Chapter 1583 Not ugly entanglement

Bundesliga Veltins Stadium, home of Schalke 04, a top-level stadium that can accommodate more than 6 fans.

At this moment, the stadium is full except for the seats that must be left empty to facilitate evacuation. The blue ocean is constantly rising and falling, and the name of Schalke 04 is constantly ringing.

In this sea, the Arsenal Expeditionary Force with thousands of people in the phalanx showed their existence tenaciously with a piece of red and white.

This is one of the few horrible home games in the Bundesliga. At this moment, after the team lost to Arsenal at home and finally ushered in the chance of revenge away, the home fans created the momentum not to lose to the Ruhr Derby.

It was in this atmosphere that the Arsenal players who arrived at the Veltins Stadium from the hotel they stayed in stepped into the stadium and began to warm up.

"Move, move, don't be distracted by distractions."

Although I have great confidence in the team's anti-interference ability, the noisy atmosphere of the opponent's home court still makes the professor feel a little annoyed, let alone the players.

He can only keep shouting to remind everyone to focus on the court rather than the provocation of the opponent fans.

Fortunately, soon, Schalke 04, the owner of the stadium, also appeared in the stadium. The boos all over the sky turned into cheers in an instant, and Arsenal no longer had to bite the bullet and stare at the loud noise to warm up.

Since they are teams separated by two leagues, there was no grievance between the two sides before. Therefore, in the press conference before the game, the coaches and players of both sides were quite restrained.

Neither Keller nor the professor said anything to provoke their opponents, but because they are at home, Keller still pointed this out.

"Arsenal are a great team, more than [-] titles in two seasons proves everything, but they are going through a difficult period and my players are in fantastic form."

This is a comparison of simple movement, and it is not difficult for everyone to understand.

In this regard, the professor just smiled mysteriously: "I don't think we are in a difficult period, and my players and I are ready to prove it in the game."

Soon, after the warm-ups of both sides were over, the time for the players and the coach to prove their own words entered the countdown.

Liu Jianhong, who arrived at the scene, has also made preparations in the commentary room of Veltins Stadium.

"Okay, the two teams have re-entered the stadium. Audience friends, welcome to watch the match between Schalke 2012 and Arsenal at home in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2013-04 season. I am the commentator Liu Jianhong."

The impassioned Champions League theme song sounded throughout the stadium, and the solemn Champions League logo swaying in the wind slowly dissipated, and the entire green stadium was displayed in front of everyone.

"The two sides took a group photo on both sides of the referee group. The captain of the Gunners in this game was Rosicky. This veteran has enough momentum and courage to command his teammates."

The fact that Liu Feng did not enter the starting list was announced two hours before the start of the game, so Liu Jianhong and the Chinese fans in front of the TV did not feel surprised or upset.

Of course, this has something to do with their belief that as long as Liu Feng appears on the roster, there will be a great chance of playing.

The captains of the two sides have already completed the captain's guessing game. Rosicky is holding the ball and walking towards the kick-off point. It seems that Arsenal will kick-off in the first half.

The ball was placed in front of Giroud and Aguero, and all the players moved quickly to stand in their respective positions.

"Shhhhhh!!!"

The opening whistle is still so sharp. When the referee adjusted the time for the last time, Giroud's action of pushing the ball announced the start of the game.

"Okay, the game has officially started. After receiving the ball, Aguero passed it to Rosicky in the middle. Arsenal still played 442 in this game."

After the opening time, Arsenal continued to control the ball. Under Rosicky's command and scheduling, they controlled the ball very easily through their own midfield and the center circle.

For a while, although the Schalke 433 team in the 04 formation was very active in pressing, they did not win the ball quickly.

This gave Liu Jianhong enough time to introduce the starting lineups of the two sides. He quickly finished introducing the formation of the Gunners who are most relevant to everyone, and then began to introduce the home team of this game.

"Schalke 04's striker combination is still Farfan, Huntelaar and Holtby. Judging from their active running in this game, they should be in good condition."

The three strikers have not changed, but the three midfielders have been mobilized. Draxler, who played well as a substitute in the matchup with the Gunners, got the chance to start. He has Jones and Affleck on the left and right.

As for the four defenders, Hewedes and Atsuto Uchida are on the left and right, and Matip and Fuchs form the team's central defender combination. This is the combination that Keller finally determined based on the status of his team's defenders.

In the goalkeeper position, Leonardo is still the starting goalkeeper.

It took about 10 minutes to complete the task of introducing all the starting players through the transfer of different players through the ball. Liu Jianhong then began to concentrate on watching the game.

In this game, as the Gunners' ball possession rate became higher and higher, Miners coach Keller began to call on the players on the sidelines to start a fierce fight.

From the first interception, Schalke 04's playing style at their home court was obviously tougher. They found the critical point of physical confrontation as soon as they came up, and always controlled the interference of the Gunners' ball handlers to the point where the referee wanted to blow it but didn't.

It has to be said that this is a technical job, at least the young Draxler did not reach this point. He succeeded in the No. 15 minute of the game and received his first yellow card due to frequent violations of Rosicky.

In contrast, Affleck, who was bigger and more vicious than him, was still innocent.

As a result, Affleck later became the leader of the Schalke 04 midfielder. He led the players to block the Arsenal team, which was trying to attack their own defense line through possession and penetration.

The confrontation between the two sides covered between the two midfielders. Whenever the Miners steal the ball from the midfielder, their counterattack will start quickly, while Arsenal's midfielder will quickly send the ball to the opponent's hinterland again whenever they kill the opponent's attack.

This kind of contest where you come and go but miss the chance to create a goal is definitely not ugly. In the stands of the Veltins Stadium, the cheers of the fans of the two teams came one after another, and countless fans who were watching the game in front of the TV also couldn't take their eyes off it.

At such a moment, the first golden opportunity of the game also arrived.
