In fact, Wolfsburg has been under a lot of pressure recently, not without a reason. They are worried that morale will drop after losing because Wolfsburg are now facing a game that is likely to lose. In the middle of the week, Wolfsburg's opponent is Arsenal. The name of this opponent is absolutely qualified to make Wolfsburg think of defeat.
The Gunners and Arsenal are the first team in the Wolfsburg group in the Champions League. After drawing with miner Donetsk in the first game, Wolfsburg will go to London to challenge Arsenal in the second.
For Wolfsburg, it was the most difficult of the six group games in the Champions League. It's a tough task to challenge the first team in the group away from home. Although Arsene Wenger has been questioned in the past two years, as an old school coach, he has never won the Champions League and has nothing to do with it for many years, which also makes Arsenal bear a lot of ideological burden. However, at least in the group stage of the Champions League, Arsene Wenger's strength is still beyond doubt.
Last year's Champions League game, the Bundesliga team met Arsenal - Dortmund met Arsenal in the group, the result is the group match was eliminated. Of course, Dortmund didn't play very well in the Champions League last year, otherwise they would not be at the bottom of the group. However, even if their playing level fluctuated, Dortmund still played well. There is enough reason for Wolfsburg to be careful if they can beat Dortmund.
After all, Wolfsburg this year, like Dortmund last year, is the first time to participate in the knockout of the Champions League, and their Champions League performance is not very good. In the previous game, they were just drawn by Donetsk miner at home. Now they are away against Arsenal, which is stronger than Donetsk. It's hard to predict the outcome.
If Wolfsburg lose again in this game, they will be unbeaten in the Champions League. The fourth team in the next group is the French champion Montpellier. Wolfsburg dare not say that they have absolute advantage. Maybe they will play the same as Dortmund last year in the Champions League. Wolfsburg are not so willing to accept this. What they want to learn is the achievements of Dortmund League last year, but not the level of the Champions League.
It is this kind of strong enemy that makes Wolfsburg face a lot of pressure. However, when the players actually get on the plane, their pressure disappears.
Maybe as Chen sirou said, in addition to facing the pressure, the players also have a strong impulse, which is the desire for the championship and victory. Although the serious consequences of losing are worrying, at the same time, the players are also looking forward to what will happen to the team if they can win. During the training, their sad mood was magnified, but after they got on the plane, their mood was extremely high.
"What are we going to get against Arsenal? How to say that Arsenal is also one of the top teams. When you meet them, what do you think will be the result
On the plane, the bored Nagoya asked Turan a question. Hearing his teammates' questions, Turan just laughed and shook his head, "how do I know? But if I say it, the best result is to win. If it's Barcelona, Real Madrid, it's not a shame to lose, but it seems to be a shame to lose to Arsenal
His reply made Nagoya chuckle. "Indeed, it's a shame to lose, and the draw is even more unpredictable. Encounter Arsenal want to draw, maybe the result is worse than the attack. After all, the other side's defensive line is poor and the offensive end is strong, which is an indisputable fact
Hasemoto's words made people around him laugh. Even though the Bundesliga defence has always been derided by Europeans as a team defense, they are still confident compared with Arsenal.
On the plane, the players are talking excitedly about the coming game. In their words there is a mockery of the strength of Arsenal, but also more confidence for their team to win. The pressure of the game is gradually weakened in the joke, and the belief of victory is rooted in the hearts of the players.
The game was tough enough, but the players were full of confidence. Their opponent is Arsenal, a famous team in the world - over the years, the promotion of the Premier League is far better than that of the Bundesliga. Although Arsenal are not the strongest team in the Premier League and have not won the championship for several years, their reputation is not weak compared with Bayern. Playing against such opponents, although the players do have pressure, they also have deep thoughts about winning.
What if your team wins? Even in the League to beat Bayern can cause so much attention, if you beat Arsenal in the Champions League, also can cause a lot of people's attention?
Gao shunyao is one of the few people who have such an idea.
Gao shunyao didn't take part in the team's chat. He always leaned against the window and watched the scenery outside. In other words, it's his first time to play abroad in Europe, which makes him a little excited.
what makes Gao shunyao especially happy is that he can meet such a strong team, a famous home, whether it's the gunners or Arsenal, when he plays abroad for the first time Daming, or the name of the Emirates Stadium, he has heard it many times. Gao shunyao is also looking forward to visiting the Emirates Stadium.Gao shunyao has heard too many legends about the stadium. Some people say that it is the outstanding contribution of Arsene Wenger to Arsenal. He built a stadium with his own team's money. The management of Arsenal is admirable. It has also been said that the stadium is draining away Arsenal's assets. It is precisely because of the construction of this stadium that Arsenal spent all their savings, making the team no champion for many years, so that the team captains from generation to generation went away and refused to play for the team. Whether this stadium has brought prosperity to Arsenal or caused an economic crisis has always been a mystery.
The Bundesliga stadium can be called good, but which team's stadium is not so closely related to their own team's fate as the Emirates Stadium. Even if Bayern's Allianz stadium makes Bayern poor for a few years, it is far from being able to make Bayern so long without a champion. It's a legend to show off at the Emirates Stadium. Such a famous stadium is really a place to visit.
After arriving in London and seeing the Emirates Stadium with his own eyes, Gao shunyao was more sure that his expectations were correct. This stadium is really beautiful enough, even compared with Bayern's Allianz stadium. He really deserves a lot of money from Arsene. With such a stadium, the players who play here will be very excited.
And if you can beat the home team here, I think it is also a very exciting thing.
The grandeur of the Emirates Stadium did not stop Gao shunyao's ambition - especially after seeing the other side's lineup.
Arsenal's lineup, is goalkeeper mannone, after not showing Gibbs, Vermaelen, koschelny, Jenkinson four people. Above the midfield players, they photographed the midfield of five people, including coquillin, Arteta, Chamberlain, gervinho and casora. At the front, they were headed by girou.
This team is not the strongest one for Arsenal, but it is almost the strongest one they can send. Most of the other main players of Arsenal are troubled by injuries at this time: Although the season started soon, Arsenal have already suffered a wave of injuries. Szesny and Fabianski have injured their ankles and had to use the third goalkeeper. Wilshere and Sagna have not resumed training after serious injuries. The two main players also have to be absent from the game. Coupled with Rosicky's thigh injury, these problems are serious No one is on the list. As for Diaby Ghost just know where he hurt in the end, can compete with him, that is the probability of winning the lottery.
A team can have so many injuries, also let Gao shunyao eyes. Since he played football, he has not seen injuries, but such injuries are rare. However, he does not have the heart to sympathize with Arsenal, the opponent's strength has weakened, take this opportunity to win is what he really wants to do.
Because of a lot of injuries, strictly speaking, Arsenal's lineup may not be much better than Wolfsburg only by looking at the main players - in their front court players, casora, gervinho and girou are still good, and they can be regarded as successful players in any case, but when it comes to the strength and fame of the two men, coquillin and altta, I'm afraid they are not as good as Wolfsburg players People. Arsenal have always been known for their excellent attack, but seriously speaking, Arsenal may not be stronger than Wolfsburg.
And their back line is famous, it's just Arsenal's defence is always a joke, and the people who make fun of them are not one or two. Their defensive players are famous, largely not because they are strong, but for the opposite reason. Their two centre backs are OK, but their two full backs are all jokes. The third goalkeeper starts, which makes Wolfsburg more confident.
However, even so, no one dare say that Wolfsburg will have a chance. Although Arsenal have suffered a lot of injuries, their lineup is also very deep. Other than that, on their bench, there are still Walcott, Santos, Podolski, Ramsey, Arshavin and other players. When it comes to the thickness of the team, they are still terrible. How to say, Arsenal are the top teams in the Champions League. Compared with Wolfsburg, they have enough confidence.
And another important reason is that the coach of the other side is Arsene Wenger. To be promoted every year is an invisible pressure on others. Although the old coach is famous for his poor on-the-spot command, he is still the top coach in the world. He will still scare the Wolfsburg players on the sidelines and play with them. Wolfsburg will certainly not have a special advantage.
Arsenal still have a lot of strength, Wolfsburg must be careful.
