For the core, it is impossible to adapt without the ball, and walking around the pitch is a kind of laziness in the eyes of fans, such as Mesut Ozil. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But for the players, it is very, very difficult to change the gap and habit change from controlling their teammates to running by themselves.

There is only one soccer ball on the football field, and it is a very complicated science to pinch together a large number of players who need the ball.

Just look at the results of Leao Messi and Eden Hazard dominating the ball in their respective teams to see that the core without the ball will no longer be the core, and the thighs will no longer be the thighs.

Football experts and fans all over the world know Pep Guardiola's football philosophy and tactical thinking, and a very important core of it is the pursuit of the ultimate ball possession.

In the eyes of the Spaniards, the ball must be firmly controlled at their feet and possession must not be abandoned.

Therefore, whether it is in Barcelona, Bayern Munich, or Manchester City, Guardiola's midfield selection criteria are not tall, as long as they are short, of course, provided that the short man's foot skills are excellent.

That's why the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edin Dzeko are not well received by Guardiola, and the Manchester City trident is a single quick player.

At Manchester City, the real core is not the backbone of the back, the team's first captain Vincent Kompany, nor the defender Yaya Toure before the arrival of Guardiola, but the Spanish midfielder Silva.

Only he can comprehend and implement Pep Guardiola's tactical intentions, and with or without Espanyol on the pitch, Manchester City are two teams entirely.

Arsène Wenger knows this, and so does the man in front of goal.

You can't let this little Spaniard get the ball in comfort!

French defender Coquelin kept in mind what Wenger said before the game, in this game, Coquelin's task is to become a plaster on Silva's body, when there is no ball, find a way to make him unable to get the ball, when there is a ball, so that he can not get the ball smoothly, at least not let the ball pass to the front.

Seeing Coquelin stalking Silva, Guardiola frowned.

This is a counter-play tactic used to limit the normal operation of Manchester City's engine, and it is actually very easy to crack this tactic, which is to transfer the ball.

Pep Guardiola made an immediate decision and shouted at Kevin De Bruyne on the sidelines: "Switch places with David and call Aguero to pull back to assist!" ”

When Silva retreated to a position alongside Fernando Fernandinho, De Bruyne moved to the front to get the ball, Aguero retreated to De Bruyne's side, and the voice of the clapping voice also sounded on the pitch: "Xhaka assists Francis and Elneny to keep the number 10 and 17, Alex, Ozil, keep an eye on the number 21, leave him alone on the 25th!" ”

The corners of Fernandinho's mouth twitched, and three black lines floated on his forehead.

Nima, Lao Tzu is despised by a Chinese brat!

Guardiola looked at Zhang Zhetian in surprise, he didn't expect Zhang Zhetian to immediately respond and make adjustments with shouts. Due to the different levels of English of his teammates, Zhang Zhetian used English, German, Spanish and French respectively, showing off his super language skills.

What was even more surprising was that the teammates on the field actually obeyed Zhang Zhetian's command and immediately took action.

'It should be Arsene Wenger's arrangement. Pep Guardiola's heart is like a mirror, and at the same time, he is secretly shocked by Wenger's trust in Zhang Zhetian.

If the team can't find a good coach to lead the team, they must have a leader on the pitch who can not only play on the pitch, but also be the team's "head coach" on the pitch.

On the pitch, while the captain's armband can only stay on one man's arm, he is not necessarily the one who can best lead the team.

Sometimes, the team needs a player who has a calm brain, an iron will, and who can command and lead the team on the field when the team is difficult.

Although he is not a coach, he is the coach who plays football on the football field.

Fans who are familiar with the 100-year history of world football will know that this sentence refers to a generation of German superstars, the "Emperor of Football" Franz Beckenbauer.

Many fans know the legend of the West German team winning the championship in 1974, but few people know that after the host lost 0-1 to the East German team in the first game, the disadvantage of the division greatly reduced the confidence of the whole team, and even the coach was disheartened that when he was hopeless to win the World Cup, he participated in the World Cup for the third time, and the emperor who had reached the peak of his experience, technology and organizational ability stood up at a critical moment and became the spiritual pillar of the whole team.

It was he who took over the command from the coach and arranged his own formation, deciding who would play and what tactics to play.

While these practices angered individual teammates and even coaches, later results proved his heroism in stepping up at crucial moments was correct and commendable.

In the final, they defeated the Dutch team, led by the favorite Johan Cruyff, who are famous for their all-attacking and all-defensive tactics, and won the first Hercules Cup.

"Does Arsene Wenger see in him the potential to be an on-field coach like Beckenbauer?" Pep Guardiola's eyes widened as he watched Zhang Zhetian erratically point his fingers and shout on the line of the penalty area.

And on the coach's bench of the Arsenal bench, Wenger and others leaned on the back of the chair, as steady as Mount Tai, as if no matter what happened on the field, they would not get up.

As the game progressed, watching the fierce battles on the pitch, Guardiola's new tactics against Arsenal gradually became clear, but there was still a question that remained unresolved, since the wing-backs were set up, why not use a three-centre-back system, but a two-centre-back?

Although when defending, the two wing-backs can drop back to the full-back position and form a defensive formation with the two central defenders in a back four, but if this is the case, what is the point of having a wing-back? Second, the double central defenders can't solve the problem of Arsenal's defense in the middle and the difficulty of playing the ball at the back.

In the 8th minute, Willredo Caballero had to kick a big foot under the pressure of the opponent, and the ball was not far away and fell to the center circle.

Gunners defender Mustafi threw down the defender and rushed to the center circle to top the ball, but it was at the feet of Fernandinho, and the "flying bird" volleyed the ball forward, just behind Mustafi, and Sane on the side took the opportunity to chase the ball, and it was about to form a single knife.

Without waiting for the Manchester City fans to cheer, they saw the fast-attacking Zhang Zhetian kick the ball high to the sideline.

The Arsenal fans in the stands were about to applaud this wonderful strike, when they saw Zhang Zhetian running up to Mustafi, putting his arms around his neck and whispering something in his ear.
