"Here! Here! Hurry!"

Little Fernandez was wearing the Arsenal jersey he just bought, holding his parents' hands with a look of anxiety on his face.

With a child's mind, facing such an exciting Champions League game, he must be extremely looking forward to it.

And for Fernandez Jr., who is determined to become a professional player, he is even more looking forward to this kind of top-level competition.

For any teenager who dreams of becoming a professional player, no one can resist the charm of the Champions League.

Not to mention watching the game live.

A few days ago, Fernandez Jr. signed a semi-professional contract with Arsenal under the care of his parents.

Why is it said to be semi-professional? Because he is still a youth training player, but he just signed an intention contract.

In other words, after graduating from the youth training, Fernandez must be the first to undergo the assessment of Arsenal's first team. Only if Arsenal no longer wants him can he go to other clubs.

For many players, they are resistant to this kind of intention contract, but again, this is Arsenal!

Who can resist this temptation!

The two parties reached an agreement quickly, and little Fernandez even spent his weekly salary in advance and treated his parents to a French meal for the first time.

Today, Fernandez Jr. is also considered a player of Arsenal U18, which is the reserve team of Arsenal's first team.

Of course, there is still some gap between being promoted to the first team.

At the very least, we have to wait for little Fernandez to open up a little. After all, at less than 1.65 meters tall, he is really too short and thin.

The Fernandez family entered the court and followed instructions to find their seats.

Since it is arranged by the club, it is very forward and close to the player tunnel. According to the classification of position, it is very good.

As soon as they sat down, the Fernandez family was infected by the atmosphere.

The high-pitched singing echoed throughout the arena.

The ardent Arsenal fans were shouting and cheering hysterically.

Even sitting on the chair, they could feel the ground shaking.

“So lively!”

Little Fernandez looked around, his eyes full of curiosity.

Of course, he looked more towards the court, looking at the dark green and light green green field, his eyes full of yearning.

This is the Emirates Stadium!

This is the home ground of the Premier League giants Arsenal!

Just when he imagined that he would be cheered by everyone in this stadium, violent roars suddenly erupted in the stadium.

Little Fernandez subconsciously shrank his neck and covered his ears.

But those roars were still impacting his eardrums.

Beside him, in the player tunnel, players from both sides had begun to walk out of the field.

"coming!

——”

Little Fernandez stretched his neck and looked forward, but due to his short stature, he couldn't see ahead at all.

For this reason, he stood up and walked through the crowd, directly coming to the railing, and his eyes suddenly became clear.

Arsenal in red and white jerseys and Barcelona in green jerseys.

They walked onto the court led by the captains of both teams.

Here, Fernandez Jr. saw Wilshere, Giroud, Kante, Hummels, Pique, Busquets, Suarez and other stars.

There are also two superstars, Lucky and Messi.

This visual impact made his little face flush with excitement.

Even though he is shy, with the support of this atmosphere, he and the surrounding Arsenal fans cheered loudly.

At the same time, players from both sides have lined up neatly on the court, preparing for the game.

"This is the fourth round of the second leg of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2018/2019 season, Arsenal's home game against Barcelona!"

"In the last round of games, Barcelona tied with Arsenal 3:3 at home, and this game will determine which of the two teams will become the leader of the group standings!"

After Paul Merson finished speaking, Dixon said: "This game is also very difficult for Messi. In the last round of the game, it was because of the outstanding performance of Messi and Suarez that Barcelona was able to recover at home. Save some face and make it a draw!”

"But in this game, Arsenal are back at home, and what kind of tactics they will use will put Barcelona under great pressure."

"That's right!" Paul Merson nodded; "Arsenal has a lot of tactical flexibility and options, which also makes it difficult for many teams to make targeted arrangements when facing Arsenal. The most important thing is The suppressive power of the midfield allows them to execute all kinds of tactics absolutely!”

Arsenal's midfielder is naturally better than the opponent. This is a reality that many teams have to face.

Even some tough-talking teams don't dare to go head-to-head with Arsenal's midfielder during the game.

The final result is likely to be that you are dried to pieces.

Even Barcelona, ​​once known as the Cosmos team, did not dare to go head-to-head with Arsenal with their aging midfielder.

And this is also the most difficult point of the game.

In the camera, Messi frowned deeply. It was obvious that he was already under great pressure before the game even started.

Just like the previous game, in this game, Barcelona still has to rely on Messi's ability to compete.

But to be honest, it is difficult for a 32-year-old veteran to carry the team forward.

As for Arsenal, both their age structure and their abilities are in an extremely stable category.

As the core, Lucky is in the prime of his career and one of the strongest.

This increased the pressure on Barcelona.

During the commentator's introduction, the captains of both teams had finished choosing sides.

Barcelona took the lead in winning the kick-off.

The starting lineup also appeared on the big screen.

Arsenal (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Martinez.

Defenders: Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.

Midfielder: Aubameyang, Kante, Wilshere, Lucky, Mane.

Forward: Giroud.

Barcelona (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Alba, Langley, Pique, Roberto.

Midfielder: Arthur, Busquets, Rakitic.

Forwards: Coutinho, Suarez, Messi.

After the starting lineups of both sides were arranged, Arsenal's lineup gave people a strange feeling.

It's not that the lineup itself is very good, but the overall feeling gives people a wolf-like aggressiveness.

On the other hand, Barcelona's lineup is dominated by veterans.

The cheers at the scene began to grow louder.

The Arsenal fans cheered hard, making the atmosphere of the game even more exciting.

The cheers invaded the stadium from the stands, making every player in the stadium feel the enthusiasm from the fans.

At the same time, Suarez also stood in the center circle waiting for the kick-off.

Dazzling lights shine from the dome, making the entire Emirates Stadium extremely bright.

And in this brightness, the game is getting closer and closer.

The moment the piercing whistle sounded.

The cheers at the scene increased exponentially.

"The game begins! The game begins!"

The on-site commentator George Adams was also cheering hard, paving the way for the game.

In this atmosphere, Suarez decisively kicked the ball, and Barcelona immediately entered the offensive pace.

As soon as the game started, Barcelona took the lead.

They know very well that competing with young people like Arsenal in terms of endurance and physical fitness is pure courting death.

For this reason, they were prepared to kill Arsenal directly after the opening game.

In other words, at the beginning of the game, they were ready to pick up the pace.

Barcelona's offense is still very sharp.

Consistent passing rhythm, Messi's ability to distribute the ball after holding the ball, and excellent running.

However, when the ball advanced into Arsenal's half area, especially the defensive line near the midfield, they encountered problems.

Lucky and Kanter, one on the left and one on the right, stood there like two goalkeepers, restricting their offensive rhythm, especially on Messi's side. Mourinho directly asked Lucky to face Messi.

This made Messi's pressure increase instantly.

Messi remembers how much pressure Lucky's defense put on him in several previous confrontations.

However, Messi is also trying his best to pass people. After all, if he can't pass, Barcelona will really not find many offensive opportunities.
