427 Quarterfinals 3
Bielsa has been on his laurels, Pochettino's advice has been approved by him, and there have been plenty of changes for him personally this season, with attacking football still the theme, but he will also heed the advice for some important games and let his team control the tempo a little.
Van Persie's form is really good, and several touches after coming on the pitch have shown that minor injuries have not affected Van Da, but with the change of Trapani's tactics, it has become difficult for Van Da to get the ball, Arsenal is very good at passing, but Trapani really wants to control the ball and does not let it go.
And in order to facilitate control, Bielsa replaced Kaka with Cazorla, and did not set up the position of the forward midfielder at all, Schweinsteiger has also grown rapidly this season, the two are young and young, and their organizational skills are not necessarily worse than Fabregas, while Trapani's players seem to have a better tacit understanding, Arsenal's pressing is fierce, but they find that their opponents seem to be too strong.
The formation is compact and the passing is smooth, if they want to form a tackle in the area, Arsenal must increase the number advantage in the area, but they do not have the courage to completely press the formation to Trapani's half, so they can only helplessly still be transmitted by Trapani in the backfield and slowly advance.
Only have to wait for Trapani to concede the ball in a densely defended area before launching a counterattack.
Trapani's tactics were a bit of a rogue, but they were very practical, and soon Arsenal's morale was almost worn out, and Wenger didn't really have any concrete solutions on the sidelines, so he could only stand on the sidelines like a sculpture and wait, waiting for Trapani to make a mistake.
Trapani's non-stop substitutions, Messi went off the field in the cheers of the fans, his departure marked Bielsa's idea of being satisfied with the current score, and it can be seen from the way Di Maria played in the follow-up that Di Maria did not seek a breakthrough at all, but kept retreating, helping the midfield to control, and sometimes even returning to his own half to help the backfield pass in order to receive him.
Only occasionally did he deliver a dangerous ball in the box, and Thierry Henry became a player up front who could not be involved in defence, with Vucinic replacing him on the flank and doing the same thing as Angel Di Maria.
Wenger can't say that Trapani doesn't attack, and people will send the ball to the heart of the Arsenal box from time to time, and there are two or three goals that are really dangerous.
He's also run out of substitutions, the situation on the pitch hasn't gotten any better for Arsenal, and sometimes he has a sense of despair himself, he really doesn't understand how Bielsa does it, he doesn't know that the most Bielsa does with his players all day is passing and running.
Time slowly came to stoppage time, Trapani made two fatal mistakes at this time, maybe it was the physical fitness to a limit, the running ability declined, maybe it was the two balls in hand, so that everyone relaxed, Van Persie took advantage of Mascherano's return pass error, got a single chance, but in the face of such a good opportunity, General Fan unceremoniously launched a shot slightly off the post, wasting Arsenal's best chance of the game.
Amelia yelled, of course he has to credit for this goal, his attack made the cold-footed General Van a little nervous, he saved the door of Trapani, knowing that having an away goal is completely different for this victory.
That's when the game ended, Van Persie sat on the ground and was very sad that he had missed a good chance, a 100 per cent chance that could have changed the situation of the team.
At this time, a hand reached out to him, Van Persie looked up, Henry smiled shallowly at him, Van Persie grabbed Henry's hand and got up.
Henry is also a teacher and friend for him, the trajectory of these two people is very interesting, Henry and Van Persie are both left wingers, both were trained to become center forwards under Wenger, after Henry left, the world's recognized successor on the Arsenal front line is Van Persie, but now Van Persie has not reached the height of Henry.
In other words, there is no way to compare, Henry has always been a rebellious performance at Arsenal in those years, it is hard to imagine how depressed he was at Juventus, and Arsenal may be difficult to produce a striker who can surpass him in the future.
"Robin!" Henry shouted, then hugged Van Persie, "Don't be too upset! There's the next round, and I hope you guys can play better! ”
"I'm fine! Thank you, Captain! Van Persie didn't call Henry by name, he called captain.
"Do you believe we can win the championship?!" Van Persie suddenly asked softly, to be honest, today's game hit him quite hard, a few years ago when Henry was there, Trapani and Arsenal also met in the Champions League, where is Trapani so strong, but now look at this, Trapani is leading in all statistics, this gap is not a little bit!
"Why not! You just lack stability! I think the boss will be able to solve it, he has experience! Henry thought about it, and the words that came out were more like comfort, the current football world is not as good as before, Chelsea, Manchester United, and the rich Manchester City, which is not like a wolf, it is said that Manchester City made an offer of 100 million euros to Messi, whether it is true or not, this is enough to show their ambitions, if Arsenal and Wenger still hold the same kind of thinking as before, the championship is just a dream.
……
Hugo came to the stadium with his son in his arms, and he hugged everyone warmly, "Well done!" When he met Messi, Hugo also hugged Messi off the ground like a child, and Messi blushed for a while.
"This ball can blow for a while! It's time to compete for the Puskas Prize! Hugo joked.
"Actually, it's not too difficult!" Messi said shyly.
"Ho! it! You're too low-key, aren't you? Hugo was "shocked", Messi has probably not scored such a difficult goal this season!
"No, no, no, I mean a lot of people can do it! The right place at the right time! Messi hurriedly explained that this is the true meaning.
"Haha, that's it! Just kidding! Anyway, you don't have to be so modest, it's so easy, you won't be Mr. Golden Ball! Hugo laughed heartily.
"Sign it!" Hugo handed Angelo to Messi.
"Ahh Messi took Angelo, and it wasn't the first time he hugged Angelo, where to sign?!
"Now I'll give you a piece of good news, Angelo actually remembers you! He says he's a fan of yours and wants your autograph! Hugo said.
"He knows me, what's so strange about that! You forgot, I've hugged her so many times! Messi said disdainfully.
"Oh, is there one?! No wonder he said he knew Uncle Messi! Hugo said.
Angelo tried hard to break Messi's face, wanting Messi to put his face at him, and said loudly: "Uncle Messi, sign and sign!" ”
"Howler!" Messi hugged Angelo and spun around, then put Angelo on the ground, and took the signature pen from Lu Fan from nowhere, and wrote his name on the back of the jersey worn by Angelo.
"Angelo, learn from your Uncle Messi's celebratory moves!" Lu Fan teased Angelo.
Angelo really learned Messi's celebration actions seriously, with a board and a glance, which caused everyone to laugh.
The reporter on the sidelines found Hugo's figure, the reporter of the new sports website did not even interview the player, and ran directly to ask Hugo if he could be interviewed, saying that Hugo has not appeared in front of the public for some days, at this time can have an exclusive interview with Hugo's news and is not more interesting than this game, you must know that a lot of big things have happened in football recently, as a very influential figure in Italian football, Hugo's views are very eye-catching.
