In the update of the UEFA Champions League player list at the end of January, Yunsheng updated Beckham and Zhang Linpeng. The selection of the two gave Yunsheng a richer lineup and bench depth.
Real Madrid, Bayern, Chelsea and other teams have also made some adjustments, mainly to eliminate some injured players and replace several winter new players.
To Yunsheng's relief, Arsenal's Champions League entry list has also changed!
Chen Tao has finally been selected for Arsenal's Champions League squad!
Around Christmas in the Premier League, there is a dense schedule.And Arsenal's routine "left behind period" at the end of January every year has come again.
Due to frequent and intensive matches, Arsenal suffered injuries to many players again, and they couldn't even make up 7 substitute players in the league.
In the past weekend, Wenger even had two goalkeepers on the bench.
There is really no one available, what do you ask Wenger to do...
In this case, Chen Tao got the chance to play.
Perhaps it was Chen Tao's diligence that touched the heavens. In Chen Tao's first Premier League appearance, he contributed a lore. In stoppage time, he helped the team beat West Ham 2-1 and won the game.
In the FA Cup match a few days later, he used a wonderful long shot to help the team beat Fulham 1-0 and help the team advance to the next round.
In the next round of the Premier League, Chen Tao, who made his debut, once again contributed a top-level performance.In the unfavorable situation where the team fell behind 0 to 1, he contributed two assists within 10 minutes of the second half, helping Van Persie score twice and defeating the century-old rival Tottenham Hotspur.
Chen Tao became the best player of the game, and after this game, he completely became the new idol of Arsenal fans!
In the local Arsenal souvenir shop in London, Chen Tao's No. [-] jersey became the hottest item!
In the first round of the UEFA Champions League round of [-] in the first week, Chen Tao got the chance to participate in the UEFA Champions League for the first time.
And in this game, Arsenal defeated the Portuguese powerhouse Porto 2-0 at home. Chen Tao became the best player of the game with one pass and one shot.
Now Chen Tao's position in Arsenal is becoming more and more stable, the veteran Rosicky has been squeezed to the bench by him, and Nasri can only get the chance to play in the rotation.
Arsenal's No. [-] player has gradually become the leader of the Gunners!
In this round of the UEFA Champions League, not only Chen Tao was eye-catching, but Cottbus's Huaguo European Army also performed well as a whole.
Facing Bordeaux, the Ligue 2 powerhouse that eliminated him last season, Cottbus took advantage of the home court to launch a fierce attack. Yu Hai and Shao Jiayi scored a goal each, and finally won the opponent 0-0 at home, temporarily avenging the 2-[-] tactics of Bordeaux last season.
It is worth mentioning that due to Li Tie's injury, Zhou Haibing got the chance to start. He passed and received the ball very steadily in the midfield. He was not timid in his first Champions League knockout match and contributed many wonderful interceptions in the midfield.
In the other few games, the strong teams also won, and there were no upsets.
On February 2, the other eighth-finals of the Champions League also officially started.
As early as February 2, the Monaco team came to Germany one day earlier to prepare for the Champions League knockout match against Stuttgart the next day.
On the morning of the 15th, the entire Cottbus team came to the Mercedes-Benz Arena to adapt to the field training.
Regarding this stadium, Kompany who once played in the Bundesliga, Beckham, Gudjohnsen, Recoba and other players who once played against Stuttgart are all familiar with this stadium.
The person who is most familiar with this stadium is goalkeeper Hildebrand.
As a Stuttgart youth training player, as one of Stuttgart's "Five Little Tigers", and as a contributor to helping Stuttgart win the Bundesliga championship, Hildebrand has no doubts about his affection for this stadium.
In the summer of 2007, he went to Cottbus in search of new challenges, and finally won the Bundesliga championship trophy with Yunsheng.
But after Yunsheng left Cottbus in 2008, Hildebrand once wanted to return to Stuttgart, but after he terminated his contract with Cottbus, Stuttgart suddenly decided not to sign with him due to injury problems, leaving Hildebrand aside and choosing Arsenal’s returning veteran Lehmann.
It was a blessing in disguise and failed to return to Stuttgart, but followed Yunsheng and became a triple crown in Ligue [-]. Hildebrand felt very satisfied with the trip to Monaco.
But deep down, he still has a grudge against his old club Stuttgart.
In the Mercedes-Benz Arena, the teammates next to him were warming up relaxedly. Hildebrand touched the goal and the net without saying a word.
Pu Luo on the sidelines asked: "Is Timo not in good shape? I think he is always in a daze."
Yun Sheng shook his head: "Don't worry, he's fine. I guess he just remembered some past events. It's nothing serious and won't affect the state of the game. After all, he has experienced a lot with his old club..."
Yun Sheng recalled that in Cottbus, when Hildebrand returned to the Mercedes-Benz Arena, he was even more silent than today.
It was his first visit to the Mercedes-Benz Arena, and the final performance was very eye-catching, beating Stuttgart 1-0 and zero.
In this match, Yun Sheng was more confident, because he knocked out the B-level [Meeting an Old Friend] in his hand.
Although Stuttgart is not as good as opponents like Huang Saren, their strength is definitely not weak, and it is still necessary to be safe in the Champions League knockout.
In the hotel at noon, Yun Sheng held a press conference, and he brought the captain Ujfalusi with him.
"Coach Yunsheng, what do you think of this game?"
"When you faced Stuttgart with one win and one draw at Cottbus, you remained unbeaten. Now you are coaching a stronger Monaco. Do you have the confidence to win today?"
Looking at the reporters in the audience, Yun Sheng felt very familiar. After all, he was often surrounded by these reporters when he was in Cottbus. Although two years have passed, there are still familiar faces in the audience.
Yunsheng's answer is still the same as in the Cottbus period, neither soft nor hard, very official.
"Stuttgart is a familiar opponent. There are many talented players in their team. No one dares to say the outcome of this game. After all, it is a two-round match, so we have to weigh the pros and cons."
As for Yun Sheng's words, it's the same as if he didn't say anything.
The reporters in the audience were speechless.
And two hours later, in the press conference hall of the Stuttgart club, Stuttgart coach Amin Fei's speech will be much hotter.
"This game, we Stuttgart must win!"
