Chapter 265: Wolf Hunt 2
"It's finally here, let's take a look at Roma's starting line-up.
No. 32 Dhoni; No. 13 Motta, No. 21 Diamutne, No. 4 Juan, No. 17 Riese; No. 33 Bridge; No. 11 Tadei, No. 7 Pizarro, No. 22 Tonetto, No. 9 Vucinić; No. 10 Totti.
A 4141 formation, how about Carlo analyze this formation? ”
Lineker unveiled Roma's starting line-up and handed the conversation to Carlo Ancelotti.
Italy looked at the starting line-up, pondered for a while, and said: "I think Spalletti's team will fight hard after the opening.
With five people in the midfield and one person behind, obviously those four will be more forward, and their pressing of Arsenal's midfield will be unprecedentedly huge, and they may start to counter-attack from the first line.
Pizarro and Vucinic, both of whom have a strong sense of shooting, Roma can quickly become a 433 formation in attack. Pizarro and Vucinic cut in from both ribs to give Totti support. This is perhaps the main attacking pattern of the Roma team.
Spalletti's side are very good at fighting in the face of adversity, and it looks like Arsenal will have a little bit of work to take away this series. ”
Carlo Ancelotti analyzed the Roma lineup almost with certainty, and said that Spalletti's arrangement was about the same.
Although Ancelotti looks quiet and even a little dull on the outside, he can become the main midfield of the team in the era of the Three Musketeers, and Ancelotti's ball quotient is definitely superior.
In fact, his later coaching career showed that he not only had an excellent ball IQ, but also an excellent emotional intelligence. When grasping the opponent's arrangement, you can better understand the opponent's intentions, and you can be in the middle of a sentence.
"Indeed, in this lineup, the formation of the Roma team is quite flexible."
After listening to Ancelotti's analysis, Lineker nodded solemnly, agreed with his statement, and picked up Arsenal's starting list, "Let's take a look at Arsenal's starting list and see how Wenger will deal with it."
In the goalkeeper position, although the Spaniard's performance is not reassuring, he is now the best option for Arsenal in this position.
No. 3 Sagna and No. 10 Gallas in the back position, were injured in the last round of the league, Toure has no problem and continues to play. 22 Good Chriss, there is a Frenchman.
In the midfield position, No. 15 Denilson, he has been developed by Arsene Wenger this season, and the other, undoubtedly 6 Haohao, should play all the games if he wants to.
In front of them, there is No. 27 Eboue, No. 8 Nasri, No. 26 Bendtner, but why Bendtner, he is not good at handling the ball in position, a little strange, maybe Wenger has special considerations.
Up front, there is no doubt Dutchman Robin van Persie, who has had a good rest over the last few days and I think he should be awake. ”
Compared to Roma's starters, Lineker is more concerned and curious about his country's team, and he also has his eyes on Mortensen. Everyone knows that he is half Arsenal pass, and this season, he is good at analyzing Arsenal.
At this time, when Mortensen saw Arsenal's starting list, his brows were already furrowed and he fell into thought.
"From the starters, there are no problems with the next seven guys, it just depends on how good they are.
With 4231, Wenger clearly wants to control the whole tempo of the game through control of the ball, which is a safe way.
But judging from the arrangement of the four people up front, to be precise, the three people in Nasri, I don't understand Wenger's arrangement.
Nasri is in the middle and he has done well at Marseille in the past, but obviously he has played against weak weaknesses in this position in the Premier League, and he has magnified them even more.
In the face of four or five men pressing by the Roma team, the pressure on Nasri is huge and may not be able to withstand it.
And what puzzled me the most was why Bendtner appeared on the left side of midfield. In the past, he rarely played in this position, he was a right-footed player and put him in midfield, which would rely more on his ability to break and pass than finishing.
The right foot will cross the ball into the middle, which will have a big impact on his movements, and his ability to break through is not the strongest in the Arsenal team. This may be a new change for Arsenal.
The penetrating power of Arsenal's attack could be a test. ”
It is worthy of having a special study of Arsenal, and Mortensen has also seen Arsenal more thoroughly, and there are a little problems.
Ancelotti didn't know much about Arsenal's situation, but when he heard Mortensen say this, he also chose to nod in belief.
Bendtner's height, playing in midfield, and still on the wing, does feel a little weird.
Obviously, in this game, Wenger made another mistake, which is to love the experimental players, put them in unfamiliar positions, and develop their abilities.
Of course, this will help them to increase their playing time and adapt to different games, but there are also many drawbacks, once they can't adapt, they can make the players lose themselves in unfamiliar positions.
However, this is also determined by Wenger's positioning, he is a research and development personnel, and there are many steps ahead to use it.
Plug and play type, which requires a large price code, with Arsenal's financial resources, directly upgraded in the transfer market, and is killed in seconds, and the other party also saves scouting fees.
Bendtner's ability to run in the past few games has given Wenger another Henry seedling, and Bendtner's ability to move is undoubtedly better than the Togolese who can only stand stupidly on a stake.
Although he is not as good as the Togolese, he does have his own unique characteristics in the small combination of passing and running with his teammates, which is why Wenger put him on the wing to test his ability to handle the ball.
"Words or avatars?"
Referee Luis Enrique presided over the kick-off ceremony and Arsenal took possession first.
“GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO!!!”
After Enrique's whistle, the Stadium of the Emirates entered the first wave of climax, and the rumbling cheers were like war drums bursting, deafening, and rapidly amplified to the whole stadium.
Driven by this war drum, Arsenal's players also began to launch their first wave of attacks.
The ball fell at the feet of Nasri and the Frenchman tried to break through.
Unfortunately, as Ancelotti analyzed, Roma will have to fight hard in this game.
Before Nasri could get past Pizarro, Tadei had already come over to wrap up.
There was no doubt about the duel, Nasri shouted at Enrique unwillingly, and without any indication, he could only retreat quickly.
Like wolves. After grabbing the ball, the Roma players rushed to Arsenal's half.
Pizarro and Vucinic flanked Totti, and the three of them stabbed Arsenal in the heart of the land like three sharp blades.
The Arsenal players retreated in an all-round way, and Xiang Hao wanted to force Tadei's ball, but the other party also knew that Xiang Hao was difficult, and immediately distributed the ball to Pizarro's side when Xiang Hao took a step.
Xiang Hao hurriedly contracted, because he found that his teammates were standing in the wrong position.
With a flick and a button, Denilson's retreat gave Pizarro plenty of room to start.
In just a split second, the Peruvians wiped their South American compatriots, "Bang! ”
Toure couldn't get it out at all, giving Pizarro a chance to kick straight from near the penalty line.
"Smack!"
Almunia stretched his body and stood in good position, and made a beautiful side pounce to block the opponent's cold shot from the sideline.
"Whew, damn it!"
"Luckily, fortunately!"
…
Arsenal fans shouted luck, but there was also a kind of trickiness, they didn't expect the other party to be so difficult and fight so fiercely from the beginning. A faint worry came over them.
And it is not only Arsenal fans who have such feelings, but Wenger is the same, he imagined that the Romans would be desperate, but seeing it with his own eyes still made Wenger a little uneasy and not very reassured. He wants his team to be more vigilant.
After the Arsenal players passed this goal, they did not dare to be careless, and quickly adjusted their mood, hoping to enter the state of the game as soon as possible, and the feeling of urgency hit.
Totti's corner kick was headed out by Toure and picked up by Van Persie, and the Dutchman handed over to Bendtner at high speed, and he was the first to run forward.
Bendtner was the first to get the ball to Van Persie, but unfortunately, his passing was a little slower than Reese's all-out save.
With a "snap", Bendtner's ball path was seen through, Arsenal conceded a goal in their own half, and the Roma team immediately launched a counterattack.
Helplessly, the Arsenal players had to take it back and rearrange the defence.
As the game time passed bit by bit, the Arsenal players saw that Roma was so strong, and they played more carefully, and they didn't dare to concede the ball easily.
Even so, Denilson conceded twice. Helplessly, Xiang Hao had to take back more and take over the ball, and Denilson seemed to have found a support, so he handed over more of the ball to Xiang Hao.
The game fell into anxiety, the Roma players scavenged, and Arsenal attacked cautiously, although Arsenal had the advantage of possession, but the threat was indeed inferior to the Roma team.
Seeing this, Mortensen couldn't help but glance at Ancelotti and found that the other party was also looking at him. The two of them smiled, each with a clear understanding.
Twenty minutes into the game, the game did go exactly as the two men said, with the Roma players pressing fiercely and Arsenal having no advantage.
There are no advantages for the reasons, one is that Bendtner's ability is not enough to be qualified for a fixed wing, and on the other hand, Denilson's support for Xiang Hao is not enough, resulting in Arsenal switching from defense to attack, which is too simple.
"Rob him, rob him!"
"That's it, Francisco, don't let him play!"
Seeing their team more active on the field, more than 3,000 Roma fans became even more manic, and as soon as they saw their players grabbing, they immediately 'coaxed' in the stands and cheered for their team.
The game gradually entered the rhythm of the Roma team, with big turbulence and big chaos.
In fact, Arsenal can play such a game, but it was Arsenal in the era of Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira.
The current Arsenal pays attention to control, guidance, coupled with the lack of confrontation ability, such a big brawl mode is undoubtedly extremely unfavorable to Arsenal.
Twenty-seven minutes into the game, Arsenal paid the price for the loss of such a scene.
“GOOOOOOOOOO――OL!!!”
