Chapter 244: Classics Reappear, Ballet on the Grass!

At the Maddejski Stadium in Reading, the Arsenal players felt as if they were back at home, although they knew that the enthusiasm of the fans was for Lin Yun, but I don't know if it was because of Aiwu and Wu, they didn't feel any hostility here.

Not only the fans, but also the players were friendly, which made the Arsenal players who were accustomed to Reading's rough style a little uncomfortable, so that after the game started, the movements of both sides seemed quite gentle, and it looked more friendly than a friendly match.

After this game, Arsenal will return to their home stadium to accept the challenge of Juventus and Chelsea, the former is related to Champions League qualification, the latter is related to the league title, but because of the large lead over Juventus in the first leg, Wenger still fielded a semi-main squad for this game against Reading.

Lin Yun led the game, Sanchez, Arteta, Rosicky, Ramsey and others played, which can be said to have given Reading and the FA Cup a lot of face.

In the 8th minute of the game, Lin Yun received Tazige's middle through plug and scored the ball in a row after three people scored the first goal for Arsenal.

In the 17th minute of the game, Rosicky was tripped on the right side of the penalty area, Arsenal got a free kick opportunity, and Lin Yun kicked a full moon scimitar to expand the score to 0-2.

Three minutes later, Alexis Sanchez picked up a cross from the left and Lin Yun volleyed in to complete the hat-trick.

The Reading fans applauded him at first, but soon fell silent.

A very complicated, sour and astringent emotion spread in the stands, so that Lin Yun's relatives and friends in it had to close their mouths and watch him perform quietly.

Lin Yun did not celebrate after scoring the goal, but just accepted the congratulations of his teammates with a smile.

The strength of the two sides is not on the same level, Reading lost the advantage of home again, the game lost suspense early, in the 60th minute of the game, when Lin Yun was replaced by Giroud, the score has become 0-5.

Lin Yun scored a hat-trick and an assist, slaughtered in front of the hometown fans, and finally walked to the bench amid warm applause and a call of "Lin, go home".

Elsewhere, Aston Villa won a surprise 2-1 win over Liverpool to form Arsenal's FA Cup final opponents, with the two set to face off on 31 May.

Back at the Emirates Stadium, Juventus attacked.

The Serie A giants, who were four goals behind in the first leg, played quite boldly, and Arsenal did not coerce, and the two sides played attacking football, but they failed to score the first goal until the 70th minute of the game.

Until Lin Yun came into play, he shot and passed in 20 minutes, helping the team easily get the opponent, and advanced to the Champions League semifinals 6-0 in two legs.

The results of the other three groups of matchups have also been released, with Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid joining hands to advance to the Champions League semi-finals this season with Arsenal.

These four teams can be said to be a grudge game no matter how they are grouped.

Bayern and Barcelona, Barcelona and Real Madrid, Real Madrid and Arsenal, Arsenal and Bayern......

This kind of semi-final lineup seems to be deliberately arranged no matter who draws whom, and it is simply a hotbed of conspiracy theories.

In terms of strength, these four teams basically represent the highest level of European football today, and if you want to rank a list of the top 100 superstars in active football, then the main players of these four teams can basically be ranked in the top 50.

UEFA has earned enough eyeballs this time, and major media have also made efforts to warm up.

"The four finalists are all former champions, and they have won the Big Ears Cup a total of 21 times.

La Liga, which occupies half of the Champions League, once again showed its advantage at the top of the UEFA standings, and it is not clear whether La Liga would have taken three places in the last four if it were not for the Madrid duo meeting too early.

Bayern Munich and Arsenal are representatives of the Bundesliga and the Premier League respectively, and both have had direct talks in the past two seasons, and Arsenal have become the final winners, I wonder if this time will meet again, let us look forward to ......"

"In the history of the Champions League, all four teams have played each other and have won and lost each other, but if you look back to three seasons, you can see that Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are all defeated by Arsenal.

Some say it's the best semi-finals of all time, but the reality is that none of the other three teams want to meet Arsenal too soon.

In the past two seasons, whether it is the group stage, the quarter-finals, the semi-finals or the final, all three teams have been the losers after meeting Arsenal, and it is not surprising that Arsenal is the top of the odds offered by the major spinach companies. ”

"The battle for the ball between Lin Yun, Messi and Ronaldo has come to a white-hot stage, and no matter who leads the team to win the championship, the three can basically book next year's Ballon d'Or in advance......"

A poll was conducted by the newspaper Marca and the attitude of the Spanish fans was very clear that the last thing they wanted was for the semi-final to be staged in a national derby.

Real Madrid fans want to draw Bayern the most, with 60.4% of fans wanting to see Arsenal and Barcelona dog-eat-dog.

25.2% of fans chose to draw Barcelona, and only 14.4% wanted to meet Arsenal.

Barcelona and Bayern fans reacted similarly, wanting to avoid Arsenal first, but Guardiola said that he did not want to draw Barcelona, while Barcelona fans were eager to avenge the revenge of the past seven joys......

Arsenal's attitude is much simpler, from the manager to the players, they all used the same version of the language in interviews, "Our biggest enemy is ourselves", "We never choose opponents", "We don't care about the draw results" and so on, quite a cool bully.

In the midst of all expectations, the semi-final draw ceremony was finally held in Nyon, Switzerland as scheduled.

"It's open, it's open, I'm betting on five cents, Real Madrid beats Barcelona, Nana beats Bayern!"

"Still Real Madrid beating Barcelona? I'm tired of watching! Let's have something fresh. ”

"Hehe, according to Platini's theory of European balance, one of Real Madrid and Barcelona must be pushed down in advance, and the other will be guaranteed to enter the final...... Ouch? ”

"Damn, there's something on Guagua's expression."

According to the rules, there are no seeded teams in the semi-final draw, and teams from the same national football federation do not need to shy away, and the team drawn first will be at home in the first leg.

The draw began, with Barcelona being drawn first, after which their opponents were drawn.

"Bayern Munich!! In this way, the remaining group of matchups is Arsenal vs. Real Madrid......"

'Congratulations to Pep Guardiola, he will get two home treatments, which should be good news for Bayern, after all, they will face the team that their manager knows best, and they have the absolute upper hand in terms of head-to-head record.

"Ancelotti's face isn't very good-looking...... Well, Arsene Wenger is much more normal......"

"Before the draw.

Real Madrid: Let Barcelona go and play Nana!

Bayern: Let Real Madrid fight Nana!

Barcelona: Let Bayern fight Nana!

Arsenal: Why don't you go together?

After the draw.

Bayern: Hahaha!

Barcelona: Holy!

Real Madrid: I draft horses!

Arsenal: Huh. ”

"Messi is ready to repay Guardiola for nurturing him with goals."

"Imagine Guagua standing at the Camp Nou as the coach of the visiting team, the picture is too beautiful......"

"Guess who has more possession on either side?"

"Real Madrid: You play slowly, I'll come back next year."

"There will be no drama next year, let's wait for the year after tomorrow."

"Hehe, next year, I will smash Lin Yun with money, and see who has no fun."

In front of the TV, the Arsenal players who were watching the live broadcast did not really care who their opponent was, but when they learned that the opponent was Real Madrid, everyone's reaction was indeed relatively flat.

One thing to say, for Arsenal, the three opponents are actually almost the same, but compared to the pass-and-control style of Barcelona and Bayern, it is indeed more refreshing to play a team like Real Madrid.

Real Madrid fans, on the other hand, are hoping that their former boss will cause some problems for Arsenal.

Because Arsenal is about to meet Chelsea in the league, if they can win, the Gunners will win the title five rounds ahead of schedule, and they will be able to put all their energy into the Champions League, which is undoubtedly not "fair" to Real Madrid, who are still fighting Barcelona in the league.

At the pre-match press conference, Mourinho also confidently said that Chelsea is still on the road to competing for the league title, and the result of Arsenal's three-line battle is likely to be a loss on all three lines.

"That's not an easy opponent to deal with......"

Arsene Wenger naturally scoffed and immediately countered with Chelsea'......s early exit from the Champions League, "Of course, none of the opponents in the Champions League are easy to deal with."

The implication is that opponents in the league are much easier to deal with.

Don't speculate, see you on the field.

At 16:00 local time on April 26, all eyes of England were focused on the Emirates Stadium.

"It is currently the 33rd round of the league, Arsenal has won 27 games, drawn 2 and lost 3 in the previous 32 games, accumulating 83 points; Chelsea have 21 wins, six draws, five defeats, and 69 points.

As long as Arsenal can get three points in this game, they will win the title with 86 points, because even if Chelsea win all five league games in the final five, the final point is only 84......

'Arsenal are at full strength, Chelsea centre-forward Didier Drogba is on the bench, Willian and Ramires rotate and Cesc Fabregas is back at the Emirates Stadium ......'

The audience observed a minute of silence on the 30th anniversary of the Bradford Stadium fire before the game officially began.

Arsenal line-up 4-2-3-1.

Goalkeepers: 13 - Ospina;

Defender: 3-Luke. Shaw, 4-Mertesacker, 6-Koscielny, 18-Monreal;

Midfielders: 7-Kante, 10-Wilshere;

Midfielders: 14-Walcott, 20-Modric, 17-Sanchez;

Forward: 9-Lin Yun.

Chelsea are in the same formation.

Goalkeepers: 13-Courtois;

Defenders: 2 Ivanovic, 24 Cahill, 26 Terry, 28 Azpilicueta;

Midfielders: 4 - Cesc Fabregas, 21 - Matic;

Midfielders: 7 Ramires, 22 Willian, 10 Hazard;

Forward: 8 - Oscar.

"Well, with the referee's whistle, the Great London derby finally ...... Lin Yun passed Walcott, fast forward! Passed! It's time to pass it back! ”

Arsenal kicked off first, and as soon as the game began, Walcott and Lin Yun used their speed to give Chelsea a dismount.

Walcoat received a pass from Lin Yun and slipped past Ramirez on the flank, and crossed the ball back to Lin Yun before Ivanovic came up to block it.

Lin Yun didn't stop the ball and went straight forward, and the ball passed over Cesc Fabregas, which immediately caused cheers on the sidelines.

A number of Chelsea players immediately swarmed up.

Cahill, Terry, and Azpilicueta in the backline, Nemanja Matic on the back line, and Willian and Hazard in the front court, surrounded Lin Yun in a hurry.

Lin Yun was one with the ball, dodging left and right among the ten thousand troops, and magically killed a bloody way, and hit a shocking heavy cannon thirty meters away from the goal.

Courtois struggled to make a save, but the ball flew past his fingertips and slammed into the crossbar.

"Bang!"

"Hoo ......"

"Oh, Shet!"

"What a pity!"

Lin Yun also spread out his palms, made a gesture of regret, and then turned away like a nobody, leaving a group of Blue Army soldiers messy in the wind.

Terry also deliberately counted, one, two, three, four, five, six...... There were six people who came to besiege him, and even let him finish a shot that he almost missed.

If it weren't for the help of the goalposts......

Mourinho, who was on the sidelines, looked at this scene with a gloomy face.

In fact, everyone knows that even if Chelsea gets three points in this game, they are destined to miss the championship, and at most it will make Wenger more disgusted, but he just wants to win.

I want to win Arsenal, I want to win Wenger, I want to win Linyun.

Even if it's just once......

John Terry was shocked and gave his voice to boost morale and refresh the Chelsea players.

Courtois took the goal kick and the game continued.

Fabregas, who returned to the Emirates Stadium, was booed by the home fans every time he got the ball, which became another special sight on the field, but the Spaniard did not seem to be affected, playing very consistently, and had a wonderful performance in the fifth minute of the game.

“…… Cesc Fabregas straight stopper! The ball is over! Oscar gets the ball...... Well? Fell? ”

Oscar picked up the ball on the left edge of the box and was replaced by Luke. Shaw tripped and fell to the ground, but referee Oliver didn't give any penalty.

Mourinho immediately did not calm down, and immediately ran to the fourth official to protest, but only the back of his head was saved.

Chelsea were quick to return the favor with their humanity, with Branislav Ivanovic fouling Sanchez twice in quick succession on the flank, and Oliver also failing to react.

At this point, everyone basically knew the scale of the game, but Wenger and Lin Yun still protested, but the result was still useless.

In the 15th minute of the game, Wilshere was tripped by Azpilicuere, and the referee did not judge; In the 17th minute, Monreal also escaped punishment by hitting the opponent in the face when he fouled Hazard......

"Damn, is this referee an ornament?"

"This is to encourage everyone to get on the body!"

"That's it, him, him!"

At the instigation of the referee, the players on both sides moved more and more.

In the 20th minute, Lin Yun received the ball from the Magic Flute and went straight to the penalty area, Walcott successfully countered offside and burst into the ribs of the penalty area, but was knocked down by Courtois, who attacked, and the referee still did not make a penalty.

A minute later, Cesc Fabregas went down as he broke through N'Golo Kante in the top left corner of the penalty area.

There was immediate jubilation in the Chelsea dugout and on the bench, but to their chase, the referee awarded a yellow card, but it was Cesc Fabregas.

“…… Oliver sentenced Fabregas to fake a fall!! ”

'The referee was the absolute protagonist on the pitch, so let's look at the replay, oh, there was nothing wrong with the decision, N'Golo Kante didn't touch Cesc Fabre......gas at all'

The home fans, who had just spat at the referee, erupted in thunderous applause, praising him for his strict enforcement, and then hurling boos to curse Fabregas.

Mourinho was so angry that he was so angry that he was going to die with the referee team with the explosives bag in his hand.

Ospina set the ball, reached out for his teammates to press forward, and then kicked the ball into the midfield.

Wilshere jumped high and pressed Matic to head the ball towards Modric.

Modric kicked the ball sideways and passed it to Lin Yun.

Lin Yun leaned his back against Terry, suddenly took a step forward, and gently picked the ball to the right back of his body with his left foot!

Bergkamp, graceful pause!

The ball arced out and went around the right side of Terry's body and landed behind the two.

Before Terry could understand what was happening, Lin Yun had already turned and ran past the left side of his body, catching up with the football.

All kinds of screams came from the stands, and the major commentators also let out bursts of exaggerated exclamations.

"Lin Yun has a ball on his back, paying tribute to Bergkamp!!"

"Terry has become the most gorgeous backdrop, Lin Yun dribbles the ball into the penalty area!"

"This action is so calm, too elegant! Cahill chased after him and Thibaut Courtois came out to intercept ......"
