Grass roots glory

Chapter 448 This is the Champions League

The Westfalen Stadium was packed an hour before the start of the game. The TIFO organized by the three major fan organizations in the South Stand had their own characteristics. In the "Honeycomb" area, a model of the Big Ears Cup with the Champions League as the background was displayed. On the trophy The words Dortmund are engraved-this most directly reflects the aspirations of Dortmund fans.

Do princes and generals care about each other?We are definitely not here to play soy sauce in the Champions League.

The "Avengers" TIFO, a relatively angry fan organization, directly aimed at the opponent in this match - Van Persie was holding a gun and preparing to design the team flag of Dortmund, but Zhou Tiancheng, the "giant" who fell from the sky, directly Step on your feet.

This is a demonstration with Arsenal's nickname "The Gunners"-they will not have any chance to shoot today!
These two TIFOs are so eye-catching that Yang Cheng brought a group of members in front of the South Stand. Although they tried their best, they were a little disappointed. Compared with this eye-catching TIFO, the low-end cheering sticks The equipment is too low, and the sense of presence is much weaker.

But Dortmund's blatant demonstration made Sky Sports commentator Bob Clem extremely upset.

"Ha! Really ignorant and fearless, Dortmund want to win the championship? Even if they beat Arsenal and Chelsea, win Chelsea and Liverpool, win Liverpool and Manchester United... Even if the Premier League teams can't beat them, there are other European teams. And I think these four Premier League teams are enough to overthrow them, and no giants can kill these four Premier League teams. However, they have been away from the Champions League for too long, and it is normal not to understand what this means. Definitely feel like there is no difference between the Bundesliga and the Champions League. Every team that is crowned champions of the league will have that confidence, but they will soon understand."

Dortmund players came out of the tunnel and felt the deafening shouts on the pitch, interlaced with the theme song of the Champions League. Except for a few players with experience in the Champions League, everyone else couldn't help shaking.

Shinji Kagawa couldn't help whispering: "Is this the Champions League? It's really different!"

He feels that he is the greatest luck to be able to start in such an important game, and at the same time, he is even more grateful for Klopp's trust in his heart.

Zhou Tiancheng was next to him, one in front of the other, hearing his emotion, turned his head and said with a smile: "Xiangchuan, don't forget what to do on the court."

Shinji Kagawa immediately shook his head: "No, I'm just a little surprised."

"What's the surprise? I think it's just that the music has changed."

Shinji Kagawa smiled awkwardly.

……

The atmosphere at the Westphalon Stadium was warm enough, and after the referee blew the opening whistle, the atmosphere reached its peak.

However, for the first-class European stars in Arsenal's main lineup, this kind of momentum interference will not have any obvious effect.Wenger obviously considered the possible difficulties in the away game before the game, so Arsenal also adopted an active counterattack strategy, using the confrontation that Premier League teams are good at to compete with Dortmund in the midfield.

The scene was very hot from the beginning. The two sides fought back in the midfield area many times, and physical confrontation abounded.

Although Arsenal is the technical stream among the Premier League teams, there is no Premier League team that is not good at physical confrontation.After all, the label of traditional English football is the long pass based on physical confrontation.

Although there is a joke in today's transfer market: the body is as strong as a cow, and the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.It means that muscular men who have no skills at their feet and can only rely on their bodies for food can now only make a living in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.The teams that rank among the top in the Premier League all year round are also following the trend of modern football and are shifting towards technology flow.

But in the Arsenal team, there really is such a muscular man.

Cameroon international Alexander Song is such a rare wonder. His skills at his feet are still not at the level of being able to stably occupy the main midfielder in Arsenal. His ability to confront has been appreciated by Wenger.He is absolutely indispensable for Arsenal.

This time he was arranged to mark Dortmund's deadly pass from the midfield to the striker in the midfield. Today, Shinji Kagawa is mainly responsible for this job. He is the team's main attacking midfielder.

"Shinji Kagawa was intercepted! Against Alexander Song, his physical fitness is obviously not at the same level...Pass to Rosicky, Arsenal counterattack, dangerous!"

Shinji Kagawa was obviously not used to the atmosphere and rhythm of the Champions League, so he was a bit slower and was directly intercepted.

But then Arsenal's counterattack was very simple and rude. Song passed the ball to Rosicky, the core midfielder, and the Czech midfielder made precise adjustments and sent an overhead pass to the wing.Piszczek was already paying attention to the position, but before he got stuck, a figure was faster than him, started from a position three meters behind him, and came to him in two or three seconds to complete the overtaking.

"Theo Walcott! Accelerate! He accelerates! Like a cheetah galloping on the East African savannah! The speed that makes the opponent desperate, he completely flies!"

Dortmund's entire back line couldn't keep up with Walcott. This mistake turned the entire backcourt into Walcott's speed show. His 10-meter speed can reach 3 seconds, the top speed on the planet. One of the cheetahs.

With such a top speed, even if Zhou Tiancheng has a long stride, it will be very difficult to catch up from the midfield. To be honest, seeing his opponent's starting speed like this, even his eyelids twitched, thinking about estimating Jiang Hao's speed. This madman is still one level short, and even he is a little desperate.

In the end, the moment Walcott kicked, Zhou Tiancheng was still two steps away, but there was no way, Weidenfeller had already been flashed halfway through the empty goal, he could only try his best to slide the tackle to the ground, hoping to seal the angle .

However, there is still a finger-width between his toes and the ball, but the distance between this finger is decisive. Walcott kicked up and shot, around Weidenfeller's arm, and the ball slowly rolled into Dortmund's goal goal.

Zhou Tiancheng got up disappointed and saw Shinji Kagawa walking over.

"Kagawa, you forgot what I told you, don't let them entangle you! Do you think the confrontation between the Premier League teams is a joke?"

Xiang Chuan lowered his head, heard Zhou Tiancheng's words, nodded and admitted: "Yes, Zhou Sang, this is my fault, please forgive me. I think my speed is already very fast."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled and said: "Have you realized it now? This is the Champions League. When you 'think' you can do it, there will always be many surprises. But it's nothing, now it's less than 10 minutes, and it's just one goal behind. ...Calm down, relax, just treat it like a game, play with them slowly."

Sky Sports commentator Bob Clem yelled excitedly: "GOOOOOAL!!! Walcott! He made Westphalia into despair! Haha, is Dortmund still confident of winning the championship now? I thought there would be Sunday Achievements can do whatever they want? The Champions League is not his back garden!"
