[That brother who dreamed of Bayern 10:2 Arsenal was half right, Arsenal's aggregate score is 5:1 Bayern.]
-
[Professor avenges his shame +1.]
-
[I hope Little Li can have a fulfilling Champions League journey this year! I can't bear to see him go through hardships again, may the God of Wealth bless him!]
-
[Li Mingdeng, add oil!]
-
[It's a pity that the Champions League canceled the semi-final zoning rules. If this Arsenal team encounters Real Madrid or Juventus, it will be really difficult!]
-
[Looking down on Atletico Madrid? They just completed their advancement at the King Power Stadium, the second Champions League semi-finalist is born.]
-
[Drawing Atletico Madrid is a nightmare difficulty, Arsenal will be skinned after playing two rounds, believe it or not, they will collapse on all three fronts!]
Leicester City, King Power Stadium.
The Foxes' miracle did not play out on the Champions League stage. Perhaps when they were slaughtered 5:0 by Porto in the group stage, the ending was already doomed.
But they still created the club's European war history and can proudly leave the field with their heads held high.
Head coach Craig Shakespeare embraced the players one by one.
He was originally Ranieri's assistant coach. After the latter was dismissed, this guy directly created a record of 4 consecutive wins in the early coaching career of a Premier League native coach.
No Leicester City players were lying on stretchers.
Atletico Madrid during this historical period, due to the supermodel individual abilities of the players, was sufficient to support Simeone's tactical concept, and did not need to implement pressing defense through deformed fouls.
Speaking of their "dirty reputation"? Far inferior to RCD Espanyol in the Catalonia region.
The fans of the Mattress Makers, who had come from afar, were overjoyed.
Saúl and Koke, several young players who played the entire game, were still full of energy, taking turns jumping and climbing on the crossbar.
"The English media always say that La Liga stars can't adapt to the Premier League's physical contact. After two rounds, I feel like..."
"Shhh! The English media is the stingiest, there will be lip-reading experts to analyze what you said! We've already won."
"Scared of what."
Command area.
Simeone, wearing a black trench coat, had his hands in his pockets, looking proudly at the entire field.
Media reporters once again broke through the security personnel's cordon and surrounded the Atlético manager.
"The opponent you least want to meet in the semi-finals?"
"They are the ones who least want to meet Atletico Madrid!"
On the other hand.
Barcelona is miserable.
Not only did they not have Champions League to play, but in last week's La Liga game, the entire main squad actually lost to Deportivo La Coruña.
The total value of the opponent's team barely exceeded 10 million euros.
New coach Ernesto Valverde was dumbfounded.
He suddenly realized: Being the coach of Barcelona is a hot potato, comparable to the hellish coaching difficulty of Manchester United!
The water is too deep.
"Boss, Enrique and Robert were kicked out, why didn't you persuade the higher-ups to let Li come home?"
"Li will not return to Camp Nou, this is not his home, I understand the whole story."
"The club may have 300 million in transfer funds in the summer window, the targets are Liverpool's Coutinho, Borussia Dortmund's Dembélé, and Paulinho, who plays in the Chinese Super League."
"Are these three guys worth 300 million combined? No... why do we have so much transfer money? Is Neymar leaving?"
Valverde nodded and shook his head again.
His real transfer target is Paulinho, as for Coutinho and Dembélé...
"Barcelona can no longer support the dynasty play style."
The former universe team will experience a period of "normalization."
Madrid.
Toni Kroos smiled brightly when he saw the news of Arsenal's elimination of Bayern.
Casemiro asked curiously, "That's your old club... Damn, I don't want to meet Li in the semi-finals, it's too tiring to play against him."
Having said that.
Fat Tiger just felt that he would be tired, but he didn't think he would lose.
His combat power soared in the 16/17 season, and he became more and more tacit with Kroos and Modrić.
It was as if a layer of lubricant had been applied between the three midfielders of the midfield trio.
"Semi-finals?"
"Don't be overturned by Napoli in tonight's game!"
"Are you kidding me..."
In the corner,
Modrić held a tablet.
Staring blankly at Arsenal's number 10 in the game video.
Turin.
Juventus training base.
Pa!
Buffon saved Dybala's shot.
The yellow gloves made a "thumbs up" shape.
"Not bad! Kid, your era is coming soon!"
The Argentine youngster smiled shyly.
He is constantly evolving this season. Not only has he not lost his agility and creativity in the Old Lady's tactical system, but his body and awareness have also been greatly improved.
What's more, his forward partner is Mandžukić, an excellent killer like Higuaín.
On the other side.
Dani Alves was doing one-on-one practice with Cuadrado.
The Barcelona discard is a bit uncomfortable in Serie A, but he has performed well in the Champions League.
Not far away, Pjanić's head poked out of the second-floor window and was pulled back in an instant.
"I asked you to watch Arsenal's video last night! What did you see?"
"Li!"
"Anything else?"
"He's taller than he was two years ago!"
Allegri: "..."
He is not good at controlling the dressing room, and does not communicate much with the players, but he likes to deal with Pjanić.
Why?
Learn from the lessons of working with Pirlo when coaching Milan.
Of course, the Juventus coach does not think that Pjanić is "Pirlo's successor."
Manchester.
Guardiola was huddled in his office.
Draft paper that had been ravaged by pencils was scattered on the table.
Arteta handed him a cup of coffee and asked with concern: "Our next opponent is Stoke City, there is no need to study too deeply, rest early... Hmm? Why is Arsenal's player name written on it?"
Guardiola scratched his temples, his eyes confused.
"How can Arsenal win against Juventus, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid?"
"I shouldn't have persuaded Li to play as a full-back in the first place."
"Morata should play as a central midfielder, and Li should play as a center forward!"
"The rotation range of the two of them should be larger! The positions should be more blurred!"
The Manchester City coach's eyes suddenly lit up, as if a child had cleared a level in a game.
Arteta's mouth twitched.
Manchester City is in a difficult period of rebuilding, but their own coach is actually concerned about Arsenal.
But think about it carefully: Guardiola can even pull opposing players to talk about tactics during the game... calling players in the middle of the night to point out problems, compared to that, focusing on Li's behavior is not surprising.
Also, there is still more, but it will be very late, everyone go to bed early, wake up tomorrow morning and read it again.
