Chapter 2004 A Difficult Week

There was a crisp sound of the beam and a melodious whistle, and the game ended at this moment.

"At the final whistle, Arsenal won 2-1 in the away game. The crossbar at the last moment left hope for the second leg for the owner of the Stadium of Light."

Zhan Jun and Liu Jianhong recovered from the excitement that Liu Feng almost scored at the buzzer just now. Looking at the two teams that stopped moving on the court, they were also quite emotional.

"The Sunderland team used their hard work and good luck to keep the suspense of the duel between the two sides alive in the next leg."

On the pitch, the Arsenal players and the Sunderland players came together, and many Black Cat players began to exchange jerseys with the Gunners' stars.

The Arsenal players who recognized the opponent very much in this game naturally did not refuse to come, and they took off their jerseys to take photos with each other.

In the end, Liu Feng, the biggest star of the Gunners, was surrounded by five or six Sunderland players. Obviously, the saying that everyone loves Super Maple is not just talking.

After the game, Liu Feng was unquestionably re-elected as the best player of the game with his performance of scoring twice. He also accepted the interview very simply.

"Feng, in this game, you quickly established a two-goal lead. Did this make you too lax and lead to being chased back by the opponent in the end?"

"Well~, I think there may be factors in this aspect, but I think it is more about the persistence and performance of the opponents. They put a lot of pressure on us in the last 10 minutes of the second half."

Liu Feng was very honest in front of the camera, and he did not hesitate to praise Sunderland: "They played very well, and the joy of winning this game is much more than some other games."

After all the interviews were over, the Arsenal team set out on their way home. This week's schedule was finally over again. All the team members were quite exhausted, and everyone fell asleep in the bus with their backs leaning on their chairs.

After the game, the reports of the major media did not stop. Compared with the game against Crystal Palace, this game was obviously more eye-catching. Everyone was discussing the demeanor of the two sides in this game to spend the rest of the weekend.

As for the players of the Arsenal team, they enjoyed the new day of vacation again. Everyone spent the day happily in their own ways. Liu Feng even took time to shoot a new advertisement for his FENG brand.

When the players returned to the court again, the team began to prepare for the latest week of schedule.

In the new week, Arsenal will go away to challenge the Red Army Liverpool in the No.20 fifth round of the league. For the Liverpool team that lost in the first half of the game, this game is undoubtedly a good opportunity for them to take revenge.

However, the first game of the Gunners' new week's schedule is not to play against them, but to go to distant Germany to challenge the Schalke 04 team.

Yes, the quarter-finals of the Champions League are finally here, and the return of the highest quality competition that fans have been waiting for for a long time.

In this case, both Wenger and the Gunners know that next week will be very difficult, and they must be fully prepared to fight two tough battles in a row.

Therefore, on the first day of resuming training, the professor began to pay close attention to training, and the whole team was running like a train bearing, from the main players to the substitutes.

Every afternoon, the professor would conduct a simulated battle based on the intelligence of Schalke 04, the opponent they will face first.

In fact, Schalke 04's overall tactics are very similar to the 451 that Mourinho used to use. The Dutch forward Huntelaar played steadily as the team's starting forward, and behind him is the assist line of the five midfielders.

Among these midfielders, although there are no particularly famous world-class midfielders, their composition and characteristics are very tough and balanced.

K. Boateng, who used to play for Milan, and Gretzka, who was only 18 years old when he was a fledgling, has already played as the main player and has attracted the attention of major German giants. These are the signature players of Schalke 04 this season.

But whoever it belongs to, compared to the Barcelona, ​​Bayern, Real Madrid and other giants that the Gunners encountered in the Champions League before, Schalke 04's lineup is indeed not a star-studded lineup.

This is why many media have reported that Arsenal have drawn a good draw this season. At least in terms of overall strength, they are superior no matter how you look at it.

Of course, this is not a reason for the Arsenal team to slack off in training. Everyone is still working hard in daily training.

The professor is very satisfied with seeing the players getting more and more hot every day, and the team doctor's office also sent a report on the overall physical condition of the players, which is even more gratifying.

When the time came to the day before the battle against Schalke 04, the entire Arsenal team could be said to be combatable soldiers, and everyone was in surprisingly good condition. Even the usual training match had a 3-3 draw.

In this case, the professor and the assistant coaching staff discussed for a long time before finalizing the starting lineup for the next day. Even so, he still ticked off the lineup and wanted to wait until the final training tomorrow morning before finalizing it.

In the afternoon, all the team members gathered in the conference room. The professor stood in front of everyone and clicked on the electronic screen behind him. A 433 formation appeared in front of everyone.

"Tomorrow's game, we will play 433."

"!"

The players raised their heads in surprise. After all, this is one of the few teams that teach a 433 formation in an away game in the Champions League.

"Neymar, Feng, Walcott three strikers."

I directly pointed out the three most popular strikers in the training these days. Needless to say, Liu Feng and Neymar, Walcott has really excelled in the training games of the past few days. He can play close to the wing in almost every game.

Apparently, the professor is also interested in the little tiger. Taking advantage of his threat on the side, the little tiger can definitely attract a large part of the defense's attention.

"Three midfielders, Wilshere, Ganso, Cazorla."

The classic Wiganla did not appear. Cazorla defeated Ramsey in the competition with his outstanding performance and succeeded in taking the position. He has a lot of chemical reactions with Ganso and Wilshere, and the professor also trusts him a lot.

"Four backs, Gibbs, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Alves."

Alba was squeezed out of the starting position by Gibbs. Both of them worked hard in training, but in the training game, Gibbs' performance in the blue team against the impact of a group of main forwards impressed the professor even more.

"Goalkeeper, Szczesny."

Perhaps only the goalkeeper position is the most stable. Szczesny once again served as the starter with his stable performance, and Fabianski on the side could only sit silently.

Afterwards, the professor quickly announced the other members of the team's roster.
