Chapter 63: Long time no see

A supporting role that is firmly remembered?

Someone may be dismissive, but Sylvain Wiltord is thrilled. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He knows his own family, he understands his own characteristics, he knows his weaknesses, and he knows that the manager is not biased. Thierry Henry has more potential than he does, and his tactical role is greater, and the power of a strong conversation is enough to change the course of the game. In this case, he can actually accept the identity of a supporting role, and he will not be resentful because of this, and even have the idea of leaving.

However, people will have times when their emotions are out of control, especially when their identities suddenly change, and it is inevitable that selfish distractions will run out to cause trouble, destroy the mood and affect the atmosphere. And as Wenger said, an actor who doesn't want to be the protagonist is not a good actor, so should the guy who is forced to change from the protagonist to a supporting role also show it with actions?

So he made up his mind to challenge as a supporting role, and in a more reasonable way, he became an existence that threatened the protagonist's status!

So the question arises.

As a supporting role, the possession and firing power are inherently insufficient, and the position is far away from the penalty area, how can you continue to maintain the previous performance in the few opportunities?

Without a consistent and stable performance, how can you win in the comparison, until you make up for the innate gap between the two and regain your own leading role?

Or, just by becoming the protagonist in one or two games, can you really claim the identity of the protagonist as already there?

The situation is not rosy.

Fortunately, it's still early, and there are still plenty of opportunities waiting ahead. So he collected his mood and secretly resolved to impress all the people who looked down on him with more adequate preparation and higher efficiency.

It turned out that it was at this point that he got a tantalizing answer.

A supporting role that is firmly remembered?

Wouldn't it be cool?

Like Dennis Bergkamp, don't smile. Elegant enough to be unforgettable?

Like mo, relaxed and freehand, cold enough to make opponents chill?

Wait, are they the protagonist or the supporting role?

Is the protagonist of a team determined by the position on the field?

Is the protagonist of each game determined by luck?

This is the end of my mind. Wiltord finally understood.

The location is different, the difficulty of being the protagonist is different, that's all.

......

Straightening out their mentality, Arsenal's attack gradually sharpened. In the 53rd minute of the second half, the opportunity came.

Ljungberg won the ball on the right and completed two small transitions in quick succession with Wiltord, who had come to pick up, and the ball began to move forward along the right touchline. Both of them took the small and fast route, and when they were together, the ball moved very fast, and the Ajax defenders didn't even see the ball clearly. I saw a person kill out of the pile, and the title rushed forward!

This local advantage is sometimes insignificant, sometimes fatal, and the Swede know this, so they were unfazed by the comfortable crosses and continued to dribble forward. Until he crossed the big penalty area line, and after the road was heavily blocked, he gave a nudge with his right foot. Hand over the ball.

Cross-switched Bergkamp replaced Wiltord and emerged from outside the box. ribs.

A team is like this, everyone's characteristics need to be kept in mind by teammates, and a subconscious mind can be formed in order to give full play to the power of tacit understanding. The Dutchman's breakthrough ability was nowhere near as good as his passing skills, so the densely populated area was not suitable for handing the ball to him. Now, through the partial cooperation of two small players, the opponent's defense has been disrupted. Then the next opportunity creation and grasp will naturally be handed over to more suitable candidates.

Bergkamp's ability lies in simplicity and creativity. As if he had a tacit understanding, Henry's exaggerated starting speed and good sense of movement were the perfect use of the Dutchman's creativity to be in the right place at the right time.

Yumo was no worse than Henry in these two points. However, in the densely populated penalty area, the technical shortcomings will be infinitely magnified, which eventually leads to this most common stopping of the ball, getting rid of, and the proportion of shots on goal is very small, almost like a lag.

To put it simply, the same kind repels each other, and the different attracts each other.

Bergkamp's creativity needs a textbook among top strikers like Thierry Henry to translate into goals, while Jumo's creativity needs to kill people in a chaotic environment.

But this time it's not a simple pass.

Thierry Henry won the ball on the left side of the penalty area and prepared for the shot in the most comfortable way, only to be distracted by a well-prepared opponent who shot a little less powerful.

This situation also happened in the first half, but because of the extreme coordination of this passing, Henry forced himself to complete a tricky shot that went straight to the dead corner!

The Ajax goalkeeper was equally prepared, with a beautiful lateral save and the ball was denied!

As if expected, Wiltord appeared in front of the black and white elf jumping on the right side of the small penalty area.

How can we grasp the small space and the fleeting opportunity?

The guy who is willing to play a supporting role has given the answer!

Step out with your left foot, lean back, swing your right leg quickly, and rotate your knee to drive the sharp instep and hit the ball 1/3 of the way up!

Volley!

The ball felt the fierce murderous aura given by the owner, and roared to hit the far post and bounced into the net!

There was no hesitation, no deliberateness, everything seemed so natural, as if everything before was prepared for him, just waiting for this moment, the protagonist made his debut!

“...... Wow, dazzling cooperation! Sylvain Wiltord, Frederick Ljungberg, two small players with very fast foot frequency! ”

"A breakthrough on the side! Dribble forward at high speed and open up space! ”

"Dennis, great Dennis, took a step laterally, a diagonal pass to the centimeter, to Henry!"

"Good at tricks to eat opponents! Shot! ”

"Go straight to the corner! A beautiful side save from the goalkeeper! ”

"Who's that? Wiltord? Oh my God, volley! ”

“goooooooooooo....... al”

"It's incredible, in such a small space, you can actually use a volley!"

"It should have been prepared for a long time to achieve this effect! Terrible sense of smell! ”

"Maybe his team-mates have overshadowed him a little bit, but at this moment, his performance is decisive!"

"Sylvain Wiltord, scored seven goals in eight Premier League games. Scored 2 goals in 3 cup games, terrifying efficiency! ”

"He came to Arsenal in the same year as Nicola Anelka, and he finally broke out this season!"

"Yes, an average of one goal in 72 minutes, which is unsurpassed by no one in the entire top five European leagues!"

"Actually, he didn't play well in this game, but this goal was so crucial! Let's take a look at slow motion again...... The small cooperation with Ljungberg is very tacit. After completing it, he crossed with Bergkamp to open up space, and then went straight to the penalty area to grab the spot...... Every link is impeccable, as if he has suddenly found inspiration, every step is carried out in rhythm! ”

"An underrated player, Sylvain Wiltord."

......

Scoring goals is really crucial.

A team like Arsenal that is strong in attack and weak in defense is the most unfavorable situation for a long time is that it cannot attack for a long time. Even strictly speaking, it is more refreshing to catch up if you are behind than 0:0.

Especially when there is not much time in the game and the opponent can't get out of the hole. It is easy to be constrained by the balance of offense and defense, and the combat effectiveness is sharply reduced.

Once the deadlock is broken, the opponent can only press out and attack. At that point, Bergkamp's straight plug and Henry's speed will be lethal weapons!

Even if they are unlucky enough to score, they still have the ability to attack the top position, but they also have set-piece killers!

Of course, it was the guy who scored the goal that really relieved the Arsenal players.

Wiltord is a jack-of-all-trades on the pitch. Off the pitch still plays the role of lubricant. After coming out of the shadow of infidelity that led to the breakdown of the family, the French saw the pitch as their life. Treat your teammates as family, show kindness to everyone, and would rather suffer yourself than spoil the atmosphere in the locker room.

It's true that such guys can't be leaders, and it's hard for the core to be in the team, but every team lacks them. There's always a lot of fun to lose, a lot of memories to lose.

Just like the relaxed atmosphere that You Mo loves, there are no pistachios like Yao Xia, Da Yu, and Kuka to mess around in it. It is inevitable that there will be a big discount.

If you switch to a team that lacks cohesion and needs to be guarded against at every turn, a guy like Wiltord will undoubtedly become a tool for some people to use as a back-up or gunman if necessary.

Just like what Anelka did.

Now that the Arsenal team has become the public enemy of the Premier League and needs to face the challenge of public opinion throughout the country, their cohesion has reached an all-time high, completely surpassing the double season. In this case, every guy who fights alongside them is a fearless warrior worthy of trust!

In fact, Arsene Wenger's transformation this season seems to be incomprehensible to many players, and the preference for Henry and the neglect of Wiltord are not new topics. If it weren't for the player tunnel before, without this crucial goal in front of them, they would inevitably be worried and regretful.

It's okay, it's okay!

After taking a 1-0 lead, Arsenal took the initiative to slow down the tempo, retracted the formation slightly, and cooperated to release the opponent.

Ajax had to send a shot, but fortunately, the atmosphere at home was not bad, and after conceding the goal, it was more lively than before. So after a quick substitution, the Dutch powerhouse launched a fierce attack, and the tide poured into the Arsenal penalty area.

It was not Zhang Xiaorui who was substituted, You Mo glanced at the opponent's bench with some regret, smiled after finding that the person was not there, and did not continue to look for it.

After a few games in a row, he and Kolo Toure have been able to form a good sense of complementarity. Especially after experiencing the targeted offensive strategy against Newcastle, the position of the two is no longer inconvenient.

The so-called three-dimensional sense is based on judging the intention of the attacking players, and it is not as simple as evenly spreading ten people evenly on half of the field. The two learned a lot through that match, and at this time, they faced the opponent's free hand, and they just used it to put it to the test.

In the end, the effect was not bad, Ajax heavy on the wing, hoping to use the sense of position of the two to make a fuss after the gap was opened on the wing. As a result, the wing attack was well organized, but when it developed to the middle, it repeatedly hit the iron plate.

In the 76th minute of the game, Ajax broke through on the right side and began to go down the side. Pire, who retreated deeply, followed all the way to the bottom line, but the opponent used an imaginative crotch ball to complete the penetration, and the battle burned to the penalty area!

After a quick pass with two feet, Ajax finally found a scoring opportunity with the advantage they had previously established!

In the middle, on the line of the big penalty area, a cold shot!

Lyman reacted quickly, moved sideways one step, and blocked it with one hand!

The déjà vu situation made Armstrong Stadium boil over and all the fans stood up, expecting their hero to be like their opponents and appear in key positions at key moments.

As a result they saw hope, and as a result they saw disappointment......

The reaction of the Ajax players is not unpleasant, but the sense of smell is reflected in the killer, which is a kind of desperate "fast"!

This is often the case in games, especially when the opposition is excellent and the defence has been breached, and the first reaction of most people is to turn their heads and pin their hopes on the goalkeeper.

This seemingly inaction stems from a knee-jerk reaction, a form of self-protection to calm the panicked state, which is considered human nature.

And those cold-blooded killers caught the time of the gods in less than 0.5 seconds!

Youmo didn't expect Lehmann's performance at all when his opponent's pull-up shot was blown, and with a strong intuition, he sprinted at the same time as the ball, with only one goal!

Goal!

In the end he didn't outrun the ball, and in the end he outperformed his opponent.

Sprint, stop, small penalty line, half turn, left leg slam!

After a muffled sound of "bang", the Ajax players who rushed over to make up for the shot could only forget the ball and sigh.

The Amsterdam Stadium was enveloped in a huge sigh, and the fans full of expectations shook their heads and sat down helplessly. But most people's butts are not next to the bench, as if they have eyes, and they can't sit still!

Left side of the field, Thierry Henry!

No one knew if Yu Mo had observed when he cleared the siege, and there was no time to pay attention to the fact that it could not be changed now, and everyone's eyes widened as they watched this attack with only one pass.

Henry cleverly chose to overtake in the corner, using his amazing speed and explosiveness to fight his way to life!

Due to the lack of assistance behind him, the French did not rush to the crowded place in the middle, and sprinted straight at high speed to the small penalty area. The Ajax player, who had already guessed what he was going to do, did not panic, did not blink his eyes, and firmly guarded the inside line.

Seeing that the killer could not be used and the opportunity was about to slip away, Henry did not have the slightest anxiety, turned around, protected the ball, poked out with his right foot, provoked, and crossed a wonderful arc with his long legs and body!

Barb!

In front of the breathtakingly smooth movements, the defenders were immobilized along with 60,000 spectators, freezing the entire frame.

A long whistle broke the silence, and as the assister, Yumo didn't go to the front court to accept a hug from his teammates. Turning his head, a familiar figure appeared in view.

Long time no see. (To be continued.) )
