Arsène Wenger was bombarded with a barrage of questions from his assistant Steve Boulder, and he didn't know how to explain Tan Xibi's fake message against Manchester City, which had been set up before the game to play against Manchester City.

The whole world knows how arrogant the French are, and if there is a manager in world football who hates bus tactics, Arsene Wenger, who likes attacking football, is definitely one of them.

Years of perseverance, and BIG6's miserable record, many of which were big scores, especially the 0-4 away defeat in the third round of the league, made Wenger no longer so resistant to the bus and defense.

In fact, over the years, in the game with strong teams at home and abroad, Wenger has not put the bus, in the game of defeating strong opponents, the Gunners, who have always attached importance to ball possession, not only are not Arsenal in the game, not even Arsenal in possession, but the Gunners won.

But at that time, there was a healthy Santiago Cazorla, after the Spaniard was bedridden for a long time, Arsenal became a giant in the eyes of people who are not strong or strong, and they are not strong when they are weak, not only playing the top six opponents are fearful, but also the record of the sworn enemy in the same city in recent years, it is also rare to be at a disadvantage, since the away victory over Tottenham Hotspur in 2014, it has been six consecutive league games (4 draws, 2 losses) without a win, and last season was the first league ranking below the opponent in more than 20 years.

Who is the culprit behind Arsenal's gradual loss of the status of a giant, from the perennial four-in-four to the breaking of the "top four" golden body last season?

The huge debt that came with building the Emirates Stadium?

Wenger?

Major shareholder Stan Kroenke?

Over the past few years, including expert journalists, gun fans at home and abroad, anti-Wenger, anti-Kroenke, all kinds of reasons seem to be justified, in fact, there is an egg, the club is yours? Are you the boss?

It is said that Wenger is conservative and backward and can't keep up with the times, in fact, most of these people are fans of Arsenal's undefeated championship era and beyond, they will always see only the surface, only a few people who know the roots, know that Wenger is one of the few tactical masters in world football.

Every coach has his own characteristics, and they all say that Jose Mourinho and Josep Guardiola have strong tactical ability and are especially good at on-the-spot adjustment, but when they fail, they are still not "inferior to themselves" by many experts and fans.

Arsene Wenger's on-the-spot adjustments have been criticized, but insiders know very well, especially in coaching circles, how high the tactical level of this Frenchman is, otherwise he will change to a back three last season? After introducing Tan Xibi this season, he changed to 433, which the Gunners never played?

Especially not long after the transformation of 433, still during the run-in period, he dared to use it in this crucial game, do you say he is bold? Or bold? Or bold?

Here I won't talk about the question of who Arsenal's current situation is, otherwise, the water will not be clear in 100,000 words.

Wenger generously said that it doesn't matter if the coach is an outsider, the players who are fighting on the front line have the most intuitive feeling of the situation on the field, plus Arsenal is the leader at the moment, even if they lose the goal, at least it is just to return to the starting point, Wenger sat firmly on the Diaoyu Island, concentrating on the performance of the Gunners after swinging the bus.

At a glance, it is terrible, before the bus, the Arsenal defense is in danger, after the bus, the enemy thunders and rains, in the eyes of outsiders, Manchester City is still suppressing the opponent, but in the eyes of insiders, Manchester City can not create a chance to threaten the ball.

The reason is that Tan Xibi retreated from the midfield position to the central defender position, because Manchester City does not have a high school forward, so most of the attacks are ground balls, Tan Xibi is in the middle or even behind Laurent Koscielny and Nacho Monreal when defending, mainly to implement leakage blocking, which is what Tan Xibi is good at.

Tan Xibi's advantage, as mentioned earlier, is that he has a good vision and a sense of the big picture, so he has an extraordinary understanding of the game, which is why Wenger thinks he is a high-ball player who plays with his brain.

The reason why Tan Xibi made this choice was that after he scored a goal, in the stage of Manchester City's counterattack and his own passive defense, he came to the conclusion that Manchester City's overall strength was indeed higher than the team, and it was very unwise to play against the attack.

Tan Xibi knows very well that he is not a god, and he can only continue to consume his physical strength by making up for leaks everywhere, and in the second half, he still has the strength to make an accurate defense?

Therefore, he immediately decided to take advantage of the fact that the opponent's offensive was fierce but had not yet equalized, and pretended to pass the holy decree to put the bus, and the bus is a knowledge, the bus should be placed well, and the head coach needs to make a standing arrangement, so Tan Xibi deliberately ran to the sidelines to call Wenger, and then ran back to the field, fooling his teammates how to stand and run when defending.

And he also used Manchester City's tactical style of attacking mainly on the ground, retreating his position to the central defender, or even the position of the scavenger, to give full play to his own characteristics and resolve the threat of the penalty area, this change can be said to be very successful, mobilizing teammates to cooperate in defense At the same time, Tan Xibi also saved a lot of physical strength, turning into a sigh in the penalty area, so that every attack of the opponent was futile.

Pep Guardiola was shocked to see if this perfect make-up had come from Arsene Wenger, but it was too late to think about it because it would have been a morale hit if he hadn't equalised in the first half.

Relying on Arsenal's lack of Mesut Ozil, who can pass the ball, and Granit Xhaka, who can pass the ball accurately, (although Tan Xibi's long pass is also good, but Guardiola believes that he is not a threat to himself, and the success of the past few years has made him more or less famous players), Guardiola waved his hand and ordered a central defender to press up, increasing the attacking manpower, leaving only one central defender at the back.

It's a risky, bold and crazy tactical adjustment, but that's the kind of guy Pep Guardiola is.

But what he didn't know was that he fell for Tan Xibi.

If he knew that Tan Xibi was doing this to reduce the number of his defenders, if he had the ability to predict and know the subsequent results, he would not dare to do so.

Of course, Guardiola doesn't know Tan Xibi's intentions at the moment, he still doesn't know anything about the culture of the big eastern countries, and there is an idiom in Huaguo that invites you into the urn.

So Nicolas Otamendi rushed up with a rage to shake the Sigh as a wall hammer, but he didn't know that the Sigh had a counterattack in addition to the defensive function.

"If one of their centre-backs runs into our backfield, Alexander, Theo, you run forward and run to the front of you!"

This is the opportunity for Tan Xibi to "explain" the on-the-spot adjustment of the leader, and to call Alexandre Lacazette and Theo Walcott over for face-to-face teaching.

When things turned out to be as Tan Xibi expected, Lacazette and Walcott looked back in shock, and then ran forward desperately.

Tan Xibi made a brilliant tackle to snatch the ball from the feet of Sergio Aguero......

(If you want to know what happened, and see the next breakdown.) ）
