Chapter 46: The So-Called Mistakes
When I was in college, I got a sign in the dormitory opposite and hung it on the door, what was written in Wolong Pavilion, and I gave them what they could, so I immediately went to get a sign, and there were three big characters on it: Zangjing Pavilion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The audience is naturally knowledgeable, but it is inevitable that there will be a possibility of soy sauce when they go on stage too late.
This worry was magnified by Youmo's inefficient performance in the last game, so much so that just five minutes into the second half, the guys in the stands were a little impatient.
They are all experts with rich experience in actual combat, and it may not be enough to play on the field, and when watching the game as spectators, the situation faced by both sides has been analyzed to the bottom.
Manchester United still play at 442, with only four players in midfield, but in fact the two black strikers are extremely athletic, and it is only natural that Arsenal's aging backline will be broken down if it is repeatedly exposed to Manchester United's firepower. Until now, the score has remained 0:0, and that is because the two midfielders are trying to protect it, sacrificing the team's attacking power.
But even if some of the attack power is sacrificed, the balance of the game will still be broken.
In high-tempo games, the stronger the willpower will become, especially if they are already eight points behind their opponents on the way to the title.
If you want to change the decline, substitution is undoubtedly the most direct choice. If you still have illusions or look ahead at such times, once you fall behind, the opponent who is good at defending and counterattacking will be more like a fish in water.
Keane, Scholes, Beckham, Giggs, such a four-man midfield against Bergkamp, Overmars, Vieira, Petit, Ljungberg and other five-man combinations, possession is obviously inferior to the opponent. can be in a top battle. The side with high possession is also at risk.
Possession means offense, offense, means pressing, pressing, means spaciousness. Empty means to fight back. Experienced players at a high level of play will probably be able to get the balance between attack and defence, and young players are likely to make mistakes in such situations.
Ashley Cole.
The 18-year-old England teenager was not too nervous in this kind of big scene, but unfortunately the misjudgment caused by the lack of experience gave the opponent a chance.
In the 54th minute of the game, the guy who was in a hurry to perform cut in too quickly and fiercely in an attack, and as a result, Overmars's pass was cut off in a double pack. The United players made a slight adjustment after receiving the ball and the ball was handed to right-back David Beckham.
A precise long pass with a distance of more than 40 meters. It completely messed up the Arsenal defence. York and Cole exchanged headers and then a one-two before the latter slotted home the near corner.
This seemingly simple and rough style of play is actually based on a complete tactical system, which can not only give full play to the personal abilities of the two, but also amplify the tacit cooperation between each other, and the goal seems to be a matter of course.
"Silly, don't change it sooner!"
The four in the stands didn't have a good impression of Arsene Wenger. I didn't explode directly, it was because there was a lady around.
Of course, conceding a goal means change. It is also an indisputable fact that Youmo has gained more playing time as a result.
Li Jingyu finished chanting triumphantly, and slapped Li Tie on the back, as if the other party did not listen to persuasion.
"Damn!" Li Tien muttered, stretched his neck to look at the sidelines.
You Mo can still be seen in the place where the substitutes warmed up.
"Beckham's long pass is so accurate that the goalkeeper can't catch up with the ball."
Li Jian inhaled the cool air when he saw it, and his heart was even cooler.
What kind of monsters are these!
"It's clearly a counter-alignment pass. Not only is the advance amount very clear, but also very purposeful. Arsenal's two centre-backs were slow to keep up with the pace of their opponents' movements, and previous dangers were defused by Patrick Vieira on a couple of occasions, this time due to team-mates out of position. There's nothing he can do about it. ”
Sui Dongliang was still looking up at the replay on the big screen, shaking his head lightly as he watched.
This fatal sharpness of one blow is really unforgettable!
"yes, sometimes I wonder what these guys are thinking when they're on the field, how they can do so many complex calculations in that instant."
also sighed, took the binoculars at hand by the way, and stared carefully at the No. 7 player who had become a national idol.
If you're at Manchester United......
"The usual high-level training maintains their physical sensations, and this kind of movement is all subconscious, and there is only a few tenths of a second at most to think about the time." Sui Dongliang turned his head and finished explaining, and he also frowned.
The restarted game of the Arsenal team seemed to be lively, but in fact it was still hitting the iron plate. This situation continues, and if you lose one more, the game will be completely out of suspense.
What was Wenger thinking?
"It's less than 65 minutes, don't worry!" Li Jingyu looked very understanding, but he was slapped in the face as soon as his voice fell.
In the 59th minute of the game, in the suddenly amplified noise, You Mo appeared on the sidelines.
"Damn, Da Yu, your crow's mouth has caught up with Bailey!" Li Tie pointed at Li Jingyu, who looked embarrassed, and smiled back and forth.
"Replace whom, I'll see, I'll see!" Li Jian turned his head and grabbed the telescope in Sui Dongliang's hand, not caring what the two were doing at all.
"Anelka's performance is not bad, Petit is average, I guess it is the latter." Sui Dongliang's previous homework has now come in handy, and the "Petit" with French pronunciation on "Sports" was abandoned by him, and his friends were really impressed after speaking.
"The boss is very popular here!" Li Tie pricked up his ears and listened for a while, but he didn't get anything, but he looked at it with some excited eyes, and he didn't need to understand to know what they were expecting.
"It's all like this, can't you be hypocritical?" Sui Dongliang sneered, swept his eyes around, and let out a group of ridicule.
"yes, you can't win, no matter how good you play, it's useless." Li Jian's psychological quality is obviously much stronger, and the suddenly louder voice around him did not affect his concentration at all.
Sure enough, the binoculars caught the guy moving towards the substitution area.
Petit.
"It seems that Wenger is not going to give it a go, and the boss is probably not going to be at the front when he plays." Sui Dongliang frowned and squinted his eyes at the center of the field.
Yumo trotted to the center circle near the arc and waited for his opponent's goal kick to take off.
"Not necessarily, anyway, it's behind, the two forwards give it a go!" Li Jian retorted casually. The eyes were also fixed on the guy wearing the No. 11 shirt of the Arsenal team.
After a while.
"Why did the boss choose No. 11 instead of No. 9?" Li Tie felt that he was an idiot after asking, so he quickly covered his mouth.
The laughter came as promised, and Anelka, who wore Arsenal's No.9 shirt on the field, also seemed to hear it, proving his presence with a long-range shot from outside the box.
Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, who had already announced his departure at the end of the season a month ago, denied the ball with a beautiful side-by-side pounce.
"It's so stretching, tsk. At the age of 35, the state is really good! Li Jian looked at it again and took a breath of cold air, but it was much calmer than before.
After all, if you eat too many meals, your vision will naturally be different.
"The creator of Danish fairy tales, this level is deserved." Li Tie hurriedly interjected and came in, and the guy next to the province laughed endlessly.
"yes, the miracle that the Danish team did could hardly be replicated." Sui Dongliang sighed with a sigh of relief.
They also did miracles in '93, but to be honest, the junior team won the world championship. How many can dominate the senior team?
"Compared with the miracles created by the boss, the difficulty is still lower." Li Jian stretched out his hand and put his hand on his good brother's shoulder, and said with a smile: "There are many underdogs in the cup, and one game will determine the winner!" ”
"Well, Kaiserslautern has been a surprise in at least twenty games in a season, and this ability to do miracles may not be the same." Sui Dongliang nodded, his expression a little relaxed.
If you can do miracles twice, why can't you have a third time?
"Yikes. Lu Wei is also on it! ”
An exclamation of surprise interrupted the thoughts of several others, and everyone looked up at the same time. Confirm the time of the game first.
61 minutes!
So early?
"Jiang is old and spicy, the boss is in trouble now." Li Tie pursed his lips with emotion.
"The fighting style of Ferguson and Arsene Wenger is like two masters playing chess. But now Arsenal has no hole cards, and the chances of winning are very small. Li Jian shook his head slightly. He continued: "Wenger was right to bet on the boss, but unfortunately Ferguson also knows the opponent's choice. As soon as Lu Wei comes on the field, the Arsenal team's defense will definitely be tighter, and the boss's ability needs the right opportunity to give full play, and the situation is not optimistic. ”
"Recycling across the board. How many of those goals did the boss score when Kaiserslautern scored? Li Jingyu retorted disdainfully.
"Do you think it's possible? Your own home field, the opponent who competes for the championship, and still plays defense when you are behind? Sui Dongliang snorted coldly, and his face didn't turn away.
"The Arsenal team has always lacked tenacity." Li Jian hurriedly cleared the siege and pointed to the middle of the court, "The boss doesn't seem to plan to continue to play as a free man, and his position is higher than Anelka!" ”
"Huh?"
Everyone paused at the same time, and then squinted their eyes.
The situation is indeed as Li Jian said.
Arsenal really can't tolerate a 0:1 score to stay in the midfield, so the whole team is actively pressing forward to participate in the attack, and Youmo is uncharacteristically at the forefront of the team, as if it has the intention of replacing Anelka's position.
Manchester United is still a steady counter-attacking strategy, Lu Wei appeared in the middle after coming on the field, and Scholes's position has not yet had a chance to perform.
One side takes the initiative to change, and the other side responds to all changes with the same, and the situation suddenly becomes complicated.
Arsenal have always been accustomed to the 4411 formation, but Bergkamp's "1" is closer to the forward position and can be regarded as a fine-tuning of the 442 formation. Now that Youmo has abandoned the midfielder and is directly at the front, the team's formation is suddenly closer to the variant of 433, 4123.
As a result, the balance of strength between the two sides in midfield has changed significantly, and if Arsenal still seek ground passes through midfield, the numerical disadvantage could lead to a loss of control in midfield!
On the contrary, if Manchester United feel that they are at the back and start to attack with confidence, then Arsenal, who are forced to switch to defense, may be able to do wonders with a big foot up front!
Arsene Wenger obviously will not make the mistake of the former, and the Arsenal team will no longer deploy heavy troops in the middle as soon as Jumo comes on the field, but further strengthen the attack on the wings, and no longer pursue the penetration effect of short passes in the selection of passes, and more often use medium and long passes to solve problems.
The effects were soon revealed.
Yumo was in the center of the position, and Anelka could only pull aside or retreat. Although he is not convinced, the situation is stronger than the people, his characteristics are not tough enough, he often suffers when he fights hand-to-hand with Manchester United's physical defenders, and now there are people who are willing to do hard work, and he wants to pull back more to get the ball.
Bergkamp has a more free position on the field, the Dutchman is originally a shadow striker, and the attack is a standard free man play. Now Jumo is the fulcrum at the front, Anelka is indecisive in the middle or right position, and he is more likely to play on the left or in the middle.
Behind the trio are Overmars and Ljungberg, who often drop back deep due to the pressure of their defence. Fortunately, both of them have good skills at their feet, and their passing skills are at the forefront of the team.
Like a game where whoever has the most possession loses, Manchester United, who have been given a huge amount of space in midfield, quickly tasted the bitter fruit.
In the 77th minute of the game, Giggs made a strong breakthrough on the left side, and the ball flew to the position of Vieira in front of the penalty area after the opposite foot.
The Frenchman played a more depressed game, and this will be the time to hold his breath. Leaning on his opponent and securing the ball, Vieira turned around with a cross-step and shook off the angle of the pass.
Ovemas on the left side also played very depressed, after receiving a pass from his teammates, he first changed direction in the middle, and when Beckham in front of him half-turned to prevent the breakthrough in the middle, he buckled with his right foot and pushed with his left foot.
Break through the wings!
The fluid action made the most of the width of the field, and the ball was rolling forward almost against the touchline, and Beckham knew it was bad, and turned to make a tackle!
It turned out to be late.
Overmars's incredible speed completely overwhelmed his opponents, and the ball, which was a little bigger, was now a good advantage.
With a light leap in the high-speed sprint, the Dutch is open in front of him!
Keane, who was making up for the defense, was going to rush over to sabotage, but when he saw his teammates being easily crossed, he could only accept his thoughts and quickly turn around to find someone.
In a 4-on-5 half-time, the combination of the two Dutchmen played a key role, with Jumo and Anelka being closely targeted, but when the ball developed in front of the penalty area, the United defenders had to concentrate on the flanks and prepare to prevent penetration in the middle.
Bergkamp's technical superiority was evident in the circumstances, as Keane and Pallister were unable to keep the ball off the ball, and Ovimas finally got a comfortable cross from outside the box on the left.
You Mo still couldn't find his rhythm in this kind of teamwork, and after rushing into the box too early, he found himself in an offside position, and turned and ran back. Anelka was just connected to Overmars' cross, leaped high and finished with a high-quality header that he was not good at! (To be continued.) )
