Chapter 203
"I don't want to predict the outcome of this game." Koeman said to Sky Sports reporters: "But I think the game will be very exciting, but Arsenal will definitely be under pressure, because they have to fight at home in the second round." The subtext of the Dutch coach is that once they defeat Arsenal at home, which has only 44% away win rate this season, the Gunners are likely to collapse under the pressure of the home fans.In Koeman's view, the relatively weak ability of the Arsenal youth army to resist pressure is an opportunity for Eindhoven.

Koeman commented on PSV's official website: "Arsenal are not the strongest team, certainly not the weakest, in my opinion they are somewhere in between. Yes, they have very good players and play very good football, maybe they dominate the whole of England, but nothing is impossible in the world. They reached the final last year and I think it will be amazing if we can knock them out. Now PSV are in good shape, not afraid of any team, I think we can play two good games. match (for the right to qualify).”

Koeman's above remarks fully express his current self-confidence. Although Arsenal had beaten Eindhoven 4:0, Arsenal at that time were basically two teams compared to now, and the Dutch had no reason to be afraid.So although Koeman didn't speak too arrogantly, the confidence in every word still showed his disdain for the current Arsenal.At present, Eindhoven is more advantageous than Arsenal in that they have fallen behind Alkmaar and Ajax by 7 and 8 points, and they don't have to worry too much about the domestic champions falling aside, so they can concentrate on the Champions League.

And if Arsenal can't solve the problem of lack of reserve forces, it will be difficult for them to cope with the pressure of multi-line operations.At present, if Arsenal stay in the domestic league, they are in danger of being overtaken by Liverpool or Portsmouth at any time.Of course, directly winning the UEFA Champions League can also directly participate in next year's UEFA Champions League, but Arsenal's recent poor performance really makes it hard to believe that they will have the good luck of last year, let alone further win the championship!

At this time,
When Arsenal warmed up, almost the whole time was booed by PSV fans.Especially the stand that Li Yuxin was close to.

He is like a switch, whichever side he is close to, there will be huge boos from the stands on that side.

But Li Yuxin was not affected at all, so he ended his warm-up and returned to the locker room with his teammates.

In the locker room of Eindhoven, when the players went out to warm up, the head coach Koeman did not go out with him, but was making final preparations in the locker room.

He put the disc in the player, adjusted the TV signal, and then waited for the players to return.

When the Eindhoven players finished warming up and returned to the locker room, Koeman motioned for everyone to be quiet.

"I have something I want to show you. I don't know how many of you watched the news the day before yesterday...I don't think you may have seen it, so I will show you today."

After speaking, he pressed the remote control.

The TV screen lights up to show the Arsenal players walking out of the airport tunnel.Li Yuxin is the focus of everyone's attention, which can be seen from the camera language in the TV broadcast.

The camera lens is aimed at Li Yuxin almost all the time, whether it is a close-up or a long-range view, whether it is a close-up or a panoramic view, Li Yuxin is the heart of the picture.

The voice-over is the voice of the news anchor describing the arrival of the Arsenal team at PSV.

The PSV players were a little weird, they didn't understand why the manager showed them this.

Arsenal players arrive in PSV on Monday, not news that needs to be highlighted?
Koman didn't explain either, but continued to let the video play in silence.

Soon Li Yuxin appeared on camera.

The voiceover of the news anchor continued: "After Li arrived in Eindhoven with the team, he was interviewed by reporters. In the interview, he fully demonstrated his belief

The voiceover ended, and Li Yuxin's voice came out: "Although it's an away game, we still have to strive to win this game. My goal is to go further."

The picture freezes, and what freezes is Li Yuxin's close-up face, which is expressionless.

The news anchor's voice came back again, looking filled with righteous indignation: "Li was very arrogant when he was being interviewed, look at his expression..."

As the picture continued to zoom in, Li Yuxin's expressionless face became bigger, almost occupying the entire picture.

"Looking at the look in his eyes, there is no expression at all, which shows that Li didn't take this game seriously at all, and this game didn't stimulate him. Of course, Li is definitely the most shining star in European football today. The Champions League group stage has just ended, and he has scored eight goals. Such a terrifying number of goals makes him very likely to defend the Champions League Golden Boot. So when facing PSV, he may not be able to cheer up. His opponent PSV Eindhoven is in his eyes. Although PSV ranks second in Serie A, Arsenal ranks first in the Bundesliga and has a clear advantage, so it is normal for him to have such thoughts... But such arrogance and arrogance are still annoying..."

Then the scene of Li Yuxin saying those words with a blank face appeared repeatedly on the screen.

"Although it's an away game...but my goal is to go further..."

I edited it and cut out that sentence. This is Li Yuxin's "subtext" that the TV station wants everyone to know.

After the video was played, Koeman said: "Obviously, our opponents didn't take us seriously."

If the players were just skeptical when watching the video, they felt that the media might have distorted Li Yuxin's words.

But now, when their head coach said it in such an affirmative tone, they all believed the head coach's words.

That's right, Li Yuxin just looks down on us

"Lee is amazing. We have repeatedly mentioned it more than once in training, so I think you should be deeply impressed. But just because we mentioned it repeatedly does not mean we are afraid. It is necessary to let them know that PSV Eindhoven cannot be underestimated."

Koeman said.

"This is our home ground. If the opponents underestimate us on our turf, each of us will become the laughing stock of the whole of Europe."

After all, Coman is still not good at talking, otherwise he could say these words with more enthusiasm.

But it doesn't matter, the effect has been achieved.

The mood of the Eindhoven players has changed a lot. They are filled with righteous indignation and unhappy that Li Yuxin looked down on them.

Now they just want to get out there and give that damn arrogant Brit a lesson

Let him know, we Eindhoven are not easy to mess with!

Koeman was on the coach's bench, watching the current game with satisfaction.Sure enough, as he expected, when he successfully angered the players, they performed better than usual.

This move seems to be the right one.

And Wenger got up from the coach's bench, walked to the sidelines, frowned and looked at the court.

Eindhoven entered the state so early in this game, which made him unexpected.

He thought that Eindhoven would attack for a while after the start of the game, but he did not expect the intensity to be so violent, and he did not expect that Eindhoven's players would be as if they had been beaten...

This is not good news. If Eindhoven is allowed to score first... Arsenal's defensive counterattack will not be easy to play. Once they cannot play defensive counterattack, with Eindhoven's offensive ability in the frontcourt, they are likely to score more goals in a short period of time.

It's really strange... Why is PSV in such a good state this game?Every PSV player is working hard on the pitch...

Look at PSV's performance before Totti's shot just now. Their players rushed up to grab the ball with a desperate posture, scaring Arsenal's players, causing Arsenal to miss the ball.

This is just a microcosm. The game has been almost 10 minutes so far, and the players of Eindhoven have always been in this rhythm and state.

It's as if they're not playing but fighting Arsenal...

If Wenger had watched TV that night, he probably would not have such doubts.

Sun Xiang who was running was shocked when he saw Li Yuxin lift his foot to stop the ball: "Okay... Hurry up!"
This is not the first time PSV has played against Arsenal, but it is indeed the first time Sun Xiang has played against Li Yuxin.The saying about Li Yuxin's speed is very popular in Europe, but Li Yuxin's speed is so fast, I have never experienced it personally, and I can't understand it just by looking at the sprint speed of 30 meters and [-] meters...

Now after Sun Xiang personally experienced it, he has a definite impression: just as those media said, the speed of this British Chinese is really... super fast
Li Yuxin, who stopped the ball, did not slow down and adjust, but took advantage of the situation to throw the football out again. This made Sun Xiang, who was planning to take advantage of Li Yuxin's slow down and stop the ball, to adjust again - he couldn't catch up at all.

"Beautiful stop is very beautiful, very suitable, it does not stop directly at the foot, but stops forward, so that there is an advance, Rong can go forward without slowing down... just like this—" David Mortensen shouted.

And the Dutch commentator panicked: "Rong dribbles through Sun Xiang in front of his speed, slow like a snail in front of him now..."

The relaxed and cheerful tone of the previous commentary is gone.

And Li Yuxin didn't give others a chance to block him head-on at all. He moved the football forward and accelerated to overtake in front of the defending defender.

Before the defenders even reached the designated defensive position, they were passed by Li Yuxin, and Alex and his partner completely became the background!

The Eindhoven fans in the stands booed Li Yuxin since he started chasing the ball, hoping to interfere with his receiving and dribbling, but all of them failed without exception.

Until now, they had no time to boo, and everyone looked nervously and horrified at Li Yuxin, who was meeting at high speed in front of the goal, and goalkeeper Gomez, who was attacking.

For Gomez, his only chance is the moment when Li Yuxin waded through Alex. As long as he attacked earlier than Li Yuxin expected, he would have the opportunity to "pull his teeth out" from Li Yuxin's feet and grab the ball.
So he didn't consider the possibility that Alex could stop Li Yuxin at all, and he attacked decisively when Li Yuxin faced Alex.

Sure enough, Li Yuxin took the football far and surpassed Alex.

But it also made him lose his grip on football.

Now both myself and Li Yuxin have a chance to grab the ball, and my advantage is that I can use my hands...

Thinking this way, Gomez suddenly opened his eyes wide in horror, because he saw Li Yuxin, who had just walked past Alex, suddenly appear in front of the football at an unimaginable speed
How...how did he rush over here?
Because he had been focusing on football before, Gomez seemed unprepared for Li Yuxin's sudden appearance. It felt like what he saw was not a coherent 24 frames per second animation, but slides one by one. In the last one, Li Yuxin just passed in front of Alex, and in the next one, Li Yuxin swung his right foot behind the football

Gomez hastily made a saving action—he was destined to miss the ball, so he could only temporarily change his mind and use his body to block Li Yuxin's shot. He stretched his body as far as possible, allowing his fingertips to toes to form a very wide defensive area, trying to block the angle of Li Yuxin's shot.

With his 1.9 meters one and his arm, he can block more than two meters two, which is amazing...

But when Li Yuxin was playing football, it wasn't the low shot that he was best at, but...a lob shot

"Loop shot?" The exclamation of the Dutch commentator exposed his disbelief now.

Li Yuxin's previous series of breakthroughs were very fast, crisp and sharp, full of sharp and tough lines. Everyone thought that he would end this attack with a powerful volley.Unexpectedly, in the end, he suddenly changed his style and came up with a soft and beautiful kick
The ball made a graceful parabola over the stunned keeper Gomez before crashing into... the empty goal

The noisy Philips Stadium in Eindhoven suddenly fell into silence at that moment.

Because not only goalkeeper Gomez was stunned, but also thousands of PSV fans in the stands.

at the same time,

milan city

Kaka is sitting on the sofa at home, watching Arsenal's Champions League quarter-final against Eindhoven away.

This season, AC Milan is in a bad situation in the league. Because of the phone gate incident last season, AC Milan was deducted eight points in the new season, and now they are firmly ranked No. [-].There is a huge gap from Inter Milan's [-] points.

It is almost impossible to win the league championship.Therefore, Ancelotti and the club's top management have adjusted their strategies.

Instead of pursuing the league championship, I hope to achieve good results in the more contingent Champions League.

The same is true for Kaka. His performance in the league was a bit flat, but he was very eye-catching in the Champions League.

So far this season, Li Yuxin is the top scorer in the Champions League, and Kaka is the second.

As a potential opponent, Li Yuxin is very concerned about Kaka's performance, and Kaka is also concerned about Rongguang's performance.

So as long as it is about Li Yuxin's UEFA Champions League game, Kaka will watch it.Premier League games, if I have time, I will watch them occasionally.He very much hopes to fight against Li Yuxin!

It seems that the opportunity is coming!
