Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 210 Manifesto

Arsene Wenger's training has intensified since Arsene Wenger's return from Berlin, and Bayern's quality in the German Cup has made Arsenal feel threatened, as they have not taken the Bundesliga title seriously.

Champions Cup 1/8 finals at home against Fiorentina, Bayern relied on Klose offside in the 89th minute to score the winning goal, in Old Trafford against the old rival Manchester United, Italian Rizzoli sent Manchester United right-back Rafael to become the turning point of the game, and finally Bayern lost to advance, semi-finals against Lyon, and relied on the help of volcanic ash, the British think that Bayern advanced to one-third by luck, one-third by referees, and the remaining one-third by strength, which is not convincing.

And this German Cup made Arsenal people change their original opinion, Bayern certainly has a luck component, but the strength should not be underestimated, if it is not for this German Cup final exposed Bayern's strength, Arsenal may suffer a big loss in the Champions Cup final.

Now the Arsenal are regretting that they have not been able to prevent the Court of Arbitration for Sport from commuting Ribery's sentence, and perhaps the outcome would have been different if they had strongly objected at the time.

It's useless to regret now, there is still a week to go, and Arsenal will have to deal with the Bundesliga double with more caution and seriousness.

After Wenger came back, Li Huan, who was familiar with the Bundesliga and Bayern, almost became Arsenal's assistant coach, and Wenger would call Li Huan to participate in the coaching staff tactical meeting every time, and refer to Li Huan's opinions to modify and formulate tactics.

The difference between this Bayern and the Bayern team when Li Huan was in the Bundesliga is that there is one more Robben, but after Robben arrived, Bayern had a nuclear change. In the past, Ribery was desolate and lonely at Bayern, but no one could answer after the wonderful breakthrough, with the arrival of Robben, Ribery finally found a soulmate and a partner to share the pressure, Ribeiro has become the most terrifying bilateral striker combination in the Bundesliga and even Europe, and Bayern's dream of flying on both wings has become a reality.

Although Bayern's left side is Ribery, but Arsenal's right side has the world's magic wing Li Huan, regardless of offense or defense, Wenger does not need to worry about the right side, but Klich on the left side is Arsenal's shortcoming, and Klich is just the combination of Bayern's most powerful Robben Rahm, if no special arrangements are made, the probability of being blown up in the game is not low. Arsene Wenger's pre-match training focused on revamping the left side of the defence.

In addition to the left flank, Arsene Wenger is also concerned about Bayern's young centre-forward Muller, Thomas's predecessor's famous bomber, that is, the league goal record holder Gerd Muller scored 15 goals in 33 games in his first season, and the 20-year-old Thomas's 19 goals and 16 assists in 51 games this season have completely surpassed his predecessors. With Gallas still not fully recovered from injury, Arsene Wenger is concerned about whether his centre-backs Campbell and Vermaelen will be able to stop the creative centre-forward.

Arsenal and Bayern are not without advantages, Arsenal's advantage is the attack on the right and the middle, Li Huan is against Bayern's short left-back, Van Gaal has made many changes to the left side this season, but in the end it is still ineffective, Bad Stuber, Radford Head and Contento three young people have to take turns to play, with the German media's pre-match comments, "these three left-backs together may be able to block Li Huan's attack."

In the middle, Cesc Fabregas has a better playmaking and assists than Schweinsteiger. If they strengthen the interception in the midfield position, cut off the cross position of Ribery and Robben, and let them fight separately, Arsenal's chances of winning will be greater than Bayern's.

But these calculations and tactical arrangements can only be reflected on paper, when the real fight, there are many factors that determine the game, morale, luck, referees, venues, players' personal ability, these are enough to affect the outcome of the game, so the cup often has a strong team upset by the weak team.

As the finale of this season's top European competition, and at the same time the last meal before the World Cup in South Africa, the Champions League final is naturally hotly discussed by the media around the world.

The duel between tacticians Fangar and Arsene Wenger, the reunion of Li Huan and Ribery, the hometown meeting between Van Persie and Robben, and the midfield battle between Cesc Fabregas and Piggy are all the focus of heated media discussions.

Germany's "Bild" reporter broke the news before the game: Van Gaal and Wenger actually had an intersection before the start of this season, Bayern general manager Hoeness was aiming for Wenger, but Wenger was unwilling to leave Arsenal he had built for more than ten years, and finally Hoeness found Van Gaal, if Wenger agreed to Bayern's invitation at the beginning of the season, maybe there would be no showdown between the two teams now.

The reporter of "Bild" believes that Van Gaal and Wenger's tactical concepts are actually derived from the Netherlands, the core part of their tactics is to attack and defend all the time, no position is allowed to easily kick the ball, use the pass to create space, contain the opponent, all the staff to press the defense, starting from the center and wingers, these are Michels's tactical concepts, but in addition to Michels's ideas, Wenger and Van Gaal also added their own unique things. Van Gaal's tactics are more rigorous, and the winger tactics that overemphasize individual breakthroughs are the first things Van Gaal wants to rule out, while Wenger is relatively free in tactics, allowing players to play freely.

The two world coaches are of the same level and status in the world, but Wenger has been in charge of Arsenal for more than a decade, while Louis van Gaal has only been in charge of Bayern for one season, and when playing such a tough game, Wenger, who has better control of the team, undoubtedly has the upper hand.

The reporter believes that although Li Huan is stronger than Ribery in terms of technique, body and consciousness, Li Huan has been suppressing Ribery when he was in the Bundesliga, but this time Ribery was lucky to reduce his sentence and was able to participate in the biggest event of European football, and with the help of Dutch Peter Pan Robben, he may have a chance to win back a game.

Van Persie and Robben are both technical forwards and have strong creativity, but Robben's biggest capital is his speed, Robben's inward long-range shot is also Bayern's killer weapon, and Van Persie's ability to do the ball at the edge of the penalty area is very strong, the strength of the two can be described as half a catty, who can perform better mainly depends on their on-the-spot performance in the game.

The British "Every Post" believes that the most critical players in this game are undoubtedly Li Huan and Robben, but it may not be Li Huan who decides the outcome of the game, but Fabregas and Piggy Schweinsteiger, because in the case that Arsenal and Bayern's wings have weaknesses, maybe the two teams will have a balance on the side, so that the decision of the game may be the midfielder who was responsible for organizing and scheduling, Fabregas and Piggy Schweinsteiger have a certain ability to assist, in the stalemate, Their sudden insertion can often produce unexpected results.

The Sun, on the other hand, believes that it may not be the big stars who will decide the outcome, but the inconspicuous small people, such as Bayern's Olic or Muller, while Arsenal's Diaby and Theo Walcott also have the ability to disrupt the game. In such a tournament, the two teams must have studied the core characters of both sides to the hair, and the defense must have been to the extreme, and the result is that the little people have stepped up, and many tournaments have confirmed this truth.

Before such a competition, the presidents of the two clubs were not willing to be lonely and jumped out to make their own statements.

Bayern's honorary president Beckenbauer said in a statement made a statement: "When I watched Arsenal's first Champions League game, I knew they could go far and the games against Barcelona and Inter Milan proved my predictions. Arsenal have world-class players in every position, Li Huan has the ability to change the score at any time, in short, they are very strong.

A month ago I wouldn't have bet a penny on Bayern to reach the Champions League final, and at this moment Bayern can beat any team, we have proven that many times, and in the Champions League final I am sure that the Bayern men will continue to prove it, and Van Gaal has shown that he is a great coach and that he can achieve this in one season at Bayern Munich that I could not have done back then. “

Bayern manager Hoeness also encouraged the players, saying, "There have been five trebles in Europe before, Celtic in 1967, Ajax in 1972, PSV Eindhoven in 1988, Manchester United in 1999, Hoffenheim in 2009, and I want you to be the sixth." In the same vein, I hope that Van Gaal will become the third manager in the history of the Champions League to lead two different teams to victory. I'm sure you can do it. You have this quality, and Bayern's history will remember you. ”

Arsenal's president, Hillwood, couldn't sit still in the face of Arsenal's current brilliant results, and he also stepped up to inspire his players to make history and win Arsenal's first Champions League title in 124 years.

Hillwood, who is in his seventies, said emotionally: "At the Bernabeu, Arsenal and Bayern Munich in Madrid, two giants of more than 100 years have met for the first time in the Champions Cup final, it can also be said that it was a chance encounter, this year we are basically the same, we have won the domestic league title, we are in the final sprint to the double, they are launching the final sprint to the treble." Bayern Munich and Arsenal each have great histories, and now for the sake of honour, in order to make history, we are preparing for the battle of Madrid, and whoever wins will add a lot of color to their national football.

I believe in the great Gunners lads, I believe in Li Huan, Cesc Fabregas, Van Persie...... Believe in the great Arsèna, believe in the great Gunners fans, God will bless them to break the shameful record of 124 years without a Champions League title in Arsenal, and they will add a golden cup of big ears to Arsenal's hall of honor, which is also the biggest dream of my 72-year-old man's life, otherwise I would not be blind to God. “
