After a night of deliberation and deliberation, Arsene Wenger decided to fine-tune the team's technical and tactical system to a certain extent.

Due to the pressure of the competition and the pressure of the squad, under the double pressure, Arsenal cannot make drastic reforms under Wenger, after all, the risk is too great.

He can only make adjustments cautiously and cautiously, then observe the results, and if there is a deviation, he will immediately withdraw or correct the previous change decision.

As the "warm-up" phase of the season has passed, more and more teams have studied Arsenal's technical and tactical system, Henry and Qin Xiong have been targeted by opponents, Wenger wants to further create a favorable environment for the two to stimulate play, in addition to the team's overall strategy in the "main attack and away counter", now to add a new cover point in the attack.

The system in the midfield and back cannot be moved, and the only thing that can be changed in the attack up front is two wings.

It is undeniable that Pire and Ljungberg have not been as good this season as last season, Pire is a year older and not in the same physical condition as before, while Ljungberg is in poor form after returning from injury, and the rate of recovery and improvement is not satisfactory.

In this case, Wenger needs to make one of the two wings a cover point for Qin Xiong and Thierry Henry, and he didn't imagine such an idea out of thin air, and Van Persie's role was highlighted in the midfield changes against West Bromwich Albion, and it was this tactical role that he implemented to provide Qin Xiong and Thierry Henry with better space to play.

In preparation for the Champions League group stage, Arsene Wenger informed his team of the tactical change in training and then conducted a group run-in drill.

Van Persie, Reyes. Pire. Ljungberg. Hleb, Arsenal can be quite rich in the use of people on the wing.

The ideal tactical effect is that the two wings are in the attack, one wing becomes the response point to assist in advancing the attack, and the other wing forms an inward cutting winger to rush into the penalty area before Henry and Qin Xiong to attract the opponent's defensive attention, which makes it easier for Henry and Qin Xiong to insert back, after all, part of the opponent's defensive force has been contained.

Arsene Wenger is not going to settle down to the left and right. To achieve the ideal state, the two wings can flexibly and freely switch their own tasks, and then play tacit cooperation according to the situation on the field, so that the attack becomes undefensible and the attack is unprepared.

Qin Xiong was suspended for two Premier League games, but it did not affect his participation in the Champions League, and Wenger comforted himself: Qin Xiong can get some rest.

October 19th.

Arsenal travel to Czech champions Sparta Prague.

Sparta Prague drew one and lost one of their first two games, and qualification is in jeopardy, facing Premier League champions Arsenal at home. It was the last game they had to gamble on.

If they don't win this game, they can almost be eliminated from the competition. With Highbury in their next game and one of their last two games against Ajax, it is almost impossible to win both of those games on the road.

So Sparta Prague played very aggressively at home, which gave Arsenal more opportunities to counter-attack.

Qin Xiong seemed to have sprinkled all the resentment he had held on the Hawthorn Stadium on Sparta Prague.

In the first half, he scored a brace on the counter-attack from Thierry Henry and Hleb, and in the second half, he won a penalty after Henry was replaced by Arsene Wenger.

Sparta's fierce fight in Prague did not result in a hard-fought victory, but a terrible rout.

Qin Xiong scored a hat-trick to become the best player of the match and took away the match ball.

Robin van Persie and Thierry Henry also scored a goal each as Arsenal won 5-0 away.

Back in England, Qin Xiong trained to stay fit and watched Arsenal's Premier League game with Sylvia in the stands at home Highbury at the weekend.

In the 10th round of the Premier League, Arsenal won 1-0 against Manchester City in Highbury, this is not a game that Arsenal fans feel enjoyable, except for the result, there seems to be no satisfaction for the fans, if it were not for Silva's chaotic long-range shot from the outside of the area to send the ball into the goal through refraction, this fluke score made Arsenal take away three points, I am afraid this will be a game to drop points at home.

After the lack of Qin Xiong, Arsenal still won, but it looks by no means easy, and even Arsenal is not like Arsenal, the offensive efficiency is greatly reduced, and the offensive speed has dropped by two gears at once, when the opponent deals with Arsenal with dense defense, it is rare to see a personal breakthrough that tears the opponent's defense.

In the same round, Chelsea were held to a draw away at Everton, also ending a seven-game winning streak since a disappointing defeat to Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.

After the first ten Premier League games, Arsenal and Chelsea are tied at the top of the table.

Arsenal lead the table with 9 wins and 1 draw.

Chelsea are three points behind with eight wins, one draw and one defeat.

After the game, Fleet Street made a sharp analysis based on the situation in the Arsenal game: After the lack of Qin Xiong, Arsenal's strength was greatly reduced!

Even in terms of technical statistics, Arsenal's threat attacks have decreased by 30%, the delivery of dangerous balls has dropped by half, and individual breakthroughs have also decreased by about 40%, and it is these statistics that affect the number of shots on goal, the number of shots on goal and other key statistics.

During the training, the teammates also observed Qin Xiong intentionally or unintentionally, and there was a trace of expectation in their eyes, looking forward to Qin Xiong's return to the starting lineup as soon as possible.

Henry has seen much more of the world than Qin Xiong, he knows that he can't carry Arsenal alone, not that he can't make Arsenal maintain the status quo, but that he can't make Arsenal go to glory, he also looks forward to Qin Xiong's return as soon as possible, and in order to avoid Qin Xiong being sent off unnecessarily again, he specially talked to Qin Xiong after a day of training and taught him some of his experience.

He told Qin Xiong about the various difficulties he encountered in the game, and bluntly told Qin Xiong to adapt and get used to these, whether it was the provocation of the opponent or the humiliation of the fans, he must stay calm, and never get overly excited and behave irrationally.

Perhaps Qin Xiong had a hot clash with Keane last season, and was sent off at Hawthorn Stadium this season, which made Henry and some teammates think that Qin Xiong occasionally loses his mind.

The teammates are for Qin Xiong's good, Qin Xiong can understand that he can restrain his emotions most of the time, but sometimes after being too involved in the game, sometimes his emotions will be slightly out of control, this kind of performance is normal for football players, just like some players will make strange movements or expressions in the game, which is not deliberate.
