The 32nd round of league fixtures at the weekend arrives as scheduled, with Arsenal heading to St James' Park to take on eighth-placed Newcastle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

With seven games to go in the league to unravel all the suspense, every team that still has the spirit to start picking up the pace and sprinting towards the goal. Needless to say, Arsenal's Magpies cherish every remaining game more and more after a long process of going high and low.

They once rushed to fourth place and had a Champions League hope, but then fell all the way to ninth place, and they couldn't find the edge in Europe. With the return of injured players, the squad is gradually recovering and with six points off the European places, it is time to not let up any of them.

This time against a strong opponent at home, in addition to their main force, they did not rush forward in their tactical play, and they were determined to have a protracted battle with their opponents!

They are well aware that Arsenal will have a tough schedule ahead, so this game will not be too hard, and with enough patience, the hopes of victory will be greatly enhanced.

This is indeed the case.

Arsenal will host the FA Cup semi-finals on the third day after this game, and although the opponents West Bromwich Albion are a cut behind, it is impossible not to fight for the cup at this level. The FA Cup final is followed by the 33rd round of the league, and they will face Reading on the edge of the relegation zone, and it may be another tough battle.

After two games, the next game is the heaviest game of the season so far - the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, away to Juventus!

Coupled with the game in front of you, there are a total of four competitions, which need to be played in 13 days, an average of one in three days!

In this case, no one dares to take risks, win the first three games steadily, and finally give it a go in the Champions League, which is the best strategy for advancing on three fronts, otherwise it is easy to pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon.

Arsene Wenger's starting line-up illustrates that point.

Yumo, Pire, Rosicky, the three guys sat in a row on the bench, their necks twisted around, and they couldn't take their eyes off the field.

With a failure to overtake Manchester United in the league, Arsene Wenger has taken the FA Cup reuse a step further, and if nothing else, the three guys will be the starting line-up for the next game and the Champions League quarter-finals.

For Arsenal, which is overstretched, the rotation of three big players at a time is a large degree of rotation, and it is normal for the strength to be affected. So the first half of the game ended in a lively scramble, neither side took risks, nor did they create good chances, and the score of 0:0 is a true reflection of the level of play of both sides.

As the last game also ended the first half in an uneventful game, the Arsenal soldiers did the same, picking up the tempo at the beginning of the second half, hoping to catch the opponent off guard.

As a result, the opponent obviously expected that the iron bucket formation would get rid of it without leaking, and it had been held for a full 15 minutes before the scene returned to normal, and the two sides fought fiercely.

It's time for a changeover!

With a wave of Arsene Wenger's hand, Pire came into play and replaced David Pratt, who had suffered a serious drop in physical strength.

The latter was already on the verge of leaving, and if it weren't for Wiltord to overcome Ljungberg's shortfall, he might have found another place at this point.

Looking at the young people alive on the runway, the Englishman lowered his head and silently walked to the bench.

Except for Arsene Wenger, who was standing on the sidelines, no one looked at him much, and even the manager, including the manager, just patted his back politely, which was a reward after 60 minutes of hard work.

Who knows if there is a dislike?

Thinking of this, Pratt smiled and shook his head.

A tear welled up from his eyes, and he needed to quickly lower his head in order to hide his sadness.

I'm only 33 years old, can't I last 60 minutes?

"Where are you going this summer?"

A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and he was extremely surprised.

Due to injuries, he spent a lot of time in the infirmary for treatment this season, so the relationship between the two became a little strange. Now in the sprint stage of the season, the situation of the two is becoming more and more different, and even he himself admits that the cold eyes of others are not unreasonable, and it is his own inability to help the team.

The breath in his chest was running out, and he didn't know if he should go on or not.

Now that he actually heard the greeting from the other party, he was surprised and a little relieved.

Either way, he still has guys to talk to on this team.

"In the summer, of course, you have to do a good job." Pratt squinted his eyes and smiled a little unnaturally, "It's impossible to stay here, and what does it mean to go abroad....... Probably, find a Championship team and see if it can play a role. ”

You Mo smiled and nodded, leaving a back for him,

Just as the loss crept into the heart and the full stomach was about to swallow again, a rich baritone voice came from not far away.

"Now that we're at the end, it's better to draw a full stop a little rounder!"

The sound caught everyone's attention, but Pratt turned his head, picked up the towel, and covered his face.

......

After two substitutions in a row, Arsenal's attack picked up.

Arsene Wenger usually plays in midfield when he brings on Youmo in the middle of the game, and this one was no exception. Against a tenacious Newcastle United, the protection of the back line is very important, otherwise once you fall behind, try your best to fight for a point, it is better to guard your own door safely and patiently wait for the opponent to make mistakes.

This was the conclusion reached after the unsuccessful onslaught at the beginning of the second half, and it was a decision after weighing the pros and cons.

Of course, there are also ideas in it.

Since Yumo switched to central defence, he has scored a lot fewer goals in athletic battles. Due to the lack of integration in the playmaking up front, it is difficult to find him when regular opportunities arise. As a result, his role in set-pieces has also begun to decline, and he is not as impressive as he was in the middle of the season.

The situation is clear.

Everyone knows that this product has scored a hat-trick from set-pieces, so when a set-piece with a good position appears, everyone is highly vigilant, and they don't think about how to fight back after the defense, and then pass the level in front of them first!

This unpretentious attitude is the most headache, just like an opponent full of CDs, no matter how much you toss, it is difficult to kill with one blow.

Arsene Wenger then had an idea and changed his mind and did not intend to let him play as a centre-back for a full season.

This is actually quite normal.

No one can win the league's Golden Boot from set-pieces alone, and it would be a huge waste for the team and him to bet all the attacking power of this product on set-piece tactics. So even if the technique on his feet isn't quite up to par, it's worth putting him out and giving it a try.

The books of the province are hated less when they are used!

It doesn't matter what position you play, it's a lot of fun for him to play. If he can, he also wants to try his hand at full-back or full-back. However, this season seems to be unpromising, although the team's two wings are old and young, but the victory is enough to have enough people to fight fires everywhere.

With Patrick Vieira in the game, his task was clearly more attacking, so as soon as he got on the pitch, he began to brush up his presence in front of the camera, repeatedly messing up the opponent's defense with a rather offbeat way of getting rid of it.

After a long period of tutoring, he gradually developed his own characteristics, which did not look flashy, but the practicality was not bad at all.

The characteristics can be summed up in one sentence: rhythm change and body application.

Because his feet are not fast enough, if he uses too complicated movements to shake off his opponent when he gets rid of people, the final result is likely to be that his opponent has not shaken off yet, and he stumbles on his feet first. Therefore, when he faces the opponent with the ball, he often reduces the speed and frequency first, and suddenly accelerates after seeing the opportunity, and uses his strong explosive power to make the opponent unguardable.

In this way, even if the opponent is on guard, his lightning-fast second reaction can still gain the upper hand in the physical contact between the two sides, and basically ensure that he does not concede the ball without getting rid of the chase.

This quality is very important for the midfielders.

Any defender is afraid of a time bomb buried around him, and no one wants to have to chase back desperately as soon as they press up, and it turns out that the goal rate is more than three times higher than in positional battles in the counterattack organized on the spot after the ball is broken in the front court!

Therefore, when the midfielder gets the ball, he often does not aim to break through, and even if he succeeds in getting rid of it, there is rarely a time when the dragon goes on. You Mo knows this, rarely takes risks when receiving the ball in the backcourt, and will only show his skills when there is space in the frontcourt.

This time was no exception.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Arsenal launched an attack on the right, and after continuous cooperation, Bergkamp sent a through ball, Wiltord went down and passed to Youmo on the edge of the penalty area.

Due to the bias and lack of a good passing point, the creature did not hesitate to buckle his right foot and began to move laterally in the middle.

The Magpies who were defending him immediately came up to him, and as if they guessed that he would continue to go to the middle, they moved a step ahead of them to jam the inside.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he staggered most of his body, You Mo buckled with his left foot, didn't wait for the ball to roll away, led with his right foot, and half of his body was close to the opponent, rampage!

A muffled sound came, and the opponent fell to the ground!

And he only slowed down a little, and the ball was still obediently between his feet, and he continued to move forward!

The Magpie players were a little unprepared, and the left central defender who was responsible for the protection saw that he had entered the shooting range, and regardless of whether the shooting angle was too small, he was horizontal and directly blocked it!

The result is naturally tragic.

With a buckle of the right foot, the body moves a step to the left, as if you can already test the goalkeeper with a left-footed curling ball!

The opponent's right central defender decisively blocked it, but unfortunately the imaginary shot still did not appear, as if he was too addicted, You Mo buckled with his left foot, and stepped on the left central defender's foot before the right foot stretched over, protecting the right side of the ball!

Breakthrough!

The best chance of the game is just around the corner!

The right calf was kicked violently, but the force was expected, and the tense muscles cushioned the violent impact, causing his body to just shake a little, and he didn't lie on the ground.

This is the opponent's home field, if the fall in the penalty area is too exaggerated, you may get a yellow card!

He is like a tumbler, active or passive, swaying in constant physical contact with his opponent, and never falls!

The Magpie goalkeeper pounced, but the ending remained the same.

Arch your right foot and push into the near corner!

1：0！

The 17th goal in the league, tied with Wiltord and tied for third place in the scorer list!

It was a bit of a thrill after the goal, but it was still a little bit compared to his team-mates and coaches.

"Fantastic, how are you, how can you, like a tank, go on a rampage and crush their positions?" Wiltord was excited, and his lips trembled a little.

"I have to say, you became a South American player right under my nose. Seriously, your progress is skyrocketing! Piret was equally excited, his fist raised in the air swinging back and forth.

"It's too hard to get rid of people, I want to go back to practicing my muscles right away!" Henry looked up and down, envious.

"It's really ruthless, but I think their morale is probably more damaged than their bodies!" Vieira smiled from ear to ear, looking at the object as if admiring a rare treasure.

"Golden Boot, Golden Boot! Ashley, your good buddy scored such a beautiful goal, and he didn't even see you laughing? Lyman did not leave the gate that had been guarded for many years, and turned to remind Ashley Cole.

"Well, I guess I'm going to have to work harder." The England teenager raised his head and spat hard to the side.

At the same time, on the bench.

Arsene Wenger celebrated excitedly on the sidelines, but when he returned to his seat, he still couldn't hide his excitement, and turned to talk to his old buddy, "It's incredible, does he usually practice this?" ”

Pat Rice also smiled, thought about it, and shook his head a little, "It seems that the usual practice is mainly based on basic movements, you know, Dennis is a guy who strives for perfection......."

Before he finished speaking, the meaning was clear, and the smile on Wenger's face remained unchanged, "No, Pat, what he showed today is the most basic passing moves. In my opinion, he just got the timing right and made reasonable use of his body, and he achieved an overwhelming advantage in one-on-one! ”

"Yes, that's right!" Pat Rice's eyes brightened and his voice raised an octave, "In my opinion, he puts his ability to take chances away from defense, and opponents can make mistakes if they are not careful!" ”

Wenger's eyes lit up and his fists clenched again, "So you can consider the distribution of the ball in the front court and let him be more involved in the attack?" ”

The proposal sounded good, but Pat Rice poured cold water on the manager.

"I think our defense line is probably inseparable from him, especially when the opponent's quick counterattack is tacit."

This is a prophecy.

After conceding the goal, Newcastle put down their baggage and began to give full play to the attack, and Arsenal were in high spirits and naturally did not want to recycle the defence to survive the remaining 20 minutes.

As a result, the Gunners lost to luck in the open attack, Henry and Wiltord hit the post and the frame with two shots, but Newcastle's counter-attack worked!

Alan Shearer received a long pass from his teammate, used his speed to get rid of Martin Keown, and in the 86th minute of the game, a world wave in front of the big penalty area broke through the door guarded by Lehmann!

1:1, Arsenal was equalized after taking the lead again, losing a good game, and the three points in hand became one point!

"Alright, now the challenge has escalated again."

At the end of the game, You Mo stretched out and walked back to the locker room as if no one was around. (To be continued.) )
