The poorest Premier League star, the whole network begs for money

Chapter 144

2 month 16 day.

The UEFA Champions League routinely holds a pre-match press conference.

Sitting on the stage, Zidane looked very bright with the reflection of light on his forehead.

First of all, the journalists in London stood up and asked, "Hello, coach, will Hazard start this game? Has he lost weight recently?"

This opening made Qi Zu a little unhappy.

Hazard, who spent Real Madrid's 1.2 million and loves hamburgers, has already made him feel anxious.

It can be said that in the eyes of the outside world, Hazard who came to Real Madrid has been labeled as a "parallel importer".

Real Madrid fans have lost patience with this "Mr. Billionaire" for a long time, and even feel repelled.

However, Zidane still trusts Hazard.After all, Real Madrid's ability to spend a lot of money to buy Hazard must have been approved by head coach Zidane, otherwise Real Madrid's top executive Florentino would not have spent this wrong money.

At this moment, Zidane paused for a while before replying: "We have too many injuries, every club is in the same situation, but I think we are the team with the most injuries. I am worried, I need my players back, they have too many injuries."

"It's for this reason that everyone at Real Madrid needs a healthy Hazard. But I think he'll come out of the woods. It's a difficult moment, considering everything he's been through, but he has a contract and he wants to be there. It's a success here and I hope he can show what he has in the near future."

And this year's Real Madrid is indeed in a bad state. They qualified as second in the group in the Champions League, but they are actually facing a lot of criticism.

In the league, their competition with Barcelona is also very fierce, temporarily ranking first, but the gap is only one point.
The pressure on Qi Zu was not small at all.

Later, another reporter asked why Real Madrid did not spend 7000 million liquidated damages to buy the equation.

Zidane hesitated for a while before saying: "He is indeed one of the most powerful midfielders in the Premier League, but 7000 million euros is not a lot. There are many things to consider. There are many outstanding football players in Europe. We It’s impossible to buy them all.”

Many reporters would like to say that they still remember Real Madrid's famous "Galaxy Battleship" before.

Immediately afterwards, another demon reporter stood up and asked, "Then, who do you think is the most powerful in the Premier League or Wu Lei in La Liga?"

Zidane was silent for a moment.

It seemed a little unexpected that a reporter would ask him such a rare question one day.

Qi Zu used a statement of high emotional intelligence and replied: "They are all the pearls of Eastern football. I think La Liga and the Premier League will become more dynamic because of their addition."

When an Oriental reporter in the audience heard this, his face suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help straightening his back.

It is really rare to hear words of praise for Eastern players from this famous football legend.
Soon, Wenger also accepted interviews with journalists and media.

Asked about the injury in the equation and whether Saka will return to the starting lineup,

Head coach Wenger did not answer directly, which was regarded as a smoke bomb for Real Madrid.Who will play Arsenal's right winger has become a fog.

As for this powerful duel, the outside media are very concerned.

Before the game day came, many media chose this game as the headline news.

"Zidane bluntly said that because of lack of funds, he did not buy the equation in the winter window. Real Madrid once again missed the Oriental."

——"Daily Sports"

"Wenger posed a difficult problem for Zidane. Saka has confirmed his comeback. Who will Arsenal arrange to play the right winger? This will affect the result of the Champions League knockout round."

- "Mirror"

"Facts have proved that the football market in the East is huge, and many football clubs in Europe are already looking for a third player from the East to study abroad."

——"Marca"
.
Also on this day, both sides of the game announced their team rosters.

I saw that both Saka and Equation have entered the Arsenal squad.

The starting lineup will be announced on the day of the game.

In this regard, Zidane decided to still make adjustments on the right, because both Saka and Equation have strong offensive capabilities.

On Arsenal's side, they also made tactical deployments for Real Madrid's ritual three midfielders.

On the day of the game, both sides announced their starting lineups.

Saka did come back, but he just entered the bench. After all, he just came back from injury and needs to find out the state of the game.Equation continues to play the right winger position.

Real Madrid has a 433 formation:

Goalkeeper: Courtois
Backcourt: Ferland Mendy, Militao, Varane, Carvajal.

Midfield: Kroos, Casemiro, Modric.

Frontcourt: Hazard, Benzema, Rodrygo.
.
The domestic commentator for this game is still Zhan Jun. He said happily: "The game is about to start. I believe everyone is looking forward to this game. You know, not long ago, Wu Lei just broke through the gate of Barcelona and created La Liga. New record. If Equation can score a goal against Real Madrid now, it will definitely be in the headlines tomorrow."

Director Zhang smiled and said: "A few days ago, after the video of Wu Lei breaking Barcelona, ​​the hot searches in China were almost all about this news. I saw that many people who haven't watched football knew about it. It can be predicted that If we have more and more overseas players, then there will be more and more young people who like football.”

Zhan Jun agreed: "Football is a collective sport. The more people involved, the better the football will be. I hope this day will come as soon as possible."

The two commentators chatted while watching the pre-match ceremony.

Soon, as soon as the game started, Real Madrid took the lead in launching an offensive.

They turned away from the guests and regarded the Emirates Stadium as their home court.

Modric's ability is getting more and more demonic as he gets older. He organizes with the ball and quickly avoids Arsenal's grab.

Then, he slammed through to find Rodrigo on the right.

Facing Arsenal's defense, Rodrigo with the ball suddenly braked and sent an inverted triangle to the middle.

Kroos ran to the top of the arc, he grabbed the rolling football and chose to volley with all his strength.

The football flew out like a cannonball, scaring the Arsenal players in front of them so they could only block with their backs.

Okay,

Goalkeeper Leno took off quickly and lifted the flying football off the crossbar with the fingertips of his glove.

Arsenal almost got a goal from Kroos in the opening game.

There was an uproar.

Zhan Jun suddenly exclaimed, "As expected of Kroos, his long-range shot is very threatening. Arsenal should pay attention. Although they are at home, Real Madrid in the knockout stage definitely has a strong strength."

Director Zhang agrees and said: "Zidane has a lot of experience in leading teams to play cup games, otherwise he would not have won the Champions League three times in a row. Arsenal must show their full strength today!"

Seeing this, Fang Fang ran back quickly, and first regarded himself as a full-back to help the team's defense.

Real Madrid get a corner kick, Kroos also takes the corner kick.

Fang Fang suddenly remembered something, and quickly reminded Leno loudly, "Be careful with corner kicks."

He remembered that Ke Gaogao seemed to have this free throw technique.

After hearing the reminder from the equation, goalkeeper Leno reacted immediately,

Immediately, Kroos took a corner kick, and the football drew an arc, spinning and falling towards the goal.

Leno quickly retreated quickly, and at the moment the football fell into the goal, he held the football out with a single palm.

Real Madrid almost beat Arsenal's goal.

The opening two combos of Cross immediately brought out their aura.

This undoubtedly gave Arsenal a slap in the face.

Wenger immediately yelled from the sidelines, reminding the disciples on the field not to get dizzy, "Stay focused, now is the Champions League knockout round."

Zhan Jun sighed a little, "Kroos' ability is too good, his style of play is always unpretentious, as precise as a textbook. This is a realm that many midfielders can't reach."

"Indeed, after he retires, I can't think of anyone who will take over Real Madrid's position," Director Zhang agreed.

Equation also quickly reminded his teammates that this is the knockout round of the Champions League and must not be taken lightly.

Fortunately, after a bit of turbulence in the opening game, Arsenal quickly snatched the ball back.

However, Real Madrid's attack was also very intense, and did not give Arsenal time to organize an attack.

No.15 minutes,
Real Madrid takes another corner on the right,
Benzema successfully competed for the top 7 meters before the point, and goalkeeper Leno once again rejected Real Madrid's attack.

No. In the 18th minute, Thomas cut off Rodrigo in the middle and passed the ball to Foss.

The teenager Foss did not distribute the ball to the equation on the right, but dribbled and broke through the middle.

In response, Casemiro charged fiercely from the side.

Foss pushed the football away, and after resisting Casemiro's impact, he bit the bullet and took a long shot with his right foot.

The football flew into the air, with a slight arc, and hit the crossbar with a bang.

The Arsenal fans suddenly exclaimed, it was only a little bit, and Fosse could score the first goal of his career in the Champions League!
"Almost, the Arsenal teenager almost became famous with one goal! Their opponent today is Real Madrid." Zhan Jun couldn't help but marvel, "Arsenal's youth training camp is really full of talents. Foss has only started two games, and he has the style of a general." , this is really rare. It reminds me of the equation that just debuted last year."

Director Zhang hesitated for a moment before saying: "However, Fang Fang's feet are very good. The appearance of Foss should be no problem for him. Fang Fang still has the status of captain."

"Not good, Real Madrid played a quick counterattack!"

Zhan Jun still wanted to continue this topic, but who knows, the football bounced off the crossbar and came to Millitang's feet.

Foss was still a little regretful that he missed the goal, and he was the closest to Militao. Seeing Militao taking the ball, he went up to interfere with it symbolically.

However, Militao avoided the interference of Foss in one pass, and then he made a long pass to find Hazard on the left side of the frontcourt.

Although Hazard was addicted to Hamburg in Madrid and couldn't extricate himself, his game reading ability is still online.
With a pocket on the outside of his right foot, the football drew an oblique arc and found his teammate in the middle of the penalty area.

This is Benzema sprinting up behind Saliba and Gabriel,

He snatched the spot where the cross landed and kicked a push shot.

The football went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal!

Leno made a quick save, but it was too late and the ball went through his armpit and into the goal.

Real Madrid lead away by one goal!
The football stopped in the goal, Leno was so angry that he hammered the turf, but he couldn't save the ball
Countless Arsenal fans were speechless in the stands,

They actually conceded a goal first at home?
"Arsenal is careless!" Zhan Jun watched the replay of the live broadcast and sighed, "Although Foss kicked a high-quality long shot, he didn't interfere with Militao in the first place, which caused Arsenal to be beaten by Real Madrid. Fight back quickly."

"Azar's cross did a good job this time, helping Benzema score!"

Director Zhang reminded: "Arsenal is in danger. They concede a goal at home. In the next round, they have to score two goals in the away game."

Zhan Jun added: "The most recent match between the two teams was in the 2006 UEFA Champions League. It was also in the 1/8 knockout round. Arsenal lost to Real Madrid with a draw and a loss in the two rounds. Judging from the record of the match, Arsenal Na is clearly the underdog."

After Benzema scored a goal, he and his Real Madrid teammates happily went to the sidelines to celebrate.

They were able to score the first goal in the away game, which is undoubtedly a fantastic start.

The home fans were naturally upset and immediately booed the Real Madrid people.

"Burger King hurry back and cheat! You are no longer suitable for football"

"The championship belongs to Barcelona, ​​you can only line up to welcome them!"

"Benzema, you will never be better than Ronaldo—"
.
"Strengthen the confrontation, speed up your feet!"

Wenger couldn't stay on the sidelines anymore, and now it's only No. 20 minutes, and he has already begun to direct the players on the field.

And Real Madrid's three midfielders have solid skills and rich experience.The older you get, the more demonic you are, it's not a joke.

It is difficult for Arsenal's midfielders Foss and Ronaldo to take advantage of the other three,
At most, Thomas can withstand the pressure in the backcourt.

Although Fosse and Ronaldo were very active in their attack, the midfielder of the third ceremony was not in a hurry or slow, and they passed each other in the midfield, and rarely made mistakes.

This is using the pass to consume Arsenal's energy.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Equation immediately withdrew to support the defense.

However, when he came back, he found that he seemed to be walking around.
After Wenger saw the situation on the field, he and Arteta fell into thinking together, and they both seemed to feel very difficult
Finally, Thomas cooperated with Ben White to grab the ball at Modric's feet, and Arsenal was about to fight Real Madrid's counterattack.

However, Casemiro predicted the passing path, he broke the football, and the offense and defense were switched again!
There was a sigh in the stadium, and I saw that Real Madrid fought back again.

Casemiro splits the ball to the right,
Rodrigo chose to cross, and Benzema succeeded in the top of the middle.
But the football flew off the crossbar.

In a burst of exclamation, Benzema covered his beard,
He came close to scoring twice in the first half
