Chapter 405 Wembley Welcome Ceremony
Entering March, Arsenal's schedule is gradually getting denser. As the Champions League is about to enter the knockout stage, Arsenal's next schedule will be very intensive. In addition, they have also advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup. Therefore, throughout March Arsenal Arsenal will face double matches a week or even three matches a week, which will be no small challenge for Arsenal.

After discussing with the coaching staff, Wenger decided to strategically abandon the FA Cup. By the fifth round of the FA Cup, he was just facing the start of the Champions League knockout round. Wenger must ensure the results of the league and the Champions League. For the title of Triple Crown Although he is also very envious, but for now, their bench depth has not met such requirements, especially the old defense line.

However, after the team's away victory over Valencia on March [-], the team has established the team's advantage in the second stage of the Champions League group stage. In this case, Wenger can rotate as much as possible in the games against Porto and Bordeaux , For the current Arsenal, the league title must be defended.

In the away game against Valencia, Liu Han scored two goals, which also brought the number of goals in the Champions League to twelve goals, which is close to the single-season scoring record of the Champions League. The winner is AC Milan star Altafini, who scored 1962 goals in the 63-[-] UEFA Champions League.

However, Liu Han's Champions League schedule is not over yet. If there are no accidents, he will have at least four more Champions League games to play. Of course, if everything goes well, he can play up to seven Champions League games. With his scoring efficiency , It is estimated that the goal record of the Champions League will be expanded to a jaw-dropping number.

With Arsenal's strong performance in the league and the Champions League, they have also been recognized by the European gaming industry. The odds for Arsenal to win the league title or the Champions League have been falling, but there have been many Arsenal's before. The loyal fans have bought Arsenal for the title.

After finishing their trip to Spain, Arsenal immediately returned to London to prepare for the seventh round of No.20 in the league. Their opponent was Aston Villa. He has to play Aston Villa in the fifth round of the FA Cup in three days.

On March 20th, the Arsenal team came to Villa Park Stadium, which is the seventh round of No.[-] in the Premier League.

In the game, facing the rather conservative Aston Villa team, Arsenal team played their usual cooperation. Liu Han joined the team's offense and defense in the midfield, and at the same time, he gradually found the feeling in the center position. Henry also exerted his power.

Although the score of [-]-[-] does not explain all the problems, anyone who has watched the game knows that Aston Villa has no power to fight back. Villa only had four decent shots in the whole game.

Liu Han did not score a goal in this game, but he sent two assists. Henry is the beneficiary. As Liu Han's reputation grows, every Premier League team attaches great importance to Liu Han's defense. It makes it easier for other Arsenal players after he comes to the frontcourt.Facing Villa's slow-turning defender, Henry played his own speed advantage.

Two days later, back at home, Arsenal lost [-]-[-] to Aston Villa in the fifth round of the FA Cup. The Arsenal team, who played as a substitute, played carelessly in this game. Ribery Get a start and score a face-saving goal.

After being knocked out of the FA Cup, Arsenal can rest their minds and prepare for their upcoming Champions League rivals Valencia, this time at home, although not at Highbury, which has been banned by UEFA for safety reasons. But against the Spanish team at Wembley, I believe England fans will send a welcome ceremony to the visiting Spaniards.

The Arsenal team has been established for a century, but it has never won the Champions League glory, so for fans who support Arsenal, they expect the team to go further in the Champions League.

Liu Han's expectations for the Champions League are also higher than those of the league and the FA Cup. Compared with the Premier League opponents, Liu Han hopes to challenge stronger opponents, such as Barcelona in the first stage of the group stage, such as the one just defeated last week Valencia, he hopes to further strengthen himself in the game against strong opponents.

The Valencia team was somewhat dissatisfied with the last loss to Arsenal at home. After all, it was Valencia who scored the first goal in the game, and the Arsenal team only relied on Liu Han's personal performance to overtake the score. , As for Arsenal's third goal, it can only be said that they were deceived by Arsenal.

Valencia has made comprehensive preparations for Arsenal's home game. Cooper even asked all players to face this game with the attitude of facing the Champions League final. Cooper cannot tolerate his team losing to A team weaker than yourself.

In Cooper's view, the Arsenal team is nothing but Liu Han.

On the first day of coming to London, Valencia received their first gift from here. The continuous rain made London extremely humid and cold, which made the players who are used to the sunny weather of Valencia very uncomfortable.

The game officially started on March [-]th. It was still raining lightly on the day of the game, but the Arsenal fans baked Wembley hot with enthusiasm. This can be seen from the boos heard by the Valencia players after entering the field Proven, because the booing here was so loud that the Valencia players had to put their ears to each other's words.

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially started, and Arsenal attacked first.

Faced with the defeat in the previous game, the Valencia team made a summary after the game. They re-analyzed Arsenal's tactics and found that in the last game, more than 80.00% of Arsenal's offense was It is focused on Liu Han, and judging from Arsenal's performance in the Champions League, they basically relied on Liu Han's goals to get to the present, so before the start of this game, the Valencia team Specially practiced the defensive tactics against a top center like Liu Han.

But what the Valencia team didn't expect was that at the beginning of today's game, Liu Han did not stand on the front line, but retreated to the front midfielder. Bergkamp and Henry's partners were on the front line.

Wenger is now very proud of his decision to sign Liu Han hastily, because he now benefits from the fact that Liu Han can greatly enrich Arsenal's tactics.

Attack can destroy a city, control can thread a needle, and defense can be solid. The existence of Liu Han made Wenger feel that he could formulate a hundred tactics for Arsenal.

In this game, he put Liu Han in the front midfielder position, the purpose is to hope that Liu Han can suppress Valencia's midfielder in the midfield, and his arrangement also turned Valencia's defensive strategy into a joke. You can't ignore the existence of the French and the Dutch and let the defensive players stare at Liu Han.

After Henry and Bergkamp kicked off in the middle circle, they passed the ball back to Liu Han.Liu Han took the ball and continued to pass back. The formation has not yet unfolded, and Valencia today has a lineup of double midfielders, five midfielders and a single striker. A rash breakthrough or cross pass is more dangerous.

After receiving Liu Han's return pass, Vieira crossed to Overmars on the right again. Overmars took two steps and found that the opponent's press was immediately posted up and did not rush to break through. Instead, he continued to pass. To Liu Han who has come to meet him.

When Liu Han received the ball, his heel swayed past Mendieta, who was close to him, and then strode forward to take the ball.

As Liu Han became more and more proficient in the game, his understanding of football has also undergone qualitative changes. In the past, he thought those fancy moves were useless, but now he gradually feels that not all fancy moves are useless. It is not used in the right place. Any action on the football field is useful, even if it does not touch the ball.

After a simple and beautiful pass by Mendieta, Liu Han strode forward with the ball. Valencia's defense today is very tight, with a very tight press in the midfield.

Liu Han met Farinos who was defending after taking a few steps. Instead of seeking a breakthrough, he passed to Bergkamp not far from the front right, and then suddenly cut to the right himself.

Bergkamp, ​​who had a very tacit understanding with Liu Han, immediately cooperated with the wall, knocking the ball back to Liu Han lightly, and at the same time he evaded the space and cut into the penalty area to the left.

Liu Han's speed is faster than Farinos, which makes him receive the ball one step faster, but instead of dribbling the ball, he distributes the ball to the wing, and Bergkamp's running position takes it away Valencia's left-back.

Overmars on the wing has been told to plug in, but Kiri Gonzalez on his side is not to be outdone, and follows closely.

After receiving the ball at high speed, Overmars yanked the ball around and turned around. Then, without sticking to the ball, he passed the ball back to Liu Han who stayed in place to respond.

At this time, Liu Han was still surrounded by Farinos, and Mendieta also retreated to attack Liu Han. The action of catching the ball suddenly missed, and the ball rolled directly from his crotch. Vieira, who inserted in the middle, received the ball without anyone defending.

Liu Han didn't look back at Vieira's running position at all just now. He just felt that the Frenchman would step forward at this time to respond. Sure enough, his feeling was correct.

Vieira catches the ball and pushes it lightly, then fires a burst shot.

Although Vieira's skills have been criticized for a long time, with the continuous training, his progress is faster than many people imagined. The quality of this shot is very high, just like his shot in the last game against Valencia. The last goal scored.

Canizares struggled to spread his body in the air, but his save was a little bit worse. Vieira's kick had a good angle and speed, and it flew into the goal at the junction of the crossbar and the post. Arsenal opened the game His first shot broke through the gate of the visiting Valencia team.

Arsenal's goal was cheered by a packed Wembley Stadium. Nothing excites London fans more than beating a foreign team, and they love the welcome of the Spaniard.
