vs 231 Paranoia of the coaches

By the time the 2-0 scoreline came up, many Arsenal fans had already begun to despair - being kicked 2-0 at their home stadium in the knockout round of the Champions League was basically equivalent to saying goodbye to the next leg of the Champions League. Yes, there are all kinds of reversals and turnovers in football games, but what can you expect to turn the tables when you play like this at your home stadium?

On the pitch, Yaya Toure didn't celebrate too much, he just high-fived his teammates and picked up the ball from the goal. As he walked past his brother, he gave him an apologetic smile, but the apology was only what he thought he was, and in Big Toure's view, the smile was somewhat mocking - Kolo Toure didn't think Yaya would have a good impression of Arsenal.

Li Bin, who was standing on the sidelines, saw the goal, but just lightly clapped his hands twice, signaling the players to play well and not say much.

Arsenal have more than one weakness, and after taking advantage of the first one, they will defend, then use the second weakness against them, and if they change again, then go to the third...... Although Wenger has all kinds of problems, he is still a famous coach in the world, not to mention anything else, Arsenal's fluency in counterattacking and advancing claims to be the second in the world, and absolutely no one dares to say that it is the first in the world. Li Bin didn't dare to be careless when facing him, and he was also prepared with a variety of methods, wanting to deal with Arsenal's backline in a variety of ways.

Arsenal's first problem is air defence, and the second problem is their midfield. Arsenal, with Gilberto, is not too weak in the midfield position, but there are times when a central midfielder is not enough. Especially when the opponent is pressing with all his might, according to the normal defensive strategy, it is natural for the midfielder to stand in front of the penalty area to prevent the opponent's long-range shot, and the players in the penalty area are to defend the opponent's forward. In modern football, because the midfielders have a lot of back insertions, and there are a lot of side players cutting inside, therefore, it is very difficult for a back to ensure the defense of the front of the penalty area, and the double back has also become the trend of tactical development, and Arsenal has to go against the trend, then it will naturally be unlucky.

A single midfielder is not suitable for football in this era, and unless you have a technical advantage that is more than one level ahead of your opponent, you should not consider a single midfielder in modern football. Arsenal's one-back tactics are okay to play with the Premier League and the Premier League's rough brothers, but it's not easy to win the Champions League. Parma is an Italian team, and the technical ability of the Serie A team is not inferior to Arsenal, and they have to suffer if they want to use a single back against Parma. Arsenal haven't had a good run in the Champions League over the years, and it's not just bad luck.

When playing against Milan, Parma scored three goals, and none of them even came from the middle, because of the three midfielders of Gattuso, Ambrosini and Pirlo. Gattuso's function is to strangle, Ambrosini is sweeping, Pirlo is organizing, but when the opponent presses, the three of them spread out at the edge of the penalty area, which can reduce Parma's long-range shooting opportunities to a minimum.

However, in the face of Arsenal, as long as Gilberto is removed, there is no one to play in the opponent's backline. Although Cesc Fabregas can also play some role as a midfielder, firstly, his body is too weak, and secondly, when the situation is unfavorable, he always thinks about attacking, and he has to relax a little bit for defense.

The most rare thing about players is not only ability, but also mentality. It is not difficult to have a good technique, but it is difficult to have a good technique and a good mentality.

It was because of the lack of a good enough mentality that Arsenal's vacuum in the midfield position allowed Parma to score and after half-time, they were already 2-0 up.

When he entered the dressing room, Yaya Toure still had a smile on his face, and when he walked into the dressing room, he laughed directly, "It's really strange, we beat Arsenal like this, I used to think that I would play at Arsenal after playing football, but now it looks like I feel really stupid." Why should I go to Arsenal, they don't play much better than us! ”

"That's right, Arsenal is very famous, how can they really fight, so vulnerable."

Li Bin heard it, and he also knew the answer to this question, but he didn't speak.

Arsenal's football has always been a football of technical flow. In the land of the Premier League, their skills are naturally superb, and the first-class skills and others play football, so they naturally take advantage of it, and some problems will not be highlighted, and it is impossible for the weak team to have too many counterattacks against them. However, when it comes to the Champions League, when facing strong teams, the skill is not enough to control the whole field, and there will be problems. This kind of problem, not to mention Arsenal, even Barcelona, which will be the world's No. 1 in the world in the future, is the same when they encounter a particularly strong team, their performance can hardly be said to be overwhelming - the single midfielder style of play is indeed not suitable for modern football.

It's just that these words are not necessary to say them. It's not a good thing to speak ill of other coaches in front of the players. And, in his heart, he also understands what Wenger means by doing this: as a person who has an extreme preference for offensive football in his bones, Wenger naturally wants to build a team according to his own ideas. What he wants is attacking football with a single midfielder, and he may not be unaware of the problem with the road, but he is still willing to believe that his team is strong enough to have the technical advantage to suppress the opponent - this is the coach's paranoia.

Isn't Li Bin himself paranoid himself? Otherwise, why would he insist on pressing the football instead of playing the control football early? Isn't it because deep down in his heart, he still thinks that pressing football is the stronger way to play, and refuses to compromise with another tactic that has achieved excellent results in his memory?

"In the second half, take it a little more seriously and trust me, guys, if I say it, we're going to win this game."

Li Bin was sure of victory, but when it came to the second half, he was still taken aback.

Arsenal replaced Hleb and replaced Van Persie, who was suspected of having a serious injury, and actually played a front three.

It's such a change of formation...... This also surprised Li Bin. He thought that Arsenal would have to do something to the back line after falling behind, but he didn't expect that Arsenal's choice was to fight against him.

This is your home stadium, even if you win the attack, you can get more goals, but if you lose the number of home goals, you will lose.

But soon, Li Bin understood their thoughts.

Perhaps, they want more than just attack.

They replaced the three forwards, obviously to play behind, which also gave Li Bin a problem, if he wants to defend the current situation, he has to retreat the back line, and the back line retreats, the midfielder has to withdraw, so that it can not maintain the pressure on the opponent's midfield, Parma's offensive and defensive tactics have collapsed, then, 2-0 is Parma's best situation, and it may even be because of bad luck, the second half was scored again, that is, there is not even a 2-0 situation. And if it is said that it is to continue to fight against the midfielder like this, it is very likely to be counterattacked, the 2-0 situation is already very good, if it is really unlucky, then it is possible to lose a good game, then it is a little more than worth the loss.

Li Bin suddenly discovered that Wenger is indeed a top coach, and it was such a simple change of trick that made Li Bin start to be a little timid, and he didn't know what to do.

And while he was still hesitating, an attack from Arsenal also unfolded, Fabregas took the ball again, he did not step forward, but ran a few steps sideways in the backfield, Gilberto met him, Fabregas gave him the ball with one kick, the two men ran almost close to each other, Gilberto received the ball, took a step forward, let go of Yaya Toure's press, and then returned the ball to Fabregas.

The two men worked together beautifully, and it was clear that Arsene Wenger must have made adjustments to their midfield as well. Just now, Cesc Fabregas was almost stared to death, but now, the small cooperation with his teammates has allowed him to gain space very well, Yaya Toure's oppression is no longer very effective, Fabregas has gained space, he has been liberated, and he can organize.

With Gilberto's help, Cesc Fabregas finally found a suitable opportunity for himself to attack. This time, he has room to play, and naturally he will be able to pass the ball to the satisfaction of the people.

He kicked the ball forward, across the entire half, towards Parma's backline. His pass was indeed extremely ingenious, and the landing point of this ball was almost a meter behind Ag, and Henry also ran over at the same time, at this time, the competition between the two was quite fierce.

Henry still got the ball first, he received the ball sideways, and Agger immediately tackled it, but Henry picked the ball up with his left foot, and then jumped, took the ball with his right foot, and after adjusting a step, he had already dodged his steal.

Then, Henry fired a shot straight into the far corner against the back of the net, and this time, he didn't make any more mistakes.

'Arsenal finally scored a goal on the counter-attack, and now they are on the counter-attack, which makes the game start to play in a more interesting direction.'

At 2-1, Parma were still ahead, but Arsenal had already regained some advantage. Their midfield has restarted to organize, with Gilberto's help, Cesc Fabregas's attacking power has been unleashed, and the tearing of the three forwards up front has put Parma's defensive pressure on a lot, making it difficult for Parma's attack to unfold smoothly.

But what really makes Li Bin feel the most pressure is that the opponent did not take a defensive position in such a game, but took an offensive What to do after falling behind 0-2, this is a major problem faced by Arsenal, but Wenger through his command, successfully threw the problem back to Li Bin, which became Li Bin's problem.

However, seeing that the opponent's attack worked so quickly, Li Bin also admired it from the bottom of his heart: Wenger is good at attacking, but he is unparalleled in this regard.

However, compared to the attack, how can I be afraid of you? Even if it's a good match, let's see how much better we are!
