(three more today)
The date of the game is approaching day by day, and the emotions between the four teams participating in the semi-finals are gradually heating up. Mourinho began to attack Arsenal one after another at the press conference for being taken care of by the referee, and said that Li Huan'Xiao Li The name of "flying knife without fail" is all due to too many free kicks at the front of the penalty area awarded by the referee.

"I've never seen a team get as many free-kicks from the front of the box as Arsenal, not even a team that takes care of as often as Barcelona. Not the same, but at Arsenal, free-kicks are the same as penalties, which can easily give some referees an excuse to take sides, and I hope some referees will be as cautious in awarding free-kicks as penalties."

Mourinho is very powerful, and when he attacked Arsenal and the referee, he also brought Barcelona along. He definitely doesn't think there are too many enemies. For Mourinho, he only thinks there are too few enemies.

Arsenal also know what medicine is sold in Mourinho's gourd. Mourinho has always been known for his defense. Whether in Chelsea, Inter Milan or Real Madrid, he has adopted intensive defense and quick counterattacks against Barcelona and Arsenal. tactics, but Li Huan's free kick is the deadly nemesis of dense defense. Why can the success of defensive counterattack tactics be guaranteed? Mourinho must ensure that Arsenal free kicks are rarely given at the front of the penalty area, so he put pressure on the referee before the game It became part of Mourinho's tactics.

In the face of Mourinho's aggressive tactics against referees, Wenger will not ignore them. He has played against Mourinho many times in the Premier League and understands the strength of Mourinho's defense. Arsenal have more to lose than win.

Wenger held a press conference and stated that Mourinho's behavior has crossed the line and exceeded the scope of fair competition. The fans know best whether Arsenal has been taken care of by the referee. It is not Mourinho who has the final say. He is a world-class coach. There shouldn't be such nonsense without evidence, and the lack of demeanor and self-restraint of a club like Real Madrid will disappoint fans all over the world.

But Wenger's accusation did not let Mourinho give up his attacks on the referee and Arsenal. For a madman, victory is the most important thing, and the shit of demeanor is not even considered.When UEFA appointed German referee Stark to serve as the referee for Real Madrid and Arsenal, Mourinho said that Li Huan had played in the Bundesliga. The referee Stark was from Germany, and it was probably Hoffenheim. fans, he hoped that UEFA would best change a referee.

UEFA naturally refuses to change referees for Mourinho, not to mention that the referee is neither British nor French. If the referee is changed because of Mourinho's pressure, Arsenal will also protest.But in order to eliminate the bad influence, the German referee Stark also had to stand up and explain that he is not a fan of Li Huan and Hoffenheim. He has been a Dortmund fan since middle school.Moreover, his law enforcement will only be carried out according to the rules, not based on feelings.

The game was getting closer and closer. Two days before the game, Arsenal chartered a flight to Madrid to participate in the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid.

This is the third time Arsenal have come to Madrid in the past ten years. Fortunately, they have won the previous two times. The first time they defeated Real Madrid and reached the final, and the second time they defeated Bayern to win the first Champions League in history. , This time they came to the Bernabeu to participate in the Champions League semi-finals, will the god of luck bless them again?
Because Real Madrid coach Mourinho provoked the incident before the game, the fans who came to the airport to pick up the plane included not only Arsenal fans, but also many Real Madrid fans. They used banners and verbal methods to reprimand Arsenal as a team Refereeing the team, and clashed with the Arsenal fans who picked up the plane. Finally, with the help of security and police, the Arsenal players escaped smoothly.

With the encounter at the airport, Wenger did not give the Arsenal players a holiday like he did in Barcelona. He worried that the players would be attacked by the radical fans of Real Madrid. In addition, Arsenal and Real Madrid also warned their fans to exercise restraint and avoid conflicts. , so as not to affect the game.

British football hooligans are famous all over the world. Real Madrid fans have become more and more extreme after Mourinho came. The Madrid police had to temporarily deploy additional police officers to maintain law and order in the capital to prevent fan brawls. The Bernabéu Stadium also urgently increased Two hundred security guards and three hundred riot police officers came to maintain order in the stadium.

Arsenal was tight on the outside and loose on the inside. The players did not train in the afternoon. The players played cards, chatted, watched TV, played games and slept in the hotel. They had a short meeting at night, and then went to the Bernabeu to get used to the venue.In order to deal with the reporters, Arsenal was interviewed by coach Wenger alone.

On the second day after arriving in Madrid, Arsenal became nervous. The players trained three times a day, and two team meetings were held in between. Chairman Hill Wood, executive chairman Gazidis, and owner Kroenke all came to the hotel Visit the players and encourage the players to break the curse of no one defending the Champions League.

At noon the next day, UEFA held a pre-match press conference. The two big-name coaches, Mourinho and Wenger, both came to the scene. Demeanor, smiling handshakes, and greeting each other, as if they have been friends for many years.

Facing the current No. [-] team in the world, and facing Wenger, who was trampled by him back then, Mourinho had a funny expression, winking and picking his nostrils. Take the semi-finals to heart.

"I don't know how Arsenal feel right now, I just know how we feel. With or without the pre-match spittle, the spirit of our preparation for this game is the same. I think it will be a fair and just game, Stark was a great referee and I'm sure Arsenal didn't think we had any home advantage...."

At the beginning of the game, Mourinho brought the topic to the referee again, but his tone was relaxed, as if Arsenal and Wenger had provoked the incident first.

"I understand the importance of referees to Arsenal. As an artistic football and technical style of play, Arsenal relies heavily on the referee's law enforcement standards. I understand why coach Wenger is so nervous about referees. I also understand, but we must rely on Strength, not referee's law enforcement standards, I think coach Wenger, who has been immersed in football all his life, should understand this truth..."

"...the Champions League is a different game, anything can happen. I think at this stage of the Champions League semi-final there is no favourite, and we have players on both sides who know how to play important games. And it worked. If we played well enough, created enough chances and were the better side, I would be happy for a draw. And if they were the side with the upper hand, then I would be even more happy for the draw. gone."

Facing Mourinho's shamelessness, Wenger is used to it, but it doesn't mean he is not angry. The professor said angrily: "I have never seen such a person who confuses black and white. The referee is Jose. Murray Coach Neo proposed it, and now he has pushed it on us. I think a gentleman, a celebrity, and the head coach of a club like Real Madrid should not behave like this. If it were me, I would feel ashamed... "

Seeing Mourinho's ignorance, Wenger was even more angry, but he suppressed his anger and continued as rationally as possible: "I am very satisfied with being able to reach this stage of this competition. , This is already a kind of success. I think there is no difference between the team that reached the semi-finals and the team that won the championship in the end, only the state and luck.

We are facing a team that is at the peak of the season.This is the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid, one of the best teams in Europe.We are one step away from the final at Wembley and it is a huge challenge for us.We will do our best to face this giant who has won the European Championship 9 times. "

The professor thought that his restraint would make Mourinho stop attacking him, but Mourinho deliberately wanted to provoke him. When the reporter asked questions, Mourinho said again: "Of course Professor Wenger can be a celebrity. A gentleman, because he is easier than me, no matter how long he has not won a championship, he can be his rich coach steadily, with a top annual salary, and I have to leave class if I don’t win a championship for a year, that’s why The reason why I can't be a gentleman, I will not be hypocritical, I will say what I have, if I don't win the championship, I will say that I failed, instead of making excuses, saying that I didn't have a championship because I played beautifully The price paid for football and developing young players."

Mourinho's words really annoyed the professor. Before the reporter asked him a question, the professor stood up and said to the five or six hundred reporters in the audience: "It's not suitable for me and him to sit together at a press conference. You can ask my assistant coach any questions."

After finishing speaking, the professor walked away with a livid face, leaving only the stunned reporters and the treacherous Real Madrid coach Mourinho. In the heart of the Portuguese, attacking the referee and angering Wenger are part of his tactics , because he knows the gap between Real Madrid and Arsenal. Real Madrid can't even play Barcelona. How can they stop Arsenal who eliminated Barcelona? If he wants to advance, he must let this Arsenal be in an abnormal state. Now, his plan It has been done, he has done everything that the head coach should do, and the rest depends on the performance of his own players on the field. After all, as Li Huan said, no matter how good he is, he can't play in person.
