Chapter 476: Coming to the Theater of Dreams Again

"CCTV, CCTV. Good evening to all viewers, you are now watching the first leg of the quarter-finals of the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League brought to you by CCTV Sports Channel."

"Welcome to the Theatre of Dreams - Old Trafford!! Here is the live broadcast of the Champions League quarterfinals this season brought to you by Sina Sports, I am commentator Zhan Jun"

It's a battle of focus, no matter how down-and-out one of United and Arsenal is, but of course when these two pairs stand together, it's always going to be a battle of focus. The grievances and hatreds between them are as exciting as a football novel, and this game is still a meeting between the two teams in the Champions League.

For this game, China's media still invested a lot of money, not only CCTV, but even Sina Sports, which broadcast live online, sent Zhan Jun to the scene to explain the game.

'Manchester United's season has been one of the worst in recent years, with the last time they were so sluggish was back in the distant days when Sir Alex Ferguson first took over. Therefore, the Red Devils, who have lost in the league, currently have only one way, and that is to seek a breakthrough in the Champions League. Otherwise, Moyes will be sacked, even though he still has several years left on his contract, even though he is the manager handpicked by Alex Ferguson! ”

"For Arsenal, the league title race is at stake. Arsenal, who are not thick enough on the bench, are currently fighting on the third line, and if they want to gain something this season, they must give up, otherwise they are likely to be empty by then! ”

Before the game, the media was optimistic about this key battle, but considering that Arsenal was fighting on three fronts, and Manchester United's only goal now was the Champions League that could wash away their shame, so relatively speaking, everyone was still more optimistic about Manchester United, after all, they were also at home.

At the legendary Old Trafford, this has never been a lucky place for Arsenal.

"Glory to Manchester United,

Glory to Manchester United,

The Red Legion marched forward.

Like those "Busby's kids" in the past,

We're going to let the Red Devil's banner fly high,

You will see it everywhere,

You'll hear people singing proudly:

Manchester United! Manchester United!

We're red teenagers and we're on our way to Wembley!

Wembley! Wembley!

We are great Manchester United and we are on our way to Wembley!

The 77-year-old Dochetti said,

At the age of 83, Atkinson also firmly believes that

All mankind knows who we are,

All will sing a song "The Queen's Blood",

Manchester United! Manchester United!

We're red teenagers and we're on our way to Wembley!

Wembley! Wembley!

We are great Manchester United and we are on our way to Wembley!

Glory to Manchester United,

Glory to Manchester United,

Glory to Manchester United,

The Red Legion marches forward!

Manchester United fans at home sang their own team anthem, the famous "Glory to Manchester United"!

Not to be outdone, Arsenal supporters are also not to be outdone, and they sing their own team anthem. Although they are weak in terms of numbers, they are also very familiar with the fans of Arsenal in this stadium.

The people who know you best are your enemies! This sentence is the most difficult to describe both sides.

The Arsenal fans, who didn't put the other party in the eyes of numerical superiority, shouted sarcastically at the Manchester United fans: "Seventh in the league is your so-called glory? Who are you? ”

Manchester United's lyrics include the line, "The whole world knows who we are!" Arsenal fans sarcastically asked, "Who are you?" ”

The unfriendly atmosphere between the two sides was already expressed before the game even began.

A man once asked a friend of his who studied in the UK: "I heard that people in the UK are very friendly and gentlemen?" His friend replied, "Yes, very gentlemanly." As long as you stay away from them while they're drinking and watching the game! He asked: "I heard that there are a lot of hooligans in British football, but they rarely see them in the news now?" His friend replied: "You run to the home stadium of Manchester United and shout at Arsenal and they will appear in front of you in three seconds!" ”

These two questions and answers have roughly summarized the relationship between English football, Manchester United and Arsenal!

When the Champions League theme song resounded over Old Trafford, the fans in the stadium and in front of the TV were extremely excited and expectant.

The most anticipated thing is actually the Chinese fans, who waited for two league games and didn't see Li Zihan play, and they were all suffocated. Now they can finally see the compatriots between them - they have seen Li Zihan's name from the starting list of both sides published by the media.

And it's a high-end game like the Champions League, and it's a fantasy stadium like Old Trafford!

The referee of this game, UEFA, is also very humane, and chose the world-class whistle of the Premier League - bald Webb!

Of course, this has also caused dissatisfaction from the outside world, because in the Champions League of the general domestic team, the referee who belongs to the same nationality of the team cannot enforce the law. However, considering that this game is two Premier League teams, there is no suspicion of sending Webber to help his own national team. -- Anyway, both teams are from England, and even if you referee who you prefer, that's an internal matter for your FA.

The reason given by UEFA is that Webber is familiar with the rhythm of the Premier League, and both teams are very familiar with Webber. In this way, the communication barrier between the team and the referee can be greatly reduced, and the subconscious meaning is - you are all a family anyway, what do you love!!

Of course, the most dissatisfied are the Arsenal fans, because they feel that Manchester United have an advantage over Arsenal in the FA, and many times it can be seen from the schedule. The FA and the refereeing committee often pit Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, but rarely Manchester United and Liverpool

So Arsenal is worried that the FA is biased towards Manchester United, and the guide is Webb blowing the home whistle

Everyone knows the average home whistle, but the Gunners are afraid that it is not an ordinary home whistle

Well, with the referee Webber's whistle, the game officially began, and Manchester United at home wore their traditional red jerseys and attacked from the left side of the screen. Playing away, Arsenal wore their first away kit and attacked from the right side of the screen to the left"

"The netizen named 'Bei Ai Eats Steamed Buns' sent a message: Manchester United vs. Arsenal, and the referee of the bald Webber, at first glance I thought it was a Premier League game" Zhan Jun smiled: "That's right, if you don't pay attention, you can really see it as a Premier League game, both teams are familiar faces and Premier League fans are more familiar with Weber." ”

After casually browsing the Internet messages, Zhan Jun said with a smile: "Don't ask why I can use the Internet to communicate with you at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, I will tell you that there is free WIFI in the media seats of the stadium?" ”

Zhan Jun can also make a little joke with netizens without discipline, but Li Zihan on the court has no time to joke with each other.

As soon as the two sides came up, they directly "fisted and kicked each other", without saying a word, and went straight to work!

Since the two sides are already familiar and can no longer be familiar, the two teams have no intention of tempting, and they began to fight bayonets as soon as they came up. They are very active in the midfield and very fast! ”

Less than ten seconds into the game, Arsenal had a shot on goal.

Li Zihan made the ball to Ozil behind him in the center circle, Ozil and Wilshere and Ramsey cooperated to "transport" the ball towards the opponent's backfield, and finally Ozil dodged Cleverley's pressing, and then directly sent a long pass over the top to find Li Zihan in front of him.

Li Zihan leaned his back against Manchester United's on-field captain, veteran Nemanja Vidic, and then got rid of it beautifully. didn't give Smalling a chance to come over to make up for the defense, and dodged a little gap at the edge of the penalty area and hit the goal directly.

De Gea was so shocked that his new haircut almost stood on end. He didn't expect Li Zihan to choose to shoot in such a situation, so he could only jump with all his might.

Fortunately, in the end, it just scared him, not stabbed him! The ball flew slightly over the crossbar and straight off the baseline.

The Manchester United fans at home were also relieved, they thought the goal was going to be scored, and if they were scored by a rival at home in the first few seconds, what a fucking thing it would be, okay

Don't blame Manchester United fans for being too weak, it's really Li Zihan who is too changeable. Look at his current goal count, whoever faces him is empty!

"Li Zihan is in very good condition, this sudden shot is very sudden, and the quality is also high, so high that it is only a little higher than the crossbar, and it can almost be hit on the crossbar and bounce in," said a commentator who has no level.

"Lee had a demonstrative shot and he showed that it was Arsenal who were standing opposite the United players, while also making the home fans in the stands a little more restrained"

"It looks like Li Zihan is in good shape, I have a hunch that he will definitely score today, it's just a matter of time"

Li Zihan, who finished shooting, glanced at the Manchester United goal, and then turned around with some regret.

He's not going to be fed up and go to the demonstration to shoot. In his opinion, it was just a waste of possession, he just shot and wanted to score.

As he turned to find space next to Vidic, a voice kept coming out of his head, "Shoot!" So he followed his feelings and shot

Many superstars are like this, when others don't think of it, they suddenly come here, if they enter, it is the personal ability of the superstar, the flash of the superstar, if he doesn't enter, Li Zihan dares to bet with Balotelli, the media will definitely say that he is thinking about life!
