Golden Greenery

Many years later, when Professor Wenger recalled it, he still couldn't believe that day that he could not look back on.

In the second leg of the 2009-10 Champions League quarter-finals, both Barcelona and Arsenal had many good players unable to appear. Barcelona's Puyol, Xavi, and Pique are suspended due to red and yellow cards, Ibrahimovic has a calf muscle strain and cannot play, Marcos is resting, and Zyglinski is not eligible to participate. Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas and Alexander Xiaosong are suspended due to red and yellow cards, while Robin van Persie, Arshavin and Gallas are absent due to injuries.

In the same predicament, Wenger made a fuss about the formation. The professor evolved the 4-3-3 that did not get a bargain in the last round into a 4-5-1, and stationed troops in the midfield to try to create some miracles at Camp Nou.

Guardiola is working hard on personnel matching. Although the manpower shortage is appalling, the "extremely" smart Guardiola still has a dojo in the snail shell. In fact, there are not many choices. It is inevitable that Yaya Toure, who can play as a central defender, and the only full-time Xiao Milito will be paired together. The young players of the second team may not be able to hold on in the big scenes of the Champions League.

Without Xavi, Barcelona is not panicking. There is still the big devil Zhuo Yang, and Messi leads Bo Yang and Pedro on the front line. Anyway, the 3:2 away result in the first leg is a huge advantage. If Arsenal wants to come back, they must win by at least two goal differentials. Such a story has not been told by any team at Camp Nou this season.

Arsenal is a team that is good at telling jokes but not very good at telling stories. This is a club that is born with a funny temperament. Sooner or later, the players who come here will be infected with the ** character. Xiao Song, the auspicious three treasures, the third son of the cross, Denilson, the son of three virtues, Diaby, the second master who plays one game and one game, and Sylvester, the defender with a long history.

French defender Sylvester spent his best ten seasons at Manchester United, and also made Sir Alex Ferguson fearful for ten years. After Sir Alex Mo left to Old Trafford in 2005, Sylvester gradually Fade out of the lineup. It wasn't that Wenger was attracted to him two years ago, but that Ferguson's price of 750,000 had figured out Wenger's psychology.

If you don't give away a penny for free, Wenger will definitely sneer at it, even if the price is too high. This little money can just hit Professor Wenger's g-spot. Sir Alex is not only good at coaching, he is also good at marketing, and he also knows Wenger.

Wenger found a treasure from a street stall and treated Sylvester as a guest. Sylvester also added countless suspense and passion to Arsenal's road to securing the fourth place, leaving a very deep impression on Arsenal fans. . No difficulty creates difficulty, no danger creates danger. The wonderful Sylvester partnered with Vermaelen today.

In the midfield, Wenger sent the young tiger Walcott, who was amazing in the last game, as well as the famous artistic passer Rosicky.

When Zhuoyang first became famous in the Bundesliga 2, some German media once hailed him as "Little Rosicky" because of his elegant and free midfield style.

Also because he is a pianist, Rosicky is called the Mozart of football.

But since Zhuoyang entered the Bundesliga, Dortmund midfielder Rosicky has never been able to compete with Mozart. During that period, Zhuoyang had become a figure who was as good as Ronaldinho.

In the year Zhuoyang left the Bundesliga, Rosicky was also sold to Arsenal by Dortmund, who was eager to deal with the club's financial balance. If it weren't for frequent injuries, Rosicky, Hleb, and Cesc Fabregas, the Arsenal midfield trio, would have been able to take over the power of Henry and his three Musketeers. It's a pity that injuries prevented Rosicky from playing again. At the top of the game, and with the departure of Flamini, who had loyally protected Francesco, Arsenal's midfielder has always been groping in chaos, otherwise there would be no such thing as the lucky three treasures.

However, today Arsenal is missing Xiaofa and Xiaosong, and none of the "three"s are complete. The five-man midfield sounds bustling, but in actual operation, they can't even grab the ball in front of Zhuoyang, Xiaobu and Keita. Come down.

In the 3rd minute, Zhuo Yang took the lead. He received Abidal's cross from the wing and hit the post with his heel shot. He scored a hat-trick in the last game. Even if he retreated to the midfield in this game, Arsenal did not dare to be careless with Zhuo Yang. Diaby chased him all the way, but in the end he missed Zhuo Yang and smiled at him after finishing the shot. laugh.

A minute later, Zhuoyang made a pass from the center. After Messi took the ball, his left-footed shot from the edge of the penalty area was saved by Almunia and saved the far corner with his fingertips. Today, Guardiola not only changed his lineup, but also made a big shift in his traditional position. Messi did not stand on his accustomed right wing, but lurked in the center.

In the 6th minute, Zhuoyang and Busquets broke through to the penalty area after a one-two. Instead of blindly going it alone, they passed the ball back to Messi and slid out with another powerful shot.

In the 10th minute, Bojan passed the ball from the right, and Pedro's low shot from the edge of the penalty area narrowly missed the goal post. A minute later, Zhuo Yang cooperated with Messi again. No matter how many defensive players Arsenal had, they became spectators. Unfortunately, Messi's final shot missed the upper left corner of the goal.

In the first 18 minutes of the first half, Barcelona completely took the initiative on the field, with a ball possession rate of 85%. The shooting ratio between the two sides was 8:0, Arsenal fouled 8:1, and the passing success rate was only a pitiful 49%.

This is not Arsenal, this is dough that Barcelona has rolled and flattened at will.

But football is amazing, you never know what will happen next second.

Arsenal have six players in the frontcourt at 5+1 today. Nasri should be the one least good at defending, Dibia is the least good at passing the ball, Walcott has nothing worth mentioning except for his speed. As for the lone forward Bendtner , if Van Persie hadn't been injured and Adebayor hadn't defected to Manchester City, he might have sat through the bench.

But football is always magical. It's like driving on a path in a vast forest of flowers and flowers. Maybe an incredible view will appear at the next turn.

In the 18th minute, Milito was a little careless while dribbling the ball in the center circle. Nasri, who was least good at grabbing the ball, stretched his leg and stole the ball away. Then he knocked back to Diaby who was closest to him. It wouldn't be a surprise to anyone else, but Diaby's wonderful penetrating pass was beyond everyone's knowledge.

Walcott, who always loses his position, happened to be offside due to another blind run. He only used one touch to reach the right side of Barcelona's penalty area.

Walcott made a cross, and Bendtner's shot was too straight, and was fiercely saved by Valdes. Alves, who returned to defense, was only one step away from catching up, and the football returned to Bendtner's feet. After all, the Danish center is also a shooter. He did not waste the second opportunity and succeeded in the empty goal from the edge of the small penalty area.

Arsenal, who were extremely passive, scored the first time they threatened to attack. You have to sigh that this is football.

The total score of 3:3 did not make Arsenal survive, but it also allowed them to see a glimmer of hope on the surface of the water. The Arsenal people were celebrating, but the Barcelona people were very angry. The culprit of the goal loss, Xiao Milito, was even more silent. He looked at the angry teammates around him with fear, and Zhuo Yang who was walking towards him with a big slap in the air.
