Chapter 17: True and False
In the studio.
"It's an upgraded Arsenal goal!"
"The dazzling flank attacks and the simplicity of the final pass and shot are impressive!"
"It's not a chance opportunity, it's perfectly grasped by Yu Mo with his strong jumping ability. Such a header is not uncommon in his career, but the shock it brings to this team should not be underestimated! ”
"Gorgeous is enough, violence is coming!"
"In slow-motion replay, we can clearly see where he was before he started."
"More than two metres behind Leeds centre-back Bowyer!"
"Like a hungry wolf that smells blood, he spotted the location of the killing machine before anyone else!"
"Fast, ruthless, accurate, Bundesliga goal machine, driving Highbury!"
After roaring for three full minutes, Zhan Jun felt a little dizzy due to lack of oxygen.
His voice was deep and powerful, roaring like a powerful subwoofer. Such a voice echoed in the commentary hall, and even the director with a serious face couldn't help but get his blood pumping.
This sudden burst of excitement is more of a fright than excitement.
So did the audience, and so did he.
Arsenal's style of play has always been more than flashy, not tough enough. As a bystander, some people admired their exquisite foot skills, while others shook their heads and sighed at their weakness when they hit hard. As a professional commentator specialising in the Premier League, his attitude is similarly ambivalent.
The artwork is like a technical football, although it is beautiful. but fragile. Sometimes the people who watch it are pleasing to the eye, and sometimes the broken people are anxious.
Today, with the rapid development of competitive sports, this kind of spectatorial play can win a lot of attention. It is easy to think that most people are going in the direction of modern football.
Only those who truly understand the spirit of competition can understand the misunderstandings.
Gorgeous is only a surface, a means rather than an end. No matter how good you play, you can't win the game, you can't win the championship, everything is a flash in the pan!
Last season's Arsenal played equally gorgeous, but the whole team was united and full of spirit. Facing Manchester United, who are about to complete the three-in-a-row title. In the face of the road to the championship, which no one is optimistic about, they broke out with amazing combat effectiveness. At Old Trafford on March 14 this year, they were under the noses of 76,000 spectators. Relying on Overmars's goal, 1:0 to beat the defending champions!
At the end of the '97-'98 season, that race was considered a turning point in the title race.
This perfect combination of will and technology is actually the real competitive spirit.
In the eyes of all. Such a team with the style of a giant. With just one European Cup to establish a giant status, there's no reason to be complacent and stagnant.
The truth is not so simple.
A top chef who is accustomed to a full banquet of Manchu and Han, can he still see the light and simple home-cooked side dishes?
With this concern in mind, Zhan Jun began the commentary of this game. Arsenal's table for the first 30 minutes
The value of this fear is now accurately confirmed, and he, like all gun fans, is beginning to worry about the situation of being out of the way.
The opponent was besieged in the whole game, and the result was a 0:1 loss. This kind of drama is so common that it is not even halfway through the game. Signs are already looming.
He saw You Mo's performance in these 30 minutes very clearly, because he was mentally prepared, he didn't think this performance was a big deal. He believes in Arsene Wenger's ability to develop young people, and he thinks this guy is just too young to understand the manager's good intentions.
With this kind of thought, You Mo's figure is no longer deliberately concerned by him, and the performance of the entire Arsenal team is what makes him extremely worried.
Until this moment comes.
The killer wandering in the shadows seems to be ordinary, but as long as there is a moment of murderous blooming, it will inevitably bring a bloody storm!
The silent, bland, unobtrusive guy compared it to the devout followers of the whole gorgeous football team, and the stark contrast made his heart suddenly move.
If the two can be combined perfectly, how high will this team be?
Thinking of this, the next question becomes very clear.
How can it be combined?
Arsene Wenger is also thinking about it.
It's no secret that Anelka wants to transfer, and Real Madrid's offers have been stabbed in the newspapers. He brought You Mo here, in fact, to take the place of this bad boy.
There are a number of reasons why the transfer was not successful, from clubs to clubs, player performances, and commercial negotiations, all of which could put a good-looking transfer on hold. Real Madrid's bid was low, in fact, they felt that this guy's performance was not enough to occupy the main center position of the Galaxy Battleship.
At the moment, Anelka is in good form, and there is no run-in problem with the team, and it is normal for his value to rise with the team's record in the current situation.
Since the player wants to leave and the club wants to sell, of course, it is necessary to get the maximum benefit possible before the deal is successful. In his opinion, whether it is money, records, or the personal interests of players, there is a possibility of win-win situation, of course, it must be implemented firmly and undoubtedly.
The team needs a consistent scorer, and Anelka won't let go of the opportunity to put in a hard job to attract potential patrons.
In this situation, it has become an inevitable choice to continue to use the French as the main center forward, with the goal of maximizing the interests of the team and the club. Pressing You Mo on the bench before was actually the result of this consideration.
The choice of Yumo to start today's game is not because he deliberately wants to take Anelka's main position. But as soon as such a goal appeared, trying new tactics, experimenting with new playing styles, and running in a new lineup seemed to become a top priority.
How to choose?
The whistle blew at half-time, but the 1-0 score made him frown.
Dressing room.
The dressing room was not lively.
Kaiserslautern is also a multinational force, strictly speaking. Owns Denmark, Bulgaria, Brazil. The Bundesliga dressing rooms in Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Germany, the United States and China are truly international exchanges. It is a pity that although there are many countries, the number of people is small. There are almost no groups like You Mo and Lu Wei, and there are no small groups with the country as a unit.
The multinational force at hand is very different.
The French are now thriving and now have more say in the dressing room than the English. Not caring about outsiders is their consistent style. It's impossible to change anything with a goal like that.
Dutch boss Bergkamp is almost demanding in detail, and few people in life can communicate with him more than three sentences. As a result, apart from Overmars, few other people in the team took the initiative to talk to him.
The England Gang is older and calm. The active liveliness of young people is a thing of the past for them. Even if it was an exciting goal today. The old guys will only ponder silently in their hearts and digest carefully.
The commander of the Chinese gang is very lonely.
The scene in front of him did not make him feel unusual, but he inevitably remembered the past in silence.
Rehhagel, Rachinho, Kuka, Lu Wei, Barak
Although the figures of these guys were far away from him, the voices and smiles did not leave his mind.
Choosing strong is for a better tomorrow. But where can the sourness of parting be so easily erased?
"Good job."
The tears quickly blurred his eyes so that he didn't look up, by the sound. He felt he could guess who it was.
Overmars.
The Dutchman took the initiative to talk to him after the last game, and now there is no psychological barrier to speaking.
The exchange between the two was actually very simple, that is, Ovimas explained the meaning behind his actions a little after the game, and Yumo said that he understood. This kind of communication is common in a team, and the two of them don't feel too strange to stay.
Today's goal happened to connect the two directly, which made the artistic Dutchman sense something, so he took the initiative to come over and talk.
"It's okay, your passing is more commendable."
You Mo still didn't look up, and looked at the floor as he spoke, his reaction a little flat.
He was in a state at this time, like a kind of domestic delicious meal after being accustomed to it, and suddenly facing a tasteless foreign fast food.
Lack of interest, but have to pretend to have a good appetite.
"You don't seem to be in a good mood?"
The Dutchman was keenly aware of the other party's state and was not angry, but just a little curious.
Isn't it worth the excitement that this guy opened the scoring with such a personal goal and under the watchful eyes of 50,000 loyal Gunners fans?
"yes, I remembered my former teammates."
You Mo walked out of his thoughts, raised his head, and looked at each other with red eyes unconcealed.
Overmars was taken aback.
At first glance, he thought this guy was sick, and after looking closely, he almost exclaimed.
God, the fear of flying is already killing people, and there is homesickness again?
I wanted to open my mouth to comfort something, but he wasn't a good guy, and he stared at him a little wide-eyed for a while.
Arsene Wenger's arrival resolved that embarrassment.
The professor's frown was equally unreserved.
The voice is also a little hoarse, as if the throat that smokes too much after staying up late is too much to suffer.
"Everyone's efforts have worked well, let's omit the praise by name, and let's go directly to the tactical link."
'Mo's goal has solved the problem of the attacking system not working well, but it's not something we're good at, and to aim for it would be a big deviation from the direction of this team.
"Therefore, the score of the first half is worthy of the fans' joy, and the attack power is not played to be worthy of our vigilance!"
Wenger turned his gaze to Youmo, and after confirming that the other party was not in any unusual mood, he quickly turned his gaze away.
"In the second half, Mo still has to appear more in the position where the center striker should appear, cover more for his teammates, transfer, and play the role of the bridgehead that the center should have. Others also need to pay attention to the fact that the purpose of breaking through the wing is to create a killing opportunity in the middle, and they cannot blindly indulge in the advantage of the wing. ”
"Okay, there's still a long way to go, keep up the good work!"
Arsene Wenger quickly turned away after the speech, and the dressing room became more and more deserted.
The attitude of the manager is already so obvious, even if he wants to try a different style of play, he can only follow the requirements in a regular manner.
The score remained 1-0 until the 66th minute of the game, when Arsene Wenger made the famous substitution.
When Youmo was replaced by Anelka, the standing ovation of the fans was quite spectacular, but unfortunately this guy really couldn't get excited about something.
The gaze is calm, the slap is tapped, and this state is faithfully recorded by the camera for the next day's media to wrap up.
The match ended at 1:0.
Anelka was clearly a bit impatient, and when he came on the pitch, whether he dribbled or shot, the choice was not reasonable. After wasting a few chances in quick succession, Leeds United's counter-attack was quite imposing, and if it weren't for goalkeeper Seaman's excellent performance, most of the home hope of winning three points would have been lost.
At the end of such a game, reporters have felt the need to dig deeper!
Despite the victory, the game is hardly exciting, and if the defending champions face strong opponents in this form, then Arsenal may not have a good season.
Youmo's goal was the only highlight of the game and the most concentrated reflection of the highlight performance of the entire Arsenal team. Purely in terms of efficiency, two goals in two games can be called the best reinforcement in the Premier League at present.
However, apart from this goal, his offensive performance was not satisfactory in the 66-minute game.
His lack of positional sense when playing the role of center forward is a problem that everyone can see, and it is also regarded as the main reason for the team's poor attack.
A team that lacks a center forward and wants to penetrate the ground in the middle is a difficult one. Leeds United, who suffered a loss on the wing in the first half, quickly learned their lesson and simply let go of the wing to prevent a breakthrough. The result of the accumulation of manpower in the middle not only cut off the success rate of the opponent's crosses, but also prevented the opponent's penetration in the middle.
In this way, the impatient British newspaper has come to a conclusion.
This guy isn't suited to play as a lone center!
This argument is not without its supporters.
Ferguson and his disciples also had two victories, and they were in the mood to express their opinions.
"In my opinion, Arsenal and Kaiserslautern are completely different, there is no comparison between the two. As the defending champions, their style of play has matured so much that they don't need to change their style of play, at least against their opponents in the Premier League. ”
"Of course, it's not a good thing for a team to play too one-dimensionally, and their win is the best proof of that. As with their recruitment strategy, we have the skills of a South American player at the feet and he gives a decent boost to Manchester United's tactical system. ”
At first glance, the content of such an interview looks admirable, but in fact, only a guy with a certain sense of smell can spot the pitfalls.
If you don't make changes to your Premier League-level opponents, how can you have a skillful tactical style to face European opponents?
At home, at night, the phone rings.
Wang Dan thought it was Lu Wei calling, but as soon as he picked it up, he was a little stunned.
Jody.
After a few casual conversations, the phone quickly hung up, and she was very amuseful not to disturb the hellish guys in the room.
"What happened to him in Germany?"
After You Mo finished a long set of push-ups, he asked casually.
"It's okay, I'm trying to get used to it. His starting point is not as high as Zhang Xiaorui's, and his mentality is relatively peaceful. ”
"yes, if it weren't for us, he would have been impressive in the Bundesliga."
"Why are you talking about that, tell me about your impression of Arsene Wenger?"
"It's not good, it's bad things about people behind your back."
"Really?"
"Of course I lied to you." (To be continued......)
