Football: The Hand that Covers the Sky

Chapter 222: Champions League debut

It is said that this game against Dortmund was also called the Asian Derby, because both Arsenal and Dortmund have a player from Asia.

The Dortmund player is Shinji Kagawa from Japan. This player became famous in Dortmund and was taken to Manchester United by Ferguson. But unfortunately, the fierce rivalry in the Premier League and the retirement of the old man made Kagawa Shinji not mixed in Manchester City. Go down.

In contrast, Li Shou’s body does not have any problems. Even on physical fitness alone, Li Shou can beat any player. As for adaptability, it goes without saying that as a Chinese, Li Shou is adapting There are natural advantages.

   In the past, when facing Japanese media, journalists from China could not hold up their waists, but at this moment, Chinese journalists can proudly raise their heads and look directly at the Japanese media.

   Even the Chinese and Japanese media at this moment can look down on the South Korean media a little bit. After Park Ji-sung retires, no one in South Korea can really take over the vacancy left by Park Ji-sung.

Although Sun Xingmin, who is also in the Bundesliga, is optimistic, he is a little immature after all, and he has not really transferred to the giants. In contrast, Li Shou is now truly a giant. Although Dortmund is not a giant, Dortmund is second only after all. For Bayern Munich's team, Shinji Kagawa also played for Manchester United.

   Therefore, Asian journalists accounted for half of the pre-match press conference. Among them, China and Japan accounted for the majority, and South Korea also had a few media.

   But what disappoints these Asian media is that Wenger and Klopp didn't bring the people they wanted to see. Wenger brought the captain Arteta from injury, and Klopp brought captain Kyle.

For the Japanese media, they are most concerned about whether Kagawa Shinji can start in the game. Now it is not the past. Kagawa Shinji, who did not transfer to Manchester United, is Dortmund’s main force and core, but after a few seasons, Dortmund players and The tactics have changed.

   As for the Chinese media, they are not worried about the starting problem. With Szczynski being sent down to the reserve team, Li Shou has performed so well in the league. It must be no problem.

But the Chinese media also have concerns. This game was Li Shou’s debut in the Champions League. There was no Champions League mission in Monaco last season. Arsenal had two qualifying matches before, but Wenger still chose something for the sake of safety. Jessini.

   Li Shou is now the face of Chinese football. Although some fans put their hopes on Li Shou, Li Shou, who cannot get into the national team, cannot become the hope of fans.

With Li Shou’s two brilliant performances at Arsenal, there have been more and more domestic calls for Li Shou to enter the national team, because in many people’s eyes, Li Shou is still facing Arsenal’s flawed defense. You can seal opponents, and entering the national team will definitely help the national team keep the goal.

Although the national team's defense is not as good as Arsenal, the national team is not facing an opponent of the Premier League level. Therefore, many people think that as long as Li Shou can enter the national team, the possibility of China entering the 18th World Cup will be enough. Increase by fifty percent.

But these are all wishful thinking. Li Shou cannot enter the national team when the Football Association has not spoken. For Li Shou now, Arsenal is the most important thing. After all, Arsenal is in front of him, and the national team is still touching. Not in the future.

   "Lee, will you be nervous in the first Champions League match?" Griezmann, who was about to go for training, joked in the hotel.

   "You seem to have participated?" Li Shou looked at Griezmann with contempt.

   "Hahaha~~~ I really participated. The team I belonged to last season entered the group stage," Griezmann said.

   But Griezmann didn't finish his words. Last season, Griezmann's Real Sociedad only scored one point in the Champions League group stage, and was eventually eliminated from the bottom of the group.

   But regardless of the results, Griezmann did play in the Champions League.

   "Well, although I have never played in the Champions League, I am not nervous at all" Li Shou immediately changed his expression and said.

   "There are no outsiders here" Griezmann obviously didn't believe Li Shou's words.

   "Anthony, do you think I will be nervous with my strength?" Li Shou took a toned pose.

  Looking at Li Shou's self-confidence, Griezmann decided not to continue on this topic and promote himself to others, but unfortunately Li Shou is not an ordinary person.

  Training and adapting to the stadium, the time passed quickly, and the game was approaching in a blink of an eye. The Iduna Signal Park Stadium, which can accommodate 67,000 people, was packed.

   The Bundesliga is the league with the highest attendance rate in all major European leagues. At the same time, Dortmund's home stadium is the Bundesliga stadium with the highest attendance rate. Almost every home game in Dortmund can fill the stadium.

   And the Dortmund fans are very passionate, so the Iduna Signal Park Stadium is also the famous home of the Devil in the Bundesliga and even Europe.

   Of course, Arsenal's home stadium is also very good. The Emirates Stadium, which can accommodate 60,000 people, is almost full, but the atmosphere is not as enthusiastic as Dortmund's home stadium.

   "Lee~~~ Are you nervous?" Wenger said half-jokingly after returning to the locker room after warming up.

   "Head~~~ I'm not a kid, so what's so nervous about a game" Li Shou said with a gloomy expression.

"Very good, but this game is not ordinary. This game is about the initiative of the entire group. If we want to relax in the next game, then we must win this game." Wenger looked around the locker room. Said with a serious face.

"What is Dortmund's strength? I think no team except the Bundesliga knows better than us." Arsenal and Dortmund were assigned to the same group last season~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Arsenal lost at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg of last season It was 1:2, but after coming to Germany, Arsenal won the game back with a 1:0, but in the end Arsenal was beaten by Dortmund and appeared as second in the group.

  Although Arsenal and Dortmund are considered old opponents, both teams have undergone major changes in their personnel this summer, and even both teams have lost their stars.

   Arsenal lost the German midfielder due to the arrival of Li Shou, and Dortmund was even worse, the main striker directly joined his rival Bayern Munich for free.
