148. Rhythm Battle

For a long time in the past, when words like "tempo" or "control" were mentioned, the first thing that came to mind was the midfielder.

In addition to being able to erect a defensive barrier in the midfield, an excellent midfielder also bears the heavy responsibility of choosing the timing of the attack and controlling the team's rhythm, such a midfielder is usually called a "metronome", just like Albertini, Guardiola, Redondo in the last decade, it was an era when there was never a shortage of excellent midfielders, and the evaluation criteria for this position "control the rhythm" is undoubtedly a very important point, which can be glimpsed from the nicknames of the players, Thomas was known as the "Lung of Rome" at the time, and its significance is self-evident.

However, with the continuous development of modern football, the confrontation is becoming more and more intense, the offensive rhythm is getting faster and faster, and the role of the back is naturally more focused on defense, and some defensive midfielders who are more good at interception are more and more valued by the head coaches, such as AC Milan has Gattuso and Ambrosini, facing the team with super offensive firepower, plus Pirlo's three back midfielders will effectively contain the opponent's attack; For example, Juventus, the outstanding record of the old women of the Lippi era is inseparable from the combination of Davies and Tacchinadi, Capello entered Alpi and asked Moggie to poach the famous meat grinder combination of Vieira and Emerson, Mourinho is even more fond of hoarding the head coach of the back, in addition to Makelle, Essien and Thiago were bought after Uncle Bird came to Stamford Bridge......

The midfield builds a thick barrier that allows the team's attack to unfold anytime and anywhere, which also makes the Olympic tenet "Higher, Faster, Stronger" more resolute on the green field.

Now that the start of the attack has been pushed forward, the players who control the change of tempo have also moved forward from the midfield position. The control of the offense on the pitch has changed from a "metronome" to a "transmission", and the first "transmission" to be mentioned in a few years is Kaka.

The most important thing for AC Milan is that the arrival of the Brazilian is that he has a strong point in the depth of attack, Kaka's sudden forward insertion and high-speed dribbling can not only play his power in the counterattack, but his forward breakthrough in the positional battle is also the key to driving the team's offensive rhythm to change instantaneously!

Before the arrival of this clear-eyed Zhengtai-faced guy, AC Milan's change in offensive rhythm can only rely on passing, it is Kaka who enriches Milan's offensive routine, and in order to amplify the effect of this offensive mode, Jiang Qi also put a lot of thought into personnel matching. Rui Costa's retreat, Ljungberg's off-the-ball movement, Van der Vaart's swing in multiple positions as a striker, winger and midfielder...... When these players are embedded in a tactical system with Kaka, there will be more possibility of rhythm changes, which is also the source of confidence for Jiang Qi's last sentence.

After Arsenal's goal, the mask of silence was finally put aside, and the Gunners frantically vented their pent-up emotions for a long time, and Cesc Fabregas, who was sent on by Wenger as a surprise soldier, ran all the way to the professor and hugged the Frenchman with his discerning skills.

However, both the silence and the sudden outburst of emotional catharsis seemed to be a one-man show at San Siro, with the Milan fans interrupted by the goal and the Milan players showing no change in mood.

In the words of Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray, "The Gunners' mask of silence has been put on AC Milan's face, and this game is going to be different, there are a lot of teams that can control the pace of the game, but now we have two teams in front of us who can control their emotions, which makes us feel incredible, even a little palpitation, and there is undoubtedly more to look forward to!" ”

After the restart, the tempo of the game didn't seem to change because of the goal, and both sides always tried to control the ball once they got the ball, finding a change of tempo to grasp the thunderous attack. In a way, it's a reciprocal game, the game is about finding opportunities in the change of tempo, and the final result depends on the number of chances taken, with the Gunners leading at the moment, but the future of the game is still uncertain.

"You don't seem to be too worried, do you?" , Chascini poked Jiang Qi with the tip of his elbow.

Jiang Qi did not answer his question directly, "What do you think are the weaknesses of Arsenal on the field now?" ”

"Weakness?" , Uncle Sullen was stunned when he heard this, "Well, I think it's Fabregas who was accidentally sent on the field." ”

"How?"

"Game experience, in such a crucial game, no matter how precocious a player is, will take on the pressure that does not match his age, not to mention that I checked, Espanyol has only played three times in the league this season, and the form is not very stable, this time Fabregis is actually Wenger also took a lot of risks."

"But this goal will boost the self-confidence of a young player, and there are many examples of him becoming famous......

"There is a clear weakness in this player!"

"What?"

"Fight against the surname!"

While they were talking, Kaka on the pitch over there had already picked up Fabregas head-on, and the Brazilian suddenly accelerated to start, although Xiaofa's reaction was fast and not slow, but after physical contact, the Spaniard was completely thrown away, and Kaka was consciously increased after coming to Milan to fight against the strength of the surname, the purpose is to enhance his success rate in the process of high-speed breakthrough.

Kaka, who was in fourth gear, had become unstoppable, and Toure, who stepped forward to intercept, was thrown away by him in two steps, and then quickly crossed the middle, Shevchenko's point-grabbing cushion shot made Lehmann have no time to react at all!

Some of the silent San Siro were once again ignited by Sheva's goal, and some fans began to light fireworks, so that San Siro was slowly enveloped in a light layer of smoke.

Cesc Fabregas and Kaka's goals were both found in the change of pace, but Fabregas used the pass and Kaka used the break.

"Arsene Wenger has bet on Cesc Fabregas, and it seems that Jiang Qi is also focusing his attack on Kaka, all with the idea of a surprise attack." , This is the interpretation of the three commentators of Mingdeng.com, which directly reveals the intentions of the two teams' head coaches.

"After determining the center of gravity of the attack, it depends on how much the tactical system supporting the center of gravity of the attack can play a role in amplification. If we want to disrupt such an offensive system, we need to consider every detail and prepare accordingly. The speaker was Mr. Jose Mourinho, who was following the live broadcast of the game, and the Portuguese, who won two goals away at Monaco in the first leg, had his sights set on his opponent who was going to Schalke.

Boas also stared at the screen intently, "Jose, who do you think is more competitive in the tactical system?" ”

"Jiang!" Uncle Bird gave the answer without hesitation, "This season, in fact, he has been trying to make Milan find a balance between various rhythm changes, and the next games will definitely show the difference!" ”
