Chapter 378 The Horrible Record

"This is the eighth time in Barcelona's history that they have entered the Champions League final, and in the previous seven times, Barcelona should have won four championships." The last decade is the peak period of Barcelona.

In the 05-06 season, 08-09 season, and 10-11 season, Barcelona broke into the Champions League final three times. In these three finals, Barcelona won the final victory and won the championship.

而且这三次还有一个非常有意思的情况，那就是巴塞罗那这三次决赛的对手都来自英超，05-06赛季是阿森纳，08-09和10-11赛季都是曼联。

Barcelona can definitely be called the nemesis of the Premier League, and it is also the team with the deepest grievances with the Premier League teams. Three teams in the traditional semi-finals have grievances with Barcelona.

"Yes, Barcelona has a lot of experience. There are even players in the team who played against Arsenal in the 05-06 season. In contrast, Arsenal only has one experience in the Champions League final, and they still lost to Barcelona."

After coming to Berlin, the two teams still produced some eye-catching news, even the pre-match interviews arranged by UEFA.

Barcelona is leading the captain Harvey, and Harvey is also the player who was there last time the two teams played against each other, while Wenger is leading Mertesacker on the other side.

Harvey is not a provocative character, let alone Mertesacker. As a German player, lip service has never been the German's strong point.

"In addition to the meeting in the final, the two teams also played against each other in the knockout rounds, namely the quarter-finals of the 09-10 season and the quarter-finals of the 10-11 season. These encounters all ended with Arsenal being eliminated." From these records, we can know how disadvantaged Arsenal is against Barcelona.

Inside the home team's dressing room at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Arsenal's players were focusing on coach Arsene Wenger.

"Ignore the opponent in this game, follow our own rhythm" Barcelona's strongest point is offense, while Arsenal's strongest point this season is defense, so this is a typical contradictory contest.

"I know you are nervous," Wenger suddenly changed the subject.

In fact, it wasn't that Wenger wanted to transfer, but Wenger found that most of the disciples looking at him had the word "nervous" in their eyes and expressions.

"I'm not nervous at all," Li Shou immediately denied.

"I know you're not nervous, but not everyone is like you," Wenger said.

"Why don't you make a replacement?" Li Shou's voice cast more than a dozen pairs of eyes on him, with a murderous look.

"This is your own problem, don't look at me like that," Li Shou shrugged and spread his hands.

Although Li Shou is very humble in the face of interviews, as Li Shou's teammate, after spending a season with Li Shou, the Arsenal players have basically understood Li Shou's true character.

"Papapa~~~" Wenger clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention to him.

"Don't worry, the list has been handed in, and it's too late to change it now." It turned out that Wenger made up for it.

"Hahaha" Li Shou couldn't help laughing.

Li Shou and Wenger's double spring completely attracted the attention of other Arsenal players. As the attention shifted, the nervousness of the Arsenal players gradually disappeared.

"You see, as long as you don't think too much, you won't be nervous. The Champions League final is indeed a very important game, but guys, this game is just a game. Besides, I am standing behind you. You think Barcelona can really break through the goals I guard," Li Shou said with a restrained smile.

Some people's self-confidence can infect those around them, and Li Shou is undoubtedly such a person, because he spent a season telling his teammates around him how good he is.

Looking at Li Shou who took his job, Wenger's eyes were full of appreciation instead of dissatisfaction. At this moment, Wenger even wanted to hand over the captain's armband to Li Shou.

In fact, Arteta, Mertesacker and others are not suitable to be the captain, but in the current Arsenal, there is no one suitable to be the captain at all, so Wenger chose Arteta.

But at this moment, Wenger has a new decision, but Wenger's decision is not to immediately hand over the captain's armband to Li Shou, nor will he deprive Arteta of the captain's armband. Everything will have to wait until the new season.

Li Shou's words still hold a lot of weight in the current Arsenal team, and Li Shou's words are also true. With him, Arsenal really don't need to be nervous, because Li Shou will block all the opponent's shots.

Arsenal have completed the final preparations here, and the same is true for Barcelona on the other side. Although Barcelona has a brilliant record against Arsenal in the past, these victories have nothing to do with Enrique.

"Arsenal is very strong, especially in defense. Arsenal has never conceded a goal this season, so guys, don't be fooled by forgotten records, that is in the past tense." Enrique is very cautious and careful.

To be honest, Enrique still couldn't find any good way to break Li Shou's goal, and Enrique also doubted in his heart whether his team could break Li Shou's goal.

Barcelona is indeed the strongest offensive team in today's football. They have the world's best player Messi, the world's top three striker Suarez, and Neymar, who is known as the leader of Brazil's new generation.

Don't forget, Real Madrid's offensive line that lost to Arsenal is no worse than Barcelona, ​​Ronaldo is as famous as Messi, Bale is no worse than Neymar, maybe Benzema is not as good as Suarez in goals, but in a tactical sense. Surpass Suarez.

Real Madrid's offensive ability in midfield is better than Barcelona's. Rodriguez, Kroos and Isco are all very good players. Barcelona's Harvey is already old and has gradually withdrawn from the starting lineup this season. Harvey did not start in this final.

Enrique is worried about Li Shou, but Barcelona's strikers are eager to face Li Shou. Now Li Shou has become the target of all offensive players. If he can score against Li Shou, will he be better than those players blocked by Li Shou?

Especially for Messi, Ronaldo has been catching up in the last two seasons, which has put a lot of pressure on Messi. However, with Ronaldo and Real Madrid eliminated, Messi's pressure is much less. If Messi can use goals to help the team win the final in the next game, then Messi will once again widen the gap with Ronaldo.

So this final is very important to Messi personally. The Golden Ball is one aspect, and opening the gap with Ronaldo again is another aspect.
