Chapter 117: Keep trying
When I was a child, it was very dark, how dark it was! There was a fire at home, and when the firefighters came to fight the fire, they shouted: Damn, I've lived for decades, and I've never seen a scorched person who can run so fast...
What do I think?
Wenger had a vague premonition before hearing the question, and when the other party finished speaking and the question was thrown, his heart suddenly "chuckled" and remembered that scene. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Alex Ferguson!
Isn't this way of scheming and leading opponents to make mistakes to achieve victory is what old opponents do best?
Shame on yourself, psychological warfare?!
At that time, this guy admired him very much, and was punished for it. Now it seems that the punishment has not only failed to change this guy's mind, but has intensified?
But is there a better way to do it in this situation?
Can the so-called "justice" and "justice" only be demonstrated by unwillingness after defeat?
No!!!
"Of course there will be no objections, since they want to play with means, then we will play with them to the end!"
The French man's mind was racing, the stunned look on his face flickered, and his tone became firm.
"There will be all kinds of opponents waiting for us on the way forward, and simply counting on the constraints of the rules is a manifestation of the weak, and only by recognizing this can we have the ability to deal with all adverse situations."
"Well, we're running out of time, and hopefully this locker room trip will help you in your career."
'It's time to show them on the pitch that Arsenal are capable of challenging any opponent!'
With that, Wenger clenched his fists and swung it hard in the air a few times before turning and pushing the door out.
"Victory, victory, victory!"
A deafening shout rang out from the locker room, echoing in his ears even when the door was closed.
Yes, what is the process of perfection without the fruits of victory?
As long as you have a clear conscience, why not beat your opponent the way you do?
History is the history of the victors, and it is always the weak who are sympathized!
......
Dare to challenge the manager's bottom line with words, in addition to the boldness behind this behavior, accurate vision is equally important.
You Mo can see very clearly that Wenger can dominate the overall situation in an old powerhouse, and can make his name a godfather-like existence, and it is impossible to be short-sighted and pedantic. As long as the situation is analyzed thoroughly, he believes that the French will also put down their bodies to learn from their opponents.
After all, this is a competitive sport, a world of the jungle, and it is not enough to rely on the rules to solve the off-board tricks. Only when you really stand on top of the world and have the strength to despise all living beings, can you not worry about the opponent's various methods and build the team according to your own ideals.
Just like a seedling, it is normal to rely on strong support to maintain its growth before it has the ability to resist wind and rain. Those who use loopholes in the rules to profit while measuring their opponents by the demands of vindicators are the real rule breakers.
Arsenal seem to have risen to prominence in the Premier League, but in fact they can't match Manchester United's reputation and foundations, let alone the world's top giants. And once the construction of the new stadium starts, the club's monetary base will be tightened, and the loss of talent is inevitable.
At that time, wouldn't perfect football become a mirror and a joy?
Rather than succumbing to reality, it is better to change from now on, lay a good foundation with a more pragmatic attitude, at least when the new stadium is completed and the team's ability to resist risks is greatly improved, and then it is not too late to pursue perfect football!
Arsene Wenger's pedigree has the pragmatic spirit of the Germans, although he has become a little self-conscious because of last season's success, but the situation is stronger than people, Abu's arrival has sounded the alarm, and the strength of the European team has instantly awakened his dream of dominating Europe!
Defensive inconsistency, lack of experience, lack of depth in the squad are obvious issues that make this team have to work hard every step forward.
As a head coach, he knows very well that the harder the process, the more important the final victory, otherwise even if the process gives hope, the final defeat will still lead to confidence problems.
However, for Yu Mo, things turned out somewhat unexpectedly.
He had already made up his mind to make the march towards perfect football, but the current situation forced him to choose a more pragmatic approach, so the determination at that time was not ridiculous?
If it were someone else, it might be entangled in this, but this product would be relieved in less than a second.
Not contradictory!
Everyone aspires to perfect football, but not everyone is qualified to pursue it, he can still strive for this goal, but there is no need to demand it from his teammates!
Especially for those who are entering the twilight of their careers and surpassing the old guys who have never been able to surpass before, the real championship is the most important, and all other pursuits have to stand behind.
He can influence others through his pursuits, but there is no need to draw boundaries within the team, let alone affect the atmosphere in the dressing room.
Just as his stats would have been brighter with a different style of play, he is still obsessed with improving his skills at his feet, and the goal is clearly not just about the immediate victory.
Now, go and cooperate with your opponent and put on a good show!
The second half began three minutes later, and as soon as the game started, the Arsenal players looked more aggressive than ever, and in less than 10 minutes, they had already completed three shots on goal!
The signal couldn't be clearer for them, who had just four shots on goal in the entire first half.
Attack, attack, never retreat if you don't take down your opponent!
Of course, the three shots were more of a sign of determination, and they weren't enough to see in front of Inter's well-organized defence, and in the end, only one of the three shots was in the woodwork, which was considered to warm up Pagliuca.
After this wave of offensive came to an end, the situation on the field fell into a tug-of-war, the Inter fans in the stands were still worried, but Simeone, who was standing still on the sidelines, had an uncontrollable smile on his face.
In his team, individual ability plays an important role in the offensive system, so defending and countering is the most suitable tactical option for the team to play to their strength. The situation in front of us seems to be unfavorable, but in fact, due to the overall position behind and the obvious advantage of local numbers, it is difficult for the opponent to create good opportunities. When it comes to counterattacking, Arsenal's high-post pressing, which Arsenal is not good at, will completely expose the defense, and conceding goals is almost inevitable!
At halftime, he repeatedly warned his disciples that after such a first half, the opponent would definitely launch a strong attack at the beginning of the second half to try to break the game, so he was not worried that his disciples would become impatient. In this way, the previous game will firmly trap the opponent until the victory is in hand, and the team will advance to the quarterfinals!
With a big determination in his heart, his pride gradually grew, so he couldn't help but turn his head and look at the opponent not far away.
The look of the French was as expected!
Raised his fists, clenched his waist, his brows twisted into pimples, and the corners of his mouth turned into a downward arc!
Come on, reassurance!
The reassurance was long delayed, and the game came to 65 minutes in a tug-of-war, a time when substitutions are usually used to rewrite the scoreline.
In the past 10 minutes, Arsenal did not continue to play the first 10 minutes as if they were physically unsustainable. With the overall formation retracted, they returned to their old ways and continued to specialize on the right side.
This change seems to Inter players to be just a dying struggle, and there is nothing to worry about, but how to deal with it?
If you are sure that the opponent's physical strength is not enough to support a full-scale attack, then you can station troops on the left side when defending, and use the numerical advantage to stifle the opponent's attack, and others can rest assured that the onslaught is.
This kind of thinking will be taken for granted by ordinary fans, and Italian players and coaches with a high sense of tactical awareness should be much more cautious. Especially in such a life-and-death battle, who dares to guarantee that when there is still a third of the game, the opponent's limit has been reached?
If you still feel that the opponent will have a back move, then you have to continue to wait until the opponent's physical strength is really exhausted, and there is only the ability to parry, and then press hard when there is no power to fight back, and break the enemy in one fell swoop.
But at that point, how much point does it make to press on a big scale?
If you hold on for more than ten minutes to get the right to qualify, press out and attack?
If the opponent bites him before he dies, won't he give the opponent a godsend?
Unwise, big unwise!
Stabilize the defense, wait for the opponent to reveal the flaws, and use a quick counterattack to make the final decision!
It was not only the head coach Simeone who could think of this, but also the veterans of the Inter team, and even the many fans in the stands, who felt that maintaining the score would ensure qualification, and there was really no need to risk pressing in the last half hour of the game. So although the substitution point has arrived, neither side has moved, and the game still continues the anxious situation of the previous period, and the two sides continue to test each other's patience with Tai Chi pushers as if agreed.
Arsene Wenger stood straight on the sidelines, saying in his heart that it was false that he was not in a hurry, but in addition to being in a hurry, he saw the problem more clearly.
Yes, a matter of stamina!
If the opponent starts the second half, the two goals scored in the previous leg are likely to be repeated, and the game will be completely out of suspense.
Only by using a small number of superior forces to make the opponent fearful can the situation develop in a favorable direction without using a large number of troops, otherwise even if the play is done in a full set, the opponent can still use powerful attack power to make the fake play come true!
The 0:0 score and the current situation of the rat thrower, so that the opponent unknowingly fell into the trap of the tie to win, as long as the score is not rewritten, the more impossible it is to really play the offensive ability in the future!
They just need to get through the physical bottleneck and launch a last-minute sprint. At that time, the stimulus of scoring goals will be able to advance to the quarter-finals, and everyone's potential will be fully stimulated, and physical problems will no longer bother them.
It's like boiling a frog in warm water, so that the opponent has unknowingly fallen into a dangerous situation!
In this way, the significance of the previous round, and even the foreshadowing of this stage, is finally revealed!
He was stopped halfway through and felt that the majesty was damaged, but it turned out to be an effort made for this game and to finally defeat the opponent!
This kind of strategic vision is already above him, and the resoluteness and resoluteness of the execution are far beyond ordinary people's imagination, is there already a guy in the team who is comparable to the vision of the head coach?
Thinking of this, the Frenchman couldn't help but turn his head and look at the once familiar figure.
After 15 minutes of halftime, it's a little strange now.
Maybe I'm getting old.
Perhaps we should learn from our old opponents and find breakthroughs in human nature, rather than simply indulging in a game of 11 against 11 players.
......
In the 75th minute of the game, both sides began to deploy their troops.
Another ten minutes were spent in the grappling, and neither side performed satisfactorily.
Inter Milan was highly expected by the media in Italy and even all over Europe before the game, but so far in the game, except for the first half hour when they played to show the level of giants, the performance at other times was really lackluster. Now that the game is about to come to an end, it is impossible to put too much energy into the attack when you can have the last laugh if you keep the score.
Spectacle of the game, bad reviews!
Arsenal have shown reckless determination only for a few moments in a game where they must score goals to change their fate, and at other times they have simply tried to change the tide of the game with local battles, and the result is not surprising. Time is running out, and their stamina doesn't look like they're going to sustain the final attack, and the game looks like it's going to end in a dull one.
Wealthy temperament, lack!
However, when the substitutions were completed, everyone was faintly aware of the smell of dampness in the air before the storm.
Inter Milan replaced the underperforming Recoba with veteran Roberto Baggio, which was a simple alignment adjustment. Arsenal is not changed, one change is two!
Ljungberg down, Garde up, Grimandi down, Wiltord on!
The former substitution was expected, as the Swede was not the master of physical strength, and after 75 minutes of carrying the team's attacking load in such a high-level contest, both the distance he traveled and the special care he received were beyond his physical limits. The veteran Frenchman who replaced him has played well in the past period, and it may be a surprise effect to come on at this time.
The latter substitution was somewhat unexpected!
Grimandi did not contribute much in attack, but in defence he formed a solid barrier with Patrick Vieira in front of the team's defence. His defensive ability and physical condition may not be excellent, but his abundant physical strength, positive attitude, and tenacity that will not give up until he reaches his goal have allowed him to succeed repeatedly in entanglements with opponents.
The "aliens" who shone in the last round have never been able to show their real firepower in this game, which has the influence of the team's tactics, and the more important reason is the diligent efforts of him and Vieira. After all, neither side is willing to invest too much in the attack, and it is not uncommon for core players to play alone, even if you are the World Footballer, you cannot change the tide of the game by yourself in this situation.
Wiltord's defensive ability is mediocre, and if it makes sense to replace Youmo, who is also underperforming, the signal from replacing Grimandi could not be more obvious.
Arsenal are not willing to settle for a bleak ending!
Of course, it was only the onlookers who were surprised by this, and as insiders, the Inter players were not surprised by the choice of their opponents.
Any team that can stand on the knockout stage of the Champions League will be fighting on the back of the water (to be continued. )
