Chapter 401 Great Achievements: Killing the 5 major league champions and winning the Champions Leagu

Chapter 401 Great Achievements: Killing the five major league champions and winning the Champions League for three consecutive years?

The 2017-2018 FA Cup semi-finals ended with two games, and Manchester United and Arsenal met in the final.

Although the final will not start at the new Wembley Stadium until the end of the Premier League this season, many media and fans know that the final result will not be a surprise.

Arsenal will have the last laugh and win the FA Cup five times!

Manchester United head coach Mourinho is very unhappy with such outside reports.

But he dared not directly attack these remarks.

In today's world football, the most dominant team is Arsenal.

The practice of bombarding the media in advance can easily be slapped in the face.

To be on the safe side, I still hold back my energy and turn my unhappiness into motivation.

What if we beat Arsenal in the FA Cup final?

With this idea in mind, Mourinho gradually shifted his attention back to the league.

The upset loss to West Bromwich Albion in the last round of the league was entirely to stay in the FA Cup semi-finals. Now that the FA Cup has reached the final, you can completely focus on the league to ensure that you can play in the Champions League group next season. race.

The 2017th round of the 2018-35 Premier League season has quietly arrived.

Arsenal and Liverpool both need to take into account the European competition next week, and they have reservations about their personnel.

But Arsenal with Martin playing is actually no different from all the main players.

Martin, who served as the captain and started the game, was in excellent condition and completed a perfect hat trick in the first and second half.

That is to say, he completed three goals with his head, left foot and right foot, leading the home team to a 4:1 victory over West Ham United.

Except for Arsenal, the Big6 teams took all three points. Manchester City and Manchester City both defeated their opponents respectively. Only Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool all drew with their opponents.

As a result, the European competition seats have become more stalemate.

After finishing the league, Arsenal quickly focused on visiting the Allianz Arena in Munich in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals to challenge Bayern Munich.

Bayern, like Arsenal, is extremely dominant in the league.

Winning the league five rounds ahead of schedule and reaching the final of the German Cup, they can compete with Arsenal for the season's treble.

The two rounds of the Champions League semi-finals have become particularly important.

Only by reaching the finals can you have a chance of achieving the Triple Crown.

Both Arsenal and Bayern Munich want to defeat each other in the semi-finals.

But in the past three seasons, Arsenal has defeated Bayern and has a dominant performance.

Every player has enough confidence, even if they are a guest at the Allianz Arena in Munich in the first round.

Heynckes, who has retired, replaced Ancelotti, who had lost control of the team, in October last year and has led the team very successfully this season.

Players and fans alike have great confidence in the team's ability to reach the Champions League final.

The first leg of the 2017-2018 Champions League semi-finals kicked off at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Tuesday night.

The entire Arsenal team took a flight to Munich at noon on Tuesday, went to the hotel to rest for a while, and then took the team bus that was brought in advance to the Allianz Arena in Munich.

The assistant coach took the players to the stadium to adapt to the venue first. Head coach Wenger and Martin attended the regular pre-match press conference and then went to the stadium to meet at the end.

Media reporters from Germany asked sharp questions, showing Bayern's data from various competitions this season.

Wenger, who attended the press conference, laughed: "We have won four games in a row against Bayern."

"Bayern is very dominant, aggressive offensively and solid defensively."

"Bild" reporter asked.

Wenger shrugged: "We scored 14 goals in four games against Bayern and only conceded two."

"Bayern Munich are unstoppable at home this season."

A reporter from the Munich Evening News asked.

This time it was not Wenger who answered, but Martin. He smiled and said: "I am in very good condition."

German media in the press conference hall of Munich's Allianz Arena: "..."

The British media reporters present smiled happily and cooperated with Wenger and Martin tacitly, which made the German reporters who were trying to bring disgrace to Arsenal feel quite depressed.

Bayern head coach Heynckes, who was interviewed by the media later, learned about Wenger and Martin's answers from reporters. He did not answer according to the reporter's deliberately created topic, but unexpectedly talked about the team's high morale. Absolute confidence in playing at home tomorrow night.

Coach Heynckes, who is about to turn 73, faced the media reporters and said confidently: "Everyone has worked hard for the two rounds of the Champions League semi-finals. I also believe that the players can perform at their best. It is undeniable. , the results of the past four games were not good, but we need to look forward positively, and the players and I believe that we can reap the same rewards if we put in the effort!"

The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals has not yet started, and fans of the two teams are engaged in fierce confrontations on social platforms.

Bayern fans use the overall record and winning percentage to make a point, while Arsenal fans advocate living in the present and using the record of the past three years to speak the most reasonable way.

But no one's supporters will listen to the opinions of the other party's supporters. They come up with favorable data for their side before the game just to make themselves feel better, so...

The trend of the topic is no different from that of a chicken talking to a duck.

At this sensitive time, "Football London" released the latest updates on its officially certified social account:

[Angrily kill the five major league champions and win the Champions League for three consecutive years? 】

This conjecture is very likely to be true.

In the 1/8 finals, they eliminated Juventus, who won the Serie A championship in advance this season. In the quarter-finals, they eliminated Paris Saint-Germain, which won the Ligue 1 championship in advance. In the semi-finals, they faced Bayern, which won the Bundesliga championship in advance...

In addition, Real Madrid's opponent in the Champions League semi-finals is Roma. It has a high probability of advancing to the Champions League final and is very close to the La Liga championship.

Arsenal fans immediately rallied and expressed their full support for Arsenal's great achievement of defeating the five major league champions and winning the Champions League.

……

At 8:45 that evening, the first game of the Champions League semi-finals started at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

There is not much suspense about the coach in this game.

Real Madrid's overall strength is much stronger than Roma.

At the end of the first half, the scoreboard showed 2:0.

The tricky home fans at the Bernabéu Stadium were in a very good mood and shouted hysterically.

In the fanatical home atmosphere, Real Madrid players led by Cristiano Ronaldo performed in excellent competitive condition.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Modric and Ramos scored consecutively, extending the score to 5:0.

Just when everyone thought Real Madrid had almost one foot in the finals, they didn't know whether the home team Real Madrid players were slacking off or the visiting team Roma players were regaining their form.

In the 81st minute, Dzeko scored a face-saving goal.

At the end of the game, Ramos made a mistake in the penalty area and kicked down Dzeko who had removed the ball early.

The referee on duty decisively blew the whistle for a foul and gave Roma a penalty kick.

Perotti, who took the penalty, hit the penalty, setting the final score at 5:2.

If other visiting teams score two away goals at the Bernabeu, there is a high probability that it will not affect Real Madrid's overall situation of advancing to the Champions League finals for three consecutive seasons.

但是做客伯纳乌球场的罗马不同，他们在1/4决赛的客场1：4惨败巴塞罗那，但是回到主场还了巴塞罗那一个干净利落的3：0，最终凭借客场进球数多的优势晋级本赛季欧冠半决赛。

The atmosphere at the Bernabeu Stadium became strange, and the Roma fans in the audience had mixed emotions, even though they beat Roma with three goals at home.

The Roma fans who traveled with the team were overjoyed. They did not feel sad about losing to Real Madrid by a big score as a guest. On the contrary, they were looking forward to it.

Obviously, they are thinking that the second leg of this season's Champions League semi-finals is likely to replicate the scene of eliminating Barcelona and advance to the final!

Many neutral fans also think of Roma's incredible and epic comeback against Barcelona.

Martin also paid attention to the Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Roma, but he believed that it was completely impossible for Roma to replicate the second leg of the quarter-finals.

After all, with Barcelona as a negative example, they will definitely be cautious when going to the Olympic Stadium in Rome in the second round.

The king of the Champions League, Cristiano Ronaldo, is in extraordinary form. It is entirely possible that he can help Real Madrid at least maintain the three goal difference advantages they have won at home by scoring goals.

……

At 6 pm the next day, the entire Arsenal team took the bus to the Allianz Arena in Munich.

"wuwuwuuuuu——"

Overwhelming boos swept the entire square outside the stadium.

Feeling the unfriendly sounds from Bayern fans, Martin looked at the Bayern fans with heavy faces through the glass window, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

He has been to this stadium many times.

From playing for Wolfsburg to Bayern's official opponent Arsenal in the Champions League, his record has been very dazzling, and his personal statistics are even more luxurious. He can easily detect the almost invisible tension in the expressions of Bayern fans.

As night approaches, the appearance of Munich's Allianz Arena also shows Bayern's main colors of red and white, which looks particularly dazzling.

At around 7 p.m., Martin and his teammates went to the court to warm up.

Arsenal fans who traveled with the team gave out loud and exciting cheers to cheer for their beloved team.

It's just that the Bayern fans just relied on their numerical advantage to boo, covering up the shouts of the Arsenal fans.

Arsenal players are also experienced in many battles and are used to big storms. They are also accustomed to the behavior of Renault fans.

It's nothing more than exerting psychological pressure~

Since the beginning of the 2015-2016 season, Arsenal has shown strong dominance in both the Champions League and the British arena, and has said goodbye to the symptoms of fear of anyone.

The old players who played for Bayern looked at Martin with fear in their eyes, and the new players also frowned, feeling pressure one after another.

An hour before the game, the starting lineups of the two teams appeared on the UEFA official website. The official formation given by the home team Bayern is 4141.

Goalkeeper: Neuer

Defenders: Bernat, Hummels, Boateng, Kimmich

Midfielder: Javi Martinez

Midfielder: Ribery, Thomas Muller, Tolisso, Robben

Forward: Lewandowski

……

Arsenal's 4231 formation remains unchanged for thousands of years.

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech

Defenders: Mendy, Van Dijk, Koscielny, Bellerin

Midfielder: Xhaka, Kante

Midfielder: Gnabry, Martin, Mahrez

Forward: Cavani

……

The starting lineups of players from both sides appeared, and senior fans also realized that the first leg of the Champions League semifinals between Bayern and Arsenal was about to start soon.

When fans saw Bayern field two veterans Ribery and Robben, they basically guessed the tactical intentions of coach Heynckes.

With Robery's tacit cooperation and experience, he launched a mercury-like continuous attack, and then used the fanatical atmosphere created by the home fans to continuously pull Arsenal's defense to see if he could create an absolute scoring opportunity for Lewandowski.

I have to say, these fans have really good thinking skills.

There is almost no difference from the core ideas of the tactics formulated by Heynckes before the game.

The Bayern players who returned to the home team's locker room did not bother to tidy up their personal appearance. They wiped off the sweat on their bodies, put on dry jerseys and went to head coach Heynckes.

Heynckes is very satisfied with the players' attitude.

……

Bayern fans at the Allianz Arena in Munich were in a very uneasy mood.

However, in order for the home team to defeat visiting Arsenal in this stadium, they have no choice but to use various methods to influence the performance of Arsenal players in this stadium.

As the Champions League theme song played throughout the Allianz Arena, players from both sides entered the stadium from the players' tunnel and went through the necessary pre-match procedures.

A close-up shot of the on-site director showed the visiting team coach directing the technical area.

As the host, Heynckes took the initiative to shake hands with Wenger.

Wenger obviously showed great respect for Heynckes and returned the favor with a big hug.

Under the watchful eyes of reporters from the mixed zone, they had a few words of conversation.

"You are really unforgiving. This first leg of the Champions League semi-finals may be the penultimate confrontation between the two in their coaching careers."

He Wei, the commentator of CCTV 5, looked at this scene and said with emotion: "If I want to see this scene again in the future, I'm afraid I won't have the chance."

The Dragon Kingdom fans watching the live game on the TV obviously heard the implication of the words.

The 73-year-old Heynckes made a comeback in October last year and will retire again at the end of this season.

Wenger also hinted at his retirement this summer at last year's FIFA Annual Awards Ceremony. There is a high probability that the two seniors, who combined are over 140 years old, will not question marks on the court as coaches again.

At this moment, not only the Dragon Kingdom fans in front of the TV were filled with emotion, but also fans all over the world.

……

"Beep~"

Referee Culpes blew his whistle.

"Dragon Kingdom TV, Dragon Kingdom TV, are now broadcasting for you the live broadcast of the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals of the 2017-2018 season between Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena and the defending champion Arsenal."

"The one wearing the red jersey and red shorts is the home team Bayern Munich. They attack from the right side of the broadcast screen to the left."

"Wearing a sea-and-sky blue jersey and shorts is the visiting team's defending champion Arsenal..."

Central 5 commentator He Wei blurted out.

Bayern, which has the advantage of kick-off, played very steadily, taking every step and playing steadily.

The visiting team Arsenal played in a very low-key manner, with a low posture and full defense, leaving only Mahrez, who is fast and has excellent technical skills at his feet, to serve as the counterattack point.

The Robbery team is almost 70 years old, and their speed and attack ability are completely incomparable with that of their youth.

But game experience is a very valuable asset to Bayern now.

Bayern was able to win the league title early this season and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, which has a lot to do with the outstanding performance of Robery and his team in the last years of their careers.

Coupled with Lewandowski's stable number of goals, Bayern is invincible in all competitions.

In the first five minutes, the home team players gradually showed their excellent competitive state in the fanatical home atmosphere.

The offensive surged like a tidal wave and continued continuously.

So much so that Martin had to focus on defense.

"aoaoaooaooooooo——"

The Bayern fans in the audience saw that Martin was struggling to cope with the defense, and their chants became louder and louder, with one wave after another.

Heynckes, who was standing in the technical area directed by the home team coach, frowned.

His eyes are as sharp as an eagle and can see things that others find difficult to capture.

The team seemed to be in the driver's seat and it felt like the goal was very close.

The Bayern fans in the auditorium were impassioned and their loud cheers continued for a long time.

It was precisely because of the hot home atmosphere that Heynckes became even more uneasy.

The continuous cheering and cheering may bring huge psychological pressure to the visiting team, but it will also make the home team players who are attacking continuously become a little carried away.

The two full-backs Bernat and Kimmich press forward very much, and they are almost used as wingers.

Although he reminded loudly from the sidelines from time to time, the players always lost their sense of position during the overall advancement.

In the 24th minute of the game, Bayern, which had successive offensive opportunities, suffered a fatal blow.

After Ribery cut inside, he passed the ball to Lewandowski, who was retreating to support him. He pressed his body against Koscielny and waited for a turn, but then used the outside instep of his right foot to pass the football to Ribery. Directly passed to Thomas Muller who was inserted into the front edge of the penalty area on the left side.

This kind of tactical cooperation has been tried and tested in the Bundesliga this season.

But...this is the Champions League!

Wenger had already told defensive players before the game to pay attention to Bayern's small-scale cooperation in the frontcourt, especially Lewandowski's play after being pulled out.

You know, Thomas Muller and Tolisso both have strong ability to get involved in scoring goals!

Van Dyke's precise fall to the ground and shovel as he retreated kept the ball in place.

Thomas Muller fell into the penalty area due to inertia. He raised his hands to complain about a foul.

The referee Kuppers was focused and could see clearly. He pointed at the football and signaled that Van Dijk should make a clean move.

At the same time, Van Dyke swept the ball directly to Kanter, who quickly passed to Martin who was open to receive the ball.

Javi Martinez immediately pounced on Martin.

Unexpectedly, Martin had no intention of taking the ball. He kept the ball on the right rib and directly kicked the football kicked by Kanter to the right side of the attack.

Mahrez, who was close to the sideline, quickly passed through the center line and approached the diagonal through ball sent by Martin at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Boateng is the fastest player in the entire defense and he chases back at high speed.

After Mahrez brought the ball to the top of the penalty area, he was finally in place.

Unfortunately, the Algerian international has excellent foot skills and used changes in rhythm to knock Boateng to the ground.

Neuer had no idea about such a change.

By the time he realized it was too late to apply pressure.

Mahrez put the ball into the penalty area, adjusted his steps, and pushed the ball with the arch of his left foot into the space under Neuer's crotch before he could close the door...

The football with the Champions League five-star logo rolled across the goal line and hit the snow-white net under the watchful eyes of fans from all over the world.

0:1

Arsenal takes the lead as a guest!

Mahrez was extremely excited when he scored. He opened his arms and ran all the way, expressing his joy of scoring by sliding on his knees.

The home team's fans were stunned, not expecting Arsenal's counterattack to be so quick and fatal.

Arsenal fans who traveled with the team seized the opportunity to show themselves and made hysterical shouts to cheer for Mahrez who scored the first goal.

Wenger, who was also standing in the command and technical area, took a deep breath and hugged his two assistants.

Heynckes, who was in the home team's command area at the other end, slowly exhaled his breath.

The scene he least wanted to see happened after all.

But the goal has been lost, and frustration and frustration cannot change the outcome.

What he has to do is to let the team quickly regain confidence and continue playing according to the tactics formulated before the game.
