After falling into a tough battle, how to tear through the opponent's layers of defense and find the space to give the opponent a fatal blow?

Breaking down the opponent's defence through penetrating passes or dribbling is one of the main strategies of positional warfare, and this style of play is famous during Josep Guardiola's time at Barcelona, where passing or dribbling into the opponent's defence can be used to effectively move forward.

Teams like Napoli, Borussia Dortmund, Tottenham Hotspur and Ajax all successfully used this style of play last season.

In this Arsenal team, the one who can pass the ball in depth is undoubtedly the "cake king" Mesut Ozil, who is good at creating dangerous balls and assists, and the healthy Santiago Cazorla is also one of them.

As for the dribbling masters, Alex Sanchez is undoubtedly the best in the middle, and Jack Wilshere used to like to push the ball from the center to the front, and too much of the ball has led to injuries.

Now the mature Wilshere has cut down on unnecessary dribbling and is more involved with his team-mates on the ball, which is why Arsène Wenger wants to re-sign the Gunners' own family.

Watching one of the few games in Portugal and the Premier League, Tan Xibi knows that this is a full-time defensive midfielder, similar to Claude Makellele's defensive style, basically handing the ball to a teammate in a safe position after breaking the ball.

But in this game, after breaking the ball from the feet of Tammy Abraham, Tan Xibi rarely did not pass the ball immediately, but advanced with the ball for a distance, which was an unexpected move that caused no one to step forward to obstruct and interfere with Tan Xibi's advancement with the ball.

It can still be seen that Tan Xibi's dribbling skills are average, if expressed in numerical values, he will barely pass, if the opponent comes forward to press, it is difficult for Tan Xibi to control the ball at his feet, although he has a strong strength in the lower game.

When Swansea's players closer to Tan reacted and made a blocking move, Tan crossed to Wilshere in the middle and then ran forward without the ball for the first time.

A scene that surprised the audience appeared, Tan Xibi passed the ball to Wilshere, the prince made the wall, and passed the ball back to Tan Xibi who was inserted into the right side of the penalty area without stopping.

"Wall has progressed." Arsene Wenger's eyes lit up, for a long time, the French professor's favorite midfielder is Patrick Vieira, a B2B midfielder who has both offense and defense, and the sappers who can only defend with rough feet have no place at Arsenal, which is why the outside world calls for the Gunners to introduce a "black and hard" strong waist professor is unwavering.

The iron midfield is flowing soldiers, and the back waist comes and goes, but none of them meet Wenger's expectations, even if it is the two back midfielders in the team, it is a last resort.

Before the introduction of Tan Xibi, Wenger hesitated, because in the society at that time, Brother Tan was basically a water porter doing dirty work, and he was born halfway through, and his foot skills were a bit rough and he lacked the skills to advance vertically with the ball.

However, Tan Xibi's mental strength and plasticity at only 18 years old, coupled with the endorsement of Portuguese godfather Agostiño Oliveira, Wenger, who is good at cultivating young people, decided to take a gamble on Tan Xibi, at least, he saw that Tan Xibi has the game reading ability and ball intelligence that Mohamed Elneny and Francis Coquelin do not have.

Many people are criticizing Arsenal's training methods, but what they don't know is that after Tan Xibi came to Arsenal, the technical aspect of his feet is rising day by day, as mentioned earlier, if Tan Xibi's technical attributes were 11 points before he came, then now his skills are 14 points, reaching the passing line, and can advance stably with the ball without pressure, and he is two points away from being able to break through with the ball.

Perhaps Tan Xibi is a piece of jade that no one knows is wrapped in a stone, and after being illuminated by Olivia, it gradually shines brightly.

To be able to put it under Wenger's command and believe that this piece of jade will be polished into a world of light, isn't this what the French are best at?

Under the amazed gaze of everyone, Tan Xibi received the ball and without a trace of hesitation, he shoved it straight to Alexandre Lacazette in the penalty area, and the French center forward was blocked by the opponent's attack, and it fell right at the feet of Ozil behind him.

Ozil then passed the ball to Lacazette, who suddenly returned the pass with his heel under the marking of the opponent next to him, and the forward Ozil faked a real pass in front of the Swansea player who defended him, and returned the pass to the middle, although the ball touched the leg of the Swansea defender, but it did not change much of the trajectory, and the ball crossed behind Sanchez, who received from the middle.

With all eyes focused on where Alexandre Lacazette and Mesut Ozil were, no attention was paid to Seyad Kolasinac running in from just outside the box.

The unguarded Kolasinac scrambled to meet the ball with his left foot before his opponent, and the ball curled like a cannonball into the back of the net around Lucas Fabianski's hands.

"Lacazette sends a backheel pass from the right side of the box! Pretty! ”

"Mesut Ozil's cross is in the middle!"

"Kolasinac!"

"Gooooal - Kolasinac scored in front of the goal, and in the 50th minute of the second half, Arsenal equalized!"

The commentator's excited voice was quickly drowned out by the cheers of the crowd, and the Bosnian who scored his first Premier League goal excitedly ran to the sideline close to the stands, clenched his fists and said something on his lips.

"Hahaha, well done! Seyad! The first to run was Tan Xibi, who jumped on Kolasinac's back as excited as if he had scored a goal, shouting into his ear.

The fans in the stands applauded and cheered, and one of the fans standing at the front waved the Arsenal crest as if to cheer for the team.

In the Sky Sports live studio, two guests briefly commented on the goal.

"Through the replay, we can see that it was Wall who instigated this attack." Matt Letissere said.

Wall cut the ball, drove the ball forward and then went one-two with Jack around a defender and then passed forward to Alexandre. It's a typical Arsenal positional attacking routine, but to my surprise, it's not Jack or Mesut who is in charge, it's Wall. I did my homework before the game, and in Portugal Wall was a pure sapper midfielder and never saw him get the ball up front at the back. Jamie Carragher said.

Le Tissel laughed: "You forget that Wall is only 18 years old, there is a lot of room for growth at this age, and when he comes to Arsenal, Arsène is very good at coaching young players. ”

"Yes, but he's progressing too fast, he's only been at Arsenal for a few days?" Carragher nodded and said.

Emma Jessica's excited screams in the VIP seats caused the fans next to her to ask, "Are you a Korra fan?" ”

"No, it's not."

"So you're so excited?"

Jessica looked at him stupidly: "Arsenal scored, aren't you excited?" ”

The corner of the fan's mouth twitched, and there was a black line.

Well, you make a point, I shouldn't be talking to you!
