Chapter 972

At the beginning of the season, they won three consecutive championships. Arsenal's players were full of confidence and pride. They slaughtered Bolton 6:1 at home in the fourth round of the league. In the postponed third round of the league, they slaughtered Blackburn with a big score of 7:1 away.Two wins and two wins in the league, playing a jaw-dropping score.What's even more rare is that Arsenal's current goals are all due to their defender captain Li Huan, Arshavin, Van Persie, Walcott, Fabregas, Chamark, etc., and the midfield forwards scored together, presenting a A situation where a hundred flowers bloom.

With crazy goals, Arsenal finally stepped on Chelsea, which also won four consecutive victories, leading the No.3 Manchester United by 2 points, and proudly leading the Premier League standings.

After four rounds of the league, Arsenal finally ushered in their trip to defend the Champions League.

On September 9, Arsenal played against the Portuguese Super League runner-up Braga at home.

In the Premier League, Arsenal has shown their unparalleled dominance to fans all over the world. Due to the curse of defending the Champions League after the restructuring, fans all over the world now want to know what kind of performance Arsenal can have in the Champions League. Could be the first team to break the spell.

Although Arsenal are in the league very well, in fact, injuries are still hitting them. Diaby, who was injured in the last round of the league, still needs to miss one or two games. Vermaelen and Achilles have not yet recovered from injuries. Van Persie , Walcott, Bendtner, and Ramsey also began to enter the overhaul shop for maintenance. Injuries have become a lingering nightmare for Arsenal.

Injuries to Diaby, Van Persie, Walcott and Bendtner are not too big for Arsenal. They also have Chamark, Arshavin, Nasri, Rosicky, Vela and Fabregas. , Song and others are available, but Vermaelen's injury made Wenger scratch his head a little.

After Gallas, Campbell, Sylvester and Senderos left, there are only three authentic central defenders in Arsenal's lineup, Vermaelen, Julu and Koscielny. After Vermaelen was injured, Arsenal Nana doesn't even have a backup central defender. For a team, the central defender is the backbone. Without a good central defender, the goal will almost always be exposed to the opponent's fire. At the level of Arsenal's goalkeeper Almunia, If you are repeatedly bombarded by your opponent, you will collapse soon. Don’t look at Almunia as the best goalkeeper last season. In fact, he has the light of Arsenal’s strong attack power. The opponent has no ability to attack Arsenal. In front of the goal, Almunia's true strength will never be stronger than Van der Sar and Petr Cech, and even worse than Manchester City's Given.

Although their opponent Braga is an unknown player who appeared in the UEFA Champions League for the first time, he has the potential of a dark horse. In the qualifying round, they eliminated the powerful Celtics and Sevilla successively. They signed as many as 17 people this summer, including Hugo Viana and others who joined from Valencia. No one can tell what level of strength they have reached now. In short, this opponent is very strong. The danger must not be taken lightly.

However, Wenger quickly figured out a way to deal with it. Although this method is a bit of a waste of time, it is still reliable. In the Super Cup, in order to train Sarnia, Li Huanxin appeared as a central defender Li Huan's performance in that game was very eye-catching. He blocked positions, made up positions, competed for headers, assisted forwards, scored goals, and was almost omnipotent. He left a deep impression on the media and fans. Few reporters thought that Wenger should put Li Huan in the central defender position and use him as a free agent like Beckenbauer.But Wenger didn't want to change the style of play he had developed over the years, and he didn't make any changes to the back line, and now he has no choice but to change it. Although the full-back Sagna is far behind Li Huan, he can barely use it. , but the central defender is facing a situation where no one is available. After Diaby was injured, only Li Huan can play this position.

Braga coach Domingos.Paciancia is only 41 years old and is called "the next Mourinho" by the Portuguese media. Domingos has played for Porto for a long time as a player. He started his coaching career in the 2006-07 season and has coached Liana and the University of Coimbra. After entering Braga last season, he created a solid defense for the team.He rejected the coaching invitations of Porto and Porto this summer, and chose to stay with the team to lead Braga to the Champions League. In the end, they eliminated Celtic and Sevilla and successfully entered the Champions League.

"The next Mourinho" inherited the self-confident and arrogant character of Magic Bird. Before the game, he declared war on the European five-time champion, "We are fearless, I know the game will not be easy, but we will not let They have the ball with ease and we're going to do a miracle in our own way and I believe my players are capable of doing that."

Wenger did not respond to Dominguez's arrogant remarks. As a four-time European champion and a century-old giant, Wenger disdains to fight with a team that is not considered king in Portugal. He is confident that Arsenal Relying on the remnant team, it is completely possible to defeat the opponent at the Emirates Stadium.

The game officially started at 9:15 pm on September 7th. The Portuguese, who threatened to accomplish a miracle before the game, were not afraid of tigers. They did not use iron barrels to deal with Arsenal in the away game. The formation of 45 and Arsenal's offensive posture.

Braga dared to fight against Arsenal. It is not completely ignorant. Among their 11 starting players, 7 are Brazilian players, and there are 18 Brazilians in the 13 squads they reported. This Portuguese team is actually a Brazilian style. They eliminated the Celtics and Sevilla in an offensive way, instead of relying on defensive counterattacks and sneak attacks to win like ordinary weak teams.

“比赛开始了，让我们来看下双方的首发阵容，布拉加是433的阵型，守门员84-菲利佩/四个后卫15-米格尔-加西亚、5-莫伊塞斯、2-罗德里格斯、28-西尔维奥/，三个中场88-范迪尼奥、22-阿吉拉、45-胡戈-维亚纳/三个前锋30-阿兰、99-马特乌斯、9-保罗-塞萨尔。

阿森纳的首发阵容是（4-2-3-1）：守门员1-阿穆尼亚/3-萨尼亚、6-科斯切尔尼、13号李欢、22-克利希/双后腰19-威尔谢尔、17-亚历山大-宋/三前腰8-纳斯里、4-法布雷加斯、23-阿尔沙文，单前锋/29-查马克。

What surprised us was that Li Huan actually appeared in the central defender position. Sagna made an unprecedented start. It seemed that the professor was addicted to using Li Huan to play the central defender in the Super Bowl.

In this game, Braga added 7 Brazilian players, and Arsenal played [-] French players. This is almost like Brazil vs. France. wonderful. . . . .

. . . . . . .ah!Foul by Braga! . . . . .Fabregas was tripped at the edge of the box. . . . . . .ah!The referee didn't make a penalty. . . . . "

Just in the 3rd minute of the game, the teenager Wilshere dribbled the ball in the middle and cooperated with Fabregas. The Arsenal deputy was knocked down by the opposing defender Silvio when he crossed the penalty area, but unexpectedly Arsenal fans and players were surprised that the referee did not give any penalty, as if he hadn't seen it.

There was an uproar in the stands of the Emirates Stadium, and there were boos everywhere. Because of the existence of Li Huan, this free kick is equivalent to a goal. However, the Arsenal players did not express much. They are now more and more powerful. Temperament, I feel that facing a team like Braga, there is no need to care about these minutiae. It is impossible for them to deal with this unknown pawn at home.

Then Arsenal's midfield under the control of Cesc Fabregas, Wilshere, Nasri, and Arshavin began to show the Portuguese dark horse what is a smooth cooperation and what is a real offensive football.Fabio was the lungs of the team, fluently conducting an Arsenal orchestra like a maestro. The 18-year-old England teenager Wilshere is the most powerful first violinist of Xiaofa. This summer's new aid Chamakh is shining like gold. He is the beacon in the attack. Has been controlled by others, can't touch the ball at all, can only foul frequently.

Just in the 8th minute of the game, the excited Arsenal played through the ingenious coordination of the center and the side, pulling away Braga's defense in the center, and then Cesc Fabregas made a wonderful through pass. New aid Cha Mark went straight into the penalty area, and the Brazilian goalkeeper Felipe quickly attacked and saved the ball at the feet of Cha Mark.

Chamark's feet are very flexible, he quickly passed the ball alertly, Felipe did not catch the ball and knocked Chamark to the ground, the referee awarded a penalty without hesitation this time and gave Felipe A yellow card.

The voice of calling for Li Huan was heard again from the stands. Li Huan usually takes the penalty kick, but Li Huan came to Fabregas and said a few words to Fabregas. Fabregas shook his head first. , Later, he walked towards the penalty area, ready to take the penalty kick.

"... Li Huan did not choose to take a penalty kick. He gave the penalty to Cesc Fabregas. Arsenal have set off a scoring frenzy in the league this season, but Fabregas has not scored in the league this season. After scoring a goal, Li Huan hopes that his teammates can break the curse. A goal is the best medicine. Li Huan is becoming more and more general. In addition, because of the change of the captain's position and Arshavin's problem, Arsenal's The atmosphere in the locker room was not harmonious, and Li Huan might have taken the opportunity to coordinate with Cesc Fabregas... The goal was scored! Fabregas... The Spaniard opened the scoring for Arsenal... .1:0"

There were warm cheers from the stands, this time the names of Li Huan and Cesc Fabregas were shouted. The fans still hope that the two captains can get along in harmony.
