Filed no less exciting battles in the playoffs for the Champions League this season. See Arsenal are playing with the representatives of Italy 1-0, Udinese. Despite the victory in the first leg, the Gunners have not been in a safer position.
At least Arsene Wenger is still in the hole. Arsenal may not be able to advance to the round of group stage of the Champions League due to a leg melakoni second at the headquarters of Udinese. This is what I watch the team nicknamed Gunner in North London.
The victory is not negotiable, if Arsenal is still a dream to play in maintaining the highest caste of competitive football on European soil. Yes, it is hard to deny that it is like when Arsenal were now in a difficult situation. Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona starting at least affect the competitiveness of the Arsenal, is still fresh in your mind when Arsenal fell into the hands of Liverpool last weekend, two unanswered goals.
Interpreter nicknamed Professor tactics deny the defeat of Liverpool affect the performance of his team before games away, Udinese disadvantages. "This will give a great effect, especially in the fight on Wednesday night (against Udinese), which is a great game for us," Wenger told Arsenal.com on Monday (8/22/2011).
Meanwhile, the stronghold of his opponent, Udinese slight advantage. Serve as host, has a chance to pack Udinese victory and won the ticket to the Champions League. Balance Udinese architect, Francesco Guidolin has its travel warning for Arsenal.
"The second stage is more difficult, because we have to score and to maintain a balance. You can not leave a blank space to the opponent that can beat us with his speed," Guidolin said some time ago.
While trying to hide from modestly strategies Guidolin, who played the game, which in essence is to be taken seriously after Wenger. If Udinese survived at this stage, play sweet memories of the 2005/06 season when they qualified for the final Champions League group.
Not much different fate was shared by FC Twente drew 2-2 that only the ambassadors of Portugal, Benfica. Twente certainly do not want to show a modest performance in the second leg to come back later to show the existence of the European scene as well as last season.
Last season, he managed to enter the Champions League stage of Twente. But they are automatically qualified for the 2010/11 season edition of the Champions League yesterday because they had already obtained a Landskampioen. But there is a separate record of Twente, the team based at De Veste Grlosch still enter the qualifying round of the Champions League two seasons 2008/09 and 2009/10. Reflecting the taste of failure of the Champions League play-off path of truth Twente could overcome the resistance of Benfica.
Note unpleasant reality participants living in the Champions League last season with FC Copenhagen. Copenhagen should be presumed not to give into the hands of non-seeded clubs home representative. Ceska, Victoria Plzen to score a landslide victory in the first leg 3-1. It took a miracle of Copenhagen again compete with the best European teams.
Even though with Villarreal humiliated in Odense BK, with one goal. But at least, on the Europa League semi-finalists last season, is still a chance of luck groped in the Champions League.
Meanwhile, giants Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga may be a little relieved to see a victory by two goals to a new district in Zurich FC won the first round. Increased productivity in Munich two goals for the road wide competition back to the highest caste in the blue continent.
On the other parties are Dewi Fortuna also an umbrella for Olympique Lyon, who have overcome the surprise team of Turkey, Rubin Kazan. Lyon punish Rubin with a score of 3-1. So, is interesting not wait for the teams struggles around the turn of the Champions League group to demonstrate their existence and identity in Europe. About to come, that is wasted?
