Chapter 195: Wait and see
Matches where the strength is not much different, but the final score is far from the same, sometimes because of luck, sometimes because of the wrong tactics, and sometimes because of the style of restraint. www.biquge.infoWhatever the reason for the rout, it is accompanied by a psychological breakdown, which may not seem obvious on the surface, but a careful analysis can lead to a conclusion.
It is often not the weak who are beaten into a sieve, but the disheartened or angry guys!
This Champions League semi-final is also at risk.
The conservative tactical choices left the Arsenal players with a tight grip and unable to keep up with their opponents even if they tried their best. Even the score failed to keep a glimmer of hope, and the moment it was equalized, almost everyone sighed in their hearts.
In this case, it's easy to feel powerless and directly explain the whole game!
The tighter and tighter strings broke, and that's it.
If you want to turn the tide, you need someone to stand up and show the way, and through words and deeds, everyone needs to see hope again.
The so-called spiritual leader, raising his arms and shouting is the lowest way, and the highest state is the highest state when the wall is destroyed in the middle of talking and laughing.
However, there is a more alternative way, which is more and more convenient for You Mo to use.
Inspire, or divert attention.
The current atmosphere of the great enemy is the most tense, and the catastrophe is the most likely to have no master, especially in front of the current game, which can become famous in one battle, or become a sinner in one battle, everyone will have different degrees of gains and losses. If it is an away game, they will not have any reservations, and they will not be stumped by high expectations, but it is this way of first home and then away that determines that the first leg of the game is the most difficult to play.
To put it bluntly, I just want to win and am afraid of losing, and I am worried that my dream of entering the final will be shattered before the second leg starts!
This is fundamentally different from the quarterfinals, and it is also the biggest difference between the champion division and the rookie of the new army. None of Arsenal's players on the pitch have ever been involved in the St. Bride Cup, which represents the club's highest honour, and when it is close at hand, it is inevitable that they will think too much and easily become emotional, leading to a recurrence of old problems.
You Mo was keenly aware of this, and he was not afraid of people's jokes, and opened his mouth to say, "Their show is over, it's time for us to appear!" ”
It's okay to deceive children with this kind of empty talk, and the guys present are all guys who have seen the world, and they will never be fooled and lame like this. So while they fought back angrily, their already wooden heads seemed to be blown by a cool breeze, and they instantly relaxed a lot.
Of course, this effect is also due to his identity and consistent image, and others will only cause displeasure.
As soon as the atmosphere changed, the attention suddenly returned to everyone, maybe the body was still a little unable to keep up with the rhythm, but the burden had been put down in the heart, the victory and defeat were thrown aside, and every action in front of him was done first.
So they successfully crossed the first hurdle and entered the locker room with their heads held high.
The fifteen minutes of the break ended with a huge buzz, and the entire Wembley Stadium was filled with heated buzz and exaggerated body language.
The fans were firmly divided into two factions and argued there.
The situation does seem complicated.
Arsenal's defense has once again exposed the shortcomings of inexperience in this level of competition, and can only learn and sell. As a result, they are left behind by their opponents in their thinking, and their instinctive reactions are often deceived and cannot be predicted in advance. In this situation, it is difficult to keep the goal and Beckham's goal is not a matter of luck, it is just the strength of the goal.
While things looked a little calmer in the closing stages of the first half, this is Arsenal's home turf and if they can only score with the kind of sneak attack they did in the opening game, the result of the two legs will obviously disappoint all supporters.
There are also more optimistic views.
The two teams have not played each other in the last five years, and they are very unfamiliar with each other, so it is normal for one-sided suppression to occur in a short period of time. What's more, both teams are known for their attacking strength, and as long as Arsenal play their best attacking football, Real Madrid's backline will also have problems.
Arsene Wenger will not be blind to this possibility, and the only suspense is how to exert his full attacking power.
Give up the pit defense and press high?
Everyone expands their range of activities and goes all out on offense and defense?
Or more directly, send Yumo to the front line with Thierry Henry and Wiltord to give the Real Madrid players a taste of the power of the three musketeers?
"It shouldn't be too risky, after all, the score of 1:1 is acceptable."
On the live commentary panel at Sky Sports, Martin Taylor denied the bold offer of his old partner.
Andy Gray is very unconvinced.
"Is a 1:1 score acceptable? Oh my God, Martin, you're so easily satisfied! You must know that 1:1 means that the Gunners will have to score at the Bernabeu in the next leg to have a chance of progressing! ”
Martin Taylor laughed.
"Andy, don't get excited, think about it, why did Wenger use such a conservative tactic in the first leg, did he put Thomas Rosicky on the bench just because of Denis Bergkamp's fear of flying?"
"Why? Is it ......?"
"Yes, Spain is not as far away as Italy, and Dennis could have left for Madrid in advance!"
"It seems that Arsenal's line-up is not as simple as it seems on paper?"
"Yes, this round is the first time the two sides have met in almost a decade, and they are very unfamiliar with each other, and it is difficult to get the same sensation from the body as the eyes from the video alone, and they need to gain experience and get familiar with the opponent through the fight."
"So, the next round of the two sides is the real show of strength?"
"It seems to me quite likely."
"Well, it seems that it will be difficult to enjoy the sparkling head-to-head battle in the second half."
......
The next round will be won or lost?
With just a slight reservation, no side will miss the chance to end the match in the first leg.
In fact, if the Arsenal team is destroyed by a fierce attack, Bosque does not mind killing in the second half. But I didn't expect them to play more and more steadily after conceding the goal, as if they had adapted to Real Madrid's strong offensive across the world.
As a result, playing at the same pace in the second half obviously doesn't create the same threat. In this case, if you want to go to the next level, you have to take a huge risk and invest more troops in the attack.
Bosque also did not ignore Arsenal's attacking power, and did not feel that his own defense alone could easily block a terrifying combination of 60+ goals in a season. Therefore, the team very sensibly gave up the intention of fighting bayonets, and was ready to take advantage of the opponent's mistakes to make a fuss.
As a result, at the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid's first attack had just been ended, and all eyes were drawn to one person.
This man looked very familiar, and the running posture impressed everyone, the only difference was that he ran in the opposite direction...... Oh no, oh my God, why is he here again?
Yes, here we go again.
Unlike the first time, this time he made everyone feel dizzy.
A central defender, rushing into the opponent's penalty area at the beginning is incredible, and what do you want to do in the second half, do you think the opponent will still suffer and be fooled?
Sure enough, the Real Madrid players did not feel dizzy, even if they felt nauseous, they endured it, observed carefully, arranged quickly, and dealt with it carefully. In order to prevent all possible threats, everyone retreated and stood by in their own half.
Unexpectedly, the man ran from his own penalty area to near the opponent's middle circle arc and stopped.
What is this for?
No one knows the answer.
It wasn't until Lehmann's goal kick flew just right over his head that the truth loomed!
Move forward?
Back waist?
Or is it just a transition, with the striker being the ultimate goal?
Everyone's eyes widened for fear of missing every detail.
The game did not stop at all, and the top players continued to play with their instincts, even if they had a mess in their heads, and all their movements were unthinking. The only thing lacking is the change brought about by the ability to think and analyze, which seems to be a bit of a routine.
It was kicking and kicking, and after about three minutes, everyone finally woke up.
That's right, it's moving forward!
No substitution means a change of formation!
352? 343?
Faced with such an answer, everyone, including the Real Madrid soldiers, was extremely surprised!
Wasn't the second half as reserved as one might think?
Fight bayonets as soon as you come up?
There are only three defenders left in the backfield, and he is a guy who has never played a three-back combination in an official game, isn't he afraid that the opponent's white whirlwind will blow again, so that the tofu scum defense line will be torn apart in an instant?
A hint of joy welled up in his heart, and Bosque on the sidelines remained silent and looked at the field steadily.
The Real Madrid players did not remain in a state of surprise or disgust, and when they came to their senses, everyone returned to their places and the whole team continued to function normally. Their local coordination is still sharp, and their skills are only higher than their opponents, as if their master is teaching their disciples, and they use smooth ground coordination to attack from all corners, constantly pushing forward until a threat arises and an opportunity arises.
But kicking and kicking, they seemed to have encountered an invisible wall, and they were bounced back every time they hit the penalty area, forming several opportunities for quick counterattacks, leaving the defenders busy.
What's the situation?
How so!
As a top giant, Real Madrid reacted very quickly.
Bosque immediately shouted to the sidelines, reminding the disciples to be careful. The execution of the players is also very good, except for Raul and Morientes, the others in the front court are no longer obsessed with attacking, and the position has begun to retreat and actively participate in the defense.
The situation suddenly changed from four or six to **** open, and Arsenal pressed forward and burned the war to the opponent's half.
It was only then that the real insiders saw the clues!
It turned out that Yumo's sneak attack at the beginning defined himself as a finisher, but now the character is fixed in the midfield position, and together with Vieira, covering the entire midfield!
Both guys have the physicality and tough one-on-one defensive ability, and in previous games, one man could sweep the entire front of the box. The opponents of this match taught them a lesson with delicate foot skills, so they divided their labor and worked together to build a great wall of flesh and blood in front of the defenders!
It doesn't seem reassuring to have only a back three, but Ashley Cole, Kolo Toure and Lauren are all agile defenders, and it's not a disadvantage to go head-to-head against the likes of Raul and Morientes, who have excellent skills at their feet. As long as the opponent does not carry out continuous passing and cutting cooperation in front of him, the three of them are enough to snuff out all the dangers in the backcourt!
In this way, the situation suddenly turned around!
The back field is guarded, the front court is fierce, and the second half of the game has only been played for ten minutes, and Henry has completed three shots on goal!
This was a bittersweet struggle for the Frenchman, who had only two shots on goal in the entire first half.
"Wow, that's a fraction of a second!"
After another shot was blocked by Casillas's quick reaction, the two old guys in the commentary box were extremely excited.
The two were slapped in the face, but they didn't take it seriously.
What's the point of putting away the kick, this kind of game is enough!
"Arsene Wenger's bold change of formation has worked wonders! 352 should be their opponent of eight into four, Juventus's best formation. Now they are plug and play, and people can't see the traces that need to be run-in! ”
"Yes, the skill level of the Real Madrid players is above the Arsenal players and it is difficult to keep the defence solid with such skillful crossing. So they turned into a game, making full use of the confrontational advantages brought by MO's large-scale activities, gradually eating the midfield, and suppressing the opponent through attack! ”
'The 352's advantage in midfield control was clear, and although some of the flanks were sacrificed, the solidity of the backline allowed them to focus on attacking and not have to drop back deep to assist the defence.
"That's right, this team has relied on strong attacking power and tenacity to get to where it is today, and pinning hope on defense is not worth the loss!"
"The morale has also risen, and this attack is getting more beautiful every time!"
"The two halves are completely different tactics! Is this a pre-emptive preparation or a change on the spot? ”
"It's hard to say, although the starting lineup of this team is not difficult to guess, the X factor is really difficult to figure out, and the ensuing tactical changes are also incredible!"
"Haha, like that blitzkrieg goal that can go down in history at the beginning?"
"Of course! But there's one thing I'm very curious about. ”
"Which point?"
"As the youngest player and coach in history, are these unexpected ideas his own ideas or are they arranged by the manager?"
"Do you think Arsene Wenger's character would have made such an arrangement?"
"It doesn't seem like so, but the professor has always had a lot of experience in the growth of young people. The fact that MO has made so much progress in just two years cannot be erased by the head coach. ”
"Yes, it's hard to imagine any other team that allows a player to ignore the tactical demands and play as he pleases!"
"That's right! Oh, I almost forgot! ”
"What?"
'Arsenal opportunities are starting to pop up, will MO, as a midfielder, still stand in the back like a centre-back and watch his team-mates perform?'
"Let's wait and see!" (To be continued.) )
