There is a dream called football

Chapter 396 Champions League Qualification

Dinamo Zagreb is located in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia.

This is also one of the top giants in Croatia. This club has trained many top stars in history.

Everyone is most familiar with the 1998 World Cup, Croatia's golden generation of Suk and Boban.

Both of these two Croatian cores came from Dinamo Zagreb. In addition, this club has a good relationship with Asia. Zhiliang Miura played in this club.

But at this time, Dinamo Zagreb should say that there are no big names. The biggest big name in the team is Eduardo who later transferred to Arsenal.

However, their head coach has a lot of background. It was the famous Yugoslav defender Josip Kurze.

When the Arsenal team flew to Zagreb, Wenger's statement was very clear. This ball is a war, and Arsenal can only win.

After all, for a team like Arsenal, losing the Champions League qualification is basically a disaster.

The opposing coach Kurze also said that Croatian football has to defend its honor, and they are confident that they will create considerable trouble for Arsenal.

The ball will be held at the Maximilian Stadium, with more than 3 fans entering the stadium, which is a medium-sized stadium.

In fact, the outside world is most concerned about whether Arsenal will have the aftermath of the World Cup.

Most of the giants will have the sequelae of the World Cup. This is also the FIFA virus. After all, the European League starts only one month after the World Cup final. For those top teams that have contributed a lot of international football, it is very difficult.

But it is okay for the Croatian team, because Croatia did not perform well in this World Cup and was eliminated early, so the Croatian club has not been affected by too many World Cup sequelae.

At the beginning of the game, Arsenal were really in a bad state. For example, players like Henry were all players who made it to the World Cup finals, so their physical fitness was greatly affected. The opponents were barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. They launched a fierce attack from the beginning.

With three tricks coming, Arsenal's midfield is still a bit embarrassed, and the new defensive lineup needs to cooperate.

But in this case, as long as the ball is not conceded, it doesn't matter. After slowly stabilizing, Arsenal can use their own tactics to suppress their opponents.

After Dinamo Zagreb stormed for 15 minutes without scoring, the balance of the game began to tilt, and Arsenal began to take the initiative.

First, the midfield is fully controlled, and Dinamo Zagreb is not enough to compete with Arsenal in the midfield.

After controlling the midfield, Arsenal began to master the game, and then it was much easier.

The opponent fans can also see that this gap is a bit too big. Basically, as long as Arsenal stabilizes the midfield, then there are not many ways for their own side.

However, after a 15-minute break, Dinamo Zagreb made another effort. The first half was their only chance, because when their physical fitness was good, they might still attack Arsenal. When their physical fitness declined in the second half, they really lost the final advantage.

Using their physical advantages to make up for other disadvantages, Dinamo Zagreb was still able to keep a clean sheet in the first half, and Wenger has a lot of experience. He will not entangle with his opponents, let's wait until the second half.

In the second half, sure enough, after 60 minutes, the opponent who relied on physical strength could no longer run and moved a lot slower, and this was Arsenal's chance.

After a dizzying series of short passes for Arsenal in midfield, Rosicky finally played the ball down the left.

When Fabregas took the ball here, the opponent's left defense line could not move, and Fabregas volleyed directly to the far corner of the goal with his left foot.

The ball seemed to have eyes, sticking to the lawn and drilling into the far corner of the goal.

1 to 0.
Once the ball was lost, the opponent was like a deflated ball. They were not as good as others, but now their physical strength was exhausted and they lost the ball. Therefore, Dinamo Zagreb played abnormally. After 5 minutes, Henry broke through easily in the middle.

0 to 2 at home.
The fans of Dinamo Zagreb also knew that there was no game, and the players on the court moved more and more, and the yellow cards began to fly.

The referee from Greece gave out two yellow cards to suppress the fiery atmosphere of the scene. At this time, Wenger was very smart and replaced several main players, calling for gold to withdraw the troops, so as to avoid the players from being injured.

But when the mentality collapsed, the opponent's defense was like paper. By 78 minutes, Dinamo Zagreb's defense was penetrated again. This time, it was Li Qiao's right-sided arc pass, and Adebayor's header from the center hit the goal.

3 to 0.
The game not only lost the suspense in this game, basically the two rounds have ended, and it is almost impossible for Dinamo Zagreb to comeback at Arsenal's home court in the next game.

Wenger has also completely relaxed. If he does not play well in the league, he can slowly adjust and run in, but if he does not play well in the qualifying rounds, he will have no chance. Now it is good, at least 2000 million euros have been credited to the account, which is very important for Arsenal at this time.

The game became very peaceful in the last moments, both sides were getting through the garbage time, and when the time came, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Arsenal breathed a sigh of relief and entered the last 32 of the Champions League.

Everyone celebrated together, and those who have suffered from insomnia in recent days can also sleep well. Of course, if someone wants to experience the nightlife in Zagreb, then... Come to think of it, there is nothing to say about Wenger's discipline.

Back in the hotel room, Li Qiao's roommate Van Persie turned on the latest laptop and showed off, Li Qiao laughed.

"You still play games."

"Yes, this notebook is really good for playing games. With a memory of 512, I really can't believe that one day the memory can be so large."

sweat.

For Li Qiao, who has a computer with 16G memory, 512 is really a good memory in the past, it seems to be an ancient thing.

In addition, Li Qiao found that the football and racing game screens in this era are really horrible, and many things can only be made up by himself.

"Would you like to play a race car with me?"

"No, you can play by yourself, I'd rather go swimming."

There is a swimming pool on the top floor of the hotel, overlooking the beautiful scenery of Zagreb, which is really cozy. Lehman is watching the scenery and drinking champagne here.

It's rare to relax, the new season begins, and soon it will be a challenge in the league. Arsenal's first game of the new season is against Aston Villa.

The next day, the Arsenal team returned to London. They were about to prepare for the first game of the new season. The goal of Arsenal's league this season is to keep the Champions League.
