Chapter 722 - Ready

Xiao Qing felt like he was still dreaming, lifting the league championship trophy at the Britannia Stadium Arsenal, and they completed such a brilliant achievement as three consecutive championships. Although only a handful of fans were cheering them on this away game, although the award ceremony also looked rather shabby; But the honour of three consecutive titles is overwhelming, and the Arsenal players care more about the trophy they lift!

Back in London, there are crazy Arsenal fans at the exit of the plane, and there are more Arsenal fans gathered outside the Emirates Stadium, they are all extremely excited to celebrate that Arsenal has reached a new peak, and Arsenal is also using this triple title to prove to everyone that it is now the era of Arsenal.

The Ashburton area of London is caught in the carnival of Arsenal fans, and at this time, Tottenham Hotspur fans are naturally interested and will not take the initiative to accept ridicule. Although there will be a Champions League final soon, it is also at this time that Arsenal's victory parade begins; It's three league wins in a row, and it's a reason to celebrate. As for the Champions League final, Arsenal fans believe there will be an even bigger celebration!

The parade is an open bus, which belongs to the Arsenal red, which is a parade of floats belonging to the Arsenal; Although Arsenal have 16 league titles in their history, when the trophies of these three league titles appear at the top of the float, it can still cause fans to go crazy.

More than 200,000 fans poured into North London as the celebratory buses departed from the Emirates Stadium and paraded along the streets around North London. Gunners fans gathered on both sides of the street to share the joy with their beloved team. It's a day to be proud of. It is also a testament to Arsenal's new pinnacle.

Although Xiao Qing and his teammates are indeed very excited. However, Arsenal's players cannot completely relax after completing the league title; Victory parade. The players were given a celebratory reception, and even at this time the Arsenal players were given a three-day break.

But when it all comes to an end, although the atmosphere at the current Kearney training base is good, the Arsenal players also need to work hard for the new competition, and the Champions League final with Bayern Munich is coming soon, and Arsenal can't start celebrating too early at this time. Although Arsenal are confident that they will beat Bayern again, there can be no underestimation and carelessness at this time.

To be able to reach the Champions League final is a testament to the quality; Bayern have never been underdogs. Although Arsenal has the overall upper hand against Bayern in the past two seasons, it still cannot be taken lightly. Coupled with the fact that Bayern is playing the Champions League final at their home stadium this time, they must not accept being robbed of the Champions League title by Arsenal again at home!

This season's UEFA Champions League final will be played at the Allianz Arena in Munich, where Bayern Munich were runners-up in the 2010 Champions League; It was Arsenal that disappointed Bayern that season, and now Bayern have found the best chance for revenge, and against the rising Arsenal, if they can win at home to complete revenge, it will be the best script.

Because they both went through an extremely fierce semi-final to advance to the final, it is normal for both teams to have some injuries at this time; It's just that Arsenal are doing well right now and they've achieved their goal in the league. This also gives Arsenal's players more time to rest and recover, and now is a good opportunity for Arsenal. They will be able to face the next big battle in the best form.

On the Bayern side, the three big players of central defender Bad Stuber and defender Gustavo will be suspended, and their performance this season has been good, and they cannot play in the final, which will definitely have a big impact on Bayern's strength. Especially the defender Gustavo, in the face of his suspension, although Bayern can make some adjustments, but the attack is stronger, but the role of the midfield barrier seems to have weakened. Bayern are an attack-oriented team, but against Arsenal, who are more adept at attacking, their defense will also need to be cared for.

Two years ago, UEFA announced that the 2012 Champions League final would be played at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Now, through their unremitting efforts, Bayern Munich has finally reached this season's Champions League final and has a great chance to lift the Champions Cup on their home turf. Historically, only three teams have had the opportunity to play in the Champions League final at their club's home stadium, and two of them have won: Real Madrid won the trophy at the Bernabeu in 1957, Inter Milan won the trophy at the Meazza in 1965, and only Roma lost to Liverpool on penalties at their home stadium, the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, in 1984.

Playing the Champions League final at home, the advantages of time and place are obvious, but at the same time, they will also be under greater psychological pressure. Bayern are of course eager to win at home at this time, and they are also hoping to stage the revenge of the prince; But facing an excellent opponent like Arsenal, it is an opponent who looks more powerful than Bayern, and Bayern really doesn't have any confidence at this time.

Both teams are excellent attacking teams, and perhaps Bayern's two wings are more dangerous than Arsenal's. Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery are the two strongest pure wingers in Europe today, and as long as the two are in form, any team will have to use a lot of energy to guard against them, so as to create a lot of space and opportunities for other Bayern players. Bayern's wing attack is not only the work of 'Robery', but also includes the insertion and assistance of fullbacks such as Lahm and Raphinha, which is quite rich.

Arsenal's defensive ability is actually really average, although Arsenal can constantly contain the opponent on the offensive end, although Arsenal can play well with offense instead of defense; But the threat of Bayern is really big now, and their form can be said to be quite good. After defeating Real Madrid in the semi-finals, Bayern can also be said to have reached the peak of morale, and they also have too many expectations for the upcoming Champions League final, they hope to be able to raise their eyebrows at home, and they hope to win the Champions League final trophy in the cheers of the home fans!

Bayern are the first team to play at home in the final after the Champions League restructuring, which must be a great incentive for them; In the previously concluded German Cup final, Bayern lost to Dortmund again and was runner-up, and the league championship also failed for two consecutive seasons, which was also a great stimulus for Bayern.

But as a giant in the Bundesliga, Bayern has not been able to lift the championship trophy in the Bundesliga for the past two years, which is obviously an unqualified result. This season's Bayern, who was left behind by Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, was eight points behind and ranked second, missing the Bundesliga championship for two consecutive years; Not only that, in the German Cup final, Bayern lost 2-5 to Dortmund and won two embarrassing runner-up titles. If the Champions League final loses again, Bayern will become the "king of Sanya". Ten years ago, Bayer Leverkusen won the Bundesliga runner-up, the Champions League runner-up, and the German Cup runner-up in one fell swoop, becoming the founder of the tragedy.

Of course, Bayern doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, so Bayern only has one way left, and that is to win the championship! This has been witnessed countless times about the bitter crying of the losing side. Bayern played on their home turf in this final, and tens of thousands of fans cheered on, Bayern fans just wanted to party, not to turn the Allianz Arena into a sea of tears.

Bayern really have too many reasons to win, and they will never be willing to lose in the game; But it would be nice for them to have the confidence to win the game, but it will not be easy to be the final winner, because they need to work harder because they are against a strong Arsenal that has caused them a lot of trouble.

Xiao Qing and his teammates are ready at this time, Xiao Qing can guarantee that the current Arsenal players are basically in the best physical condition since the start of the season, and enough rest time has made the Arsenal players reach new heights of physical fitness. And in these days of preparation for the game, the Arsenal players still insist on some training, which is also to ensure that the players maintain the best competitive condition.

As for psychological preparation, this is not the first time that Arsenal's players have stood on the stage of the Champions League final, Arsenal's players can be said to be very accustomed to the current big scene, they will not be nervous when they stand in such a big scene, they will not be weak at such a critical moment.

Although this is a third consecutive Champions League title related to Arsenal, it is the first team to hit the Champions League three times after the restructuring, but Arsenal's players can still maintain a good mentality at this time, and when they maintain enough confidence, they will also be more cautious about a team like Bayern.

Pre-match war of words and the like is not a meaningful thing for Arsenal now, and the Gunners really don't have too many changes in mentality because of these things at this time. What they need now is to maintain their mental balance before the game, and the Arsenal players now just need to make sure they are in the best shape to be able to secure the final victory.

Now is not the time to be nervous, and some low-key preparations before the game are more beneficial for Arsenal; The morale of Arsenal's players is not something that can be stimulated by a word or two of trash talk, and Arsenal winning the title in the past period is the best motivation, and Arsenal does not need other means to try to make the players more excited at this time.

Arsenal are ready, and I believe that Bayern's players are also ready at this time. (To be continued......)
