Chapter 198: Impact
Bwach listened to Klopp's words, and when he thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
Shen Peng's pass was like a sharp knife, piercing the enemy's heart.
"It's no coincidence that Shen Peng passed so accurately, which shows that he is very good at observing the court. He had twenty-three assists last season, which speaks volumes. Klopp said that although this goal was because Aubameyang ran some distance at the end, it could not be counted as Shen Peng's assist.
Bwach nodded.
"I think that 70% of the credit for this goal should be attributed to Shen Peng, if he changes his position, this goal is estimated to become an ordinary attack; And Aubameyang is replaced by someone else, with Shen Peng's passing ability, it is still very likely to score. Klopp laughed.
Bwach grinned, he didn't expect Klopp to value Shen Peng so much, but judging from Shen Peng's current performance, it is indeed worth paying so much attention to.
"In fact, this can also become a kind of offensive routine for us in the future, after all, it is impossible for the opponent to defend in all aspects at the back, so Shen Peng can also assist Aubameyang in the frontcourt."
"Well, after this game, I'll go talk to them." Bouist said that he was talking about the rest of the coaching staff, and it was easy for one person to slip through the cracks when it came to the designation of an attacking plan.
After Dortmund scored first, they played more actively and flexibly than the opponent, such as attacking as soon as they got the ball before, and now when facing the opponent's defense, they will also reverse their feet in the backfield and pull the formation.
Seeing this situation, Wenger also began to pace back and forth on the sidelines, and did not yell like ordinary coaches, but when the players occasionally came to him, he would call over and say a few words, let them stabilize, and pay attention to the point of defending Shen Peng.
This is the group stage, and it is also a game at the so-called most terrifying home stadium - West** Stadium, so even if this game is lost, as long as it is not a big loss, he can accept it.
Arsene Wenger's command worked, and Shen Peng was immediately restricted, but at the cost of doing so, Arsenal's own attack became less powerful.
Seeing this, Wenger frowned and looked at Shen Peng, which made him feel like facing Messi in the game against Barcelona, this kind of person seems to have no effect in general, but this is because the opponent focuses on defense, which will involve a lot of attention from the opponent, and when he really works, it is the crisis of the opponent's backline.
In the summer, Wenger also asked Bochum to buy Shen Peng, but there were too many competitors at that time, and I don't know why Shen Peng chose Dortmund. In Wenger's view, if Shen Peng comes to Arsenal as a striker, with Ozil's assist ability, Shen Peng's offensive ability will be on a higher level, which will be very helpful for him to break the nickname of "Fighting for the Four Crazy Demons", and may be able to win the championship in one fell swoop.
At the end of the first half, the two sides were still 1-0, if this result is maintained until the end, for Arsenal, it is acceptable, for Dortmund, but a little difficult to accept, Arsenal is their biggest opponent for the first place in the group, if they can lead by a large score in this game, open up the goal difference, and when the score is the same, it will have a big advantage.
At halftime, after Klopp finished talking about tactics, he called Shen Peng and Aubameyang aside.
"Shen Peng, did you calculate the distance for the pass before Aubameyang scored in the first half?" Klopp asked, even though he had already made a decision and was going to confirm it.
"Well, I think he's most comfortable receiving the ball when it gets to that place."
"I was really comfortable when I received the ball, and I didn't need to adjust it at all." Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also said.
"Well, in that case, you should try more of this kind of cooperation in the second half, Aubameyang, you find the right time to plug in and attack, Shen Peng, you also try to pass the ball." Klopp said, suddenly remembering something, "Of course, if you have the chance, you can score better." ”
Shen Peng smiled, "Don't worry, Mr. Head Coach." ”
……
After the start of the second half, Arsenal's side first made personnel changes, Wenger replaced Ramsey with Cazorla, which was a counterpoint substitution; Klopp also replaced Kyle with Ginter, also a counter-substitution.
The game started again and both sides made adjustments, so at the start of the second half, the two sides were still evenly matched.
However, in the 50th minute of the game, Arsenal gradually felt that something was wrong.
Because as long as you don't pay attention, Shen Peng will pass a ball, and then Aubameyang will run out, although the Arsenal players are prepared and will defend even if they follow Aubameyang at full speed, this kind of explosive running is too much for their physical consumption.
Although they can run for 90 minutes, such frequent short-distance running is also very taxing for them, just like the world's top 100-meter runners, the state after running 100 meters will be worse than that of an athlete who has completed a marathon.
Wenger frowned when he saw this state, and what he was most worried about happened, that is, Shen Peng and Aubameyang learned from the cooperation in the first half, and they were ready to rely on this move to attack again, and now the players can barely keep up, but after two more times, the players' physical fitness will not be able to sustain.
Now he only has two substitutions, 30 minutes to go, and if he uses up the substitutions now, the rest of the game will be passive.
However, just as he was hesitating to make a substitution, something happened on the field.
At this time, after Shen Peng got the ball, Aubameyang immediately ran forward, and Shen Peng also looked over and seemed to be about to pass the ball immediately.
Arsenal's defenders immediately became nervous, and Gibbs, the left wing-back on Aubameyang's side, was even more miserable, so he had to take steps and run in front of Aubameyang.
But the next situation made these people unexpected, because Shen Peng didn't pass the ball at all!
When everyone's attention was on Aubameyang, Shen Peng used a feint, directly shook Arteta, and then drove straight in!
Arteta thought that Shen Peng was going to pass the ball, so he was caught off guard and was broken through by Shen Peng for a while, and hurriedly chased back, but Shen Peng ran a little faster than Aubameyang at full speed, but usually because he was in the middle and was a striker, he didn't often have the opportunity to show like Aubameyang on the wing, so Arteta couldn't catch up at all.
After Shen Peng accelerated, Arsenal's two central defenders were also in the process of retreating, and Shen Peng easily broke through with speed, and finally faced goalkeeper Szczesny, Shen Peng calmly pushed and scored.
