Standing on the stage of the Champions League knockout round for the first time, You Mo felt a little strange in his heart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He started from an unknown youth team, step by step, which lasted six years, and finally stood halfway up the mountain, where he could look up at the scenery on the top of the mountain.

The more scenery you see, the more your mentality and vision are naturally very different from before. He began to understand that "with great power comes great responsibility", the truth hidden behind such a seemingly stressful sentence.

Greater responsibility, higher demands, these are all necessary nutrients to reach the top, and any idea of escaping can be devastating to your career!

Along the way, whether fast, or slow, or applause, or continuous scolding, or singing and marching, or parting gloomily, one pile of piles, one scene after another, all as bright as yesterday.

Perhaps, the mood at this moment will also become a moment worth remembering, displayed in the life exhibition hall for yourself to slowly reminisce.

Now, the whistle blows, the curtain opens, and the game begins!

......

Inter's big-name stars don't take the Premier League's blossoming team into account.

Maybe it's because Lazio won't have any pressure, or maybe it's because you're a giant in the world's No. 1 league, or it's more likely that your opponent's style is just overcome, anyway, it makes them feel that their opponent is a bit exaggerated, and now it's time to rush to lift that thin veil and show their true colors.

With the support of this mentality, the Inter soldiers turned against the guest as soon as they came up, and shocked the 35,000 gun fans in the stands in a cold sweat with several fierce offensives.

At the same time, the 3,000 Inter fans who accompanied the team to north London sang and danced as if they were a Boxing Day party.

Most of the Arsenal players started the game with nervousness and apprehension, and the visitors' menacing three-board axe was chopped down, and the score could not be rewritten. The psychological pressure suddenly increased.

The game is too important, the opponent is too strong......

Two mantra-like voices echoed in the minds of every disconfident person, slowing them down, slowing down their reflexes, and suppressing their ability to create.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly in the first half, and the game was one-sided. Fortunately, David Seaman had the help of God, and after saving two close shots from the opponent in succession, the score of 0:0 was maintained.

In the slightly silent Highbury Stadium, Arsene Wenger stood on the sidelines with an anxious face, picking up and putting down his hands and putting them down.

As a head coach, sometimes you can dominate everything, and sometimes you can only wait silently.

For example, in the current situation.

It's normal for young players to be influenced by off-field factors, and no one is too that.

Not so with veterans.

Their careers have begun to come to an end. If you are suppressed by the momentum of your opponent and cannot perform at half of your usual level, the blow to your confidence will be much worse than that of young people.

After all, when something that has always been stable is broken, it takes many times more effort to rebuild it.

Arsene Wenger can try to regain their attention by shouting loudly, but this is not the manager's style of work, nor is it his best form of encouragement, and it is easy to add to their psychological burden. I feel that the boss is also overwhelmed.

Shouting out loud will not work, and substitutions will not be possible at this time. What about the tactical adjustments?

As soon as he thought of this, the two people on the field began to talk.

"Switch places, Dennis."

"No, be patient in your position."

"Oh, good."

Arsene Wenger didn't hear what the two were saying, but he could see clearly after the two were talking. He was inexplicably relieved, stood quietly for a while, and then turned back to sit down.

Pat Rice only found out about the situation after following the manager's gaze, so without waiting for the Frenchman to sit down, asked: "What are they communicating?" ”

"I don't know." Arsene Wenger shook his head.

"Don't know?"

Pat Rice is a bit of a flute god.

What does this mean?

Could it be that when Tony Adams was not there, there were already people on the field who were able to stand up bravely. Did you carry everyone forward?

"I guess they've figured out a solution, so it's better to be patient."

"Oh, good."

The brief interlude didn't change much, and the Arsenal goal remained precarious for the rest of the game.

Inter Milan didn't actually field their strongest attacking line-up, with the intellectual duo of Salas sitting on the bench and the melancholy prince Robert Baggio also not in the starting line-up. But even if these people are not on the field, Ronaldo and Recoba are enough to stir up Arsenal's aging defence.

Especially the former of the two, the title of "alien" has no moisture at all.

Speed, power, technique, explosiveness, the Brazilian is at the peak of his career. Running, coordination, judgment, and rhythm, he is also a must. Smell, imagination, creativity, these things measure the distance between the top and the top he doesn't lose to anyone.

If Anelka is synonymous with the word "all-round", then Ronaldo is the typical representative of "all-round", and the gap between the two cannot be summed up by the title of "World Footballer".

Such a guy will definitely not be able to guard against him alone in his peak condition, but fortunately, Arsenal's defenders are cautious enough to never let him go one-on-one with his teammates.

You Mo was left alone in the opponent's half, and his heart was surging to watch.

This kind of guy who is only one step away from the king of the ball is really incomprehensible at his peak, especially after rushing up with the ball, the destructive power that comes to his face is simply suffocating!

After nearly half an hour of on-site observation, You Mo found some inspiration.

Is such a well-rounded guy capable of playing in other positions than the center forward position?

The question may seem nonsensical, but it is not inconsistent with the fact that it arises at this time.

The answer is obviously yes, the shadow striker, the midfielder, the central defender, these positions that form the main framework of the team are more than capable of the Brazilian. This ability comes from football talent, but grows more from understanding the sport.

It's like different players in each position play different styles. As long as you find your own way, you can become king in your own territory!

On the other hand, the understanding of other positions on the pitch has made the Brazilian more aware than ordinary people think, but it is only overshadowed by excellent individual skills and physical qualities, and it is not talked about.

Understood these. You Mo suddenly understood something.

Those who have stepped into the hall and become legends, speed, strength, technology, imagination, everything is a weapon, and only the word "consciousness" is the weapon administrator.

Without enough awareness, no matter how good the weapon is, it won't be of much use!

.....

Face a menacing opponent. Bergkamp didn't hold it up, and after instructing Jumo to stick to his position, he dropped back very deeply, and in addition to contributing in defence, the ball moved much more smoothly at the back.

The biggest reason for the instability of the defense is often not that it is blown up at one point, but that the whole system is paralyzed after it is blown up at one point.

The two seem to be the same thing, but they are not.

It is not easy to contain the opponent's arrowhead in a one-on-one situation in a soccer match, so it is not uncommon for the two armies to have frequent situations at one point when facing each other. How you deal with it shows how resilient a team is.

If it's a blow up on the wing, there will be a lot more crosses and shots from tight angles from the wings. Guarding the ribs and the mid lane, and guarding the near corners can relieve a lot of pressure. If the middle is blown up, then the whole team's defense needs to add space and need three-dimensional positioning to alleviate the pressure caused by the long drive in the middle.

There is another important point.

After a wave of strong attacks, the tense nerves of the defenders will inevitably relax a little, if they are cut off as soon as they are handed over to their teammates. The excessive attack density will undoubtedly drag down the nerves of the entire defense line, and mistakes will become inevitable!

That's why Bergkamp has pulled back so deeply.

With him as a passing point at the back, the ball runs much more naturally and smoothly, and even if the Arsenal players are still a little out of shape, the star of the house appears in front of him at the most critical moment. The confidence boost is significant.

They have tried to find Youmo with a high ball, and the result is often that the first point is fought, and the second and third points are lost.

After all, the opponent's tactical system is rigorous, the players are very particular about their positioning, and it is pure fantasy to expect a miracle with a big foot in the backfield!

Fortunately, this first half made the Arsenal players lower their goals a lot, and it is reasonable that the attack cannot be opened, just maintain the defensive level of the previous stage.

As a result, Ronaldo's destructive power was contained under their somewhat unenterprising choices, and the score was 0-0 at the end of the first half.

The score looked acceptable, but the passive beating on the field made the fans in the stands frown.

Inter had as many as 11 shots on goal in the first half, and on a few occasions, which one was more lucky in the second half?

Although Arsenal defended with three lives, the team just played a tough game three days ago, will there be physical problems if they continue to be tired of defending?

The home offense can't open the situation, and there is still hope for the away team?

These questions hung high in the sky, beating forward with the hour hand, and soon completed 15 laps.

There were no substitutions for either team at half-time, and the second half was about to take place in a dull state.

Yumo's wishful thinking with the Dutch fell through.

They underestimated their opponents' form and determination, overestimated the quality and confidence of their team-mates, and ultimately failed to create enough threat up front for just 32 per cent of their possession time, let alone blow a certain point.

Now that the second half has started and the substitutions have made sense, is it necessary to continue the game with this line of thinking?

This is the case with high-level football, and no matter how well prepared you are, you may not be able to play the game. Being able to quickly come up with the No. 2 and No. 3 plans when the No. 1 plan can't play a role is a sign of a team's maturity.

"There's no need, I think it's time to save morale through attack, and obsessing on hitting a certain point of the opponent can cause unnecessary waste."

As he approached the players' tunnel, Overmars said with regret.

Ronaldo was mostly active in the middle and on the right side in this half of the game, and the Dutchman, as a left midfielder, naturally couldn't do anything to watch Ashley Cole being abused, and when he frequently retreated deeply, he felt that he should save morale first and then think about anything else.

"No, the knockout rounds are two rounds and the next time we meet we will only have a tougher situation. If you don't show surprising ability in this match, your opponent's confidence will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced. And even if we win this round by luck, we will still be beaten back to the next round. ”

It's rare for Bergkamp to say so much at once, but both listeners have chosen to ignore this rarity.

Overmars was surprised, and Yumo was surprised to find his kind.

Even if the performance is bad, it is by no means mediocre!!

.....

Neither side went according to the script of the first half in the restart.

The Inter Milan team obviously realized the difficulty of breaking the iron bucket formation, so they took the initiative to recycle the formation, intending to lure the opponent out of the hole and use the super individual ability of the team to solve the problem. Arsenal have attacking blood in their bones, and it is frustrating enough to play like this at home, even if they lose, they are not willing to continue in the second half.

One side took the initiative to recycle, the other side actively attacked, and the game suddenly became good-looking.

In the 49th minute, Bergkamp and Ljungberg successfully combined and found the guy at the edge of the penalty area.

You Mo did not rush directly to catch the ball before the ball came, but leaned on the opponent with his body first, and then ran back for two steps, then decisively lowered his center of gravity and sat on the horse with a heavy waist. In the end, his opponent was caught off guard during the run, and his whole body pressed over his head.

Foul!

Although the opponent's movement is quite big, in fact, he was purely unprepared to be plotted, and this yellow card was extremely wronged. However, Champions League referees are different from Premier League referees, and such a penalty scale also serves as a wake-up call for Arsenal's players.

In the final rare set-piece opportunity, Youmo jumped high and shook his head to attack the goal, but the opponent's goalkeeper was very skilled, and he fell to the left with quick reflexes during the move. The unstretched body posture is not pretty, but the practical technical choice makes the close shooting useless!

Punch the ball off the goal line!

Yu Mo got up from the ground and remembered the name.

Gianluca Pagliuca!

Obviously, just blocking the ball with your hands in a scuffle in the box is not enough to remove the threat, and using your fists is a great help to your teammates in the first place!

In the 52nd minute, Inter Milan's long pass counterattack failed, David Seaman did not wait for the crowd in front of him to disperse, and the target was a big foot!

The England veteran saw very clearly that the opponent was pressing out in an attempt to counter-attack, and his own players still had two or three points to return to the defense.

In the end, his good judgment did not fail, and Yumo jumped high in front of the opponent's penalty area more than ten meters and headed the ball to Ljungberg, who was waiting on the right.

The Swede was not active enough in the first few returns, but the opponent mainly attacked the right flank and did not make reasonable use of the weak defense on the left.

This time, it can be regarded as keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon! (To be continued.) )
