The Stade Louis II hadn't been so lively for a long time, and the game was still more than an hour away, and the stadium was already packed.

Not only that, but the outside of the stadium was also crowded with fans who came to watch the game, and many fans who did not have tickets held up signs begging for tickets with heavy money, hoping for the last chance.

Two Monaco fans arrived late, a father and son, a father in his 50s and a son in his early 20s, who were ready to enter the stadium with their tickets in their hands.

The son looked at the crowd outside the stadium and was a little surprised: "Why is Monaco so lively today?" ”

My father replied, "Because there are so many people watching the game today." ”

"That's not right, Monaco won the championship twice a while ago, and the stadium was also full, and those two times were not as lively as today. You look at the outside of the stadium and it's full of people. The son looked around and said in surprise.

The father whispered: "Because the other day it was all Monaco fans, but today it wasn't. A lot of the fans today are not necessarily Monaco supporters, but they are Ligue 1 fans. After all, Monaco is now the only seedling in Ligue 1 in the Champions League, although the competition within Ligue 1 is fierce, but in the Champions League, Ligue 1 fans still hope that their team can achieve better results. ”

"Oh, I see." The son nodded, "Then let's hurry in, it is estimated that the players have already warmed up in the field." ”

"Well, let's go."

Because of their home position, Monaco had everything in advance and they were warming up on the pitch.

Soon, the Arsenal boss also ran out of the players' tunnel.

Yun Sheng was not familiar with others, and his most familiar face was still his proud disciple.

When Chen Tao ran out of the player's tunnel, he saw Yun Sheng at a glance.

Chen Tao doesn't know how many times he has run out of this familiar player tunnel, but it is really a special taste to run out of here as Monaco's opponent today.

Chen Tao stood in front of Yun Sheng and bowed respectfully: "Boss." ”

Yun Sheng didn't see anything else, and stretched out his hand to hug his proud disciple: "Xiao Chen, I heard that you were injured, and you were all removed from the starting list, is it serious?" ”

"Boss, I'm fine, it's just a slight strain in my arm, I was supposed to start this game, but the professor wanted to protect me, so he let me rest on the bench."

"Arsenal have a busy schedule and he's worried about you getting hurt. I'm glad you didn't start, hahaha. ”

"Boss, why are you as ...... as Dong Zhuo's tone?"

"Go up and warm up, don't talk to me for too long, Wenger is looking at me, I guess he's jealous."

Driving Chen Tao away, Yunsheng walked towards Wenger.

Wenger smiled: "Yunsheng, it seems that no matter how good I am to Chen Tao, in his heart, your status is still the highest." ”

Yun Sheng also smiled and said, "Professor, don't say that, Chen Tao also told me just now that the reason why you asked him to substitute is to protect him." ”

"yes, I didn't expect him to be injured before the game, but fortunately it's not a big problem, otherwise I would have been depressed."

"Chen Tao didn't start in this game, and I feel much more at ease."

"Oh? Do you really think so? You must know that Chen Tao has already told me about the situation of the Monaco players, even if he is not on the field, we are sure of winning. By the way, you wouldn't blame him if I said that, would you? ”

'It doesn't matter, he's an Arsenal player now, he deserves it and it's in line with the ethics of a footballer. But then again, if I had known that the Champions League would be against you, I would probably have considered whether to let Chen Tao join the Gunners. ”

"Hahaha, anyway, people have already come, and it's too late for you to regret it. However, I couldn't buy Dong Fangzhuo with Arsenal last year, which is a bit of a pity. Dong Fangzhuo's performance is getting better and better this season, even if he wants to leave next season, it is estimated that the price of 10 million will not be able to buy it. ”

"Hehe, Dong Fangzhuo said, he doesn't want to join Manchester United's opponents, it seems unlikely that he will wear the Gunners jersey. If I leave Monaco one day, Dong Fangzhuo will be poached by Manchester United. ”

"Alas, this is really bad news, I hope Manchester United are not interested in Dong Fangzhuo."

Yunsheng and Wenger chatted a few words, and neither said anything about the game, as if today was not an important Champions League knockout match, but an ordinary friendly match.

Players from both sides warmed up on the field, the coaches of the two teams made final preparations on the sidelines, and in the live broadcast room, Alphonse was introducing the starting line-ups of both sides for the game: "Monaco still lined up in a 4-3-3 formation today: goalkeeper Hildebrand, Heinze, Kompany, Ujfarusi and Son Jihai in the back to right, Flamini, Beckham and Ljungberg in the back to front, and Gudjohnsen, Recoba and Saviola in the forwards. ”

"Monaco had several injured players back in the starting line-up and they were all in the squad today. On the bench, there are also players such as Wang Chuhe, Dong Fangzhuo, and Senderos, all of whom have been in excellent form in the league recently. ”

'Arsenal also had a strong squad today, with their standard 4-4-2 formation in goal: Spaniard Almunia in goal, Klich, Silvestre, Vermaelen and Sagna in left to right in rear, Nasri, Rosicky, Cesc Fabregas and Arshavin in midfield from left to right, and Van Persie and Theo Walcoat in attack.

'Arsenal have been in good form of late, they are currently third in the league, six points clear of Chelsea at the top of the table, and their hopes of winning the league title have not been dashed. And in the FA Cup, they also reached the semi-finals. Coupled with the Champions League competition, Arsenal now has the possibility of competing for the title on three fronts. ”

As soon as Alphonse finished speaking, Octave next to him didn't like to listen: "I don't agree! Arsenal is competing for the title on two fronts at most, and their Champions League dream can be shattered in advance! With Monaco's invincibility all season, Arsenal will definitely not reach the last four of the Champions League! ”

Alphonse: "Man, you're so optimistic about Monaco?" ”

Octave snorted, "Of course! I'm especially optimistic about them! Because they are now the pride of Ligue 1! To win the first half of Ligue 1 and win the Ligue 1 title 10 rounds ahead of schedule, Monaco is one of the strongest teams in European football right now! ”

"Some people also say that Monaco has not faced a real strong team, so they can only win Ligue 1! Look at these boys! In this game, Monaco will use Arsenal as a straw man, beat them up, and let everyone see what is the king of Monaco and what is the real strength of the Ligue 1 giants! ”
