Chapter 18: Changing Tactics for Coaches (Signed)
"Toot!"
Graham's thoughts were interrupted by Graham's whistle as the game restarted and Arsenal, who had conceded another goal, regrouped their attack.
Ranieri looked at the pitch unhurriedly, with two balls in hand, and he was waiting for the third. According to what he knows about Arsenal, they must have to chase back after conceding two goals so early, and they have to attack again to catch up, especially the players on the pitch are a group of young people, who will only attack more fiercely. It's a pity that Ranieri's idea fell through.
After the restart, Arsenal did not rush to press again, but suddenly took the ball in the midfield, no longer blindly stuffed the ball forward, and played more patiently.
Although Arsenal no longer rushed so fiercely, the attacking threat was not seen at all, and it was endless, creating killing opportunities wave after wave.
In the 38th minute of the game, Ramsey controlled the ball in the middle, and suddenly a straight plug was sent to Chiellini's back, and Vela successfully countered offside, but unfortunately, the single knife was resolved by the world's No. 1 goalkeeper Buffon.
In the 41st and 42nd minutes, between the first minute, Arsenal almost scored with three consecutive shots on goal. First of all, after Bendtner received Xiang Hao's ball at the edge of the penalty area, he turned and shot hard, which was blocked by Buffon with his foot, and in the crowd, Nasri's follow-up shot hit the crossbar again, and bounced back, Walcott grabbed the header, but he was too short to exert power, and was cleared by Sissoko on the goal line.
In just seven or eight minutes, Arsenal played a far more effective and lethal goal than in the previous half an hour, but unfortunately, today's Buffon is really brave, so that Arsenal's offensive again and again in vain. But even so, the Juventus team was unable to play a counterattack because of Arsenal's changes, and Nedved had been locked up by Xiang Hao.
Mortensen has watched the game for more than 30 years, and the change in Arsenal's rhythm, he noticed it for the first time, and the more he looked, the brighter his low eyes became, with a hint of incredulity in his deep gaze, and he said with a little eagerness: "Gary, have you noticed?" ”
"Well, I saw that. The Oriental man leaned in, while the Welsh genius and the two wing-backs withdrew a little, and the positions tended to be parallel as a whole, and Arsenal's midfield no longer gave the opponent more space, and the card position was timely, and the high ball was guaranteed. On the ground, Juventus' Nedved and others couldn't pass Hao's level, and basically couldn't form an effective advance, and it was difficult for Juventus to play like in the first half. ”
Lineker is also a famous player who has been immersed in football for many years, and has a talent for football commentary, and he quickly noticed the difference between Arsenal.
"Oh my God, I don't know what some Arsenal fans are thinking, such amazing insight, such a young talent, they are not satisfied, really, I am a little jealous of Coach Wenger, he has unearthed another talent. You're right, Juventus wants to score so easily, it's difficult, I'm afraid Ranieri will be disappointed. His defence lost the ability to intercept in the middle of the midfield and was dangerous. ”
Mortensen's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and his gaze towards Xiang Hao was becoming more and more appreciative, and he had a bold judgment on the trend of the game.
Because the Arsenal players are eager to attack, and Cesc Fabregas is not there, so in this game, Arsenal particularly relies on the attack launched from the wing, or cut inside, or go down, and the ball rarely passes through Xiang Hao or Ramsey to transmit and output the offensive line. And relying too much on the attack on the side also led to the fact that Xiang Hao was left alone in the middle of Arsenal's midfield, so even if Xiang Hao had three heads and six arms, he couldn't make up for so many places, and it was not surprising that he conceded two goals.
Now Xiang Hao took the initiative to take the leadership of Ramsey's midfield, and at the same time asked him to control the tempo with him, so that Nasri had to move closer to the middle in order to get more balls. In order to maintain the rationality of the formation, Vela also withdrew some in a timely manner, and the situation of the whole Arsenal in the first half of the first half has been fundamentally changed.
This kind of subtle change can only be finely adjusted and arranged by veterans who have been immersed in it for many years, and now, it has been completed in Xiang Hao's hands, how can Mortensen not be amazed.
And Wenger was the same, his originally anxious eyes looked at Xiang Hao with some disbelief at this time, "This kid is really bold." In his tone, he did not hide his love for Xiang Hao, and even had a feeling of joy.
This 4-4-2 transition to 4-3-3 formation was created by Wenger last season, and he saw it earlier than Mortensen, and Wenger had a feeling when Ramsey was no longer handed over to Nasri, but to Xiang Hao. A series of attacking changes from Arsenal later proved their judgment. Hao picked up his mid lane attack again.
Although Walcott and Vela have gradually matured this season, they are not the kind of midfield players, and the wings and nine-and-a-half can give full play to their fast characteristics, and in order to play to their advantages, the attack is naturally dominated by the wings.
As for Nasri, he is a little better than Walcoat and others, and he is also a member of the middle team, but Wenger does not want him to get close to the middle so early.
Arsene Wenger has also tried to play him in the middle, but he has no defensive ability, is too far forward, and is either tackled or frequently falls to the ground, resulting in a disconnect between the front and back courts. After a few balls, he was lost in the confrontation and did nothing. Nasri hasn't been able to adapt to the team's high-speed transition between attack and defence, which is completely different from the low-tempo style of Ligue 1.
There is also a key reason, that is, there is a great conflict between the styles of Nasri and Fabregas, both of them are small and fast players, with excellent skills at their feet and a wide field of vision, which can form a duo on the field, but it also needs to be run-in, and there must be a person who needs to change, and it is Nasri that Wenger wants to change. In his heart, Nasri is his new Pire and Rosicky, who can play the tactical effect of the core of the organization on the wing.
However, this is also a bit of a last resort, because this season Arsenal lacks too many people in the middle, and the control has dropped too much, and Sesker is injured again, and there is no backbone, or no main frame, which can allow Wenger to deploy slowly.
Now it's okay, Xiang Hao once again gave Wenger a surprise, Nasri is responsible for more running around the left and right, while Xiang Hao and Ramsey are up and down, back and forth scheduling and rhythm grasp, vertical and horizontal lines are connected, just revitalize the entire Arsenal middle, Arsenal's courteous and airtight attack appeared again.
Wenger looked at the changes on the field with a happy face, watching Xiang Hao on the field, fighting for the ball, dividing the ball, inserting ..., attacking and defending shoulder-to-shoulder, Wenger is really getting more and more satisfied, but he doesn't know how Xiang Hao is, if he is also so good, then his team should not be far away.
As Arsene Wenger had expected, Arsenal finally came to an end in the first half after besieging most of the half, and in the 45th minute, they created another lethal chance, and Arsenal unsheathed a sharp knife.
Juventus' No. 30 Thiago took the ball near the center circle for too long, originally wanting to consume the time of the game, passing Xiang Hao, who was snatched up, but Xiang Hao poked him lightly with his toes, intercepted the ball, and completed the steal.
Xiang Hao, who got the ball, didn't wait for the Juventus players to have time to react for the second time, and pushed the arch of his right foot inside, and a diagonal plug of nearly 20 meters appeared.
The ball did not pass to Bendtner, who was supporting him in front, but went directly through him, and also through the Juventus backline, which was pulled by Bendtner, and directly into the heart of Juventus.
Bella, who was hiding behind Bendtner, was the first to run forward after Xiang Hao completed the steal.
In training, he and Walcott often play this kind of behind-the-back ball. At the moment when Xiang Hao broke the ball, he felt something in advance, appeared in that hinterland at the right time and accurately, got the single knife ball again, and appeared in front of Buffon as quickly as the wind.
This time, the Mexicans didn't waste any more chances, and before Buffon fell to the ground, a deft shot directly opened the ten fingers of the world's first god.
“gooooooooooooooooool!!! Carlos, Carlos pulled a goal back for us, the speed of the wind with the ball, the final blow like a fox, from the Mexican - Carlos!! ”
Arsenal's young on-site commentator Luke shouted passionately, his lean body, but he burst out with terrifying sound waves, his little face turned red suddenly, and he gave all the praise to Bella, who scored the goal, ignoring Xiang Hao, who contributed most of the credit.
No way.,Who called himself finally hooked up with a sister paper on the website.,As a result, the website was hacked.,The sister paper hasn't appeared for a few days.,The sweet words of the past have also been deleted.,Not even a thought is gone.。 The hatred of taking his wife, it's good if he didn't scold him on the spot, and he still cheers for him and dreams!
"You're the best, Carlos!"
"Carlos, like the wind, well done!"
"Hey, megalomaniac, you have to thank Carlos for scoring the goal for you!"
Not only did Luke not want to see Xiang Hao, but the fans at the scene even gave all the credit to Bella. Xiang Hao passed the ball to him, and he thanked him in turn, and Xiang Hao was really unhappy when he heard it.
"Boy, remember to have a treat." Xiang Hao rubbed Bella's head fiercely and said angrily.
"Hehe, please, please, I'll go too."
"Take me, take me, hehe."
"Atfit Bar, I like it, let's go there."
…
The Arsenal players behind him echoed it, and suddenly made Bella, who was originally smiling, smile bitterly, and read aggrievedly, "No invitation, okay?" "A consultative tone.
"Okay?" Whew, a neat rhetorical question.
One by one, five big and three thick, staring at himself, Bellaton felt a lot of pressure, and quickly nodded, "Mmmmmmmm
'Finally got a goal back.'
After celebrating with the players, Xiang Hao stared at the huge scoreboard, but his eyes became sharper and sharper at this time, "It's not over yet!" ”
