Chapter 558 Arrival in London

Chen Yu has passed the age of impulsive and competitive. He has been in Serie A for five years and has dealt with the media once or twice, but it is impossible to show weakness before such a battle. It is difficult for a team without morale to win. Even if he knows that the media deliberately provokes saliva, he must respond.

Even though the training was so tense, Chen Yu accepted an interview with reporters after the training and fired back at Henry and Wenger during the interview.

"Fiorentina is not my own team. The reporters and the media say this to me is encouraged by me, but I cannot believe it, and my teammates will not believe it. Football is a team sport, and individuals must play a role in the team. I can have the honors I am now because I rely on a united and combat-oriented team.

Henry is a great player. I think he has the ability to win the Golden Ball Award. Arsenal has many big-name stars. His overall strength is better than us, but this does not mean that we will lose to them in this game. Many times, in such an important game, luck and fighting spirit will play a big role, and we have never lacked this.

Many people like to compare the stars. In fact, as Henry said, we are not the same type of striker. It doesn’t make sense to compare who is more capable of. Judging from the results he has made, Henry is stronger than me and has a higher status in the world football world than me. He has won the World Cup, European Cup, and Premier League championship, and I have never achieved any important results. Now, I am working hard and hoping to win the Champions League, which is something Henry has never obtained.

Speaking of this, Chen Yu smirked. He deliberately mentioned the Champions League championship to stimulate Henry and Arsenal's players. For this Premier League giant, the Champions League is their biggest pain. Chen Yu wants to stimulate their nerves and make them lose a normal heart. For a team like Arsenal, which is known for its speed and precision, losing calm will make them unable to perform at their own level.

Italian teams have always been known for their good tactics and have also shown strong teamwork in battles of words. Shortly after Chen Yu was interviewed, Tony, who may have missed the first leg of the Champions League semi-final due to injury, also accepted an interview with reporters. In the interview, Tony said: "Only the four teams in the Champions League semi-finals, only we and Arsenal have never won the Champions League championship. Now both of our teams have hopes to reach the finals. I think our hope is a little bigger, because we have achieved the goal and there is no pressure in the subsequent games. Arsenal has achieved great success in the league over the years. What they lack is a Champions League champion. I think the burden on their shoulders and psychological pressure must be great. Judging from Arsenal's performance in these seasons, they are not a team that can withstand pressure. I think as long as the Gunners can't perform at their own level, our chances will come."

In the Fiorentina team, the only one who can be on the same level as Chen Yu, and the two are also relatively close in terms of goals. When playing against Fiorentina, because Fiorentina has two explosive points, the opponent's defense is often either Chen Yu scores or Tony scores, and eventually loses the game. Now Tony cannot participate in the game due to injury, so the reporters will naturally ask who can replace him to help Chen Yu.

Tony disagreed with this issue. He said: "Fiorentina has no worries about no goals. Arsenal cannot defend against Chen Yu. Even if they can defend against Chen Yu, we also have Dinatale and Pazini. They all have the ability to break through any team goal. Fiorentina's ability to get to where they are today is not entirely due to Chen. We are a whole. Everyone has played a huge role, but Chen has made greater contributions."

When the reporter asked which one is stronger, Tony did not follow the crowd. He said with certainty that Chen Yu is the strongest forward he has ever seen. Although Henry is very outstanding, he still cannot compare with Chen Yu. Of course, Tony said that because Chen Yu is his teammate. Tony and Chen Yu have been partnering with him for almost a year. He was really shocked by Chen Yu's omnipotence and efficiency. Tony is not young anymore and has seen many talented forwards. He has never seen Chen Yu like this.

The team immediately set off to play in London. Before leaving, Florence head coach Plandley called on fans to go to the scene to cheer for the players. He said: "The game against Arsenal is one of the most important games of Fiorentina this season. Arsenal Trinity has a strong team. They have many outstanding players, their style has been formed, their style has been consistent, and they have excellent coaches like Wenger. The players will definitely encounter great trouble in London. Without your support, we will be very sad. I hope everyone can go to the scene to support us. When we are with you, we will have endless motivation."

Regarding the goal of this game, Plandelli was very low-key. He said: "This is a two-leg game. Facing such a strong opponent, our goal is very pragmatic. This is also our usual principle in the knockout round of two-legs. We can draw, and a small loss is not unacceptable. However, we need to have a away goal so that we will not have psychological pressure when we return to the home court."

Plandelli believes that the biggest trouble Fiorentina is Tony's absence. "It's difficult for Tony to come back before the game. He has not yet practiced with the team. Without Tony's game, Chen Yu will be under greater pressure because his opponents will focus on his defense alone. However, I believe that even if Tony doesn't play, someone can help Chen Yu. Pazini is a good candidate. We can also play 44. We have not played this formation. We have this experience. No matter what formation we play, I believe we can achieve our goals in London."

Although Plandelli's dialect is relatively low-key, it immediately means different under the media processing, especially after Plandelli's last words, after being modified by British reporters, although they are basically still Plandelli's words, their meanings are completely different.

"...Tony was injured, we still have Chen... There are many players who can help Chen, and our playing style is also very flexible. Even when playing away games, we are not afraid of Arsenal at all. We can achieve our goals. We have experience in eliminating our opponents. Arsenal is just a paper tiger..."

Such random speculation of Plandelli's idea and provocative report made Arsenal players and fans very angry. In their opinion, they are the stronger side and have the advantage of home. If they don't beat their opponents at home, they will fail. Fiorentina dares to be so rampant, which really makes the Gunners' players and fans feel extremely angry and wish the game will come soon. They can teach Fiorentina some lessons丨Let them retreat and give up the unrealistic idea of ​​entering the finals and winning the championship.

Due to fame and record and background, the match between Fiorentina and Arsenal was a game with less impact in the two semi-finals. The focus of media reports was the match between Barcelona and Milan a day in advance. However, for the fans of the Gunners and Purple Lily, another game that was not as exciting as their team. As early as a week ago, fans of the two teams had a fierce quarrel online. Various social websites and forums were their battlefields. Fans of both sides showed their magical powers on the battlefield and had played thousands of games for their teams. Such a imagination is definitely not as enjoyable as watching the scene. With the interaction and confrontation between the fans of both sides on the Internet, they have stronger awareness of actively participating in the game. Although Arsenal only gave 5,000 tickets to Fiorentina, at least tens of thousands of Fiorentina fans are preparing to cross-sea expeditions and go to London to support their teams.

On Monday, 18 players and coach Yiyu, the club staff, flew away from Florence to London, England, and began their semi-final journey.

About three hours later, the plane landed at London Heathrow International Airport.

At the beginning of the flight, under the siege of thousands of fans who picked up the plane, hostile fans and reporters, the Fiorentine players signed autographs and took photos of the fans while accepting interviews from reporters.

Most of the players in Fiorentina have come to England for the first time, but they know the excellence of football hooligans and gangsters in British tabloids. Plandelli's interview speech can be deleted and modified. What else can they not do, so the players are very cautious when accepting interviews.

Chen Yu said: "It is an unparalleled feeling to be able to play against a great opponent in a great city. I hope we can play at our best and achieve our goals."

The team's midfielder core, Feore, said: "Arsenal's midfield is very strong, which is the basis for them to play smooth games, but our defense is very good, and it is not easy for Arsenal to win us.

The team's backbone team deputy Dainelli admitted that the pressure on the defense is greater than that of the forward, because the forwards of Fiorentina have Chen Yu, the perverted goal-scoring maniac who averages one goal per game is not worried about goals, but Arsenal's team offense can be said to be mercury, and the defense line led by Dainelli will encounter the strongest challenge in these seasons.

Head coach Plandley thanked his fans more. He said that the fans who came were beyond his imagination and that the enthusiasm of the fans would be unforgettable for his life. He said that Fiorentina will not disappoint the fans, and they will definitely play a great game and be fully prepared for entering Paris.

There were also many Gunners fans coming to the airport, with at least one or two hundred people, but Gunners fans were still more regular and rational in the Premier League. They did not attack the players and fans of Fiorentina, but gave Fiorentina some boos, shouted a few slogans to beat Fiorentina and left.

After dealing with the fans and reporters, the players in Fiorentina left the airport and arrived at the Sheraton Hotel near Arsenal's home court, Highbury Stadium, and began to adapt to the stadium and prepare for a battle with the Gunners the day after tomorrow.
