Chapter 104: The New Arsenal
On September 17, Aston Villa played against Arsenal, a contest between two Argentineers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is a club that has been very helpful to Li Haolong's first trip to England, Wenger is his respected predecessor, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has the grace of guidance, Li Haolong once wanted to face the most famous coach is him, can play against the teacher, and it is also a beautiful talk to come to a report performance, but unfortunately now it is a matter of fact, Wenger left France, Sanchez went to Italy, Mertesacker had no place under Sampaoli after recovering from injury, and Villa's side, Li Haolong was temporarily unable to go to the sidelines because of this turmoil, The game can only be watched from the stands, and the recent situation of the two teams is embarrassing.
Whenever Li Haolong is in the whirlpool of public opinion, Villa Park Stadium will become his most solid backing. Tens of thousands of Li Haolong masks from Zhejiang, China, were shipped to Birmingham for matchday sales, and the results were so good that they were sold out in an instant. A large number of banners of solidarity and personalized slogans are all Li Haolong, and Li Haolong is everywhere. His heart was warmed by the actions of the fans, and he stood up several times to thank him, each time causing a tsunami.
The pre-match preparation for this game, Li Haolong was not involved at all, in the past few days he had a strange idea, even if the FA ruled him not guilty, he also wanted to resign as assistant coach, it was not that he lost interest and confidence, he wanted to be upright and conquer the Premier League with an irrefutable attitude, he was tired of the current cover-up constraints, and Petrov was really a good person, so it was not fair to him, it might be right to give him a full season, it was not a whim, Li Haolong is seriously considering this issue.
Petrov's formation is still 4231, but Jedinak and Brandt have replaced the two positions, and it is understandable that the young man is still adapting to the Premier League and needs time, and Petrov is also on the safe side. Li Haolong once tried the possibility of Brandt going to the right, but unfortunately failed, he can only play his best on the left side, unlike Dembele who can eat on both sides, so Brandt is still on the left, Isco came to the right, and it is the same for this side of the midfielder.
Arsenal is a 352 formation, the goalkeeper is still Cech, the three central defenders are Baumgartel, Koscielny, Mustafi, the double back is the new Ruben Neves and Coquelin, Bellerin came up to play the right midfielder, which is a pioneering move by Sampaoli, Ozil plays fake left midfielder, new recruit Lyon midfielder core Tolisso plays forward, the striker is the Italian "red bebei" Berotti and the Frenchman Giroud who were popular last year, the tall and beautiful man Giroud burst forward, and Berotti ambushed behind him. The reuse of last year's often substitute high school striker Giroud is also a big change for Sampaoli, this lineup has been much tougher than last year, except for the first loss to Liverpool, Arsenal won two wins, one draw and one loss in the first four games, from the field of view, they are still adapting to the style of the new coach, although a little jerky, but they can already be seen that they are familiar with each other, has been faintly branded with Sampaoli.
In Li Haolong's opinion, Arsenal's formation has a weakness, they do not have a strong left forward, Ozil plays a false wingback, and the three-back formation defender cannot assist to the front from time to time, so the attack on this side is not too sharp, Tolisso plays a defensive forward in Lyon, but his position is very free, and he is at the front when attacking, sometimes more than Lacazette forward, this situation can occur in Ligue 1, but it is certainly not possible in the Premier League, Sampaoli thought about it, and simply straightened him into a forward midfielder, As a result, he and Mesut Ozil's position clashed, and Sampaoli had to play Ozil to full-back, which actually ended up being a double midfielder.
The German Ozil, who collided with our popular domestic actress Di Lieba, can be called a genius-type technical front waist, if it is smooth, it can indeed be said to be the first in the world in this position, and it is also one of the only remaining ancient typical front waists, no, let's count it half. The last classical midfielder is Riquelme, and there are also Belleron, Rui Costa, Francescoli, Falcao, Socrates, Zico, Giannini. To put it simply, the classical forward has a lot of ball control and dribbling, far away from the goal, and generally has a slow speed, with an elegant style of ball, superb dribbling skills, a wide field of vision, and accurate passing. A king like Zidane can only be regarded as a modern striker, while Ozil runs more without the ball, pulls more edges, and is closer to the goal, and only has some of the characteristics of a classical striker, such as elegance such as passing, so it can only be regarded as half.
Excessive artistic temperament, is Ozil is the most criticized by fans, his mental attributes are relatively poor, can not take on the burden of leading the team alone, although in Germany and Real Madrid have achieved very brilliant results, but that is because these two teams are too strong as a whole, in the past few years at Arsenal, every time it comes to important games and tough battles, he is used to stealth, completely unable to play his superhuman strength, because his gorgeous style of play is deeply loved by fans, so it is difficult to shake him in this position, However, with Sampaoli's character, Li Haolong felt that it was only a matter of time before he took Ozil.
The course of the game validated Lee's judgment, and although Isco, who was opposite Mesut Ozil here, was also a fake right midfielder, he had Henrichs behind him, a new generation of Aston Villa wing-backs with knives, and Amagi as the left and right protectors. Speaking of Isco and Ozil, the two passed each other around 2013, Isco joined Real Madrid in June of that year, Ozil transferred to Arsenal in September, and Isco also came to England this year, and the two reunited, which is embarrassing.
Henrich was on the verge of levelling Arsenal down the left and the first goal of the first half also came from an assist from Henrichs, whose standard low cross was met by Antoine Griezmann's clever way through Petr Cech's ten fingers. The left side was in a hurry, and the new signing Neves had to come over to fill the position, so that he simply became a left midfielder when he hit the back. On the attack, Arsenal is not open at all, Ozil and Tolisso seem to be very crowded, completely unplayable, on paper, Ozil has better skills, but Tolisso also has his characteristics, speed, running ability, passing control in a small space, with Sampaoli's style, he must appreciate Tolisso more, but because of Ozil's position, it is not easy to start for the time being.
Because of the local adjustment of the players, Arsenal's entire formation was completely messed up, in the first half Arsenal has been in a passive situation, Griezmann scored twice, the score of 2-0 on the field is not even enough to explain the gap between the two teams, but the Villa team itself missed a lot of opportunities, otherwise in terms of the first half, it must be a massacre.
