Chapter 140: Prelude to the War

After the league is over, it’s the main event.

Champions League quarter-finals.

Both Arsenal and Barcelona are preparing nervously.

They will play their first-round match at the Emirates Stadium three days later, on April 5.

This has also become the most attractive highlight at present.

Although there is also a game between Bayern Munich and Benfica at the same time.

But obviously this game is not attractive enough to compete with Arsenal VS Barcelona.

The internet is already abuzz over this match.

Everyone is speculating on how this game will go.

Some people say that Barcelona will crush Arsenal!

Some people also said that as long as Arsenal gains an advantage in the midfield, the game will be one-sided.

Of course, more people think this game is absolutely wonderful.

Confrontations in all positions will present high-quality competition.

Of course, the one that gets the most attention is naturally the confrontation between Lucky and Messi.

As time passes, public opinion is fermenting, and the enthusiasm of the fans is also rising.

On April 4, the entire Barcelona team, led by head coach Enrique, took a flight to London.

At noon, all members of the Barcelona team arrived at London Airport and were taken by bus to their hotel.

Along the way there were all kinds of long shots and short guns, trying to get first-hand news about Barcelona.

But Barcelona did not accept any kind of interview.

After they entered the hotel in a low-key manner and completed their check-in, they immediately went to the training ground for training.

"At 12:25 noon London time, the Barcelona team arrived in London and went to the training base at 2 o'clock for training. During the whole process, Barcelona did not accept any form of interview. Head coach Enrique even said He spoke through the Spanish media. He did not want the players to be disturbed in any way. They will focus on the game. Obviously for Barcelona, ​​this game is also extremely stressful. According to football commentators "

Reporters on TV were filming outside a training base.

The scene was relayed through television channels around the world.

In the gym at the Kearney training base, Lucky's upper body was bare, his sculpted muscles clearly visible, and beads of sweat sliding down his face from time to time.

Lucky had a towel hanging around his neck, wiping his face while looking up at the TV.

"nervous?"

There was a sudden tap on the shoulder.

Lucky turned around and saw Wenger standing behind him.

Lucky shrugged and smiled; "I have won the Champions League final, so my mentality is still good."

Wenger smiled and nodded: "That's good!"

Lucky turned and left.

Patrice came over.

"You are really crazy to base all your tactics on Kai's ability to limit Messi!"

Can Lucky limit Messi?

Even if it is restricted, is there enough power left to launch a counterattack?

These are unpredictable things.

And the probability of failure is too high.

Patrice feels that Wenger has become a gambler now, and this guy likes this kind of adventurous formation.

However, Wenger said with a smile on his face: "Don't you want to see Messi being restricted one-on-one?"

Patrice was silent for a moment and said, "This is indeed very topical, but can Kai really do it?"

"The conditions are consistent. At least in my opinion, Kai has all the conditions to limit Messi. What happens in the end depends on his performance!" Wenger said.

Patrice grinned: "What the hell, I'm already getting nervous!"

It’s not just Patrice.

Many people are nervous!

Gunners! Fans! This is true for the narrator and even Lucky.

The day of April 4th passed quickly.

In the early morning in London, the sun rose, indicating that it was a good day.

London hasn't had weather like this for a long time.

The sky was cloudless and blue.

Soon, the sound of traffic flooded the entire city.

Starting at 9 o'clock, the whole of London entered a procession.

London City Hall has given Barcelona fans a separate area where they can hold any kind of gathering.

Throughout the area, Barcelona fans were singing and a dense crowd gathered.

According to statistics, a total of nearly 20,000 Barcelona fans traveled with the team.

Other areas in North London were filled with Arsenal fans.

They can't lose to Barcelona fans, this is London, their home ground.

"Forward!! Arsenal!!"

On the street next to the Emirates Stadium, a large number of people gathered together, as far as the eye could see.

A leader at the front raised his arms and shouted, while the others raised their arms and roared angrily.

go ahead! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Arsenal! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

"This is the Emirates Stadium, and a large number of Arsenal fans have gathered here. Compared to the past, this place has become more lively. The entire fan activity area has to be expanded to accommodate more fans. According to statistics, A full 80,000 Arsenal fans have gathered in this area, and more and more fans are taking the subway and various means 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 reporters' questions, 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 excited again.

Everyone was howling.

The deafening cheers almost interrupted the live broadcast.

And on the other side of the city.

At the Colney training base, witnessed by a crowd of Arsenal fans, the player bus slowly rolled out.

The fans rushed forward crazily and were quickly stopped by security personnel.

But they still shouted with fanaticism.

"Get the win!! Gunners!"

"You are the strongest!!"

"Captain! Show them something awesome!!"

"Suarez!! You are the top scorer, help us score!!"

"Aubameyang!! Use your speed to break through Barcelona's defense!!"

"Gunners! Score a goal!! We will cheer you!!!"

Amid the fierce expressions of Arsenal fans, the bus emerged from the crowd and headed towards the stadium.

It was very quiet inside the bus.

No one spoke, and almost half of them had their eyes closed, especially the main players. They were further consolidating their tactics in the game and constantly simulating them in their minds.

The same goes for Lucky.

After a period of silence, fierce cheers could be heard.

The sound goes from far to near, from small to loud!

Lucky opened his eyes suddenly.

Wenger had already stood up, and he shouted to the players: "Boys, get ready to enter the field!"

The Arsenal players stood up and began to walk out of the bus.

The surrounding Arsenal fans, who had been waiting for this for a long time, once again sent them huge support and encouragement.

The gunmen waved in response and walked into the venue.

And when Lucai got out of the car, his voice was raised countless times.

Everyone at the scene was shouting Lucky's name.

Kai! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

Kai! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

Kai! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

Lucky stopped, raised his arms in response, and then walked into the arena with a smile.

This scene was also broadcast by the commentary station that was broadcasting.

Paul Merson said with a smile: "Kai's expression still looks very relaxed. This is the normal state of facing the competition. You can't act timid because of the strength of your opponent!"

Dixon also smiled; "He has always been Arsenal's most assured player."

Soon, the camera turned and Messi appeared.

Messi is very popular.

There were many Barcelona fans at the scene, and there were also many local London fans who came to take a look.

Messi smiled and said hello as he walked into the stadium.

In this regard, Paul Merson said: "The two players are the focus of this game. Messi's expression before the game was also very relaxed, but what we have to pay attention to is the performance of the two players during the game."

Dixon took a deep breath and said: "Come on Arsenal!"

With the arrival of players from both teams, the atmosphere at the scene became extremely tense.

Although the players all acted very relaxedly, the overall atmosphere of an imminent battle was a bit breathless.

Especially in the stadium, Arsenal fans kept cheering, and they didn't even leave any space for the Barcelona fans.

They want to completely stifle Barcelona's voice at home.

There can only be the voice of Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium.
