The Champions League semi-finals are coming!

Arsenal are aware and ready to fight.

Wenger was full of confidence in the pre-match press conference and said loudly: "After a long and arduous effort, Arsenal have come to the most critical moment in both the league and the Champions League. I trust my lad They are ready to win glory for Arsenal and prove to the world the strength of Arsenal, we will not underestimate any opponent, our pursuit is to do our best!"

Wenger speaks for all Arsenal players.

Maybe at the end of the season, their mood will be very complicated, expecting, excited, nervous, and worrying about gains and losses, but all these are normal, and what they have to do now is to be the best of themselves!

Difficult times are easier to stimulate team cohesion. No matter what difficulties Arsenal have experienced this season, they have made the team more united than ever!

It is this unity that makes the entire Arsenal team twisted into one rope and work together to tide over the difficulties!

Ashley Cole and Campbell are still not back in the starting lineup, their condition is still recovering, the key game is just around the corner, Wenger will not rashly put pressure on the players and the whole team, sometimes he really lacks the risk Spirit, but at this time is not the time to take a risk!

On the night of the game, Highbury was unprecedentedly grand. Countless fans held up self-made slogans and banners in the stands. There were memories of stars, moments of great games, and support for stars. Love at Highbury!

I am deeply attached to this stadium.

Arsenal have announced that they will be moving to a new stadium next season!

The countdown is on to bid farewell to Highbury.

As far as the Champions League is concerned, today.Will be Arsenal's last European game at Highbury!

An era, the end of a long memory is coming!

Qin Xiong followed Henry and entered the field. He has not yet reached the kind of unforgettable emotion for Highbury. He has only been here for two years. For him, Highbury is still the Emirates Stadium next season. Did not condense the impulse of "life and death".

But when looking around the field.Seeing the Gunners supporters' love for Highbury all over the place will tug at a slight chord.

Highbury is his first step into the heart of European football.

Here, he is recognized, transformed from a supernova to a first-class star, maybe in another two years, he only needs to maintain the performance of these two seasons.He will be the undisputed superstar!

Look away.Qin Xiong's fighting spirit was majestic, and his expression was majestic like a god of war.

For the Champions League semi-finals, Arsenal naturally attached unprecedented importance.

The opponent Villarreal came to the away game today. Due to injuries, they could not send the strongest lineup. This is Arsenal's opportunity, and it is a godsend opportunity for Arsenal to advance to the final and take the lead!

It must be grasped, if the advantage cannot be established at home.Going to the away game, who dares to say that the battle at the Love Song Stadium will be easier than the Bernabeu battle?

"The first leg of the Champions League semi-final is about to begin. Arsenal and Villarreal, who have entered the semi-final for the first time in history, are head-to-head. The two teams have never reached the Champions League semi-final before. No matter who stands in the end, Whoever lies down, the two teams have already created and created the history of the club, and they deserve our applause and lofty respect!

Such a breakthrough is an admirable achievement.

Arsenal have been plagued by injuries this season, and the fans must have been deeply impressed by Qin Xiong and Henry alternately performing solo saviors in the early and mid-season.It was the personal performance of the two key stars that enabled Arsenal to not only rank first in the league until the end of the season.It can also achieve new breakthroughs in the Champions League!

Now Arsenal's situation has improved, Campbell and Ashley - Cole has returned from injury.But for the sake of caution, Wenger still put the two main players on the bench.

Villarreal's situation is just the opposite, they are away from home.

The suspension of goalkeeper Vieira, the injury of Gonzalo, the preferred central defender partner, bid farewell to this season, and the knee injury of Bolivia international Pena against Barcelona. The absence of these three defenders is simply fatal!

The only worry about Villarreal today is the defense. Can they withstand Arsenal's crazy and sharp attack?

Arsenal started 451 today.

Goalkeeper: Lehmann.

Defenders: Eboue, Toure, Senderos, Flamini.

Midfield: Ljungberg, Fabregas, Qin Xiong, Silva, Pires.

Forward: Henry.

Villarreal start 442.

Goalkeeper: Barbosa.

Defenders: Venta, Alvarez, Arsu, Aruabarena.

Midfield: Tacchinardi, Senna, Riquelme, Sorin.

Forwards: Jose Mari, Forlan.

The game will start immediately, and Arsenal will kick off first! "

It can be said that Villarreal has relied on the South American gang to move from a newly promoted La Liga team to a stage that is one step away from the top of Europe in less than 10 years.

Riquelme is the core, Fran, Senna, Sorin, Arua Barrena and others are all from South America, including their head coach Chilean engineer Pellegrini, which may be Villarreal A gamble in the club has created an unprecedented brilliance!

Due to problems in the defense in this game, Pellegrini's formation actually pays attention to defense.

For example, Sorin, the left midfielder, is a wide player with both offense and defense. He also played as a full-back when he was in the Argentine national team.

Pellegrini obviously pays attention to the protection of the wing position. Senna defends in the middle, and Tacchinardi is beside him, focusing on assisting defense in the penalty area. In fact, he does not defend Pires against the position, but guards the wide players. Cut inside the main pass.

After the game started, it was Qin Xiong who faced Riquelme.

Arsenal made a tentative attack after the opening.

Qin Xiong originally cared about Riquelme in the midfield, at least he would care about it when attacking.

Because of a frontal attack, his opponent is a defensive midfielder, but once the opponent has a central midfielder or even a midfielder who focuses on defense like Lampard, Gerrard, or Scholes returns to the defense, Qin Xiong will be behind him. Harassment, this will definitely make him encounter great difficulties in the frontal impact.

However, what surprised Qin Xiong was that Riquelme hardly interfered with him.

The opponent would follow a few steps symbolically, but after Qin Xiong ran nimbly, Riquelme simply stopped following.

Qin Xiong didn't know that Riquelme belonged to the classical attacking midfielder. He lacked speed and explosive power, and his physical fitness was not particularly strong, and his enthusiasm for defensive participation was pitifully limited.

This discovery made Qin Xiong more confident about the game! (to be continued~^~)
