Strong Waist

On April 23, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid took the lead in the Champions League semi-finals.

For two consecutive days, there will be Champions League semi-finals in London.

They will be held at the Emirates Stadium in North London and Stamford Bridge respectively.

On the 23rd, Chelsea took the lead in facing Atletico Madrid.

Lekai was also paying attention to this game, which was a warm-up for himself and also to examine his future national team teammates.

Of course, Lekai did not go to the scene, but watched the game at home.

Both teams are teams that mainly play defensive counterattacks, and their back lines are extremely strong.

The central defender combination of Terry + Cahill has fierce pressing and excellent prediction, but the problem is "slow", slow turning and slow speed.

Fortunately, the two full-backs made up for this defect. As long as these two people are stuck in position, Chelsea can achieve siege and pressing.

The central defender combination of Atletico Madrid is Liu Kairui + Godin.

Lekai's evaluation of these two people is two "all-round warriors".

Liu Kairui and Godin are both all-round warriors, with excellent physical confrontation and stealing abilities, and even have certain technical bonuses.

Godin is the main central defender of the Uruguayan national team. Before coming to Atletico, he had good strength.

Liu Kairui is a pure product of Atletico's youth training.

Both of them are very proactive, which also speeds up Atletico's overall linkage ability.

Just taking out the central defender combination, Le Kai feels that although these two are slightly cheaper in terms of price, they are still better than Terry and Cahill.

If Chelsea is a mobile fortress, then Atletico is a flexible heavy knight.

The collision between the two iron walls finally made the game drowsy.

In 90 minutes, neither side scored a goal.

It ended in 0-0.

But this score is not qualified for Chelsea, after all, they are playing at home.

Chelsea's game is over, although it is not satisfactory, but it has not lost.

Now the pressure is on Arsenal.

After all, their opponent is Real Madrid, a more powerful galactic battleship than Atletico.

Real Madrid came to London on April 23 and checked into the hotel to prepare for the game the next day.

The first round of the Champions League semi-finals was held at Arsenal's home stadium.

This also brought a lot of pressure to Arsenal players to a certain extent.

Although they had made certain preparations before the game, they still felt extremely nervous when the day really came.

None of the current Arsenal players have experienced this stage.

For them, everything is new.

But because of this, in addition to being nervous, they are also faintly excited.

The whole of North London has been immersed in the red and white colors of Arsenal. Excited Arsenal fans poured into the streets and began to increase momentum for the home team.

The City Hall even closed many streets for this purpose and opened up a parade street so that they would not wander around.

The road leading to the Emirates Stadium was occupied by enthusiastic fans early. They stood on both sides of the street, looking forward to the appearance of the home team.

The night gradually came, and finally facing the night, two buses drove to the Emirates Stadium from different directions.

Outside the Emirates Stadium, reporters who had been waiting here for a long time took crazy photos.

The flash lights were connected into one, just like daytime.

All the Arsenal players walked into the stadium in silence, and they ignored anyone.

On the other hand, Real Madrid seemed to be more relaxed. They smiled at the camera, and everyone's expression was full of confidence.

This is the confidence of Real Madrid, the confidence brought to them by 9 Champions League trophies!

As soon as Lekai and others walked into the locker room, Wenger shouted loudly; "Everyone sit down and listen to me!"

Everyone put down their work, sat on the bench and looked at Wenger.

Wenger folded his arms, looked around, and said; "I know how you feel now, excited and a little afraid. This is not shameful. Our opponents have won 9 Champions League trophies, and we have none. These trophies will overwhelm us!"

Everyone's expression was a little complicated.

After a pause, Wenger continued: "But I hope you can focus on the game itself. Some people suggested that I give up the Champions League semi-finals, but I didn't accept it. Because giving up will become a habit. Once you get used to this feeling, we will compromise when facing difficulties in the future, so this is the first lesson I teach you, stick to it!" "I don't know what will happen next, what kind of game we will play, whether it is bad or good, I will not criticize you for it." Wenger said gently; "Because you are already our pride when you come here!" Everyone looked up in surprise. "Don't give yourself any burden, you have done well enough, no one asks you to do better, you just need to enjoy this game!" Patles came out and smiled at everyone; "Gentlemen, football is a sport that pursues victory, but football is not just about victory. Play a game that you are satisfied with, don't leave any regrets for yourself, fight as hard as you can, and don't care too much about the results!" Physical coach Tony Colbert: "I have trained you strong enough, go! Enjoy this game!" Goalkeeper coach Gerry Payton; "Show yourself, this is a good stage!"

Goalkeeper coach Lehmann; "Don't leave any regrets for yourself, don't do things you regret, don't restrain yourself, enjoy it to the fullest!"

After saying that, under the leadership of Wenger, the coaches stood on both sides of the locker room and extended their palms one after another!

Wenger looked at Lucky with a smile and said, "Go! Don't leave any regrets."

Lucky exhaled slowly, tightened the captain's armband on his shoulders, stood up suddenly, and said loudly, "Come on! Guys, let's go make a scene!"

Arsenal players stood up one after another.

"Let's make a scene!"

"Kill them!"

"What are you afraid of!"

"Up, up, up!"

Each Arsenal player high-fived the coaches on both sides, and then walked out of the locker room resolutely. Their eyes became confident and their steps were firm.

Lucky walked at the front, and they strutted all the way to the tunnel.

Everyone stood still, no one glanced sideways.

Even if there is a star-studded Real Madrid on the other side.

But so what?

This is the Emirates Stadium!

This is their home court!

"Players from both sides have begun to walk out of the tunnel. The starting lineups of both sides are as follows!"

Real Madrid (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Coentrao.

Midfielder: Modric, Xavi Alonso, Isco.

Forwards: Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo.

Arsenal (4-3-2-1):

Goalkeeper: Szczesny.

Defenders: Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs.

Midfielder: Theo Walcott, Lucky, Cazorla, Ramsey, Rosicky.

Forward: Suarez.

Lucky and Casillas were both called to the referee's desk, and the captains of both sides chose sides.

Lucky had good luck in choosing a side and he won.

Lucky chose the ball, while Casillas chose the left side of the field.

The two captains exchanged team flags, shook hands with the three referees, and then returned to their teams.

Finally, the two teams shook hands.

The away team takes the initiative to shake hands with the home team.

After the whole process was over, they each came to their own half.

The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals is about to begin.

The Arsenal fans at the scene have begun to make various noises to support.

Suarez stepped on the ball and stood in the center circle. He kept taking deep breaths to stabilize his emotions.

The referee exited the center circle, and after confirming the status of the goalkeepers on both sides, finally blew the whistle.

Beep! ! !

In the UEFA Champions League semi-finals of the 2013-2014 season, the first leg of the match between Arsenal and Real Madrid began.

Suarez took the lead.

Following the kick-off, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, and Bale advanced at high speed.

Their motivation to play is very high.

Koscielny passed the ball to Lucky who was supporting.

Bell crashed directly into Lucky, but Lucky was well prepared. After stabilizing the first impact, he immediately turned around with his butt sticking out, while looking up to observe.

Walcott is also looking at Lucky.

Lucky stepped forward gently to pass the ball, and then suddenly started to pass the ball.

This time the long pass was very sudden, hitting Coentrao directly behind him.

And the ball was very fast. Coentrao just recovered and retreated in a panic. He jumped up in a hurry and tried to destroy it, but the ball flew behind him and rubbed his scalp.

At the same time, Walcott also chased the ball through Coentrao.

Sina Sports, when Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were still warming up, a sudden change caused the two of them to shout quickly:

"Lucky suddenly made a long pass, and Coentrao came over!!!"

"Arsenal chance!!"

At the same time, George Adams, the on-site commentator at the Emirates Stadium, also stood up and shouted in surprise:

"Walcott!! Enter the penalty area!! Ramos can't catch up!!! Opportunity!!!"

Walcott is fast, but there are people faster than him.

Casillas rushed out when Coentrao was on top.

Walcott entered the penalty area and when he looked up, he saw Casillas very close to him.

Walcott was so frightened that he shot quickly.

The hasty shot, the strength and angle were not good.

But Casillas still made a save for safety reasons. The ball hit Casillas' calf and refracted and rolled out of the baseline.

Real Madrid is facing a defensive crisis.

But Arsenal's sudden attack still made him break into a cold sweat.

Walcott covered his head and knelt on the ground with a look of pity on his face.

He clearly had a great chance to take the lead at the start.

But Casillas' attack was too decisive. By the time he reacted, the opponent was already less than five meters away, basically blocking most of the shooting angles.

He shot in a panic and failed to pose a threat at all.

Walcott shook his head regretfully. After he stood up, he gave Lucky a thumbs up and praised the pass.

It has to be said that Lucky's pass was very tricky and he knew the landing point very well, which is why Coentrao took the lead.
