After the game, the two sides had a good time.

We said goodbye to the enthusiastic fans and took the bus to the north.

La Coruna booked a star-rated hotel only five minutes' drive from the Emirates Stadium.

It was already late when we arrived.

There was no time to adapt to the venue today, so everyone went to bed early.

No words were spoken that night.

After breakfast the next morning, Su Wei went to the hotel conference room to prepare for the game.

As soon as he and Salman sat down in the back row, the projection screen hanging on the wall lit up.

The figures of Arsenal players appeared on the big screen one by one.

Jimenez stood on the stage and introduced tomorrow's opponents.

Although he had never played against Arsenal, Su Wei was not unfamiliar with them at all.

In the 2015-2016 season, Arsenal's head coach was still Wenger, and this was the 20th year that the professor coached Arsenal!

It is definitely a great feat for a coach to coach a team for 20 years!

Arsenal's player configuration has changed several times in the past 20 years, and only Wenger's position as coach remains unchanged.

Looking at the entire Premier League, the only one who can compete with Wenger is Manchester United's godfather Ferguson.

Unfortunately, Sir Alex Ferguson retired from the position of Manchester United coach three years ago. Now the only legend of the Premier League is Wenger!

Under Wenger's leadership this season, Arsenal has a very good record.

The Premier League is halfway through, and Arsenal has surpassed Leicester City, Manchester City, Tottenham, Manchester United and other teams in the standings. It is currently ranked first in the Premier League and has successfully reached the top 16 in the FA Cup!

And the opponent in the top 16 is the Premier League promoted Hull City.

It seems that reaching the quarterfinals of the FA Cup is just a matter of time.

Arsenal played smoothly in the first half of the season. In addition to the credit of the old coach Wenger, their lineup this season is also quite good.

German midfielder Ozil, who transferred to the team for 50 million euros in 2013, is in a very hot state this season.

Currently, he ranks first in the assists list in the Premier League with 12 assists!

You should know that Tottenham midfielder Eriksson, who is currently ranked second in the assists list, has only 7 assists.

And De Bruyne has only 5 assists.

The two together are on par with Ozil.

A reporter said that Ozil won the Premier League assist king this year, which is more stable than Kane winning the Premier League Golden Boot!

Ozil can get so many assists, of course, it is closely related to the performance of several strikers.

This year, Arsenal has two major scoring points. One is the French international Giroud, who is still full of energy at the age of 30!

The other is the Chilean international Sanchez who transferred from Barcelona to Arsenal for 42 million euros the year before last!

In the scorer list, these two have scored 20 goals together, and their firepower is even stronger than Kane, who is the top scorer!

After talking about the midfield and frontcourt, Arsenal has another important signing in the backcourt this season, that is Czech goalkeeper Cech.

When Cech first came to Arsenal last summer, it also aroused doubts from Arsenal fans.

After all, the 34-year-old Cech has been squeezed out of the starting position at Chelsea by the younger Courtois.

Lian Po is old, can he still make a living?

However, with the start of the new season, those doubts have disappeared.

Facts have proved that Cech is still a first-class goalkeeper in European football!

In the 20 games he played for Arsenal this season, he kept opponents scoreless in 10 games!

Cech's state is almost the same as when he was young at Chelsea.

...

Except Ozil, Giroud, Sanchez, and Cech.

Central defender Laurent Koscielny, defensive midfielder Aaron Ramsey, forward Alex Chamberlain, familiar names rang out in the conference room.

Su Wei looked at the familiar faces on the screen and could already sense that tomorrow night's game would definitely not be easy.

Jimenez spent a full hour carefully analyzing Arsenal's players and playing style.

The preparations for the first half were over.

At this moment, Salman, who was sitting next to Su Wei, straightened his back and looked forward with anticipation.

"God bless, I hope I can start tomorrow's game!"

He said it softly, but Su Wei still heard it.

"Don't worry, I have a hunch that you can start tomorrow!"

As soon as the voice fell, Jimenez began to announce tomorrow's starting lineup.

In the weekend league, Laco had already made rotations, and Jimenez sent all the main players in this Champions League knockout match.

The goalkeeper position is Argentine Roux.

The defenders from right to left are Rowley, Van Dijk, Lobo and Ka

Rane.

The double defensive midfielders are Su Wei and Brozovic!

Right midfielder Salmon, attacking midfielder Farina, left midfielder Carrasco.

Salman's heartbeat quickened when he heard this.

Jimenez was going to play 4231 again, which meant that only one striker could be on the front line.

Just when Salman was nervous, he heard Jimenez said in a deep voice: "Forward, Salman!"

Salman breathed a sigh of relief, then he turned his head and secretly gave Su Wei a thumbs up.

And Su Wei smiled, this was within his expectations.

In recent games, Salman has scored goals one after another, and it is reasonable for Jimenez to use him in the starting lineup.

After announcing the starting lineup, Jimenez encouraged the players a few more words, and the pre-match preparation meeting ended.

After lunch and a short rest, the entire La Coruna team set out from the hotel and went to the Emirates Stadium to adapt to the venue.

After more than two hours of training, Jimenez brought Su Wei to the press hall of the Emirates Stadium.

Nearly a hundred reporters were eagerly waiting for the interview. As soon as the two sat down, the reporters immediately asked questions.

"Su, tomorrow is your first Champions League knockout match. Do you have anything to say?"

Su Wei said: "I hope we can win here tomorrow night."

"Su, what do you think of Arsenal?"

Su Wei continued: "Arsenal is a strong team. They played very well this year. We can learn a lot from playing against them. And I personally like playing against Premier League teams!"

When everyone heard his words, they couldn't help but think of Manchester City, which Su Wei had just sent home to fish.

At this time, a reporter from Longguo asked: "Su Wei, today is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Do you want to say a few words to the fans of Longguo?"

Su Wei smiled and said: "Happy New Year to everyone. Remember to watch our game on time tomorrow, and don't forget to cheer for Laco!"

...

Laco vs. Arsenal in the Champions League 1/8 knockout match, such a major game, how could domestic fans miss it.

This Spring Festival, Longguo fans are happy, three games in a row, each one more exciting than the other.

In the early morning of the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, tens of millions of fans stayed up late waiting for the broadcast.

...

At 8 o'clock in the evening local time in London, Laco and Arsenal players were already standing on the green field.

The result of guessing first, Arsenal attacked first in the first half.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially started!
