Chapter 226: This Time
You Mo expected it to be good, but if it is said that Manchester United is following the example of East Shi, it is obviously putting gold on his face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The situation is clear.
With Yao Xia's individual ability, it will be difficult to break through Ashley Cole's defense from the front. If you want to fly with both wings, you have to create enough pressure on the left side to create enough space on the right side for the two to fight for speed. In addition, Lu Wei's organizational ability and forward waist attributes are there, and it would be a pity if he didn't make full use of it.
In this way, Manchester United's attack is inevitably to the left, saying that the two wings fly together, but in fact, the left attack and the right are completely different.
Of course, there is an element to this tactic, especially given that the opponent's attack is also on the left, and the value of imitation has surpassed innovation.
It's a pity that it was broken as soon as it started, and the odd soldier is no longer realistic.
The game was scorched from the start, with Arsenal's ground attacks dazzling and United's defence watertight. When the attack and defense were switched, Manchester United's attack on the left was in full swing, and Arsenal's defense on the right was orderly and unrelenting on the left.
Because the two teams are too familiar, the two sides did not have the usual nervous syndrome of the competition, and as soon as they played each other, they showed the top level, and the fast pace of attack and defense was incredible!
This made the eyes of those fans who were not too interested in the Premier League widen and did not dare to look away for a moment.
A veritable pinnacle battle!
Fifteen minutes had passed, and both sides had created chances that neither side had been able to capitalize on.
In this high-paced game, all the chances are a blink of an eye. In a situation where the tactics of both sides are very well targeted and the error rate on the field is very small, the attacking side must create a big enough surprise to expand the threat and create a killing chance.
Especially in the stage when both sides are full of energy and have a high degree of concentration, it is beyond imagination to score a goal!
It was clear that the players on the pitch were not nervous, but they were not relaxed enough to show their talents. They are already close to 100 per cent with full pre-race preparation and are still some way from breaking the ceiling.
0:0 is the product of the real level collision between the two sides, and it is also a true reflection that the difficulty of defense is less than that of attack. It stands to reason that it is normal to appear at this time, and Arsenal's situation is also full of confidence, but from the strategic point of view of grabbing the start, Wenger is still a chess gap!
The reason is simple.
Arsenal's card strength, especially attacking ability, is clearly better than Manchester United's, but the only thing in the back hand is the X-factor of Youmo. In the absence of good attacking players on the bench, it is necessary to establish the lead as soon as possible so that the hidden dangers are not magnified. If all the attacking players are still unable to change the score on the field, then the dilemma of having no one to replace will come early, and the balance of victory and defeat will be tilted in favor of the opponent little by little.
From this point of view, Ferguson's cunning can be seen.
He did not doubt the ability of the Arsenal players to withstand pressure and was not carried away by the one-sided optimism before the game. His tactics looked very conservative, but in fact he expected to show his resolve by anticipating that his opponent would attack aggressively as soon as he came up.
He also did not doubt the tactical execution ability of his own players, and before the X-factor in the opponent's team did not exert his power, the steady and steady strategy was enough to avoid the edge and secretly accumulate strength for the opportunity.
To be on the safe side, Manchester United players rarely foul in front of the penalty area, and as soon as they came up, they were bent over by Youmo's endless creativity. In the inevitable corners, Arsenal did not have many high points, which had limited space to play under the watchful eye of Leo Ferdinand.
So when 1/3 of the first half was over, the closest opportunity on the field to score was actually the opening shot 50 meters away!
This made Arsenal supporters feel that something is not good.
The bottom of the card is already revealed as soon as it comes up, and the lack of follow-up is inevitable. If the situation continues, Manchester United's seemingly simple and brutal attacking style can also create a killing opportunity and turn things around!
Because in the opponent's formation, there is also an X factor!
"Arsenal are attacking lively, but there are not many opportunities."
In the stands, Zhu Guanghu commented solemnly: "These players of Manchester United are too old to be experienced, and they know Arsenal very well, and their every move is expected." In this way, the one-by-one passing and cutting cooperation is in the hands of the other party, but it is an unreasonable breakthrough that can make up the situation and create opportunities. ”
Yan Shiduo's face was not worried, and he asked with great interest, "If personal breakthroughs can play a role, why don't they use them much?" ”
Zhu Guang took a breath and shook his head, "First, the space is too small, and it is difficult to create something out of nothing without the foot skills of South American players." Second, this Arsenal team pursues teamwork too much, and sometimes it will not play directly enough. ”
"Too much teamwork?" Yan Shiduo's eyes widened, his face was incredulous, "I've only heard that individualism is serious and lacks teamwork, but it's actually the other way around you?" ”
Hearing this, a smile hung on the corner of Zhu Guanghu's mouth, "In the past, I also thought that football was a team sport, and everyone needed to serve the team in order to maximize the interests of the team. After coming out, I saw the world and realized that I was still a frog at the bottom of the well, and my knowledge was shallow. ”
"Oh?" Yuan Weiming turned his gaze and looked straight at the field.
"When individual ability has not reached a certain stage, the pursuit of tacit teamwork is the only way to maximize the strength of the team." Zhu Guanghu met his gaze and talked eloquently, "At a certain stage, the improvement that teamwork can bring will gradually slow down and begin to touch the ceiling." ”
"Ceiling?" Yan Shiduo looked curious, as if he had heard a rather peculiar theory, "How to pierce it?" ”
"Personal ability!" Zhu Guanghu accentuated his tone and clenched his fists, "There is no first, there is no second, and in the case of a stalemate, it is inaction caused by inertial thinking to expect the old way to open up the situation." To put it simply, when someone needs to stand up and turn the tide, everyone has to take him as the core, maximize his ability, and make a fuss around him! ”
"Understood." Yan Shiduo nodded, his hands clenched into fists, "Be taught!" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare to ......." Zhu Guanghu looked ashamed, as if he had done something out of the ordinary, and he felt a little bottomless.
But the voice around him dispelled all doubts.
"Yes, the core of this Arsenal team is not clear, everyone can take the ball but everyone is not a hero, but it is not as clear as the opponent's tactics."
As soon as the words fell, a scene on the field made everyone's eyes widen.
Arsenal failed to attack and the ball cleared out of the box. Ruud van Nistelrooy returned to the spot, leaping high near midfield and heading the ball to the right, at the feet of Paul Scholes.
The high pressing came quickly, and the Englishman was not afraid, and moved the ball horizontally all the way to the right!
The versatility of man-and-ball technology played a huge role, with the United players gaining space to run, Yao Xia starting at high speed, and Gary Neville getting a straight kick after a lateral pick-up, allowing him to get past Pire, who was in front of him, and gave him a relatively open area to gallop on.
Ashley Cole didn't make a big deal out of it, and he didn't wait for the opponent to get close and start backing away to keep his distance. Who expected that the opponent had not arrived, and the ball was out!
Before the middle line of the right side has passed, Yao Xia stopped suddenly, adjusted slightly, threw out the big arc of his right foot, and went straight to the left sideline!
Lu Wei!
The wide shift was both abrupt and precise, with a slight in-spin arc just enough for the attacker to comfortably stop the ball and move forward.
The alarm of the defense line suddenly sounded, and Lauren quickly caught up with it and was baptized.
The opponent didn't slow down at all to stop the ball and start again, and directly bowed one end of his left foot and handed it to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who came to pick up in the middle!
Again and again, accidents disrupted Arsenal's defense, and before Kolo Toure could keep up with the interference, the opponent had already completed a one-two combination, and the right side defense was useless!
This time, Lu Wei did not seek cooperation, and stopped the ball with his left foot and started in one go, and in a blink of an eye, a two-on-two situation has been formed!
Yu Mo + Ashley Cole vs Lu Wei + Ruud van Nistelrooy!
In this case, the safest way is to retreat all the way and wait for his teammates to chase back, but with the speed of Lauren and Chloe Toure, even Lu Wei's clothes can't be found!
You Mo had no choice but to greet him.
It's not that this guy is afraid to face Lu Wei one-on-one, but he just threw Vanney to Ashley Cole, and his body has suffered too much, so he is afraid that there will be trouble. It's a pity that the other party also saw this, and the line with the ball went straight to it, and it was impossible to catch up if you didn't want to!
The camera lens quickly zoomed in, and I couldn't wait to see the expressions of the two at a glance.
In fact, there was no expression, the two of them were like an occasional moment when a fierce battle for wild balls was in full swing, their attention was highly concentrated, and there was only one person and one ball in their eyes.
Suddenly, suddenly!
Lu Wei didn't mean to fight for speed, after two consecutive high-frequency touches with his left foot, he slowed down, buckled the arch of his foot inward, and then quickly turned into an outside instep and pushed it to the left front!
Initiate!
The breakthrough line seemed unreasonable, and Yumo only had to fall to the ground with a shovel to disrupt the attack. But such a simple and rough breakthrough method made him have no choice but to stretch out his foot and touch it, and slightly changed the direction of the lower ball!
The reason is simple.
There are too many one-on-one times between the two, and there is hardly a time when they can break the ball as soon as they come up. Lu Wei seems to have lost half of the ball, but in fact, it is expected that the opponent lacks psychological preparation and will not make up his mind to sabotage as soon as he comes up!
Break through the wings!
There is no suspense for the rest.
Lu Wei didn't give You Mo a chance to catch up, and the foot-like personal breakthrough was originally a last resort on the court, but at this moment it became a work of inspiration at hand. After finishing it, he went all the way down and crossed from near the six-yard penalty area, giving Ruud van Nistelrooy the chance to make the most of his physical advantage.
The Dutchman didn't disappoint the old man on the sidelines, with his big body firmly stuck with Ashley Cole and nudged his left foot into the near corner!
1:0!
......
The score that was rewritten without psychological preparation was like a hammer in the hearts of every Arsenal person.
The worst could have befallen you.
What to do?
It's still early, what about the way?
If you continue to besiege, you will inevitably give the opponent more space and better one-on-one opportunities. Who can be counted on if there is a problem in the link at the back that gives them the most reassurance?
Will the omnipotent guy in their hearts be crossed by people so easily?
Was it distracted by off-the-field events, or did you lose out to mutual understanding?
There is no answer.
"Mine."
You Mo only said these two words, then closed his mouth and stood in front of the penalty area with an expressionless face, looking at his opponent from afar.
Just as everyone turned their heads in disappointment and was about to continue the game, an unexpected voice roared.
"No, my!"
Ashley Cole!
He?
What's the matter with him?
"I should have activated the card earlier!" Ashley Cole was obviously tired, and after yelling, he gasped a few times, and continued to say: "Even if you play fullback, you can't forget the rules of central defender, I'm lazy, I think I've done my best!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the not quiet French stadium sounded one after another.
"My mistakes, I shouldn't have been on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer!"
"Being crossed by such a simple two-by-one, my mistakes can't be forgiven!"
"I was too careless to pass the ball!"
"I shouldn't have moved to push the near angle!"
"Damn, I left the problem to you to solve!"
Listening to the familiar voice echoing in his ears, You Mo smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked around, and did not speak, but raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and raised it above his head.
With all his strength, Heng shouted.
"Come on!"
Let's do it together.
......
The 1-0 scoreline was like a reassuring pill for the Manchester United. However, they did not relax in the slightest after a hundred battles, and their attention was highly concentrated, beware of their opponents suddenly outbursting and hurting people.
From one point of view, the team that has won the Champions Cup is indeed calm, and it is much more mature than a junior brother like Arsenal. Ferguson, who was on the sidelines, was not very relieved when he was just ahead, and yelled for a while, until the situation became more stable, he was relieved and continued to chew gum.
Wenger was not much calmer, looking at the team's defensive line making mistakes one after another and losing points, the old man with the French face pulled up, standing on the sidelines wanting to vent but there was no outlet, he could only stomp his feet hard, as if this could knock the sleeping soul of competition.
Yes, he was very worried that his disciples would collapse, so he surrendered.
Although the arrangement of troops was a little reckless, he was not unaware of it. He was just worried that his disciples would be disturbed by off-the-field factors, so he deployed heavy troops on the offense, trying to wake up their state and activate them.
It turns out that the more you worry, the easier it is to make mistakes!
Now that the matter has come to this, the sword mountain and the sea of fire have to break through!
In the 24th minute of the game, Arsenal had two consecutive shots on goal, and Manchester United had another good chance to counterattack. This time they did the same thing, with Paul Scholes dribbling the ball on the right to attract the defence, Yao Xia cutting forward to open up space, and Gary Neville answered.
The first few steps were smooth, but at the end of the process, something went wrong!
Yao Xia had just stopped the ball and looked up to observe, and someone was already roaring in front of him!
Ashley Cole!
Although Yao Xia is two years older, if the experience of high-level competition is not small, the lack of psychological preparation in the situation of on-the-spot adaptability is restricted by experience, and he made a wrong choice.
With a buckle of his right foot, he dodged the rush and gave away the ball!
Pire!
The Frenchman was prepared when he grabbed his teammates, and it was this one that was broken! (To be continued.) )
