On the evening of April 18, the Juventus Arena was full of people, although there was still more than an hour before the start of the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, the stadium was already full of people, and countless fans with tickets excitedly entered through the ticket gate, and next to the ticket gate, a stadium security guard was negotiating with two fans.

"Guys, what you have in your hands is definitely a fake, no doubt." The security guard swore and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you two tickets should have been bought in the square, right?" ”

The two fans nodded and said in a very characteristic Milanese accent: "Yes, we made a special trip from Milan to watch the game, but we haven't bought a ticket, so I thought if we could try our luck and pick up the leak, but we were cheat......ed."

The two out-of-town fans looked bitter.

The Juventus security guard shrugged: "Guys, as soon as I heard your accent, I knew that it was an out-of-towner, and he was not a die-hard Juventus fan." You must know that we at Juventus have not played in the semi-finals of the Champions League for a long time, and finally have this opportunity, if he is willing to sell his tickets, then he is definitely not a Juventus fan! Absolute! ”

"So what are we going to do? It's all here, I can't go back to the hotel to watch live TV, that's too tragic......"

"You can go to the east side of the square, where there is a big screen that broadcasts live, and every Juventus game there are a lot of people watching there, which is much better than watching TV in a hotel."

"Okay, thank you."

The two out-of-town fans were just about to leave, and the security guard asked curiously: "You are from Milan City, which team are you fans?" ”

A burly fan was amused: "Are we still Inter fans?" They are mortal enemies with you! ”

Another fan explained: "We are AC Milan fans and we came to watch this game. ”

The security guard was still a little curious: "You guys came to see Juventus?" ”

'No, no, no, we're here to see Arsenal. Since Zheng Zhi joined Milan, we are all Chinese fans, and we are here to support Chen Tao and Wang Chuhe today," the two fans walked into the distance, shouting "Long live Arsenal" as they walked.

The security guard looked at them with a complicated expression.

These two fools cheer for Arsenal so loudly, they won't be beaten for a while......

At this time in the stadium, the players of both teams have entered the stadium and started to warm up.

Yunsheng and Wenger greeted each other cordially on the sidelines.

"Professor, you're playing all the best in this game, don't you want the league?"

"Anyway, the fourth place is stable, and there is no play in winning the championship, so naturally we have to focus on this game. On the contrary, it is you, many main players are absent, and we have a better chance of winning this game. ”

"Professor, don't worry, Juventus has enough depth on the bench, even if someone is injured, it will not affect the overall strength."

"Robin's injury isn't serious, is it?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I had a little sprain in training the day before yesterday and I can't play this game, but I will definitely go to the Emirates Stadium in a few days."

'That's good, I don't want him to be across from Arsenal, but I still hope he recovers as soon as possible.'

"You are really a kind teacher, you are really good to Robin, I am really glad that Chen Tao and Wang Chuhe can play under you."

"What do you say, those two boys are still thinking about your goodness, and it is estimated that in the hearts of the two of them, no matter how good I am to them, I can only be the second in their hearts."

"Haha, professor, you are full of peach and plum, how can I compare with you."

The two were chatting on the sidelines of the pitch as Di Livio and Vieri in the live broadcast room introduced their starting lists.

"Arsenal lined up a 4-3-1-2 formation today: goalkeeper Szczesny, Gibbs, Koscielny, Vermaelen and Sagna at the back from left to right, Alexander Song, Wang Chuhe and Rosicky in midfield, Chen Tao in the shadow striker, and Gervinho and Theo Walcott in the strikers. Also sitting on the bench are Arshavin, Arteta, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Fabianski and other powerful stars. ”

"In recent games, Arsene Wenger has tried to move Chen Tao to a more dangerous shadow forward position, closer to the goal, and be able to better play his shooting ability. And today Arsenal played with all the main players, the previous injuries have all recovered to health, and there are many powerful stars on the bench, so Arsenal is very well prepared for this game. ”

"Today Juventus are in a 4-3-2-1 formation: goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, defenders from left to right Chiellini, Barzagli, Bonucci and Lichtsteiner, three midfielders from left to right: Diego, Ballack and Ronaldo, two shadow strikers Piero and Raul, and central striker Trezeguet."

"Compared to Arsenal, who are strong and strong, Juventus are very short today. Although the number of vacancies is small, they are all very important and indispensable positions. Andrea Pirlo, who was injured in the league, was unavailable for this game, so Yunsheng adjusted the team's midfield combination. Ballack will definitely be in the main defence, and Diego and Ronaldo will take on the responsibility of Pirlo's playmaking. But then again, while the two Brazilian talents are very capable, they can't compare to Andrea Pirlo when it comes to the effectiveness of the midfield metronome. ”

And up front, Robin van Persie started in training two days ago and was also unavailable for this game, with veteran Trezeguet getting a start. But this is just a helpless move. This season, Trezeguet's physical condition has declined severely, especially in terms of speed and strength, which are not as good as before. What's more, Trezeguet started the whole game in the league last weekend, and he wasn't in very good shape today! Yunsheng originally planned to let Trezeguet rest this game, so he was relieved to let him consume his physical strength in the league, but Van Persie's injury disrupted Yunsheng's arrangement. ”

"Although Juventus relied on the power of the home stadium today, they lacked key players in both important positions, and they were unlucky in this game."

At this point, the pre-match warm-up was over, and the players went into the dressing room to make final preparations.

In the visiting dressing room, Arsene Wenger has the same view as Vieri and believes that Arsenal have a good chance of winning this game!

'Juventus had a bad day and several important players in their squad were out due to injury, so this is a great opportunity for us!'

"Without Robin van Persie, Juventus don't have the sharpest teeth! Without Pirlo, Juventus would be an empty shell without a soul! ”

"Boys, we're going to win this game! Come on, with a win, with enough goal difference, we'll go back to London together in 90 minutes with our heads held high! ”
