Chapter [419]: Henry and the regret of the Gunners fans
"Next, let me introduce you to the starting list of the home team Barcelona today, I think everyone will be very interested in knowing the starting list of Barcelona today." Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor blinked and sold off.
When the fans in front of the TV heard Martin Taylor's words, they immediately burst into applause: "Hahaha, damn boy! ”
"Okay, now I'm going to give you a brief overview of the starting list for Barcelona today, today they sent a four-three-three formation, and the goalkeeper is Valdés." Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor was immediate.
"In the back four, Dani Alves, Pique, yes, Brad Pique! Haha, just kidding, it's Gerard Pique. There are also Mascherano and Puyol. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said immediately.
'It's a bit strange to start because Mascherano is in the backline, and at centre-back, while Puyol is at wing-back, so it's a big change. Could it be that Mascherano is going to follow Dongfang Chen today? Isn't this a bit hasty, can Mascherano keep up with Dongfang Chen? Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said immediately.
Now the fans in front of the TV are also a little shocked, they didn't expect Barcelona to make such a change, they are a little puzzled, why did Guardiola do this?
Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger is also frowning, as if pondering this question?
"In the three midfielders, Xavi, Buzkets and Iniesta, this is a fixed combination, this combination is indeed a little weak in defense, even if Butskec has always been based on defense, but he still has more of a performance in his body, maybe Guardiola thinks he is not safe, so today, he sent Mascherano to help him and help defend Dongfangchen." Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.
'The three up front are Alexis Sanchez, Lionel Messi and Cesc Fabregas. Yes, Cesc Fabregas appeared in the starting line-up today, which is also the first time he has faced his old club Arsenal since he left the Arsenal team, I wonder how he feels at this time? I don't know what kind of expression he will have today? Sky Sports guest commentator Martin Taylor said.
Cesc Fabregas did not fly Barcelona to London in the first leg and he missed the chance to return to the Emirates Stadium in London. But today he started and is going to play against Arsenal. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said immediately.
At this time, the mood of Arsenal fans is very complicated, their former prince has now become a general of another country. Now the general is leading their ranks into attack on what was once his own.
Arsenal fans are very upset, but that's the reality, there's no way.
"We can also see that Barcelona does have three strikers on paper, but everyone understands that Barcelona's formation is actually a strikerless formation." Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.
"Okay, that's the starting list for today's home team Barcelona, and then I'll introduce you to the starting list of the away team Arsenal today." Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said immediately.
"Today Arsenal were in a four-four-two formation, and in the goalkeeper's position it was Handanovic, who was very good at his appearance, and he pressed Szczesny on the bench. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said immediately.
'In the back four it's Sagna, Vermaelen, Koscielny and Santos, wow, it's a big change in the back line, the first time the two sides met, there was only one and that was Koscielny, and the other three were replaced. Arsène Wenger's change is huge. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
The Arsenal fans at the scene and in front of the TV were shocked, and they did not expect Arsène Wenger to make such a big change.
With three substitutions at the back, Arsène Wenger seems to be unhappy with the performance of his defenders in the last game.
In fact, this is not the case, Eboue is suspended for accumulating yellow cards, and he will not be able to play this game. Mertesacker, on the other hand, suffered a minor injury and missed the game. Only Gibbs was replaced because of his poor watch.
In the midfield four are Wilshere, Alexander Song, Mikel Arteta and Gervinho. This line has also changed a lot, Wilshere appeared in the starting list today, he hasn't appeared in everyone's eyes for a long time. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said immediately.
"And today Alexander Song and Arteta partnered together, and it was also very different from the last game, the two partners in the last game were Vidal and JD Jingan, the two actually looked good, but unfortunately they did not appear in the starting list today." Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray was a little sad.
"And Comrade Gervinho hasn't been in everyone's sight for a long time, and today he also got the opportunity to start, and the Arsenal team has really changed too much." Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
"And today's Arsenal team's forward combination is Dongfang Chen and Walcott, yes, Walcott appeared in the striker, which is expected by everyone. After all, Robin van Persie was out injured for the season, and Thierry Henry was on the bench today. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
"Actually, if Henry is in this game, it will be something to look forward to for everyone, after all, Henry has been in Arsenal and Barcelona. Moreover, Henry's soul belongs to Arsenal, but Henry's most brilliant career for the club was in Barcelona, where he won the Champions League. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
"It may be a great irony, but that's the reality. This may also be the eternal pain in Thierry Henry's heart, as he has not been able to win a Champions League with his favourite Arsenal team. It's not the most painful, the most painful thing is that he's reached this height in another team. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said immediately.
The eyes of the Arsenal fans at the scene and in front of the TV were suddenly misty, a layer of mist appeared in front of their eyes, and their hearts were also very uncomfortable. Isn't this a pain in their hearts?
'Okay, there's a good chance that Thierry Henry will be in the game today, he's very likely to come off the bench. Thierry Henry also has a chance to make up for the biggest disappointment of his Arsenal career this season, as they have a chance to win the Champions League. If Arsenal do win the UEFA Champions League this season, it will be a miracle for Thierry Henry, for Arsenal fans! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
'Okay, the players from both sides have come out of the dressing room and they have walked into the Camp Nou. The race is about to begin. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
At this time, Dongfang Chen wore the captain's armband of the Arsenal team, walked at the front of the team, and walked into the Camp Nou with his teammates.
In an instant, the passionate shouts of Barcelona fans at Camp Nou were heard, and the sound was so loud that Dongfang Chen couldn't hear the voices of the Arsenal fans.
"The players on both sides are now going through some complicated pre-match rituals. Players from both sides stood in a row. Sky Sports guest commentator Martin Taylor said.
"Martin, who do you think will win this game?" That's when Andy Gray asked Martin Taylor a question.
Hearing the question, Martin Taylor thought for a moment and then said: "Although I was hoping that Arsenal would win today, it was difficult, almost impossible. I'm still bullish on the home team, Barcelona. ”
Andy Gray immediately exclaimed, "I really didn't expect you to be an undercover agent." If you dare to support Barcelona, you just wait to be shot by the English fans. ”
Martin Taylor immediately said, "Huh! I'm just telling the truth, Barcelona do have a big advantage right now, and it's still playing this game at Barcelona's home stadium, so it's really difficult for Arsenal. ”
Andy Gray immediately said, "Hehe, I don't think so. Arsenal have now been pushed to the edge of a cliff, and at this time, Arsenal must be going crazy. The strength of Dongfang Chen and Arsenal will be improved to the strongest, and I think they still have a good chance. ”
Andy Gray added: "And now it's only 1-1 that Arsenal can progress to the last four with a one-goal win away from Barcelona. So, I still think they're going to have a chance, and there's a big chance. ”
At this time, Dongfang Chen and Puyol in the stadium have completed the draw ceremony.
Dongfang Chen's luck is still good today, he got the ball, and Barcelona got the right to pick the edge.
At this time, Dongfang Chen was already standing in the middle circle, stepping on the football with one foot, waiting for the referee's whistle.
At this time, the fans on both sides couldn't wait, and many people in the stands pretended to be the referee and blew the whistle directly to signal the start of the game.
At this time, Walcott, who was nervous, even directly reached out and pushed Dongfang Chen, signaling Dongfang Chen to kick off. Because he had already heard the whistle of the start of the game ringing in his ears, he motioned for Dongfang Chen to hurry up and kick off.
Dongfang Chen immediately smiled and said to Walcott: "Don't be nervous, this is a wild whistle." You see, the referee didn't make any moves. ”
Hearing Dongfang Chen's words, Walcott turned his head to look at the referee, at this time, the referee was checking the time with the fourth official on the sidelines. Walket immediately took a deep breath and apologized to Dongfang Chen, he seemed to be really too nervous.
And at this time, the referee blew the whistle in his mouth, and this game was the beginning.
Dongfang Chen immediately put the football a little, and then rushed into the Barcelona team's penalty area at high speed. Today, the Arsenal team is here to attack, and as soon as the game starts, the Arsenal team will start a crazy attacking mode.
