Chapter 967 Gunner Myth Super Bowl

After the second round, Arsenal began to prepare for the European Super Cup.The European Super Cup (UEFA Super Cup), before 1999, the champion of the European Cup Winners' Cup and the Champions League champion competed for the championship. A one-match, one-leg event at the beginning of the season (around August) and has been held annually at the Stade Louis II in Monaco since 8.

The format of the Super Cup final is the same as any European club competition final. If the score is tied during normal time, including two 15-minute overtime games, there will be two [-]-minute overtime games.

The European Super Cup is a championship that Arsenal has never won. If the Champions League champion is the king of Europe, then the European Super Cup champion is the king of kings. For this championship, Arsenal did not regard it as a tasteless event. It is imperative.This is not just Arsenal's perfectionist style at work, but also that they need to use this trophy to determine their status as European hegemony.

The winner of the first Europa League after the restructuring was Atlético de Madrid from La Liga. The ingredients are too large, even if you are stronger than them, even if you are fully prepared, you may not be able to defeat your opponent.

Atlético de Madrid defeated Fulham in the Premier League to win the Europa League. This Super Cup was once again contested by teams from the Premier League and La Liga. In the last ten years of the battle between the Premier League and La Liga, the British media before the game were clamoring for Arsenal to teach the Spaniard a lesson.

But Arsenal dare not be careless. La Liga teams are very skilled. Atletico Madrid can only be regarded as second-rate in La Liga. However, in the Champions League, giants like Manchester United in the Premier League have not been able to take advantage of Atletico Madrid. Played the Yellow Submarine Villarreal, although they were lucky enough to advance, but it was only a small victory with one goal, and the away game was very ugly.

What's more, there are two superstar players in the Atletico Madrid team, the World Cup Golden Globe winner Forlan and Argentine Prince Aguero. Therefore, even if Arsenal became the Champions League champion, Wenger did not dare to underestimate Atletico Madrid. Serious preparations were made before the game.

Although Arsenal is bound to win the Super Cup, they are not prepared to use all the main players in the league to play this game. They have a lot of games this season. Wenger must arrange players in a coordinated way. They will use the main players to play in all games. It is easy Injury, and secondly, the substitute players will also have resentment.Now there are many unstable factors in the locker room. No matter how authoritative Wenger is, he cannot ignore the players' opinions at all.

The league played two rounds, and in order to show punishment, Fabregas came off the bench. This time, facing Fabregas' hometown team, Wenger must arrange for him to start the game to comfort the Spaniard. As a Spaniard, he is familiar with the style and style of play of La Liga teams. It is more suitable to use him than Arshavin. There are also players like Eboue, Rosicky, and Sagna. They should all be played in such games Otherwise, once the main players are injured and they have not played for a long time, they will not be able to find their status, which may lead to a decline in the team's strength.

In terms of style of play, Arsenal is still dominated by me. Although Aguero called Atletico Madrid the strongest team in Europe before the game, everyone knows that Arsenal is the strongest team in Europe. It is impossible for Professor Wenger to play for Madrid. To change the tactical play, he mainly let the players focus on the opponent's arrows Aguero and Forlan, both of them are players who can decide the game in an instant. Arrow figures like Luo don't care either.

In addition to strength, for Arsenal, the advantage is that their league has already started, and the players have returned to the game early, and their bodies and conditions are stronger than those of La Liga teams that have not yet participated.

Starting from the second round of the Premier League, the media of the two countries also intensively "bombed" the participants of this event, and interviewed the heavyweight stars of both sides to warm up the Super Cup match.

The British "Sun" summed up the five reasons why fans must watch this European Super Cup before the game, "First, who will win the Super Cup? Wang, one is the sheet team that won the Europa League for the first time. The fans will naturally wait and see who can win the championship trophy that represents the European champions. The second is the dispute between Fran and Li Huan. The club, one in the national team, have both contributed to their respective teams and made their performances remembered. Now, two contenders for the best player in different competitions are finally going head-to-head, Which level of player is more powerful is also a big question that fans are very concerned about. Third, in the past five years, La Liga teams have reached three finals and won three cups. Will today's Arsenal break the La Liga team's European Super League Cup dominance, this is the most concerned issue for neutral fans in Spain and the United Kingdom. Fourth, whether Arsenal can win the fourth championship of the year and become an unprecedented quadruple champion. After winning the Champions League, the league championship, the community After the Shield Cup, Arsenal is marching towards the unprecedented quadruple crown. If they can win this game, they will be one step away from the unprecedented 5 crowns. Fifth, the law of Li Huan winning the championship. The Spanish media pointed out that Li Huan entered his career After that, as long as you enter the final, you will win the championship. This is called Li Huan's law by the fans. In this final, will Li Huan's law come into effect again?"

The British "Daily Mail" interviewed Aguero, the core player of Atletico Madrid. The Argentine golden boy said confidently in the interview, "We are the best team in the world, and Arsenal has great players. , but we have it too. Our attacking power is enough to make any opponent shudder. We know that Atletico Madrid can only beat their opponents if they are perfect. But the whole team has such purpose and determination! We know how difficult this game is, but With proper preparation, anything can happen."

Another protagonist of Atletico Madrid, Fran, also performed very high-profile. When he was interviewed by a reporter from his country, he said: "For us, this is the key battle of the whole season! Although the opponent has the strongest strength, but We're ready to win, and we're actually capable of winning."

As a player born in Spain, Fabregas is very familiar with Atletico Madrid. The Spanish golden boy also reminded his teammates to pay attention to Forlan, "They have a lot of stars, Forlan, Aguero, Ujfa Lucy, we have a great understanding on the pitch. Forlan is a fantastic player, he has proved it in any team, he can shoot with both feet, in Monte Carlo he was our number one enemy.

Because Spain won the World Cup in South Africa, Fabregas, who assisted the only goal in the final, may also win the Golden Globe Award. A reporter asked Fabregas if he thought about winning this year's World Football Ballon d'Or At that time, Fabregas said: ""The order in my head will not change, first the team and then myself.I won't think about the Golden Ball, because I am willing to win my own honor only after the team has achieved results. ""

The last Golden Globe winner Li Huan did not participate in the World Cup in South Africa, so even if he led Arsenal to win the double crown, the media also believed that Li Huan might not be able to defend the Golden Globe this season, because the Golden Globe usually goes to the championship ball in the competition year on the team.Before the game, "World Sports News" conducted an interview with Li Huan. Li Huan did not mention the World Cup or the Golden Globe Award, but only talked about the European Super Cup itself.

"I am very happy. We have won three titles besides the FA Cup. Now we are heading towards the fourth title, the UEFA Super Cup. This is a great title. It always reminds me of the king of kings. I think it is more technical than the Club World Cup. Atletico Madrid is a great team, they have a great history, and in the Europa League, they also had a lot of good performances. I don't think the quality of the Champions League is better than The Europa League is high, which proves that the Champions League champion will definitely be able to beat the Europa League champion. This requires us to work hard."

When he heard that Li Huan's law existed, Li Huan told the reporter with a smile that it was the first time he had heard it, "I didn't know this thing existed, but we hope it can really become a reality, so that we can win all the championships, My biggest wish is to hold the cup until my hands soften."

Atletico Madrid has gone through ups and downs in recent years. The coach has changed from Aguirre to Resino and Flores, but the team's main lineup has no ability to supplement.Last season was on the verge of relegation, and the fans and the upper echelons of the club were panicked and shaken.However, when the number one shareholder, Hill, delegated power to Chairman Cereso and let Flores reorganize the team's defense, Atletico Madrid's record rose sharply, and the cup played better and better, and finally won the championship.Regarding this game, the chairman of Atletico Madrid, Cerezo, said, "After 48 years without a European championship, we are back to the top of Europe this year. This is our greatest motivation and good news. To beat Arsenal under Reis, we have a strong team, not just Forlán and Aguero."

Arsenal's chairman Hill Wood naturally supports Arsenal unreservedly. Hill Wood told reporters, "Our goal is to win all the championships. No team can stop us. I believe in Arsene and Li Huan. All difficulties will be ruled out."
