Strong Waist

The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:

Real Madrid (4-1-2-1-2):

Goalkeeper: Navas.

Defenders: Vazquez, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo.

Midfielder: Modric, Kovacic, Kroos.

Forwards: Benzema, Asensio, Ronaldo.

Arsenal (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Martinez.

Defenders: Monreal, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.

Midfielder: Kante, Xhaka, Lucky.

Forwards: Aubameyang, Giroud, Woby Yin.

"Real Madrid's lineup is still so flexible. Vazquez, who played as a winger in the last game, has moved to the full-back position in this game!"

Andy Gray looked at the lineup list on the screen and couldn't help but smile.

Generally speaking, players will rotate one or two positions in the lineup. For example, Lucai mainly plays as a defensive midfielder, but sometimes he also plays as a full-back.

But it's rare to see such a huge leap as Vazquez.

I have to say that Zidane's tactical style is unconstrained.

Compared with the variability of Real Madrid's lineup, Arsenal has always maintained a sense of stability.

The immovable Luckai + Kanter in the midfield form a strong protective barrier.

Although Bellerín on the back line was injured, Monreal's previous performance was considered good. Although he did not make any achievements, he also made no mistakes.

The frontcourt is still the most efficient combination of Giroud + Aubameyang.

Although some young players performed well, Mourinho still trusted the veterans more in the face of such an important game.

Young players certainly have something worth developing, but they are full of too many uncertainties.

Just like gambling, if you perform well, you will win.

On the other hand, if it performs poorly, it will collapse directly.

From one extreme to the other, Mourinho is not a risk-taking character, so he prefers this stable lineup to seek victory in the game.

"This game is a bit stressful for Real Madrid. Due to the loss in the previous round, the total score between the two teams is currently Arsenal 3:1 Real Madrid!"

"And Real Madrid must score two goals in this game, so that they can have a chance to advance to the Champions League final with the advantage of away goals!"

"Arsenal obviously understands this and will not easily give Real Madrid any chance to start."

"This game will be extremely difficult from any angle. Can Real Madrid turn things around at the Santiago Bernabeu and reach the Champions League final? Or can Arsenal reach the Champions League final again after four years? The stage! We can wait and see!”

In the commentator's explanation, the captains of both sides have completed choosing sides.

Arsenal won the ball.

"pretty!"

In the VIP room, Usmanov clapped his hands excitedly and shouted.

His voice made Real Madrid chairman Florentino roll his eyes, looking a little contemptuous.

This is also true. In European football, many people look down on Arsenal's chairman Usmanov.

I feel like this is a stupid big businessman who only knows how to throw away money, but does not understand specific football concepts.

And Usmanov has never shown himself to be a professional.

Usmanov’s most common refrain is ‘Let professionals do professional things! ’

It is Usmanov's attitude that makes it almost impossible for Arsenal to have internal conflicts. Of course, this is what he learned after a previous "board faction struggle."

For Usmanov, he likes Arsenal and he is willing to pay for it and pay for it.

The previous struggle was more about hoping that others would think more highly of him, but in the end he found that this would only get worse and worse. Since settling with the board of directors, his mind has changed.

Just be amateurs, no one can erase the fact that Arsenal has become stronger after his arrival.

"Real Madrid's lineup is still so strong, even the bench is enviable!"

Usmanov offered a slight compliment.

It must be said that this sentence touched Florentino's excitement point, and he did not hesitate to praise him for building a galactic battleship that he was proud of.

"If we could have a player like Ronaldo, I would wake up laughing even when I go to bed!"

It was originally a joke, but Florentino said suddenly.

"Are you interested in Ronaldo?"

Florentino's words made Usmanov stunned for a moment. He didn't know what he meant, but he still smiled and said: "There is no one in this world who is not interested in Ronaldo!"

Florentino smiled and said, "How about a deal? Player exchange."

Player swap?

It must be said that this proposal aroused Usmanov's interest.

No matter what, bringing Ronaldo to Arsenal will greatly increase their offensive capabilities.

"How to exchange?"

With Usmanov in high spirits, Florentino smiled and said:

"Exchange between Ronaldo and Kai!"

Hearing this, Usmanov's face froze.

If there were other candidates, or if some money was added, he would not refuse such a thing.

But not Lucky.

It's not that Ronaldo's ability is not comparable to Lucky's, but Lucky's is too important to Arsenal.

He sold Lucky on the front foot, and was about to be kicked out of Arsenal's board of directors by the angry Arsenal fans on the back foot.

"That's a good joke!"

Usmanov turned his head and looked like he didn't want to talk anymore.

Florentino also did not continue the request.

What seemed like a joke actually contained a hint of Florentino's temptation.

If Usmanov hesitates even a moment, he strikes immediately.

But Usmanov's answer was firm.

At the same time, Florentino also felt extremely sorry.

In fact, the old Buddha of Real Madrid is very fond of Lucai.

Since Lucky's performance in the Champions League in his first year, Florentino and Real Madrid have launched an offensive against Lucky, but the transfer scale at that time was not large and their attitude was not so determined.

By the time Lucky broke out, Arsenal was determined not to relax.

Florentino likes Lucky very much.

This is not just due to Lucky's tough style of play and perfect performance.

There is also the temperament of that oriental tough guy.

You know, when Florentino formed the Galacticos, he also looked at appearance.

This was the case for Beckham, Raul and others at the time, and by the time Benzema arrived, this 'French fashion blogger' was also deeply loved by Lafayette.

As for Lucky, which is full of ‘exotic style’, Lafayette also attaches great importance to it.

What's more, Lucky has a huge market behind him, making him a perfect star.

However, no matter how aggressive Real Madrid's pursuit is, Arsenal refuses to relax, and they have also contacted Lucky's agent, and the answer they received was the same as "no idea of ​​leaving".

Therefore, this matter was shelved.

Nowadays, the conflict between Ronaldo and Real Madrid is becoming increasingly acute, and he may even leave.

If Ronaldo can be exchanged for Lucky, this would be a good idea.

But Arsenal obviously has no desire in this regard.

Other players can, but Lucky cannot!

This is Arsenal's bottom line!

The two stopped chatting and looked towards the stadium.

At this time, the players from both sides were ready for the game, and Giroud was also standing in the center circle waiting for the kick-off.

The game is going to start at any moment.

At this moment, the cheers at the scene gradually became more intense.

Tens of thousands of Real Madrid fans even used motivational shouts to increase momentum for the home team.

The tension before the game gradually spread and everyone's palms began to sweat.

Even the air seemed to be filled with this suffocating sense of solemnity.

The referee pressed his earphones and after final confirmation of his preparations before the game, he slowly exited the center circle and blew the whistle.

Beep!

!

A sharp whistle sounded.

In the first half of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals of the 2017/2018 season, the second leg of Real Madrid VS Arsenal has officially begun.

At this moment, commentators all over the world shouted ‘the game begins’ in the loudest voices.

Those fans who were in front of the TV also focused on the TV without blinking.

They don't want to miss a single moment of this ultra-high-quality event in the Champions League semi-finals.
