Chapter 1440 Half Worry, Half Joy
In the few days after Arsenal won the championship, the eyes of the entire European football world and even the world football world have not left them.

It wasn't until the UEFA Champions League semi-final draw that everyone shifted their attention again.

Compared with the grand draw of the top [-] and even the top eight, this time the lottery ceremony seemed much deserted.

The four teams that have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League this season, one in La Liga, one in Real Madrid, one in Bundesliga, one in Bayern, two in the Premier League, Chelsea and Arsenal, and no one in Ligue [-], which is recognized as the bottom of the five major leagues.

And as a small World Cup in the past, no team in Serie A, which is now falling rapidly, has reached the semi-finals.

The season in which Inter Milan created the Treble Crown Albert seems to be the last swan song of the Serie A team. Whether they can rise again in the context of the rapid decline in the domestic economy is a big question mark.

At the lottery ceremony, the coaches of the four teams and several core players under them all attended the scene, drawing out the latest matchup situation under the watchful eyes of countless media.

The first team to be drawn was Real Madrid. After Kaka announced that he would suspend the game for a year and go to China for medical treatment, the Galaxy Battleship did not suffer much loss of strength.

Obviously, Kaka's rapid decline is an indisputable fact.

A group of Real Madrid players such as Ronaldo and Benzema followed Mourinho. As a coach who retired from Inter Milan, Mu Bird's coaching performance after coming to Real Madrid is also remarkable.

When he coached Real Madrid last season, he led the team to win the Copa del Rey after an absence of 18 years. This season, he and his team are biting Barcelona in La Liga.

After being eliminated by Arsenal in the Champions League, Guardiola and his team are also getting closer and closer to being won by their arch-rivals in the league.

Distressed melon bald This popular label has become more and more popular on many meme websites and platforms.

This is already the second time Mourinho has led Real Madrid to the semi-finals of the Champions League after accepting the team. Their goals for the season are very clear, and they have great ambitions for the Champions League while securing the league title.

Therefore, in the interview before the game, Mourinho and Ronaldo expressed this directly and confidently. The characters of these two generals are notoriously unwilling to admit defeat, which was very clear in the interview.

Subsequently, Real Madrid's opponents were drawn out, and Bayern Munich, the dominant team in the distant Bundesliga and the chasing target of all other league teams, was drawn out.

Needless to say the strength of the Bundesliga giants led by Heynckes, it can be said that this club has the best players in the whole of Germany, which can be regarded as half of the German national team.

Every year, they can play their own things in the European war, let everyone realize that they are not easy to mess with.

But it is a pity that they failed to win the championship trophy representing the highest honor of European clubs every time. Luck, status and various factors always made them fall into the sand.

When it was confirmed that they would start the semi-final match against Real Madrid, Heynckes and Mourinho looked at each other in the air. Although the two coaches were smiling, their fighting spirit was visible to the naked eye.

The other two dueling teams are also directly reflected after the end of the draw. Both Arsenal and Chelsea will avoid the fatigue of travel and travel, and start their Champions League semi-final duel in London.

The red and blue London derby is about to be staged again.

Arsene Wenger's Arsenal will take on Chelsea, who have been under coach Di Matteo for less than a month.

After the result of the draw came out, some of the Premier League media were happy and some were worried.

The joy is that no matter what, a Premier League team will reach the final of this season's Champions League. The worry is that this season will not be able to see two Premier League teams meet again in the final.

In the venue, compared to Heynckes and Mourinho's polite but distant handshake conversation, Wenger and Di Matteo and the players behind them communicated more obviously.

As a new coach who replaced Boas, Di Matteo played well in the four league games and the Champions League under his leadership, which also allowed people to see the strength of this new coach.

However, it is still unclear whether he can lead the team to gnaw a hard bone.

And now, he is about to lead his team to a deadly clash with Arsenal, which is now recognized as the strongest team.

Perhaps, the only thing that can comfort the Chelsea people is that Di Matteo has very little information about his employment habits, skills and tactics due to his relatively short time in taking over the team.

Compared with the situation where Arsenal can collect data for a whole season, it is difficult for the Gunners assistant coaches to have enough information to assist Wenger.

Don't underestimate the gap in this aspect. In a game like the semi-finals of the Champions League, sometimes a slight gap in a position may determine the outcome of a team.

"See you in London."

"See you in London."

The dialogue between the coaches of the two teams came to an end, and the lottery was officially concluded. The generals of the four teams left the scene of the lottery, and the results of the lottery were spread around the world as quickly as possible.

Real Madrid played against Bayern Munich, and Arsenal played against Chelsea. The two matchups have their own characteristics and highlights. The expectations of the fans also reached the top after the results were announced.

Before that, several teams still have a league game to play.

On the second day after returning to London, Arsenal's training continued as usual. In the No.30 round of the league, they will play against the relegation team Wigan Athletic at home.

Five days after this league match, they will go to Stamford Bridge for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.

The time is not tight, and it is also a question worth considering for Wenger what lineup and players to use to deal with Wigan Athletic, who has long been red-eyed in order to avoid relegation.

Two days of training passed very quickly, and when the players finally assembled again in the conference room, Wenger came up with a plan.

"Giroud and Maple are paired up front, and Oxlade-Chamberlain, Alexander Song, Rosicky and Theo Walcott are four midfielders."

Quickly reported the formation he had lined up, and once again came up with a 442 lineup that is more inclined to control and rely on the wing.

"Four defenders, Gibbs, Squillac, Koscielny, Sagna, goalkeeper Fabianski."

The combination of the substitute and the main force, the core players remain the same, and the defenders undergo a big rotation. In order to prepare for the match against the highly impactful Chelsea, Wenger finally set the lineup for this match.

"Tomorrow's game is at home, kill the game as quickly as possible, and then you can rest!"

"understand!"
