Chapter 768

(The third change, finally completed the task)

At the end of the game, Li Huan's third goal broke all the confidence of the Hoffenheim people. In fact, even if they were full of confidence, it would be difficult for Hoffenheim to have a chance to score two goals in stoppage time in 3 minutes. In terms of goals, two teams with similar strengths, it is the strength that determines the outcome. It is possible to score two goals in 3 minutes, but that requires great luck, more often than not scoring a single goal. Got counterattacked.

After the game, the reporter of "Rhein Neckar Zeitung" interviewed Li Huan again after half a year, this time Li Huan personally agreed.

The reporter of "Rhein Neckar Zeitung" said: "Congratulations, you have staged another hat trick."

Li Huan smiled and said calmly: "Thank you, scoring three goals in one game is not an easy task. Especially against the defending champion."

"Did you know your goal could send Hoffenheim out of the Champions League?"

Li Huan shook his head and said: "I don't believe that the defending champion will not be able to qualify in the group stage. The group stage is very strong. Neither Standard Liege nor Olympiacos can shake Hoffenheim."

"Facing your old club's hat-trick, how do you feel?"

"It's always good to win, it's even more pleasing to have your own goals lead to the victory. It doesn't matter which team scores. If I don't score, maybe we lose. It's me First hat-trick for Arsenal in the Champions League and hopefully it's not the last."

"Then why don't you celebrate after you score?"

"Because I can't bear to sprinkle salt on the wounds of fans and teammates who like me. After leaving Hoffenheim, they still like to watch me play, and I like them too."

"Having defeated the defending champion, are you looking forward to the Champions League final this season?"

"We must maintain a humble attitude, because there are many teams that are no worse than us, so we will meet every opponent with our feet on the ground."

"This is Arsenal's 14th consecutive victory. Have you ever thought about replicating the unbeaten record of the 0304 season to win the championship?"

Li Huan shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it, because our goal is the triple crown, not just the league championship."

"Can I ask you a personal question?"

Li Huan answered simply, "No."

The reporter of "Rhein Neckar Zeitung" smiled awkwardly, and said: "I am not asking about your love life, but about the World Cup. The World Cup qualifiers are over, and the South African world will start soon. Don't you want to Do you want to participate in this World Cup feast?"

Li Huan's expression became a little complicated, and he said, "For a person like me, the World Cup can only be a floating cloud."

"Haven't you thought about joining the German team?"

"I have thought about it, but I don't want to become a German for the World Cup. In the same way, I think becoming a German to play in the World Cup is also an insult to the World Cup."

After Li Huan finished speaking, the reporter wanted to interview for a while, but Li Huan postponed that he was very tired and wanted to go back to the locker room to take a shower, so he left the reporter and the fans and returned to the locker room.

The locker room was very lively. The players celebrated the victory crazily after taking a shower, but the head coach Wenger still did not appear in the locker room. After communicating with the fans in the stands for a while, he went directly to the press conference hall to participate in the UEFA Champions League. The post-match press conference hosted by the Football Association.

At the press conference, Lannick was the first to speak. At this moment, Lannick's mood was very complicated. He was still a little jealous of Li Huan, but when summing up the game, he couldn't avoid the fact that Li Huan scored a hat trick, " If you want any player in the Arsenal team to score a goal, it can only be Li Huan. Everyone knows how good his relationship is. Everyone knows what kind of player he is and what he has experienced. Today It is not uncommon for him to score a hat-trick, he has done it many times, the reason why we are all surprised is because this is the first time he faces his old club.

With one win and two losses in three games, we are in danger. In the next three group matches, we have to win at least two of them to have a chance.If we want to be more confident, we must win all the next three games.It's difficult, but not impossible. "

Immediately afterwards, Rangnick analyzed the main reasons for Hoffenheim's defeat in this game. "Arsenal's strength is very strong. This is a recognized fact. Even at home, we are not sure that we can beat Arsenal. The outcome can be said to be decided by small accidents. Li Huan's first goal let We fell into a passive position, followed by an unwarranted penalty kick. The opponent's big man was very good at acting, and we fell behind again. Of course, it is impossible to deny Li Huan's personal ability. Desperation. In terms of creating opportunities and seizing opportunities, Arsenal are better than us, so the loss is inevitable."

Professor Wenger's speech was too tactful and stylized. The professor said: "For us, this is an important game. We are organized, disciplined and focused. Except for the last few minutes, we have basically been No threats. The most important thing is to avoid mistakes, be patient and take your chances.

I think the team as a whole is in better shape than in the last league game, and they are more physical. The problem in this game is that the opponents press all the way and they don't take risks when they get the ball. But more emphasis on ball control.We have to play organized, because the opponent is a bit draining our patience and fighting spirit. "

Professor Wenger also specifically praised Li Huan's performance, "I seldom praise a player individually, but today I must make an exception. Li Huan is an extraordinary player. He brings calmness, confidence and strength to the team. Fabregas gave the team a good balance and rhythm, which is an important reason for our victory today. I hope Li Huan can continue to be so brave until we win the championship."

The first match day of the third round of the UEFA Champions League ended. Arsenal defeated the defending champion away and ranked first with 9 points in three games. Olympiacos defeated Standard Liege 2:1 at home. Ranked second with 6 points, the defending champion Hoffenheim ranked third with 3 points in three games, and Standard Liege lost three games in a row, ranking first from the bottom.

Standard Liege has been characterized as a weak team, and the place to qualify for the group has become a struggle between Arsenal, Hoffenheim and Olympiacos. Arsenal is in a better situation, but they may be pulled down if they are not careful. And Hoffenheim has reached the edge of the cliff, they do not want to be eliminated in the group stage, in the next three games must win two games, but also to see the record of Arsenal and Olympiacos.As long as Arsenal win one more game, they will basically pass the test, but it is not enough to win the first place in the group.

This situation in Group H was not expected by the outside media and fans before the start of the Champions League. At that time, many people believed that Olympiacos and Standard Liege could not cause any trouble to Hoffenheim and Arsenal, but now it seems that, Hoffenheim's strength has declined sharply.Olympiacos already have the power to shake them.

Arsenal's victory over Hoffenheim is not unpopular, but the other two games on the same day were frighteningly cold. The coldest one was Barcelona's loss to Rubin Kazan at home. Fans all over the world thought they were wrong, because Rubin Kazan was also called a belly before the game.In this way, Group F became messy, with Barcelona ranked first and Inter Milan ranked fourth, but the point difference between Inter Milan and Barcelona is only 1 point, and any of the four teams may qualify, and anyone may be eliminated. disuse.

If Barcelona's loss to Rubin Kazan was a cold wave, Liverpool's home defeat to Lyon could at least be called a cold air. Liverpool, who has always been an expert in foreign wars and an amateur in civil wars, has always been stable in the Champions League. The battle is also a layman. After three rounds, they only scored 3 points, ranking third, [-] points behind Lyon, and the qualifying situation is also precarious.

On the second match day of the group stage, upsets continued. Real Madrid lost to the old Milan at home, Bayern was defeated by the young Bordeaux, and Bordeaux also showed the best momentum in Group A.

The third round of the UEFA Champions League has almost turned into an unpopular game. Among the three major leagues of Serie A, La Liga and Premier League, only the Premier League is still strong. Except for Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal are all very strong. After the game, European bookmakers adjusted their winning odds in a timely manner. Arsenal rose to second place in one fell swoop, Chelsea, which beat Atletico Madrid 4-0, rose to first place, and Manchester United ranked third. Many media believe that this season It is very likely that three Premier League teams will appear in the Champions League semi-finals, and it is not impossible to meet again in the final.

The ferocity of Arsenal's momentum has made the whole of Europe fear. Kaiser Beckenbauer, who watched the game live, also said that Arsenal is playing football from another world. Although it is not more enjoyable than Barcelona, ​​it is more rhythmic. Faster and more passionate, it is completely comparable to Barcelona. He believes that Arsenal will be able to win the Champions League in at most two seasons if they persist like this.

UEFA's official website believes that this season's Arsenal has been completely reborn. The combination of overall strength and the personal abilities of the stars is perfect. As long as they are not troubled by major injuries, they have a good chance of becoming a member of the Champions League champion family.UEFA President Michel Platini also began to praise Arsenal. He believes that Arsenal has truly combined victory and art, which will play a big role in promoting football in the future. role model.
