Chapter 479: Transformation
readx;
Real Madrid was very low-key before the game, except for Wang Li, who said that Real Madrid must win in an interview with the media, the other players were immersed in training, and they seemed to want to use the results of the game to speak. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It can also be seen from here that Carlo's pre-match approach did not make much difference, and the players were still more or less under pressure.
Consider that last season, Real Madrid were eliminated in the second leg of the round of 16, so this time it seems that they want to be embarrassed. Either way, for the Real Madrid players, beating Arsenal to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League is not only for the club, but also for themselves, and they all want Real Madrid to go to victory.
Unlike Real Madrid's low profile, the Arsenal team seems to be full of confidence.
Among them, the king of Highbury Henry is the most surprising, this Arsenal super scorer has reached 1.3 goals in a single game at Highbury Stadium this season, and many media are already talking about Henry Henry will undoubtedly be the top scorer in the Premier League this season.
In an interview with reporters, Thierry Henry said that Arsenal would come back from defeat to beat Real Madrid to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
'It's not too difficult, we just have to play 2-0 to win, we don't need anything other than winning. We're ready for everything, and in Highbury, in front of tens of thousands of Arsenal fans, we're going to do everything we can to beat them with dignity. ”
Afterwards, Thierry expressed confidence in himself: "I'm in good shape and I think I'm going to score in this game. ”
"The brunette says before every game that he can score goals and he was really successful, I didn't score as well as him, but I think at least I can score in this game."
Arsene Wenger looked good in his pre-match press conference, the Frenchman was confident in the game, "Last season was a failure for Arsenal and we have to win some trophies to keep the fans happy, for us the league is very competitive, but the Champions League is also our goal. ”
Arsene Wenger spoke eloquently about Arsenal's goals this season and looked quite confident.
"Our goal is to win the championship and this race will be the road to the championship and I am confident that we will succeed. The players have been in good form lately, we've been playing well in the league lately and I hope this game will play well as well, which will give the lads more motivation. ”
At the same time, the players of both teams have been changing their clothes in the locker room, waiting for the time to slowly wipe off and get ready to play.
Half an hour before the game, the head coaches of the two teams rushed to the locker room to make the final pre-battle deployment. In fact, Carlo really has nothing to emphasize, the tactics have been arranged before, and now everything needs to be played by the players on the spot.
However, Carlo still emphasized the defensive problem, at Highbury Stadium, Arsenal will definitely launch a bombardment of attacks, whether they can defend the goal, may become the key to victory, he pinned his hopes on the central defender Ramos and goalkeeper Casillas, a few words of emphasis on the two of them, and then emphasized that the two full-backs should be less inserted and try to defend well.
And for Wang Li, he really has nothing to say, Wang Li is the most important goal point of Real Madrid, "free play, score a few more goals" He can only say this. Wang Li's role is to score goals, and there is no doubt that as long as he can score more goals, then it doesn't matter if Real Madrid concedes a few goals.
However, Carlo has a little confidence in this regard, because Wang Li has never let him down, and he has never failed to score in a game, and this kind of performance is satisfactory to every coach.
When both teams came on the pitch, almost every Arsenal player who revealed their names received applause from the audience, while the Real Madrid players were booed in waves.
"Forward Allen. King!! ”
When the name came out of the mouth of the on-site commentator, this boo reached a peak, and now there is no Arsenal fan who does not hate Wang Li, if there is no Wang Li, then Arsenal can at least win one more trophy and will not concede so many goals, and when Wang Li appears as an opponent of Arsenal, this 'hate' has reached a peak.
"Alan, you're really welcome." Seeing the atmosphere on the pitch, Ronaldo, the little fat man who started the game, couldn't help but joke.
"I think you'll have to be careful, if you go to the sidelines now, you'll be overwhelmed by clutter." Beckham looked at the eyes of the fans around the stadium and said with palpitations.
At this time, Carlos walked over and said, "It's the first time I've seen Alan so unpopular, what have you done to them?" ”
Wang Li waved his hand and said, "You still care about the game, when did it become so gossipy." ”
After speaking, taking advantage of the moment when the referee turned around, Wang Li twitched the corners of his mouth, waved his hand to the fans, and then instantly lowered his hand, pretending that nothing had happened
"Shh
A burst of boos that were even more majestic than just now completely flooded Highbury Stadium, and the Danish referee reacted, and when he looked back, he saw that the Real Madrid players were standing there in a neat row, and nothing happened, which made him scratch his head in confusion.
Carlos, "Alan, you're so shameless" was stunned, and he seemed to understand the resentment of the Arsenal fans at this time.
When a group of people booed a player in the audience, that player was not afraid at all, but found an opportunity to provoke, and was never punished, which is absolutely intolerable to ordinary fans.
However, Wang Li is not worried at all, as an England fan, no matter what grudges other English club teams have with him, but those fans off the field are still very friendly to him, after all, he is going to represent England in the World Cup, and when the time comes, these Arsenal fans will also become his fans.
As for provoking the fans, it's just funny.
Well, that's all.
Also, whenever he comes to Highbury Field, there is an extremely strong goal**, which may be a reason for revenge
After the start of the game, Arsenal took advantage of the home advantage and launched a stormy attack on the Real Madrid goal amid the cheers of the fans at the scene.
Arsenal's style of football is fast, simple and direct, and every pass they pass has a certain purpose, and the traditional surname of this attacking style is extremely strong, unless Real Madrid chooses to defend with all their might, otherwise there will be loopholes, and then it will be Arsenal's chance.
Obviously, Real Madrid will not be able to defend with all their might.
Neither the fans nor the players want to win with this tactic, and even if they do, if they make a mistake or if Arsenal play too well, they won't necessarily win.
Wang Li also feels that the advantage of two goals is not safe, and Real Madrid needs more advantages to ensure victory.
Since Real Madrid wants to attack, then the three fronts must be opened, even when defending, they must intermittently open the formation to ensure that they can quickly change when counterattacking and strive to find good opportunities for the team.
Before the game, Wenger's tactics for Arsenal were attacking, and for Wang Li's defense, he only sent Campbell to keep a close eye on the defense, the Frenchman was very decisive, he knew that it must be Arsenal's offensive battle in the home game, what the team needed was to quickly tie the score, or even overtake, only in this way could Arsenal stand on the same level as Real Madrid.
In this game, Adebayor replaced Van Persie, who did not show much on the field, and he, Thierry Henry and Cesc Fabregas formed a triangle formation to impact Real Madrid's forward line, with the midfielder and Cesc Fabregas's command, Adebayor and Henry often got good opportunities.
However, compared to Henry's experience and decisiveness, Adebayor is still immature, although he seems to have adapted to Arsenal's style a little, but his lack of youth and experience hindered his performance, and Arsenal got a good chance to shoot on goal just after the game began.
"Henry received the ball, he deftly turned and shook off Ramos and shot!!"
Suddenly, a burst of cheers erupted in the stands, but unfortunately the football passed by the post, and Henry's cold shot brought a lot of impact to the defenders of Real Madrid, the top scorer of the Premier League, came up to show great strength.
In Highbury, he is a worthy king!
'Just four minutes into the game, Thierry Henry had a really good shot and although it was a bit unfortunate that the ball didn't go in, it looked like the Arsenal players were in good shape as a whole and we are looking forward to the game getting better.'
Obviously, in the mouth of the on-site commentator, the most exciting game is that Arsenal has been attacking around Real Madrid, and then scored many goals, which is what he calls wonderful and what Arsenal fans are looking forward to.
However, the Real Madrid players obviously will not agree with the excitement of this way, and they interpret another kind of excitement with their own interpretation, perhaps, it is an 'ugly' game in the hearts of Arsenal fans.
Compared with Arsenal's attack, Real Madrid's attack is gorgeous, when football is in the midfield, between the players' passes, there will often be some eye-catching movements, and the fluency of the match is not comparable to the Arsenal team, of course, between this fluency, there are also some South American and Spanish artistic football styles, this style will be a little impractical.
In short, both styles of attack have their own merits.
In this game, Wang Li also started as a midfielder, his position is basically before the midfield, the position of the front waist, maybe the shadow striker can also be, Real Madrid's formation is 4312, this formation is rarely used by Real Madrid, they generally use 442, but changing the head coach is equivalent to changing the style, Carlo feels that such a formation is more conducive to attack.
In fact, Wang Li is a little uncomfortable in this '1' position, and there are still some problems with the cooperation between him and the team, but with the sensitive feeling of Xiao Wuxiang's success, he can still perform in a decent manner, at least not dragging the team's back legs, and after such a long time of training together, Wang Li's progress in passing and receiving the ball and running position is obvious, and he has gradually adapted to Real Madrid.
Of course, this is by no means the whole of Wang Li's performance, when he chooses to go straight into the penalty area or dribble the ball himself, it is the most dangerous for Arsenal, and it is also the time when he performs outstandingly.
From the back to the front, the football completed 18 passes between Real Madrid players, this gorgeous attacking method, the fans in the audience shouted wonderful, but for Arsenal, they could only choose to remain silent.
This time, Wang Li received a pass, and he was about 3 meters in front of the big penalty area line, which was completely ready to shoot.
But when they saw Wang Li receiving the ball, the Arsenal players were very autonomous and positioned, so that Wang Li did not have a shooting angle, and slowly stepped forward to press, and they prevented Wang Li from shooting in this way.
Arsene Wenger's approach to defending is really useful, and in Wenger's opinion, the brunette on the pitch will then break through with the ball in search of a shot, in which case the Arsenal players will surround him and the end result will either be a tackle or a blockade of his shot.
Of course, there is also the possibility that the brunette found a shot and posed a threat to the Arsenal goal.
But this situation is what Wenger doesn't want to imagine, because if this happens, there is nothing he can do, after all, he is just a coach, he has racked his brains to defend Wang Li, if this still allows him to score, Wenger can only blame the club for failing to buy this brunette boy to Arsenal.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Wang Li chose to pass, and it was a return pass
"How so?" Wenger, who was sitting in the dugout, frowned, and he was a little incredulous about the result.
The ball was handed to Beckham, who slotted it straight to Raul on the right side of the box.
As the prince of Real Madrid, Raul has rarely played due to injury in recent times, but Carlo put him in the starting line-up for this game, thanks to his good fitness and good performance in training matches.
But perhaps because he has not yet recovered his form, Raul made a pass that went straight into the penalty area, but did not suppress it, and hit a one-meter half-high ball, which is the most difficult for the striker to control, because the head cannot be touched, and the foot is difficult to stop, and there is no time to stop the ball in the chest.
"Haha, Raul's pass"
But the on-site commentator could not finish speaking, when the ball flew in front of the goal, a figure wearing a Real Madrid shirt rushed out from behind, and he dived directly and headed the ball towards the Arsenal goal.
"Ah~~~~~~h
"Oh my God~!! The ball didn't go in, it was Allen. King, it's terrible."
Wang Li saw Raul's pass, so he hurried towards the penalty area with Ling Bo's slight steps, and finally let him catch up, but he didn't expect it to be such a half-high ball, so Wang Li could only choose this kind of shot.
However, his header was not very good, and after this action was made, he was not in the right position at all, and the ball flew out of the bottom line from outside the post.
Real Madrid's attack also ended in failure
In the offensive battle, Wang Li as the center of the team's connection between the midfield and the front court, is very important, with him in the front court, then the probability of receiving the ball becomes very large, Carlo is hoping that Wang Li will slowly change from a pure striker to a midfield commander.
Before the game, when Carlo and Wang Li said that they hoped he could play this position, Wang Li seemed a little hesitant, but he finally decided to accept it, after all, he had to slowly adapt to the team and integrate into the team, and there was nothing more important for him to grow than a real game.
Wang Li has played three of the previous four games, and he has always focused on improving himself and the team on the pitch, and in all three games, he has performed well, although he feels that there is still a certain gap between his feeling and when he was at Chelsea.
Therefore, in this game, Wang Li has already thought of a way to play - when there is no chance, believe in his teammates, have a good opportunity, and believe in himself.
In this way, not only will Real Madrid's goals be guaranteed, but he will also gradually become more accustomed to the team.
It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do, for example, just now, he chose to pass back, in fact, under normal circumstances, just like Wenger thought, Wang Li almost can't pass the ball, even if it's a pass, he will choose to split the side directly, instead of passing back, because he feels that his pass is more accurate.
However, despite the extra process, he obviously has more time and he has plenty of time to adjust his position and have more chances to shoot.
This choice is obviously the right one, after all, football is a sport of eleven people, and no matter how hard he tries alone, he can't be stronger than Real Madrid as a whole. With the time just now, Wang Li has a lot of confidence in his heart, and he feels that if he continues to play like this, Real Madrid will have a greater probability of winning.
In the next game, Wenger found something unusual, in his pre-match analysis of Wang Li, in addition to personal ability, there were many other mistakes.
For example, Wang Li usually chooses how to play, his running position, where he is used to standing outside the penalty area to shoot from a distance, etc., these details of statistics are very useful for defenders, because they know these and can grasp the actions of opposing players.
However, none of these situations seem to be true.
For example, after Wang Li retreated, in an attack, he did not dribble the ball at all, but cooperated with his teammates several times in a row, and then divided it to the side with another kick.
Again, Wang Li did not choose to volley directly on the left side of the penalty area, but was very dexterous and passed straight into the penalty area, giving Ronaldo a good chance to make a single knife, if it wasn't for Lehmann's good condition, Real Madrid would have scored now.
This kind of performance made Wenger uncertain, and he felt that everything was out of his control again, which made the Frenchman's face frown all the time, and his face was not very good-looking.
"This kid has grown again."
Slowly, Wenger found that Real Madrid's attack was more threatening than when he played at the Bernabeu, and in Real Madrid's lineup, only Wang Li changed, that is, Wang Li's style of play made Real Madrid's offensive power rise a notch.
"He's such a genius," Wenger couldn't help but sigh.
Arsenal's so-called geniuses, compared to Wang Li, are simply a fire. Compared with the moon, this flame is really too far behind
