Chapter 118: What Will the Future Hold?
Compared with the previous game, You Mo played much more comfortably in this game. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the so-called skills of possession are all-encompassing and complex, the most basic of them is as simple as eating and dressing for every professional player, and the real difference is the ability to handle the ball in complex or difficult situations.
Whether it is simplifying, lifting weights lightly, or dialing thousands of dollars, the speed is a miracle, which is reflected in the pursuit of handling the ball. can easily solve difficulties, can turn decay into magic, walk in the clouds, and break through the sky, in order to be called a stadium artist.
Of course, for You Mo at this stage, those who are too far away to handle the ball that appears in front of him in a simple situation can be regarded as a qualified performance. The reason why this game played smoothly was nothing more than that the opponent was not pressing very tightly and his teammates were in good shape.
Aston Villa are one of the few teams in the Premier League that pay attention to ground coordination, play more gentlely, and have the most appetite for Arsenal. This time away against the defending champions, their attacking desire was not strong, and the performance of the players was tepid.
Look at their opponents.
Arsenal's performance was unanimously criticised after a hard-fought three-point hold in their last game, which was both a New Year's opener and a farewell game for their team-mates, so the whole team was in much higher spirits than in the previous game.
In fact, putting aside those factors, for a team with mature skills and tactics and a reasonable age structure, it is difficult to accept continuous poor form. As long as luck doesn't come out against you, there's no reason why you can't have an overwhelming advantage against an opponent who is not as good as you.
However, although the overall performance of the Arsenal team in this game has improved, there are still some expected problems.
Wiltord and Ljungberg, the two guys who have worked with Yumo the most, were absent at the same time, and the impact was very immediate. Without these two panaceas in the team's entire tactical system, the offensive and defensive operations still look fluid. The chances created are nearly 30% less than normal.
30 minutes into the first half, there was no change in the scoreline.
Just as it takes time for Yumo to settle into the system, it also takes time for his teammates to adapt to his new position and new style of play.
In the past, this guy never wanted the ball, but now he repeatedly appears in the receiving position, what is the situation?
The master characters can easily handle these unexpected situations, and the others will have a hard time, so Yu Mo can play well. Help to the offensive organization is still limited.
In other words, although the attack is lively, the efficiency is very low.
However, for Arsenal, there is still a good way to score in this situation.
Set-pieces!
As long as the top team plays normally in a game, the number of corners and free kicks combined can generally get a double-double. If you have both set-piece masters and high-altitude dominance in the team, then using set-pieces to make a fuss is a matter of course.
Compared to the dynamic attacking mode of ground flow, set-pieces are closer to a static attack with a dead position. If it were Anelka or Wiltord, it would be difficult to take advantage of the hard bridge and hard horse confrontation. For Youmo, this kind of thing is far easier than getting rid of the extraordinary.
Although it sounds simple, the professional game is not child's play, and if you want to make a fuss about set-pieces, the opponent's numerical advantage is always the biggest difficulty to overcome.
It's just a matter of full defense, and the goalkeeper is really the first half of the team at this time!
Only when every aspect of the set-piece is done to the extreme can it become a regular means of scoring goals. Arsenal have not been good at this before, and the arrival of Youmo has made up for this shortcoming to some extent. This has been recognized by the coaching staff. There are many targeted exercises in the usual training.
Set-piece tactics may seem simple, but in fact they are very knowledgeable.
The first point that determines the quality of a set-piece. is the purpose of the punisher.
Skilled teams often lack aerial superiority in the penalty area, and if the team's two centre-backs are unable to play the role of a knife-carrying defender, then the frequent high balls from set-pieces can help the opposition clear. You Mo's existence has changed this situation, but it's a pity that his point is too prominent, and if he looks for it directly, it is easy to be killed by the opponent's targeted arrangement.
The second point that determines the quality of a set-piece is the footwork of the penalty taker.
Needless to say. Masters have made a lot of achievements in this area.
The third point is equally crucial.
The tacit understanding between the guy who grabbed the point and the main penalizer!
In those eyes floating around on the field, there is actually a lot of information in it that cannot be captured by the camera, and if you can't fully interpret it, you can't appreciate the mystery.
No one dares to guarantee that the ball they kick will land exactly the same point, but once there is a tacit understanding. Small errors can be fully prepared to make up for in the electric light, and the advantages of each other will be further amplified until the result is a wonderful work of art.
The fourth point is decisive.
How did the guy who grabbed the point finish the final blow?
After two years of experience in the German league, Jumo is an expert in this area, even against the taller and stronger traditional English defenders, his aerial superiority is still obvious.
Being tall means having an innate advantage, but when the height exceeds a certain limit, the higher the ability to move, the slower, and it is difficult to make achievements once the landing point is slightly out of control. Jumena's height of 184 is not an advantage for any team's central defender and goalkeeper, but his super-fast nervous reactions, extremely flexible body, strong explosiveness, and imaginative creative ability are enough to make him a powerful B2 bomber on the pitch.
One, two, three, four finished speaking, and the fifth point was handed over to the unexpected factor.
Luck is everywhere, and the form of the opposing goalkeeper. These are uncontrollable factors, and if prayer is useless, try your best to do the above four points well.
In this game, Bergkamp first tried to fire directly from a distance, and then turned to seek cooperation, but the first few times failed because the purpose was too direct, until this time period, someone finally couldn't help but make a sound.
"Come on, Dennis."
Another set-piece opportunity in front, Tony Adams came to this seemingly random sentence as he ran towards the opposition penalty area.
The former iron-blooded captain has been in underwhelming form this season and, like David Seaman, has seen a noticeable increase in the difficulty of his game, which has already been rapidly declining. As a centre-back. Set-pieces should have been in the most dangerous positions, but his aged legs made it difficult for him to put out tricky shots even when he was in a good position.
You must know that his height is only 185, and he can use accurate judgment and card position to seize the opportunity when squatting and defending, and it is difficult for a strong man to do this when moving at high speed.
The judgment was fine, the body couldn't keep up, and this depressing situation didn't shake his will. After a few failed attempts, he found the crux of the problem.
The positioning of set-piece tactics is too simple and straightforward, and as long as the opponent is focused enough, the threat can easily be nipped in the bud!
Matches are not the same as training, opponents are completely different from teammates, if they still follow the conventions in training, then he and Keown's running choices will not play a feint role at all, and the opponent only needs to surround Yumo to solve the problem.
Only by letting the two of them appear in the danger zone will Yu Mo be taken care of at the expense of the other. In a chaotic situation, opportunistic killers can get a good chance to see blood and seal their throats!
"Don't you have to talk to him?" Bergkamp replied with a blank face, his eyes only confirming the source of the sound and continuing to stare at the opposing goalkeeper.
"He should have seen us talking." Adams slowed down and shook his head, then spun up and ran forward.
"Your confidence in him is a bit beyond my expectations." Bergkamp took a few steps back, a smile rising from the corner of his mouth.
Twenty meters away, You Mo's thumbs up at him were a little blurry.
What happens next is simpler.
Bergkamp made a run with a surprisingly fast low curling ball that Adams nodded straight into the net.
In the 39th minute of the game, Overmars's corner kick on the left side was rubbed by Adams again, and this time the ball did not fly directly into the goal.
Set pieces. The ball that spins inward requires a relatively large contact area to form a shot, rubbing. Shake, these two ways are used more for transition.
In fact, this time the Englishman still planned to come on his own, but the ball landed a little hard for him, and in the end, with the advantage of experience, he temporarily changed his mind and turned his header into a header ferry.
Back point. In the corner of the small penalty area, a figure jumping high perfectly solved the problem.
Yumo realized what the problem was before Adams and Bergkamp had their first conversation.
But it's one thing to be aware, it's another thing to change.
He won't take the initiative to command these bigwigs around him, and he won't even take the initiative to remind him.
The Englishman's penchant for order and seniority is in his bones, and it's good that these ministers who won the championship last season were not pampered. No matter how dazzling his aura was, he couldn't impress them in the slightest.
Unable to give enough help to the team, unable to bring positive energy to the dressing room, such a guy has become the object of their ostracism, and if they are not ashamed to tell them what to do, it will be strange that someone will pay attention!
On the contrary, if he does it, and the final result is so impressive, everyone will quickly remember his performance against bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur and old rivals Manchester United, and the impression in their minds will suddenly change dramatically.
It's not easy!
The 1-0 score was maintained until the half-time whistle blew, and the team's performance still did not look at its best, but the Highbury fans were in a good mood.
The league title race is a 38-round contest, and although competitive sports strength is respected, luck doesn't care if you miss a long time. Once bad luck strikes and the situation of the last game is repeated, the team's championship prospects will undoubtedly have to carry a heavy burden.
Against a weak opponent, an affordable victory is the best outcome, no matter which way you score a goal, three points in hand + no injury is perfect.
Everyone can see Youmo's changes, whether they are cynical, silently supportive, or shouting, they can't ignore the real data.
Ran 4,800 metres in the half, touched the ball 25 times, had an 80% success rate, had 4 shots on goal, had two on target, and scored one goal. Such statistics and solid on-field performances, even if they do not reflect dominance, are enough to support the team's frontcourt fulcrum, and it is a bit ambitious to criticize it.
"It's been a long time since Mo started and it was a good half."
At half-time, many fans looked at Anelka as he warmed up on the pitch with complicated eyes, but the conversation did not revolve around the Frenchman.
"yes, but to be honest, his goals were a bit sudden, as if he hadn't figured out what was going on, and the ball was in the goal!"
"Haha, according to you, he used magic to control the ball? In fact, in slow motion, you will clearly see that his running position when grabbing points is very purposeful, and once the ball flies to his position, it is rare to see him hesitate or move in the mud. ”
"Well, I agree. In addition to those unbelievable goals, his other ways of scoring goals are very simple, that is, the simplest and most direct way to score in football, and it never feels like he is powerless. ”
"What a guy with incredible self-confidence."
"Hey, I said, the guy who can break someone's arm in the blink of an eye, does the ball style still need to be discussed carefully?"
"Anelka looks like he's going to be sold, and I don't know if it's a joy or a bad thing."
"No way, the rumor has been passed on for so long, how can it be groundless, it is said that his brother is his agent and has been encouraging him to leave the team for a high salary."
"Not necessarily, wait and see, maybe there will be a turnaround in a few days."
"Don't dream, if Wenger hadn't made up his mind, how could MO have been changing his style of play lately?"
These words can be regarded as a word to wake up the dreamer.
You Mo suddenly changed his style, and his position on the field was no longer erratic, and at first many people thought that he was doing crisis public relations in order to change his mind. As a result, a certain football emperor compared the previously rumored transfer possibility of Anelka, and the situation suddenly became clear.
Wiltord's small size can't support the fulcrum up front, and Wenger doesn't like to pile up a lot of manpower in midfield, and when Anelka is gone, the only one in the team who can step up is Jumo.
In such a situation, it is obvious that the team will not be able to tailor their own tactics to the team's individual performance. If it was just when the brawl incident was first exposed, this kind of malicious speculation could still prevail for a while, and at this stage it has long been shattered by reality.
"If Anelka goes to La Liga, will he become a superstar like Ronaldo?"
"It sounds good, Ronaldo has indeed established himself as an international superstar in La Liga, but I heard that Anelka started smoking, drinking, and playing clubs at a young age, and this is leaving Arsene Wenger, can he control his behavior and his mouth?"
"It is said that MO has also been photographed haunting nightclubs, and I think they are all the way!"
"Professional footballers, all of them have a lot of money."
"It's really hard to resist temptation at such a young stage."
"yes, I don't know what will happen to these two guys in the future." (To be continued.) )
