Let's talk for the first time todayChampions League semi-finals: Paris Saint-Germain vs Arsenal!
This season's Grand Paris is indeed very, very strong, with countless statistics being the first in this Champions League and one of the favourites.
Premier League champions Liverpool were eliminated by them, and they also beat Arsenal away in the first leg, so a lot of fans will start to imagine the scene of Paris and Inter Milan meeting in the final.
However, Paris coach Luis Enrique has issued a serious warning: this game is completely different.
Why did he say that?
Obviously, on the surface, many situations are not good for Arsenal?
For example, fitness, Arteta doesn't know what's wrong,All teams in the world rotate in this situation, but he doesn't, and only 1 of 11 starters is changed.
In Paris, only one of the 11 starters was not changed, and the other 10 were all changed.
Then, everyone is 9 days and 3 games, and Paris still won the championship early for a long time, and the physical advantage will be huge.
For example, injuries, only one old injury Kimpembe in Grand Paris is absent, and he has not started this season anyway, so it has almost no impact.
On Arsenal's side, there will be at least 5 players injured, including the top scorer Havertz, who are worth a total of 218 million, and some of them are still core players, and the loss is still very large.
There may be only one positive for Arsenal's side: the return of midfielder Partey.
But this may also be a good thing for Wang Fang - although he is only one person, he can play a role in revitalizing the overall situation.
First of all, he can fill the defensive gap in midfield.
How did Arsenal concede the ball in the first leg? The point is that Patty is not here.
We can see that Dembele is completely emptied,A radius of several meters was empty, allowing him to finish the door with ease.
This kind of leakage is a low-level mistake.The main Arsenal players are used to Patty's presence, and this area is usually defended by PattyJust three minutes into the game, the players didn't react to Patty's absence.
Here's a point:Arsenal's defence this season has been world-class.
The current Arteta is a very obvious "melon skin bird's heart", the defensive quality is very high, and many defensive statistics are in the top three in the Champions League.
If there are no low-level mistakes, Paris wants to score? It should be difficult.
Now that Partey can return, at least Arsenal can come up with a normal and reliable starting line-up, and the quality of the defence could improve significantly.
Then, Arsenal's attacking side could have an epic boost,Because Merino can return to the center position.
The first-choice center forward Kai Havertz and the second-choice striker Jesus are both injured, and the 1.72-meter third center forward Trossard is too weak, Arteta chose the midfielder Merino to play a cameo role as a center forward.Since the last 16 of the Champions League, Merino has been Arsenal's starting centre-forward.
Not to mention, Merino, who is 1.89 meters, is really holding up,In the two legs against Real Madrid, he contributed one goal and two assists, that's Real Madrid! The performance was amazing.
However, after Patti was suspended in the first leg,Because if Merino is allowed to play as a striker, there will be no three professional midfieldersIn order to seek stability, Arteta still let Merino return to the midfield and did not let him continue to play as a central striker.
This also led to the fact that although Arsenal's offensive statistics were slightly superior, they could not hold up in the front field and failed to score.
In fact, Arsenal is a threat, and there are still a lot, and Merino can return to the center forward position tonight, which may make a big difference.
In the Champions League, the winner is either the "son of version" or the "son of luck".
I look at Arsenal is a bit of a "son of the version", whether it is Arteta's "melon skin bird's heart" or the blessing of the first set-piece coach in history, Jofer, they all eat the version of the dividend, although everyone generally thinks that Arsenal is very strong, but I am afraid they are still a little underestimated.
Will they be able to please the fans tonight and what do you think? The little wine party is looking forward to them to win the game!
