Chapter 348
Entering September, with the start of the UEFA Champions League, the schedules of major European leagues are becoming increasingly tense.

Since UEFA in 98, in order to prevent major clubs from abandoning their high "European Super League", the Champions League has undergone a large-scale restructuring. For big clubs, such a group stage will only make their schedule more intensive, and the money gained from participating in the group stage is a lot of income for small clubs or clubs outside the five major leagues, but this little money is for the bigger clubs. It is only a fraction for the five major league clubs in China.

There are three Premier League teams participating in the UEFA Champions League this year, namely Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea. Manchester United was tied at home by the Zagreb Libertadores, and Chelsea also held a home draw with visiting AC Milan. Arsenal in Florence made the Premier League popular in Europe. The score of [-]-[-] has appeared many times in the history of the Champions League, but it was basically a strong team that abused a weak team. Opponents who are one level higher are sieved, which shows how powerful Arsenal's firepower is.Fiorentina are divided into the second tier of Group E in the Champions League this season, while Arsenal are the third tier.

The Arsenal team, which is the crazy opponent in Florence, has no time to visit the literary capital of "Jiang Leng Cui" and hurried back. They have to participate in the eighth round of the Premier League in three days and challenge Southampton away.

The Arsenal team led by Wenger only participated in the restructured UEFA Champions League for the first time last season. However, last season, the Arsenal team, which had a good situation in the group, was too dense due to inexperience, so the physical strength of the players No, in the last three games of the first round of the Champions League group stage, the Arsenal team, who challenged their opponents away, collapsed. In the end, the Arsenal team came with great ambitions, but in the end they failed to even reach the first round of the group stage. Break through and watch your opponent Manchester United finally reach the top of Europe.

Wenger, who has learned experience this season, began to consciously rotate the team, so although the schedule is very intensive, Arsenal has always maintained a good state.

In August, the Arsenal team has achieved unbeaten results. Except for the draw with Liverpool in the seven rounds of the Premier League, they won all the other six games. In September, the Arsenal team made a good start, but Wenger But it doesn't stop there. He hopes that the team can maintain the momentum in August. The most critical game now is the away game against Barcelona on September [-]. If this game can be won, then even in October Liu With Han gone, Wenger has nothing to worry about.

The Arsenal team who came to the Southampton Valley Stadium carried out a proper rotation. Wenger sent out half of the young players and half of the old players. However, Liu Han still started. Besides, he didn't play the whole game in the last game.

The Valley Stadium has been used for more than 100 years. It can be regarded as the oldest stadium in use in the Premier League. The Valley Stadium can only accommodate 5000 people. It is still the smallest stadium in the entire Premier League, but it has been playing in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. Southampton are building their new stadium.

However, although Southampton looks like a small club with a yearly package, their youth training is very good. They have trained many outstanding stars for England, from Kevin Keegan to Alan Shearer. The core of many Premier League teams came out of Southampton's youth training camp.

Throughout the game, Southampton put on a defensive posture, and Liu Han was surrounded by three defensive players. In the last game, Liu Han scored four goals in the half, which not only shocked Europe, but also shocked even more. Many Premier League teams are terrified.

Facing the fully withdrawn Southampton team, Arsenal, who have undergone a rotation, are a little uncomfortable. The cooperation between young players and old players has always lacked tacit understanding.

The game was not decided until the last moment. In the 805th minute, Liu Han headed Grimandi's corner kick into the opponent's goal, and Southampton finally fell short.

After a last-minute victory over Southampton, Arsenal have five days to rest and will next face visiting Swedish side AIK Solna.

This game will be held at Wembley Stadium, which is licensed by the British Football Association. After all, Arsenal represent England in the UEFA Champions League, and there is no way to provide comprehensive security in the poor conditions of Highbury. The safety of Swedish fans, so the British Football Association licensed Arsenal to use Wembley Stadium as their home stadium during the Champions League.

The Wembley Stadium, which can accommodate 8 people, is almost full in Arsenal's Champions League match. Arsenal fans are still looking forward to their team's performance in the Champions League.

In this game, Wenger did not let Liu Han start the game, but sent Henry and Bergkamp's striker lineup. Wenger felt that Henry should be trained more. After all, Liu Han does not seem to be staying at Arsenal for a long time, and The strength of the opponent is not very good, Wenger can rest assured that the experimental lineup.

But what the Arsenal team present did not expect was that the Arsenal team's advantage in today's Champions League match was not decided until the last minute.

Knowing that their strength is inferior to that of Arsenal, the Solna team formed a lineup of five defenders. With the addition of double midfielders, the Solna team will defend and counterattack very thoroughly, and their two forwards on the front line are both For a high center forward with a height of more than 1.9 meters, it seems that the Solna team is determined to make a long pass.

The start of the game actually went smoothly. Ljungberg scored a goal in the 25th minute of the first half, giving Arsenal the lead. However, Henry and Bergkamp on the front line were completely lost in the opponent's muscle jungle. For the tall Nordic players, Henry and Bergkamp seemed quite helpless.

At halftime, Arsenal took the lead.

But after entering the second half, the Solna team took advantage of a corner kick to equalize the score with a header from the high center forward.

The Solna team, which equalized the score, completely defended this time. Their coach replaced a striker and added a midfielder.

The Arsenal team besieged their opponents, but they always got the upper hand and failed to score. Until the last 10 minutes of the game, Wenger, who was afraid that the team would be equalized by a weaker team, replaced Liu Han.

Liu Han did not show any weakness in the fierce physical confrontation of the Nordic players. The physical fitness that has been honed to the extreme is beyond the reach of ordinary players. In addition, Liu Han, who has always insisted on standing, has a very precise grasp of the direction of the opponent's strength, so he After playing, Arsenal immediately posed a threat in the opponent's penalty area.

When the game entered stoppage time, Bergkamp took a corner kick and Liu Han overwhelmed the defensive headers of the other three players to score the ball. Arsenal took the lead at the last moment, and the Solna players were extremely frustrated.

But just before the referee was about to blow the whistle for the end of the game, Liu Han scored again, and his iconic violent long-range shot made the opponent's goalkeeper sigh.

In the end, relying on Liu Han's two goals at the last moment, Arsenal won the game. Next, they can prepare for the match against Barcelona on September [-] with peace of mind.
