Chapter Eighty-Three: The Return of the Oriental Dragon

Many Premier League football commentators have blamed Arsene Wenger's lack of a suitable midfielder since the start of October, but Arsene Wenger himself is well aware of the predicament his team is facing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although Wenger emphasizes the player's foot skills and overall coordination in Arsenal's training, in fact, Wenger is also a coach with a center plot, although there are many coaches with a center plot in the Premier League, but with the rise of technical football after the 98 World Cup in France, the pure frontcourt center is rapidly decreasing, and more teams like the kind of players who can play many positions in the frontcourt, which is very similar to the situation in the NBA.

Wenger likes that his front court can have a center forward who can not only destroy the city, but also pass the ball, for this reason, he is looking for it throughout Europe and even the world, but a good center forward is not used by Arsenal at all, and it is quite unpleasant to use it if it is not good, so Wenger has always been very entangled, originally he wanted to make Henry a qualified center forward, but now it seems that Henry is still far behind.

When Liu Han was there, Wenger didn't realize how important this "part-time" player was to the team, but after losing Liu Han, Wenger found that Liu Han's role in the team was so huge, Liu Han's huge deterrent power made many teams dare not relax in the backfield, and the formation did not dare to press too forward, which made many teams often disconnected in the game with Arsenal.

Now this game with Sweden AIK Solna team has also happened, the Nordic "pirates" intend to launch a counterattack against Arsenal, they are now one goal behind, if you want to participate in the Europa League, you must win against Arsenal in this game, and Liu Han has always been like a ghost pressed on the backfield of the Solna team, the tall defender of the Solna team has seen the power of this equally tall Oriental player, that strong body can still have such good flexibility, Nordic players can't figure it out at all, In Arsenal's first goal, the big man from the East almost fell into the middle of the tall Solna backline, with nimble movements reminiscent of South American players.

In this situation, there is a wide fracture zone between Solna's back line and midfield, which gives Bergkamp and Thierry Henry behind Liu Han plenty of room to move.

Solna have a good quality as the hegemon of the Swedish league, but they are still not enough to look at Arsenal, who are second in the Premier League, and the Premier League teams that have been emphasizing confrontation are not physically afraid of these Nordic players, and their speed is more dominant.

Patrick Vieira kept Solna's attacks at bay in the midfield position, and the Nordics' attacks were always a little lacking in agility.

Forty-two minutes into the game, Vieira stole the ball again and then passed to Ljungberg on the left, who stopped the ball without much and passed directly to Bergkamp, and Arsenal had already attacked the heart of Solna after two passes.

Because there is a bit of a disconnect between the midfield and the backline, this allows Arsenal to calmly play together in the front of Solna.

Bergkamp took the ball on the right side outside the penalty area, Liu Han suddenly started to cut diagonally into the Solna team's backline, Bergkamp immediately made a pick-up pass, and the football flew over the head of the Solna defender and fell to the right side in front of Liu Han's body.

In fact, Liu Han's position to receive the ball is a little biased, and the defender of the Solna team next to him is sticking to Liu Han. Liu Han was hidden by the opponent during the run, which made Liu Han unable to completely get rid of the opponent, but Liu Han was still ready to shoot.

At the moment when Liu Han's right foot touched the ball, the originally tense foot suddenly hooked upward, and the Solna defender, who was frightened by Liu Han's movements, couldn't stop the car and flew out from Liu Han's side, and the football just flew over his head.

Liu Han's pick was so brilliant that it not only deceived the opponent's personal defender, but also made Liu Han completely find the space to shoot, and the football that fell to the left side of Liu Han's body was kicked towards the goal by Liu Han's outstep instep, and the Solna goalkeeper didn't have time to save, the ball grazed the left post and flew into the goal, and Liu Han scored twice.

It was a stunningly Gascoigne-like goal from Euro 96 that got the Arsenal players excited and now they can look forward to their second-stage group stage opponents.

The players of the Solna team shook their heads helplessly, it seems that their European competition this season is coming to an end, players like Liu Han are basically unable to prevent it, at least the defenders of the Solna team think so, they even think that Liu Han is a little too powerful, a player whose physical strength can compete with them is actually so good in foot technology, Solna's players admire Liu Han quite a lot, and his two goals are very exciting.

At the end of the first half, Arsene Wenger finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now as long as the score is maintained in the second half, then the Arsenal team will enter the next stage of the Champions League competition.

At halftime, Wenger couldn't help but sound the topic of Liu Han's position that he and assistant coach Rice discussed before, and the impulsive Wenger almost let Liu Han play in the middle after the start of the second half, but considering that it is a very important game after all, and the team's next schedule is still intensive, so it is necessary to ensure the health of the players, especially Liu Han, so Wenger does not dare to change the team's tactical arrangements rashly.

At the start of the second half, the Solna team slowed down their attack, and since there was basically no hope of beating the Arsenal team, it was no sense to continue the confrontation with the opponent's bayonet, and the Solna team was strongly challenged by the Gothenburg team in this year's Swedish league, so the Solna team must guarantee the league lead before the start of the winter offseason.

Seeing that the opponent basically surrendered the gun, Wenger did not aggressively let the team continue to attack, Liu Han was replaced after fifteen minutes of play, Henry continued to be pushed into the center of the position, Wenger's training of him is not over.

Liu Han, who returned to the bench, accepted the congratulations of his teammates, and at the same time he began to inquire with his teammates about the recent changes in the team, when he heard that Ribery was sent back to the youth team again after only one game, Liu Han frowned a little, he was afraid that the kid would lose confidence again, and it seemed that he had to have a good chat with Frank immediately after he returned.

At the end of the 90 minutes, the Spanish referee, who officiated the game, blew the whistle for the end of the game without even stoppage time, and the near-zero temperature during the November day in Stockholm was difficult for the Spaniards to accept.

In the end, Arsenal beat their opponents 2-0 and they will continue their Champions League fixtures, with Liu Han scoring twice in his first game back to change the team's decline. (To be continued.) )
