Chapter 393: Guardian or Martyrdom
"Phew, Wenger is going to make a substitution, substitution, substitution, substitution of Samir?"
"An attacking avant-garde?"
"What's Arsene Wenger's thinking?"
…
Nearly 85 minutes later, after a fruitless counter-attack, Arsene Wenger opted for a substitution.
And this substitution has attracted countless questions.
You know, there are only five minutes left in the game, and even if you count stoppage time, it's only about ten minutes.
At this time, Wenger does not use a defender, but a front-court attacker, an incomprehensible, incomprehensible use.
"What the hell does Arsene Wenger think, they are already in sight, and at this time they don't strengthen their defense, but they use Nasri, is he a defender?"
Lineker was obviously 'provoked', and there was a hint of irony in his tone, and he couldn't stop shaking his head.
"It's not that simple."
Mortensen shook his head slightly, "The Arsenal team, or Arsene Wenger's team building philosophy, ignores defense.
Their defensive ability is more based on the individual ability of the players, so in the era of Adams and Vieira, Arsenal will look so terrible.
Because their ability is good enough, their personal ability and tacit understanding are among the best in the world.
And with the departure of Campbell, Silva and others, the injury of Colodo, and the terrible decline in the depth of Arsenal's defense, which was a big reason why they lost the title last season. ”
"What does it matter, we all know that Wenger is not good at defense, but he should be able to do the basic substitution, but now Wenger's substitution is really unacceptable."
Lineker was a little annoyed after listening to what Mortenson had to say, in fact, he was annoyed with Wenger's use of people, and the doubts in his heart began to erupt.
Since Gibbs's injury, he has felt that Wenger should use Silvestre, although he is always a little older, but at least he is also an orthodox defender and has been playing defense for a long time.
Unlike Eboue and Alexander, who can't go up or down, Arsenal has always been suppressed by Manchester United on the left.
'Arsene Wenger is trying to improve the control of the midfield.
Seeing that Lineker was a little anxious, Mortensen took over the topic, "Actually, he also saw that pure defense, Arsenal's ability is not good, he can only work on the ball."
So he brought on Nasri, added a point of out, added a man with the ball, and Nasri's skill allowed him to guarantee it all.
Replacing Bendtner, Arsene Wenger had five men in midfield, using the advantage of numbers and skill to control the ball at his feet.
In the final moments, that foul by Alexander Song, Wenger actually no longer believed in his team's pure defensive ability.
He's going to push United's entire attacking line forward, putting the ball in the midfield as much as possible to fight for.
I think that's why Arsene Wenger brought on Nasri, a desire to control, a very strong desire to control. That's what Arsene Wenger is all about. ”
Mortenson slowly dissected Wenger's substitution, and Lineker was speechless when he was shot.
Because he knows that Arsene Wenger's tactic has an absolute chance of success.
Take a look at Arsenal's midfield, Nasri, Cesc Fabregas, Denilson, Xiang Hao and Theo Walcott.
This five-man midfielder is almost Arsenal's strongest midfield combination.
Cesc Fabregas can get the ball out and take the ball alone, and if the Spaniards are forced to steal, Xiang Hao and Nasri are more than capable of doing it all.
In the confrontation, Xiang Hao and Denilson defended, while Walcott, his running and speed, were able to open up space in the shortest time and deliver a fatal blow at any time.
On the other hand, on the side of Manchester United, in the midfield, only Fletcher and Scholes have been defeated in numbers.
Even if the four people in the front court withdraw from the attack, their organization and ball distribution are unlikely to be compared with Arsenal, and their ability to hold the ball is even worse.
The only possibility is to rob, crazy to rob, consuming time and energy.
On Manchester United's side, it is already a dead end, and they have no chance to make substitutions.
The final result, as Mortensen said, was in chaos in midfield and Arsenal controlled possession.
Arsene Wenger really dared to gamble, a gamble of his life.
It was a gamble that if something went wrong and Arsenal's defence went wrong, the post-match criticism of him would be enough to drown out the Frenchman.
Call!
Secretly relieved, Lineker had to convince Wenger, and even more so to convince Mortensen, in this time of enthusiasm, he could still calmly analyze the trend on the field.
In the end, it is Jiang Lao's spiciness, Lineker admires it for the Nth time in his heart.
"Alas, Arsenal won't be able to buy a few top defenders."
After Mortenson's explanation, Lineker also knew that he was a little 'vexatious' and sighed.
"What do you think?"
Hearing Lineker's exclamation, Mortenson asked rhetorically.
"It's a bit unrealistic right now, Arsenal just spent 19 million, and this is a team record. Top centre-backs, this,"
Lineker also knew that he was thinking too much, and shook his head slightly, "I hope Wenger's gaze is still so precise, or expect Arsenal to have a second Adams, just like Hao."
Otherwise, they will have to wait until their finances are better. ”
Lineker sighed for Wenger in his heart, and was also gloomy for this England 'giant' who went against the general trend of the world.
"I hope so." Morteson nodded expectantly.
Speaking of which, they all know in their hearts that this Arsenal team must produce results in the next year or two.
Otherwise, what awaits Arsene Wenger is a repetitive rebuild, just like last summer, when the players were bought.
And once it enters that kind of repetitive reconstruction, it will be difficult for Arsenal to do anything even if the finances improve.
Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread.
Although they do not have such words, they understand such truths.
When the time comes, Arsenal will want to catch up again, I'm afraid it will be a few more years, because no one will be waiting for you on the road, you are bleeding and others are accumulating.
From the time Arsenal chose to build the stadium, especially from the club's finances, it was destined that Arsenal would be away from that glorious centre of gravity in modern football for some time.
Everything is equal, and if you choose this path, you are destined to suffer from the thorns of this path.
If you envy clubs like Chelsea and Real Madrid, the owner must be Abu, or money, not money.
"Hopefully, this year Arsenal will have this opportunity."
Looking at the thin figure on the big screen, Mortensen muttered silently, "Is his insistence right or wrong." ”
Compared with Lineker's understanding, Mogson's 'reading' of Wenger is deeper.
Someone else is coaching the club, but this person is running the club, I am afraid that in his heart, he wants to create the Bayern of the Premier League in the Golden Yuan Premier League.
It's a beautiful idea, but he is the head coach.
In the eyes of outsiders, even in the eyes of his own fans, he is just the head coach, his achievements are everything to him, and everything else is false.
In the arena, all justifications are just quibbles, incompetent quibbles. With the loss of time, the paleness of memory, and the passing of glory, this sophistry will become an abomination to others.
If that time really comes, I'm afraid his life will be even more difficult.
Hopefully, he will not be the last martyr. ’
