"Yes, we came here early just to get a wonderful away game. We knew that the game against Arsenal would be difficult, just like the game against Inter Milan in the past. However, since we eliminated Inter Milan
, so we also have the ability to beat Arsenal.
We have a great chance, it's 11 against 11, we haven't failed in the last three years in English teams and of course Henry and Shaw have the quality to make the difference, both of them are great
As a player, Henry is experienced and has unparalleled talent.
The same goes for Xiao. Our whole team has seen his videos and introductions. He is more energetic, like a lion, and can change the atmosphere on the court. They will be our biggest problem.
But none of this is insurmountable. We have adapted to the different stadiums in England, and Highbury is more suitable for us to play our own game. Attacking is still our choice."
When Villarreal's captain Riquelme and his team members came to London, he was interviewed by Sala immediately and specifically praised Henry and Xiao Ge, thinking that they could influence the situation of the battle. However,
In the end, the confidence remains.
"Thierry, Highbury will say goodbye to European competitions the day after tomorrow. Can you talk about your feelings?" With the arrival of Villarreal, the atmosphere of the European war is getting stronger and stronger. Reuters No.
Henry was interviewed immediately, and their eyes naturally fell on Highbury's last European game.
“Yes, the day after tomorrow Highbury will say goodbye to the European war, but I know that all the memories of the past will live on and it will become a site for apartments and public facilities.
But if you could come back here again and sit there quietly and think about some good memories from the past, it would be so wonderful.
It's clear that the last European game at Highbury will be exciting. I thought the atmosphere was really good against Juventus and Real Madrid.
I hope this game will be no different. It's our last performance at Highbury and it will make all the difference. I hope my teammates and I give it our all and it's dedicated to this great stadium.
The best farewell gift to Europe.”
As the King of Highbury and the last captain of Highbury Stadium, Henry is full of fighting spirit for the upcoming game against Villarreal, and this is also the last game that the King of Highbury will play at Highbury.
There was a European war, so he also issued a victory order.
Not only Henry, but as the European war approaches, almost all members of the Arsenal club have been asked this question.
"Yes, it is about to end. Highbury is a place that carries countless honors. It is full of magic. For this game, we are full of desire than any previous Champions League game. Everything seems to be written.
The scenario is that we will eliminate Villarreal and go to France and then come back here with the final glory."
When Van Persie was interviewed by the Daily Mail, he directly stated that he would bring the Big Ear Cup back here to add the final honor.
When Wenger was interviewed on the official website, he first looked forward to the future and finally issued a supervising order.
"In two days, Highbury's European competition history will come to an end. This is a sad thing, but in the future we will have more fans able to enter our home ground to watch our boys compete in the European competition.
This is a remarkable progress, and everything will move towards a new era.
The Highbury game the day after tomorrow will be the perfect ending to this great stadium, and we will do our best to bring fans a game worthy of its glory."
"Xiao, Villarreal came to London two days early. They have already issued a challenge. Villarreal has created many miracles this season. They defeated Manchester United and eliminated Inter Milan. Are you worried?"
After Sara finished interviewing Riquelme, Xiao Ge was also called out by this girl. Xiao Ge originally planned to ignore her, but was frightened out by her saying, "Then I'll go to your house to find you."
"No, if it were in Spain, I would be worried about the atmosphere at their home court, but this is Highbury, and the significance of tomorrow's game is that we will not allow us to make mistakes, and we also eliminated Real Madrid, who are stronger than them here."
Xiao Ge had to use the time after training to deal with Sara, speaking officially, staring hard at Sara's charming face.
"Villarreal is also a team that is good at passing and attacking, and although Arsenal is a team that is good at possession of the ball in the Premier League, Arsenal currently does not have an advantage in this aspect, and in the past three years,
They have a nine-match unbeaten streak against English teams, so where do you think Arsenal will win?"
Sarah raised her eyes at Xiao Ge proudly, and then asked her doubts.
Sala has seen many La Liga teams' ball-control and passing games, and Villarreal is one of the best. They are younger than Real Madrid and have enough hard work. Arsenal's advantage in passing, cutting and cooperating is fundamental.
The trip couldn't happen right in front of them, so Sara felt that Arsenal might be in big trouble, and was a little curious about where this man's confidence came from.
"Experience, the experience of our entire team, I believe that the boss can give the most suitable tactics, and the captain knows this kind of game better than them. Besides, I believe that this home game is the most special, and we will not lose.
Reason." Xiao Ge quickly gave his answer.
"Riquelme admires you very much. How do you evaluate him?"
"A attacking midfielder whose talent can be compared with Zidane, but we have a better player, Cesc." Xiao Ge quickly commented, but Riquelme has a very problematic character, so Xiao Ge again
Added a sentence.
"Well, thank you for accepting our interview. Would you like to have a drink?" "A treat?"..."
There were comments from all walks of life, and soon, the outside world focused on Bergkamp.
"Yes, this is my last season. The boss knows that I have communicated with him and I have made up my mind. I will bid farewell to my football career with this great stadium, so I hope to bring glory to my career."
The glory of exiting here, I am very much looking forward to tomorrow’s game, and I don’t want to leave any regrets.
As for my replacement, Robin will be the best candidate. As for Xiao, he has surpassed my peak period. I will not be able to achieve his achievements this season. No matter who it is, no one can give him an accurate answer.
template."
Before the game, Bergkamp officially announced his retirement in an interview with Arsenal's official website, which completely shocked everyone.
"Dennis: This is my last season" - "Daily Mail"
"Arsenal bids farewell to two fortunes: Dennis, Highbury" - "Mirror"
"Farewell Season" - The Guardian
"Highbury, the last home European performance of a generation of artistic masters" - "The Times"
"The last glory of the Netherlands in the 1990s has come to an end" - Dutch "Telegraph"
"The Departure of Two Generations of Art Masters"——"Marca"
"This is the second time he has left us, but this time it is so sad" - "Gazzetta dello Sport"
"Glorious Curtain Call" - "L'Equipe"
~~~
When Bergkamp announced his retirement, the entire European football world was shocked. Every major sports newspaper published the news on the front page, and those fans in the 1960s and 1970s also realized their old age, because
The two masters of football art they once pursued - Zidane and Bergkamp - both left after this season.
"He finally made this decision. In fact, we have discussed this issue in the past. I told him: You can play for a few more years. Even if you are not at Arsenal, you can go elsewhere. But he rejected my suggestion.
, it’s a pity, he is a great genius full of infinite creativity.”
When Dutch coach Van Basten received the exact news, he said with great regret in an interview with the Dutch media.
"Yes, I told him that he could still play for a few more years, but he thought that his physical fitness and condition could not last for one season, and he did not want to become a spectator in the final moments, so he refused, which is a pity.
Denis is a special person. He has been at Arsenal as long as me and has helped us achieve a series of glory. A talented player cannot be copied. He combines wisdom and technology. Intelligence allows him to create opportunities, while technology allows him to create opportunities.
He seizes these opportunities and that's what makes him special.
Robin, maybe in the future, but we can't replace him now. It's a pity that we lost a great player, but this is football, you can't ride on the field your whole life.
Xiao, he is a player who has created another style. His technique, consciousness, body and vision have all reached a very high level. He is more like Dennis in his peak period, but his body and speed are better than Dennis. This is
Born.”
When Wenger was interviewed by the Daily Mail and talked about Bergkamp, he seemed very regretful and helpless. When it came to Robin Van Persie, although Wenger thought highly of him, at this stage he did not think he could fully
To replace Bergkamp, as for Xiao Ge, he did not want to limit Xiao Ge's future achievements all at once.
"I have always considered Dennis Bergkamp to be my best strike partner and every striker's dream partner.
The most valuable thing on the court is team awareness, which is why I admire Dennis and he has always done this. He is the best guy I have ever played with.
On the field, with some people, you don't need words to express, you just look at them - that's what happened with Dennis and me.
Whether you're on the field, sitting on the bench or in front of the TV, you'll find that Dennis can destroy a team with one pass. It's amazing to me. He can do it from anywhere on the field.
It's a pity that I can no longer cooperate with him next season, but he will still be with us and help us, just like he guided Xiao and Robin, and Dennis was of great help to their progress.
...
Xiao is Xiao and Dennis is Dennis. They are different. Comparing them together would be unfair to them. Xiao is only eighteen years old and his personal performance is great. In terms of style, he is very similar to super players like Ronnie.
Forward, but his passing is also very good, depending on his position.
And Dennis represents glory. He is the best passer among the forwards. He is the commander of the forward line and has a better team awareness than all of us. He is even Zidane on the forward line. His style is elegant and gorgeous. The only thing that is the same.
Xiao will also be a successful person."
When Henry talked about Bergkamp, he expressed more admiration and respect. When a reporter from Sky Sports asked about the comparison between Xiao Ge and Bergkamp, Henry did not think the two were the same at all.
"Kakakakakaka"
When Xiao Ge came to Highbury, there was a huge crowd waiting to watch the game. Reporters digging for news immediately swarmed him.
"Xiao, what do you think of Dennis' retirement?"
"Xiao, may I ask whether Arsenal will be affected in the next game because of him?"
"Xiao, may I ask about Henry's evaluation of Dennis, do you agree?"
~~~~~
Xiao Ge was surrounded by these reporters and was not busy going in at this time. Although he knew that Bergkamp would leave this season, when he got the exact news, Xiao Ge still felt extremely lost and reluctant. After all, he was still
It failed to change his mind. Perhaps Arsenal's success this season has given him a feeling of retirement after success.
Xiao Ge was originally very worried about being interviewed, but this time he took the initiative to speak.
"We all know that Dennis wants to retire, but we can't change him. It's really a pity. He is an asset to our team and has given us a lot of help. The whole team doesn't want him to leave so early.
But now that he has made a decision, we respect him, and the evaluation of the captain is not exaggerated at all. Only those who have worked with him know his greatness. I am very sure of this. He is my mentor on the court.
one.
In this game and the following games, we will fight for him, and we cannot lose, maybe we can get him to rekindle his ambition."
After saying this, Xiao Ge quickly entered Highbury. At this time, the whole of Highbury began to pour in. Most of them were wearing the No. 10 orange jersey, which is exclusive to Bergkamp.
...
"Yolan, Xiao once again stated that he will not consider the World Cup before the end of the season. Will you consider Xiao?"
When Eriksen showed up for Arsenal's Champions League match against Villarreal, he was immediately blocked by reporters from The Times.
"Of course, we will not give up any opportunity to inspect the players. Everything depends on the needs of the World Cup. I can't give any definite news at this time. Xiao is a special one. Everything depends on him."
Eriksson nodded. At this time, he could neither force Xiao Ge to join the England team, nor could he announce at once that he would not recruit Xiao Ge. He could only cooperate with Xiao Ge and delay it as much as possible. However, could he have any confidence in recruiting Xiao Ge?
He didn't have much hope of being on the list. Rather than saying that he came to inspect Xiao Ge, it would be better to say that he came to see Bergkamp just to watch a Champions League game.
After Xiao Ge once again reiterated his thoughts in an exclusive interview, the controversy over his refusal to participate in the World Cup has temporarily subsided. Although the calls for him to participate in the World Cup are still high, they are not so crazy. The whole of Europe is shocked. After all, various opinions have been expressed during this period.
The media and readers quickly became numb.
Moreover, there has been a lot of news during this period, the most sensational of which is the news that Bergkamp is retiring, so Xiao Ge can finally settle down for a few days.
Of course, many of them said that Xiao Ge was too arrogant and was simply putting on a show, but it was quickly overshadowed by the news about Bergkamp, and the arrival of the Champions League completely diverted the attention of those people.
When Arsenal entered the semi-finals of the Champions League, Highbury was already hard to find. Arsenal will launch a new stadium next season. Highbury officially bid farewell to European football, so it will be Highbury's last European game.
, it was already overcrowded at this time.
The news that Bergkamp will retire after the season has aroused the emotions of all Arsenal fans. Those who can come to Highbury do their best to come. As the game time approaches, the entire Highbury
The world has turned orange, with Bergkamp's posters completely covering Highbury.
They wanted to turn today into a special day to commemorate Dennis, and wave after wave of chants filled Highbury.
And those who didn’t have tickets would not go home to watch. They all gathered in front of the big screen outside the stadium, waiting for the game to start. The crowds were loud and dense, turning the square outside Highbury into a mixture of orange and purple.
of ocean.
"Hoo ho ho ho, Highbury, Highbury - the great stadium, the temple of glory, the eternal temple of Arsenal!
Welcome to Highbury, the holy place of heroes! Fans! Tell them your ambition to defend! Tell our heroes your determination to support!"
"Hoo!" "Hoo!!" "Hoo!!!" "Hoo!!!" "Hoo!!!!!" ~~~~~
With Senk's roars, Highbury roared like a beast, and all the fans gave out the deepest and most profound shouts, waiting for their hero and the final catharsis.
"Dennis!" "Huhuhuhu" "Dennis, I love you!" "Don't go, Dennis!" "My eternal ice prince!" "Papa papa pa"~~~~~
And when Bergkamp was warming up on the sidelines, the whole Highbury was boiling, and the sound was like thunder, which lasted for a long time. And when Bergkamp sent applause to the stands, the entire stadium also responded.
"Did you see it, man?" Henry asked sighingly, standing next to Bergkamp.
"Yes, this is Highbury. I deserve this honor, don't I." Bergkamp sighed and asked Henry in return.
