Chapter 518: Arsenal Starts Defending
The current situation in the league is very similar to that before the winter break, when Inter Milan also suffered consecutive draws, and then was pulled away by Juventus by five points, and now Juventus is also drawn three games in a row, and was pulled away by Inter Milan by five points - but at that time, there was still more than half of the league not played, and Inter Milan would not be shaken too much because of this, now? There are only five rounds left in the league, and the five-point gap is like a huge chasm, so that Juventus almost loses any hope of qualifying!
Now Inter Milan's points have reached eighty-two points, five points ahead of Juventus, A Milan because of the loss to Lecce in the last round, nine points behind Inter Milan, four points behind Juventus, under such an advantage, Dick can indeed relax in the league, and then concentrate on preparing for the upcoming Champions Cup For A Milan, although they still have hope of winning the championship, it is obvious that chasing nine points in five rounds is already quite difficult, Even if they start the Milan derby with Inter Milan next, even if they win against their opponents, there is still a six-point gap - and they still have the Champions League semi-finals to play after the Milan derby......
After a week's rest, Dick made a bold move – he fielded almost all of his substitutes in the Milan derby, which caused some controversy, after all! Sending out all the substitutes in the derby, if it weren't for Dick's current prestige to a certain level, would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the fans. [No pop-ups. 】
Dick doesn't care about this, he is a man who only looks at the results, after the game against A Milan, the next four league opponents are Regina, Empoli, Siena and Cagliari, all of which are ranked in the bottom half, but there is no relegation danger because of Treviso and Lecce at the bottom, in this case, it is almost impossible for these four opponents to stop Inter Milan from winning, even if they lose this one, as long as they grab enough points in the next four league games, The league title is still Inter Milan – and in the Champions Cup, it would be a huge advantage if you could save some energy!
Ancelotti is not as free and easy as him, although he may not be able to win the league championship after beating Inter Milan, but he still sent some of the main players to play, and finally under the full defense of Inter Milan, A Milan defeated Inter Milan 2-1, giving Inter Milan Chapter 528 of this season's league into his control!
What kind of control? Of course, it is attacking, Inter Milan is the most attacking team in the whole of Europe this season, and Arsenal, although they defend well, is not a full-time defensive team, and it is worth it to attack on the road, whether it is a win or a defeat in the end, as long as they can score enough goals on the road.
"Ashley? Kerr can't play because of an injury and that's a good thing for us. According to Arsene Wenger's habits, this position is unlikely to be Klich, who is not very good defensively, and midfielder Flamini could be their first-choice left-back. If he's on the pitch, he's a purely defensive player, and on this side we have to attack, but it's not going to be the focus. Their two central defenders, Toure and Senderos, are both powerful central defenders, if you force a breakthrough, there will not be too many chances, in attack we have to be patient to find opportunities, with continuous attacks to create opportunities, especially the front and both wings of the attack, their defense has no obvious weaknesses, but no weak defense does not mean that we will not concede goals, as long as we can continue to put pressure on the Arsenal defense, then we will be able to score! ”
"The best thing about Arsenal is their midfield, the three midfielders who can play the side are the source of their attack, and Cesc Fabregas is responsible for the organization, Gilberto Silva is responsible for interception, the division of labor is clear, in fact, with their style of play this season, the most threatening thing in the game is their counter-attack and set-pieces, they have a lot of tall people in the team, and their header ability is very strong, coupled with Henry's footwork, they are a great threat from set-pieces, and the counterattack relies more on the wonderful pass of the midfield and Henry's personal ability, in addition, Their positional offensive ability is not particularly good, as they lack a striker with a strong impact...... Control the midfield, attack boldly when you have the chance, don't give Arsenal too many chances to counter-attack, that's the tactical point of our game! ”
After arriving in London, Dick quickly held a tactical meeting, he has a strong confidence in this arrangement, he knows what kind of tactics Arsenal have used this season, he knows what their characteristics are this season - this is also where he is most confident in coaching, for some important opponents, he can know very thoroughly what their form is this season, what their tactical characteristics are, what their players perform better - because these are things that have been analyzed countless times in later generations!
Neither the assistant coach nor the players have any opinion on Dick's arrangement, they are used to Dick's tactical arrangement, and they can always achieve good results if they do it according to his arrangement.
Arsenal also began their preparations, Arsenal's performance in the league this season is average, Chelsea has shown crazy momentum from the beginning, after the Champions Cup is out, it has focused all its attention on the league, and after establishing the lead early, this advantage has been continuously amplified, so Wenger has begun to focus on the Champions Cup very early, and has been coaching Arsenal for almost ten years, Wenger has no shortage of league titles, but there has been no breakthrough in the European arena, It also makes Arsene Wenger desperate to make some breakthroughs in the Champions League this season.
Benitez led the team to win the Champions Cup last season gave Wenger enough hints, Benitez's Liverpool played extremely badly in the league, and finally only finished fifth, but won the championship in the Champions Cup, and his abrasive style of play also gave Wenger some inspiration, which is why there is now Arsenal who has reached the semi-finals and created the best results in the Wenger era!
Although Inter Milan is a strong team, there is no weak team that can enter the last four, and since Arsenal can beat Juventus at home, they also have enough confidence in Inter Milan.
On April 19, the Champions Cup semi-finals were played first, and after wasting several opportunities, Milan was scored the winning goal by Gyuli through counterattack, and finally lost 0-1 at home to Barcelona.
