Chapter 179 The Champions League semi-finals begin

The week flew by.

Arsenal arrived in Liverpool City one day early. They conducted closed training here, and no media could interview them during this period.

Since this is the semi-finals of the Champions League, both teams even declined official interview invitations. Obviously, they are maintaining absolute concentration for this game.

On May 1, Liverpool began to receive a large influx of fans.

The Champions League has reached the semi-finals, and the heat has begun to rise in a straight line.

It is different from the previous quarter-finals and quarter-finals.

This is the Champions League semifinals!

A powerful clash between four of Europe's best teams.

Any game is extremely exciting, and fans cannot let go of this opportunity.

There are even many fans who travel thousands of miles to come to the game venue to cheer for their favorite team.

In this atmosphere, the entire city of Liverpool became extremely lively.

The whole city was filled with Liverpool and Arsenal fans.

They walked through the streets and cheered loudly for the home team.

They shouted from time to time, and they used singing, cheering, whistles and other sounds to show their loyalty.

The game is in the evening, but throughout the day, the atmosphere of the entire city is still full of excitement, tension, excitement, fanaticism and other emotions.

And when night falls.

When the neon lights flashed, the entire Anfield stadium was brightly lit, but when the surrounding cheers poured out like a tide, everyone understood that the Champions League semi-finals were about to begin.

Reporter teams and commentary teams from various countries also arrived at Anfield.

They will provide fans with immersive commentary here.

The entire Anfield is like a pot of boiling water.

In the famous KOP stands, Liverpool's fanatical fans couldn't help but cheer for the home team.

The huge flag was flying up and down, and while waving confetti, the earth-shattering cheers made people feel numb.

"This is the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in the 2018/2019 season, Liverpool's home game against Arsenal!"

"We will be at Anfield, and we will give fans the most immersive game experience on site!"

Andy Gray held the microphone to his mouth, and he was yelling about his filial piety.

If he wasn't loud enough, all the audience would hear was the cheers.

Liverpool fans are fanatical.

Especially after Klopp arrived and brought them a series of honors such as the Champions League championship, they became even more loyal.

Yes!

They are a group of people who have witnessed the trough, and they cherish it all very much.

At the same time, in the east stand, in a designated area for away fans, a small number of Arsenal fans were doing their best to make their voices heard.

Compared to Liverpool fans, they were at a disadvantage in terms of momentum when playing away games.

They don't have as many partners as each other, but they are still cheering at the top of their lungs.

They want the gunmen to hear the voices of gun fans.

Yes!

They are not fighting alone!

Soon, players from both sides began to enter.

Both teams have a large number of star players, which also provides enough gimmicks for this game.

For the commentators far away in the East, Lucai and Chen Man are the absolute protagonists.

Previously, the two played a Chinese derby in the Champions League final.

In that game, Liverpool and Chen Man won the championship.

And now, Lucky leads Arsenal again. They come to Liverpool again with a tougher attitude. They are fully prepared this time. All they want to do is revenge.

"There is no communication between Lucai and Chen Man. Although they have a good relationship, after all, they are their own masters. They belong to different teams. For this reason, they will not have any communication before the game starts." Chance."

"Lucky's performance in major competitions this season can no longer be described as excellent. His strong performance has led Arsenal to move forward step by step."

"If! I mean if! Arsenal can win five championships this season, including the Champions League, League, and FA Cup, and the Ballon d’Or is gone!"

In the past few seasons, Lucky has been nominated for the Golden Globe Award.

But unfortunately, every time Arsenal performed well, he encountered a World Cup year.

In this quarter, the Ballon d'Or will only consider the World Cup, followed by the Champions League and other events.

This season is different, the World Cup has passed.

Modric became the winner of the Ballon d'Or in 2018, and in the 2019 Ballon d'Or, if Arsenal wins five championships, with Lucky's performance, there is a great chance to become the first Asian Ballon d'Or winner.

This is definitely a first-of-its-kind feat.

This news is not groundless, many European media have already started talking about this matter.

After all, Lucky is not just alone. The huge Chinese market behind him has also become the target of World Football Federation.

It has honor, ability, performance, and great commercial value.

Considering so many aspects, if Arsenal wins these five championships, it would be a crime not to give Lucky the Ballon d'Or.

Of course, these are all things for later.

For now, Arsenal still have to focus on this game, after all, Liverpool is not an easy opponent to deal with.

Both parties warmed up well and took the warm-up session seriously.

During the warm-up, both sides also observed and sized up each other from time to time.

Whether it's Arsenal or Liverpool, they both believe that the other side is an absolute threat.

The warm-up ended with waves of cheers.

Players from both sides returned to the locker room, which also meant that the game was about to begin.

"As the defending champions of the Champions League, Liverpool have once again reached the stage of the Champions League semi-finals. If they can overcome Arsenal, then for Liverpool, they have great hope of winning the Champions League again!"

"And for Arsenal, they also have a Champions League at the moment and this is their second time challenging for that honour."

“Interestingly, Lucky has been the captain in both opportunities.”

"For this reason, many Arsenal fans are saying that this is the era of Arsenal, and it is also the era of Lucky!"

Zhan Jun was still talking, and when the camera turned, players from both sides were already standing on both sides of the player tunnel.

In front of him is the entrance arch, the three referees in front of him, and the opponents of the game beside him.

Violent cheers ringed in my ears.

At this moment, the tension reached its peak.

The expressions of the players on both sides were also extremely serious.

Soon, the starting lineup appeared on camera.

Liverpool (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Alisson.

Defenders: Gomez, Van Dijk, Matip, Alexander-Arnold.

Midfielder: Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Henderson.

Forwards: Salah, Firmino, Chen Man.

Arsenal (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Martinez.

Defenders: Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.

Midfielder: Kante, Wilshere, Lucky.

Forwards: Aubameyang, Giroud, Dembele.

"Dembele was recognized by Mourinho based on his outstanding performance and appeared in the starting lineup for the Champions League semi-finals. Many people are even saying that Dembele is Arsenal's best loan player at present. Of course Arsenal can also choose to buy out!”

"At the same time, on the Liverpool side, Chen Man came to the right! He was going to have a confrontation with Lucai."

Zhang Lu added: "This is Klopp's change of formation, using Chen Man's speed to limit Lucky. At present, the only one in Liverpool's lineup who can threaten Lucky is Chen Man!"

At the same time, in the field, the captains of both sides completed their selection of sides.

After Lucai arrived at his position, he saw Chen Man opposite him.

Due to Chen Man's character, he raised his eyebrows at Lucai and showed a mean expression.

Lucky rolled his eyes and ignored these.

But I was still a little nervous inside.

After all, Chen Manzhen just didn't want to deal with it.

The two sides stood in the arena and the game was about to begin.

The atmosphere before the game became even more tense, as if the air was solidifying.

The cheers of the Liverpool fans filled the space, which also slightly suppressed Arsenal's morale. The Gunners tried their best to ensure their concentration.

After all, this is not any other game, but the Champions League semi-finals!
