Chapter Twenty-Six: Bringing Victory Back to London

After playing Tottenham, Arsenal have a full 10 days to prepare for the second leg against Bayern Munich.

One thing to say, although Arsenal won the first leg, but in terms of overall strength, Bayern is obviously superior, after all, they did Nana three goals away from home, and finally lost because of a stunner.

And after returning to the home field, they only need to win 1-0 to advance through the away goal advantage, and it is really hard to say whose side the initiative is.

What you don't have to think about is that this time Lin Yun has definitely been put under the microscope by Bayern and studied repeatedly to the point that the defenders want to vomit, and it is obviously unrealistic to want to win as surprisingly as in the last game.

Only hard hits.

But what is a headache for Wenger is that this kid has behaved very wrong in the recent training match, and he has completely lost the vigor of some time ago.

One thing to say, even the characters in football games are often gods and ghosts, not to mention living people, Wenger is mentally prepared for this situation, what he is most afraid of is that Lin Yunshen will wilt in this crucial battle after three games.

What's even worse for him is that Wilshere was injured in training, and according to the team doctor, he must not be able to make it to this game.

"It's ...... mind-blowing"

Arsene Wenger tugged at his hair in distress on the sidelines.

The more he looked at Mr. Bean, the more he looked at it, and Lin Yun wanted to laugh once he saw it, which made the professor inexplicable, and he soon became angry.

You're still laughing when you're in such a bad state?

Of course, he didn't know that this thing now has a trait called "Mr. Big Scene", and the more this kind of competition, the more exciting he becomes, and the state in training is not accurate.

"Lin, come here!"

"What's wrong, boss?"

"Did you fool around somewhere last night?"

"Fool around? No, I don't. ”

"Then why is it in such a bad state?"

"Is there a possibility that it's because other people are in too good shape, so I seem to be in normal shape and become particularly spicy chicken?"

"Is that so?"

"It should be."

"Hopefully ......"

Although he knew he was talking nonsense, the professor still felt better, but Giroud, who had just scored three goals in a row with his head kick in the confrontation, did not feel good.

What do you mean?

My feet are so hot that I have to be a substitute?

As if sensing his resentment, Lin Yun glanced at him strangely.

What's the matter, do you still want to start?

……

Ahead of Arsenal's trip to Germany, the other four quarter-finals have already taken the lead.

Juventus beat Celtic 2-0 to advance 5-0 over two legs;

Paris Saint-Germain played 1-1 at home to Valencia and reached the quarter-finals with an aggregate score of 3-2;

Borussia Dortmund beat Shakhtar Donetsk 3-0 to become the third to qualify 5-2 over two legs.

Finally, there is the focus on Manchester United vs Real Madrid.

Whether it's Cristiano Ronaldo's return to the Theatre of Dreams against his old club, or Ryan Giggs' 1,000th career milestone match, this matchup has become extraordinary.

In the game, the two sides first played to a 1-1 draw, and finally Higuain assisted Cristiano Ronaldo to score the killer goal, and Real Madrid eliminated Manchester United 3-2 on aggregate to become one of the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League.

Cristiano Ronaldo also continues to lead the Champions League scorer list with eight goals in eight games.

After that, it's time for the remaining four groups.

Malaga vs Porto, Bayern Munich vs Arsenal, Schalke 04 vs Galatasaray, Barcelona vs AC Milan.

There is no doubt that Bayern vs Gunners and Barcelona vs Milan have received the most attention.

Bayern are 4-3 down in the first leg and will certainly do their best when they return home, while Barcelona also lost 2-0 away to Milan in the first leg, and will definitely fight back when they return to Camp Nou.

What puzzles fans is that these two games are played at the same time, and everyone can only choose one or skip to watch.

This was Lin Yun's first time in Germany, but he came as the least popular character among Germans.

To put it mildly, the whole of Munich regarded him as their number one enemy.

The streets are full of Bayern fans, buses pass by, and middle fingers can be seen everywhere.

Wenger was afraid that this hairy kid wouldn't be able to stand this battle, so he specially arranged a side task for the old Jianghu Rosicky in the team, and asked him to help Lin Yun do a good job of psychological adjustment, but Rosicky looked at Lin Yun's excited appearance, and he couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

Entering the hotel, resting, training, resting, secretly playing games, adapting to the venue, and the pre-game press conference, everything went smoothly, and Bayern did not make any off-the-shelf tricks such as cutting off water and electricity or sending hot girls to provide door-to-door service in the middle of the night, and the game officially began on the third day.

Lin Yun, who has always pretended to be very calm, has a bit of a fledgling appearance.

After all, it's the Allianz Arena......

Even if you are a fan, you will inevitably feel a little emotional when you visit here, let alone come here as an opponent to play the knockout round of the Champions League.

After warming up, walking back to the locker room, everyone was quite quiet during the whole process, in stark contrast to the noisy stands, as if there was an invisible pressure hanging over everyone.

Arsene Wenger has stopped talking about the tactical side of things, because there is so much talk these days.

He just looked at his disciple and said calmly: "We only need a draw to advance, but that's not Arsenal's football philosophy, so you should know what to do." ”

"Attack! Offensive! Offensive! ”

"Bring victory back to London!"

'Arsenal have suffered two defeats at Munich, and even their last victory in Germany was against Hamburg in 2006, while Bayern have won 10, drawn five and lost one of their 16 home games against English sides, with the only defeat coming in the 1993 UEFA Cup defeat to Norwich......

Bayern Munich came up with the strongest lineup, Robery started together, and Dante, who fouled Lin Yun in the last game and injured himself, sat on the bench.

For Arsenal, Rosicky replaced the injured Wilshere, Gibbs and Fabianski returned from injury, and Koscielny rotated for Vermaelen.

The starters of both sides are as follows.
