So what?

Wiltord was completely stunned. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

yes, so what?

It's not like a man what's the big deal, compared to having a clear conscience, is the word "real man" really that important in other people's mouths?

Throw all the blame aside and mess up your career with your family just to prove that you're a real man?

Ridiculous logic!!

"If you fail, you can start over, I don't know why failure is the deadliest!"

With that, Wiltord let out a sigh of relief and raised his head.

"I see, don't worry."

Yumo and Bergkamp looked at each other and smiled, waving goodbye.

The next day was a rare sunny day, as Arsenal were about to face Southampton in the 24th round of the league at the Valley Stadium.

It was his first visit to the port city in the southeast of England, and it was also an eye-opener for him to see the 15,242-capacity stadium.

This course with a history of more than 100 years is indeed quite strange, its length is not even the minimum standard of 90 meters, only 88 meters, and the width is even more pitiful, 6 meters away from the standard line of 70 meters!

After appreciating the rare things, this thing was very emotional.

Isn't it, there are such poor clubs in the Premier League?

In fact, Southampton have been fighting in the top flight since the first year of the Premier League, and with years of relegation success without buying players aggressively, the club is fully capable of finding another place for the team.

Why don't you start working if you have the ability?

The reason is actually quite simple.

Small clubs have limited home ticket revenue, and as long as the team can survive relegation, the broadcast fee and advertising revenue are fully sufficient to maintain normal operation.

In this way, the benefits of the small course are unmistakable.

The smaller the pitch, the more space there is, which is a huge boon for teams that are rooted in defense and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack!

Think about it. Compared to the 90-meter by 120-meter stadium, it is a third smaller in front of you, and no matter where the ball moves during the game, everyone will have the illusion of a penalty area.

If there is not enough space, the difficulty of getting rid of the pass will increase exponentially, which is equivalent to lowering the personal ability of the strong team to survive!

Let's be honest. Winning a game in this way is obviously not grandiose, but fortunately, the FA has not turned a blind eye to this opportunistic behavior. After several rounds of negotiations, their new home, St. Mary's Stadium, is already under construction and is expected to be relocated in two years.

It's a pity that that is later, for a team like Arsenal with attacking blood flowing in their bones, it can only be hehe now.

Southampton are currently 13th in the table, and the relegation situation is not bad or optimistic, and they face a team of this caliber at home. They were very pragmatic in their iron bucket formation, intending to take advantage of the favorable location and people to fight for a victory.

If only it could rain!

The fans in the stands watched the opponent's wave after wave of ground attacks and thought with regret.

Arsenal's main squad is exactly the same as in the previous round, but the form is significantly better than the previous game.

The best of the thorns, Anelka is finally gone, and although the team has lost a lot of tactical changes as a result, the dressing room has been more definite than before. After Veltord was betrayed by his compatriots, the French gang was completely torn apart. The French language, which used to be heard everywhere in training, also disappeared.

The difficulty of this game in front of us is not too big, and it is not small. The most important of these is which side breaks the deadlock first.

This is often the case when a strong team plays a weak team.

Although it is a tie to win, before the draw is broken, even as a weak team, it will attack decently. In this case, if the strong team can score first, the weak team can only press out and fight, and the situation will become open. If the weak team breaks the goal first, the strong team will become a siege. The situation has mostly become how to break the iron bucket formation.

Of course, what makes tactics fascinating is that they are ever-changing. In Wenger's view, strong teams can also fight weak teams and wait for opportunities to counterattack quickly!

So, in the 35th minute of the game, You Mo was taught a good lesson.

The attack didn't stem from an opponent's mistake. To be precise, Southampton's players have limited individual ability, and when they attack the edge of the opponent's penalty area, the ball is already quite reluctant. In this case, it is safest to pass back, and it is normal for people to reluctantly shove a foot forward.

After all, the opponent is also a human being, what if he makes a mistake?

The offensive passing of the weak team often has this kind of luck mentality, so when the ball is more difficult to handle, it often does not seek merit, but seeks no fault.

Half an hour into the scorching scene, the Southampton passer may have been a little unhappy with the 0-0 scoreline, and he opted for a through shot from the ribs of the box.

In the face of this intensity of attack, the Arsenal team still followed the pre-game arrangement, retreating to their own half of the field, leaving only Youmo alone in the front court.

Giving up high pressing and choosing to retreat across the board is not in line with the team's previous style, but when it comes to the game, the effect begins to appear!

Due to the number of back-and-forth back-and-forth of the Southampton players in this attack, the whole team formation has been fully stretched. Although the pitch is surprisingly small, it is also an 11-a-side football pitch, and if you spread out on both sides, the space suddenly becomes considerable.

There were no surprises in the results.

Adams cut the ball off the edge of the penalty area with ease, took two steps forward and then nudged it to Patrick Vieira, who came to pick it up.

As a midfielder, the level of transition between attack and defense is the best measure of value, not to mention the Frenchman's mediocre performance in the last game, and he has to bear a considerable part of the responsibility for conceding goals, so this one he is full of energy to prove himself.

Leaning on the opponent with his back, he led the ball with his left foot and took two steps horizontally, then buckled with his right foot, and his long legs took a step forward, and the defender next to him was suddenly blind!

The frequency of this touch is not fast, and the rhythm and power of the breakthrough method are often used to the extreme, as long as the breakthrough is successful, the opponent often does not even have the opportunity to foul!

The horn of a quick counter-attack began to blow and the Arsenal frontcourt players spread out in a radial pattern.

This kind of spread seems to be a swarm of running forward, but in fact, everyone is very particular about their choice of running position.

The side straight pipe spreads the space for the girl, and the middle lane becomes the hub of the ball handover.

The reason for this choice is simple.

The defensive density is the highest in the initial stage of a quick counter-attack, and if the ball can stick to the middle at this stage, it will not be long enough. Wide openings are the perfect passing option!

The more difficult it is, the more defenses it attracts, which is quite a taste of knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and biasing towards the tigers.

You Mo felt that he was already a master in the rapid counterattack, but as a result, he saw the vision of his teammates at a higher level.

Extremely small range, Vieira. Bergkamp, Petit, the three of them almost every time are a pass, and after a four-foot pass, Bergkamp has already dribbled the ball into the opponent's penalty area!

You Mo's response ended up being useless, but he knew very well that this way in front of him was the product of long-term cooperation, strictly speaking, it was a subconscious move, and it was not a brain at all!

When the ball reaches the edge of the penalty area. The passing skills of the masters are even more vivid.

Just stuck at the other party's supporting feet and quickly slipping by!

That's how you split the ball from the middle to the wings, and the better the power and precision you control, the more options you have for the wide players. If, for the sake of insurance, the side ball goes straight to the corner flag area, no matter how good the footwork is, it is difficult to guarantee the success rate of the cross.

Eventually, Ovemas kept the ball into the corner of the six-yard box for the defenders to get closer.

Naturally, there was no suspense in the result.

The Dutchman raised his left foot high and dropped it lightly, and the defender who pounced on him was joined by the goalkeeper who was ready to save. My heart is half cold!

Take two steps back with your left foot and diagonally with your right foot. Ground cross!

The ball went straight to the far corner like a sharp sword!

There's the Ljungberg who's sprinted a full fifty meters!

The whole quick counterattack line is clearly outrageous, except for You Mo, who plays soy sauce, everyone's characteristics are brought into full play.

Patrick Vieira's attacking and defensive transitions, Petit made a smooth transition with a timely response, and Bergkamp's strong passing quality. The speed of Overmars, the awareness of Ljungberg, impressed everyone in such an attack.

In fact, the problem you are facing is still the same.

When the ball is running at high speed, all judgments are subconscious, and there is no room for thinking. He's just a beginner now. In order to fully integrate into the system, it is inevitable that you will be slowed down by thinking.

He is still suitable for slow-paced attacks, such as one-by-one passing and running in positional battles, fighting alone for the ball when long passes come, and standing in the penalty area to make a wall......

The quick counter-attack at the moment was not the same as it was with Kaiserslautern.

The German team is generally tall and big, and the use of long passes in the counter-attack is very frequent. On the surface, it may seem like a more straightforward way to opt for a long pass, but in fact the ball is not flying as fast as it is on the ground. Moreover, the long distance not only causes the error adjustment time, but also gives the defender enough time to react, and finally invisibly expands the difficulty of rapid counterattack.

Once Arsenal's pure ground flow and rapid counterattack are successful, the opponent is like a marionette, and can only run with the ball.

After a one-goal lead, there was not much time in the first half, and the final score of 1:0 was brought into the dressing room by both teams.

In the second half, the situation changed sides and the situation really became open.

Southampton's side lost one anyway, and it was understandable to lose a few more for the sake of attack. The Arsenal team had a rare smooth foot today, and someone who was willing to play against them was naturally willing to be trained.

The open situation created an open result, and by the time the regular substitutions arrived in the second half, the two teams were already tied at 3:1.

Arsenal's second goal was scored by Overmars from a tight angle, and the third was from a corner. Southampton finally seized the opportunity after 3-0 and retained some possibility of picking up points.

The two sides are fighting back and forth, but Wenger in the coach's box can't sit still.

"What's wrong with you?"

The Frenchman tossed back and forth with the dugout on the sidelines several times, and finally his old buddy couldn't get it.

The process is smooth sailing, the score is worry-free, what is there to worry about?

"What happened to Wiltord?"

Arsene Wenger asked thoughtlessly, but Patles understood.

Stamina problems!

This is a precious respite before the Devils' schedule in February, and with a weak opponent, it should be the time for Wiltord to shine. As a result, the scandal didn't come sooner or later, but waited until this time!

And after such a painful lesson, even if this guy comes back, will his body still be able to find the way it used to feel?

"Yesterday I saw him talking to people after training, it was too far away to hear what they were saying, but in the end I seemed to see him cheer up a bit."

"Well, that's good." Wenger breathed a sigh of relief, "Dennis was also too excited, that move just now was very dangerous, and if you don't do it well, you will be injured." ”

It's a bit dangerous to be manipulated by the manager.

Jump high in the sprint and stop the ball in the air with the outside of your right foot!

The center of gravity is 70 cm above the ground!

It's good that there is no physical contact at such a height, but once someone pulls, pulls, or even just touches it, it can lead to injury!

"yes, Dennis has been in good form lately, and he's been lucky, maybe it's rare to be so happy, and the action is a little bit careless." Patles looked at the field with wide eyes and shook his head a little.

There are even higher flying ones!

Youmo perfectly interprets what it means to "fly with wings", of course, the premise is that there are two soccer balls in the stadium.

This thing almost turned its body sideways in a grab, and finally fell when it landed!

What's even worse is that the ball actually hit the goal frame!

"Alas, they're all uneasy guys!" Wenger also looked at it, and shook his head and sighed for a while.

"Yes, this guy is just that, young, and his physical condition makes people speechless." Patles was happy for a while and began to frown, "Dennis has been practicing with him lately, and he doesn't seem to have missed a few games this season so far......"

"yes, when Wiltord comes back, Dennis should take a few rests." Wenger replied without thinking.

"Huh? What about that guy? Patlet's eyes widened.

"Uh, I forgot ....... it," Wenger slapped his head.

"Do you want to find an instant force before the winter window closes?"

"I've been looking for it, but to be honest, after watching the game habits of these guys, the requirements for the center forward position have improved a lot."

"That's going to be difficult, you know, the winter window is all a little fight......"

"Yes, with Wiltord as a substitute and another instant combat force, it is really difficult to find a suitable candidate."

"Do you want to consider the candidate that MO proposed earlier?"

After carefully making his suggestion, Patles held his breath and waited for the results.

"Zlatan? I know, it's a crazy boundless boy, do you want another Nikolai on the team? ”

"Why not, at least with Nikolai, the club has made a lot of money!"

"3,000,000 pounds, man, I can bring Thierry back for the price!"

"yes. Does thierry mean that? Also, it seems that the staffing is a bit difficult to deal with when you come. ”

"Isn't that guy known as a 'free man', I'm here to see if it's bragging or if there's real material!" (To be continued.) )
