Whether it is a spectator watching the game or watching the game on TV, computer, or mobile phone screens, it is difficult to see the movement of every player in the entire stadium due to the limited range of human eye and camera perspective. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It may be necessary to be above the Emirates Stadium to get a bird's-eye view of the stadium and see the routes and positions of the attacking and defensive sides.

Josep Guardiola tried to adjust his perspective to cover most of the pitch, and when he saw Arsenal's movement of the frontcourt player after the ball landed at the feet of Zhang Zhetian, the master tactician's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands: "I see! ”

Laurent Koscielny and Schkoderan Mustafi were the only two defenders at the back, running to the junction of the halfway line and the centre circle respectively, pinning down City's two wingers, Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane, away from Arsenal's attacking third and Sergio Aguero who was rushing towards the sky.

In this game, Héctor Bellerin and Nacho Monreal, who were thought to be playing as wing-backs, rushed to both sides of the Manchester City penalty area, causing Manchester City's two full-backs, Jesús Navas and Gunners' veteran Gael Klich, to complain to themselves, because Alex Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, who were originally in the front, were on the side and established a link with Bellerin and Monreal, so that the two Manchester City full-backs will face a one-on-two disadvantage.

In order to avoid being blown up on the wing, Manchester City's two back midfielders, Fernando Fernandinho and Kevin De Bruyne, had to pull to the wing to assist, but in this way, the middle will be exposed to Arsenal fire, Granit Xhaka and Mohamed Elneny will be unguarded near the arc of the penalty area, directly threatening the Manchester City goal.

Some people say that there is only one lone striker in the penalty area, Danny Welbeck, and Manchester City can pull out a central defender?

Is that one less person to pull forward David Silva back?

Didn't see him tangled up in Gunners midfielder Francis Coquelin?

Assuming that the defence is theoretically played in a one-on-one man-to-man manner, one would be surprised to find that no matter what they do, Manchester City will always have one less defender than Arsenal.

Although it is only theoretical, in practice, the off-ball movement of the attacker will not lead the defender to one-on-one marking, which will disrupt the overall defensive system and expose holes.

Arsenal's attack this time, the number of people invested in the front field is more than Manchester City, although more people does not mean that there is an advantage, because half of the stadium is so big, more people will crowd the space, once you enter the rhythm of positional battles, you will lose the attacking space, and you will waste more time to create offensive space.

Football is always a battle for time and space, and whoever finds space faster will have better chances.

Don't look at the description of the reactions and responses of Arsenal's 10 players and opponents in the front field after receiving the ball, in fact, all this happened in a short moment.

It was at this moment that seemed to have been premeditated, when Aguero was about to get close, Zhang Zhetian suddenly kicked the ball behind him, and then strode in front of him, quickly leaving Aguero behind.

When he was wrong with Aguero, the bodies of the two sides made contact, and Zhang Zhetian's body passed without hindrance, but Aguero was staggered by the collision, and the body confronted, and Aguero was defeated.

In order to cut off the contact point of Zhang Zhetian, Sterling and Sane followed up with Koscielny and Mustafi, so after passing Aguero, Zhang Zhetian was in front of an open space, and before Sterling and Sane could think about whether to step forward, Zhang Zhetian only took the ball to the arc of the center circle, and passed the ball to Xhaka accurately.

Because when Xhaka and Elneny hit in front of the penalty area, De Bruyne and Fernandinho were still hesitating whether to pull the side to help defend or intercept the enemy in the middle, and did not close the distance with them.

In the second minute, Arsenal took the lead in shooting, Xhaka fired a long-range shot that missed the left post of the goal, scaring Wilfredo Caballero into a cold sweat.

Xhaka shook his head and gave a thumbs up to Zhang Zhetian as he turned around to thank him for the good ball he had delivered.

After passing the ball, Zhang Zhetian, who ran back to the arc of the penalty area, smiled slightly, and also gave a thumbs up to comfort him that he shot well, although he missed, but it was not bad to scare the opponent.

Then, Zhang Zhetian looked to the sidelines, with a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.

He knows that with Guardiola's wisdom, it won't take long to see the special features of Arsène Wenger's change of formation, but to find a way to restrain this new tactic, Zhang Zhetian believes that no matter how powerful Guardiola is, even if he can find a way to defeat the enemy, he will not be in this game.

First, the time is too short, if you want to target Arsenal's new tactics, you have to overturn Manchester City's tactical play today, which is not a game that can be done in one game.

Second, Guardiola does not have to worry that this tactical style of play will make his team fail miserably, because the use of new tactics in a short period of time, whether it is the understanding of new tactics or the run-in between players, before the tactics are fully formed, Arsenal at this stage, can only play X**T, because every position of this tactic, the requirements for player ability, technical characteristics and division of responsibilities, are different from the past, Wenger himself understands in his heart that in this new tactical system, the whole team, only a few people. Palm Joss is one, Mesut Ozil and Sanchez, as well, Xhaka.

Well, you read that right, it's this controversial Xhaka who is nicknamed the "King of Cards" by fans.

'It was a clever move to free Xhaka from the midfield position.

Pep Guardiola touched his chin and looked at Arsene Wenger, who was on the Arsenal bench.

"Boss, it's a great move to hand over the task of playing the ball at the back and let Xhaka be the fulcrum of the midfield." Assistant Coach Steve Boulder exclaimed.

Creating a threatening kick in the opening period, City certainly didn't expect Arsenal to get into the groove so quickly and catch them off guard.

If it weren't for the fact that Xhaka, who is good at long-range shots, hadn't warmed up at the beginning of the game, this unmarked long-range shot would not have missed.

Tricks?

Arsene Wenger's eyes were on the pitch, and his eyes flashed with a complicated look.

Letting Xhaka play in midfield, reducing his defensive responsibilities and allowing him to play on the edge of the box with his expertise in short and medium passes and long-range shots is the proposal of Zhang Zhetian.

Because in Menxing, they are "teammates" who have never crossed paths, one is in the first team and the other is in the youth team, but Zhang Zhetian knows him very well.
