Led by Italian referee Nicola Rizzoli, Arsenal players and Real Madrid players led their little caddies out of the players' tunnel and onto the turf to the singing of the Champions League theme song. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After Gebi, the Real Madrid players shook hands with the Gunners players one by one, and every Real Madrid player after shaking hands with Zhang Zhetian had the same feeling: "This Chinese, the palm is so big!" ”

Then, the captains of both sides guessed the side, and the hosts Arsenal were given the right to kick off first.

"A waistless formation with two defenders and two forwards? Interesting, it seems that I guessed wrong before, Arsna's new tactical formation is actually based on the double back, according to the situation to arrange the midfield manpower, no matter how arranged, this new tactic of two back will always have one more person than the opponent. In the stands, a bald and bearded middle-aged man stared at the stadium with bright eyes, and in his hand, there was a small notebook and pen, which seemed to be someone from a certain team who came to inspect the game or spy on the enemy.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, this two-back formation is not so much that only Arsenal can use it, but that only the palm can use it. Without him, no one can use this tactic. ”

If there were veteran fans around, they would surely exclaim: "Isn't this Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola?" ”

After the Champions League exit, Manchester City only has two competitions left, the Premier League and the FA Cup, and this month, except for the only one double game a week that has ended, the rest are all one game a week, so Manchester City coach Josep Guardiola, who has no games in midweek, naturally has time to come to the Emirates Stadium to watch the Champions League drama.

Seeing Arsenal's starting lineup and formation in this Champions League, the Guardiola who was happy to see the hunting heart thought about why Arsenal didn't have a full-time midfielder, while concentrating on watching the upcoming battle of the British and Western giants.

"Soon, you will find out why Arsenal don't want a midfielder and how Arsenal can solve the problem of defending on the wings." This is a question on everyone's mind.

Rizzoli blew the opening whistle, and Alex Sanchez, who was standing at the tee point in the center circle, made a direct pass to Zhang Zhetian, who was standing very forward.

If you don't know how to press tactics in the high position, you are not a giant, don't think that the high pressing tactics are the patent of Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur, and this tactic has been passed from Europe.

Therefore, Real Madrid immediately adopted a high pressing tactic after kick-off, which was expected by Gunners manager Arsène Wenger and Zhang Zhetian.

Compared with the previous two matches with Napoli, Real Madrid has made a lot of progress in the front court pressing recently.

First, a number of players, including Karim Benzema and Toni Kroos, have increased their output, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale also playing the role of full-back.

Second, the synchronization and coordination of the three midfielders in defense have increased, Luka Modric and Kroos scramble, Casemiro chose to drag back to protect the defensive line, resulting in too much distance between the three is rare, which effectively avoids Modric's lack of physique.

Thirdly, the overall front remained fairly compact, with the mobility of Nacho Fernandez and Sergio Ramos playing a key role in this.

In this game, Zinedine Zidane put forward a new requirement for high-position pressing tactics, first, when pressing in the front court, in addition to grabbing the ball, he also had to prevent a person from playing the ball in the backfield, which was to slap Zhetian, so Zidane specially arranged for Benzema to harass Zhangzhetian; Second, when Arsenal makes a long pass to the front, it must be unified to create offside, or close to the opponent, force the opponent to foul, and pay attention to grabbing the second landing point; Third, if the front court is unfavorable, immediately turn to a low defense, mainly intercept and cut off the opponent's passing route, try not to foul in the half of the court, and give the opponent a set-piece.

How will Arsenal cope without a midfielder?

After taking the ball, Zhang Zhetian faced Benzema's up-and-down grab, and instead of quickly kicking the ball to his nearby teammates, he played the tricks of a midfielder.

Yes, under the gaze of nearly 60,000 viewers and hundreds of millions of viewers in front of the TV screen, Zhang Zhetian made a "croquette" and left the robbed Benzema behind.

"Oh my God, this Chinese goalkeeper is too bold, right?"

"He's not afraid that the ball will be broken and my stupid cat will hit the empty goal?"

"The problem is, he didn't get off the ball."

……

The above is the exclamation of Melinger.

"Ma Ma asked me why I was kneeling in front of the TV, and I was scared by the fake goalkeeper."

"6666, if Ikita had Brother Tian's outstanding skills, he would not have been broken by Uncle Mi back then."

"Croquettes! Deep-fried croquettes! Deep-fried croquettes! Say the important thing three times! ”

"Xiaobai's stunt appeared at the Emirates Stadium, there is a sense of Barcelona vs. Real Madrid. Is there wood? Is there wood? ”

……

This is what domestic fans say online.

Because Benzema is responsible for pressing the palm, Ronaldo and Bel on both sides are adducted against Laurent Colcellny and Rob Holding, and the wingbacks and two midfielders in the middle are also matched by Real Madrid players one by one.

Mesut Ozil and Alex Sanchez were able to keep their hands on both of them at the same time, with Oliver Giroud and Theo Walcott crushing Nacho and Ramos as they didn't stay up front, but moved with their positions, keeping them almost parallel to them.

With Zhang Zhetian's pass, a thought immediately flashed through those who knew the industry: this Chinese goalkeeper has a terrible ability to read the game.

Because Zhang Zhetian passed directly to Ozil, who was unmarked in the middle circle, and Ozil moved with the ball, attracting Casemiro, and at the moment when the opponent pounced, he immediately passed diagonally to Sanchez behind Casemiro.

After the Chilean striker got the ball, he soared with speed, forcing Nacho and Ramos to keep retreating, plus Giroud and Theo Walcoat who were close to the two of them, and in less than a minute, Arsenal formed a 3v2 situation in the middle of Real Madrid's defensive third.

Casemiro started to chase back, but instead of chasing Sanchez, he ran in the direction of Nacho.

"This time the counterattack failed." Zhangzhetian, who saw clearly from behind, shook his head, turned around and walked back to his own penalty area, passing by Benzema with a stunned face.

"It's worthy of Real Madrid, the first team in the Champions League, Real Saren killed one, Barcelona is out, and now, it's the turn of the last one." Licking his lips, a smile on the corner of his mouth flashed in the eyes of Zhang Zhetian.
