Although time is running out,

However, Galatasaray will not want to give up the game yet and will have to compete with Club Brugge for third place in the group, as the third in the group will still play in the Europa League.

For example, when the underdogs draw this group, their best goal is actually to play in the Europa League. After all, a strong team overturning is always a small probability event.

And before the game was over, Yuto Nagatomo was substituted.

He's 33 years old now, and his fitness is not as good as that of a young man, and it's a good result to be able to play 80 minutes in a highly competitive game like the Champions League.

When he stepped off the court, Yuto Nagatomo's expression was a little depressed, thinking that he was really old, and he couldn't compare to a young man. It's a pity that after playing in Europe for so many years, he has never achieved a dazzling honor.

In the end, the score was locked at 2:1.

Arsenal remained unbeaten in the group stage and progressed to the round of 16.

Wenger was a little unhappy with the result.

He was not satisfied with the performance of his disciples, but felt that the team relied too much on the performance of the equation. It's like if Arsenal can't win the game if the equation doesn't play.

If the next day, the equation is really injured, then how can Arsenal's results be guaranteed?

Arsene Wenger fell silent and could only pray that day would never be met.

After the race, the equation was treated with a liquid nitrogen cryochamber.

The function of this liquid nitrogen freezer is to freeze the muscles of the body.

It accelerates the metabolism in the muscles of the human body and helps athletes recover their body functions as soon as possible.

Because their next game is to play Liverpool, there is no doubt that it will be another difficult game.

So the equation needs your own physical strength to recover as soon as possible.

Liverpool are now riding high, sitting top of the league and winning six in a row. Under Jurgen Klopp, the team's momentum has reached its peak and is unstoppable.

They won the Champions League last season,

They will win the Premier League for the first time in their history this season.

This year Liverpool is unstoppable!

.

The day after the Champions League group stage,

UEFA started the draw for the 1/8 knockout round.

The top 16 of the Champions League are all released: the Premier League and La Liga × 4, Serie A and Bundesliga × 3, and Ligue 1 × 2.

Premier League: Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham all qualified;

La Liga: Barcelona, Real Madrid, Wallen, and Atletico Madrid all qualified;

Serie A: Juventus, Napoli, Atalanta qualified, Inter Milan out;

Bundesliga: Bayern, Dort, Leipzig qualify;

Ligue 1: Paris and Lille qualify.

Inter Milan finished third in the group and went to the Europa League, failing to qualify for the Champions League for two consecutive years.

Also on the day of the draw, the whole Arsenal team had dinner together to watch the live broadcast of the Champions League draw.

The domestic time is at 7 p.m., and you can watch the live broadcast synchronously.

Soon, the guests of the Champions League drew the first signing of the Premier League -

Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid.

Second draw in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur vs Leipzig.

Although Tottenham Hotspur was beaten by Bayern in the Champions League group stage, with their strength, they still barely managed to qualify from the group.

The third signing in the Premier League, Manchester City vs Paris Saint-Germain.

For the fourth signing in the Premier League, it will be Arsenal's turn.

At this time, the teams that qualified as the second in the group were only Napoli and Real Madrid.

Real Madrid played a bit poorly this season, with 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, with a small goal difference, and qualified as the second in the group stage.

According to the rules, Arsenal, as the group leader, has to draw one of the two teams that are second in the group as an opponent.

"It's our turn, who will be this draw??"

"I mean, Real Madrid should be better than Napoli now, right? If the

"Don't say it, don't talk nonsense now!"

Wait until this time,

Arsenal's team-mates were nervous, as if they were waiting for their results to be announced.

However, it turned out to be just as everyone thought,

Arsenal drew Real Madrid.

Finally, it is no longer Bayern for five years and Barcelona for three years, but Real Madrid, the Champions League hegemon, has been drawn.

The Arsenal teammates immediately raised their glasses and shouted,

"I told it, I guessed it a long time ago! It's Real Madrid! ”

"I knew it was going to happen, Real Madrid! What I love the most is the sunshine in Sibanga! ”

"I have to say that UEFA's arrangement is really good, and the ratings of our knockout round are definitely number one!"

Seeing his teammates talking nonsense, he couldn't help but feel a little crying and laughing.

Well, that's still too exciting.

From the perspective of Champions League promotion, it is indeed bad luck for them to draw a top giant like Real Madrid in the 1/8 knockout round.

However, Xhaka's temper was certainly not afraid of Real Madrid, and he stood up and shouted excitedly,

"Listen to me, friends! No matter who the opponent is, even if it's Bayern Munich, we have to beat them hard! We're going to make history and the last 16 of the Champions League is just the beginning! ”

"Yes, that's a start!"

The young and vigorous Haaland was the first to chimed in.

Immediately, the equation also felt his blood surge, and shouted excitedly with his teammates, "We want to make history!" ”

In the domestic live broadcast,

Zhan Jun, who was the commentator on the Champions League draw, was also surprised by the result, stating:

"The first match between Arsenal and Real Madrid is on February 17, so it's two months away."

"Arsenal at home and then away."

"I didn't expect Arsenal to return to the Champions League in the first 1/8 knockout game, and met the powerful Real Madrid. Although Real Madrid finished second in their group this year and their form has been up and down, let's not forget that they are the champions with the most Champions League trophies. No one can underestimate them, and maybe in two months, their strong squad strength will be restored. ”

.

"The entry restrictions for the Champions League winter window have been relaxed, and Real Madrid can pay a high penalty to introduce the equation and improve the squad against Arsenal."

- Marca

'Real Madrid are a formidable opponent and Arsenal need to prepare seriously and they will have to make important signings in the winter window.

- London Evening News

"Zidane will not take Arsenal lightly and has already made a request for reinforcements from Florentino. The equation will face a number of clubs chasing it in the winter window. ”

- "As" newspaper

"Arsenal have to settle the issue of the Orientals' release fee before the start of the winter window, and if they don't, they will lose the core of the team."

- World Sports Newspaper

Suddenly, the matter of the solution of the equation flew all over Europe as quickly as it had grown wings.

In fact, there are already some big clubs in the big five leagues who know about this news, but out of prudence, those big clubs are actually waiting to see how the equation performs this season.

Except for the Milan duo

After all, there has never been a player as good as him in Eastern football.

Those teams were afraid that his appearance would be a flash in the pan, so they didn't dare to risk contacting him.

Of course, if you don't dare to be the first person to eat crabs, you will naturally miss out on the precious opportunity.

But

In fact, the equation has not revealed the idea of leaving Arsenal. This is also an important reason

Now, he has helped Arsenal qualify, which proves that his quality level is beyond doubt.

Come to think of it, the European football giants are already regretting their previous hesitation.

In this regard, Arsenal's senior management has also begun to act, and in recent days, they have found the agent of the equation many times in a row, discussing whether to renew his salary increase, and openly and secretly proposed to eliminate the termination fee clause.

Unfortunately, Equation's agent has not been in London for several months, so Arsenal's hierarchy can only wait, even if they are already anxious about the release fee.

Time flies, 12.11.

The 17th round of the Premier League ushered in a focus battle,

Arsenal host Liverpool.

In an interview before the game, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was asked by reporters if the Arsenal core would prevent them from winning the Premier League title.

Klopp thought for a moment and replied: "Needless to say, Arsenal continue to be competitive this season and it will be a very difficult game. However, we are well prepared and as long as we limit the play of the equation, I am sure Liverpool will get a good result. ”

The oriental reporters in the audience listened very comfortably,

Once, when many people saw Sun Jihai, Dong Fangzhuo and others staying in the Premier League, they thought that this was the beginning of oriental football, but who knew that it was the final peak.

Now, it is not easy for a manager like Klopp to specialize in restricting Eastern players.

.

And the equation did not go to the pre-game interview with the head coach,

He went straight to the locker room to warm up before the game.

But even if he didn't go to the press conference, he could know that Liverpool would definitely limit themselves.

Liverpool's squad is 433.

Goalkeeper: Alisson

Back: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson

Midfielders: Henderson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum

Front: Salah, Firmino, Mane

And the referee of this game is Oliver,

Because of the often controversial decisions, Oliver is affectionately known to Premier League fans as the youngest of the Fantastic Four.

"What, is it Oliver?"

Bukayo Saka changed into his boots in the dressing room and it was only then that he discovered that there was a problem with their referee for the game.

Equation nodded, "Yes, it's him, it seems that with him blowing the penalty game, the winning rate of our game will drop a lot."

Saka was a little speechless, "Then we, this is simple."

Xhaka snorted, slapped the cabinet, and said loudly: "What are you afraid of, we will directly smash Liverpool!" ”

"Yes, Liverpool!"

Lacazette's eyes lit up, and he and Haaland excitedly echoed it.

In other words, Arsene Wenger played a new twist in this game, allowing Haaland to play as a winger and start alongside Alexandre Lacazette.

Seeing this, the equation put his worries behind him and cheered on with his teammates.

It doesn't matter if Oliver is blind or not, the game hasn't started yet, but he can't destroy his ambition!

But

The facts have taught Arsenal's youngsters a good lesson.

At the beginning of the first half,

Equation scalpel straight to Haaland opened 58 seconds of blitz,

But in the end, Van Dijk blocked an inverted triangle pass and suspected handball in the box.

Referee Oliver didn't seem to see it and didn't award a penalty.

The whole Arsenal team unbelievably stretched out their hands to the referee, so confident, didn't even look at the VAR?

Coach Oliver was calm, and he pointed at Xhaka, who had the most excited expression, and signaled to stop talking nonsense.

The Emirates Stadium erupted in loud boos.

This is Arsenal's home stadium, and this Oliver still dares to open his eyes and make a blind judgment.

“＆*％ get out！！”

"FK, don't let me see you FA dog on the street!"

"Does he want to retire?!"

Klopp, on the other hand, had no opinion on the decision, and he yelled at the players on the pitch in displeasure, as if to say that the opponent could not be given another chance to pass through.

Liverpool's central midfield is naturally aware of this.

Wait until Arsenal grab the ball and attack again.

They just stared at the equation, and once the equation received the ball, they would rather have a small movement behind them, which could not give a chance to turn.

So, Fabinho put the equation on the ground twice in a row in a matter of minutes.

This is obviously the treatment that only the core of the team will receive.

At this moment, the Arsenal fans erupted in boos.

Coach Oliver then walked over and gave Fabinho a verbal warning.

However, the fans will not buy it, brag about it again, and continue to put pressure on Oliver.

The equation stood up, feeling a little angry.

Although this was expected, there was still some emotion in my heart.

Xhaka was so angry that he wanted to go up again, but the equation got up and grabbed him, saying, "Don't worry, we'll fight back with goals!" ”

Xhaka said fiercely: "Okay, I see that they have been at the top of the list for a long time. ”

Arsenal were awarded set-pieces near the halfway line,

Before the whistle blew, Thomas pushed the football to the equation.

Equation pulls his leg on the spot and sends a pass over the top to the left. It's a free kick fast!

Haaland is already walking on the wing,

This over-the-top pass, with just the right amount of force, fell in front of Haaland.

At the same time, Saka on the right also rushed forward, and it was flying with both wings.

Haaland was fast, grabbed a football first, and cut into the penalty area diagonally like a sharp arrow!

Van Dijk was very experienced defensively and immediately pounced on Haaland.

However, Haaland did not have the idea of breaking through Van Dijk at all, and after attracting everyone's attention, he passed the ball diagonally!

Liverpool's front of the penalty area has Xhaka stepped in,

Facing the football, Xhaka rushed and was about to shoot!

At this moment, Van Dijk and Lovren in the penalty area were both startled, and quickly turned around, trying to block Xhaka's long-range shot.

However, they were deceived and Xhaka did not touch the football, but deliberately slipped to the back of the side.

The equation rushed up in stride, forming a tacit understanding with Xhaka's leaked ball.

Facing the rolling football, the equation decisively volleyed vigorously with the right foot and instep,

With a loud bang,

The ball flew out of a straight line and slammed into the bottom right corner of the goal.

The equation didn't waste the running and pulling of teammates, and blasted a perfect world wave long shot!
