In the past two years, there has been a popular saying in Chinese football: Arsenal is a copycat Barcelona, Hoffenheim is a pirated gunner, QUaNBEN, of course, Arsenal does not admit that they are a copycat Barcelona, and Hoffenhaiyao certainly does not admit that they are pirated gunners.

These two teams are barely enough to accept that Arsenal is Barcelona in the Premier League and Hoffenheim is Arsenal in the Bundesliga.

In fact, the comparison of Hoffenheiyao to a pirated version of Arsenal shows that the playing style of these two teams still has a certain similarity, and even Rangnick does not deny this, short pass penetration, fast combining, this is the way Hoffenhine Yao plays. And that's exactly what Arsenal does. Li Huan told reporters in an interview that he was able to quickly integrate into Arsenal because Hoffenheim's training style, playing style, and philosophy are very similar to Arsenal.

Hoffenheim and Arsenal met twice in the Champions League knockout round last season, and the **-type Hoffenheim defeated the typical Arsenal, good at attacking, and Arsenal, who is more skilled in passing and receiving, has major defects, their attacking ability is average, and their fighting spirit is not tenacious enough, and in the end they did not break Hoffenheim's defensive counterattack, and they lost in two rounds, which also completed the miracle of Hoffenheim's treble.

I don't know if this season is God's arrangement or UEFA's behind-the-scenes deal, Arsenal and Hoffenhaiyao meet again in the Champions League, although it is not a battle of life and death in the knockout round, but the two teams will not let go of each other easily, whether it is for the battle for the top spot in the group or for some complicated reasons.

Of course, the biggest attraction of this game is Li Huan's return to Germany to challenge his old club, as the most popular player today, as a living legend among defenders, as the world footballer, Li Huan's influence even exceeds the two teams themselves, so this game is also considered by fans and the media to be comparable to the battle of Real Madrid Milan.

As the center and focus of this game, Li Huan has become the object of reporters' pursuit, and they all want to take out a little material from Li Huan's mouth to increase the sales of their newspaper. But Li Huan didn't say a word about it, a few months after coming to the UK, Li Huan learned the difficulty of British reporters, and the rigor of German reporters is different, British reporters are more exaggerated, not only good at digging celebrities, but also good at distorting celebrities' speeches.

In the past, Li Huan would also deliberately say some radical language to make the media hype, Arsenal, as a wealthy family, has a lot of media that have a good relationship with them. Not giving any information to reporters is not good for Arsenal, and the professional football industry media is also an important aspect.

But now Li Huan is unwilling to have a war of words with Hoffenheim, he has been in Hoffenheim for five years, and has a deep affection for Hoffenheim, leaving only for competitive considerations, not a conflict with the coach and boss, Li Huan hopes to maintain this incense, of course, he will not give reporters a chance to hype.

Arsene Wenger was not an aggressive coach like Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho, and he worked well with Hoffenheim in previous transfers. Now they are still working on the transfer of Arshavin, so there is no intention of provoking a verbal battle. The Arsenal players only said that they wanted to avenge their two defeats last season, and did not provoke their opponents.

Arsenal's strength this season is obvious to all, Hoffenheim although not convinced but also showed the generosity of the defending champions, before the game the players just said that they must win at home, otherwise they not only have no chance to compete for the top spot in the group, or even qualify will be a problem, Olympiacos and Standard Liege are not weak, fully capable of threatening them.

Although the reporter clearly knew that this was a game that everyone wanted to win, both teams behaved so calmly and peacefully. There is not much chance for reporters to provoke a war of words between the two teams. They can only analyze from the practice and technical and tactical arrangements of the two sides, and in the previous focus battles in Europe and Zhejiang, the match between Arsenal and Hoffen Siren can be called a very mild war.

On the surface, the two teams respect each other, but in fact, both teams attach great importance to the game, Hoffenheim, who had one win and one loss in the two group games, lost in the league because of concerns about the Champions League, and was seized the top position by Bayern, although Arsenal swept Birmingham in the league, but it was mainly Li Huan's madness, and the absolute main force went down in advance to prepare for the Champions League, and the practice of Premier League teams is to play on Saturday and rest on Sunday, while Arsenal did not have a holiday, You can see how seriously Wenger takes this game.

Arsenal on Sunday mainly walked to relax, the whole team watched the two encounters between Arsenal and Hoffenheim last season, discussed the team's gains and losses, and the afternoon was mainly for restorative activities, to the frustration of Wenger and Arsenal players, Walcott was still injured again, although not a major injury, but the game against Hoffenheim was definitely not available. Bendtner, Denilson, Fabianski and Djoroux are still unhealed, and they can only do this important game

Monday's practice has increased the intensity, in addition to the preparation activities, Arsenal mainly conduct simulation training, Arsenal youth team players came to the first team area as a sparring partner, the two teams are really in the team practice match, Wenger and the assistant coach recorded the problems in the game, corrected on the spot, and will not allow players to commit again in the next training game. Otherwise, you will have to be a substitute, and if you don't correct it, you can only sit on the sidelines as a spectator.

After the morning practice, the team ate a nutritious meal and was not allowed to go home, and the players of the first team were not interested in the light and tasteless nutritious meal, and they were very tired, and they were lying on the turf and were unwilling to get up.

The players of the youth team easily got a chance to play against their idols, and they all seemed very happy, and they came to their favorite stars to chat with their idols, and some of the little ones even asked for autographs and group photos like star chasers, which made the players of the first team smile bitterly.

During the meal, the players of the first team gathered together in groups of three or five, but they were not as distinct as the original, Nasri of the French Gang, Wilmalen of the Dutch Gang, and Fabregas all sat with Li Huan, they are not a faction, but they often cooperate in the game, and they usually talk, and they often sit together when the team has dinner.

"Don't show mercy to your subordinates, we must win, the day of the game is the professor's birthday." Cesc Fabregas said to Li Huan.

Li Huan didn't know it yet, and said in surprise: "Really, it's such a coincidence."

Nasri said, "Yes, I've heard that, too." You don't see how much the coach values this game. ”

Li Huan laughed and said: "The 60th birthday, we in China want to congratulate well." Of course, we can't embarrass him, but we can't fight like Birming lost. Cesc Fabregas said: "What are you kidding, Hoffenheim are the defending champions, we can play them eight goals away from home, either we have become supermen, or the opponents have diarrhea and cramps." ”

Nasri said: "Last season we lost to Hoffenheim, it wasn't all they engaged in intensive defense, and then Li Huan counterattacked, and now Li Huan is here, they have to attack at home, we must win them no problem."

Wilmaelen waved his fist and said: "Now who are we afraid of in the whole of Europe, they are afraid of us, Hoffenheim's state has declined since Li Huan left, if we can't even clean them up, what qualifications do we have to win the championship."

Fabregas said: "Although Li Huan is gone, Hoffenheim's team is not without powerful people, Arshavin, Demba Ba, Vanney, and Ibischevi are all dangerous. ”

Nasri said, "Li Huan, you can talk to us about the players of Hoffenhaiyao, so we can be mentally prepared." ”

Cesc Fabregas said: "Yes, we have prepared in advance, which is good for the game. ”

Li Huan thought for a while and said: "After winning the championship last year, Hoffenheim was put under the magnifying glass, and you have also watched their videos, the style of play is similar to Arsenal, but they are more concise, not as complicated as ours." I warn you not to ignore the black avant-garde with whom I often work, Obasi, who is more powerful than he is famous, and to ignore him is bound to be a problem. Ibisevic is a good friend of mine and I know his ability very well, he is the kind of person who can take the opportunity and create the opportunity even if he doesn't have the opportunity. Vanney and Arshavin are also very tough, and both are fierce men who can break through a line of defense alone. Thomas Wilmaren, you have a heavy task to watch the king of the small penalty area

Wilmaren said confidently: "There is no problem, the current king of the small penalty area is no longer the king of the small penalty area of the Premier League, and there is no problem to watch him." As long as you can watch Arshavin

Cesc Fabregas said: "I think Arshavin is the most dangerous, the attack is very strong, Li Huan used to defend him in the League Cup that year, he should have experience, I don't worry about Li Huan, Thomas, you must pay attention, Vanney is not as old as you think, as long as you are negligent, he promises to give you an embarrassment." ”

Nasri pondered for a moment and said: "Li Huan has been in Hoffenheim for four years, and the Hoffenheim players are too familiar with him, I think in this game, Li Huan will definitely encounter the tightest defense." ”

Fabregas said: "This is certain, against Birming Li Huan scored five goals, Hoffenhaiyao will definitely do all his strength to prevent Li Huan, but in this way, we have a chance.; In terms of technology, Hoffenheim's thumb is still a little rougher""

Li Huan smiled and said, "Anyway, the professor is going to celebrate his birthday, and we happen to be the first tossed victory, as long as we win, we will tie the record." We've got to win, don't look at me, I'm not going to show mercy, but don't expect me to score another goal, that's luck. ”
