The second match of the Cup Winners' Cup quarter-final between Prato and Arsenal was played in a tragic manner. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Prato, they almost had to win at the Bissenchio Stadium to move on, and Graham, desperate to save his managerial position, put up a desperate stance.

Arsenal under Graham's tutelage, it is indeed a team with a strong style and strong willpower, coupled with Graham's great emphasis on physical confrontation training, so that they can often complete the turnaround in the situation of disadvantage, the most classic is the game that ended the Liverpool dynasty. In the 1989-1990 season, when the final round of the league was played, Arsenal were three points behind Liverpool and had a goal difference of four fewer than their opponents, who happened to be Liverpool in the final round. At this time, Liverpool is still the leader of the English domestic league, in this key matchup, Graham aroused the endless fighting spirit of the whole team, defeated the rival 2-0, and won the league championship with the same number of goals in the case of the two teams with the same points and the same goal difference, such a slight championship advantage is unprecedented even in the 100-year history of English football, and this game has completely dragged the Red Army into the abyss of more than 20 years without a league championship.

However, Graham completely got the wrong idea, and in the Prato team, Dunga, Effenberg, Zanetti, Inzaghi, Toldo, Materazzi and other players are all players who can only be said to be excellent in normal times, but can be called great in key games. If you want to select the best 10 captains in the next 20 years, there are at least three Prato who can be on the shortlist, Dunga, Effenberg, and Zanetti, which one is not very leader-like, and it is rare that the three can coexist peacefully in a team.

Zanetti doesn't say it, because he is young and introverted and calm, he belongs to the kind of person who leads the whole team by actions rather than words. It's really difficult to get along with Dunga and Effenberg, both of whom are very individual, and are prone to contradictions, but the two have formed a relatively deep "class friendship" in the conflict with Maradona.

Arsenal tried in vain to overwhelm Prato with a fierce physical confrontation and thus claim victory. As a result, he suffered heavy losses. Dixon and Ian. Wright went off the field with an injury, including Dixon, who was seriously injured and almost out of season, and Merson was also sent off for serious injuries. Moro and the others also received some minor injuries.

Of course, Prato was not easy, captain Dunga was sent off with a red card and was destined to miss the next round of the Cup Winners' Cup, Veron and Zanetti were also injured respectively, Zanetti had a sprained joint and needed to rest for two weeks, while Veron had a slight fracture in his leg and needed two months to recover. But Zanetti finished the game with an injury, and Effenberg also took the captaincy responsibility in time and led the team to suppress Arsenal's momentum. In this case, Prato won thanks to Inzaghi's ghostly goalmouth strike in the second half.

In fact, if Graham commands Arsenal to conduct normal offensive and defensive battles, with the strength of the five elders at the back and Ian. Wright's efficiency, the final victory or defeat is really unknown. However, the excessively fierce physical confrontation turned the game into a chaotic battle, and Prato's fierce rebound was completely unexpected by Arsenal, which can be described as killing 8,000 enemies and losing 10,000, which disrupted Arsenal's own rhythm. And Prato, under the leadership of Dunga, Effenberg and others, has always maintained a high fighting spirit and iron spirit, and the result of the game is self-evident.

Reaching the semi-finals of the Cup Winners' Cup has earned Prato a huge reputation, not only in Italy but also in England, the birthplace of modern football. The British newspaper "The Guardian" lamented that the winner of the UK's top league could not beat a team ranked fourth in Serie B, and how far is the gap between the Premier League and Serie A.

The Times praised the quality of Prato's players, believing that Prato's main players only take one-fifth of the salary of Arsenal players, but they perform better, why should British players have such high wages and transfer values. The newspapers have even suggested that Premier League teams bring in a few key players from Prato, which is definitely a bargain option.

The Telegraph has taken a different step forward with an analysis of Prato's back three. It is believed that Prato's tactics of emphasizing midfield defense and organization are very powerful, because the strong defensive ability of the midfielder makes it easier for Prato to break the ball in the midfield, and once the ball is broken, he will face the bare backline. In addition, the strong ability to organize and pass the ball can ensure that they can form a counterattack as quickly as possible after breaking the ball. In contrast, Arsenal's tactics are still long balls and hooves, which are outdated in modern football. In the last paragraph, the newspaper asserted that in the future of football, it must be the midfielder who wins the world.

In the quarter-finals of the Cup Winners' Cup, in addition to the match between Prato and Arsenal, several other matches were also decided. In the top half, Spain's Real Zaragoza beat another Premier League giant, Chelsea, to knock the proud Englishman out of the Cup Winners' Cup, while France's Auxerre beat Feyenoord, one of the Eredivisie's triumvirate, in two home-and-away duels.

Speaking of Feyenoord, Chen Lin remembered another person that day, not a player he fancied. It's Cardo. Moniz, an academy coach who rated five stars in FM2032. Cardo. Moniz and Mulensteen can be said to be brothers, both studied under the famous Dutch coach Gufren.

In the seventies, Gufferen created a systematic training method called the CoerverMethods (CM). It is a specialized training method for players in dribbling, ball nature, ball sense and individual combat. From 5 to 18 years old, players of different ages have different training specialities. In addition to the ball sense, such as turning, unloading methods, etc., are also the content of the CM tutorial. The most important part is the one-on-one individual combat ability, which not only includes passing feints, but also focuses on details such as receiving, heading, confrontation style, breakthrough direction, personal positioning, etc. Training is systematized by age group, and each movement has strict rules. This tutorial is a great help in developing young players. Van Persie, Bouais, Smolarek and others are all disciples of Moniz in Feyenoord, but Moniz is still very young and has not received much attention, and it seems out of place in Dutch football.
