Leon, who started his warm-up with his teammates at the Emirates Stadium smoothly, probably didn't expect it.

He just said hello to the reporters in a good mood, and it was directly written as news, which will also be on the hot search in English football.

Fortunately, he didn't choose a backhand when he was compared to "V" at that time, otherwise maybe the British media would dare to give him the hat of "discriminating against Arsenal".

In a way, journalists in England are more active than those in Spain.

No, the game hasn't started yet, and the British media is definitely the top level in Europe.

UEFA executives are now smiling when they look at the news.

Last night's two knockout matches between Juventus and Celtic, Paris Saint-Germain and Valencia were hotly discussed.

are far less hot than tonight's matchup between Real Madrid and Arsenal!

The British media's propaganda is not covered.

Regardless of whether Milan and Barcelona agree or not, they directly crowned Real Madrid's Arsenal battle with the title of the most exciting duel in the quarterfinals.

Aren't many people who eat melons just like to follow the trend and watch a gimmick?

Many netizens who followed the trend, whether they were fans or not, turned on the TV tonight and watched the live broadcast.

Before the game started, as soon as UEFA's live broadcast source was opened, the ratings data began to skyrocket!

The fans in Huaguo were also painful and excited to turn on the TV or computer at about 3 o'clock in the morning.

However, not all fans chose to watch the Champions League live on Channel 5, which they are most familiar with, tonight.

A considerable number of old Premier League fans chose to open the live broadcast room of Sina Sports and watch the Champions League games on their computers.

And their reasons for watching Sina Sports live broadcast are also very uniform.

Because there is Zhan Jun.

Since returning to China in September last year to join Sina Sports, Zhan Jun has been well-known by more and more domestic fans with his professional knowledge reserves and excellent commentary skills.

If you want to say that when you watched the game before, most domestic fans didn't have a choice, and there was no better free platform except for Wutai.

But now, with the gradual popularization of computers, some domestic fans naturally want to pursue a better audio-visual experience.

This is not to say that He Wei and Duan Xuan are not good enough, but Wutai often asks them to bring people.

It's not bad to bring a guide with you.

But as soon as they saw that it was Xu Yang who was partnering with Duan Xuan tonight, many fans who could watch the game on the computer were naturally more inclined to watch Zhan Jun and Xie Hui's partner's commentary.

The difference in the level of understanding of the ball, you can hear it at first.

In the Sina Sports studio late at night, with the start of the live broadcast, Zhan Jun and Xie Hui also made opening remarks to the fans in full spirit.

As the players began to play with the referee team, Zhan Jun did not hesitate to tell the fans about the recent results of the two teams to introduce the status of the two teams.

Arsenal have only drawn one of the last three league games against Liverpool, facing Stoke City and Sunderland, Arsenal have won relatively consistently, and the form of the whole team is rapidly improving.

Before the game, Arsenal's manager Arsene Wenger also said that he was still satisfied with the team's preparation and was confident that he could play an efficient offensive and defensive performance at home. ”

"Yes, as the second half of the Premier League season progresses, Arsenal's form is indeed improving visibly.

However, facing Real Madrid today, the psychological pressure of the Arsenal players should still be relatively large, I hope they can maintain a good mentality while playing a tactical style."

The two probably chatted about Arsenal's recent team form, and after a while, they quickly talked about Real Madrid and Leon.

At the beginning of January, at the end of the FIFA annual awards ceremony, the entire Chinese sports circle rejoiced that Li Ang had made it to the top 20 of the Ballon d'Or!

In fact, relying on Li Ang alone to shine, it is difficult to say that it is the overall progress of the entire Asian football.

But with such a record, for the whole of Chinese and Asian football, its inspiring significance is self-evident.

At least there is Lee Ang, the new banner of Asian players after Park Ji-sung.

All the true strugglers in football on this part of Asia will be more motivated.

Xie Hui is one of the doers who really wants to devote himself to football in a down-to-earth manner.

He is still studying in Germany and has recently returned to China to take a two-month break before returning to Germany to continue his coaching studies.

But as soon as he received the invitation of Sina Sports' commentator, he still commented on the game between Real Madrid and Arsenal, and he agreed without saying a word.

Recently, he is interested in learning more about Lee's previous youth experience and the process of honing his loan.

There is an opportunity to explain Li Ang's important game with a professional commentator like Zhan Jun, and he is also willing to accept it.

As for Real Madrid's current tactical style, they only talked about it superficially, otherwise it would be too much to talk about, and the fans may not be happy to listen.

However, in terms of talking about Real Madrid's recent results and boasting about Leon, they talked happily, and the fans listened very happily.

It wasn't until the players on both sides finished the opening ceremony and the captains of the two sides began to fight for the right to choose sides that Zhan Jun seized the time to explain the formation when the starters appeared in the live broadcast camera.

So on the Arsenal side, their starting line-up for today looks like this:

The goalkeeper is Poland's national gate Szczesny.

In the central defence position, Germany international Mertesacker will partner French centre-back Koscielny, with Vermaelen at left-back and Sagna at right-back.

In midfield were Arteta, Ramsey, Cazorla, Rosicky and Podolski!

The first starter up front was high school striker Olivier Giroud.

For Arsenal, they made a big change to the starting formation today, with the little tiger Theo Walcoat on the bench, perhaps Wenger wanted him to be a substitute wonder

”

"On Real Madrid's side, the goalkeeper who started today is still Casillas.

In central defence, the partnership of Ramos and Pepe is the absolute first choice for Mourinho, with left-back Coentrão and right-back Arbeloa.

At the half-point end, Xavi Alonso and Leon dragged behind, Modric played in central midfield, and Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria were flanked by Modric.

Up front, it was Benzema who rode forward alone.

There is not much starting adjustment on Real Madrid's side, and Mourinho's lineup today is still very stable. ”

After Zhan Jun's introduction, Xie Hui answered:

"Both teams chose to start the game with a 4231 starting line-up, but Cristiano Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria on the Real Madrid side can be positioned up front at any time, while Arsenal's midfield five should be more inclined to control the ball."

"Yes, Real Madrid should still pursue fast counterattacks and space pressing, which is also the offensive and defensive tactics that Real Madrid is best at now."

Leon in the field glanced at Cazorla, who was standing opposite him, and smiled subconsciously.

Cazorla looked at Leon and grinned, that is, in that smile, he saw a little kindness of an "old acquaintance", but also a little helplessness.

Last season in Villarreal and last season in Malaga, Cazorla and Leon have played each other four times in the last two years.

Three times in La Liga and once in the Copa del Rey.

These four encounters made Cazorla's impression of Leon extremely deep.

In fact, the two did not play against each other very often, after all, Cazorrado was active on the wing, and Leon's focus was on players playing in the middle.

But just Leon's flank pressure was hard to forget.

Anyway, Cazorla didn't expect him to transfer to Arsenal this season, and he could still compete with Real Madrid and Leon.

He could only say it in his heart.

It's damn fate!

With the referee's whistle, the Champions League battle started on time, and Zhan Jun's voice sounded at the right time.

"In the quarterfinals of the Champions League in the 12-13 season, the first leg of Real Madrid's match against Arsenal began! Coach Xie Hui and Zhan Jun will send you a live commentary on the game on Sina Sports Video!

The Real Madrid players wore dark blue away kits, while Arsenal wore the classic red and white home shirts! ”

Xie Hui saw that Real Madrid, who first launched an offensive temptation, was pushed forward by Li Ang with the ball, and the tone of the commentary subconsciously became high:

"Leon is now in control of the ball and trying to push forward, Cazorla is pressing over first to interfere with Leon's speed! Withstood Cazorla's interference and split the ball to the right! ”

Real Madrid did not play a long pass first, but Li Ang made a bold attempt to advance with the ball from his own half.

Cazorla didn't stop Leon at the first time, which surprised Arteta, who was dragging behind.

But at the moment when he pressed forward, Li Ang decisively divided the ball.

Arbeloa, who was inserted on the edge, rushed past Arsenal's right midfield defence almost without delay!

This made the Arsenal home fans, who had not yet sat on the hot buttocks, quickly bounce off their seats again!

As he was about to face Arsenal left-back Vermaelen, Arbeloa tapped the ball across.

Luka Modric, who followed up with the receiver, then split the ball down the middle, perfectly avoiding the defending traps of the returning Arteta and Koscielny.

And Leon, who had already run in place at the moment, also directly picked the football to the Arsenal penalty area.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who inserted diagonally into the Arsenal penalty area, was about to grab a little for the top, but he hit a "wall".

It was Mertesacker who was 1.98 meters tall and had a little scramble with Ronaldo on the front!

The German central defender's frontal interception ability is really outrageous, and Ronaldo can jump again, and this time he will not be able to face Mertesacker, who has stood in a defensive position.

Mertesacker took advantage of his height to push the ball back into midfield, but there wasn't much joy on his face.

He started yelling loudly, reminding his teammates that they had to get into the game at this time.

And Arsenal's midfielders, who were previously stunned by Real Madrid's opening fast attacking tactics, will also be in good spirits.

I really can't really appreciate the strength of Real Madrid today without playing against each other.

When watching the video of Real Madrid and Dortmund before, they did feel that the rhythm of both teams was very fast, and the tactical competition was also full.

But at the end of the day, it's just sitting in front of a screen and watching the recording.

The Arsenal players were vigilant, but they couldn't get a sense of how fast the pace of the two teams was.

Now they're finally getting it.

After I came to my senses, I only felt that my back was full of cold sweat!

The opening blitz didn't work, and the Real Madrid players certainly felt a pity, but the speed at which they returned to the defense was not slow at all.

Li Ang waited for Ronaldo a little when he retreated, and the two did not have much direct verbal exchange.

Leon looked at Mertesacker, then at Ronaldo, Ronaldo pursed his lips and shook his head, and Leon made a "three" gesture.

After getting the nod of Ronaldo's approval, Leon had no problem, turned his head and returned to his own half, and had a brief exchange with Modric in the middle.

This scene made many commentators and fans in front of the TV interested.

The communication between the two is simple and tacit, and it seems that there is a tactical plan.

If Ronaldo grabbed the point faster than Mertesacker's grabbing the position, would Li Ang communicate with Ronaldo and use the "No. 1" or "No. 2" offensive tactics?

Xie Hui looked at Mourinho, who was standing straight at the moment in the live broadcast camera, and his tone was full of interest.

"Mu Shuai looks very well prepared today! In terms of offensive tactics alone, I feel that there are more than three sets! ”

As soon as his words fell, Arsenal organized a counter-attack in the midfield, but Real Madrid's midfield defense was already fully built.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria followed up and returned to the halfway line, holding the wings, while Luka Modric and Benzema interfered with Arsenal's ball carriers.

Leon and Alonso will be in front of each other.

Real Madrid's players are very solid in their defensive positions and are very skilled in cooperating with each other.

When Arsenal's midfielders were in possession of the ball, Real Madrid had no intention of pressing forward to grab the ball, which forced Arsenal to invest more troops in the attacking end.

But at the moment when it took four or five minutes for Arsenal to finally break into the hinterland of Real Madrid's half, Li Ang moved!

When Modric was chasing Cazorla, Leon also pressed and cooperated with Modric to make a bag clip.

Cazorla quickly distributed the ball to Rosicky in front of his right at this time, and Leon also dropped Cazorla directly, turned his head and ran to Rosicky!

Ramsey, who had only just crossed the halfway line at this moment, saw Leon's return run clearly.

His first reaction was "Hurry!" ”

This does not refer to Leon's absolute speed, but to Leon's explosive acceleration!

In terms of absolute speed, then Arsenal's Podolski who started today was much faster than Leon.

But compared to the acceleration of the explosion, Ramsey felt that Prince Porti couldn't even compare to Leon!

Rosicky was still watching the movement of Podolski on the left and Giroud up front, but before he could send a pass, a powerful force came from his side!

The ball was lost first, and then the whole person's position was squeezed away!

Rosicky was defenseless, and just stumbled and fell on the turf!

And in his surprised lookback, he could only see the back of a dark blue No. 10 who led the ball away!

"Leon——! What a ball! Leon's beautiful catch-up steal! Rosicky was still careless, he couldn't think about it for so long when Leon was chasing back. Leon has the ball again! Luka Modric! ”

In Zhan Jun's high-pitched commentary, another quick counterattack by Real Madrid has begun.

After Modric received the ball from the back of Li Ang, he chose to boldly continue to insert while the speed of Arsenal's full defense had not yet been pulled up!

In fact, he likes the thrill of attacking feeling.

And against Arsenal, it also made him more eager to attack.

Even if the teammate in front of him on the left is no longer the lightning-fast Bale, the overall counterattack speed of Real Madrid is much faster than Tottenham!

In just two or three seconds, almost all Real Madrid players around Modric responded!

That meant he had more passes and options, but Modric wasn't quick to deliver the ball as a threat.

He started to run from the side, forcing Arteta to move closer to him.

And at this time, in front of him, Ronaldo, who has been targeted by Sania and Mertesacker again, seems to be no longer threatening.

But just when all the Arsenal fans were almost relieved, Modric passed the ball!

In the middle of Arsenal, Leon who was leading again and inserted himself became the focus of the whole game at the moment!

Without Arteta in the middle, Cazorla and Ramsey are still desperately chasing back from a metre away from Leon!

No one in the Arsenal midfielder can stop Leon from facing the penalty area!

A choice question is placed in front of the Arsenal defenders, press out, intercept Leon's dribble, or continue to retreat, betting that Leon will not be able to handle this attacking opportunity on his own?

Mertesacker stared at Ronaldo and gritted his teeth and chose not to go out.

But Koscielny watched Leon adjust his starting point outside the penalty area and seemed to be about to shoot from distance, but he couldn't be as ruthless as his partner.

Koscielny left the penalty area, and Leon's right foot, which looked like he was about to drop a hit, changed his shot to a push, pushing the ball into the right side of Arsenal's slightly empty penalty area!

Vermaelen was pinned down by Benzema's movement and couldn't get back to his zone at the first time.

Di Maria smoothly led the ball diagonally, and in the next moment, he directly chose to shoot with his left foot!

With little to no marking, the quality of Di Maria's scuffs was quite high.

Even if Szczesny pounced into the far corner at the first time, Di Maria's shot was too close to the goal and the angle was too tricky!

The Polish international didn't touch the football, and he knew very well that he hadn't even been able to rub the ball skin against it.

This feeling made him very powerless!

And his first reaction at this meeting was not to lose the goal, but the time of the game!

"Will this be six minutes into the game?"

Perhaps in response to Szczesny's inner question, the Sky Sports commentator exclaimed the moment he saw the football enter the net!

"The sixth minute of the first half! Oh, God! Just six minutes into the game, Real Madrid broke through the door of Arsenal! And this was their second blitzkrieg attempt of the game!! ”

Surprised and disappointed, the British Sky Sports commentators could only hide their emotions with exclamations.

But in the Sina Sports studio at this moment, Zhan Jun and Xie Hui began to chant excitedly without any disguise!

"Leon assists Di Maria to break through the Arsenal goal! Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema are bait in this attack! Modric points in time, Leon is beautiful! Arsenal's backline was deceived by Real Madrid! ”

"Don't afford a high ball, go to the ground for a quick counterattack, even Ronaldo is a tactical bait! Mertesacker may not have thought that this was Real Madrid's 'No. 3 tactic'! Look how happy Cristiano Ronaldo is smiling! ”

The two almost stood in line in the studio to celebrate.

At this moment, on the field, Li Ang was already laughing and celebrating with his teammates!

They were a little bit unexpectant to come so early.

Arsenal are looking for a central control and attacking penetration tactic today.

This style of play is actually not bad, and the current technical teams, such as Manchester City and Barcelona, can actually play Arsenal.

After all, in terms of technique, Arsenal's midfield is absolutely top-notch.

If you fight for possession, they won't be vain.

But there is one problem in the current Arsenal midfield that is too serious.

Perhaps it was last season's results that made the professor not have much sense of crisis, and he did not make targeted transfer reinforcements in the summer window last year and this winter window.

Arsenal's waist is still not hard enough!

Arteta can be a metronome, a transmission, but definitely not a meat grinder.

Even if his defense looks good right now, he's still not a defensive beast.

And to play this kind of technical team with lineup defects, Real Madrid can't be better!

At the beginning, the Real Madrid players were indeed ready to stay a little longer.

But after testing the defensive intensity of Arsenal's midfield, they no longer hesitated.

Rush through the middle and tear the defense line and you're done!

Mourinho also smiled at this time, standing on the sidelines and applauding with satisfaction.

While applauding, Mu Shuai also recited words.

"That's right, play Arsenal's middle, play Arsenal's middle today!"

This will finally make up for today's 10,000-word update.

Alas, the foodie quarreled with the old father who came to the city today for a night.

It can only be said that the heart is haggard.

There are too many places to say that you can't go together.

This will send the old father away at the station, and finish the last word.

When I was in the provincial capital before, I felt very tired because of work.

But now that I have returned to the county, it is not easy for foodies to find out because of family matters.

Borrow some money next month and give the down payment for the house first.

Foodies can't convince their parents, and now they can only follow their ideas.

In fact, foodies are not too old, but in the mouths of their parents, it seems that they have reached the age where they must start a family.

Alas, this will sit in the station, the mood is very complicated, and there is some nagging, and I hope the big guys will not blame it.
