After the match against West Bromwich Albion.

The whole Arsenal squad had a day off.

Even though Real Madrid will be challenged in three days' time, Arsenal have decided to go ahead and let the main players have a good rest.

And at the end of the season, the training is basically restorative training.

As for what new tactics and new ways of playing are still being studied - unless Arsenal are still in a terrible situation so far this season and have to make changes, no team will easily try any new tactics in the sprint of the season.

The whole Arsenal squad awaits the arrival of Real Madrid in London.

And in fact.

Real Madrid did come to London very early.

They arrived two and a half days early.

On Monday morning, Real Madrid's plane landed in London, and they were warmly welcomed and warmly received by Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham even split their own training base in two, directly giving half of the field to Real Madrid for training, highlighting a hospitality.

Of course.

It's not because Tottenham and Real Madrid have a good relationship, either.

It's because Tottenham and Arsenal don't have a good relationship - to say that the Premier League doesn't want Arsenal to advance, and the last thing they want Arsenal to win the Champions League is Tottenham.

As a sworn enemy of North London.

Originally, everyone was a team that had never won the Champions League, but you got it first.

This feeling. Indeed, just thinking about it can tell how uncomfortable it is.

But it can't be Tottenham's hospitality that will decide the fate of Real Madrid.

It's their own performance on the field.

Before the start of the game.

The media in Madrid, Spain, began to mobilize for the decisive battle of Real Madrid.

For days on end, they were saying something in the newspaper that was not shocking and endless.

"Real Madrid is at its most dangerous moment."

Ye Luo came across this headline of "Marca" when he was scrolling through Twitter.

He pouted and complained: "Damn. I almost sang it."

"What are you looking at?"

Cazorla, who was eating breakfast on the side, also came over.

Rules on Arsenal's side.

The day before the game.

The whole team had to stay together, eating, drinking, and sleeping.

So now the Arsenal players are getting together for breakfast.

"Look at the news in Spain," Yelo said.

I don't know when he also got into the habit of eating while looking at his phone.

"There's nothing to see, it's just those words, what unity, finals, honor, hard work, hard work, attitude." Cazorla said, shaking her head.

"It seems that the media all over the world is pretty much the same." Ye Luo said.

"Oh? Would you like to hear more? ”

"Ah, you don't know, I've heard these words since I was a child," Ye Luo said.

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"It's true, from five centimeters to twenty-five centimeters."

“？???”

Although Yelo and the rest of the Arsenal players are not much in the Spanish media.

But Real Madrid's players seem to be eating it.

When they were interviewed by the media, they all looked like they were mobilizing before the war.

"We are Real Madrid and we will defend the honor of Real Madrid!"

"Go all out!"

"Miracles? We don't want that right now, but four to four is an accident and we'll prove ourselves away from home! ”

One by one, Real Madrid's players stood up to make a statement.

The media in Madrid have also frequently mentioned some examples of great reversals in the history of the Champions League during this time.

One of the things that has to do with Spanish football is the epic reversal of AC Milan by Deportivo La Coruna.

2004 Champions League quarterfinals.

Deportivo La Coruna faced AC Milan away in the first leg and lost 1-4.

At the time, almost no one would have thought that Deportivo would be able to reverse AC Milan.

Outcome.

Deportivo La Coruna, who returned to their home turf, beat AC Milan 4-0 to eliminate their opponents 5-4 on aggregate.

Although, Real Madrid lost 1-4 on their home turf.

The second leg is away from home.

The difficulty of reversing is even more hellish.

But Madrid's media are very confident that although Deportivo La Coruna's reversal is at their home stadium, but in terms of strength, Real Madrid is far ahead of Deportivo La Coruna, so it is not surprising that Real Madrid completes the reversal even away from home - after all, if you don't look at home and away, it is not impossible to lose 1-4 in the first leg and 4-0 in the second leg.

Although anyone who has studied logic a little bit knows that such an analogy is very illogical and unreasonable.

But as long as the media puts on a "reasonable" posture, many Real Madrid fans can feel like grasping at a life-saving straw.

Anyway.

in Spain.

Suffice it to say that Real Madrid's second leg could be reversed in the media, without exception, the newspapers sold well and the ratings soared.

There are even media to invite some players, coaches, and staff members of Super Laco to teach Real Madrid their reversal experience on TV.

Laco Da Xian'er, the mana is boundless.

The Spanish media and Real Madrid are all engaged in mental stimulation laws.

On the England side, the vast majority of the media believe that Arsenal's promotion to the semi-finals is a certainty.

Second round.

Just go through the motions.

But in fact, Wenger kept emphasizing in training: The opponent is Real Madrid, who dares to underestimate this team, it is a hole in the brain.

If there is any reason why Arsenal could be reversed by Real Madrid. That is, too big, too underestimating the enemy!

Wenger's main job these days is to vaccinate the Arsenal players.

Tell them that the team they are facing is strong and let them play as hard as they can.

Press conference before the game.

Arsene Wenger was taking Arsenal captain Yelo with him.

There were a lot of reporters at the press conference before the Champions League match.

Especially a lot of journalists from Spain.

Many of them are old faces from when Yelo played in Spain.

"What do you think about the next game? The outside world thinks that there is no suspense for Arsenal to reach the semi-finals."

A journalist from Madrid stood up and said.

"How can there be no suspense? There are still 90 minutes to go and I think we have to fully respect our opponents in this game! ”

Ye Luo directly interrupted the other party's words and replied.

He was serious.

This made many Madrid reporters a little stunned.

In fact, before this, they were Spanish journalists who had already colluded.

Be prepared to put on a high hat as much as possible for Arsenal during the question session to make them flutter.

Try to create an environment for Real Madrid where the opponent is very light.

But I didn't expect that.

They haven't made a move yet.

was knocked out by Ye Luo's words.

'Real Madrid is a great team, we will give it our all on our home turf, play this team in our best form and give it our all and I think that's how we respect Real Madrid!'

Ye Luo said with a smile.

Many Madrid reporters showed a bitter smile when they heard that Ye Luo respected Real Madrid so much.

I beg you not to be respectful, okay?

Did this guy predict our prediction?

Arsene Wenger was pleased with Yelo's answer.

My captain has finally become a little more mature.

Arsene Wenger was relieved.

Jose Mourinho is very low-key.

He didn't even say anything shocking in his pre-match press conference.

It makes many media feel very unaccustomed.

However, the Madrid media's interpretation of this is. Jose Mourinho is about to erupt in silence.

But actually

Jose Mourinho has been in a state of flux.

There's no time to think about that.

In fact, Real Madrid is still quite united these days, although there are discords between the generals.

But no one wants to be humiliated by being out of the Champions League

The time for the game is fast coming.

For Arsenal fans.

The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals at halftime was nothing short of an easy party.

They arrived on the pitch with their families and wore Arsenal's home shirts from all eras.

The game hasn't started yet.

The singing has been endless.

The home fans simply have the kind of posture to turn this game into a collective chorus.

It's no wonder they didn't show enough 'nervousness' in the Champions League – you know, their teams have won four to one on the road, and when they return to their home stadium, can they still lose?

"The tone of our game is to be based on defense and improve the efficiency of counter-attacks!"

In the locker room.

Arsene Wenger wasn't as relaxed as the fans in the stands.

On the one hand, he emphasized defense, but also emphasized that the team cannot lie on the basis of a three-goal lead, and must continue to pursue goals in order to completely crush the opponent's fighting spirit!

'Real Madrid will definitely give it their all, they have a luxurious squad and I know I don't feel it when I say that, but I still want to stress that, this is a team. Very, very, very strong 1"

Arsene Wenger used three very points.

"We don't have any reason to despise them. They're going to be very attacking in this game, so we have to be mentally prepared for that, especially in the early stages of the game, we have to defend their attack, we can't let them score at the beginning of the game, I think you all know very well, once they score early, our defense will be very difficult! ”

Arsene Wenger said as he looked around at his players.

"Remember, as long as we don't concede a goal in the opening game, we can basically win this game!"

At this time, Ye Luo also stood up and said: "Our defense may be very passive in this game, but this also means that we have enough space to counterattack!" So. As long as we resist the crazy attack of our opponents in the opening stages, we can reach the semi-finals of the Champions League! ”

Ye Luo clenched his fists: "This is the best chance!" Eliminate Real Madrid and advance to the semi-finals! ”

"Eliminate Real Madrid and advance to the semi-finals!"

All the Arsenal players shouted along.
