Arsenal brought not only the new tactics that many people saw as strange, but also the style of the game. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the past, after losing the ball in the front court, or when the opponent held the ball in the back court, only Alex Sanchez ran and actively fought in the front court at all costs, but no other teammates pressed and surrounded him at the same time, so Sanchez was often seen stomping his feet on the field angrily, waving his arms to vent his dissatisfaction with the opponent.

But in this game, not only did the frontcourt players actively run to execute high pressing tactics and participate in the backcourt defense, but the defenders showed long-lost toughness when defending.

Although due to the lack of running-in, the Gunners players made some mistakes when running without the ball and passing and receiving the ball, fortunately, Zhang Zhetian undermined Manchester City's counter-attack after the counter-attack several times through a wide range of runs outside the penalty area, and minimized the error tolerance rate generated by the new tactic.

When switching from attack to defense, Arsenal will adopt two ways to achieve this, one is to make a long pass to the wingback in the backfield, and continue to put pressure on the opponent through the wing; One is the goalkeeper line, according to the technical characteristics of the center, either the header ferries to create opportunities, or the direct pass is open behind him, and the speed is used to form a single knife to face the goalkeeper.

Either way, the Gunners' attack will be the starting point.

With the idea of studying Arsenal's new tactics at this time, and deciding to make a post-match appointment, Josep Guardiola began to figure out how to crack the 3-5-3 tactic.

"The operation is not very smooth, some details do not seem to be perfect, it seems that this new tactic should have just come out, it has not been polished into a shape, and we still have a chance." Pep Guardiola said secretly.

"Mikel, what do you think we should do?" Pep Guardiola, who returned to his seat, said to assistant coach Mikel Arteta next to him.

The former Gunners captain was invited by Pep Guardiola to join the Manchester City coaching staff after retiring as one of Guardiola's assistant coaches.

Arteta was the brains of the team's midfield and the metronome of the team, whether at Everton or Arsenal when he was a player, and Guardiola admired this compatriot who played with his brain very much, and regarded him as his successor, so he valued him very much and often exchanged tactics with him.

Mikel Arteta was puzzled by his old club's starting line-up for this game, and in his understanding it was not Arsène Arsène Arsene Wenger's style to suddenly switch to a retro two-back formation that Arsenal had always loved to be consistent.

But what he didn't know was that it was precisely because of the arrival of Zhang Zhetian that Wenger gambled on the second half of his coaching career and mustered the greatest courage to change formations.

Unlike laymen, insiders can see that Arsenal's double back is a real double back, even if the two wingbacks sink into the fullback position when defending, but when the attack and defense are converted, they will press very forward, which is not the fullback's style of play at all.

"Boss, how do I think Arsenal seems to have one more person than us, two defenders, two defenders......" At the end, after a moment of silence, Arteta's eyes lit up, and he looked at Guardiola with a smile on his face in shock: "Wrong! I was wrong! It's not a double back, it's a back three! ”

Guardiola smiled and nodded with satisfaction, this disciple did not disappoint him, and finally discovered the biggest feature of Arsenal's new tactics.

"Oh my God, boss, did Coach Wenger really come up with this tactic?" The shock in Arteta's heart is completely comparable to an eight-magnitude earthquake, and the French coach, who has always liked stability and is not good at using odds, dared to change formations in this important game and use a new and very risky tactic, is this still the football professor he subconsciously knows?

'I think a lot can happen during the two-week international break. Pep Guardiola sighed: "I always thought that in this world, only I liked to innovate tactically, but I didn't expect Mr. Wenger to walk ahead of me. ”

Arteta involuntarily looked at the Arsenal coach's box, and the white-haired, wrinkled Gunners coach sat lightly in his chair, with a hint of fear and admiration flashing in his eyes.

It's been almost twenty-one years since he lived at Arsenal, there have been joys, there have been sorrows, there have been joys, there have been angers, and in the whole Premier League, apart from Sir Alex Ferguson, who has higher qualifications than him?

In this increasingly impetuous and impatient football circle, can he coach a team for more than ten years like Ferguson and Arsene Wenger?

Shaking his head, he was still early from leaving the school, and it was too early to think about it now.

"Boss, the heart of this tactic, is the Chinese, with Alexis Sanchez and Welbeck up front, his incomparably accurate long balls are a big threat to us, and we can't foul in the defensive area and give him a direct free-kick. Normally, we have to be close to the most dangerous opponent, but not with him, who is the goalkeeper and is too far back. ”

Pep Guardiola is pleased with the fact that Arteta has essentially revealed the key to Arsenal's new tactics.

Yes, when the tactical core of the whole team, the commander on the pitch is the goalkeeper, he becomes part of the tactics, 2-5-3 becomes 3-5-3, and there is always one more person than the opponent in attack and defense, this tactic is basically unsolvable.

In Pep Guardiola's view, this is an epoch-making tactic, the fourth revolution in football tactics, and from the current point of view, at least ten years ahead of this era.

This tactic is only used by Arsenal, because Zhang Zhetian is at Arsenal.

Only Zhang Zhetian can use this tactic.

It can be said that before the emergence of the next Zhangzhetian type of goalkeeper, this tactic is unique, and it is the most advanced and powerful tactic in the world that belongs to Zhangzhetian alone.

Fortunately, this tactic is not completely honed into a shape at all now, otherwise, there would be no need for Zhang Zhetian to command his teammates' runs with constant shouting.

Therefore, Manchester City still has a chance, otherwise, this tactic is at the full level, and Guardiola can only raise his hand and surrender.

"However, it is obvious that this tactic should have just been trained for a short time, and it has not been run in for a long time at all, so the Gunners players have made a lot of mistakes when executing, and the Chinese goalkeeper, uh, called Zhetian Zhang, will not always use his voice to direct their movements. We can speed up the tempo, faster than them, and disrupt their rhythm. Arteta has hit the nail on the head in pointing out the current shortcomings of Arsenal's new tactics.

Pep Guardiola patted his lover on the shoulder, nodded at him, then got up and walked to the sidelines, taking advantage of the dead ball to call David Silva in front of him.

"Speed up, whether it's running or passing, be faster than them, just pull out the gap, don't be afraid of mistakes, don't be afraid of shooting, be resolute to hit in!" Pep Guardiola has been confident in adapting his tactics and believes City will have a chance to equalise at least today until Arsenal have honed their new tactics into shape.

I have Sergio Aguero, a world-class goalscorer who has won the league's Golden Boot and Silver Boot, and his strength is definitely not below my beloved Leon Messi, he is a super striker who can score 30+ goals in one season!

I'm sure you can be the first to break the Ten Fingers of Zhangzhe Tian!
