magic coach

On the afternoon of the 4th, the weather in London was still cloudy and hazy. The weather forecast yesterday said that the temperature would be around 1 degree, with light rain, and the breeze mixed with mist blowing on the face, and the wind felt a little wet.

The Arsenal club bus departed from the Kearney training base, carrying the team's coaching staff and first-team stars to London!

Kearney Training Base Arsenal's newest training base.Completed in 1999, it was built under Arsene Wenger's proposal. It stands in the lush Hertfordshire, only 45 minutes' drive from the Emirates Stadium.

Behind the Arsenal bus, there is a huge convoy. Arsenal fans either drive private cars, or charter cars in groups, and closely follow the club bus to form a mighty cheering army. Pull up the long queue!

Tonight, the Gunners will welcome the craziest team in Europe at their home court in Highbury: the arrival of Inter Milan. This is the first match between the two giants in history!

Although it was just a UEFA Champions League group match, according to the previous day's "Times" statistics, nearly [-] Arsenal fans from other places said they would go to London to cheer for the team!However, the Highbury Stadium has only [-] seats. If you add the die-hard fans of Inter Milan, there will be more than [-] out-of-town fans in London. This will definitely have a great impact on the law and order in London.

However, the issue of security is not something that Professor Wenger has to consider. They just lost to Deportivo in the last Champions League group match. Now Arsenal can no longer lose. The Gunners fans are waiting for the invincible Gunners to bring them a victory An exciting victory!

Victory, this is what Professor Wenger needs to consider most.

Even on the bus, Professor Wenger didn't want to waste time, and still analyzed Inter Milan's tactics and player characteristics through Inter Milan's game videos. Wenger has said these many times, but a professor is a professor. He is tireless in teaching his disciples!

Professor Wenger stood in front of the screen hung at the front of the bus with a serious face, and explained in detail with the pause of the video and digital analysis.

"Jiang Mu, the coach of Inter Milan, is the Chinese. He is the soul of Inter Milan. His tactics are flexible and he seldom sticks to formations. But judging from the last 20 games, he prefers to play in 433 and 4312. Switch between different formations. He also has a special preference for fast wingers and midfielders. The midfielder Pirlo was originally a midfielder, but under Jiang Mu, he became a midfielder. He is the organizer of Inter Milan. , we must not let him take the ball easily, forwards, forwards, and even all players who are close to Pirlo, have to take the trouble to harass him..."

Professor Wenger has a good memory. He can easily analyze the players based on the information of Inter Milan players in his mind without recalling.

"... Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Vieri, these are the most threatening players in the frontcourt of Inter Milan. In this season, they have won a stable chance to play, and their goals accounted for three points of the team's total. More than two, in this game, they are still the focus of the defense..."

In the bus, the Arsenal players listened very carefully. They respected and loved Professor Wenger very much, and they even worshiped him. Wenger let alone explaining tactics to them, even preaching the sermons, the players would listen. With relish.

"We must also pay attention to an unremarkable player. As a defensive midfielder, he is quite a leader on the field, very versatile, a real modern midfielder. He has secured Inter Milan and the Italian national team. He is the protector of Pirlo and the main defensive player of Inter Milan in the midfielder position. I believe everyone knows who I am talking about... yes... it is Di Bianho...

For half an hour, Professor Wenger was explaining seriously, and the players and coaching staff listened carefully.

Professor Wenger did not take any information, but he told the opponent's situation in such detail with his brain, which shows how much effort he has put into this game. As a Frenchman, it is by no means impossible for Wenger to succeed in the Premier League. By chance.

After analyzing Inter Milan's lineup and the technical movements of the main players based on the TV footage, Professor Wenger asked the players to rest for a while. After arriving at the Highbury Stadium, they will have a simple training.

After 50 minutes, the bus finally entered downtown London, where more Gunners fans were waiting. They and the fans who had been following from the Colney training base crowded the bus to Highbury Stadium.

Surrounded by fans, the speed of the bus was very slow, but Wenger didn't mind, it was still a long time, and communicating with the fans would be of great help to the team's morale and confidence, so Professor Wenger closed his eyes on the bus Fake sleep, continue to think about your own tactical plan, to see if there are any loopholes, playing against Jiang Mu, an extremely cunning Chinese, it is very dangerous not to be foolproof, this is a loophole that is good at catching opponents, but also good at A little fox who hides his weaknesses.

Two hours before the start of the game, the cloudy clouds over London finally turned into light rain, and it started to rain!

Light rain washes the turf at Highbury, looking down from the stands.The emerald green stadium is like a piece of emerald green.

The field became slippery, and the players Arsenal were training slipped on the field from time to time and lost their center of gravity. They had to go off the field to change into spiked sneakers in order to better control the center of gravity of their bodies.

There were already fans in the stands. The Gunners fans and Inter Milan fans sat on both sides of the stands clearly. They were the first fans to come in. Many of them did not bring rain gear. Under the light rain, many people's clothes also changed. It was getting wet and they had to go to the golf course merchandise store to buy umbrellas and raincoats.

Arsenal's team song "good old arsenal" echoes over the Highbury Stadium. This famous team song has been floating over the Highbury Stadium for decades. The fans would stand up in the stands and sing in unison.Until the game officially starts!

Soon, the Inter Milan players arrived. After they played, the Arsenal players kindly gave up the field, left the field and went to the locker room to rest, allowing the Inter Milan players to do warm-up training.

Arsenal's friendliness won the applause of the silent Inter Milan fans in the stands. Although they are opponents, Professor Wenger still follows the principle of courtesy first, unlike some coaches who do whatever it takes to win.

Inter Milan's training is just a warm-up. They do a lap game, pass the ball, sheshe the goal, move around a bit, and get used to the slippery field. The warm-up time is not long. After 20 minutes, the Inter Milan players returned to the locker room Rest and do the final preparations before the game.

Highbury Stadium is not big, it can hold more than 8000 people at most, this size is a bit shabby for a giant, but the home atmosphere created by the crazy Gunners fans is not even weaker than Liverpool's Devil's home stadium, Anfield!

An hour earlier, the stands at Highbury Stadium were already full of fans, but more fans poured into North London, big and small, drinking warm beer and waiting for the game to start!There are also some fans who are not well-off or who like excitement, holding umbrellas and waiting in front of the open-air electronic screen outside Highbury Stadium.I look forward to being able to hear the team's victory for the first time and cheer and hug with thousands of fans.

For the fans of both sides, whether it is in the stands at Highbury, or the wine in London, or the electronic screens in the open air.This is a battlefield.They will make the most direct and tit-for-tat battle with the opponent's fans here!

In the locker room of the home team at Highbury Stadium, Professor Wenger is doing the final mobilization.

"For us in this game, there is only one way to go. That is to win. We have already lost a battle in Spain. If we lose this game again, we will lose all the initiative and want to put our fate on the line. In our own hands, we must fight.

The opponent is a strong team, they are very bloodthirsty, but we don't have to fear them, this is Highbury Stadium, this is our home, you are not fighting alone here, there are countless fans here, and you together.

I have done what I should do, and now we will see your performance, I believe you, in this game, you will not let me, the club, and countless Arsenal fans down..."

Wenger seldom speaks so seriously, even in more important games than this, Wenger is not so serious, but Wenger's words still have an effect, Arsenal's players clenched their fists , decided to fight for qualifying, for honor, and for the head coach I respect and love.

In the locker room of the visiting team opposite, Jiang Mu was not as solemn as Wenger. He had been playing music for the players to rest in the music for a while before. When the game was about to start, Jiang Mu started to make the final mobilization :

This is our first game against Arsenal, this is our second game in the Champions League group stage, this game, we can lose or draw, because this is not a fight of life and death, even if you are not as desperate as your opponents I think it is normal, but you have to remember that there are only results and utilitarianism off the football field, but there is honor and dignity on the football field. We are not here to lose, nor to draw, nor to watch The opponent celebrates, the opponent's fans cheer, otherwise we wouldn't be here, we are absent from the game, it's just 0:3, we are here to win, there is a head coach in this land who said it is good, football is not Life and death, but football is higher than life and death, only if you have this awareness and determination, can we win all the honors, and we are worthy of all the honors. "

Jiang Mu's words are simple and clear, but the effect is obviously better than that of Wenger. Wenger is too elegant, and every word of Jiang Mu is directed at the players' hearts. Perhaps the Inter Milan players are really not ready to let go and fight with their opponents at first. Bo, but right now, they all feel this is a game they can't lose and they have to earn respect here.
