Chapter 234 The general is right
Arsenal is definitely in its prime now. They have won their opponents with big scores one after another and were rated by the media as the most powerful team after April.
In this case, Paris Saint-Germain, their Champions League quarter-final opponent, was unable to hold on. Both the local media in Paris and their fans began to look at the first upcoming showdown between the two sides with pessimism.
In this case, Laurent Blanco, as the head coach of Paris, had to stand up and say something. He led the team's most domineering and wild player Ibrahimovic to hold a pre-match press conference.
"Our opponent is a very good team, but, to this point, are there any teams in the Champions League that are not good?"
Blinking and starting with a playful word, Blanco obviously forced Arsenal to the same level as his own.
"The game may be tough, but we are playing at home, which means a lot of things, the support of the fans and the opportunity to wait for us to be more intense in form than our opponents."
"That's right."
Ibrahimovic, who always likes to show his rebellious side in front of the media, has now become Blanco's supporting role, constantly responding to Blanco's words.
"We also have the best group of players in the world. We also won the domestic cup championship and are about to win the Ligue 1. I think my team has enough strength to compete with Arsenal."
Blanco showed everyone his true thoughts with serious eyes at the camera. The coach was really not afraid of Wenger and his team.
"They have taken too many championships, and it's time to stop everything."
"Can'lala ~"
After Blanco finished speaking, the media at the scene fell into a clamor. Everyone was obviously surprised that Blanco, who was quite modest this season, said such words.
In fact, Blanco also smiled bitterly in his heart. When fans and media did not see their own team, the senior executives of his own club even revealed whether they could at least stay unbeaten at Princes Park Stadium.
This made Blanco, as a head coach, very unbearable. Football games are changing rapidly, and there is no need to consider regaining face before playing. Therefore, he must stand up and be a benchmark for fighting the Gunners to the end.
After Blanco finished speaking, he looked at Ibrahimovic on the side. It was obviously time for Ibrahimovic to perform.
"Feng is a very good player."
Ibrahimovic obviously understood the coach's meaning. He looked at the camera and his eyes slowly became full of fighting spirit: "But I am not bad. My purpose in coming to Paris is not to retire but to a greater honor. For this honor, I will defeat everyone in front of me."
"Does the Arsenal team led by Feng also include?"
"Yes, no one can stop Zlatan's pace."
"Crazy~"
Good guy, he is worthy of being a man with controversial topics. In just a few short sentences, the Ibrahimovic, who was disliked by many coaches and fans, appeared again. The reporters obviously realized that they had found a very good hot topic and started taking photos and recording them.
In this way, when Paris Saint-Germain's pre-match press conference ended, reports about Blanco and Ibrahimovic spread throughout the streets.
Fans and club executives are not optimistic about their teams, and they also realize that it is extremely stupid to show disconfidence towards the team before the game begins, and they have changed their approach one after another.
For a moment, the fans of Paris Saint-Germain finally became tough again. They began to fight against gun fans who expressed their contempt for themselves on the Internet. The debate between the two sides began in all aspects, and the topic of the quarter-final showdown began.
Compared to the way that the coach of Paris Saint-Germain has to jump out to be the center of public opinion for the morale of the team, Arsenal seems much more relaxed. Wenger and Liu Feng also held their own pre-match press conference.
At the press conference, Wenger responded to Blanco's remarks with a gentle smile. Obviously, he did not agree with the other party's approach to putting his own family at the same level.
"Paris has introduced a group of excellent players in recent years, but they still lack a lot of honors to prove themselves. They have a long way to go in the future. Maybe one day they can reach the finals smoothly, but I think it is definitely not this season."
Obviously, Paris Saint-Germain is far from being a wealthy family now. The rich man's takeover just gave them a chance to become a wealthy family. They did not prove themselves in tough battles and were just a rookie in the Champions League in Wenger's eyes.
In the eyes of professors, even if such a team has gained advantages for a short time, they often fall down due to insufficient momentum when dealing with traditional giants who are truly resilient in the game.
"Feng, what do you think of Zlatan's speech?"
After the head coach responded, the reporters turned the topic to Liu Feng. Everyone knew that Ibrahimovic and Liu Feng were friends in private, but now Zlatan openly despises Liu Feng when speaking to the media, and everyone is looking forward to the situation where friends rebelled.
"Hahaha, I know Zlatan too much. After all, he is a man who regards himself as God."
Who would have thought that Liu Feng was laughing, obviously he had talked to Ibrahimovic about this long ago: "I am honored to be placed on the same position as him, which means that I am also regarded as the best player in the world by him."
Good guy, it's almost two gods. Liu Feng's playful words made the reporters below exclaim, but they didn't expect Feng to respond to Ibrahimovic's words like this.
"Well, to be honest, I'm looking forward to having a lot of fights with him and the professors in Paris. We've played all the traditional European giants in the past few seasons, and the result is very clear. Now, it's time to meet the emerging giants."
In a blink of an eye, he began to look at the camera with serious eyes again, and Liu Feng no longer avoided the topic.
"As Zlatan said, they will clear all obstacles on the road to championships, and so do we. Arsenal will never give up. No one stipulates that if you win three championships, you can't pursue a fourth one. Our goal this season is still the championship!"
Finally, as the leader of Arsenal, Liu Feng announced the team's goal again in front of everyone, and they actually wanted to achieve the great achievement of four consecutive Champions League championships.
"Beating Paris will be an important step towards our championship path."
