Chapter six hundred and twenty second half worry and half joy
In the days after Arsenal won the championship, the entire European and even the world football world had never left their eyes.
It was not until the draw in the Champions League semi-finals that everyone was distracted again.
Compared with Sheng Jing, the draw of the draw of the quarterfinals and even the quarterfinals, this draw ceremony seems much more deserted.
The four teams that have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League this season are Real Madrid, Bundesliga and Bayern, two Premier League teams, Chelsea and Arsenal. The five major leagues are recognized as the old French Ligue 1 and no one is shortlisted.
As the former World Cup, no team in Serie A has entered the semi-finals.
The season when Inter Milan created the triumphal title seemed to have become the last masterpiece of Serie A team. Whether they can rise again against the backdrop of the rapid decline in the domestic economy is going to draw a big question mark.
At this draw ceremony, the coaches of the four teams and several core players were all present, and the latest matchup situation was drawn with the attention of countless media.
The first team to be drawn was Real Madrid. After Kaka announced a one-year suspension of the game to go to China for treatment, the Galaxy battleship did not suffer much loss of strength.
Obviously, Kaka's rapid decline is an indisputable fact.
Ronaldo and Benzema and other Real Madrid players followed Mourinho. As coaches who retired from Inter Milan, Muniao's coaching results after coming to Real Madrid were also remarkable.
He led the team to win the King's Cup, which was eighteen years away when coaching Real Madrid last season. This season he and his team snatched Barcelona in the La Liga and had already opened the score in the game not long ago.
After being eliminated by Arsenal in the Champions League, Guardiola and his team are getting closer and closer to being won by their arch-rivals in the league.
I feel sorry for the popular tag of Gua Tu has become more and more popular on many websites and platforms that play with memes.
This is the second time Mourinho has led Real Madrid to the Champions League semi-finals after accepting the team. Their goals for the season are very clear and they have great ambitions for the Champions League while locking in the league championship.
Therefore, in the interview before the game, Mourinho and Ronaldo expressed this directly and confidently. The personalities of these two generals are notoriously unwilling to admit defeat and they performed very clearly in the interview.
Then, Real Madrid's opponent was drawn out, and Bayern Munich, the overlord who was the dominant Bundesliga in the distant Bundesliga, was drawn out as the overlord of all other league teams.
Needless to say, the strength of the Bundesliga giants led by Heinx is the best player in Germany, and it can be said that this club has the best players in the whole of Germany, which is completely considered half of the German national team.
Every year, they can fight their own things in the European war, making everyone realize that they are not easy to mess with.
But unfortunately, every time they failed to finally win the championship trophy that represents the highest honor of European clubs. All the factors of luck and condition made them fail.
When it was confirmed that the semi-final showdown with Real Madrid was about to start, Heinx and Mourinho looked at each other in the air. Although both coaches were smiling, their fighting spirit was visible to the naked eye.
The other two teams in the duel are also directly reflected after the draw. Arsenal and Chelsea will both relieve their rush and start their Champions League semi-finals in London City.
The London derby between red and blue is about to be staged again.
Arsenal led by Wenger will face off against the Blues Chelsea team, which has just been accepted by new coach Di Matteo for less than a month.
After the lottery results came out, some people in the Premier League media were happy and some were worried.
What is happy is that no matter what, a Premier League team will reach the Champions League final this season, but what is sad is that there is no way to see two Premier League teams meet in the final this season.
In the venue, Wenger and DiMatio and the players behind them had obviously communicated more clearly than Heinx and Mourinho's polite but estranged handshakes.
As a new coach who replaced Boas, Di Matteo played well in the four league and Champions League games he led, which also allowed people to see the strength of the new coach.
However, it is still unknown whether he can lead the team to chew a tough problem.
And now, he is going to lead the team to fight to the death with the now recognized strongest team Arsenal.
Perhaps, the only thing that can make Chelsea talk about is that Di Matteo has a short takeover of the team, and there is very little information about him in many people's habits and technical tactics.
Compared to the situation where Arsenal can collect data throughout the season, it is difficult for the Gunners' assistant coaches to get enough information to assist Wenger.
Don't underestimate the gap in this regard. In such matches in the Champions League semi-finals, sometimes a slight gap in a position may determine the outcome of a team.
"See you in the city of London."
"See you in the city of London."
The dialogue between the head coaches of the two teams came to an end, and the draw was officially over. The coaches of the four teams each left the draw site, and the results of the draw were also conveyed worldwide at the fastest speed.
Real Madrid plays against Bayern Munich, and Arsenal plays against Chelsea. The two matches have their own characteristics and highlights. The fans' inner expectations also reached the top after the results were announced.
Before that, several teams still have a league game to be held.
The day after returning to London, Arsenal's training continued as usual. The 34th round of the league will face the relegation team Wigan Athletics at home.
Five days after this league, they will go to Stamford Bridge Stadium to compete in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
Time is very tight, and it is also a question worth considering for Wenger, which is already eye-catching in order to relegate.
The two days of training were very long. When the players gathered again in the conference room in the end, Wenger came up with a plan.
"Girou and Maple are paired with two forwards, Chamberlain, Alexander Song, Rosicky and Walcott are four midfielders."
He quickly reported his own formation and once again came up with a 442 lineup that was more inclined to control and rely on the side lane.
"Four defenders, Gibbs, Squillac, Koscheerny, Sarnia, goalkeeper Fabianski."
Combining the substitute and the main players, the core players are still in big rotations, and in order to prepare for the match against Chelsea, Wenger finally decided on this lineup.
"Tomorrow's game is at home, kill the game as fast as possible, and then you can rest!"
