""    Chapter 596: The Battle of Revenge (please vote for monthly votes!)

On February 9, in the 26th round of the Premier League, Arsenal went to the Stadium of Light to play against Sunderland.

On February 20, in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Arsenal rushed to Milan City to challenge AC Milan away.

These two games are eleven days apart.

After returning from the Light Stadium, Van Persie, Willsheer and other players left the Kearney training base and headed to the training grounds of their respective national teams. Next, there are two World Cup qualifiers waiting for them.

After the international players left the team one after another, not many people stayed at the Arsenal training base.

However, despite this, Wenger did not stumble like that time, but instead stayed at the training base, transferred the youth team players to the first team, gathered together 22 people, and continued to practice the team's tactics.

The professor attached great importance to the next game against AC Milan.

When I encountered AC Milan in the first leg of last year, no one expected that Arsenal would lose so thoroughly, and he lost 0:4 as soon as he lost, and directly lost hope of qualifying.

The professor did not expect such a cruel result.

This was a heavy blow to him.

Since he started coaching Arsenal in 1996, the professor has been in the arsenal for 16 years. In the past 16 years, Wenger has worked hard to label this Premier League giant with his own mark, leading the team to achieve good results, enjoying the love of hundreds of millions of fans, and savoring all kinds of honors. It can be said to be infinitely glorious and honorable.

However, the professor has one regret, that is, the Champions League.

After coaching the Gunners for 16 years, the professor went from being a notorious uncle to a world-renowned coach now. He led the Gunners to various championships, and even won the Premier League championship with a record unbeaten record.

However, he has never won the Champions League.

As the champion coach of the Premier League, Wenger and Manchester United's Ferguson were very good at it, no matter how good or bad it was.

However, Ferguson won the European Champions League, and he led Manchester United to the top of Europe twice alone.

And Wenger never once.

Therefore, although Wenger's coaching level may not be weaker than Sir Freud, he is much behind Sir Freud in terms of personal honor.

Now, when Wenger and Ferguson are active in the Premier League, people know that there is a pair of coaches in the Premier League, namely Sir Ferguson and Professor.

But if ten years, twenty years, or thirty years later, besides the Gunners fans, anyone else will remember the Wenger who was once as famous as Ferguson?

Just as most fans would know the "football emperor" Beckenbauer, but not everyone would know the prolific shooter Gad Muller who was at that time, history will always remember the brightest names.

If the professor stays away from the championship for a long time and cannot win a Champions League trophy, sooner or later he will be forgotten by history.

As a world-class coach, lacking the proof of the Champions League championship is the eternal regret in Wenger's heart.

Therefore, the professor dreamed of the European Champions League champions, and he even dreamed of winning this championship trophy.

In the 2008-09 season, he lost to Manchester United and stopped in the semi-finals; in the 2005-06 season, he lost to Barcelona and missed the championship. This is the best record achieved by the Gunners in the Champions League.

In recent years, the Gunners have not even been able to get through the top 16. Last year, they lost 0:4 in the first round. This result hurts the professor very much.

This year, he spent a huge amount of money to introduce Chu Jiang and forced Van Persie to make a breakthrough in the Champions League.

Therefore, Wenger attaches great importance to this round of 16 games and this knockout match against AC Milan.

Even though the main players went to the national team for training, Wenger did not give the remaining players a holiday. Instead, he urged them to train as usual every day, making the most meticulous and full preparations for the upcoming battle.

Wenger doesn't want the tragedy of last year to happen again, not at all.

As the Champions League match date approaches, sports media from all over the country will focus on the upcoming Champions League quarterfinals.

There are two focus games in this round of knockout matches, one is Chelsea playing at home against the Galaxy battleship Real Madrid; the other is the Gunners heading to San Siro to challenge the Ross and Blacks.

Before the competition was approaching, almost all the media focused on these two games.

Whether it is Mourinho's return to Stamford Bridge or the Gunners' revenge battle, they all have a lot of highlights and deserve fans' attention.

Since AC Milan is the only team that still participates in the Champions League this season, the Italian media is almost one-sidedly supporting AC Milan.

In media and newspapers, celebrities from all walks of life are giving advice to the Ross and Blacks, analyzing Arsenal's weaknesses, and cheering AC Milan.

"The defeated general is not worthy of courage."

Media encouraged AC Milan to defeat Arsenal at home, just like last year, to eliminate the Gunners in one game.

Former Milan players and current Milan players have also expressed their determination to the fans in the media, or launched psychological warfare, putting pressure on the Gunners, making it very lively.

However, the gunman remained unmoved by the noise in Italy.

Players such as Van Persie, Chu Jiang avoided the reporter's interview, and head coach Wenger said something to the media without any pain.

This time, when the war was approaching, the gunmen seemed very low-key.

It’s not that I don’t want to fight back, but that there is no need for this.

The humiliation of the last 0:4 defeat was kept in mind in the hearts of every gunman. They no longer need external stimulation to inspire their fighting spirit.

The battle of revenge does not require mobilization, just fight! Fight! Fight!

At the Kearney training base, every player is working very hard. The humiliation given to them by their opponents, this time, they have to wash the football field, and they want everyone to see clearly: "We gunmen are all bloody men; we gunmen are not fish-bottoms!"

This will be a war of justice for the Gunners.

No one will give up before the game!

On February 19, from London to Milan, Chu Jiang and his teammates came to the away game one day in advance to prepare for this quarter-final match against AC Milan.

In two-round knockout matches, the requirement for away games is generally to score as many away goals as possible under the premise of losing fewer goals.

Last season, Arsenal played offensive football in San Siro, but was massacred by the Italians. This time, will they choose a more stable defensive counterattack or continue their offensive football?

Before the opening, many people were concerned about this issue.

Offense often means risks. Especially when attacking away, the risks will increase exponentially.

Last time, the Gunners lost a lot; this time, they probably won't repeat such an attack again, right?

Many people hold this view.

They believe that since the Gunners lost a 0:4 here last season, this season, they should be honest in the first leg of the game, and then find a way to attack when they return to home.

Including Milan coach Allegri, he also held the same view.

Since Arsenal lost so badly in the first leg last season and played well in the second leg, they must have made no contributions in the first leg this season, but they have no mistakes. When they return to home court, they will launch a large counterattack.

Will the Gunners make it as they expected?

The answer is yes, no!

At the beginning of the game, the Gunners let the Milanese see their determination to attack.

Chujiang, Santos, Vermalen, Koscheerny, Sanya, Alexander Song, Willsher, Arteta, Podolski, Walcott, Van Persie.

Arsenal has lineup with the strongest attack power at this stage and is preparing to fight AC Milan to the death away game!

On the team's bench, Amunia, Gibbs, Mudesak, Diaby, Chamberlain, Rosici, and Giroud were also on standby. Once the team needed it, they could play at any time and compete with their opponents with a bayonet.

Although Jenkinson, Juru, Gervinho, Ramsey and other players missed the focus battle, they still all appeared in the stands, and fans who turned into Gunners sang Arsenal's team songs with the fans to cheer for their teammates.

The battle of revenge, unite!

"the_arsenal...come_on_you_arsenal...the_arsenal! (Come on, Arsenal...Arsenal!)"

More than a thousand Gunners fans who went on the team raised their red and white scarves high in the northern stands of San Siro.

"You guys will be the best!"

They played slogans and motivated their team.

“the_champions!”

With the passionate Champions League theme song melody, AC Milan and Arsenal players made their debut.

AC Milan, who plays at home, is still wearing their traditional red and black sword shirts. Arsenal, who is visiting away, is wearing their new purple and black away uniforms this season.

There was once a fan joke that the Gunners' away jersey was designed to imitate eggplant.

No matter whether he is an eggplant or not, as long as he can win the game, it doesn’t matter even if he imitates watermelon!

The main whistle for this Champions League focus game is Portuguese referee Pronca. In the just-passed European Cup, it was this Portuguese famous whistle who enforced the finals between Italy and Spain.

With Pronka's whistle, the match between Arsenal and AC Milan officially began.

In this away game, Arsenal sent an offensive 433.

From the first minute of the game, their two full-backs, Santos and Sanya, stepped forward like wingers, turning the team's formation into 253, or 280!

Except Chu Jiang, Colcherny and Vermullen, the rest of the Gunners all pushed forward and hoarded in the midfield to the opponent's penalty area.

Still a counterattack!

Still in front court possession!

Even if it is away and even if it has suffered a crushing defeat here, the Gunners will never lose the courage to attack.

Gorgeous Gunners are coming, the Red and Black Legion, are you ready to fight against each other?
