Golden Greenery

Judging from the formation alone, Arsenal and Barcelona are very similar, both are 4-3-3 that emphasizes passing and control, and the staffing is also similar.

Barcelona's frontcourt trident is Djomei, and Arsenal's side has Bendtner in the center, with Nasri and Tsar Arshavin on the left and right.

It had been almost five years since the Tsar left Madiburg, and had only stayed on the peninsula for one season. But Arshavin still enjoys good popularity there, and his politeness always makes others feel good about him.

Barcelona's midfielder has Busquets, the midfielder who connects the past and the next. Arsenal must have Alexander Xiaosong in the middle. When it comes to darkness, Abi makes no distinction between them.

Marcos was kicked off the court by Zhuo Yang, and the biggest beneficiary was naturally Pique, who is now Puyol's first choice partner.

Belgian center back Vermaelen is the same age as Zhuoyang. He moved to Arsenal last summer for 10 million pounds. Vermaelen started with Rock Dras in the Champions League final between Madiburg and Barcelona four years ago.

With the departure of Pompon Lewis and Vermaelen, Old Rock gradually began to fade out of Madiburg's main lineup due to age. Tuchel's first choice center back combination was replaced by the 27-year-old Westerman and the 23-year-old Ta Very clear.

The Madibao people are a close family. Before the start of the game, Zhuoyang, Tsar, Xiao Song, and Vermaelen even asked reporters on the sidelines to take a photo of the four of them. Unexpectedly, the Madibao people next to the TV saw this scene and felt in their hearts How much sadness will there be.

Since ancient times, we have been a family in La Masia! Incited by Zhuoyang's move, Pique greeted Xiaobu and Messi, and forced Fabregas to take a photo with him. As a result, there were boos in the stands at the Emirates Stadium. Not to mention how embarrassed Fabregas looked. .

Among the four, Busquets is one year younger. The other three were all born in 1987 and were once classmates of La Masia. However, Fabre left early. When Fabre came to La Masia, Fabre Gass has become a regular at Arsenal.

Today is the day when Henry, the former King of Highbury, returns to the Emirates Stadium, but Guardiola has not given a starting reward, which makes the eager fans quite bored. But what makes them even more regretful is that the new king of the arsenal is basically out of action this season due to injuries.

In November last year, Van Persie's ankle was injured by Chiellini in a match against the Netherlands and Italy, and he has been injured until now. It is expected that Van Persie will not recover from the injury until next month at the earliest.

In fact, after the quarter-finals were drawn, the media was generally not optimistic about Arsenal. It’s not because their strength is far behind Barcelona.

Arsenal is also one of the most powerful teams today, simply because from a tactical point of view, Barcelona is very restrained against Arsenal.

Now more and more teams realize that fighting against Barcelona is tantamount to seeking death. In recent years, the only team in world football that has done this is AC Milan in the Champions League final last season. The Red and Black Emperors are in control. Barcelona has achieved suppressive success in football, the project that Barcelona is best at.

Milan cannot be copied. The best consensus to deal with Barcelona is the iron barrel formation, which compresses the formation and area to achieve a decisive counterattack. But setting up an iron barrel formation is not a problem for other teams, only Arsenal can't let go of this face.

The iron barrel formation is obviously not Wenger's pursuit. Arsenal under the professor's rule is one of the most gorgeous teams in world football. It may be a question of living on your knees or dying standing.

As expected, Arsenal started a confrontation with Barcelona, ​​and because it was at home, the offensive was particularly fiery. It's a pity that Barcelona is not afraid of this kind of bravery at all. The systematic ball control tactics that can make Arsenal run in full swing are actually of no use. In the first 20 minutes, all threats to the goal came from Barcelona.

In the first minute of the game, Zhuoyang crossed the goal from the left, and Vermaelen rushed to save the ball before Ibrahimovic. Xavi took a corner kick and Busquets' long shot was blocked by Almunia.

In the 5th minute, Messi dribbled the ball from the center and hit the goal with his left foot, but was blocked by Almunia with his leg. Immediately afterwards, Alves made a pass from the right and Ibrahimovic pushed the ball away.

In the 9th minute, Zhuoyang dribbled the ball from the left rib at high speed and shot from the edge of the penalty area and hit the side net.

In the 13th minute, Alves made a pass from the right, Keita completed a pass from Harvey, and Messi held back his powerful shot in the arc of the penalty area and missed the target slightly. A minute later, Harvey made a direct pass from the frontcourt. Ibrahimovic's left-footed shot in the penalty area was saved by Almunia. Maxwell passed it back to the goal. Zhuo Yang's supplementary shot was saved by Almunia.

In the 15th minute, Alves' long-range shot was blocked, and Messi's volley from the right side of the penalty area hit Xiao Song's stomach. In the 17th minute, Harvey passed a free kick from the right, Zhuoyang outflanked and ejected and was blocked by Almunia. A minute later, Alves made a cross and Pique headed the ball in front of the penalty area. Almunia saved the ball.

The only reason Arsenal didn't concede a goal in the first 20 minutes was Almunia. When Zhuo Yang looked around, he always felt that there was a pair of protective wings behind this man.

In fact, since the retirement of legendary goalkeeper Seaman, Arsenal's goalkeeper has been very uneasy, including Lehmann, who has always been in trouble from time to time. The current three goalkeepers Almunia, Fabianski and Mannone are also famous butter players in the Premier League.

Who doesn’t eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year? Barcelona caught up with Almunia today when he was getting excited.

It wasn't until the 22nd minute that Arsenal had their first shot. Nasri cut in from the left corner of the penalty area and shot a long shot with his right foot. The ball bounced off the ground and missed the right post.

From Highbury to the Emirates, Arsenal changed to a new stadium, but the injury curse also followed the move. In the 26th minute, Tsar Arshavin sprained his thigh without confrontation and could only limp and was replaced by Eboue.

It is always said that misfortunes never come singly, and that is the case for Arsenal today. In the 35th minute, French defender William Gallas frowned after successfully defending Zhuoyang's breakthrough, and then told the professor that he could no longer persist.

Gallas is a very good defender, because he is the only central defender wearing the No. 10 jersey in the five major leagues, and he cannot carry it without a little exaggeration.

Before the game, Zhuo Yang said to Messi: "If I were you, I would find a way to beat Gallas. He is embarrassing your glorious No. 10 family!"

Messi smiled and said: "And Real Madrid's Las Diarra is also No. 10. Both of them are the type that can make Diego angry to death."

Galas is actually recovering from his injury and this is his first game back. There was no other way. Professor Wenger looked worried and quickly replaced him with Brazilian midfielder Denilson, and brought Alexander Song back to partner with Vermaelen. Arsenal surprised the Madibao defense line.

In the 43rd minute, Zhuo Yang encountered Cesc Fabregas' defense after receiving the ball in the midfield. He used fried meatballs to dodge Fabregas behind him, but he did not dodge it cleanly. Xiao Fa turned around and stretched out his legs, which happened to be between Zhuo Yang's legs. Everyone fell loudly at the same time.

The Swiss referee Busaca gave Xiaofa a yellow card. He buried his head in the grass and beat it hard in annoyance, as if he was heartbroken.

Zhuo Yang was a little confused: It's just a yellow card, does it mean life or death?

Fabregas will miss the second leg at the Nou Camp six days later due to accumulation of yellow cards, and he has lost the chance to shine in front of Barcelona fans.
