Chapter 97: Important Competition! Important Guests!

"This is Sky Sports TV. The 2017/2018 Champions League knockout round, which has been suspended for two months, will kick off today. As the two teams in the game, Arsenal and Bayern Munich have become the two most watched teams in this round of knockouts!"

"Arsenal arrived in Munich at 1 pm yesterday. After a short adjustment, they are ready to participate in the upcoming Champions League quarter-finals!"

"Bayern Munich, who are playing at home, have also completed their preparations early. In an interview, the old coach Heynckes said that Bayern will do their best to win this home game. At the same time Heynckes also praised the Arsenal team. Arsenal was once the strongest team in the Champions League. Their luck in the draw was too bad! "

"It is reported that a large number of Arsenal fans began to flock to Munich a week ago. There are as many as 50,000 fans who followed the Arsenal team on the expedition! It can be seen that the Gunners have enthusiasm and expectations for this Arsenal! "

"Even if they are playing away, they also said that Arsenal can win the game! At the same time, we also wish Arsenal can win the game, reporter Alyssa in front!"

The camera switched to Sky Sports TV, and there were four people sitting on the commentary desk.

Andy Gray and Richard were surrounded by two white-haired old men.

For fans all over the world, these two people are not unfamiliar.

It was Ferguson and Wenger who have retired.

For this game, Sky Sports spent a lot of effort to pull these two retired coaches into the commentary seat.

Facing the camera, the two old coaches also smiled. Both of them were in good condition. Obviously, after putting down their work, their health has improved to a certain extent.

"Thanks to Alyssa's report, we can see that Munich has become extremely lively, but the camera did not show the fans. I think that must be a powder keg!"

Andy Gray made an explosion gesture, then turned to Wenger with a smile and said:

"Professor, as a meritorious coach of Arsenal, what prediction do you have for this game?"

Wenger pushed his glasses and smiled: "I can't make an accurate prediction. I have been out of the head coach position for a long time, and in this year, Mourinho has made many changes to Arsenal. To be honest, this Arsenal is no longer the team I am familiar with!"

After a pause, Wenger continued; "But as an Arsenal fan, I still hope Arsenal can win, and I also believe Arsenal can do this."

Andy Gray turned to look at Ferguson and said: "Sir? What do you think?"

Ferguson Sen had a big belly and felt a sense of shortness of breath. He smiled and said, "Bayern is not an easy opponent to deal with, and it is at their home ground. Heynckes is an excellent head coach, which also gives Bayern Munich a great tactical bonus! But Arsenal is also not easy to deal with!"

After a pause, Ferguson shrugged and said, "Well, I can't make a prediction. I don't know what kind of game these two teams can play, but compared to these, we can enjoy this football feast to our heart's content!"

Andy Gray nodded and said, "Yes! As the Sir said, this is a football feast. In the knockout stage of the Champions League, two strong teams are head-on. This is also the charm of the Champions League!"

"Whether it is Arsenal or Bayern Munich, I believe they will give us a wonderful game!"

After a brief pre-match introduction, the figures and data of six players appeared in the camera.

They are the forwards of Bayern Munich and Arsenal.

"Lai Wan is in good shape recently. Arsenal must keep an eye on this Pole. Once Lai Wan finds a chance to shoot, Arsenal will be in danger!"

Wenger said solemnly.

Ferguson commented on Giroud, saying: "Giroud joined Arsenal this season. With Lukaku injured, he completed Arsenal's goal-scoring task very well! Giroud is a versatile player in the frontcourt. He can make a lot of tactical cooperation, which is why Giroud is difficult to limit!"

"These two players have their own characteristics, but it mainly depends on their performance on the spot!"

After the two old coaches made a brief comment.

The camera flashed and the back line appeared.

The two commented again, and then the goalkeeper.

And at the end, the midfield appeared on the big screen.

Bayern Munich: Vidal, Martinez, J. Luo.

Arsenal: Kante, Wilshere, Lukay.

Ferguson and Wenger looked at each other, the former smiled slightly, and said; "Let me comment on Bayern, Arsene is obviously more familiar with Arsenal."

After that, Ferguson began to talk freely.

Ferguson said a lot from tactics to personal ability, but the core idea is to reveal a solidity.

Bayern Munich's midfield is very solid, Vidal and Martinez are both very stable midfielders.

However, the evaluation of James Rodriguez is more regretful.

After all, with the organization's backward movement, the position of James Rodriguez, a classic front midfielder, has been continuously compressed and even abandoned by tactics.

This is also the reason why James Rodriguez, who performed brilliantly in the World Cup, has been continuously abandoned by major giants.

Perhaps only Ancenotti likes James Rodriguez!

After Ferguson finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to the side, and Wenger coughed softly and said:

"Arsenal's midfield is a combination of stability, change, rhythm points, counterattack points, organization points and other aspects of the collection of factors!"

"This midfield was built by me, and their performance is also the guarantee for Arsenal to win."

"Wilshere and Kante have their own responsibilities in the midfield, and Kai is responsible for coordinating all of this. Although Mourinho has asked Kai to take on more defensive work in recent times, if Bayern Munich thinks that this is Kai's decline in form, it is likely to encounter some big problems."

Andy Gray's eyes lit up and said; "So, do you think this is a tactical need?"

"Yes!" Wenger nodded and said with certainty: "In my coaching career, I have never seen a player who can adjust his form like Kai. It is difficult for many players, but it seems that there is a switch in him. When it is turned on, it is an explosive period, and when it is turned off, it starts to accumulate power!"

"For five rounds, Kai has been silent for five rounds. We have reason to believe that Kai will give us a big surprise in this game!"

When talking about Le Kai, Wenger's saliva flew, and a hint of excitement flushed on his face.

He seemed to be eager to show his most proud disciple to the world.

Ferguson on the side also shook his head and laughed, but he understood this feeling very well.

As a head coach, being able to discover such players always makes people feel extremely excited and proud.

Just like he once discovered Ronaldo, Wenger was in the same mood at this time.

When the commentary desk was ready, the big screen showed the scene of the game.

The intense cheers came through the TV, giving people a tingling feeling.

A large number of Bayern Munich fans made huge waves and hit the field again and again.

In the corner area, a small number of Arsenal fans were not to be outdone.

Amid the cheers of fans from both sides, the camera switched to the player tunnel.

The first thing that came into view was the captains of both sides.

Lekai and Neuer!

Both of them were holding the ball boys, without any verbal communication, looking forward with serious expressions.

The players behind were in the same posture.

The disciplines of Arsenal and Bayern Munich are extremely strict, and there will be no problem of pacing back and forth in the player tunnel.

The entire player tunnel was extremely quiet, in sharp contrast to the heat outside.

This also gave people a huge sense of oppression out of thin air.

Soon, the referee looked down at the watch and pointed forward.

"Get ready to play!"

Lekai took a deep breath and shouted: "Forward!!!!!!"

"Arsenal!!!!!!!!!"

The Gunners shouted.

On the other side, Neuer also roared: "mia san mia (We are us)!"

This is the spiritual slogan of Bayern Munich.

Along with Neuer's voice, Bayern players also shouted slogans loudly.

The slogans of both sides intertwined and instantly ignited the scene.

After the slogans, both sides strode out of the player tunnel, ready for this fierce battle!
