Chapter 172 Arsenal is more like Guardiola’s team
Thursday night, game day.
At night, the majestic Allianz Arena looks like a steel behemoth, standing proudly on the earth.
Its huge body exudes an incomparable kingly aura, and it seems to be proudly telling its opponents: Even if you are a dragon, you can only lie down for me when you come here.
On the streets extending in all directions, waves of fans wearing Bayern jerseys with Bayern emblems painted on their cheeks waved flags and sang team songs, gathering towards the Allianz Arena.
Many mounted police patrolled the streets, intentionally or unintentionally, separating the red Bayern fans from the yellow Arsenal fans.
Not far from the mixed area for fans, many police officers were watching from the corner of their eyes from time to time. If there was any sign of trouble, they would immediately rush over and separate the red and yellow fans. Those with serious offenses would be taken away.
After last season's defeat, when Bayern fans faced Arsenal fans again, they no longer behaved like the "King of London" in the past.
They no longer have the arrogance of those in power. They regard Arsenal as rivals of the same level as Real Madrid and Barcelona. They will make provocations and make some off-the-table moves...
The "hate" between the two teams is no longer one-sided.
Outside the Allianz Arena, media reporters conducted random interviews.
Bayern fans: "Guardian has improved the team's strength. We will definitely get back the lost honor tonight. Arsenal is still the same European 16!!!"
Arsenal fans: "Last season we double defeated Bayern, and finally stood on the top of Europe. Tonight we set off again, Arsenal, move forward! We Arsenal are invincible."
The Allianz Arena was packed with people, the noise was deafening!
Tens of thousands of Bayern fans wore red home jerseys, dyeing the stadium into a sea of red.
They sang the passionate team song and waved the flags in their hands with such enthusiasm that they seemed to set the entire stadium on fire.
In the North Stand, there were only about 3,000 Arsenal fans, uniformly dressed in yellow away jerseys, and almost everyone had an antique tape recorder on their shoulders.
The Arsenal anthem was playing on the recorder.
I can't accept it!
Knowing that the number of people was small, it was difficult for the cheering noise to overwhelm the opponents, so they used tools. If it were not allowed to bring speakers into the stadium, they would probably place two large speakers on both sides of the stands!
The Bayern fans on both sides of the North Stand gritted their teeth with hatred when they saw their opponent being so ungrateful, but they were helpless.
I can only shout the names of the players with a higher voice to cheer for my beloved team.
Every cheer is like a stormy wave that sweeps across the entire stadium.
This is the Devil's home stadium - Allianz Arena!

"Penguin Sports!"
"Penguin Sports!"
“Viewers, welcome to the Penguin Live Room to watch the first leg of the 2013-2014 Champions League 1/8 finals on time.
I am your old friend Zhang Lu,
I am Zhan Jun.
Tonight's game will see Bundesliga leader Bayern Munich face Premier League leader Arsenal at home.
This is not only a contest between the two league leaders, but also a battle of revenge for Bayern.
Do you have the feeling that things are changing?
Last season, Bayern was once a bitter opponent of Arsenal, but after being double-killed by Arsenal last season,
Tonight it's their turn to cry out for revenge.
This is Guardiola's first season coaching Bayern. As we all know, Guardiola has been very successful coaching Barcelona.
Many people doubt that he is a coach within the system and think that it will be difficult for him to succeed after leaving the Barcelona system. In fact, Guardiola's Bayern are making great progress in the Bundesliga and FA Cup... "
"To put it bluntly, the Bundesliga is Bayern's back garden. No matter how good the head coach achieves, it will be taken for granted. Tonight is actually a big test for Guardiola..."
"Yes, Guardiola overturned Pep Guardiola's classic 4231 perfect formation and tried to embed pass-and-control play into Bayern's tactical system, which caused strong controversy. However, the current results are better and the opposition has been suppressed. If the Champions League cannot break through, His transformation will encounter twists and turns..."
"The game is about to begin. Coach Zhang, please introduce to the fans and friends the starting lineups of the two teams tonight."
"Ok."
"The home team Bayern Munich has a lineup of 442:
Goalkeeper: Neuer,
Right back: Lahm,
Central defenders: Boateng, Dante,
Left back: Alaba,
Midfielder: Javi Martinez
Central midfielder: Thiago, Gotze, Muller
Right winger: Robben
Left winger: Franck Ribery
In such an important game, there is still no center in Pep Guardiola's starting lineup. It seems that the rumors that center Mandzukic and Pep Guardiola general are not getting along may be true.
In fact, in Barcelona, Pep Guardiola doesn't like to use centers very much, and Bayern prefers big centers...
Then again, you still need a center. With the center as a fulcrum, the frontcourt offense can play tricks...
Arsenal’s lineup for this campaign is 451:
Goalkeeper: Martinez,
Left back: Luke Shaw, Mertesacker and Umtiti form a central defensive partner, and Aurier is the right back.
Gustavo didn't know whether it was a break or a transfer clause restriction, so he sat in the stands.
The double defensive midfielder is the old pairing of Arteta and Cazorla.
Xia Qi plays the left midfielder, De Bruyne is the attacking midfielder, and Gnabry plays the right midfielder. "
At this time, the direct camera gave a close-up shot of a middle-aged couple on the south platform.
Then Gnabry was given a close shot.
The Allianz Arena burst into applause from Tottenham.
Zhang Lu explained: "Dear viewers, the couple in the Bayern stands just now are the parents of Arsenal youngster Gnabry. They are both Bayern fans and are wearing Robben and Muller jerseys, so the sound was heard at the scene. Cheers."
The shouts of Bayern fans could not be heard in the live broadcast. They shouted: "Serge, come back!"
Gnabry blushed like a monkey's butt on the spot. Seeing the "weird" looks in his teammates' eyes, he was ashamed.
Gnabry actually has nothing to do with Bayern. He was born in Stuttgart, but every German's football dream is to join Bayern.
This is also one of the reasons why Bayern digs out German players and they are sure to get the right one.
Just look at Gnabry's parents and you will know that the Stuttgart people are actually Bayern fans, which is unimaginable in other places.
Zhang Lu from Penguin Live Room continued to explain:
"... Balotelli is a single arrow..."
on the field,
After the players from both sides took the group photo,
Arsenal captain Xia Qi walked towards the referee holding a small flag with the team logo.
The referee of this game is from Russia.
He took out his coin and guessed...
"Captain!"
Zhang Lu suddenly sighed in the live broadcast room.
"What's wrong? Xia Qi has been the captain for several games."
