4 Chapter Forty: The Brightest Star in the Night Sky
If you haven't watched this game, they will focus on "Arsenal beat Bayern Munich away, the advantage of away goals will be rewarded, and the German chariot will be eliminated to advance to the quarterfinals."And those who watched this thrilling game will definitely focus on "Li made two shots and one pass, making the Allianz Arena silent. A magical shot was staged at the last minute of stoppage time, lore Bayern!".

In the press conference after the game, Wenger can be regarded as elated.Since Bayern Munich was drawn in the quarter-finals, almost everyone is bad-mouthing Arsenal.And when Arsenal lost a zero to two in the first leg at the Emirates Stadium, this bad-mouthing reached its climax.

No one is optimistic about the prospects of Arsenal, almost everyone thinks that the Gunners will be eliminated.

"Eliminate your sister!!"

If possible, Wenger would like to say this to the media!
"Bayern Munich is very strong. We played a very difficult game. Fortunately, the players were united and overcame the difficulties. In the end, we won a victory and the team can advance to the next round of the Champions League. Li's performance? Question? Anyone who has watched this game should have a shot in their hearts, so there is no need to ask me. Did Arteta’s penalty kick fly? It doesn’t matter, even among great players, it is impossible for every penalty kick to be successful He scored and he was up against the greatest goalkeeper in Germany. Wilshere? He played well and scored a goal. He is still young and the experience of these great games can help him develop." Actual That's what Wenger said in his post-match press conference.

The reporters collectively rolled their eyes. The reason why Wenger is so calm is because Arsenal won. If Arsenal loses, do you think he will put on a straight face and act like the whole world owes him fifty cents? .

Wenger is indeed very happy, as can be seen from his smile from time to time.You must know that facing the team's poor performance in recent years, Wenger did not frown less, and the number of times he saw him laughing in nine years can be counted on the fingers.And in this short half-hour post-match press conference, he almost never stopped smiling.

"Bayern Munich is a great team, one of the top in Germany and in Europe as a whole, as evidenced by the trophies in their room of honor. The whole team is very excited to win against such a team. In fact, we have been looking forward to this game for a long time. It is always exciting to play against a strong opponent, isn’t it? My performance? Compared with this, I am more happy that the team can advance to the next round. Arsenal is a whole. Losing and winning are not personal sins or credits. Behind every victory is the hard work of the whole team. "As the best of the game Players, Li Zihan naturally attended the post-match press conference inevitably.As he has always been in front of the media, he handled the reporters' questions and various traps with ease, without any flaws.

"To lose is to lose, there's nothing to say about that. Arsenal played better than us, so they won the game. It's not about winning, that's the beauty of football. Lee? Of course, he He is a very good player. His future will be one of those great players standing on the top of the world. His skills are very comprehensive. In the past, his shortcoming was physical confrontation, but after nearly a season between Arsenal and the Premier League He has overcome this problem. And his biggest advantage is his sense of calm in front of the goal and his desire for victory. I think this is more threatening than his speed." Although Guardiola lost the game Not happy, but he still highly affirmed Li Zihan.

Then he talked about his problem: "I think we haven't performed well, and we only scored one goal in the whole game. This is not in line with Bayern Munich's offensive firepower. So we will solve it for the rest of the season. These problems that came out violently in this game, and then put the focus on the middle of the league. Now that we are out, we have to prepare for the league with all our strength. After we adjust, we will come back next season.”

Li Zihan almost rolled his eyes beside him.

Girls in the league, you are already 2 points ahead of No.[-] Dortmund in the Bundesliga, and you need to focus more on the league. Do you want other teams to live?

This focus battle ended like this, but the whirlwind of this game has just begun.

The next day, everyone's media had this game on the headlines, in which Li Zihan became the only protagonist.

"We didn't lose to Arsenal, but lost to the Chinese - Li!" "Munich Daily" expressed the aspirations of all Bayern fans.

The "Bild" showed a photo of Li Zihan picking up the ball from the goal behind Neuer in two games and a photo of Li Zihan, naked to the waist, holding the jersey in one hand and pointing at the darkened ground with the other after completing the lore. A picture of the sky was on the front page.Coincidentally, just above Li Zihan's finger, there is a star shining in the dark night sky that cannot be ignored, while other stars around it are faintly visible under the influence of dark clouds.

In response to this, "Bild" wrote: "The brightest star in the night sky!"

It is a very vivid illustration of Li Zihan's performance in this game, and the dazzling Bayern Munich is just a foil for him, just like other stars looming around the brightest star.

British football and German football have always been a pair of enemies, whether in the national team or in club competitions.The encounter between two countries is always full of "grievances". British football looks down on German football, and German football looks down on British football.

Therefore, Li Zihan, who plays in England, can make the German media praise him so much. It is conceivable how outstanding his performance and ability are.

Facing the enthusiasm of all the media in Europe and Asia for this game, it directly caused no one to pay attention to several games in the same period.

In the other eighth-final games, Manchester City once again fell to the feet of Barcelona. They were killed by the Western Super League giants with a score of [-] to [-] in two rounds.Paris Saint-Germain, the newly promoted giants of Ligue [-], defeated the German powerhouse Bayer Leverkusen with a total score of [-] to [-] in two rounds and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.In the contest between Atletico Madrid and Milan, Atletico Madrid, who just joined the "Western Super League", laughed at the end. With Diego Costa's monstrous performance, Milan continued to push Milan into the abyss of depravity [-]-[-] in two rounds. Now, even if Diego Costa scored a hat-trick at home against AC Milan in the second round, Li Zihan's status could not be shaken, even though he scored an extra goal.But when Li Zihan staged such a shocking reversal in the face of the powerful "Universe Ren", the striker Costa also had to kneel.

Borussia Dortmund, another German powerhouse that qualified in the same group as Arsenal, also advanced smoothly. They beat the Russian Super League powerhouse Zenit St. Petersburg [-]-[-] in two rounds.For the second round of the knockout round, Zenit also specially invited the Portuguese marshal Boas, who had been dismissed from Tottenham before, and hoped that Boas could lead the team out of the predicament.However, in the end, the fate of being out of the game could not be saved, and Boas cannot be blamed for this.In fact, in this game coached by Boas, Zenit had a two-to-one away game against a moderate upset to kill the Hornets, but Zenit did not live up to expectations before, and they lost at home. A two to four, allowing the opponent to directly get four away goals.
After some twists and turns, Manchester United finally entered the next round smoothly.They lost [-]-[-] to Olympiacos in the first leg, but returned home to beat the opponent [-]-[-].

Here I have to say that Moyes is a real cockroach, no matter how hard he fights, he will not die. If the result after this game is that Manchester United is eliminated by Olympiacos, it is conceivable that Moyes' dismissal is at most 48 minutes. , but did not expect to bring him back to life again.
The game between Chelsea and the "local tycoon" Galasatare also had the last laugh for the Blues. After they drew [-]-[-] away in the first round and gained an away goal advantage, they returned home and scored [-]-[-] cleanly. Drogba, who eliminated the opponent and returned to Stamford Bridge, is embarrassing.

The match between Schalke [-] and Real Madrid is also without any suspense. In the first round, Real Madrid won a [-]-[-] away game. Under this premise, it is impossible for Real Madrid to have all substitutes. Being overturned by the German miners, even if the Schalke [-] players were possessed by aliens in the second round, it is unlikely.In fact, the total score of the two teams over the two rounds was nine to two.
And the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League are freshly released at this moment, with Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain.

The Premier League and La Liga occupy a dominant position, and the two leagues have won six places. It has to be said that La Liga and the Premier League are the two most influential leagues now, but in terms of competitiveness, the Premier League is still strong.

La Liga is contracted by Real Madrid and Barcelona. This season, Atletico Madrid has suddenly emerged.After the Bundesliga saved itself in Bayern Munich, it was still contracted by the Bundesliga giants. Dortmund only contracted for two seasons before the contract expired
Ligue [-]. Naturally, it was contracted by the big local tycoon Paris Saint-Germain.

Needless to say, Serie A, since the Calciopoli incident, Juventus has re-contracted this degenerate once world's first league
Oh, by the way, there is no Serie A team in the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League, and there is only AC Milan in the quarterfinals.
If Serie A continues to develop like this, after two or three seasons, they will probably be behind Ligue [-] and become the serious European fifth league.
Because Ligue [-] still has a big Paris that can give them points in the European war, and Serie A. Unless they can win at least two seats in the UEFA Cup semi-finals.
