Chapter 810 The home fans who lie flat
After the happy holiday, the Arsenal players returned to the training base. Under Wenger's leadership, they will have two days to prepare for the next round of the Champions League group stage.
In the last round of the Champions League group stage, both the strength of the opponent and the pressure to advance are extremely small, but the only thing is that the team will still go to Greece to play this game.
This made the professor feel a little thoughtful. His players had just experienced the national team competition and started a fierce showdown with Everton when they returned to the league.
Now, in the case of a week's double-game, some players continue to suffer from the fatigue caused by long-distance travel, which is completely an injury rhythm.
In fact, before we even set off, wounded people appeared in the gunman's formation during these two days of training.
Rosici, who started against Everton in the last game, sprained her knee during training and was judged by the team doctor to take at least one month to recover.
This made Wenger finally make up his mind. In addition to the few players who have already made a resumption, he continued to do a lot of rotation when arranging the team's lineup.
"Tomorrow's game will be the last game of our group stage, I want to say yes, let's keep the victory to the end."
Facing Olympiacos, Arsenal has never suffered a defeat. When the professor stood in the conference room again and began to announce the team's roster, his words also made the players nod and agree.
"Then, we will play 442 in tomorrow's game."
When the electronic pen in his hand clicked on the screen, the professor began to quickly arrange the team's start. The first ones appeared were two forward players, and the names of Liu Feng and Neymar appeared one after another.
"Feng, Neymar, I don't think I need to say more about the task of you two. We should end the game as quickly as possible with the goal."
"I understand coach!"
"Okay, then four midfielders, Chamberlain, Ganso, Casorla, Walcott."
Young is to be patient, which is the iron rule of sports. Whether it is Chamberlain or the little tiger, their state not only did not decline after the game against Everton, but instead showed an upward trend.
Seeing their reproachable performance in training, the professor has no reason not to use them.
Finally, it was the back line. Mertesacker, who had a rest in the last game, returned to the starting lineup, Vermallen got a chance to rest, Gibbs and Macon replaced Alba and Alves.
In the end, the professor set up the back line for Gibbs, Mertesacker, Koscheerny and Macon, and the goalkeeper continued to be Szczesny.
Most of the main players who were not able to enter the starting lineup did not even enter the big list. After announcing all the lists, the professor directly signaled that those who did not read the name could enjoy the rest next.
It is worth mentioning that in this game, Li Ke, a Chinese and British player in the team, also entered the roster. He has not yet got his first chance to make a debut after joining the team this season. I wonder if he will make a debut this time.
After Liu Feng returned to London from Yokohama, Li Ke had a deeper communication with Liu Feng.
As a direct Chinese mother who is a Chinese, Li Ke has a high recognition of Chinese culture. During his exchanges with Liu Feng, he mentioned more than once whether he could also play football in the Chinese national team.
After judging the strength of the national team, Liu Feng gave him a positive answer. After all, Zhang Yuning and Wei Shihao are now only a role in Serie A who has just entered the first team bench, and they are no different from Li Ke.
Such players can help the team after returning to the national team. It is natural that Li Ke, who is highly valued and loved by the professor, will be fine when he goes back.
So, Li Ke, who was thinking, nodded after receiving Liu Feng's affirmative answer.
Liu Feng didn't know what Li Ke would do in the future, because after all, he is now British and China does not recognize dual nationality. If he wants to join the national team, he must give up his British nationality. This is quite difficult for him who grew up in the UK since childhood.
The London-Greece flight cut through the sky that night, and the team members checked in the most luxurious hotel in the local area that night. The competition was held in the afternoon of local time, and they had plenty of rest and preparation time.
The next morning, I borrowed the local club venue for the final training, took a nap in the hotel at noon, and took a bus to the Olympiacos home court Kareskakis Stadium. The Arsenal team's schedule was clearly arranged by their heads.
However, unlike previous away games, this time when the Arsenal team's bus came to the opponent's home court, they were not greeted by boos, but rather by cheers.
This made the players of Big Bus once wonder if there was something wrong with their ears, but when they looked closely, they found that many fans wearing home team jerseys were indeed holding posters of Arsenal players and making calls.
"This is different from the first time we've been here."
Liu Feng and Gan Suo were chatting with each other with a smile.
"Maybe we've really conquered."
Actually, it really has this meaning.
As a team that has been entering the Champions League for many years but has been out of the group all year round, their fans are really Buddhist.
What they most look forward to every year is not that the team is drawn into a group with weak strength, but that the more strong teams they draw, the better the group, because in this way, they have the chance to see at least three strong teams in other leagues at home.
With this mentality, they encountered Arsenal, the defending champion who won two consecutive Champions Leagues this season. After confirming that the team is really not Arsenal's opponent, they began to change their mindset and become happy.
"Maple! Maple! Maple!"
Before the bus drove into the stadium, Liu Feng even heard the crowd start to shout his name loudly.
So, the game began at this beginning.
...
"The ball is in!!! Liu Feng! The first record was opened in the seventh minute of the game, and he continued his strong goal momentum in the Champions League."
At the Careskakis Stadium, Arsenal, who chose to control the ball, did not let Olympiacos touch the ball within seven minutes of the game. After a series of dazzling passes, Liu Feng on the left side of the penalty area directly sent the ball into the goal with a splash.
"1-0, the Gunners' passing cooperation was wonderful, and Gansuo, as the core of the organization, began to see a significant change in his playing style."
