Strong Waist

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

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

At the Emirates Stadium and Stamford Bridge in North London.

On the 23rd, Chelsea took the lead against Atletico Madrid.

Lucky is also paying attention to this game, as a warm-up for himself, and at the same time inspecting his future national team teammates.

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

Both teams are mainly defensive and counterattack teams, and the defense is extremely strong.

The central defender combination of Terry + Cahill has a fierce press and excellent anticipation, but the problem is 'slowness', slow turning and slow speed.

Fortunately, the two full-backs made up for this shortcoming. As long as the two get stuck, Chelsea can achieve siege and press.

Atletico Madrid's central defender combination is Liu Kairui + Godin.

Lucky evaluated these two as two 'all-around fighters'.

Both Liu Kairui and Godin are all-round fighters, 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 Madrid, he had good strength.

Liu Kairui is a pure Atletico Madrid youth training product.

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

Just picking out the central defender combination, Le Kai felt that although the two men were slightly cheaper in value, they were still able to stabilize Terry and Cahill.

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

The collision between the two iron walls finally led to a drowsy game.

In 90 minutes, there was no goal from either side.

In the end it ended 0-0.

It's just that this score is not qualified for Chelsea, after all, they are playing at home.

Chelsea's game was over, albeit underwhelming, but not losing.

Now the pressure is on Arsenal's side.

After all, their opponent is the Galaxy battleship Real Madrid, which is more powerful than Atletico Madrid.

 …

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

The first leg of the Champions League semi-final was played at Arsenal's home court.

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

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

None of the current Arsenal players have experienced this stage.

For them, this is all new.

But also because of this, apart from being nervous, he was also faintly excited.

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

For this reason, the city hall closed many streets and opened up a parade street so that they would not mess around.

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

The night gradually fell, and finally greeted the night, two buses headed for the Emirates Stadium from different directions.

Outside the Emirates Stadium, the reporters who have been waiting here will take pictures frantically.

The flash lights are connected together, just like daytime.

The Arsenal players all walked into the field in silence, and they didn't talk to anyone.

On the other hand, Real Madrid seems to be more at ease. They smile at the camera, and everyone has a touch of confidence in their expressions.

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

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

Everyone put down what they were doing and sat on the bench looking at Wenger.

Wenger clasped his arms, looked around, and said, "I know how you are feeling now. You are both excited and scared. This is not shameful. Our opponents have won 9 Champions League trophies, but we have none. These trophies It will overwhelm us!"

Everyone's expressions were a little complicated.

After a pause, Wenger continued: "But I want you to focus on the game itself. Some people suggested that I give up the Champions League semi-finals, but I did not adopt it. Because giving up will become a habit. Once you get used to this feeling, the future When facing difficulties, we will all compromise, so this is the first lesson I give you, persevere!"

"I don't know what will happen next, what kind of game we will play, whether it is bad or good, I will not judge you for it."

Wenger said with a gentle expression, "Because you are already our pride when you come here!"

Everyone looked up in surprise.

"Don't put any burden on yourself, you have done well enough, no one asks you to do better, you just need to enjoy this game!" Patrice came out, smiled and said to everyone; "Gentlemen, football is a sport that pursues victory, but football is not only about victory. Play a game that you are satisfied with, don't leave any regrets for yourself, fight hard, and don't worry too much about the results! "

Strength and Conditioning Coach Tony Colbert: "I've drilled you hard enough, go! Go enjoy the game!"

Goalkeeping coach Gerry Payton; "Go and show yourselves, 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 finishing speaking, under the leadership of Wenger, the coaches stood on both sides of the locker room and stretched out their palms!

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

Le Kai exhaled slowly, tightened the captain's armband on his shoulders, stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "Go! Guys, let's go make a big fuss!"

The Arsenal players got up one after another.

"Have a big fuss!"

"Fuck them!"

"What are you afraid of!"

"Up and up!"

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

Lucky was at the forefront, and they swaggered all the way to the player tunnel.

Everyone stood still, and no one glanced sideways.

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

But so what?

This is the Emirates Stadium!

This is their home field!

"Players from both sides have already started to walk out of the player channel. The starting lineups of both sides are as follows!"

Real Madrid (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas.

Defenders: Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Coentrao.

Midfielders: Modric, Xabi Alonso, Isco.

Forwards: Bell, Benzema, Ronaldo.

 …

Defenders: Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs.

Midfielders: Walcott, Lucky, Cazorla, Ramsey, Rosicky.

Forward: Suarez.

 …

Both Lucky and Iker Casillas were called to the referee, and the captains of both sides chose sides.

Lucky had good luck in choosing sides, and he won.

Lucky chose the ball, while Casillas chose the field on the left.

The two captains exchange team flags, shake hands with the three referees, and then return to their teams.

Finally, the two teams shake hands.

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

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

The first leg of the Champions League semi-final is imminent.

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

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

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

Beep! ! !

In the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League semi-finals, Arsenal vs Real Madrid, the first round of the match began.

Suarez takes the lead.

With the kick-off, Ronaldo, Benzema, and Bell advanced at high speed.

Their game is highly motivated.

Koscielny passes the ball to Lucky who supports him.

Bell slammed directly into Lucy, but Lucy was well prepared. After stabilizing the first impact, he immediately turned around with his butt pouted, and looked up at the same time.

Walcott is also looking at Lucky.

Le Kai waded the ball forward lightly, and then suddenly kicked up to pass the ball.

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

And the speed of the ball was very fast. Coentraan just recovered, retreated in a panic, and took off in a hurry to imagine destruction, but the ball brushed his scalp and flew behind him.

At the same time, Walcott also chased the ball through Coentraang at the same time.

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

"Lucky made a sudden long pass, and Coentrao took the top!!!——"

"Arsenal Chance!!"

At the same time, George Adams, the live commentator of the Emirates Stadium, also got up and shouted in surprise:

"Walcott!! Go into the penalty area!! Ramos can't keep up!!! Opportunity!!!"

Walcott is fast, but someone is faster than him.

Casillas rushed out when Coentrao's top fell.

Walcott made his way into the box and when he looked up he saw Casillas very close to him.

Walcott was so frightened that he shot the goal quickly.

Hasty shots, poor strength and poor angles.

But Casillas still made a save to be safe. The ball hit Casillas' calf, and the reflection rolled out of the bottom line.

Real Madrid touches defense crisis.

But Arsenal's sudden attack still broke out in a cold sweat.

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

He clearly had an excellent opportunity to start the lead.

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

Shooting in a panic, completely unable to pose a threat.

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

It has to be said that Lucky's pass was very tricky, and the placement was well grasped, which is why Coentram's top fell.
