At the draw for the round of 16 of the Champions League, everyone looked at Bayern, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Barcelona teams with a little playfulness.

Arsenal vs Bayern Munich, Manchester City vs Barcelona.

Manuel Pellegrini and Arsene Wenger are preparing to battle for bayonets in the Premier League, while thousands of miles away in Nyon, Switzerland, Doggy Figo have drawn their teams into the group of death.

Guagua's face was solemn.

The good news for Bayern is that Arsenal have also lost two games in the group stage and are not invincible.

But the bad news is that in the two games that Arsenal lost, one Lin Yun was absent and the other Lin Yun was substituted.

In other words, Bayern have never been afraid of Arsenal.

They're just afraid of that person......

In London, Lin Yun watched the draw ceremony at home, but Modric, Wilshere, Arteta, and Theo Walcott all ran to him today.

Lin Ming and Isabella also have their own careers and don't live in London permanently, so most of the time this house is only lived by Lin Yun himself, and these guys come to visit the door every now and then, as if they use him here as a small gathering base.

Of course, it is limited to a few of them who have a similar temperament, after all, the only entertainment facilities he has here are a private cinema, a table tennis table, various game consoles, oh, and a mahjong table, and the other old drivers are not very fond of visiting.

"Bump!" Modric took the eight cylinders that Wilshire had just thrown down, put them with the pair in his hand, and then took the time to look at the TV, "I seem to remember, you said that Germany is your lucky place, right?" ”

"No... Dongfeng... The whole earth is my lucky place! ”

"It's the first level to fight the boss again, I don't know what is the difference between Bayern Munich led by Guardiola and Heynckes......" Walcott rubbed the mahjong in his hand with his right thumb, and then came to his eyes and slowly opened it, and finally his eyes lit up, and he slapped the mahjong on the table, "It's paste!" Self-touching hat trick! I just wanted to ask, yet! Yes! Who! ”

Wilshire pushed the mahjong in front of him, "Don't play, don't play...... Well, about Pep Guardiola, that's for Mikel. ”

Everyone looked at Arteta.

Tazige was born in La Masia, and he was at the same time as Harvey and others, so he can be regarded as Guagua's younger generation.

Arteta thought for a moment, reached out and slid a few times in the air, "Pep Guardiola's football is Barcelona football, you know, that's it, pass the ......"

Although everyone wants to break their heads, they don't know what his actions have to do with passing, but they can generally understand what he means.

"Then play it as Barcelona?"

"That's it, it's not like I haven't won against Barcelona."

"Well, Bayern doesn't have Messi."

"But they have Robben."

'That's something for the coaches and defenders to think about, and I still miss Dante and Boateng more.'

Dante and Boateng, who were in Munich, were eyelids jumping in unison, but they were both attracted by the draw results and didn't pay much attention to it.

Unlike Arsenal, they don't have a game tomorrow, a group of people watching the draw live together at the training base.

The reaction was mixed.

It can probably be divided into two factions.

One faction is for the attacking players, "Very good, the opportunity for revenge has come!" ”

The other faction is the defender, "how is it Arsenal again......"

Arsene Wenger and his coaching staff watched the draw at the Kearney training base, and waved their hands calmly after knowing the result, "Don't worry about Bayern Munich, think about how to beat Manchester City first!" ”

The others looked at each other and shrugged at each other.

“…… The main thing against Manchester City is of course to defend well David. Silva. ”

"Sergio Aguero is the number one dangerous man......"

"Yaya. Toure can't be negligent either......"

Manchester City are also second in the group, but they have just won the Champions League group stage Bayern Munich, and they are currently in full swing, and they have maintained a home record in the league this season, and it is not easy to win.

Even if you exclude the factor of strong matchups, according to Arsenal's tradition of collapse in the middle and late stages of the season, everyone's attention to this game is still very high.

Both teams have just returned from playing abroad, with the difference that Manchester City's match with Bayern Munich was the day before, so they also had an extra day of rest than Arsenal, which made Wenger unhappy and once again slammed the FA's schedule at his pre-match press conference.

Pellegrini didn't fight him, but instead went along with it, because Manchester City was also overwhelmed by the tight schedule, and a good pre-match press conference almost turned into a complaining meeting.

Lin Yun is visiting the Etihad Stadium for the first time.

The stadium has a capacity of 55,000 people, which is about the same as the Emirates Stadium.

The two teams have no undying historical grudges, and the current relationship in the standings is not "either die or die", the atmosphere is quite harmonious, but this harmony is not brought to the field, and the two sides fought quite fiercely at the beginning of the game.

"The two sides have met 32 times in the history of the Premier League, Arsenal has an absolute advantage of 21 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses, and has 7 seasons to beat Manchester City, including 11 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses away......

Both sides are currently in the mainstream 4-2-3-1 formation in football, but Aguero, although nominally in midfield, should exist as a shadow striker in actual games.

Of course, there is another special figure in Manchester City's squad today: Gunners veteran Nasri.

Although the Frenchman only played for Arsenal for three years, it was in those three years that he made a qualitative leap and became a real football superstar, and he, along with Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie, were once regarded as the Gunners' hope of recovery.

It's a pity that things are wrong, and the three of them left the Emirates Stadium one after another, leaving Wenger alone in the arsenal, which has never changed......

Manchester City starters:

Goalkeepers: 30-Pantilimon;

Forward: 11-Lin Yun. ”

"Okay, the game is on, Man City serve first."

City opened the game by creating chances on the wings.

This team has a special style of play.

They have a low-key, world-class midfielder: David. Silva, but this gentleman prefers to play on the wing, and even has a novel name: wing forward.

It can be said that the biggest highlight of this game is in addition to the fighting style of Wenger and Pellegrini, the two handsome fighters, and the competition between Lin Yun and Aguero, the two golden boys. Silva and Luka Modric's battle of wits is also one of them.

Silva picked up the ball and deftly grazed Ramsey and played past Monreal with Sergio Aguero, cutting inside two steps into the box before swooping in on a cross.

Negredo scored his first goal of the game with a diving header, but the quality of the shot was not high and was blocked by Szczesny.

“…… Manchester City looked in pretty good form, opening the scoring and winning a corner. ”

Nasri walked to the corner flag area to the boos of the visiting fans and kicked the ball away.

Yaya. Toure pressed Mertesacker's header just wide.

Arsene Wenger on the sidelines frowned.

With two goals in a row, Arsenal's first impression is that the air defense is close to none......

This attack was just a microcosm, and in the first 10 minutes of the game, Manchester City were almost all on the wing, but fortunately, Arsenal persevered, stabilized their position and gradually launched a counterattack.

Lin Yun was heavily defended by Kompany, and successfully pinned down Fernandinho and created opportunities for his teammates.

Walcott crossed in succession, but Wilshere's header and Ramsey's cold shot went wide.

"In just ten minutes, the two sides have completed many shots on goal, maybe there will be a goal shootout today...... It's another Manchester City corner! Or Nasri...... When it came to the front point, Mertesacker didn't touch the ball and Demichelis headed it over...... Aguero !! ”

The ball fell to the right of the six-yard box and Aguero deftly shook off Koscielny to volley into the falling ball.

Lin Yun, who was back on the defensive, immediately raised his foot to block, but he was still half a step late, and the football almost flew towards the goal with his spikes.

Szczesny didn't react and the ball went into the net.

“GOAL！！！！ In the 12th minute of the game, Sergio Aguero opened the scoring for Manchester City! This is Manchester City's 58th consecutive league home goal run since November 2010! That's a pretty scary statistic!

The Blues are currently fourth in the Premier League, but they have done a better job defending their home ground than any other team......

After the goal, Sergio Aguero ran to the sidelines, causing a wild cheer from the home fans.

Manchester City brought in a lot of strikers after they developed, but neither Balotelli nor Tevez succeeded here, only Sergio Aguero really integrated here, and the 9320 miracle in the 2011-2012 season made him a hero here.

It was the Argentine's 19th goal of the season and his eighth in his last seven home games, including 13 in the league, just five away from Lin Yun at the top of the table.

Lin Yun hasn't had a wonderful performance since the opening, it's time to respond......"

Lin Yun walked back silently, but Modric in front stopped and turned around to wait for him.

"Got an idea?"

"What can you think," Modric straightened his headband, "I'll pass you and shoot." ”

"Let's play more counter-attacks, they like to play on the wing, then we will play in the middle."

"That's what I mean, too."

"Then you still tell me that you don't have any ideas."

"I think you don't think you should know it, and that's exactly what happened."

“……”

In real history, Manchester City won 6-3 against Arsenal in this game, scoring an average of one goal every ten minutes, a fierce one-......
