Chapter 888 The Gunner Myth Conquers the Media
(Second more)

Compared with the big battle between Arsenal and Barcelona, ​​almost no one paid attention to the match between Inter Milan and CSKA Moscow. After the game, except for the Italian media’s long report that Inter Milan entered the top four for the first time in seven years, almost every other country They are all reporting on the goal battle between Arsenal and Barcelona.

"Two teams that advocate offensive football launched a decisive battle at the Nou Camp. Although Arsenal played a defensive counterattack in this game, there was no shortage of goals in the game. 8 goals made fans all over the world overjoyed. In the end, Arsenal advanced with a total score of 10:8. In this 4:4 draw, Messi, the peerless double pride of contemporary football, scored four goals alone, and Li Huan staged a hat trick. It is worth mentioning that this is Arsenal defender Li Huan scored hat-tricks in two consecutive games, Messi failed to score in the last game, and ultimately could not help Barcelona advance."

The report on UEFA's official website is fairly normal. Although there are many compliments, it is mainly a statement of facts.British media reports are somewhat exaggerated.

The headline of the "Sun" was "Terrifying Li Huan conquered the Nou Camp", "Two hat-tricks at home and away, the super defender scored the largest stadium in Europe with goals, 18 Champions League goals, Li Huan is close to his own Champions League goals Records, in front of the terrifying Li Huan, Messi, who played the big four, could only bow his head and admit defeat. Even scoring four goals could not make the team advance, and he could not win a victory. Messi really lamented that he was so bright."

"Daily Mail" headline is "Li Huan!Li Huan!Li Huan! ", "The deduction of a defensive counterattack is so thrilling, so that the fans are fascinated. Only Barcelona and Arsenal can do it in this world. The two superstars of the world, Messi and Li Huan, jointly staged a goal show and a hat-trick. PK big four, Li Huan, who played steadily in the end, defeated Messi and defended the throne of the world's number one, and now he is leading Arsenal to the first Champions League in history."

"The Times" commented: "Messi is the sixth player in the history of the Champions League to have four goals, and is also the first shooter to score four goals in a single game in the knockout round. Whether it is the star Ruud van Nistelrooy, Shevchenko , Van Basten, meteor Pursau, and Inzaghi Jr. All of their big four hits happened in the Champions League group stage. But it is regrettable that because there is a more amazing Li Huan, such a magical performance cannot be achieved. Helping Barcelona advance, this made the Argentine so embarrassed after the game that he even broke the habit of collecting the balls used for hat-tricks."

Spain's "Mundo Deportivo" lamented after the game: "Who made Messi, who staged four goals, so depressed, and who made Barcelona unable to advance after scoring eight goals in two games? There is only one answer, Super Saiyan Li Huan , a madman who is super perverted on both offensive and defensive ends, he makes the whole world under the shadow of his magic wings."

"Daily Sports Daily" was not convinced by Arsenal's promotion, and even refused to accept it, "Barcelona did not lose to Arsenal. From the scene, Barcelona even had a slight advantage, but in the two rounds of the game, the magical Messi lost to the even more amazing Li Huan, and in the second round Arsenal also adopted a defensive counterattack tactic and placed a bus at the door, which made Barcelona's goal even more difficult."

The Madrid media "Marca" applauded Arsenal, "This is a great game. After Arsenal defeated Barcelona in the last game, Professor Wenger adopted a defensive counterattack in this game. tactics, but Guardiola’s team still has nothing to do with Arsenal. There is no doubt about Arsenal’s promotion to the semi-finals, which is also good news for Madrid, which prevents Madrid’s fans from being humiliated by their arch-enemy at the Bernabeu.”

"Aspen" also called on Madrid fans to go to the Bernabeu to support Arsenal in the final if Arsenal can enter the final, to express their gratitude to Arsenal for eliminating Barcelona.

The German media also praised Arsenal's wonderful performance one after another, encouraging Bayern to eliminate Manchester United and Arsenal to join forces in the final.

"Barcelona was eliminated by the great Li Huan!" "Bild" commented on Arsenal's promotion, "In just 2 minutes, Li Huan made Messi's efforts in a game come to naught, and the joy of Barcelona's promotion became endless. sadness."

The "Munich Evening News" said: "Without Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal is still striding forward. Under the leadership of Li Huan, this atypical gunman is still extremely sharp and tenacious. This is what Bundesliga teams are used to. Li Huan passed on the spirit he forged in the Bundesliga to Arsenal. It was this spirit that made Arsenal muster the courage to kill Barcelona on the edge of the cliff. Bayern, who will be playing today, should learn from the spirit of the Arsenal people. Trafford beat Manchester United."

I don’t know if Bayern was really stimulated by Arsenal and Li Huan. On the second day of the game, they even pulled two goals in a row when they were three goals behind Manchester United in the first half. In the end, they had the advantage of more away goals. They eliminated the Red Devils in the away game, and after a lapse of nine years, they reached the semi-finals again. They competed with Lyon, who eliminated Bordeaux, for a place in the final.

After the four quarter-finals, the top four of the Champions League are freshly released. Arsenal and Inter Milan have a strong dialogue. It is believed that whoever enters the final will win the championship. The pair of Lyon and Bayern has almost become a team to accompany the prince to study .

It can also be seen in the odds of winning the Champions League after the game. Arsenal topped the list with 1:2.2, Inter Milan's odds: 1:4.5, Bayern only: 1:8.5, and Lyon is even more pitiful, they only: 1:39 , basically no bookmaker is optimistic about them becoming champions. .
When the Arsenal players returned to London from Barcelona, ​​they were greeted by thousands of Arsenal fans at Heathrow Airport. The fans unfurled banners reading "Win the Double". Li Huan and Theo Walcott were excited by the fans Hold high, the players and fans celebrated for nearly an hour before leaving the airport and heading back to Kearney.

After returning to London, Arsenal did not have a holiday, and it was not easy for them. Although they led Manchester United by 5 points with 10 rounds left in the league, losing the championship is only theoretically possible, but this round their The opponent is the century-old rival Tottenham. The same city derby has always been a game that can be taken out of the league alone. Just like Guardiola said that the game against Real Madrid is more important than the Champions League. For Arsenal, this game is similar to the Champions League. .

If Arsenal can beat Tottenham in the away game and Manchester United lose to Blackburn in the away game, Arsenal will be able to win the championship four rounds ahead of schedule. The feeling of winning the championship at the door of the arch-enemy is definitely what every Arsenal person wants to taste .In addition, Tottenham are still competing with Liverpool and Manchester City for the Champions League places. Arsenal doesn't mind stabbing their opponents when they win the championship.

Although Arsenal attaches great importance to this city derby, they are in a relaxed mood. After all, the strength of Tottenham is not on the same level as Barcelona. Said it was an upset.

On the first night back from Barcelona, ​​most of the players watched the other two quarter-finals of the Champions League honestly at home. These two teams are likely to be Arsenal's opponents in the finals. Professor Wenger told the players The task of watching the game is assigned, and it will be checked the next day.

The next morning, after two hours of training, Professor Wenger led the players to observe the two games last night in the studio hall of the training base, summing up the gains and losses. After watching, everyone agreed that Lyon was not enough to pose too much threat to Bayern. It is likely that the seasoned Bayern Munich will advance to the final.

In the afternoon, Arsenal got good news. The team doctor Rice announced that Van Persie was able to participate in the competition, but his physical fitness is not enough for a game. It is not a big problem to play as a substitute for more than ten minutes. The current lack of real strikers can only rely on Li Huan For Arsenal who scored goals, this is a great thing. Although this season is coming to an end, important games are still to come. The opponents in the Champions League are very strong and cruel. Arsenal need Van Persie to score goals like this A striker who can also organize.

After training in the afternoon, Li Huan was about to go home when Wilshere and Nasri found Li Huan. Wilshere hugged Li Huan affectionately and said, "Li, let's go to the bar tonight to be happy." ?”

Li Huan was about to refuse, but Nasri said: "Li, this is to celebrate Robin's return, Cesc and the others are also going, everyone is happy and happy, we eliminated Barcelona, ​​we haven't celebrated yet."

At this time, Van Persie was standing in front of his BMW 5 Series, smiling and beckoning to Li Huan. Li Huan thought that he hadn't communicated with his teammates for a long time, so he agreed to come down, walked to the parking lot and drove his own Ferrari with Van Persie and Fabre. Gas and others go to Amber Bar together.

Amber Bar is a bar with a Latin American style. The atmosphere of the bar is wild and free, and has always been loved by young people in London.

Fabregas, Van Persie, Wilshere, Nasri, and Li Huan each ordered their favorite alcohol at the bar, found a table by the window to drink and eat Mediterranean food, but their eyes It has always been the hobby of these players to roam the bar with wild and scantily dressed fashion girls and find romance in the bar.

Li Huan and Fan Persie were all well-dressed and wearing famous watches. At first glance, they looked like wealthy young men. After a while, a few girls with gorgeous dresses and good looks came over to say hello to them.

After chatting for less than 10 minutes, Van Persie, Wilshere, and Nasri had a heated fight with the three girls, as if they were old lovers who hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, while Li Huan and Fabregas were honest, just talking to the girl in front of them. The two girls were chatting, and as it was getting late, the bar began to vacate space for dancing. Li Huan didn't like the girl in front of him who was too romantic, so he went to the bar under the pretext of asking for a glass of wine.

Li Huan ordered a glass of beer and was considering whether he should go back first, when suddenly he heard someone behind him yell in surprise, "Ah, it turned out to be you."
