vs 229 Lure the enemy deeper
Playing against Arsenal at Arsenal's home stadium, how can you win? This question was asked many times by himself before the start of the game. When he used to be a fan, because Arsenal played well, he watched a lot of Arsenal football, which also made him know all about some of Arsenal's problems.
Arsenal finished runners-up in the Champions League last season, which was the best result in the history of their club, and now Arsenal have not realised that they have gone downhill, and many of their problems have not yet been summed up - and in Li Bin's memory, they have summed it up later, and the improvement work has not been very good. In my memory, since reaching the Champions League final, Arsenal has not played particularly well in the league or the Champions League. They used to sell the captain in June, then they played well in the first half of the season, improved a lot compared to last season, and it seemed like a good thing to sell the captain, and then after the Christmas game, it started to collapse, and in February, several cup competitions were eliminated, the league started to slide out of the championship zone, and the season lost hope. But in April, they were rejuvenated, fighting for the top four in a demonic form, qualifying for the Champions League, selling the captain in June, and returning to play lightly next season.
Speaking of which, this game is also in February, and it is very unkind to say that it is the day of Arsenal's collapse again......
Not to mention Arsenal's strange development path in the future, but when it comes to the way Arsenal's team plays, there are many problems that can be summed up. For example, Li Bin has always believed that although Arsenal's tactics are very good, because their team players are too young and lack physical confrontation when playing, they will always suffer a big loss when facing powerful players - for example, Drogba treats the Arsenal backline as a delicious snack, and every time they meet, they have to taste what it tastes like. For example, their header defense has always had a lot of problems, especially the defensive position of set-pieces, the problem is amazing, Wenger in this regard, the problem is particularly serious, until the defense of the five old Steve Bold as Arsenal's assistant coach, these problems can be regarded as completely changed, and now, their defense, there are still many problems.
And now, these problems are clear in Li Bin's eyes. People say that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles, but speaking of which, who can know oneself and the other better than Li Bin? He is aware of every flaw in these teams, and he is naturally able to take advantage of them.
And if Arsenal has any particularly huge problems, it can easily be used if Parma does not need to practice much, and it can be used, which is naturally their biggest problem, the defensive leakage of the full-backs. Although Klich is a strong contender for the best left-back in the Premier League, his strength is much worse than his predecessor Ashley Cole, and it can be said that he is the biggest shortcoming in Arsenal's backline, while Eboue on the other side has strong attacking ability, but his defensive ability is relatively average.
If Arsenal hadn't sold Cole and Lauren last season, Li Bin would have had a lot of trouble when facing them, but the current Arsenal backline has begun to go to the road of death, and it will be easy to beat them again.
"Parma and Arsenal have shown a high level of technical and tactical ability from the beginning, Parma's two wings are very tight, they did not let the full-backs go forward, but let the midfielders forward to suppress the opponent's midfielders, their defense is quite forward, this style of play, for Arsenal's attacking system has played a very good role in containing."
Arsenal's attack is beautiful, but one of the biggest threats in their attack is the midfielder's direct long pass up front, and then the front court relies on small combinations to open up the situation. Cesc Fabregas's long balls and forward insertion are excellent, and he can now be considered the tactical heart of Arsenal, relying on his long over-the-top balls and forward playmaking, Arsenal played beautifully. Arsenal's attack, after all, is still a variant of the Premier League's 442, and their counterattack can be extremely sharp and beautiful, but on the whole, it still does not change the essence of the internal style of play. Cesc Fabregas's skills are much more delicate than those of Premier League players, and he can do some small cooperation in the midfield to make smooth and fast passes, but the essence of Arsenal's tactics has not changed, and the London newspaper said that Arsenal's over-the-top long pass is one of the three beauties of London - it is an over-the-top long pass, not a subtle combination.
Cesc Fabregas is now famous, and no one dares to underestimate him under the name of the future No. 1 midfielder. But Li Bin has long known that after he left Arsenal and returned to Barcelona, his ability to protect the ball has been criticized, saying that he is the world's No. 1 midfielder, and he has been raised too much. Li Bin also didn't care about suppressing Fabregas in this game, which made him play poorly.
In Parma's midfield, Yaya Toure never let go of Fabregas's guard almost at any moment, pressing him every time he got the ball. And as soon as he got rid of it a little, Motta behind him immediately came over to entangle him, constantly pressuring him, so that Fabregas could not organize the attack well, and after getting the ball, it was difficult to play.
Arsenal's attacking system has often been very fond of attacking in the middle, but now, they are being stopped by Parma's attack, where Parma has hoarded heavy troops to make their attack impossible.
Of course, that's not all Li Bin wants.
After Cesc Fabregas was targeted, their two flanks became the focus of Arsenal's attack. Eboue and Klich's assist ability is not weak, Li Bin suppressed Fabregas forward and passed, but did not prevent him from passing back to the side, which gave Eboue and Klich a lot of opportunities to get the ball, and Parma's two fullbacks did not have the intention of stepping forward, which also made Arsenal's wide players start to move.
This is Li Bin's original intention. The strength of the team at this level of Arsenal is very strong, and their attacking power is already very strong, and there are many attack points that can be relied on, and it is difficult to block on all sides, and if you really want to do it, you have to retreat to the backfield, shrink the lineup, and defend intensively in a small area. If you do that, it's commonly known as a bus.
However, this is Li Bin's first time playing in the Champions League, and playing with the bus is too unproductive, which is not good for his own reputation, and Parma has not done much practice in this regard, and the turf setting of the Emirates Stadium is in accordance with Arsenal's habits, and Parma may not be able to complete the bus if he wants to, so Li Bin still wants to attack. It is impossible to block on all sides, but if the front court only defends the middle, suppresses the midfield with superior forces, and then empties the two wings, then it will be much easier.
Arsene Wenger watched the ball from the sidelines but didn't make much of a difference. He has never been a coach who is known for his excellent sideline coaching, which is the biggest foundation for Li Bin's idea to be implemented. If it weren't Wenger but Mourinho, maybe he would be able to see Li Bin's thoughts, but if it was Wenger, his reaction would not be too sharp.
Eboue watched the movements of the Parma players, and silently calculated the direction in which he was heading. He ran a few steps forward, got the ball, and gave it to Hleb in front of him, but the defense of De Jong and Barzaretti on the opposite side was very tight, making it difficult for Hleb to break through, Eboue looked at the situation in front of him, and suddenly took a step forward and beckoned Hleb to pass the ball to him.
Hleb passed the ball with one kick, Eboue received it, ran a few steps forward, and with a long pass, passed the ball towards the front. Bam Adebayo rushed to the first point, he grabbed a header, a header swung sideways, and the ball was put at the feet of Henry, who was next to him, and Henry shot at the goal, and kicked it towards the goal!
Frey fell to the ground in a hurry. Henry's shot was from a tricky angle, but he managed to save the ball into his arms, which also made him break out in a cold sweat.
Although Parma deliberately gave Arsenal such a flaw, Arsenal could take advantage of it so well that they almost scored a goal, which still shocked the players.
"It's a shame to have a good chance. Thankfully, though, it also proves that Arsenal seem to have found Parma's defensive weaknesses......"
The weaknesses that Arsenal found were just what we deliberately sold to them and let them fight, but the problems that Arsenal exposed, I had already found them. Your two side lanes can be inserted at will, so that your side lanes will be exposed to our eyes.
As they watched as both of the opposing wide players stepped in, Parma's players were ready to attack.
Parma passed the ball a few times at the back, and when it reached Motta's feet again, Motta played a long ball and kicked the ball to Arshavin in front, who deliberately slowed down and lured Gilberto up in midfield, and when he came over, he kicked the ball to the left wing.
That's what Parma want: through Arshavin or Motta, let the players on the flanks get the ball and attack. The opposing full-backs pressed more forward, and at this time, Rossi's advantage of being able to pull the side can be brought into play.
Rossi had already run to the left side, and by the time the ball reached his feet, Eboue had lost his position and could no longer stand in a good position, intercepting his cross, he shoveled out and tried to grab Rossi's ball, but Rossi made a light turn, knocked the ball at the same time, and a beautiful man split the ball, and dodged Eboue's top tackle.
Then he kicked the ball down the middle.
Although Arsenal's two wings can be regarded as holes, Li Bin chose to let Rossi go to the left wing. Galla and Datu are both extremely agile and fast defenders, and if Rossi is allowed to break through the middle, the success rate is difficult to say, but if it is a cross from the wing, these two defenders who are fast but not good in headers, the quality of the defense is difficult to say.
In the middle position, Milito had already run into position, and he jumped up with Gala, but Milito was well in the ascendant position. When the ball came, he jumped almost a head higher than Galla, the ball flew over, he pressed Galla under him, and a fierce header threw the ball towards the goal.
“gooooal!! Milito's header scores! Parma's attacks are faster and more powerful than we thought, and their strength is definitely not to be underestimated! ”
