In the Arsenal team to Portugal, Dongfang Chen was not seen, which made Arsenal fans very worried, they don't know what happened to Dongfang Chen? The official website of the Arsenal team has never given an explanation, which makes them feel very bad.

The Braga team is a lot more relaxed, without the threat of Dongfangchen's super nuclear bomb, they think that this game will be much easier, and they naturally see the hope of winning.

Before the game, Braga's head coach Yaldim said in an interview with media reporters: "Dongfang Chen is undoubtedly the most dangerous player in the Arsenal team, and his absence is definitely a good thing for our Braga team, so that our chances of Braga winning have increased many times, and I believe that we will win this game." ”

It can be seen that the head coach of the Braga team, Járdim, is very serious about this victory.

Because, now the situation in the eighth group of the Champions League is like this, Arsenal is currently in the first place in the group with twelve points, and in second place is Shakhtar Donetsk with nine points. In third place is none other than Braga, with six points.

With two rounds remaining in the Champions League group stage, Braga have a chance of progressing, and as long as they win their final two rounds, they will be able to qualify.

Therefore, this game Braga team is full of very strong expectations.

Braga and Arsenal have just one previous head-to-head meeting, in the first leg of this season's UEFA Champions League group stage, when Arsenal thrashed their opponents 6-0 at the Emirates Stadium at home.

The Arsenal team has a great advantage, but at that time, Dongfang Chen's performance was very bad, and Braga had never seen Dongfang Chen's power. However, this still does not prevent Braga from ranking Dongfang Chen as the most dangerous Arsenal player.

Well, now Dongfang Chen can't play, which naturally makes the Braga people a lot easier.

In this game, Braga will have to go all out, they must beat Arsenal to retain any hope of qualifying, otherwise they have no hope, and they will have to fight Arsenal in this game.

Braga and Arsenal are still quite related, because Braga is known as the "Arsenal do Minho", because the team's head coach Josh Saab returned to Portugal after playing at the Highbury Stadium in the 1930s, he changed the team's red and white short-sleeved jersey, and even changed the name of the youth team to Arsenal do Braga!

Therefore, Braga and the Arsenal team are still quite related, but they have not had any contact recently, so this relationship has naturally faded.

On the day of the match, Braga fans were very excited, they were very excited to look forward to this match, they hoped that this game could be won in the end, so that Braga could retain the last glimmer of hope of qualifying.

For this match, Sky Sports England also broadcast live.

"Hello spectators, fans, and friends, today we bring you a match in the fifth round of this season's UEFA Champions League group stage, against the home team Braga and the away team Arsenal from England." Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray immediately spoke out loud.

"Hello fans, I'm Martin Taylor, and I'm going to partner with Andy today to explain this game." Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said immediately.

At this time, the Braga Stadium was already overcrowded, and there were almost 30,000 people in it.

The Braga Stadium is located on the Castro Hill in Braga, where you can see the whole of Braga and see the city of Braga, which is a very nice place.

"First of all, let me give you an overview of the starting line-up for today's home team Braga," Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor, "Today's Braga coach Yaldim lined up in a four-three-three formation, with Felipe in the goalkeeper's position. ”

'In the back four, it's Rodriguez, Moisés, Ederson and Garcia. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor looked at the materials in his hand and explained them carefully.

"In the midfield three it's Vatiño, Salino and Aguilar." Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor introduced.

'In the front three, it's Matus, Allan and Lima. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor explained, "That's the starting line-up for today's home team Braga. ”

"Okay, now I'm going to give you a brief overview of the Arsenal starting XI for today." Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray immediately explained: "Arsène Wenger fielded a 4231 formation today. ”

When they heard this, the fans at the scene were not too surprised, because they knew that Dongfang Chen did not come to the away team with the team, Dongfang Chen was injured and could not appear in the game lineup, and this formation was naturally going to change.

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray continued: "When I first got this starting line-up, I was also shocked, I didn't expect the starting line-up to be like this. ”

Arsenal fans have been intrigued by Andy Gray, and they also want to know what the Arsenal starting line-up is like for this game.

Andy Gray didn't sell it anymore, he immediately said: "It was Fabianski who appeared in the Arsenal goalkeeper position today, and he is now sitting firmly in the position of the main goalkeeper of the Arsenal team, squeezing Almunia and Szczesny on the bench." ”

There are not too many surprises in this position, after all, Fabianski's performance has been excellent lately, and his appearance in the starting line-up is understandable. So Andy Gray's surprise must be in the next lineup.

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray was immediate: "The back four for Arsenal today were Eboue, Squeerage, Vermaelen and Gibbs. ”

Arsenal fans were also shocked when they heard this, they didn't expect such a big change in the Arsenal team's backline, and it seems that Andy Gray was referring to this surprise.

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said: "This is a bit of a big change in the backline, central defender Squealaci is in the starting lineup again, the first few times his appearance is not very ideal, I didn't expect him to appear in the starting list again and again." ”

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray continued: "There's also a change at full-back, which is that Klich is on the bench, but we haven't heard of it, but it's a matter of rotation? ”

Last weekend's match between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur did go on a bit of a miserable time, the players on both sides fought fiercely, and even many people were exhausted, and it makes sense to rotate them today.

Moreover, it is not surprising that Arsenal will travel to Birmingham City to face Aston Villa at the weekend.

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray continued: "In the midfield position, it's the pressure on Song and Cesc Fabregas. ”

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said: "These two are not what everyone expected, they are still starters. Next up are the three starters who started the attack, Theo Walcott, Rosicky and Wilshere. ”

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said: "Yes, you heard it right, it was Wilshere who started today, and Comrade Nasri was on the bench waiting for his chance. ”

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray speculated: "Maybe it's because the door to a winter transfer is about to open, and now Nasri is making a lot of noise and wants to leave Arsenal." Manchester City, on the other hand, is desperately tempting with high salaries, and Arsène Wenger put Nasri on the bench in order to knock Nasri. ”

Indeed, Arsène Wenger is very careful in the use of Nasri, usually he will not let Nasri start, unless the opponent is very strong, and Arsenal must win the game, Nasri can only wait on the bench for an opportunity.

This is also a point that Nasri is very dissatisfied with now, the low salary in the Arsenal team, and the fact that there are so few opportunities in this game, makes him very unhappy and dissatisfied, so he wants to leave the Arsenal team even more.

Arsenal fans are not surprised by this, they think it is understandable, and it seems that what will surprise Andy Gray is the change in the backline.

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray continued: "And the player sent by the Arsenal team in the front line today is Dongfang Chen! ”

The Arsenal fans in the stadium and in front of the TV were shocked, they were stunned, they all thought they had heard it wrong.

After all, there were various indications before the game that Dongfang Chen was injured and would not appear in the game with Braga, and even Dongfang Chen did not go to Portugal, so how could he appear in the game with Braga? This must be a mistake, it can't be Dongfang Chen.

However, Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray continued: "Yes, you may think you misheard. When I first got this list, I was also shocked, and I thought I was mistaken. But after confirming it many times, I realized that I was not mistaken, and Dongfang Chen was indeed the starter today. ”

Hearing Andy Gray say this, Arsenal fans understood that Dongfang Chen was really going to start, and they were surprised.
