Chapter 437: Nine Years in a Hurry
"Audience friends, welcome to the 2014-2015 UEFA Champions Cup semi-finals second leg Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain match, I am Huang Jianxiang, and I will explain this game to you with Peng Weiguo...... How long has it been since you came to England? ”
"Hello audience friends, I'm Peng Weiguo...... Coincidentally, the last time I was in England, I happened to watch Arsenal's Champions League semi-finals...... "Peng Weiguo's mind suddenly drifted back to 2006, which was also the first time Arsenal reached the Champions League final.
Peng Weiguo is a Premier League fan, and he sincerely loves Premier League teams, and he was invited to broadcast the game live with Huang Jianxiang this time, which is quite happy, not to mention that there are Chinese players in the field in this game, which can be described as perfect.
"Ahem, but there was a very unfortunate news before the game...... Huang Jianxiang coughed twice and smiled awkwardly, "Several young players of the national team were arrested by the stadium security as terrorists, because they were too enthusiastic in the face of Henry, but fortunately they called Liu Hao, and the misunderstanding was resolved." ”
"Actually, we Chinese fans don't have a little bit, it's just that it's so crazy that even the national team players are no exception, everyone just takes it as a happy joke to ridicule, and now they have returned to the box, Henry has already warmly entertained them after knowing the whole story, and it seems to be a good thing......" Peng Weiguo smiled, downplaying the impact of this matter, "Okay, we have now got the squad of the two teams, and Arsenal has not changed, It's just that the list on the bench has changed slightly, and most of them are veterans, and of course, Liu Hao is also indispensable. And Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, did not make any changes, and Cabaye, who was played by Liu Hao in the first leg, still appeared in the starting list. It can be seen that Blanco still has a lot of trust in him......"
"There is still half an hour to go before the game, and Arsenal will have a medal ceremony dedicated to the meritorious players of '06, and the club may want to inspire the current players to reach the Champions League final like they did in '06! That's why Henry is here, so let's let the director switch back to the game......"
The fans were already seated at the Emirates Stadium and no one would have missed the moment to see Arsenal reach another Champions League final. There have been plenty of moments of excitement in the City of London, but it's usually at Stamford Bridge, and this time it's Arsenal's turn. Arsenal fans don't have to be sad at the end of the season.
In the middle of the pitch, a simple rostrum was erected, with the Arsenal president and the professor with their backs to the rostrum, waiting for something.
Soon, we saw that the familiar Arsenal of '06 would come out of the fan stands from all sides, like the heroes who appear from time to time in the movie, making the fans so mesmerized.
First of all, the tall German goalkeeper Lehmann, who wore a cap and hid in the first row of the fan box, and the fans never noticed his deposit. If he hadn't thrown off his hat and jumped out of the billboard, he would have been able to lurk among the fans until the end of the game.
The cheers of the fans immediately rang out, and they responded with the warmest applause......
Immediately afterwards, Pire, who was playing in India as far away as Asia, appeared. This guy is much older than before, but those eyes are still so charming...... Coming out with him is the wing partner Ljungberg, who is still so fashionable. The hair is still a beautiful landscape, but the beard is much whiter than before, and the years are not forgiving. He also became a real uncle.
Vieira, Campbell, Hleb, Eboue and Gilberto walked out of the tunnel together, waving their hands to the fans, Hleb had tears in his eyes, and he was quite excited to be back here. Gilberto simply put his arms around Hleb's neck and buried his head deep in his bosom, not daring to look at the qiē in front of him......
The cheers of the fans are like a tsunami, watching the former players return here, they are even crazier than the players, and they really dream back to 06!
Finally, Henry stepped out of the box and trotted down the passageway, and the atmosphere reached its climax in an instant......
"Henry!"
"Henry!"
Compared with Ling Zhenbang's madness before, Arsenal fans chanted Henry's name rhythmically, and did not have the urge to put Henry in their pockets.
"Ah, the years are really a pig-killing knife...... It's been nine years in the blink of an eye, nine years is not a reincarnation, but why is it so sour to watch? Peng Weiguo in front of the big screen was already in tears, and he couldn't help but be moved by this scene. Actually, this guy is a Manchester United fan......
In the era of Manchester United's 92 golden generation, only Arsenal was the opponent of Manchester United who was not lonely in that era...... Great opponents are the most respectable. Without Arsenal's existence, it would not reflect the greatness of Manchester United, and of course, Manchester United is great at the same time, Arsenal is also great.
"I almost can't hold it anymore, alas......" Huang Jianxiang rubbed his eyes, not letting his tears run out, although he is a Serie A fan, he is also a fan first and foremost, he knows world football well, "Ashley? Cole didn't come, Cesc Fabregas didn't come, Cole may be worried that the fans won't appreciate it, Fabregas followed Chelsea to Madrid, maybe he didn't dare to come. ”
'I think the fans would forgive them if they were here at a special moment like this. At this moment, there should be no hatred, only love! Peng Weiguo wiped his eyes and turned his gaze to the big screen again.
At this time, the president of Arsenal shook hands with the professors and soldiers one by one, then hugged each other one by one, and presented a small souvenir to each person. The souvenir is also very thoughtful, that is, their jersey back then, and the jersey is still their jersey number. It's not made of gold, but it's precious.
Henry, the captain of this team, delivered a speech on behalf of everyone.
"Many years have passed, and we still haven't forgotten it. Even though we didn't win the European Champions Cup in the end, those years were our happiest days, and they were something we couldn't replace wherever we went, I love you, Arsenal ......" Henry's speech was extremely sensational, and he couldn't hold back his tears as he spoke, and the other old things were about the same.
"Crying like a child...... Hopefully this year Arsenal can sit down to what they didn't do that year! Huang Jianxiang said with emotion. Okay, now it's Liu Hao's turn to leave the factory, this is the handover of the scepters of the old and new generations of stars......"
Under the leadership of Vermaelen, Arsenal's new players ran out of the players' tunnel and walked to the podium, and the atmosphere on the pitch reached a climax again......
"It's really possible, does the professor think that such a toss can ensure Arsenal's breakthrough?" Blanco wondered in the away dressing room that the game was played, not blown out, and what was the use of teaching so many tricks. It's nothing more than trying to boost the morale of the team!
Wondering, Blanco had to admit that morale was very important, so he also had to blow the wind with his disciples.
"I don't need to say how important this game is, if you want to increase your salary, you have to play hard! If you want honor, you have to play hard! Want to go to a better club? Not to mention...... Whatever you are after, the ultimate goal is the same, and one thing you have to remember is unity. If we don't unite. Then it is impossible to win here! ”
It's not a three-year-old anymore, and there is no need to say more about this kind of big truth......
After almost 25 minutes of inclamation on Arsenal's side, PSG finally came out of the dressing room and were greeted by a poor crowd of more than 300 fans. The voices of the fans are clearly not comparable to Arsenal.
Originally, Paris Saint-Germain fans could have gotten more away tickets. According to the official information from UEFA, at least 3,000 tickets are reserved for Paris Saint-Germain, but fans can only get their hands on more than 300......
Cause? The media reported that it was because a group of Chinese fans took their tickets from Paris. I don't know how Chinese fans got the tickets, anyway, the tickets that originally belonged to the Parisians were bought like this, and the vast magic power of the Chinese fans made the Parisians jaw-dropping......
Blanco looked up at the sky full of Arsenal fans. I didn't understand what was going on, in the past, when the team went out to play away games, there were as few as one or two thousand fans. Of course he was disappointed that there were only so many fans in such an important game today. On days like these, he feels like a fan outcast, like a player booed by the fans in the first leg!
Who says fans are the most reliable 12th man? NO……
Wait! I will definitely make history with Paris Saint-Germain and lead the team to the Champions League final, hum! At this time, Blanco actually fought with the fans.
"Before the game, the major spinach companies were optimistic about Arsenal's final qualification, and I think the game is about the same, there is nothing that can prevent Arsenal from reaching the final, after waiting for so many years, Arsenal should also go. Although I am not an Arsenal fan, I support Arsenal, of course, I support Liu Hao even more, and I also talked to him on the phone in the afternoon, and he himself is full of expectations......"
"The incident a few days ago may have had some impact on him, and I heard that Japanese star Ryo Miyaichi may also have something to do with it, but the police preliminarily determined that Ryo Miyaichi did not have any problems, it was just the personal behavior of the fans, but I personally expressed my doubts, because just like their country, the credibility is too low...... Just as our country describes it - a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship. ”
"Okay, okay, watch the game, what's the matter, I told Liu Hao, if we can qualify tonight, we have a good drink in England......" Peng Weiguo pulled his thoughts back to the game, at this time the players on both sides had begun to shake hands with each other, and the game immediately started!
The professor is back in the dugout, very close to Boulder, not with Boulder, it looks like the two of them are going to co-direct the game?
"Steve, when the game is over, we'll have dinner together." The professor's expression was relaxed, more relaxed than in any previous game, as if he was not playing in the Champions League semi-finals at all.
"Oh?" Boulder was slightly surprised, and then couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you nervous at all now?" ”
According to his thoughts, the professor should more or less show some anxiety symptoms like himself!
"If it was nine years ago, I would, but now I really don't feel that way, especially after I met those old disciples just now, I was thinking, I should enjoy the game, as long as we hit the attention and play the game, what if we win or lose? We are worthy of anyone. "The professor spreads his hands, it looks like he is really calm and calm, is this the legendary breakthrough in cultivation, and the god has soared?
The referee finally blew the whistle and Giroud flicked the ball to the ground to decide who reached the final.
It's finally getting started! Liu Hao's mood was very excited, and at this moment, his eyes were focused on the game motionlessly, and he was one step closer to his ridiculous dream.
Due to the 3-3 draw away to Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal did not need to fight to score goals with their opponents at all, so they must be defense-oriented, after almost a season of training by the professor, Arsenal's defense is not the same as before. What's more, Arsenal have been called a copycat version of Barcelona for many years, so when they firmly control the ball in their central midfield, PSG also play quite uncomfortable, they need to score a goal, they need to take the lead, to take the initiative of the game back into their own hands.
The Parisians had to press out in an attempt to keep Arsenal at half-time and scrambled. But they were disappointed, Arsenal were not messed up at all. The high-intensity pressing in the first 20 minutes did not make Arsenal collapse, but made Arsenal's defensive counterattack play impressively, if it were not for Giroud not being a defensive counterattacking centre-forward, it is estimated that Arsenal would have scored.
Twenty minutes of onslaught did not work, PSG slowed down, and Arsenal did not rush to say a counterattack, because they did not need to fight back at all, they just needed to play 12 points to meet PSG's attack. The team that defends last is the champion! I don't know when, the professor has already implemented this concept to the team members. In the past, it would have been impossible for a professor to have such a stubborn personality, but this year's professor is very abnormal......
"People are alive, thinking is also alive, and daring to deny oneself is itself an affirmation of oneself, and I think this is the biggest progress of the professor over the years!" Huang Jianxiang pointed out the professor's tactical thinking at this time, "I heard that he is likely to leave Arsenal at the end of the season, I don't know if it's true?" (To be continued......)
