The whistle blew, the game began, when the 22 people on both sides were running on the pitch, standing on the edge of the pitch, Wenger raised his eyes, nervously watched the game between the two sides, and after a while, he saw the running position of the players on both sides clearly, and made it clear that the advantage was on the Arsenal side, Wenger let out a long sigh.

His sigh contained too many feelings. He sighed and relaxed: after the game started, Wolfsburg did not rush to attack, even in the face of Arsenal's current big loss team, Wolfsburg still did not dare to take it lightly, and still chose to take it slowly. Arsene Wenger is well aware of the unreliability of his defenders and wants to give his defenders some time to warm up, and he can't help but be relieved to see that the opposition are not in a hurry to attack.

However, on the other hand, Wenger also felt a sense of melancholy in his heart: in recent years, since the change of the English tax system, the strength of the British team has become worse and worse. The situation of three of the top four in the Premier League and the Champions League in previous years is no longer to be seen. Liverpool have fallen, and it is unknown how long it will take to rise again. Chelsea had a successful season last season, but now they are also facing the pain of a new generation. Manchester United and Arsenal are still struggling, but seeing that their teams need to play carefully even against a team of Wolfsburg's level, Wenger's heart is also a little sad.

Such an Arsenal made him feel a little sad.

Such a team really doesn't look like his Arsenal - and speaking of which, even if you don't talk about the current results, just the scene of the game, what is this team like Wenger's Arsenal?

Who doesn't know that Arsenal's attack is the best in the Premier League? Who doesn't know that Arsenal's smooth fit. Is it the beautiful scenery of the Premier League and the world's football? Even when Barcelona's attack impressed the world, there were still fans who were fascinated by Arsenal's extremely fast attacking style. Even if the technical delicacy is not as good as that of La Liga teams, how can Arsenal's attacking spirit ever lose to anyone? But now. If you look at the field, what are they playing? Thinking about his reputation, Wenger was embarrassed to say that this was his team.

On the pitch, Arsenal are on the attack. Gibbs on the left flank swooped forward with the ball, and he made a simple connection with Gervinho in front of him, and in the face of Wolfsburg's interception, he passed the ball to Gervinho, and Gervinho received the ball and he didn't seem to think about anything. With the ball without looking back, he went directly to the baseline with the ball, until he rushed to the ground, and then kicked back and kicked the ball to Gibbs behind him.

Gibbs took the ball and rushed into the box. But here, he doesn't seem to know what to do with it when he is used to playing as a full-back. He didn't know whether to bring or pass, and seemed to be stunned for a while. At this point, Giroud had already run up and reached for the ball in the middle. Gibbs kicked the ball towards Giroud. It was as if a football under his feet would burn him.

Giroud was in the middle of the pitch and stopped the ball with his foot and turned to shoot, but his movement was too obvious. All intentions were clear, and before his leg swing could be successful, Wolfsburg defender Naldo cut off the ball at his feet with a single kick. He passed the ball forward and launched a counter-attack.

An attack was thus stopped. Arsene Wenger also turned his head in frustration, not wanting to watch the players on the pitch play again. These guys are playing really badly. He was also very angry.

Wenger has reason to be angry: To be honest, although Wenger's team is full of injuries and serious losses, the tactics Wenger designed for the team are still very good. In his tactical design, two poorly defended wingers simply ran back and forth, directly into the penalty area and directly participated in the attack, forming the possibility of scoring from multiple points. The two wingers also have to shoulder the function of defending and participate in the defense. Although this will make them too physically exhausted and they will have to make substitutions in 70 minutes, but fortunately, Arsenal's squad is thick enough and there are people to replace. A fulcrum in the middle, with two wings taking turns, making up for fitness issues with movement and squad depth, replacing top goalscorers with multiple threats – there is nothing wrong with Arsene Wenger's tactical design, and he has thought about what to do with the personnel he has at hand.

It's a pity that no matter how well his tactical design is, when it comes to using it, there are many problems. This attack made Wenger depressed: he really couldn't tell, who he was more helpless about, Gervinho would only go down to the bottom and invert the triangle when he broke through with the ball, or cut inside to shoot, and it was harder to see him with a long pass than to go to the sky. The former Ligue 1 champion really couldn't adapt to a better tactical system and wanted more coordination, but it seems that Gervinho doesn't understand what he's talking about.

Gibbs was called upon to burst into the box to finish the game in Arsene Wenger's new tactics, but he still didn't have the attacker's mind. Thinking that Wenger also used Ashley Cole back then, and looking at the current Gibbs who doesn't know how to handle the ball near the penalty area, he can only lament that compared to the top full-backs, this is a pure lack of talent.

As for Olivier Giroud...... Arsene Wenger didn't know what to say.

Arsenal's players have a lot to worry about, and one of the biggest headaches for Wenger is their striker Olivier Giroud. The Frenchman used to be the top scorer in Ligue 1, but after moving to Arsenal, he didn't play at the level of a top scorer in Ligue 1.

Arsene Wenger certainly knows that Giroud is still inferior to the top striker. Football is not the same as it used to be, the media is overdeveloped, players are noticed from the moment they show their talent, and there are very few talented but unknown stars. It is very difficult to get good players at a low price, even if Wenger has always been considered a discerning person, it is impossible to buy a player worth 40 million with more than 10 million, Giroud's level is worthy of his value, but it is only worthy of the price, Wenger is not unaware of this.

It's just that there is always hope for the players under his command: any coach wants his striker's name to be terrifying and outstanding. Arsene Wenger also wants his team's strikers to be Thierry Henry, Bergkamp, Robin van Persie and even Bam Adebayo, who are enough to be feared.

It's a shame that none of those players are under him, he only has Olivier Giroud.

Olivier Giroud is a player with good enough size and header ability, and his style of play is also a typical way for a big man to play the ball. Standing on the pile, grabbing points, heading the ball, swinging his thigh to shoot, these skills, he is very proficient - unfortunately, these skills are almost useless at Arsenal now.

Gervinho rarely crosses, while Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott are more keen to cut inside. His strengths simply don't play to Arsenal and Arsene Wenger can't build tactics around him. Arsene Wenger can only choose to let him change, more often than not, what Wenger needs is that the striker is a fulcrum, a fulcrum who can pass the ball and can do the ball, but unfortunately, Giroud can't do this.

His passing skills are just terrible. A pass completion rate of more than 60% is simply intolerable for a striker of a strong team. With this kind of passing rate, it is simply impossible to do a fulcrum or something. Moreover, he has almost no room to play in the attacking system, and his skills are not delicate enough to dribble the ball, which is not too much of a problem. But the ball can't be stopped well, and the shooting preparation action is too big, but this kind of problem makes Wenger extremely speechless.

He wasn't hoping to find a player of Van Persie's caliber to replace the departing Dutchman, but he needed a similar player who could play well on the pitch. Even if he doesn't have the skills of Robin van Persie, he will have to play at least a few decent footballs...... Speaking of which, the opposing two strikers look good at playing.

Wolfsburg was on the offensive at this time. Nemanja Matic, who got the ball in midfield, and Makoto Hasebe controlled the pace of the game a little, allowing their players to run forward a little before passing the ball to Turan in front. Turan cut to the middle, and Yung had already rushed up by this time. Turan pretended to make a match with him, and then got rid of it with an easy kick and shook off Coquelin.

Coquelin's performance made Wenger sigh depressedly: Selling Song in the summer without replenishing the back looks like a really wrong decision. Coquelin is 22 years old, and he still hasn't grown at all, so this kind of back is basically over. Wolfsburg dared to delay and attack again, which was completely out of his sights.

And the players of Wolfsburg do have this capital. After Turan got past Coquelin, Mandzukic had already met him, and Turan slid the ball straight to the feet of Gao Shunyao, and then ran towards the box himself.

Mandzukic ran almost at the same time as Turan, and he and Turan ran in different directions, which also involved the Arsenal defence. However, Arsenal's defence was not immediately outside, Vermaelen kept an eye on Mandzukic, the full-backs also retracted, watched the inserted Turan, and at the edge of the box, Arteta and Koscielny had also rushed forward to Gao Shunyao, trying to intercept the ball at his feet.

With his back to goal, Ko Shunyao also made a move at this time, leaning on his body to hold Koscielny, and just before Arteta could scramble, he struck the ball out with a cross. He rolled over himself and followed, doing something to get the ball to Mandzukic in the box. Koscielny immediately wanted to intercept, but Gao Shunyao had already found a gap in front of the penalty area with a kick at his feet.

And in the face of these vacancies, Gao Shunyao directly kicked out with a long shot!

Wenger also slapped his thigh suddenly at this time: such a player is what he needs: he can take the ball in the front court and be a fulcrum to guide the attack. To be able to have a good long-range shot when you need it, that's what a really good striker is, a striker that a good team needs!

Unfortunately, he is not in his own team, he is an enemy of Arsenal and in this game, his goal is to beat Arsenal. (To be continued.) )
