Wenger had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and his thoughts had long since drifted to which corner.

So, in the eyes of outsiders, Wenger, who sat in the coach's seat without saying a word, and his eyes were a little dull, was obviously shocked by Fiorentina's overwhelming advantage in the midfield, and did not play the role that a manager should have at all.

At this time, Wenger's Achilles' heel as a manager can be seen, that is, when there is an emergency or accident on the field, the professor is rarely able to come up with a timely response, but just watches the team being squashed and kneaded by the opponent little by little.

At this time, Wenger is more like a qualified viewer than a competent manager!

If the Arsenal coach standing on the sidelines at this time is Capello or Ferguson, then they will definitely immediately run to the sidelines and order the team not to continue to compete with Fiorentina for midfield control, give the ball to the opponent, and switch to defensive counterattacks on their own side.

If Arsene Wenger can position Patrick Vieira, who has a strong view of the big picture, as the starting point for the counter-attack, and the Ice Prince as a tactical fulcrum, allowing Nicolas Anelka and Ovemas to threaten the Fiorentina goal with their pace, then Arsenal will not be able to fight in this game.

It's a pity that Arsene Wenger, who was sitting firmly in the dugout, didn't take any measures, just watching Fiorentina, who was more technically superior, pressing Arsenal back into their half and not scoring an inch!

After that, Fiorentina, who completely controlled the midfield, began to attack the door of Arsenal!

In the face of Parol's pressing, Redondo took the ball at his feet, and at the same time took a light turn, easily dodged Parol's steal, and then rushed past Parl, who was unable to close up, with the ball.

Seeing this, Petit hurriedly stepped forward to make up for the defense, but before he could arrive, Redondo had already passed the ball to Ljungberg on the right.

The Swede took two steps forward after winning the ball and immediately passed it to Zambrotta, who cut in from behind, to see if he could take advantage of the local numerical advantage to break through Arsenal's left-hand defence.

However, Winterburn, who is in charge of Arsenal's left side defense, is quite solid at this time, and did not give Ljungberg and Zambrotta a chance to break through, after all, the Arsenal left-back is an old man from the Graham era, regardless of his personal ability, but his defensive ability is definitely quite reliable.

It can be said that the reason why Wenger was able to quickly break Manchester United's dominance of the Premier League title after becoming Arsenal's manager is that Graham has left behind the five old defenders!

Returning to the game, Zambrotta found that he saw that Winterburn in front of him did not show any flaws, so he did not choose to force a breakthrough, but passed the ball back to Ljungberg, who came up to answer - after all, before the game started, Capello also deliberately emphasized to them in the dressing room that this game should be as patient and steady as possible, don't rush to break through or attack when you get the ball, control the rhythm of the game, and wait for Arsenal's defense to be flawed, and then slash the opponent in one fell swoop!

In this way, while letting the Arsenal players who tried to steal have a good exercise, the ball was passed by the Fiorentina players in the midfield for a whole circle, which made many fans feel a little confused, and said that Fiorentina is not going to attack tonight, but is ready to play dog walking?

Capello, who was standing on the sidelines, nodded appreciatively when he saw the players so expressionly. According to his analysis, Arsenal's attacking attacks are based on increasing the tempo of the game, as can be seen from the speed of their attackers.

Parol and Overmars are both the kind of wide attackers with good technique and speed, and it is not uncommon for them to run a few dozen meters with the ball; Anelka's pace is also not slow, and the Frenchman's breakthrough ability can be considered top-notch; Coupled with a Bergkamp who is at the peak of his career and has not yet degraded such a hard indicator as speed, Arsenal's overall speed of advance in attack is terrifying!

Although Fiorentina's frontcourt attack is not slow, it is different from Arsenal's pursuit of the overall advancement in fast-paced attack, Purple Lily's speed is more reflected in the coordination between several players in the counterattack, plus multi-level and three-dimensional counterattack tactics. And in terms of absolute speed, Fiorentina is actually inferior to Arsenal.

Therefore, Capello's method of dealing with Arsenal, in addition to the previously mentioned struggle for midfield control, has another point, that is, to completely slow down the pace of the game, and must not let Arsenal take the rhythm lightly!

For the Fiorentina players, they have long been accustomed to a variety of game rhythms, after all, in Serie A, the world's highest level of stage, there are such a group of managers who think about tactics every day, and it is obviously impossible to gain a foothold in Serie A without strong tactical adaptability.

So, whether it's fast or slow, for Fiorentina, it really doesn't make a difference. However, for the Arsenal players, who are accustomed to the fast pace, this slow pace of play makes them feel extremely uncomfortable, and it makes it difficult for them to play to their full strength in the game; At the same time, with the midfield suppressed, the likes of Bergkamp and Nicolas Anelka had to retreat more to the midfield to ask for the ball, and these two were far away from the penalty area, which greatly reduced the defensive pressure on Nesta and Stam.

And, since Fiorentina had much more time on the ball than Arsenal, it meant that Fiorentina would attack more often and have more chances to shoot.

In the face of Fiorentina's flood of attack, Arsenal's players had to further compress their defensive formation, protecting the penalty area and its front line as much as possible, trying to defend the opponent's attack with a bucket formation.

Faced with this situation, it is naturally the turn of Vieri and Effenberg to step up and tear apart Arsenal's turtle shell with strong attacks and long-range shots!

In the sixteenth minute of the game, Redondo used a Marseille maneuver to get rid of Petit's pressing, and then knocked the ball to Effenberg with his heel extremely covertly.

At this time, although Seaman was already a thirty-five-year-old uncle, he was not as old and dizzy as he was in the World Cup in South Korea and Japan a few years later, and his competitive state was still maintained at a fairly high level.

The only fly in the ointment was that Seaman, who made a successful save, did not confiscate the ball, but blocked the ball back into the box - this is also something that cannot be helped, with the power of Effenberg's long-range shot, Seaman really does not dare to make such a move, because it is likely to lead to some consequences that he cannot predict.

And Uncle Seaman's omission happened to be caught by Ronaldo, and the aliens who saw the ball bounce back into the penalty area rushed up to prepare for the shoot, and Keown, who was responsible for marking him, was not Ronaldo's opponent in terms of explosiveness at all!

In desperation, Keown stretched out his right leg from behind Ronaldo's side, glanced at the position of the ball, and then suddenly kicked the ground with his left leg, and shoveled directly towards Ronaldo!
