Chapter 339: The Devil's Home and Away Demons

In the face of Bayern's weakness, although it will take two months for Europe to rekindle the war, Arsenal still responded resolutely.

The official website put a few pictures with the sentence: "We are the only team that did not lose to Champions League champions Bayern Munich last season!" We are looking forward to new challenges! ”

The picture begins with last season's quarter-finals, Bayern Munich defeated Juventus 2-0 in the first and second legs, with an aggregate score of 4-0; Then in the semifinals, Bayern Munich defeated Barcelona 4-0 and 3-0 in the first and second legs, and the aggregate score was 7-0, which was praised as shameful by Barcelona; In the final, Bayern Munich beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1.

The most picturesque are the Champions League quarterfinals between Bayern Munich and Arsenal last season, Arsenal lost 1-3 to Bayern Munich in the first leg, and Arsenal defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 in the second leg, with an aggregate score of 3-3.

Of course, such behavior has attracted ridicule and ridicule from many fans

But there are also some fans who think about it carefully, and it's really like this. First of all, the two home and away games of Arsenal against Bayern are one loss and one win, and they can't be regarded as losses combined, right? And the total score is even more than three to three, but Bayern's away goal is one more than Arsenal's, which can only be regarded as just squeezing Arsenal down.

But what about Barcelona, who are also members of the Cosmos team? That's a humiliating loss of 3-0 and a 4-0 total, 7-0.

In recent days, the media has focused on the draw for the Champions League and some summaries of the group stage. When they came to their senses, they realized that there was still a major event in the league.

In the 16th round of the league, Arsenal will face Manchester City away, and there is no doubt that this is the highlight of this round and the biggest attraction.

This season's Manchester City home results are a mess, with a 4-0 win over the Magpies Newcastle, a 2-0 win over Hull City, a 4-1 win over the city's derby rival Manchester United, a 3-1 win over the Toffees Everton, a 7-0 slaughter of Norwich, a 6-0 bloodbath against Tottenham Hotspur, and a 3-0 win over Swansea

These super-large scores all mean that Manchester City's home stadium is not so easy to mess with, and it has been hailed as the scariest home stadium in Europe this season. In the seven home games played so far this season, Manchester City have scored a frantic 29 goals.

With an average of 4.14 goals per home game, it is nicknamed the "minimum consumption" of Manchester City's home stadium by fans! ”

Compared with the Spanish Liga with the most aggressive offensive firepower, Manchester City has an absolute advantage in attacking power at their home stadium. The home of the strongest firepower in La Liga this season is not the legendary Bernabeu or the temple-like Camp Nou, but the first team in "La Liga" that used to be outside the "Western Super League" - Atletico Madrid!

Atletico have scored 27 goals in their seven home games, averaging 3.86 goals per game, which is terrifying but not as good as Manchester City. Barcelona have scored 25 goals in their current seven home games, averaging 3.57 goals per game, while Real Madrid have scored 27 goals in eight home games, averaging 3.37 goals per game.

From these data, you can see how crazy Manchester City's home stadium is this season, even in La Liga, which plays unrestrainedly, the three giants have scored fewer goals per game than them, not to mention that Manchester City is in the Premier League, which is tightly defended and relatively not as big as La Liga.

Therefore, whether Arsenal can retreat from the Etihad in this round has become the focus of attention of the media and fans.

Manchester City's home stadium is terrifying, but Arsenal's away record is no slouch.

At the moment, Arsenal are far ahead of the table, sitting on the best away fighting power in the Premier League. Arsenal have won 16 of the seven away games in the league so far this season, dropping just five. This is the best away result in the Premier League so far. And Arsenal also got a nickname - "away madness!" ”

When the craziest home game in the league encounters the best away game in the league, what kind of battle will it be?

At the very least, fans firmly believe that this will be a contest like Mars hitting Earth, and it will also be the most frequent matchup.

If Arsenal can get out of this game, they can continue to maintain their absolute dominance of the top of the table, and if they sink here, they will face the "aggressiveness" of Manchester City and Chelsea.

Speaking to the media at his press conference, Arsene Wenger said: "Yes, I know how horrible Manchester City's home stadium is and how much we spend the sledgies, but we are still confident that we will be able to get out of it at the Etihad. We've already lost once in Manchester this season, so we don't want to lose twice in a row in the city of Manchester. And in the Champions League draw, we had a strong opponent, very strong, and Manchester City didn't want to admit it, but I still have to say that they are also quite strong. So it was good for us to be able to play a game against a team that had been close to the Cosmos until we met the Cosmos in February, at least we could find some workable ways through this match. ”

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini was not happy when he heard this. Hey, this old man is planning to train us? Well, we'll see who practices whom.

"We and Bayern are completely different teams, we have different styles and tactical philosophies. So if someone wants to get something out of us, he's wrong. We have a home advantage and we are aiming for the three points, so we will definitely give it our all in this game because everyone wants to sit in the top of the league. ”

Arsenal and Manchester City, Arsene Wenger and Pellegrini, the two sides are tense, and the game has not yet started, and the two veteran coaches with excellent skills have already begun to fight.

On the other hand, Mourinho is not willing to be lonely, this round of Chelsea is facing the promotion of Ma Jing, the coach with no pressure personality completely stands and speaks without backache to help the two sides pour oil on the volcano: "This will be a clash between league champions, and it will be destined to be hot." And whoever profits from it will have a head start on the chance to compete for the title. ”

After hearing this, Wenger scoffed: "He doesn't want a championship? Come on, some people like us to fight to the death together, two tigers fighting, but he stands aside to make a profit. ”

Manuel Pellegrini agreed: "Yes, the Premier League is a bit complicated this season, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool are all likely to win the title, and if anyone says he is not aiming for the title, then he must be lying. We? Of course, our goal is to win the championship, there is nothing to hide, and although I know that the road ahead is very challenging, our goal has never changed – the championship! That's what I'm here for, otherwise why would Manchester City invite me to come? ”

As we all know, it was because he did not win even one championship that Manchester City's impatient oil tycoon "broke up" with the former head coach Italian Mancini, and the arrival of Pellegrini made the goal even clearer - the championship!

The magic bird was a little depressed, okay, I was originally here to "wave the flag" for the two of you, but I didn't expect you all to turn the gun around and aim at me together, it's really not enough "buddy".

Of course, he apparently forgot that he didn't have any good intentions.

"It's like a race between two strong, tall horses, our goal is not to win the championship, we can't outrun the two horses in front of us this season, and as I said a long time ago, our goal this season is not to win the championship, but to build up the lineup." Mourinho said calmly to the camera.

It was Manuel Pellegrini who was the first to come forward, speaking to the Manchester Evening News: "If this is a horse race, then Chelsea are also a good horse and their results will determine the title. ”

Mourinho immediately responded: "Chelsea are just a foal at best, they can't outrun and they don't plan to race against the two big horses in front of them, I say it again, this season we are not aiming for the league title, we are aiming for next season, next season and every season after Chelsea, except for this season." ”

Arsene Wenger was clearly unconvinced: "He's not aiming for the title? Come on, don't tease. Who wouldn't love a champion? He is a psychological tactic, who doesn't know that the old and young people in Europe love to play these little tricks, and now that the old man is retired, he is the only one who likes to play psychological warfare. ”

was eating breakfast and reading the newspaper, and Ferguson, who was in a happy mood, saw that the coaches who were still in office were also their sworn enemies and fought together. But when he saw Wenger's words, he squirted out the milk with a pop.

Damn Arcena, I'm fucking retired, what are you still bullshitting me for?

Sir Alex Ferguson, who was also shot while lying down, was very upset.

Mourinho was also very upset, he said mockingly: "Yes, psychological warfare, psychological warfare. Every word I say is psychological warfare, every action is, so you must not be fooled, it is also psychological warfare now, at this moment"

Well, there are still two days left for this game to start, and the three managers on both sides are arguing, but Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers did not say anything.

The managers were not at peace, and the happiest were the journalists. The group of death, then the Champions League draw, and finally the league double-final battle here, there are endless topics to write about, endless interviews with coaches and players

How happy this kind of life is, I don't have to write a script for the delivery of the script, and the reporters have praised it.
