Chapter 218
"Boss, Wenger is mad, hehe."
While Li Shiguang was watching the match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich seriously, Simeone was fiddling with his laptop next to him, constantly switching web pages to watch the live broadcasts of several other matches.
As a result, as soon as the game on TV ended, he pointed at the computer screen and smiled at Li Shiguang: "Boss, Wenger is mad, hehe."
Li Shiguang turned his head and happened to see the familiar picture of Wenger kicking a mineral water bottle on the screen, and his eyes moved to the upper right corner.
Well, in the 88th minute, PSV Eindhoven 1:0 Arsenal.
Li Shiguang looked puzzled: "What's going on? Arsenal is so weak?"
"It's just a silence!" Simeone spread his hands and smiled, then pointed at Adebayo who appeared on the screen, "Wenger is a little anxious. Henry's previous injury probably hasn't healed yet. Wenger substituted him in the second half and soon after, he was injured again. So, he had to replace Henry with Adebayo again, wasting two substitutions in vain, and PSV Eindhoven seized the opportunity to score a goal."
Alas, Wenger's good days are over.
If I remember correctly, Henry seemed to have gone to Barcelona this summer. Now with this injury, I don't know if he will have the opportunity to play for Arsenal this season.
Li Shiguang looked at Wenger with a sullen face on the screen, and felt sorry for him.
"What about Manchester United?"
"They were lucky. I thought it would end in a draw, but Giggs scored in the 80th minute. I just switched the screen and saw that Manchester United had won."
Li Shiguang nodded. Before he could continue asking, Simeone spoke again: "AC Milan was also silent. The game ended 0:0. Ancelotti, the fat man, is really bad! Everyone thought they had drawn a great draw, but in the end they were suppressed by Celtic for most of the game. Fortunately, they defended in the end."
Li Shiguang did not comment on Simeone's statement. After all, in the original timeline, AC Milan played stronger and stronger in this season's Champions League, and later went all the way to the final to avenge Liverpool and win the final championship.
But now because of his appearance, Liverpool was squeezed out of the quota for this year's Champions League by Leeds United. In this case, how will the original direction of this year's Champions League change? In fact, Li Shiguang also has a faint expectation in his heart.

《Arsenal lost in the Netherlands, Manchester United won a small victory over Lille in the last minute, is it true that English teams are weak in the Champions League? 》
《Real Madrid defeated Bayern Munich at home, but the two goals conceded at home may become a hidden danger! 》
《AC Milan continued to be sluggish, and it was difficult to win a game in the away game after 90 minutes of fierce battle! 》
《Barcelona VS Leeds United, the defending champions against the new team in the Champions League, full of highlights! 》
《Wenger: Henry is just an accidental minor injury, which will not affect the second round of the game! 》
《Rijkaard: Leeds United is very strong, but the lack of experience in the Champions League knockout stage will become their fatal weakness. I am confident that they can lay the foundation for advancing to the next round at home! 》
The next day, the focus of all sports media in continental Europe was naturally on the Champions League.
Because Manchester United and Arsenal did not perform well in last night's game, the nickname of "Champions League softies" for the Premier League team once again went viral in the media and on the Internet, so much so that Li Shiguang, who was spotted by reporters just after arriving at Camp Nou in the afternoon, was also stopped.
"Of course the defending champion is strong, there is no doubt about that!" Li Shiguang put a BUFF on himself as soon as he came up, "But since we have already met, we will definitely try our best to win this game. As for the result, it is still too early to tell now!"
"Some media said before that the passing and controlling style that Leeds United sometimes uses was learned from Rijkaard. Mr. Li, do you have anything to say?"
Li Shiguang glanced at the reporter who asked the question and smiled contemptuously: "Do you want to hear what you are asking? Mr. Reporter, I now doubt whether you are a professional football channel reporter! Does a head coach have to write an application to the coach who uses this tactic for the first time when formulating his own tactics? "
"Mr. Li, can we understand that Leeds United will use a tactic similar to Barcelona tonight?" The question was asked by a local reporter from Barcelona.
Shaking his head, Li Shiguang replied half-jokingly: "Mr. Reporter, are you helping Rijkaard to find out the secrets of Leeds United?"
····
At 7 o'clock in the evening, there was still an hour before the first round of the Champions League round of 16 knockout match between Barcelona and Leeds United at home.
DoubleThe players of both teams were occupying their own half of the field.
Since he had only met Rijkaard once, Li Shiguang simply said hello to him when he stepped into the field, and then he and Simeone led the Leeds United players to the final warm-up before the game.
Although there was still some time before the game officially started, the Camp Nou was already crowded with more than 90,000 seats, and most of the fans wearing red and blue striped shirts were mixed with sporadic white!
Faced with such a terrifying attendance, Li Shiguang could only say envy!
····
At this time in England, Lineker and Jon also appeared on the TVs of the fans watching the game on time.
After receiving the director's reminder, Lineker, who had already prepared, faced the camera and said his opening remarks: "Okay, audience friends, welcome to Sky Sports. I am your old friend Lineker, and next to me is my old partner Jon!"
"Good evening, everyone, I'm Jon!"
"Welcome to watch tonight's Champions League round of 16 knockout match. In half an hour, Leeds United's away challenge to defending champion Barcelona will start on time! Now the players of both teams have completed the pre-match warm-up and returned to their locker rooms!"
"Next, let's take a look at the two teams' group stage promotion journey through a short video!"
After the TV screen switched,
Jon continued Lineker's words and started the pre-match chat mode: "Gary, who do you think will win in this game later?"
"Hahaha." Lineker laughed carelessly, "Jon, I have said many times that I am an unwavering supporter of Lee!"
"So do you think Leeds United can beat Barcelona away?"
"Jon, I didn't say that, don't dig a hole for me! I just support Leeds United, but the opponent is the defending champion after all..."
