenal have done that for most of the season.

This may be related to the departure of Patrick Vieira last summer, Vieira left Arsenal, and the ability of Arsenal's midfield has declined a lot, so in Arsenal's tactical system, the role of two strikers is very limited, rather than sending two strikers. It's better to be at the forefront of Henry alone, and the efficiency will not be much lower. An extra midfielder can always complement the midfield's ability and make Arsenal better overall in both defence and attack.

Perhaps more importantly, the youngster Cesc Fabregas is not mature enough and he needs a better environment to make a difference, and the combination of five midfielders will allow Cesc Fabregas to have more options and support in the middle of the midfield. This will also make him less stressed, and his watch will be better.

In this game, Arsene Wenger arranged such a starting lineup.

The midfield five, from left to right, are Hleb, Gilberto, Cesc Fabregas, Ljungberg and Pire.

The defensive combination has not changed much, with Eboue and Ashley Cole being Arsenal's untouchable full-backs. Campbell and Toure are even more impenetrable centre-backs.

Arsenal's starting line-up was not unexpected.

Liverpool has also not made any changes, Zhang Tiehan is still at the front, but the formation is not 451, but 4231, Liverpool's style of play is different from Arsenal, Liverpool is not good at attacking and defending, but also a steady team, two back combinations Gerrard and Sissoko, three defenders are Reese, Alonso and Garcia, four defenders Angel, Hyypia, Carragher, Warnock.

After the opening of the game, the offensive rhythm of both teams was not strong, and it seemed that they had to test their opponents and find a feeling for the game.

All the media are prepared for this, although the two teams are very familiar with each other, but after all, this is the Champions League final, there is no room for a little mistake, which player has a mistake is likely to lead the whole team to lose, then he is likely to become a 'tragedy', there is no shortage of such examples in the history of football, and there are many, those are players who have made mistakes in heavy competitions, in fact, it is just a small mistake, but in such a heavy competition, a goal is likely to determine the ownership of the championship trophy.

There is no shortage of pressure on the players of both teams.

On the Arsenal side, Arsene Wenger told the players to try to play the team's rhythm in the game this season, Arsenal's rhythm is their unique football, full attack, fast attack, this may be able to describe Arsenal, Arsenal's rhythm is fast, fast attack, fast goals, if the team can play with feeling, the French believe that the team will win the game.

As for Zhang Tiehan's defense, Wenger did not arrange anything in particular.

In fact, up to now, the two teams are too familiar with each other, and they are very familiar with Zhang Tiehan, the opponents of the Premier League, and of course, Arsenal, every coach knows that it is almost impossible to completely limit a star player like Zhang Tiehan, and it is better to put energy into his team's attack than to focus on defending Zhang Tiehan.

Arsenal's game is to score goals with Liverpool!

That's what Wenger thinks.

Arsenal did the same, in the first ten minutes of the game, they didn't score so fiercely, but gradually, their tempo began to pick up, at this time there was no need to command, Liverpool also knew what to do, that is, to strengthen the confrontation, limit Arsenal's attack, so that they could not play with feeling, otherwise let Arsenal play a tailwind. That's kind of scary.

But this restriction is not very effective.

In the 16th minute, Arsenal's attack came close to breaking the Liverpool goal, and it was a brilliant example from Cesc Fabregas, who received a pass from a team-mate in the middle, burst out and shook off Gerrard, before slotting the ball into the box with a brilliant through ball. Henry catches the ball and turns and volleys directly!

Reina's reaction speed is quite fast, which may be related to the fact that he has been training with Zhang Tiehan, the moment Henry shoots, Reina pounces to the side, he is a subconscious action at all, and he doesn't even see the route of the football, and his body flies out directly.

The ball bounced straight into Reina's body and bounced to the ground, before Carragher kicked off the touchline.

This attack made Liverpool fans break out in a cold sweat!

It's too dangerous!

"Reina! He saved a must-score! I have to say, the game so far. The best thing about the table is Reina, this ball is simply amazing! Henry's shot was almost a must, in that position, at that angle, we could see that the moment Henry turned to shoot, Reina had already saved, and the reaction was really fast! It seems that he is in good form today. Encountering such a Reina, Arsenal may have a headache! ”

The form of a goalkeeper can really make the difference between winning and losing a game. Now Reina's watch has reassured Liverpool a lot, and Thierry Henry's shot just now has also scared the Liverpool players.

Zhang Tiehan couldn't help but give Reina a thumbs up in the midfield.

He hasn't had any good chances since the start of the game, just a few attacks, the team's overall appearance is not good, and he himself has a mistake, which is in the middle of the midfield by the opponent's two. He wanted to play with Garcia, but he kicked the ball at Gilberto, almost causing a quick counter-attack.

But overall, the team was a little flustered by Arsenal's attack, and Zhang Tiehan hurriedly told everyone to stabilize.

He believes that in a normal game, Arsenal is no opponent.

After the restart of the game. Liverpool began to play steadily, Zhang Tiehan got the ball more times in the front, at this time many Arsenal players felt that Zhang Tiehan was not as good as rumored, ten minutes, twenty minutes of the game, he did not have any outstanding performance, and he made a mistake, in the midfield, the table xiàn was just a pass with his teammates, and there was only one shot, and the table xiàn was really rare.

The hearts of many Arsenal players have stabilized.

At this moment, Zhang Tiehan received a pass from his teammates at the front of the penalty area, which was Garcia from the side, Garcia got the ball and wanted to take it forward, to the bottom line and then pass back to the penalty area, so that he could create a good chance, but Hleb's defense gave him a bit of a headache, and after slowing down, he had to protect the ball and pass it to his teammates.

Hleb originally thought that Garcia would try to pass him, in fact, Garcia usually does this, but now that it is the Champions League final, Garcia does not want to give Arsenal a chance by making a mistake, and he plays a lot more steadily, so he chooses to pass.

The football arrived at the feet of Zhang Tiehan.

Arsenal's defense is still very solid, Zhang Tiehan after getting the ball, glanced at the direction of the penalty area, there are at least three Arsenal players there, the two central defenders Toure and Campbell are at the edge of the penalty area, and further into the penalty area, that is the offside position.

However, he swept away Gerrard, who was running forward on the right, and suddenly hoisted the ball behind Campbell.

No one expected Zhang Tiehan to kick like this!

Shouldn't he always shoot or make a short pass when he gets the ball? How do you choose to pass the ball to the penalty area, this is usually the work done by other Liverpool players, and often he is the one who goes to grab points and find opportunities.

The Arsenal players were stunned for a moment.

This moment allowed Gerrard to overtake Campbell to grab the ball, and then he had a chance to face goalkeeper Lehmann alone, but the opportunity was not very good, Gerrard got the ball at a small angle to the goal, coupled with the defense of Campbell next to him, he remembered that the chance of scoring with his foot was not good.

However, Gerrard opted to shoot anyway.

It's better to have a chance than no chance, it was a chance to shoot, and if you win, you could go in and give your team the lead over Arsenal, but in the end the ball hit Lehmann and bounced off.

The ball bounced very high and hung into the sky before falling, which made many players have time to run to the landing point.

The Arsenal defenders want to clear the ball out of the penalty area, and the Liverpool players are naturally grabbing points to find opportunities, Zhang Tiehan will definitely not miss such an opportunity, he stands at the landing point of football and Ljungberg, Toure and Fabregas three people to grab positions.

One V Three.

The number is at an absolute disadvantage, but for Zhang Tiehan, Fabregas next to him really can't pose a threat, Ljungberg is a little troublesome, but this is a penalty area, it is estimated that he does not dare to foul with big moves, and Toure is the most troublesome.

Toure has a lot of experience, he is in the most suitable position, jamming Zhang Tiehan, if Zhang Tiehan knocks him down hard, it is likely to be a foul, so Toure stands steadily, just waiting for the football to fall.

What about Cesc Fabregas?

He was acting on the side, as if he wanted to cause some obstacles to Zhang Tiehan to grab the high-altitude ball, but it was obvious that his approach did not have much effect, he kept squeezing the position, but Zhang Tiehan did not move at all.

A lot happened in this moment and everyone was preparing for the fall of football.

Zhang Tiehan was trying to squeeze the position, when the football fell to a certain height, he jumped up from the spot, but the influence of Ljungberg and Cesc Fabregas made it difficult for him to jump too high, with the help of his teammates, Toure jumped up easily, he was in a better position than Zhang Tiehan, and the jump was also smoother, and the two had physical contact in the air.

Just when Toure felt that he could successfully clear the ball, Zhang Tiehan clenched his teeth and squeezed hard.

Toure immediately fell to one side with unsteady, and at the same time, Zhang Tiehan's body was also unstable, but he still took the lead, barely holding his body, and let the football smash on the back of his head and change direction and fly towards the goal.

The ball didn't hit the ball with much force, it didn't go out at a good angle, but the route was towards the goal, and the fluttering force really didn't look like there was much hope of scoring, even if Lehmann was standing in the middle of the goal, but he still had time to save the ball.

At this moment, Reese, who was outflanked on the right, rushed out!

In the first twenty minutes of the game, perhaps everyone in the audience had forgotten about Reese, his appearance was really inconspicuous, and even speaking, he only had a few passes, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the worst person in the whole game.

But at this moment, Riser shone to the extreme.

After he rushed out, it seemed that he was using the top of his head to change the course of the football, and Lehmann in front of the goal was taken aback, but no one expected that Reese was running too fast and failed to stabilize his body at the moment of jumping, and as a result, after jumping, he fell directly from the sky to the grass before he could top the ball, which looked quite funny like rushing out and doing a dog gnawing action.

But his movements caused Lehmann to panic for a moment, and by the time he could react, the ball had flown into the Arsenal goal from the right side.

That's how weird goals are all about goals

At this moment, Reese, who did not touch the ball at all and covered his cheeks and grinned on the grass, became a hero of Liverpool! (To be continued......)
