Volume 2 Huocun Miracle Chapter 345 The arrogant Premier League

After the quarter-final draw, qUAnBEn, because Manchester United drew Porto, which is considered to be the weakest in the quarterfinals, the Red Devils' odds to win the championship also surpassed the previous first Barcelona, and the odds of Barcelona, which was the first in the odds list, fell to second.

Premier League top three Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are close behind, Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich are in the sixth or seventh place, while Porto are rightfully bottom. Arsenal's odds overwhelm Hoffenheim, indicating that the bookmaker is optimistic about Arsenal beating Hoffenheim, but the difference in odds between the two teams is minimal, Arsenal is 7, and Hoffenheim's surname is a coincidence. With Hoffenheim's current strength, the bookmaker does not dare to put Baodu on the old powerhouse Arsenal.

"Daily Metropolis" said that Arsenal's odds are so close to Hoffenheim, probably because of Hoffenheim's defensive counter-attacking ability in the elimination of Villarreal, if Arsenal is picked up by Hoffenheim to score first, Wenger's team will definitely not be able to play. However, Hoffenheim's style of play is similar to that of the Premier League side, and there is a huge question mark over whether their pressing and passing will be effective when facing a real flow of Premier League technology. Don't look at Hoffenheim's slaughter of Manchester United in the Super Cup, but that kind of semi-friendly game can't be used as a standard for the Champions League. The odds offered by the bookmakers are quite reasonable.

Before the draw, the British media were unanimously concerned that Platini would calculate the Premier League. But now even the most critical and selfish British media have to admit that this is a sign for the Premier League.

"The Sun" said: It is not so much that the quarterfinals are the European continent encircling the Premier League, but that the Premier League is encircling Europe. Manchester United are basically in the last four. The other half of the zone is either Liverpool or Chelsea. All occupy a place in the semi-finals, that is. There must be two Premier League spots in the last four. The match between Arsenal and Hoffenheim is about five to five. Arsenal's experience and skill are likely to give them the win. So the final result may be three England vs. Barcelona again.

The British newspaper The Times said wildly, "Judging by the draw for the quarterfinals." This year's Champions League final is essentially a replica of last season, with the difference being which two teams are in the final.

In fact, since Milan returned to the Premier League's top three, no team has beaten the Premier League giants. Over the past four seasons, some of the former Champions League semi-finals have been from the Premier League. There are English teams in the final every year, and the Champions League has a tendency to become the FA Cup.

This optimism and arrogance of the British press infuriated the German and Spanish media. "The Britons, who have been so angry for years because of the failure of their national team, are eager to use the success of the club in recent years to save face for themselves, even though their national team manager is an Italian who can break through from the top three of the Premier League and win the Champions League than Milan, why can't Barcelona do it." The old and different face of the book!

And Bild laughed: "Although in the eyes of many, the success of the Premier League does not belong to the English. The Russians, the Americans and the Emiratis, but the British are still proud of it. But the British counterparts were a little too early in their joy, and they only thought of the best outcome. In fact, the worst result is Hoffenheim knocking out Arsenal and Manchester United in a row, while Bayern knocking out Barcelona and the Premier League, and the two Bundesliga teams advance to the final"

After the draw at Hoffenheim, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had no joy or sorrow, because he knew the Bundesliga rookie well, and Wenger said in an interview with UEFA's official website after the draw. 'We're certainly not as happy as Manchester United but not as annoyed as Liverpool and Chelsea, in my opinion. It's a close race. Anyone can win, but please recall the Year of the Sword. At that time, we only caught the last train to the semi-finals in the last game. and reached the Champions League final. Since we have done it, it means that we are not incapable of replication. History is always a striking coincidence.

Arsene Wenger wants to repeat history, while Hoffenheim wants to make history, Rangnick told reporters when he knew it was Arsenal. Arsenal are his favourite team, and his approach to that of Professor Arsene Wenger is similar in that they both like to hit the ground. They all like the flow of technology and they all like to develop young players, but Rangnick wants to beat Arsenal in this great contest, Rangnick said, "Win or lose, we make history every step of the way, and we haven't won the Champions League for the first time in the history of the Champions League, but I hope we have the opportunity to do it." If this dream can really come true, I think even if I retire now, I have no regrets. ”

The two Bundesliga teams reaching the quarterfinals is a breakthrough and a source of pride for German football, and although it will be difficult for the two teams to break through the siege of La Liga and the Premier League to reach the final, the German media is still very enthusiastic and optimistic about the Champions League prospects of both teams.

The headline of Bild was "Bundesliga challenges Anglo-Spanish domination". Each pair of Barcelona and Messi in the game is definitely a challenge for Bayern, but judging from the favorable schedule and impressive historical record, Bayern will not have a chance to beat Barcelona. Bayern have drawn the away and home schedule, and in the history of European competition, Bayern have played Barcelona four times, with an unbeaten record of three wins and draws. The performance is eye-catching.

Hoffenheim's difficulties are not lighter than Bayern's, Arsenal is a European technical stream on a par with Barcelona, under the training of the Premier League, they still have a strong ability to fight, Hoffenheim wants to eliminate Arsenal not only need to play extraordinarily, but also need some luck, in addition, Hoffenheim's schedule is not good, they are home and away.

But Hoffenheim has Li Huan, the world footballer, who has already scored in the Champions League. What, goal, Arsenal can't think of a way to deal with Li Huan, and it is likely to fall into the ravine of Hoffenheim. ”

The title of "Kicker" is "The Bundesliga soldiers are divided into two ways, Hoffenheim wants to make history", "Bayern goes to the Iberian Peninsula again, Hoffenheim goes to the British Isles, the Bundesliga soldiers are divided into two ways to challenge the British and Western giants, and when Hoffenhager almost locked the league championship, the Bundesliga breaks through the Champions League quarterfinals and becomes the biggest expectation of German fans."

Bayern are getting better under Jurgen Klinsmann and they hope to return to the glory of eight years ago, Hoffenheim can reach the quarter-finals before the start of the season, no one expected to do so, and now they have replaced Bayern Munich as the banner of the Bundesliga, if they can reach the final and win the Champions League, they will become legends that can never be surpassed. ”

After the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Hoffenheim began to prepare for the game against Arsenal in two weeks' time, and after they were held to a draw by Eintracht Frankfurt, they are still clear of second-placed Wolfsburg, and the league is over with ten games to go, even if they lose four games in a row, Wolfsburg will have to win four games in a row to equalize. Hoffenheim's goal difference far exceeded that of Pelfsburg, and Hoffenheim's league title was basically worry-free, and the games against Hannover and Hamburg were used by Hoffenheim to train his troops.

Hannover Goo is an underdog, Hoffenheim is playing at home again, Rangnick adjusted several attack lineups in a game, with three strikers, two strikers, one high and one fast, double high and high combinations, Van Nistelrooy Demba Ba, Saviola and Obasi showed their attacking power to the fullest, and finally defeated Hannover Goo 7-1.

But Rangnick wasn't happy with the team's attacking power. In the next game against Hamburg, Rangnick is still adjusting the forward line, and also tried to transfer Li Huan to the left-back position for the second time, let Baker play right-back, and the midfield also sent Eduardo, Saarihovic and Arshavin all-attacking lineup.

However, Hoffenheim's change was obviously too big, the Hamburg team did not adapt, and the Hoffenheim players themselves did not adapt, and they were finally drawn by the Hamburg team with 3 bows. However, Li Huan, who was transferred to left-back, performed exceptionally well, scoring two goals and scoring a total of goals, surpassing Ibisevic to become Hoffenheim's top scorer, just one less than Wolfsburg's Grafit. Expected to defend the league's Golden Boot.

The team were held to a draw, but Rangnick was very happy and it looked as if he had found a way to deal with Champions League rivals Arsenal in the league.

However, the German media is worried about Rangnick's desperate practice of attacking lineups, Arsenal's style of play is very famous in Europe, and their strength can definitely rank in the top ten in Europe, but they have never won the Champions League, mainly because Arsenal's defense is not good, and the willpower is not firm enough, in other words, the style of play is too faced, so in the Premier League in the past two years, it has been repeatedly suppressed by Manchester United and Chelsea.

The German media believes that Hoffenheim should practice the defensive lineup, like dealing with Villarreal, kill Arsenal with dense defense and counterattack, there are counterattack masters like Li Huan and Arshavin, and there are point-grabbing players like Vanney and Demba Ba. Even Hoffenheim's mouthpiece, the Rheinneckar, is asking Rangnick what he wants to do, does he want to play against Arsenal? Arsenal is not Bayern, let alone Villarreal, and Manchester United is very different, even in the Premier League, Chelsea and Liverpool are using solid defense, savage interceptions and sharp counterattacks to deal with Arsenal, why does Rangnick put aside the ready-made experience, but concentrate on practicing attacking.

Haverman, a senior commentator for Bild, said unceremoniously: Rangnick would have died an ugly death if he used the half-baked attacking football he learned from the Premier League to play against Arsenal.
