Arsene Wenger's order to Descartes was simple and straightforward, limiting his range of movement to the opposition penalty area, leaving a large amount of space up front for Cesc Fabregas to cut in at the back, and then solving the problem with this back-and-forth combination.

Of course, this is not a long-term solution, because no striker can guarantee that his range of movement will always be in the opponent's penalty area, and even Inzaghi will have to find some free time to wander around, right?

As long as the opponent is not a fool, an offside position can easily end your attack, so this method is destined to be a stopgap measure.

Birmingham retracted the whole line after taking the lead and gave Descartes time and space to stay in the box, and for a dozen minutes, he was more of a pure centre-forward than Van Persie, completely in the middle of the opposition goalkeeper Mike Brown. Taylor's eyelids were dangling, and Taylor's eyelids were jumping.

Taylor's fears turned out to be true, as Descartes lost the chance to organise in the box, but he didn't lose his killer instincts, and in the 79th minute he was keen enough to shovel Rosicky's cross into the Birmingham City goal before the opposition defenders did.

The dull game ended in a 1-1 draw, with Birmingham having every reason to cheer on his disciples for a draw away from home to a mighty Arsenal, but the draw clearly left them a little demoralised for Arsenal.

Because on the other field, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick, and the Red Devils slaughtered Newcastle 6-0 at home, pulling the score back to two points.

A difference of 2 points. With the slightest slip-up, United will catch up and make the league title a new elusive.

The professor no longer dares to slack off, and now he is facing the question of redistributing the ball in the front court, Descartes or Fabregas, who is in charge?

This question must be understood.

If the professor doesn't understand it, then the Arsenal players on the pitch will definitely not understand, and the players on the pitch will definitely not understand who will organize, and others will definitely figure it out. Everyone understands this.

So the reality of the situation forced the professor to figure it out. And we have to figure it out quickly.

Of course, such a thing will not be as simple as imagined, with two organizers, one in the front and one in the back. People won't be competing for positions. People who think this way. Must be someone who doesn't have much research on football.

It's like in the Lakers team that year, O'Neal wanted the ball, and Kobe Bryant also wanted the ball. What can a Zen master do? Is it just a simple and crude order O'Neal or Kobe Bryant to make the sacrifice?

The Zen master just failed to deal with the problem, and as a result, a pair of good matches made in heaven parted ways, and the Zijin Dynasty fell apart, and the following years were spent struggling with ups and downs.

Arsene Wenger is a smart man and he certainly wouldn't choose such a seemingly simple approach that would in fact pose a major risk to the team.

He was thinking of a tactic that would satisfy both of them at the same time.

Cesc Fabregas is good at short passes, likes to plug in, and if he is fixed in the midfield position, it will definitely make him less powerful; Descartes, on the other hand, liked to run freely in the front court, he was not only a killer with a keen sense of smell, but also a source of lethal killing, and it would be a terrible thing to ask him to wait for the ball like Adebayo, and the professor now thinks about how to balance the best of both of them, and how they can be most effective when they are both on the field at the same time.

The Professor's initial idea was to focus on Cesc Fabregas, but to transform Descartes into a breakthrough arrow, using his excellent football handling skills to create a killing effect in the heart of the opposition penalty area.

Such a tactic does not need to be designed at all, and there is one of the best blueprints available - Rijkaard's Barcelona.

In the middle of this season, due to the rise of Messi and the indiscretion of life off the field, Ronaldinho has completely fallen out with the Barcelona uniform team, and Barcelona officially announced on December 1 that Ronaldinho will be recuperated for half a year due to injury, which means that the former World Footballer and Barcelona have come to say goodbye.

Due to the departure of Xiao Luo, Xavi officially took over the responsibility of the core of the Barcelona organization, at this time Messi was not the "Mr. " who won three consecutive gold medals, he appeared in the Barcelona team more as Xavi's deputy.

Similar to Descartes, Messi, who is good at breaking and dribbling, also needs the ball, and people often see him on the football field with the ball in a two-person connection, even three people, regardless of how sharp his breakthrough is, we have only one focus on the discussion: such a crazy breakthrough, does he occupy the ball more time than Xavi, the real brain of the team?

So how does Harvey deal with such a situation?

Xavi chose to hide himself behind Messi, and when Messi asked for the ball, he gave; When Messi breaks through, he fills in; When Messi is looking for a combination in the box, he is always in the right place at the right time. It is precisely because of Xavi's just the right cooperation and concession that Messi can be like a fish in water in the front court, and finally achieved the triple Ballon d'Or.

Although Rijkaard's Barcelona is entering the darkest era of the late "Dream Team", it is undeniable that the performances of Messi and Xavi have made the Catalans see a more distant future, and all they lack is a little time.

What the professor wants to see is that there is also such a pair in the Arsenal team - Xiaofa organization, Descartes broke through, and used the superior skills and awareness of the two to create victory opportunities in front of the enemy's goal.

Of course, such a change cannot be achieved overnight, the professor just put him forward, and the specific action steps need to be completed by the coaching staff and the players together.

But what the professor didn't expect was that his beautiful tactical design first hit a wall in Descartes, who didn't want to be a simple breakthrough, he wanted to control the team's offense more comprehensively, and he wanted to try to be a team leader rather than improve his stats.

In fact, Descartes had some things that he had to say to Arsene Wenger. Before Henry left, he told him that Barcelona had been in contact with Xiaofa, and he had been at Arsenal for more than a year, and he knew very well that if Barcelona really called Xiaofa one day, with Xiaofa's family-loving character, he would never stay at Arsenal.

If Xiaofa is really gone, and he is transformed into an assaulter again, what should the team do?

Descartes will never forget the scene when Henry left the Emirates Stadium with tears in his eyes. The captain's words before leaving. As if he was supporting Gu, Descartes couldn't bear to let the captain leave with regret like this, and he had to take control of the team before Barcelona launched an offensive against Xiaofa to minimize the impact of Xiaofa's departure.

Since that's the case. There's no way he'll give up the ball. Arsene Wenger may not be able to understand it for a while. But when it comes to the future, he will definitely forgive his painstaking efforts.

Descartes' toughness deepened the wrinkles on Wenger's forehead, and he tried to convince Descartes. But Descartes calmly told him that he was not Messi, his breakthrough was not at the same level as Messi, and such a transformation was too risky for him and the team.

The professor looked back and was right, Descartes' balls were always hard to break, not because of him, not because of how sharp his dribbles and breakthroughs were, but because he was always able to choose the right way to handle the ball at the right time.

In fact, his ability to create chances with his passing is greater than his ability to break through.

insists on transforming him into a breakthrough maniac like Messi, and the result is likely to become a "four dislikes", unable to break through, and unable to pass the ball.

The question is back to square one, who will make the sacrifice to bring the two back to a certain balance?

The professor tore off dozens of gray hairs on his head, but in the end he couldn't come up with a rut.

With such doubts in mind, Arsenal soon welcomed their next opponents, Fulham.

Expedition to Cravennon Stadium, Arsenal won easily this time, 3:0 made the farmers lament that this year's harvest is gone, but that is because Fulham's strength is too weak, which does not mean that the team's conflict has been resolved.

Not only did the centre-back duo of Galla and Toure ignore each other on the pitch, but Jr. also seemed to be a bit stimulated, and in this game he scored two goals, but Descartes was not rewarded in the second half.

Three days later, Arsenal played back in the Champions League group stage against Steaua Bucharest, and it was Descartes who sent Arsenal to the last 16 with a goal and two assists, but it also overshadowed Cesc Fabregas, who played 70 minutes.

It is worth mentioning that his goals and assists all came after the departure of the French, and Descartes, who finally gained control of the team, looked unstoppable, planning three attacks in 17 minutes, directly burying the Romanian's European journey.

This time, even the media saw the problem, Xiaofa and Descartes seem to be the same, one person performed well in the last game, then the other will shine in the next game, although this makes Arsenal fans feel very happy, but it also shows a question that everyone has not noticed before: Can Descartes and Fabregas really coexist in harmony?

The power of the media was formidable, and they quickly found all the footage from the first half of the season, which shows that Fabregas became the brain and engine of the team at the beginning of the season due to Descartes' sluggishness, and he led Arsenal to a high level in the early stages of the season, even winning 12 in a row.

However, when Descartes returned to form, Cesc Fabregas's stats dropped slightly, and his goals and assists began to appear more in the first half.

Isn't this the evidence of the red fruit?

Although the media has always referred to the two of them as "Gemini", the ironclad facts prove that this is a big problem for the "Gemini" to coexist!

What are the specialties of the media? That's hype.

No problem will give you a problem to fire, a small problem will give you a big problem, a big problem will directly fire you upside down, now the league leader, Arsenal, who has been unbeaten in the league so far this season, has such a big internal contradiction, so don't you seize the opportunity to fire me quickly?

So the tone of the media suddenly changed:

"There is infighting between the Arsenal twins, Descartes vs Cesc Fabregas, who is the true nucleus?"

"The two heroes stand side by side, Arsenal is shocked to fight at the core, Professor: This is the most happy trouble?"

"The undefeated division has a hidden henchman, Descartes or Fabregas, who is the real owner of the Emirates Stadium?"

"Some insiders say that the core battle between Descartes and Cesc Fabregas has affected the atmosphere within the team, a certain player: they don't talk to anyone now!"

……

The headlines began to get more and more terrifying, and the content began to get more and more derailed, with many tabloids even directly claiming that they had secretly filmed Cesc Fabregas and Descartes fighting on the pitch while all the Arsenal players around them went to drag, leaving many scars on each of their bodies.

When the professor saw these fiery reports, he slapped the table angrily.

The fight was a real fight, but it was not Descartes and Fabregas who were fighting, but Galla and Toure...... (To be continued......)
