Chapter Twenty-Nine: Opponents

Champions League games are always something to look forward to.

This is the highest level of football in the world.

Although in terms of the ability to absorb gold, the Champions League is definitely not as good as the World Cup, which is once every four years and is also tied to national and national honors.

But at the technical and tactical level.

The Champions League is considered to be the highest level in the world.

After all, the national team is a temporary team, and it cannot be compared with the club in terms of the training and run-in of the team.

Let's take an analogy.

If it is said.

The Champions League final is a game between two teams with 100 points, and they face each other with 100 points of fighting spirit.

Then the World Cup final is an event in which two teams with 80 points of fighting spirit of 120 points are played.

Isn't that why the World Cup final is getting more attention.

True.

The level of skill in the Champions League final is higher.

But you will never see a player in the Champions League, fighting to break his leg and complete a defense, and fighting for a six-month ban on red dot packages to block the ball out of the goal with his hands

But for Ye Luo.

World Cup Finals. It doesn't have much to do with him.

Therefore, the Champions League final is the highest level of competition he can participate in.

Therefore.

The media in the Dragon Kingdom are quite expectant of this.

Before the tournament arrived, they had already started to warm up.

Even if the opponents in Arsenal's group this season are not very strong, in the Dragon Country, Arsenal's Champions League matches are more watched than the events in the group of death.

It's not just the media.

In fact.

Among the players, they are also looking forward to the arrival of the Champions League.

In the locker room in Barcelona, after training, when everyone was chatting, someone mentioned Yelo.

"That guy was eliminated from Arsenal after a one-game suspension last season, and I wonder if he will accumulate yellow cards this season?"

'It's difficult, he's a striker, and this season he's significantly reduced the number of midfield activities and the defensive task isn't heavy.

"Arsenal's squad has gotten stronger!"

"I'm honestly a little scared at the thought of maybe facing this guy."

"What are you afraid of, I'm looking forward to playing him again now!"

For the players at Barcelona.

Ye Luo's name is definitely often mentioned in people's ears.

Because he and Messi are now recognized opponents.

The competition between the two in the Champions League goals is almost white-hot.

The Barcelona players also know that Messi attaches great importance to Yelo's opponent - when he faced Cristiano. When Ronaldo, Messi didn't pay so much attention to it!

But that's obviously a good thing for Barca.

Messi has exploded with all his might in almost every game, tirelessly pursuing goals.

La Liga started three rounds.

Messi scored six goals!

Although it is a little worse than Ye Luo's efficiency of ten goals in four rounds of the Premier League, it is not far off.

To say before that.

Barcelona will definitely not look down on Arsenal as an opponent.

Arsenal's unbeaten season of winning the championship, that year's Champions League final, it was Barcelona who defeated Arsenal and ended Arsenal's Champions League dream.

But now.

Barcelona, however, already regard Arsenal as their biggest rival in the Champions League this season.

Why?

The reason for all this can only be because of Ye Luo.

Messi heard the talk of his teammates, and his face was also very solemn.

It's different from Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the face of Yelo, Messi did not hide his competitive mentality at all.

He's going to win!

Be sure to win!

See Messi's expression.

Many Barcelona players sighed in their hearts.

There is only Ye Luo who can make Messi care so much.

He must have wanted to beat him head-on.

Real Madrid are also preparing for the Champions League.

They will face Juventus in the first round of the group stage.

This is not an easy opponent to play against.

Juventus, who returned to Serie A after being relegated after the "phonegate" incident, quickly regained their position as the dominant player in Serie A.

Under Antonio Conte, they have won the Serie A title for two consecutive seasons.

Gianluigi Buffon, Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, Ogbonna and Barzagli formed the best defence in Serie A.

In the midfield, Juventus has the commander Andrea Pirlo who controls the overall situation, the hitters Vidal and Marchisio next to the commander, and the talented midfielder, Pogba, the talented midfielder who has exploded in technique, imagination, physical strength and flexibility at his feet!

There are also Argentine beast Tevez and striker Llorente on the forward line.

Such a starting lineup is really luxurious.

Therefore, on the Real Madrid side, in order to prepare for this game, targeted training was also carried out very early.

The new Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is clearly jealous of Juventus.

He has repeatedly stressed that the enemy cannot be taken lightly.

But it is clear that Real Madrid's stars are not to say that they don't look at Juventus.

But they are clearly more focused on Barcelona and Arsenal.

It's normal for Real Madrid to be concerned about Barcelona.

And the reason for paying attention to Arsenal is naturally because of Ye Luo.

Cristiano, who treats Messi and Yelo as his opponents. Ronaldo has been really motivated these days.

He can't wait for the Champions League.

Last season.

Real Madrid was directly eliminated by Arsenal and stopped in the quarterfinals!

This season, they definitely want to complete their revenge!

This makes Cristiano. Ronaldo is very angry.

Especially.

Real Madrid's dressing room has already laid out the culprit – last season's manager Jose Mourinho.

If it weren't for the fact that he was too conservative.

If it weren't for his insistence on a damn defensive counter-attacking strategy.

Why did Real Madrid get eliminated in the quarterfinals!

Real Madrid was born to be Champions League winners!

"We must win the Champions League this season!"

In the locker room, Cristiano. Ronaldo yelled.

'I'm especially looking forward to the game against Arsenal right now, so they don't want to be knocked out before they hit us!'

His voice just fell.

Marcelo, who is the number one horse, immediately echoed: "That's right! We want revenge, we want champions! We have a scorer like Chris, and winning the Champions League is a matter of course! ”

"Ye Luo! He can't compare to you! ”

Marcelo exclaimed.

"Ronaldo is the best!!"

Real Madrid's dressing room.

The Portuguese players began to tout loudly.

This season.

The head coach was replaced by An Fat, who everyone likes.

In terms of tactics, Ancelotti did not give too many defensive tasks to the big-name players in the front court, although Real Madrid has played the gene of defense after three years of Mourinho, but under Ancelotti, it is not as strict as Mourinho's requirements for defense.

This gives Real Madrid's frontcourt stars a certain amount of freedom.

It makes them feel very good.

Reflected in La Liga, it is Real Madrid who have won three consecutive league games!

Cristiano. Ronaldo has scored seven goals in three La Liga games!

beat Messi and ranked first in the scorer list!

However, this is not what Ronaldo is happy with.

He's not just going to beat Messi, he's going to beat Yelo and become the best player in the world!
