Chapter 422 : This is gambling, not gambling!
Time flies by like taking a stimulant.

After the FA Cup match against Everton, Arsenal immediately ushered in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.This round, they will go away to Germany to challenge the mighty Bayern Munich.

In the previous first round, Arsenal defeated their opponents [-]-[-] at home, and almost everyone was not optimistic about Arsenal in this game.The strength of the defending champion Bayern Munich is well known, and in the previous two rounds of the league, Bayern's state is very good.Facing Wolfsburg, which is known as Wolfsburg, and miners Schalke [-], they won a big victory. They scored [-] goals and only conceded [-] goals in the two games.

You must know that Schalke Zero Four is not a belly, an absolute powerhouse in the Bundesliga.Although the current Bundesliga is monopolized by Bayern and their arch-enemy Borussia Dortmund, the Azzurri are still strong contenders for the top three in the league.

Whether in the league or the Champions League, Schalke can be described as a very difficult bone in the eyes of many giants.Moreover, the most commendable thing about Schalke [-] is their defense. With the main central defender of the German national team, Hewedes, the talented Greek defender Papadopoulos, the young talent Matip of Cameroon, and the Brazilian defender Santana, at the same time There are also the absolute main force of the Austrian national team, Fuchs and others.

The defense can be said to be full of talents, but Schalke, who has such a strong defense ability, was finally poured five goals by Bayern
In the face of Bayern Munich's huge offensive firepower, Schalke's defense can be at least one or two grades higher than the current Arsenal's defense, except for the goalkeeper, of course.

Moreover, although Wolfsburg's performance in recent years is not top-notch, at least they still have the qualification for the UEFA Cup.Defense is also one of their strengths. For example, last season Bayern's own "iron waist" came from Brazil's powerful defensive midfielder Guztavo, who is now joining Wolfsburg.

And it is such a strong team, which is worse than Schalke [-] at the Allianz Arena, because they were madly poured six goals by Bayern.

Meanwhile, at Allianz's Arsenal, the fate can be imagined.

Although at the press conference before the game, Wenger repeatedly emphasized that Arsenal will do everything in this game and strive to reverse it.But... no one is optimistic about them.

Whether it is football celebrities or fans, even the media have bad-mouthed Arsenal all the way.As for Arsenal's former glory, both Bergkamp and Henry said in interviews that the difficulties facing Arsenal now are quite strong.

"Hey, Li. Now everyone is not optimistic about Arsenal's away trip. What do you think about it?" The reporters have dealt with Li Zihan a lot, and they also understand that the "seemingly" reserved and shy The "boy" character.

He is definitely not domineering in football, and his temper is considered one of the best players.But he never admit defeat, not convinced.No matter what kind of disadvantages you face, as long as the final result does not come out, you will always have fighting spirit.

Perhaps, this is the reason why Li Zihan can often create miracles and success.Like the legendary comebacks at the Etihad and Anfield in the league.

The reporters came to interview several key players of the two teams before the game, and they believed that Li Zihan would give them satisfactory answers.

as predicted.

I saw Li Zihan smiled slightly, and said: "If I were you, I would write down the names of those people (the famous football players who slandered Arsenal in the media and "the bricks are called beasts") on a note. Come down, after this game is over, interview them one by one, I think it must be very interesting."

It is very interesting, but the interesting premise is that Arsenal must win this game, and get rid of the defending champion, and successfully enter the next round.The reporter of "Daily Mail" who interviewed Li Zihan thought of it.

"But even the gaming companies are not optimistic about you. Whether it is William Hill, 365BET or other large gaming companies, the odds on Arsenal are very high." The reporter said.

The data analysis capabilities of gaming companies are still very strong, and they are even more professional than many professional sports companies.So their analysis and data are still quite reliable, and as we all know, the odds of whoever the bookmaker is optimistic about are very low, and the odds of whoever is not optimistic are high.

Basically, if the odds given are 90.00, [-] or something, then it means that this team will win [-]% of the game.

Li Zihan patted the reporter brother on the shoulder, "I look familiar with you" and asked, "What are the odds now?"

"The home team pays [-] for one, and the visiting team pays [-] for one." The home team is Bayern Munich, and the visiting team is naturally Arsenal.

Li Zihan blushed shyly on his face and whispered: "If I get 300 million pounds, wouldn't it be 200 million pounds after a game?" Then he said to the reporter brother: "Hey, brother , tell you a quick way to get rich, now spend as much money as you can to buy the lottery ticket Arsenal won, and you can turn it four times in one game."

Then Li Zihan happily left under the astonished eyes of the reporter.
The next day, the news that Li Zihan spent 300 million pounds to bet on Arsenal's victory appeared on the pages of major media newspapers.

There are those who support, oppose, criticize and encourage. Opposing players to participate in gambling has always been a matter for major football associations and clubs to crack down on, but if people buy their own wins instead of the opponent's wins, then there is not much There is more to say.

After all, buying football lottery tickets is not illegal.
300 million pounds is not a small amount for Li Zihan. You must know that the annual salary given to him by Arsenal is only about 350 million pounds, and Li Zihan's one-year wages spent on a single gamble is definitely considered a big gamble. up.

Many celebrities scoffed at Li Zihan's behavior, thinking it was grandstanding and emotional.

And many of Li Zihan's "brainless fans" are sharply fighting back. Now Li Zihan is the darling in the eyes of the media, and there is no need to attract attention like this.Because journalists who want to do an exclusive interview with Li Zihan line up every week, and they can line up from London to Manchester.So the brainless fans think this is a way for Li Zihan to support the team, because like the club, Li Zihan, who has been suppressed for a year's salary, has no way out but to move forward.Losing this game, Arsenal will leave this season's Champions League, and Li Zihan will also lose a year's salary.So in Chinese terms, Li Zihan is sharing weal and woe with the club, using the words "destroy the boat" and "put it to death and live later"!
So when it comes to sensationalism and attracting attention, these "outdated" celebrities are more like them.

And so far, the Bayern fans are curling their lips, saying that they will be killed for sure, but not necessarily for the later generations.

And Wenger publicly stated that Li Zihan's spirit of supporting the club is worthy of recognition, but the way is wrong.

Because Wenger is very concerned about the public appearance of his disciples, he opposes his players smoking, drinking and other unhealthy behaviors that affect his public image.You can tell from the several times he criticized Wilshere for smoking.

Therefore, for Li Zihan's participation in gambling, Wenger actually does not support or even strongly opposes it.Although he knew that Li Zihan's starting point was very good, but he also used the lottery of a legal gaming company instead of gambling underground.

In fact, this is not the first time that Li Zihan has publicly spent huge sums of money to buy his team to win.In the previous Champions League group, everyone was not optimistic about Arsenal's away game against Dortmund.Li Zihan spent a huge amount of money to buy the Arsenal Victory lottery, which made the gaming company lose nearly ten million pounds.

And this time, if Li Zihan wins, the gaming company will pay him more than 1000 million pounds.
All in all, whether or not the game starts, the intensity and attention before the game can be seen.

The focus of the match between Bayern Munich and Arsenal was actually very strong to suppress the second round of the match between Barcelona and Manchester City. There are two major focus battles in this upper half of the match.But now many people are focusing on Arsenal and Bayern Munich, but they pay less attention to the match between Manchester City and Barcelona.

On the second day after the match with Everton, the Arsenal team immediately went to Munich, Germany.And Bayern Munich also generously vacated the grass and training facilities for the visiting team Arsenal, allowing them to maintain their state with two days before the game started, and did not throw their opponents away like other stingy teams. Go to the training base of other teams in the same city.

For the behavior of a gentleman like Bayern Munich, Arsenal officials also expressed their gratitude.At the same time, he said that no matter what the result of this game is, it will not affect the relationship between the two parties.

Um. In fact, Bayern and Arsenal have nothing to do with each other.There is no deep hatred between them, nor is there any particularly friendly relationship.All in all, it is the kind of situation where "the friendship between gentlemen fades into water"
The friendship expressed by Bayern Munich is purely to bring the relationship between the two clubs closer, because it is not a matter of one or two years for Bayern to enter the Chinese market. They also want to get a share of the big cake in China.I originally thought that winning the UEFA Champions League and the Triple Crown last season, the team's prestige has reached its peak, and it is the best opportunity to enter the Chinese market.But at this time, Li Zihan, a Chinese player who has sprung up in Italy, has joined the traditional Premier League giants Arsenal. Originally, Arsenal had a good fan base in China. With the addition of the "proud" of Chinese football, there is no one in China. The club's prestige is higher than Arsenal's.

Even if Bayern Munich is the legendary treble winner.
So Bayern Munich wants to express their friendship and then cooperate with Arsenal, hoping to get a piece of the huge cake.

Anyway, two away goals were scored, which is almost invincible for Bayern.Although Arsenal are strong this season, they are not giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona after all.Even in terms of the luxury of the team lineup, their overall strength can't keep up with Manchester City
