Chapter 63: The Most Watched Competition
Arsene Wenger let out a long loss when he saw the end of the game.
He thought the game was going to be over.
Especially when you're two goals down.
After all, the other party is Manchester United.
Arsenal's squad is out of order, and injuries are serious.
Two balls behind the case.
Arsene Wenger himself felt it was going to be a difficult match.
He's even starting to think about what's next for the league.
But who would have thought that Yelo would be able to help the team win in that situation.
Wenger is completely numb now, anyway, he thinks that the appearance of a guy like Yelo is simply against the laws of football.
In this case.
The teams all won.
Who else can defeat them?
Real Madrid?
Can Real Madrid beat Arsenal at home?
If it was before that.
Carlo Ancelotti is confident.
But now his faith is starting to waver.
He really didn't expect Manchester United to be overturned by Arsenal in that situation.
Is this because Manchester United is too vegetable?
No!
By no means.
Jose Mourinho is a guy who is very good at turning advantages into wins.
But even so.
Manchester United were overturned.
And there is only one reason: Ye Luo!
Ancelotti even thinks.
In that case.
It doesn't matter what team it is in this world.
Facing Ye Luo like that.
I'm afraid it will inevitably be a failure.
Against Arsenal.
It's about dealing with Yelo.
After the game.
The media throughout England are paying homage to Yelo.
"The king of Arsenal helped them walk away with an incredible victory!"
"Two goals behind to equalize, overtake! Is there anything else Yelo can't do? ”
"Hi senior!! Yelo gave Manchester United a six-game losing streak against Arsenal! ”
The whole of England media was boiling.
So much so that the next knockout round of the Champions League seems to have not attracted much attention.
But Arsenal are not going to rest on their laurels.
Because there's still a big game ahead of them going on non-stop.
That was the second leg of the Champions League last-16 knockout round.
Arsenal are away from home against Real Madrid.
So after this game against Manchester United.
The whole Arsenal team immediately flew to Madrid.
in Madrid.
They borrowed the training base of Atletico Madrid.
It just so happened that Atletico Madrid was also going to play the knockout round of the Champions League.
Their training base was also vacated.
It's a very luxurious training base, and it's cheaper than Arsenal.
Of course, Atletico Madrid is also willing to make things easier for Real Madrid's opponents.
After all, it's a mortal enemy.
Three days later.
Arsenal face Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
That's the fateful moment.
So.
Can Arsenal knock out Real Madrid away from home?
At least.
Unlike Ancelotti, who felt a headache.
Most people are pessimistic.
The English media felt it.
The chances of Arsenal knocking out Real Madrid away are all too low.
It's not that Arsenal don't have the quality.
It's the reality of the situation.
Arsenal have just endured a tough battle in midweek.
Plus the lineup is not in lineup.
Fitness, squad, away factors.
A combination of reasons.
Arsenal are not dominant.
Meantime.
What about their opponents, Real Madrid?
Real Madrid did not play at the weekend.
Real Madrid in order to prepare for this game.
I specifically requested a postponement of the weekend's competition.
The point is that the Spanish Football Federation also agreed.
You can see that.
Real Madrid's position in Spain and the flexibility of the Spanish Football Federation.
And what about the conservative and stubborn English FA.
Postponement?
Dream on.
It's impossible.
If you can play in the Champions League, you can't play it, get out of the game early.
So as soon as this happened.
Arsenal's media are angry that the English FA is inferior to the Spanish Football Federation.
There is no due care for the teams participating in the Champions League.
But no matter what.
Arsenal had a tough game against Manchester United at the weekend.
And Real Madrid is not playing any games at all.
It can be regarded as waiting for work.
The media in Madrid are therefore very optimistic.
They are still well aware of Ye Luo's strength.
But.
They believe that Yelo's threat will at best be a little more effort for Real Madrid when they knock out Arsenal.
Yelo can cause problems for Real Madrid.
But it doesn't dictate the outcome of the game.
In the end, he will be eliminated along with Arsenal.
The only goal of Yelo in this game is to brush the score.
Strive to extend your lead in the scorers' charts.
Therefore, Real Madrid's backline should pay attention.
Ye Luo can't be given a chance.
Madrid's media is not underestimating Yelo.
It's just that Arsenal look really weak now.
Such a team.
How could it be possible to beat Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid?
The weekend against Manchester United.
It should be all the energy of Arsenal.
Do they still have the energy to accomplish anything remarkable at the Bernabeu?
Although it is said that in the first leg between the two sides, Ye Luo scored two goals.
But the media in Madrid analyzed how difficult and difficult it was for Ye Luo to score these two goals.
It's so difficult to score goals at home.
Isn't it harder away from home?
Based on this logic.
The media in Madrid concluded.
It will be difficult for Yelo to cause problems for Real Madrid.
Arsenal are missing most of their main players.
The difference in quality between Real Madrid and the current one is huge.
The Madrid media believe there is absolutely no reason to favour Arsenal to qualify on the road.
Even if they still win at home.
Although the outside world is not optimistic about Arsenal.
But Arsenal themselves feel very good.
After all, they are the ones who are leading the aggregate score now.
In training.
They also showed their self-confidence.
It's a powerful confidence.
Even if they are in Madrid now, they are in the enemy's lair.
They didn't panic in the slightest.
This strong self-confidence comes from their confidence in the weekend's win over Manchester United.
Beat Manchester United.
It gave the Arsenal players a lot of fighting spirit and strength.
Arsene Wenger will naturally take advantage of that.
These days.
He found someone to collect the local newspaper.
Find out all the reports that denigrate Arsenal and despise Arsenal.
The day before the game.
He translated it specifically at the tactical meeting and showed it to the Arsenal players.
"This is what the local media in Madrid have to say about our game in the past few days."
Arsene Wenger said, waving the newspaper in his hand.
"Guess what?" He asked.
Everyone looked at each other.
Then the captain on duty, Ye Luo, replied: "There's nothing to guess, boss, it must be said that we will definitely not be able to win against Real Madrid, and we will definitely be eliminated...... That's what you say, right? ”
Ye Luo turned his head and asked his teammates.
Everyone nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes." ”
Wenger smiled: "That's right, the enemy won't have anything good to say." ”
Then he flipped through a newspaper.
'Everyone knows that they say Real Madrid will beat us at home without much difficulty.
He said, holding the newspaper up.
"Marca believes that Real Madrid are already thinking about their opponents in the quarter-finals."
"Oh oh oh, that's good news, they think Arsenal have Yelo, so they still need a dike, but. In the end, it was Real Madrid who advanced. ”
"Hahaha, in his opinion, does Ye Luo just need to be dike?"
Some players laughed.
They thought these Madridians were so cute.
It's Arsenal who are leading the way now.
And.
They actually dared to underestimate Ye Luo so much.
It really is
I don't know how to write dead words.
Arsene Wenger also sees the confidence of his players.
He laughed: "It's good, the enemy underestimated us, so, let's surprise them in tomorrow's game." Guys, think about the look on the faces of those who swore that we would be eliminated tomorrow if we beat them at the Bernabeu! ”
Carlo Ancelotti stood in front of the home team's dugout at the Bernabeu Stadium, where 28 hours were left before the start of the game.
The inside of the stadium was empty. He could only be here because he is the manager of Real Madrid.
He stood in front of the home team's dugout and looked left and right.
Tomorrow here there will be a vicious battle.
Ancelotti doesn't think Arsenal will be easy to deal with, unlike those who are journalists.
Yes.
Arsenal now look like they will have to rely on Yelo.
But that's this Yelo.
It's just too hard to deal with.
He is very dangerous.
Before this crucial game.
Carlo Ancelotti has to make sure everything is fine.
Carlo Ancelotti began to walk towards the pitch.
Stroll through the lawns of the Bernabeu.
Feel the quality of the turf.
He also bent down and touched the turf.
After discovering that the turf was strictly trimmed to his required length.
Nodding in satisfaction.
The turf is mowed very short.
Short grass and hard surfaces, such a field is not elastic, but it will make the football roll on it faster, and the bottom bounce will be higher, and it will rush forward faster.
These characteristics are in line with Real Madrid's tactical style.
If the turf is too soft, it will make the players feel unable to exert force on it, and it will also affect the speed at which the ball rolls.
Some passes can easily penetrate the opposition's defence on short turf, but on long turf they will experience more resistance and slow down.
This turf is indeed the best for Real Madrid to play.
But he also knew.
Arsenal are also fast.
Especially Yelo.
And in this game, they are very likely to take advantage of Ye Luo's speed.
Hit Real Madrid on the counterattack.
Although the media in Madrid blew the sky.
It's as if Real Madrid have already qualified.
But Ancelotti was sober.
Now behind on aggregate is Real Madrid.
In other words, Real Madrid must press out at home to attack.
Let's not talk about Arsenal's defense.
Their counterattack was really sharp.
Arsenal just need to get the ball to Yelo.
can create a threat.
If you can get past Arsenal, then
This season, maybe he can lead Real Madrid to the championship, right?
In La Liga, Real Madrid are already far behind.
Therefore.
Carlo Ancelotti knows very well that if he can't win the Champions League, he won't be in the position of manager of Real Madrid next season.
In Florentino's mind, Carlo Ancelotti has always been an over-coach.
'They're definitely going to play on the counter-attack, what we need most in this game is to score goals, it's all about when to score the first goal!'
Zidane said.
Ancelotti nodded and did not speak.
The attention of the whole game was undoubtedly huge.
Before the game.
Many clashes broke out between fans on both sides.
English football hooligans can be said to have a bad reputation.
But in fact there are quite a few extreme fans in Spain.
Even Real Madrid, a self-proclaimed aristocrat.
There are also some extreme fan groups.
These fan groups are violent.
That's why it's extreme.
In the past two days, Madrid's security services have been nervous and have taken strict precautions.
But there are still many conflicts.
On the whole, it is the extreme fans of Real Madrid who have the upper hand.
After all, this is Madrid.
England's football hooligans have a reputation though.
But the combat effectiveness is really not good.
There used to be games between England and Rakshasas.
As a result, more than 1,000 English football hooligans were pressed and beaten by 200 Rakshasa football hooligans.
Afterwards, the great commander of the Rakshasa Kingdom, Putin, sighed: "Anyway, I can't understand how more than a thousand people were pressed and beaten by two hundred people."
In the streets of Madrid.
All sorts of flags and slogans that humiliated Arsenal appeared.
Among them, Yelo is Arsenal's number one star.
Naturally, Real Madrid fans are the target of attack.
It stands to reason that Ye Luo is so powerful.
In fact, Real Madrid fans usually don't make any personal attacks on such a powerful star.
Because who can guarantee that he won't join Real Madrid?
But who let Ye Luo cut off the way to join Real Madrid by himself.
So much so that Real Madrid fans scolded without the slightest psychological burden.
All kinds of slogans humiliating Yelo can be seen everywhere.
When the Arsenal bus travels from your accommodation to the Bernabeu.
These slogans are quite glaring.
It's not a new thing anyway.
It's racism and stuff like that.
Ye Luo was no longer surprised.
These Spaniards.
I don't know where the confidence comes from.
Ye Luo pouted.
The bus drove directly to the stadium.
Stopped at the entrance of the dedicated passage.
When the players get out of the car and rush in.
The media reporters are waiting.
See the players show up. ,
The flash flashed.
The click of the shutter joins in one.
There are also reporters who want to interview Arsenal's number one star Ye Luo.
"We're not here for tourism, we're here to beat Real Madrid and advance to the quarter-finals."
"But Real Madrid haven't lost in this stadium for two years"
The journalist reminded.
Ye Luo smiled slightly: "Then I'm honored, because the last time Real Madrid lost here was because of me." ”
Last time Real Madrid lost at home.
It goes back to the Champions League against Malaga.
That one game.
Ye Luo's big four happy.
Defeated Real Madrid.
And.
After that game.
Real Madrid have not lost at the Bernabeu.
Steady so that many teams come to the Bernabeu and can't help but tremble, and they are afraid before fighting.
But this does not include Yelo.
Because Ye Luo has very good memories in a stadium.
Yelo's words made Madrid's reporters look ugly.
Because Yelo is qualified to say this.
He faced Real Madrid five times in this stadium and he won, five times.
Madrid's journalists are in the league.
Nothing could be more poignant than the truth.
After the Arsenal players entered the dressing room.
The Real Madrid players' buses also arrived at the entrance of the dedicated tunnel at the Bernabeu.
Soon.
Journalists flocked to the front.
Ancelotti got out of the car with a straight face.
He ignored the media.
Instead, he walked straight into the passage.
Rather, it's Cristiano. Ronaldo enjoyed being chased by reporters.
"There's nothing to talk about, it's our home turf!"
Cristiano. The Ronaldo version wears sunglasses and looks cool.
The short hair on the head was carefully erected with hairspray, like steel needles.
"We haven't lost in this stadium for two years!"
Cristiano said confidently.
"But, just now Ye Luo said. The last time Real Madrid lost here was because of him. ”
A reporter said.
Really.
Cristiediano had a very unhappy look on his face: "Then let's wait and see!" Just right. It's also our chance for revenge! ”
After speaking.
He turned and walked away.
Only a group of disgruntled journalists remained.
But soon.
Everyone was excited.
Ronaldo and Yelo.
this game.
It seems that it is destined to be on the bar!
And at this time.
The game hasn't started yet.
Fans from both sides were already on the pitch.
The level of hostility between the two sides is almost on the verge of catching up with the level of hostility between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
On the one hand, Ye Luo has completely offended Real Madrid fans.
On the other hand.
The rivalry between Cristi Diano and Yelo.
It also made Real Madrid fans have a certain hostile attitude towards Arsenal. (End of chapter)
