Chapter 626 Prelude to the Great War
After the league is over, it's the main event.
Champions League quarter-finals.
Both Arsenal and Barcelona are preparing intensely.
They will play the first round at the Emirates Stadium three days later, on April 5th.
This has also become the most attractive highlight at present.
Although at the same time there is a game between Bayern Munich and Benfica.
But apparently the game wasn't attractive enough against Arsenal VS Barcelona.
There has been a commotion on the internet for this game.
Everyone is guessing how this game will go.
Some people say that Barcelona will crush Arsenal!
Some people also said that as long as Arsenal have an advantage in midfield, the game will be one-sided.
Of course, more people think that this game is absolutely wonderful.
The confrontation in each position will present a high-quality game.
Of course, the most concerned is the confrontation between Lucky and Messi.
Time has passed, public opinion is fermenting, and the enthusiasm of fans is constantly rising.
On April 4th, the Barcelona team took a plane to London under the leadership of head coach Enrique.
At noon, all Barcelona staff arrived at London Airport and became a bus to the hotel where they stayed.
There are all kinds of guns and short guns along the way, trying to get first-hand information about Barcelona.
But Barcelona did not give any kind of interview.
After they entered the hotel in a low-key way and completed their check-in, they immediately headed to the training ground for training.
"At 12:25 noon London time, the entire Barcelona team arrived in London and went to the training base at 2 o'clock for a training camp. During the whole process, Barcelona did not accept any form of interview, and the head coach Enrique even passed the Spanish media. Speaking out, he doesn't want the players to be disturbed in any way, they will be focused on the game, which obviously is also extremely stressful for Barcelona, according to football commentators."
The reporters on the TV are filming on the periphery of a training base.
This scene is delivered via TV channels all over the world.
In the gym in Kearney's training base, Lucky's upper body was bare, his sculpted muscles were clearly visible, and sweat dripped down from time to time.
Lekai hung a towel around his neck, wiping his face while looking up at the TV.
"nervous?"
A sudden tap on the shoulder.
Lucky turned his head and saw Wenger standing behind him.
Lucky shrugged and smiled; "I have won the Champions League final, and my mentality is still good."
Wenger smiled and nodded: "That's good!"
Lucky turned and left.
Patrice came over.
"To base all tactics on Kai's ability to limit Messi, you're crazy!"
Can Lekai limit Messi?
Even if it is restricted, is there any spare energy to launch a counterattack?
These are unforeseen things.
and the probability of failure is too great.
Patrice feels that now Wenger has become a gambler, and this guy likes this kind of adventurous formation.
But Wenger said with a smile: "Don't you want to see Messi being restricted one-on-one?"
Patrice was silent for a moment; "This is really topical, but can Kai really do it?"
"The conditions are the same, at least in my opinion, Kai has all the conditions to limit Messi, and in the end it depends on his performance!" Wenger said.
Patrice grinned: "Damn it, I'm already nervous!"
More than just Patrice.
Many people are nervous!
Gunners! Fans! The same is true for the narrator and even Lucky.
The day of April 4th passed quickly.
In the early morning in London, the sun rises, and it is a good weather today.
London hasn't had such weather for a long time.
The sky is cloudless and blue.
Soon, the sound of the heavy traffic drowned out the entire city.
Beginning at 9 o'clock, the whole of London entered a wave of parades.
London City Hall has a separate area for Barcelona fans where they can gather for any kind of gathering.
Throughout the area, Barcelona fans were singing and singing, and a dense crowd gathered.
According to statistics, a total of nearly 20,000 Barcelona fans traveled with the team.
The rest of North London was filled with Arsenal fans.
They can't lose to the Barcelona fans, this is London, their home ground.
"Go forward! Arsenal!"
On the street next to the Emirates Stadium, a large number of people gathered together, and it was impossible to see the side.
One of the leaders at the front raised his arms and shouted, and the others raised their arms and roared.
go ahead! ! ! !
Arsenal! ! ! ! ! ! !
"This is the Emirates Stadium. A large number of Arsenal fans have gathered here. Compared with the past, it has become more lively here. The entire fan activity area has to be expanded to accommodate more fans. There are 80,000 Arsenal fans gathered in this area, and many more fans are taking the subway and all kinds of transportation to get here.”
After a brief report, the reporter randomly found an Arsenal fan for an interview.
Reporter: "Who will win this game?"
Facing the reporter's question, after the fan's face was full of enthusiasm, he raised his arms and shouted towards the camera; "Victory belongs to Arsenal! Arsenal is invincible!"
This sentence made the surrounding Arsenal fans boil again.
Everyone was screaming.
Deafening cheers almost interrupted the live broadcast.
And on the other side of the city.
At the Kearney training base, witnessed by many Arsenal fans, the player bus slowly came out.
The fans rushed forward frantically and were quickly stopped by security personnel.
But they were still full of fanatical shouts.
"Victory! Gunners!"
"You are the strongest!"
"Captain! Show them some awesomeness!"
"Suarez! You are the top scorer, help us score!"
"Aubameyang! Use your speed to penetrate Barcelona's defense!"
"Guns! Goal! We'll cheer you on!!"
In the fierce expression of Arsenal fans, the bus emerged from the crowd and headed towards the stadium.
The inside of the bus is very quiet.
No one spoke, nearly half of them closed their eyes, especially those main players, who were further consolidating the tactical play in the game and constantly simulated in their minds.
The same goes for Lucky.
After a period of silence, a loud cheering sound came from his ears.
The sound goes from far to near, from small to loud!
Lucky suddenly opened his eyes.
Wenger has stood up, and he said loudly to the players; "lads, prepare to enter the field!"
Arsenal players got up one after another and began to get out of the bus.
The Arsenal fans who have been waiting for such a long time around send them a huge solidarity and encouragement again.
The gunmen waved in response and walked into the arena.
And when Lucky got out of the car, the sound was increased by an unknown number of times.
Everyone at the scene was shouting Lucky's name.
Kay! ! ! ! ! ! —
Kay! ! ! ! ! ! —
Kay! ! ! ! ! ! —
Le Kai stopped, raised his arms in response, and then walked into the arena with a smile.
And this scene was also broadcast by the commentary station that was broadcasting it.
Paul Mosen said with a smile: "Kay's expression is still very relaxed, this is the normal state of facing the game, you can't show cowardice because of the strength of the opponent!"
Dixon also laughed; "He has always been one of Arsenal's most assured players."
Soon, as soon as the camera turned, Messi appeared.
Messi is very popular.
There were many Barcelona fans, and there were also many local London fans who came for a glimpse.
Messi smiled and said hello as he walked into the pitch.
In this regard, Paul Mosen said; "The two players are the focus of this game, and Messi's expression before the game was also very relaxed, but we should focus on the performance of the two in the game."
Dixon took a deep breath and said, "Come on, Arsenal!"
With the arrival of the players from the two teams, the atmosphere at the scene became extremely tense.
Although the players were very relaxed, the overall atmosphere of the imminent battle was a little breathless.
Especially in the stadium, Arsenal fans kept cheering, they didn't even leave any gap for Barcelona fans.
They want to kill Barcelona's voice completely at home.
Only the voice of Arsenal fans can exist at the Emirates Stadium.
