Chapter 1732
The first game before the Gunners is the Champions League knockout round. For the Arsenal team who want to continue to show their terror dominance in this event, it is a game that must be certified.

Because the team will be fighting at home this time, without the fatigue of away games, the professor still chose the regular main force for most of the players in the formation.

The top three strikers of Neymar, Liu Feng and Aguero, and the classic three midfielders of Wilshere, Ganso and Ramsey, are all the top starters in the midfield.

On the back line, Gibbs replaced Alba and Mertesacker, who started the game, and Phil Jones, who returned to the starting position of central defender after many days, partnered with Alves at the right back.

In the goalkeeper position, Szczesny still sits firmly as the main player.

This is a very strong lineup, and the offensive line alone is not enough for Galata's team.

At the press conference before the game, the professor also expressed very positively that he would play the game with the team's current strongest lineup, and he must bring a big victory to the fans at his home court.

This disappointed Galatasaray, who still held that the Gunners had already won the first round, and now they might relax their minds and deploy a half-main lineup, which happens to be their own opportunity.

However, no matter what lineup the Gunners line up, it is actually the same for Galatasaray. They are 1-3 at home and they are out of breath just because of the disadvantage of away goals.

Now come to the Emirates Stadium, the opponent's home, and the enormous pressure in it is almost predictable without thinking.

When the Galata coach led a group of players to leave Istanbul for London by plane, each of them was disturbed in their hearts.

Except, of course, Ned.

As a witness of Inter Milan's legendary season, he is too aware of the meaning of the phrase that everything is possible. Although there is no way to make his teammates unite like the abandonment of Inter Milan back then, he must at least stabilize his mentality.

As the core of a team, as long as the core does not fail, there is still a chance.

The fact is exactly the same. When the second round of the quarter-finals, which was thought to have no suspense, officially kicked off, the Galata team broke out a very tenacious style under the command of Sneijder.

Facing the Arsenal team who chose the right to kick off and rushed out as soon as the kick off, they kept moving to help defend against the Gunners' onslaught in the opening 10 minutes.

Then in the following time, once the ball came to the feet of Galatasaray, Sneijder would choose to slow down the rhythm and lure the enemy to go deep.

The Arsenal team, which has already arranged an offensive formation and arranged offensive tactics, will naturally not choose to shrink back. In the next 20 minutes or so, they chased and froze, and they crushed Galata and hammered a big bag.

Unfortunately, the goal was delayed.

The Galata team members who were driven by Sneijder to awaken a certain spirit seemed to be determined to prove themselves, and they withstood the pressure under the boos of nearly [-] gun fans.

Thus, there was the No. 40-minute scene of the game.

"The Galata team stole the ball again. Their tenacity prevented the Gunners' offense again and again. The ball was quickly passed to Sneijder's feet. The Dutch midfielder quickly advanced forward with the ball."

This is an undoubted counterattack. The game ranked 442, and the Galata team, which put Drogba and Yilmaz wandering in front, finally waited for their chance.

"Split the ball to Yilmaz, cooperate with two passes and one pass. It is impossible for Phil Jones to defend against two people. Sneijder takes the ball again. Now the Gunners have only three defenders left in the half. Go straight!"

"Shu~"

The ball was kicked out at the next moment, leaving Sneijder's feet and rolling past Mertesacker. When the Gunners defender turned around, a heavy figure was already leaning on his left side.

"Drogba! The sword of Warcraft is not old, he firmly stuck Mertesacker's position, continued to explode, crossed half of the body, entered the penalty area, and hit the goal!!!"

"Oh!"

I thought that Drogba, who left the mainstream league, would enter retirement mode, but at this moment, his running and shooting skills obviously have not diminished in the slightest. When the ball flew into the goal, African Dehua rushed to the sidelines and began to slide and kneel.

After his classic three stripes appeared on the lawn, Sneijder, who sent the assist, ran all the way to hug him.

The two veterans who also played for the giants and finally went away to Turkey embraced tightly. At this moment, their connection undoubtedly proved the ability of the two.

"Leading 1-0, Galata caught the Gunners' careless moment with four 10 minutes of consumption."

"This is Galata's first shot. Compared with the Gunners' seven shots, it is actually quite a few. However, they only scored once. Arsenal must think about it..."

Both commentators sincerely praised Galatasaray. During the game, you can clearly see that Arsenal's overall strength crushed the visiting team, but they were able to withstand it.

Now, with very little time left in the first half, getting a one-goal lead is definitely a very morale-boosting thing.

The Arsenal team, which has been unable to attack for a long time, is bound to be affected.

When the game restarted, Arsenal did not choose to attack at the first kick-off. After being a little confused by the opponent's counterattack this time, they chose to take control of the ball first.

However, with little time left, their possession of the ball did not last long. In the 404th minute of the game, Gan Suo held the ball and passed it directly to Liu Feng in the middle after halftime.

Liu Feng, who was holding the ball with his back, still completed his turn under the interference of Yinan behind him. He moved quickly and passed the opponent with a touch, and then directly faced the ball and took a long shot before the opponent's defender jumped out.

At this moment, the time came to exactly 45 minutes.

Liu Feng's long-range shot was heavy, but the distance became the best speed bump. When the ball came to the goal, Galata goalkeeper Muslera, whose mentality was almost collapsed by Arsenal in the last game, stood up.

"He swooped down and took the ball with his left hand from the upper right corner of the goal. Muslera made a wonderful save!"

"Shh!"

When all the commentators were amazed by Muslera's save, the whistle at the end of the first half also sounded. After all, Arsenal failed to equalize the score before halftime.

In this way, the last game ended at 0-1, which no one expected. The Arsenal players returned to the locker room with their heads down behind the cold-faced professor.

After a long period of attacking, the kick became more and more casual, and then the opponent counterattacked into one. All kinds of mistakes were enough for Wenger to scold them.
