Chapter Seventy-Two: Declaration of War

Morata is 190 tall and his most dominant ability is his header.

In the football world, players who can use their feet belong to God to chase and feed, but compared to players with double backfeet, it is still a little worse. Because the double-reversal footballer who can play in the top league is the most rare existence.

With the ball lost at the moment, Morata was quite calm and turned to give Griezmann a thumbs up.

When he looked up, he was a little impressed by Morata's mentality.

In the case of constant doubts from the outside world, Morata can still have the mentality of concentrating on football, isn't this a kind of ability?

By the end of the first half, both sides had only contributed two shots on target. And the shot of the kick naturally can't be counted in it.

In the second half, the two teams switched sides and fought again.

So, what is the best way to describe this game?

I saw that the spectators in the stands were already drowsy.

The existence of this game completely proves that football is not only passionate and moving, but also boring and dull!

By the end of the game, the two teams had just four shots on target.

The game didn't seem to be a knockout match, more like a friendly match.

It's more friendly than a friendly.

But this is Atletico Madrid's current style of play, scoring goals depends on the individual ability of the striker, and winning the game depends on the team's defensive torture!

At the end of the game, the score was locked at 0:0!

At this time, manager Simeone looked at Arsenal's bench and saw that Equation and Lacazette were so bored that they were picking their nails!

He wondered if Wenger could keep his breath, this is Arsenal's home stadium!

Frustrated, Simeone stroked his snot and walked over to Arsene Wenger to shake hands.

However, Professor Wenger was not fooled, he turned and left.

This snot-wiping hand also wants to shake hands?

Simeone is pure disgust.

Glancing at Wenger's back, Simeone suddenly smiled, "The old boy is too stingy."

Thinking to himself, Simeone also walked towards the court passage and licked his fingers by the way, well, it seemed to feel pretty good.

Equation got up and walked over, just in time to see this picture, and was frightened all over.

And this scene was also captured by the camera at the scene, which became one of the few highlights of the game.

Many viewers in front of the screen felt a wave of nausea.

"I'll go, Simeone still wants to play yin, it's disgusting!"

"It's good that Professor Wenger is cautious enough!"

"It's worthy of you Simeone, with a unique taste!"

After the game, Arsenal's performance was naturally criticized a lot.

Originally, since the 21st century, Premier League teams have lost more than they won against La Liga in Europe.

In 9 European finals, they lost 8 times, and in the knockout stage, they also lost more than they won.

Soon, the famous mouth of the Premier League, Morgan, who prides himself on being a die-hard fan of Arsenal. So, he was angry at Arsenal's performance on social media,

And also posted the historical data of the Premier League teams against La Liga:

"And today, against Atletico Madrid, we act like a drunk with no fighting spirit! There is not the slightest desire to win,"

'It's hard to imagine us being a third-placed team in the Premier League!'

"There's no sign of beautiful football anymore."

"The Premier League has lost to La Liga eight times in European finals."

"2001, Europa League final Liverpool 5-4 Alaves

"2006, Champions League final Arsenal 1-2 Barcelona

2006, Europa League final Middlesbrough 0-4 Sevilla

"2009, Champions League final: Manchester United 0-2 Barcelona

"2010, Europa League final, Fulham 1-2 Atletico Madrid

"2011, Champions League final, Manchester United 1-3 Barcelona

"2016, Europa League final Liverpool 1-3 Sevilla

"2018, Champions League final Liverpool 1-3 Real Madrid."

"I just hope that one day, our club will be able to shake off this curse!"

Many Premier League fans saw these data, and the old wounds in their hearts were torn apart again.

In addition, Arsenal were eliminated by Atletico Madrid in the Europa League last year. It's hard for fans to imagine what the second leg could have been.

Public opinion from the outside world instantly turned against Arsenal.

In desperation, the Arsenal club could only temporarily refuse all media visits from the outside world and chose to conduct closed training.

In this regard, the players have a fire in their hearts and feel very aggrieved.

However, Professor Arsene Wenger has only asked the players not to give any interviews in the near future.

During this period, the FA Cup was drawn in the 1/4 knockout round, and Arsenal did not continue the good luck in the FA Cup this time, and they drew Manchester City.

After this signing, it can basically be announced that Arsenal can finally get rid of the burden of the FA Cup.

On 14 March, Arsenal played the 30th round of Premier League fixtures before picking up another three points from Fulham. After a two-day break, the Arsenal team finally flew to sunny Madrid.

As soon as they got off the plane, the players remembered Professor Arsene Wenger's instructions, and in the face of the reporters and media outside, everyone chose to keep their mouths shut.

And when he saw that there were some domestic reporters outside, he felt that everyone was working very hard, and he wanted to say a few words.

But thinking of the professor's instructions, the equation could only wave to the domestic reporters in a friendly manner, expressing embarrassment.

After that, train in Madrid and rest for a day. Arsenal finally ushered in the second leg of the Europa League 1/4 knockout round.

At the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.

Arsenal formed a 433 and wore a white jersey.

Atletico Madrid, the "Sheet Army", played 442 and wore a red striped jersey.

To Equation's surprise, though, he was once again on the bench. He has not been in the starting line-up three times in a row.

The equation is a little confused, and I don't know what Professor Wenger has in mind.

He had not featured in the previous game against Fulham because he had taken an early lead in the first half, so Equation felt it was acceptable to take a rest.

But now, with such an important second leg against Atletico Madrid, why is he not playing?

As a result, some Tottenham fans of the city's sworn enemies expressed their opinions online, and they gloated about calling it a "master-apprentice break"!

It's not a big deal to watch the excitement at all.

Later, I didn't know about it until I went back to the locker room and looked through my phone.

And in the first half, Arsenal launched several waves of attacks to try to get away goals.

But Atletico Madrid's defense was tenacious, and striker Alvaro Morata seized an attacking opportunity, and if he hadn't shot well, he might have rewritten the scoreline!

In the second half, Atletico Madrid finally changed their tactics, and they suddenly pressed out as a whole and began to storm Arsenal's half.

The Arsenal penalty area became noisy for a while!

The equation was very anxious, and he couldn't sit still on the bench, afraid that before he played, Arsenal would be eliminated by Atletico Madrid!

Finally, in the fifty-fifth minute,

Professor Wenger finally turned around, beckoned to him, and said with a smile: "It seems that I deliberately stopped you from playing, okay, don't sit there anymore, you go play the front midfield, go and take this damn game for me!" We need you!! ”

The professor's words are not finished,

After hearing the word "play", his eyes instantly lit up, and he hurriedly ran to warm up!

Sure enough, the professor still trusts him!

Equation can't help but want to rush to the arena for a long time! I just want to win against Atletico Madrid, which is as hard as a turtle shell! At the same time, all the doubts from the outside world will be broken!

As for why the professor kept not letting himself play, he didn't want to dwell on that anymore!

Because this is a game they have to win!

"This kid is almost suffocated!" The assistant coach looked at the equation like a beast out of the cage and smiled helplessly.

Professor Wenger sighed, "It's our lineup that is not good, and with his talent, he will only be better than he is now!" ”

"The Oriental is on the field???"

On the other side, after Simeone saw the equation playing, he got up from the bench and did not sit firmly on the Diaoyutai again.

Hurried to the sidelines, Simeone began to carefully observe which position the equation was playing!

I'm thinking about how to do it

Suddenly, Simeone trembled, and saw that on the playing field, after just three touches of the ball, the equation suddenly thrust forward quickly, like a sharp blade unsheathed, slamming into their most vulnerable part!

The wind, whistling in my ears.

After the equation broke the ball, he decisively made a return pass, and then rushed towards the opponent's half of the court in an instant!

Although he only touched the ball three times on the pitch, it was the best choice every time.

Including this time!

With the wind blowing in front of him, it vaguely brought the exclamations of the audience!

The heart of the equation is instantly stable!

If there is no mistake, it should be a teammate who sent him an accurate long pass!

Sure enough, as soon as he looked up, he saw an arc in the air falling towards him.

Long passes are like precision guidance!

If the equation is correct, it should be from the captain Xhaka!

In the top run, he has already outpaced several defenders in a straight line, like the wind!

In the face of this long pass,

Equation chooses to trust your instincts, stretch out your right foot slightly, and just lightly pad!

The falling soccer ball was as if it had been glued to the upper of the shoe, without the slightest bounce!

The ball rolled lightly in front of you!

In an instant, the audience was in an uproar!

The equation received a long pass, as if entering a no-man's land, and ran for a long time!!

There's also a defender by his side, Godin!

The equation resolutely takes a big step to the ball,

In the shocked gaze of the audience, he forcibly ate Godin's pursuit with the extreme speed of full physical fitness!

Goalkeeper Oblak was so frightened that he rushed to the penalty area to intercept his opponent.

However, the equation did not give a chance to decisively flick the ball,

After getting rid of the goalkeeper's frontal defense, he directly pulled out his legs and shot angrily!

The force used was very resolute, and it almost threw the whole person out.

With a loud bang, the football flew mercilessly towards the opponent's goal!

Then, I saw this goal, and the whole net was lifted high!

Quiescence!

The entire Civitas Metropolitano Stadium is silent!

There was only a small area where the Arsenal fans were shouting and celebrating!

In the 59th minute, Arsenal took a one-goal lead!!

The equation ran to the sideline and made a perfect score of skeeling in celebration.

Only this time, he looked at the camera on the sidelines, raised his right hand, and placed his open palm to his ear.

His gaze was filled with disdain that he had never seen before.

It's as if they're declaring war on everyone who doubts them!
