Strong Waist

Arsenal has won two consecutive draws. Although they failed to win, it is already a good result to win consecutive draws in away games.

However, they cannot take it lightly. After all, in the battle for points, any small mistake may lead to falling behind.

Arsenal is still holding on to points and will not be pulled down too far by the first tier.

At the same time, Arsenal also need to prepare for the Champions League.

After a truce of nearly two months, the Champions League knockout rounds are finally here.

Since Arsenal drew a good draw, their opponents were not that strong.

But Arsenal will not take it lightly. After all, entering the Champions League knockout stage, there are no so-called rookies.

To be able to reach the knockout round, every one of them was shot with real guns and live ammunition. It is impossible without some real skills.

In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Arsenal will face Gent Club away from home.

Three consecutive away games made Arsenal very uncomfortable, but with the schedule, they had nothing to do.

At this time, Arsenal could only grit their teeth and persist.

Arsenal's status has still become the key to media reports.

After all, from the current point of view, even Wenger's return cannot completely restore Arsenal to its heyday.

Problems with the lineup still exist, and with the ups and downs of status, many tactical arrangements cannot be executed perfectly.

There are always one or two people who make mistakes or are in a sluggish state during the game and become a breakthrough.

Fortunately, Arsenal has a super thigh like Lucky who has been taking care of everything.

But Lucky is still a person after all, and when he is unable to do what he wants, Arsenal wants to solve this problem, but at this stage, we can still pray that Lucky is still in an explosive period.

Gent Football Club is a team from the Belgian League.

Starting from the qualifying round and going all the way to the knockout round, it can be said that it has been a battle.

This is also the first time they have reached the knockout stages of the Champions League, and everything is unfamiliar territory.

But Gent obviously didn't want to play passively.

Their head coach Van Hazelbrouck said after completing the grouping that they would come up with something fresh in this game.

Many people are curious about what this guy is doing when he falls to the ground.

Facing this atmosphere, the Arsenal team came to Ghent, a Belgian municipality, on February 17th.

The city gives people an ancient feel. Except for the business district, the rest of the area retains old-fashioned buildings.

The appearance of Arsenal's hotel is similar to a church. The entire building is castle-shaped, and the internal corridors are also circular.

After the Arsenal team settled in, they headed to the rented training ground for training.

Since it was before a game, the training focused on warm-up.

"What do you think they are going to do when Ghent falls to the ground? What new things can they come up with?"

Wilshere asked curiously.

It has to be said that this guy Van Heizebroek has mastered the traffic password, and now many people are discussing what secret weapon Gent is going to use.

In response, Lucai waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about them, just play our own football well. There is still a gap in strength!"

Wilshere nodded.

The strength gap between Arsenal and Gent is still huge.

Of course this is under normal circumstances.

But given Arsenal's players' tendency to work on their game, it's difficult to judge.

Especially Sanchez!

After the last round of the game, this guy completely fell into a self-entertainment mode and became a right-wing lone ranger.

Lucky felt that this guy got a real pass from Sterling, and when he got the ball, he carried it to the end.

However, this guy's playing style still has some effects, and it is not all negative factors. For this reason, Wenger did not preach to him.

But if this guy continues to play like this, the overall tactics will have some impact.

"Don't you need to talk about Sanchez?"

Wilshere said it was not a good thing to continue playing like this.

In response, Lucky shook his head and said, "The coaching staff has its own judgment, so we don't have to worry about it!"

Lucky took a stand, and Wilshere stopped talking.

Now Wilshere has completely given up on ‘taking the throne’.

Isn’t it great to be a prince?

Besides, even if he wants to start a rebellion, he needs someone to support him.

With Lucky's current internal status and prestige, there is no way to make a difference at all.

At this time, someone tapped Lucai on the shoulder.

Lucky turned his head and looked over and couldn't help but smile, "How is your recovery going?"

Cazorla smiled and raised his leg and said, "Recovering very well."

Cazorla has already started training with the team in the last round. After diagnosis by the team doctor, he is already qualified to withstand the competition.

However, after the surgery, Cazorla's condition plummeted.

He can no longer play like he used to.

For this reason, although many Arsenal fans are waiting for the Cazorla + Lucky model to come back, Wenger has no such plan.

But it is good news that Cazorla is back on the court.

After all, this guy has been diagnosed with the possibility of early retirement.

Lucky chatted with Cazorla for a while, and Arsenal's training ended.

Everyone returned to the hotel where they stayed. In the evening, they gathered again in the conference room for a brief tactical review, and then returned to their respective rooms to rest.

Gent's home stadium is called the Geirenko Arena and is a home stadium that can only accommodate one person.

The home court is relatively small, so it only provides 2,000 seats for Arsenal fans, which is already a big deal.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, players from the two teams appeared in the player tunnel.

Almost all the players in Gent are unfamiliar faces, and their expressions are extremely serious. Obviously, for them, the first Champions League knockout round still has a lot of pressure.

On the other hand, Arsenal's players were more relaxed.

Although it is an away game, Arsenal, as a giant, still has a strong intimidation power.

When the Gent players stood in line, they subconsciously looked towards the front of Arsenal.

Lucky's back put a lot of pressure on them.

After all, Gent's head coach has repeatedly emphasized the threat of Lucky.

At the same time, they have also seen Lucky's monster-level performance through videos.

Therefore, how to compete with Lucky in the midfield is obviously a key point.

"The players on both sides are already in place, and what is about to begin is the first leg of the 2015/2016 Champions League quarter-finals, Gent's home game against Arsenal."

After the introduction, Zhan Jun smiled and said; "Ghent is under a lot of pressure. This is their first time playing in the knockout round of the Champions League, and their opponent is the defending champion of the Champions League. This pressure is really too much!"

"The pressure in the midfield is also great!" Zhang Lu said with a smile.

Zhan Jun nodded and looked at the information in his hand and said; "What we need to pay special attention to is Gent's No. 10 player Renato Neto. This player's performance is crucial for Gent to reach the Champions League knockout rounds. In the group stage, His performance was also extremely exciting, with many wonderful dribbling breakthroughs and threatening passes in the midfield, helping the team advance to the knockout stages of the Champions League! In the league, Renato Neto was even called the best player in the league! A single midfielder, he was dubbed by many as an 'island' for his solid performance in a roaring sea."

"And this 'isolated island' Renato Neto is about to face the test of possibly being the world's number one defensive midfielder."

Zhang Ludao; "The intensity of Liga A is not high, so Renato Neto can perform very well, but in terms of dialects throughout Europe, his ability can only be called excellent, which is already commendable, but in this game , he will face the explosive Lucai! A midfielder who is a monster in the world! "

"Can he continue this magical performance? Let's wait and see!"

During the warm-up of the two commentators, the players from both sides walked out of the tunnel.

The starting lineups on both sides also appeared on the big screen.

The moment they saw the starting lineup, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu both exclaimed; "Three guards!

Gent chose a back three! This is really a surprising lineup arrangement! "

"Van Heizebrouck didn't break his promise, he really came up with something new!"

"Three defenders, five midfielders, two forwards!"

"This is a plan to go head-to-head with Arsenal's midfielder!"

"So strong!" Zhan Jun gave a thumbs up and then smiled; "This game is great to watch! Three defenders, five midfielders! Van Heizebrouck directly showed his sword, this lineup is to say, either you crush me, or I'll crush you! A real man should confront you!"
