Chapter 118: Arsenal's dismount

The last thing Xiao Qing and Arsenal want to face is the German fortitude, and Van Gaal's disciples are clearly aware of this. Despite not winning the Champions Cup last season, Bayern won the Bundesliga and the German Cup. A reunion with Arsenal so soon is clearly what the Germans would love most, and they will have to unleash all their energy to knock the defending champions out.

Xiao Qing has played in Germany for two seasons, and he is really no stranger to Bayern; Xiao Qing knows that the tenacious spirit of the German team often makes the opponent feel broken. This season, Bayern have big ambitions in the Champions League and their strength should not be underestimated.

Arsenal's consistency and strength this season is frightening, and maybe they will have a little twists and turns, but they can still win the game and they can still keep going. And Van Gaal's Bayern was also in a fluctuating state, and it was not until the recent reappearance of the "Robery" combination that it settled down a little. At this time, the two teams met again in the Champions League, which can be described as a narrow road.

For Arsenal, the pressure on them in this game is not small, but Arsenal also has a relatively small chance; After the return of "Robery", Bayern's offensive quality has improved significantly, but Bayern's defense is still full of holes. Facing Xiao Qing, who has the current No. 1 striker and the nightmare of last season's final, Bayern really don't have much confidence, and the central combination of Tymoschchuk and Bad Stuber looks even more unreliable than the original Van Bitten and Demichelis.

In terms of Bayern's starters, Bayern still lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in this game, and Kraft continued to serve as the starting goalkeeper due to the injury of the main goalkeeper Bout. At the back. Lahm and Pranic played as the two wing-backs. Bad Stuber and Tymoshchuk partnered in central defence. In midfield, Gustavo and Schweinsteiger partnered in midfield, with Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben as wing-backs and Muller up front. Up front, Gomez is the one who comes forward.

Arsenal naturally adapt to all changes, as long as there are no major injuries, Arsenal believe that their starting line-up can still tear apart the opponent's defence, because they are really strong.

goalkeeper Szczesny; In the back line, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny and Klich lined up; The midfield is naturally a combination of Alexander Song, Cesc Fabregas, Nasri and Theo Walcott; Xiao Qing and Robin van Persie form the strongest striker.

"How? Not excited to see me win the Champions League? "The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium is hot. Last season, only a very small number of fans went to the Bernabeu Stadium to watch the Champions League final between Arsenal and Bayern, but this time the two teams met again at the Emirates Stadium, so at this time, the enthusiasm of Arsenal fans completely exploded; Bayern are really good, they carry the most beautiful memories of Arsenal.

'I also have a chance to win the Champions League, as long as I get rid of Arsenal, I am one step closer to winning the Champions League. Gustavo glanced at Xiao Qing, both of them were from Hoffenheim, and they created a miracle together to win the championship; But it's a pity that Hoffenheim is now back to the ordinary. And Gustavo also came to Bayern after playing a high price.

"You're still so humorous." Xiao Qing smiled, his relationship with Gustavo was still good. Although there is really little contact after coming to Arsenal, it is very good to be able to meet on the pitch; Now Xiao Qing has achieved a lot, and he can really get together to play with those teammates who played together at the beginning.

'It's not humor, we're really sure we'll win.' Gustavo is now a Bayern player, although he and Xiao Qing have a good personal relationship, but now the two are their own masters, and they are full of expectations for the game; So they all know that they will work hard to help the team win the game, and they all want to achieve more.

A simple little joke, but it will not affect Xiao Qing's attention to this game; After the game, Xiao Qing and Gustavo can go for a drink and they can have a good chat. It's just that once you step on the football field, then the two are enemies; Although it is not a direct match, once the opportunity arises, Xiao Qing will still crush Gustavo unceremoniously to score a goal. Xiao Qing believes that Gustavo will do the same, once Bayern feels the threat of Xiao Qing in the game, he will definitely tackle Xiao Qing mercilessly.

Now the two are in charge, and they both want to win the game; So before the game, they would simply say hello, but as soon as the game started, the two of them would fight wildly in the game, because they were both eager to win, and they were both looking forward to the honor.

The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium was hot, and the Arsenal fans erupted in wild cheers as the players from both teams walked out of the tunnel; Although no team can successfully defend the Champions League after the restructuring, this is also a big shadow in the hearts of Arsenal fans. But the current Arsenal fans are still very confident, because Arsenal broke history with Bayern Munich and won the first Champions League title in the team's history; Now, Arsenal fans naturally want the team to go further, and they all expect Arsenal to break history and win the championship again.

The players of both teams are no strangers, and even the tactical styles of the two teams are not much different in a sense; So after the pre-match handshake ceremony, the players from both teams quickly made adjustments. This is an important game for either side of the two teams, who will have to make sure they have the advantage in the first leg if they are to be able to prepare for the second leg to go all out for the Champions League semi-finals.

Xiao Qing knows that Bayern is strong, and he knows that Bayern is capable of bringing great difficulties to Arsenal, but Xiao Qing really doesn't think Bayern can take away the victory at Arsenal's home stadium. Arsenal don't just need to win this game, they need to take the initiative in the game and they can't afford Bayern to score more away goals here.

Arsenal have a lot of tasks in this game, and their pressure is indeed relatively high; Bayern are still very capable in attack, but these are not problems, because Arsenal are confident of beating Bayern, and Arsenal are confident of completely suppressing Bayern with more ferocious attacks in the game.

Arsenal were determined to win this home game, and when the whistle blew, Arsenal took the lead in the cheers of the fans, and they used fierce attacks and fierce defense to tell Bayern: This is Arsenal's turf!

Just one minute into the opening game, Xiao Qing received a long pass from Cesc Fabregas and completed a shot in the penalty area, but unfortunately the ball hit high. Three minutes later, Arsenal defender Alexander Song raised his leg too high to kick Lahm, who wanted to insert it, but the referee did not show him a card.

Arsenal's attack and defense made the atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium completely exploded, Arsenal showed strong aggression at the beginning of the game, and their enthusiasm for this game also surprised all Gunners fans. Arsenal are no joke, they have an already excellent attack, but they are now extremely dangerous defensively. Arsenal were completely on the same page as they were to finish Bayern Munich at home, and Arsenal didn't have any conservatism at the start of the game because they needed a win, an exciting one.

Arsenal were more proactive in the game, and they used more ferocious attacks to sprint for Bayern's goal at this time; Bayern were clearly stunned by the attacking play that Arsenal showed at the beginning of the game, and Arsenal's aggressiveness was unabashed; This also made the Bayern players who thought they knew something about Arsenal feel quite stunned, they underestimated Arsenal's ability, and they overestimated their own team's defensive ability.

Bayern's defense is really not outstanding, so now Xiao Qing is leading Arsenal's attackers are constantly creating more opportunities to attack Bayern's goal, Arsenal's performance is really good, and they are now completely suppressing Bayern. Originally, many people thought that this was an offensive battle between two teams with strong attacks and weak defenses, but now it seems that this is not the case at all, because under Arsenal's attack, Bayern lost the rhythm of the game at the beginning of the game, and they completely fell into passivity.

In the 10th minute of the game, Cesc Fabregas received a pass and shot a cold arrow in front of the penalty area, but his long-range shot was high; Three minutes later, Bayern goalkeeper Kraft came out to hold up Klich's cross with one palm, which made Xiao Qing, who was in front of the goal, lose the opportunity to fight for the top, and Kraft also helped Bayern resolve a dangerous situation.

Xiao Qing felt a lot of defensive pressure, and Bayern's players were still very jealous of Xiao Qing; Especially now Arsenal is completely in control of the game, they will not give Bayern a chance to counterattack at all, and it is difficult for Bayern to take more possession from Arsenal's feet. Arsenal controlled the tempo of the game, and Bayern were stopped by Arsenal's dismount, so they fell into passivity from the very beginning of the game; They were too cautious and careful, so they took the initiative to hand over possession of the game.

But when Bayern handed over possession, it also brought the team into a crisis; With more possession, Arsenal could have attacked more in the game; Bayern, even if they want to make amends, have no chance, because Arsenal simply can't choose to back down when they take the initiative.
