Chapter 74 Facing Dortmund

Arsenal's substitutes have become a hot topic in the Premier League.

Many head coaches are also very envious of Mourinho's ability to have so many outstanding young players.

The same is true for Mourinho.

However, he is also responsible for the growth of these little demons, providing them with more and better nutrients so that they can grow vigorously.

Of course, for now, the core of Arsenal is Lucky, there is no doubt about this.

Lucky's current state is approaching its peak. Of course, no one can be sure of this. After all, Lucky's outbursts from time to time are still very scary.

In the league, Arsenal's points battle with Liverpool and Manchester City continues. At the same time, the Champions League is quietly approaching.

In the Champions League quarter-finals, Arsenal's opponent in this round is Dortmund.

Dortmund is Arsenal's old rival. They have played against each other many times in the Champions League, and they have won and lost each other.

However, after Klopp left, Dortmund began to gradually decline, and they also performed relatively weakly against Arsenal.

At the same time, Arsenal's transfer of Hummels, Aubameyang, Giroud and other players also caused them to decline further.

However, Dortmund is on a roll this year.

Led by Haaland, the newly popular European player, they have made a surprising offensive impact in the Bundesliga.

For this reason, some people are beginning to look forward to their performance in the Champions League.

Haaland's impact is unquestionable.

He is not a flash-in-the-pan player, but scores goals with consistency and madness.

His explosive physical fitness has made him the offensive core of the entire team.

The current Dortmund, driven by this single arrow, has made its overall offensive impact extremely strong. Many people are even thinking, can Arsenal withstand this kind of impact?

In Arsenal's tactical room, the Bundesliga Dortmund VS Leverkusen match was replayed on the big screen.

This is a frontal impact of Haaland. After Royce's pass, Haaland turned his back against the opponent's central defender, turned and ran wildly to score.

In this shot, the 19-year-old youngster shows off his amazing physical fitness.

Leverkusen's central defender is called Yonatanta, a strong man who is 195 centimeters tall and weighs nearly 200 kilograms.

But Haaland showed no signs of suffering in the back-to-back confrontation. He even used his more flexible body to turn around and get rid of the opponent directly.

After being out of control, it was almost impossible for Yonatanta to catch up with Haaland. For this reason, he could only watch the opponent send the ball into his own goal.

This is Haaland's typical playing style. He can not only play the role of a traditional center, but also become an impact forward.

"This Norwegian player has amazing physical fitness, but he also has extremely explosive power and speed."

Having said this, Mourinho glanced at Lucky.

Obviously, this is telling Lucky that even if the chassis is low, someone may not be faster.

The players didn't notice this detail, they were focused on the camera.

Looking at Haaland's performance, their faces were also slightly solemn.

Even though he is young, young people like this are the most difficult to deal with.

Especially this kind of technical and impactful young player.

"In defense, we have also constructed two lines of defense. The first line of defense must reduce his impact, or at least limit it, so that the central defender has more room for adjustment."

Mourinho understands that facing such players, it is impossible for one person to completely restrict them.

Lucky's physical combat ability is very strong, but this is based on some skills and experience.

But Haaland's physical fitness has exceeded these categories, and maybe even Lekai La can't hold him back.

To do this, he wanted to add an extra layer of security.

"Kai! In this game, your task is no longer to defend, but to actively mobilize the rhythm of offense and defense transitions, and use faster speed to impact the opponent's defense line. We must be stronger in order to increase the impact in a single counterattack. So we need to control the tempo of the game faster.”

Mourinho's idea is very simple. They have the advantage in the midfield and frontcourt. For this reason, they must use this as a basis to expand their advantage.

When facing Dortmund, you must not play procrastinating, as this will only make these guys more wanton.

Lucky also nodded solemnly.

On the other side, Germany, the city of Dortmund.

Dortmund, under the leadership of head coach Favre, is also making tactical arrangements.

A huge character image appeared on the big screen.

It takes up almost half the screen.

It was Lucky.

"I don't think I need any introduction. This year's Ballon d'Or winner, Arsenal's captain, is currently the most perfect core midfielder."

"Kai's ability is not only reflected in defense, but also in offense and organization. But the most important thing is his control of the midfield. I think you know this very well."

Royce and other Dortmund veterans nodded. In many matches, they have never had an advantage in Lucky's hands, and they understand this very well.

At the same time, they also know what powerful abilities Lucai has.

"We have to start exerting our strength after the opening of the first half. The longer the game drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us!"

"Arsenal is very experienced. They know how to win games and how to take advantage of the situation on the field. We lack these things, but we are more impactful, so we must take the lead in attacking after the opening!"

"Don't be timid just because the first game is away, and don't be intimidated by Arsenal. We have strong abilities and we can win the game!"

Favre is brainwashing the Dortmund players and making them more excited.

Among them, Haaland's expression is more vivid.

This guy grinned, looking very expectant.

Yes!

He is really looking forward to the next game. How can he perform against the most powerful team in the world?

Moreover, Haaland also wants to know how far his current abilities can reach?

Arsenal is a very good opponent.

Of course, he did not dare to take it lightly. After all, a person's name is like a tree's shadow. Arsenal's strong performance is obvious to all.

Time came to February 15th, and the Champions League knockout rounds began one after another.

At the same time, Dortmund also set off to London to prepare for their first Champions League knockout game.

Facing Arsenal, Dortmund is under great pressure.

Dortmund fans also think they got a bad draw.

In today's Arsenal, any team will be in an uneasy mood when facing them. After all, so far, only Manchester City has won a small game.

After this game, Arsenal's performance became even stronger, which is even more worrying.

When Dortmund arrived in London, they declined all media interviews.

On the day of arrival, I started to devote myself to intense training.

The whole of London is also filled with a sense of tension under the war.

The next day, in the evening,

The Emirates Stadium was abuzz.

Based on their enthusiasm for the Champions League, Arsenal fans came in large numbers and almost surrounded the stadium inside and outside.

Although many people do not have tickets, they still enjoy it.

They gathered together to sing songs and loudly cheer for the gunmen.

In a fiery atmosphere, the two teams’ buses appeared almost at the same time.

Of course, they entered the stadium from different entrances.

'go ahead! Gunner! ! '

'go ahead! Gunner! ! '

'go ahead! Gunner! ! '

'go ahead! Gunner! ! '

The fierce cheers of Arsenal fans gave the Gunners great encouragement.

Their expressions also became excited.

When they arrived at the locker room, the Arsenal players put on their training clothes in an orderly manner and began to walk out of the stadium.

At this time, Dortmund players also appeared one after another.

Arsenal has many players from Dortmund.

For example, Hummels, Aubameyang, etc.

But they all pretended not to see it. Now they are their own masters, and it is not suitable to reminisce about the past.

After arriving at the stadium, faced with fierce cheers, the players from both teams entered the pre-match warm-up session.

In this session, the two teams also observed each other.

Arsenal is focusing more on Haaland, after all, he is currently the most threatening player.

Of course, in addition to Haaland, another young player Sancho is also very dangerous.

For Dortmund, they have only one goal, and that is Lucky.

It can be said that this guy is their biggest psychological shadow.

If they cannot contain Lucky, it will be difficult for them to win the game.
