[歐冠] Stand up to Juventus, says Wenger
BBC
After beating Real in the last round, the Gunners are 2-0 up against Juve
going into Wednesday's second leg.
"We have to find the right mixture - defend well yet not only defend but get
forward where we can," said Wenger.
"We did not lose it in the second game with Real Madrid but we were not
intimidated, we did not lose our game."
Cesc Fabregas was Arsenal's stand-out player at Highbury, scoring one goal,
and he hopes to shrug off a bruised foot to play in Turin.
But skipper Thierry Henry, who scored the other goal, says whoever Wenger
selects will be up to the task.
"Football can always reserve you some surprises - and you always have to stay
cool and calm," said the striker.
"Juventus at home are a completely different proposition to the team we played
at Highbury.
"This will be the most difficult game of our Champions League campaign this
season and what we have done so far will be irrelevant if we do not reach the
semi-finals.
"But our greatest motivation is that we know that everything is possible if
we play as we did in the home game.
"It was a victory for togetherness."
Juventus captain Lilian Thuram says the first leg was "a disaster for us in
every way" and has promised that his side will attack Arsenal like "a hurricane
".
Wenger has warned his team to expect a frantic start.
"They might try to score early on and to put us under pressure. I believe that
will suit us, to defend well as a team, but not to hide," he stated.
"We have to be positive and try to win the game.
"With the experienced side we face, no matter what happens we will have to be
fully focused for 90 minutes."
Juventus went to pieces at Highbury, finishing with nine men after Mauro
Camoranesi and Jonathan Zebina were sent off.
But coach Fabio Capello believes his side can still win the tie.
"Miracles do happen," said Capello. "We are convinced we can do something
extraordinary. In football anything can happen.
"People think we are dead in this competition - they are mistaken."
Thuram described fellow Frenchman Henry as a "devil who is difficult to stop"
but says his team are more than capable of handling him.
"Player by player Juve are superior to Arsenal and it will not be a
surprise if we were to get three or four goals. Now the whole world will see what the real Juventus is all about. We are out
for revenge for the humiliation we suffered."
