"Inter Milan will stand on top of Europe more than once!" Wenger looked at the media reports, and the always good-tempered French professor also sneered, "This Chinese coach is really as arrogant as the rumors say."
He was currently sitting on the Arsenal bus from his hotel to Highbury, the home ground.
Wenger was fully prepared for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals with Inter Milan. In the two-leg knockout round, the schedule of home and then away was not very favorable. However, because of this,
Wenger is particularly optimistic about the home game. He hopes that the team can achieve a good result at home and lay the foundation for victory in the second round of the away trip!
He has carefully studied Inter Milan's games. Li Ang's team is not a Serie A team in the traditional sense. This team emphasizes possession of the ball and has a smooth offense. Of course, Inter Milan's defense is also very good.
.
Such a team is not easy to play against, but Wenger has confidence in his team.
Compared with this brand-new Inter Milan, his Arsenal is more mature. Wenger has been coaching this team for more than ten years. He is familiar with every one of his players. Arsenal's style of play has also gradually matured over more than ten years and is inherited from the same origin.
.Moreover, Henry, Pires, Ljungberg and other veterans have a very good understanding among each other, which is Arsenal's wealth.
About ten minutes later, the Arsenal bus arrived at Highbury Stadium. Amidst the cheers of the fans, the Arsenal bus slowly drove into the stadium parking lot.
***********
Two minutes later, Inter Milan's bus also arrived. Li Ang got off the bus first. He stood by the door, watching his players come out one by one, and high-fiving the players. Inter Milan was also waiting for this game.
long time.
At this time, a helicopter passed over Highbury Stadium and hovered in the sky.
Looking down from a helicopter, outside Highbury Stadium, countless fans gathered at the entrance of the stadium and were entering the stadium.
"Today's Highbury Stadium will be full. This is the first time in the history of Arsenal that Arsenal has reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League. The Arsenal is looking forward to surpassing Inter Milan and reaching the final!" A blond beauty anchor was broadcasting from a helicopter.
Said the live broadcast.
From time to time, rustling sounds of electricity came from the walkie-talkie on his shoulder. A policeman looked up at the helicopter flying over his head. He then crossed himself on his chest and said, "God bless Arsenal!"
There was a small commotion at the entrance to the stadium. An Arsenal fan without a ticket tried to sneak into the stadium and was arrested by the police.
"Arsenal, come on!" the fan chanted and was taken into a police car.
"Come on, Arsenal!" the policeman murmured as he glanced at his colleagues as they drove away.
"B15, is there anything going on there?" the boss asked over the intercom.
"Everything is normal in B15! It's over!" the policeman said, and then cursed in a low voice, "There are a few Italian drunks, I have to deal with them."
In the square, several Inter Milan fans who were obviously drunk were confronting Arsenal fans. The police ran over and called for support through the intercom.
"Damn Italians!" After working for a while, the policeman cursed in a low voice after forcing these Italian drunkards into the police car.
***********
In the visiting team's locker room at Highbury Stadium, Inter Milan assistant coach Banderas was yelling, "Guys! Hurry up! Hurry up!" He was urging the players to hurry up and go out to warm up.
The players changed their clothes and ran out quickly.
"Pablo! Don't be so nervous." Li Ang said to his assistant, "Be careful of infecting the players!" he joked.
"This is the semi-finals of the Champions League!" Banderas said, unable to conceal his inner nervousness and excitement. Two years ago, he was the assistant coach of Real Madrid's under-17 youth A team. Now, he is already the first-team coach of Inter Milan.
Assistant coach of the team, now on the stage of the Champions League semi-finals.
"Yeah, Champions League semi-finals." Li Ang also smiled. The head coach of Real Madrid's under-17 youth team A, who was kicked out by Real Madrid, was very emotional when he heard his old partner say this. Of course, he was more ambitious.
lofty.
Li Ang then stood on the sidelines and watched the players warm up without saying a word. Before the players had finished warming up, he returned to the visiting team's locker room.
About three minutes later, the players finished warming up and returned to the locker room.
Li Ang looked at the players and made everyone laugh with his first words: "Did the Arsenal people glare at you just now?"
The locker room burst into laughter. They understood why the coach said that. The coach’s wild words before the game caused huge controversy. However, the Inter Milan players felt very energetic and happy! The coach used
Such a declaration showed everyone that he refused the invitation of Real Madrid and wanted to stay in Inter Milan and sprint towards honors with the players. While stabilizing the morale of the military, head coach Li Ang's confidence in the championship also
It made the whole team very excited.
***********
"Arsenal people have been saying that they have created history..." Li Ang continued, "Yes, this is the first time they have reached the Champions League semi-finals. This is indeed history! What about us?"
"We want to get back our glory!" Inter Milan captain Zanetti said.
Inter Milan once stood at the top of Europe during the Inter Milan era, and reached the Champions League semi-finals three years ago. Therefore, their current step is not to create history, but to regain glory!
"That's right!" Li Ang nodded, "The semifinals are of great significance to us. This is the only way for us to return to the final stage!"
"I'm very happy to see that everyone is in good spirits!" Li Ang said with a smile on his face, "My requirements for this game are very simple..."
"Victory!" the players suddenly shouted together.
"Yes, it's victory." Li Ang laughed loudly, "I want nothing but victory. Arsenal is a difficult opponent, and this is their home court. I don't want to say more about this. I believe you all know it.
, What I want to say is that no matter who the opponent is, no matter how powerful they are, they can't stop us from moving forward, and they can't stop us from embracing victory!" He paused for a moment and continued, "It means it may be difficult, but it may be the opposite.
It will be easier than we think, but I ask everyone to have the belief of winning from the first minute of the game, without fear or arrogance, when the whistle blows at the end of the game
, let’s celebrate to the fullest…”
“Only by laughing to the end and persevering until the end can you be qualified to taste the most delicious fruit!”
After another pause, Li Ang looked at his players. He smiled with a confident smile and said to everyone: "Go and tell those Arsenal people who have made history what it means to find the lost glory! Tell them
, we have booked the final! Tell them the difference between the new Serie A champion and the defending Serie A champion."
There was a burst of howls and laughter from the scene, and their head coach did not forget to take a dig at their old league rival Juventus.
