Chapter 356 The contest after nine years

London Airport, Real Madrid superstars arrived to make the airport even more lively, and the media and fans were waiting outside the airport early.

However, these have nothing to do with Arsenal and Li Shou. No matter how star-studded Real Madrid is, they are just opponents and enemies. All Arsenal needs to do is step on the enemy's corpse.

Wenger has been dealing with the media's operations as usual and ignored it, so he also told Arsenal players not to put too much experience on this.

As for Real Madrid, Ancelotti is not a head coach who likes to make mouths. Italian coaches never use mouths. They rely more on their rich tactical theories as support.

With the comfort of the two head coaches, the pre-match media hype did not cause large-scale verbal trouble, and only a few people said a few words in the interview.

Li Shou did not participate in the whole process, but the topic was still inseparable from him. When Ronaldo was interviewed, he asked whether Portugal was confident of breaking Li Shou's goal.

Of course, Ronaldo is not timid about this issue, but he did not belittle Li Shou. The Portuguese said that Li Shou is an excellent goalkeeper, but he is still confident of breaking Li Shou's goal.

Li Shou wanted to defeat Ronaldo and prove his truth, while Ronaldo also wanted to defeat Li Shou to further consolidate his golden ball path. In the current world football world, in addition to Messi, Li Shou was the only threat to Ronaldo.

Although Li Shou has only risen this season, Li Shou's performance is too perverted. It is precisely because of Li Shou's pervert that Arsenal now has the opportunity to compete for the triple-champion.

Also asked about Li Shou’s question. Casillas’ status in the team has further declined this season. Ancelotti started with Navas in the league, while Casillas was in the Champions League. There are rumors that this former patron saint of Real Madrid will leave the team after the end of the season.

Although Casillas' form is no longer at its peak, Casillas was once a super goalkeeper who could compete with Buffon for the world's number one goalkeeper, and was respected by Real Madrid fans as "Saint Igor".

But no matter how outstanding the player is, he cannot withstand the erosion of time, especially goalkeepers like Casillas, who have obviously declined when they get older.

In fact, judging from Li Shou's current performance, it gives people the feeling that he is the same type of goalkeeper as Casillas, but Li Shou has become even more changeable and has become so abnormal that he surpasses ordinary goalkeepers.

The Yangtze River pushes the old waves, which is the eternal truth of the football world. Li Shou defeated Buffon before, and now it is Casillas' turn. The only thing to say is that Casillas is not at his peak.

Although nothing hot happened to both sides before the game, it does not mean that the game is not exciting. With the current situation, both sides must be thinking of going further.

As time comes, Emirates Stadium is full, and players from both sides have warmed up and returned to the locker room, which also indicates that the game is about to begin.

"Real Madrid is very strong." In the home team's locker room, Wenger looked at his disciples.

"We are not bad either. We are the team with the best record in the world football this season, and we have the opportunity to win the triple crown." Wenger will naturally no longer hide it.

Arsenal has won the league championship and the FA Cup has reached the final. The opponent is not strong. As long as Arsenal takes a step forward in the Champions League, there will be a chance to compete for the championship and the second Premier League triple-champion team after Manchester United.

"Guys, the Triple Crown is waving to us" The Triple Crown word is enough to inspire all players.

No one can refuse the honor of the Triple Crown champion, and the Champions League trophy is the yearning for all Arsenal people. Compared with the Champions League that Arsenal has never touched, Real Madrid on the other side is completely different.

Real Madrid achieved perfect results last season, and head coach Ancelotti also won the third Champions League trophy in his coaching career, which also made Ancelotti one of the head coaches with the most Champions League titles.

Soon the players of both sides met in the player channel, and Li Shou also met an old acquaintance, who played together for Monaco last season.

Ancelotti still trusts Rodriguez very much, so Rodriguez has played quite well so far this season, which is worthy of his value.

Although the two were opponents at this moment, they still hugged each other. Although they were not very close when they were in Monaco, they still got along well.

Regarding the hug between Li Shou and Rodriguez, their teammates didn't say anything. The players were opponents on the court, but many of them were friends outside the court, and they were friends with very good relationships.

After the two separated, both sides officially stepped onto the Emirates Stadium under the leadership of the referee. The referee in this game was Nicola Rizzoli from Italy.

Arsenal lineup:

Goalkeeper: Li Shou

Defenders: Monberia, Koscheerney, Mertesacker, Chambers

Midfielder: Coquelin, Ramsey, Cassorla

Forwards: Griezmann, Giroud, Sanchez

Arsenal's strongest lineup, in the last game, in order to allow the main players to rest, Wenger even took the rotation defender in the midfield.

Real Madrid lineup:

Goalkeeper: Casillas

Defenders: Marcelo, Varane, Pepe, Carvajal

Midfielder: Rodriguez, Ramos, Cross, Isco

Forward: Ronaldo, Bale

Compared to Arsenal's regular starter, Real Madrid's starter is a bit different. Benzema missed the game due to injury, so Ancelotti did not choose an orthodox striker.

However, the combination of Ronaldo Gabel is quite intimidating. These two are the first or second in the transfer value version of today's football world, and are the most valuable players in today's football world.

"This is Arsenal and Real Madrid's matchup after nine years." The last time Arsenal and Real Madrid had to catch up to the 2005-06 season, that was the season when they reached the Champions League final.

At that time, the two teams met in the quarterfinals, and Arsenal relied on Henry to ride a single ride at home and struggled to defeat Real Madrid and break into the next round.

Times have changed, but Zidane, who was playing in the game, sat next to Ancelotti. As for the other players, except Casillas, they are no longer there.

"A new generation of new people has replaced old people" but the commentators were still sighing that the game on the court had already begun.

Arsenal, who has the opening ball rights, launched the offensive first, but Arsenal did not rush to cross the half. It was only after the formation of both sides opened and slowly advanced to Arsenal's half.

Arsenal is moving slowly, and Real Madrid is not in a hurry. After all, the game has just begun, and the two teams will face each other again after many years. With Ancelotti's personality, it is impossible to launch an attack at the beginning of the game.
