69, good luck, eat chicken tonight!
Andres Pirlo is most impressed by his frenetic, precision-guided long balls and free-kicks, but the Italian midfielder's mastery is more than that.
Among them, through accurate prediction, intercepting or stealing the opponent's pass and completing the pass at the same time is also Pirlo's stunt.
Accurately predicting the opponent's passing route in the front court, making accurate interceptions or steals while passing a fatal through ball, you can imagine what kind of blow such a quick transition between attack and defense will bring to the opponent?
Just look at the second goal conceded by Tottenham Hotspur, when they started to run forward as a whole to prepare for the counter-attack, they did not expect that the first pass that launched the counter-attack was intercepted by the opponent, let alone that the interception and pass happened at the same time, and by the time they reacted to the defense, it was already too late.
This kind of penetration and interception at the same time as the steal is the time difference, which is unguardable, and the opponent has no time to retreat to the position to organize the defense, so it is inevitable to lose the ball, as long as the opponent's key pass and the final kick are not at the level of the Chinese team.
Martin Taylor was already too excited to make a sound, how could he not see that this way of intercepting (tackling) passes was the stunt of the recently retired Italian legend Andrea Pirlo, showing in a 18-year-old Chinese player, Taylor didn't know what words to use to praise this teenage talent.
Alex Sanchez excitedly ran to the corner and celebrated his goal in the derby by kneeling, and his teammates behind him also excitedly gathered around him to congratulate him, and Tan Xibi also happily joined in, taking the opportunity to touch the head of the Chilean thigh, which was a little shorter than himself.
With a two-goal lead in the first half, the process of both goals was spectacular, and the entire crowd at the Emirates Stadium (except for the Tottenham fans) sang and danced with joy, applauding and shouting.
On the Tottenham bench, the glazed-eyed Son Xingmin was speechless.
Although he didn't play, sitting on the chair and watching Tan Xibi's performance, Sun Xingmin was thinking all the time that if he faced Tan Xibi, dribbling the ball like this and dribbling like that, would he break through him and be stealed.
If you don't play and go head-to-head with him, you won't know that Tan Xibi's defense is strong.
Seeing that the starting teammates were all deflated in front of Tan Xibi, no matter how arrogant Sun Xingmin was, he knew that he was not the opponent of this Chinese teenager, what an Asian derby, an opponent in chess, thank the head coach for not letting him start, otherwise the face of the Republic of Korea will be lost.
"If he participates in the World Preliminaries, it may be the Huaguo team that will qualify." Son Heung-min suddenly came up with this idea.
With the same idea as him, it was the Chinese fans who watched this game, the better Tan Xibi performed, the more their hearts hurt, and even dripping blood.
How many years will it take to produce a Tan Xibi, how can such a genius quit the national team, has the Chinese Football Association eaten?
"Wall, you don't know how to do this trick Mesut, where did you learn it?" Héctor Bellerin and Tan Xibi hooked their shoulders and walked back, and the tacit understanding between the two just now resulted in the second goal, in addition to wearing the same pants on a good relationship, there was also repeated training on the training ground.
Seeing the intimacy between the two, Alex Iwobi on the bench was jealous, and his resentful eyes glanced at Wenger, Boss, I'm going to play.
"Moussa's mistake was too fatal." The Tottenham assistant coach told Mauricio Pochettino, "You can't play on the wings, you can't get through the middle, and I'd suggest Fernando, who can use his header advantage to get around Wall's frontal defence, and he doesn't have air defense." ”
"It's too early to make a substitution, but call Harry, Fernando and Sun to warm up, and if you still can't open up in the second half, play early." Pochettino feels that making changes too early will undermine the confidence and morale of his players, is that not denying that there is a problem with the starting line-up he fielded?
However, the assistant coach has a saying that is right, Tan Xibi, who is good at defense, actually has two shortcomings, one is air defense, which includes air physical confrontation in addition to headers. The other is the physical confrontation when defending, Tan Xibi never chooses a close-fitting defensive method when defending, his upper grab completely relies on accurate prediction, so unlike the black and hard back, Tan Xibi does not need to make physical contact with the opponent to complete the steal and marking.
"It's strange, how does Wall's passing look more and more like that guy?" Pochettino was puzzled, he never dreamed that Tan Xibi had worshipped Andrea Pirlo as a teacher, otherwise he might have sent a player to redeem him.
However, is it useful to use a special redemption tactic to restrict Tan Xibi?
Although he is from Pirlo, there are still differences in the technical characteristics of the two, if there is a difference, that is, Tan Xibi is a strengthened version of Pirlo, because his athleticism, mobility, and running ability are stronger, not to mention his defensive ability, which is why Pirlo needs to be accompanied by a person who does dirty work, and Tan Xibi doesn't need it, because he can do dirty work himself.
Such a way to run, grab and pass, by the way, and a terrifying long-range shooting ability, how do you use the kraft candy trick?
Someone has studied the defensive tactics against Pirlo, and there are two strategies, one is to put direct pressure on Pirlo himself, and the other is not to put pressure on Pirlo but to mark Pirlo's passing route.
But Arsenal's passers are not only Tan Xibi, but also Mesut Ozil, a master bread feeder, and Alex Sanchez, an attacker who can also feed cakes.
With so many people who can pass the ball, how many can you keep an eye on? Do you want to stay in formation?
Then stare at the passing target?
That's also not reliable, defense is always the passive side, and man-to-man tactics have long since withdrawn from the stage of football history.
Pochettino has a bit of a headache, put the bus, his team is two goals behind, don't want to pull it back?
Don't put it, Tan Xibi's pass is such a chicken thief, you don't know if he will pass or break through with the ball, how to defend it?
Pochettino suddenly looked at Son Heung-min on the bench, all of whom were Asian, and maybe Son had a way to curb the troublesome No. 28.
If Sun Xingmin knew that Pochettino had placed his hopes for dealing with Tan Xibi on him, he would definitely hug his thighs and cry: "I can't do it, I really can't do it!" ”
"Wall!" Arsène Wenger stood on the sidelines with a smile and a thumbs up to Tan.
Tan Xibi also gave Wenger a thumbs up in response, and then shouted to his teammates around him: "Guys, good luck, eat chicken tonight!" ”
The animal on Tottenham's emblem is not a bird, but a chicken.
