Before Qin Xiong returned to London, he already knew the result of his punishment.

Due to the fiery conflict with Manchester United captain Keane, Qin Xiong and Keane were both sent off with red cards, and the FA's final punishment result was that Qin Xiong and Keane were suspended for three games at the same time!

Wenger considered that Qin Xiong has been suspended for one game, and he will participate in the FIFA match day in midweek, and he needs more time to rest when he returns to London, so it is normal to let Qin Xiong rest in the 27th round of the Premier League, which is counted as his suspension, plus the FA Cup game on the 19th of this month, Qin Xiong's 3 suspensions, only two of them are in the league, and 1 game has been "served in prison", Wenger finally decided not to appeal.

Manchester United is very unconvinced, Ferguson is very dissatisfied with the FA's decision, because in the 27th round, Manchester United is going to play the Manchester derby, and the lack of Keane will have a very direct impact on morale, and Manchester United's back line has become very fragile when Keane is old, and he has not been able to find a suitable successor.

Chelsea's momentum this season has stunned European football, but England has not been able to replace Manchester United, with the reality that Chelsea have not really achieved anything substantial, and United's collection of honours is full of colour.

Therefore, the match between Arsenal and Manchester United is the biggest morale boost for the team.

Arsenal were unfortunately held to a draw at home by Manchester United, but the next round narrowed the gap with Chelsea, which gave the whole team a good morale boost.

In the 27th round of the Premier League, Chelsea started the game first, and Jose Mourinho led the Blues to a 1-0 away win over Everton, earning a comfortable victory.

Arsenal sit in Highbury to welcome Crystal Palace in the relegation zone. Qin Xiong sat in the VIP seat wearing a slim coat. He witnessed the team's 5-1 thrashing of Crystal Palace. Continue to put pressure on Chelsea from two points down

There is no game in midweek, Qin Xiong and the team participate in the preparation, the team's recent preparation is divided into two parts, one is that the substitutes will actively prepare for the FA Cup at the weekend, and the other part is that the main players are mentally prepared, and they will face Bayern Munich in Munich in the 1/8 final of the Champions League knockout round in the middle of next week.

At the weekend's FA Cup, Arsenal's substitutes and youth teams staged a game that made fans haunt at Highbury. When Sheffield United came together to defend against Arsenal, Arsenal's players were significantly inferior to their main squad in terms of experience and ability to attack.

The final score was 1:1.

Arsenal need another replay.

Wenger doesn't care too much, anyway, according to Arsenal's next Champions League and league titles, the FA Cup must be a training, even if there are more reserve or youth team players, he doesn't care, and it is good for the growth of players to play one more game

On February 21, Arsenal landed in Munich.

Qin Xiong has been adjusting for more than a week, although it is impossible to recover to his best physical condition. After all, in addition to the impact of the Premier League's lack of winter break, it also includes the fact that he did not get a reasonable rest last summer and has to do with his physical reserves. However, he has made reasonable adjustments in a short period of time and is able to cope with the intensive schedule in the coming stage.

He was in the same room as Cesc Fabregas, and when he first came to Munich, he stood at the window overlooking the night view, which was his habit, and it was his habit to go to a new place to enjoy the fresh scenery.

Cesc Fabregas came to his side, looked out the window and asked, "Have you ever been to Germany?" ”

Qin Xiong couldn't help but smile and nodded.

Last season's Champions League final was played in Germany, but not in Munich.

Cesc Fabregas seemed to think of the Champions League final and asked with interest: "How did you feel when you won the Champions League?" ”

Qin Xiong's eyes rolled and he smiled: "I am the king of the world!" ”

Fabregas laughed, then opened his arms and yelled out the window, turned to Qin Xiong and said, "Is it like this?" The qiē I see is very small, and I have my feet on the world! ”

Qin Xiong laughed, finally nodded, and said: "It's like an addiction that makes people want to stop, with the first time, you want to experience the second time, the third time, and keep repeating the experience!" ”

Cesc Fabregas put his arm around his shoulders and looked at the night scene outside the window, put away his smile and said solemnly: "Then we will experience it once this season!" ”

His words were loud, and Qin Xiong replied with a sonorous and powerful word.

"Good!"

February 23, Olympic Stadium in Munich.

This is where Arsenal and Bayern Munich play the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.

Qin Xiong didn't look at Bayern Munich's players when he stood in the players' tunnel, his combat posture was very obvious, full of fighting spirit.

The same goes for Arsenal's players.

As the referee team walked into the stadium, Arsenal and Bayern Munich had a pre-kickoff ceremony.

"The exciting knockout rounds of the Champions League are in full swing today!

Arsenal, who finished in the round of 16 last season, have topped the group unbeaten record this season, but their draw was a bit less lucky, they were drawn with German champions Bayern Munich, Arsenal's momentum in the Premier League is terrifying, but they do not seem to have a good result in European competition, and it is unclear if they will repeat the same mistakes this season.

Bayern Munich have undergone a change of manager this season, with Magath's Bayern Munich playing well in the domestic league and cup competitions, but it was a humiliating result to be beaten by Juventus in the Champions League group stage, and it is unknown what kind of strength they will show in the Champions League after the winter break and the adjustment in February.

Now let's take a look at the starting lists of both sides.

Forward: Mackay.

Arsenal started 451.

Goalkeeper: Lehmann.

Defenders: Lauren, Toure, Campbell, Ashley Cole.

Midfielders: Ljungberg, Vieira, Qin Xiong, Silva, Pire.

Striker: Thierry Henry.

The game is about to begin, and it will be interesting to see what kind of performance the two teams will play in this game. ”

Silva is back from injury, Toure is back from Africa Cup of Nations, and Arsenal start the Champions League with a more complete squad than they had been in the previous period, which is the biggest positive news.

As the referee's whistle blew, Bayern Munich kicked off first.

Mackay returned the ball and Ballack combined with his team-mates before rushing past Henry and stepping into the frontcourt.

As Ballack dribbled forward, he and Qin Xiong got closer and closer.

Qin Xiong moved, he saw the rhythm of Ballack's dribbling and stepped forward to grab, not to get his feet, and to harass closely!

The German superstar has a physical confrontation with the hottest talent rising star in Europe today, and although Qin Xiong is at a disadvantage in the strength confrontation, he has won Vieira a better steal environment!

The first leg of the Champions League 1/8 final between Bayern Munich and Arsenal has officially begun!

Mars hits Earth! (To be continued......)
