355 Path of the Master
Although Arsene Wenger is keen to see Qin Xiong improve his style of play for Arsenal, Qin Xiong definitely has this style of play, and in some games Qin Xiong has also shown good performance, Arsenal have shown a stronger control than before.
However, in higher-level competitions, where the ratio of strength and weakness is in an even situation, this style of play does not give Arsenal a more obvious advantage.
Because Qin Xiong was lonely and difficult to sing.
No matter how different Arsenal's style of play is from traditional English teams, Arsenal is still alive in the Premier League.
Compared with the Premier League teams, Arsenal is more delicate, more technical, and shows a certain ability to control, but compared with the European giants, Arsenal tries to control the game, which is too difficult!
For example, like Pire, Ljungberg, Reyes, and even Henry, Vieira, their style of play has almost been set, and it is difficult to change their playing habits, and they can cater to Qin Xiong in the Premier League and establish a control advantage on the field with stronger technical advantages, but in the Champions League, in the face of European giants, if Arsenal thinks that they can shape the game with possession, then Wenger is whimsical.
Although Sneijder and Van der Vaart are not necessarily better than Pire and Ljungberg, they are easier to be shaped in terms of playing habits, football thinking and personal ability, and are not as mature and assertive as Pire and Ljungberg.
Wenger also saw this, and did not expect Qin Xiong to be in control of the scene with his teammates when he needed the team to "hold on to the fruits of victory", he chose the most traditional method to strengthen the defensive strength.
Qin Xiong, who scored a hat-trick of assists, was replaced by Flamini. Arsenal fans from afar gave a standing ovation. They cheered for the heroes of the arsenal! Qin Xiong's table in this game is absolutely dazzling! European football newcomer Wang proved with practical actions that he is worthy of the honor of the first day of the contemporary talent! ”
When Qin Xiong walked out of the field. Wenger smiled and stepped forward and patted Qin Xiong on the back.
Qin Xiong took the mineral water handed by the assistant coach and sat on the bench to watch the game.
Bayern Munich's style of play lacks enough creativity to break down Arsenal's defence.
It can be said that Arsenal has changed the formation to 442 after Qin Xiong left the field.
The strikers were Reyes and Thierry Henry, two speedy players who only had counter-attacking opportunities.
Behind them, Ljungberg, Patrick Vieira, Silva, and Flamini, all have enough defensive strength, and they add the back line to form two blockades. Contain Bayern Munich's attack and keep Bayern Munich at bay.
Arsenal came close to extending their lead before the end of the game.
The fit-and-spirited Reyes had a one-on-one chance, but he couldn't capitalise on it in front of the imposing Kahn, whose shot was blocked by Kahn with his legs.
Arsenal almost ended the suspense on the road, but when the final whistle blew, the score of 3:2 also satisfied Arsenal.
"In the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals, Arsenal unexpectedly defeated Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga champion, away from home! The result was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Bayern Munich, with their players and fans very disappointed with the result, with Arsenal now in the ascendant. What will be the outcome of the battle at Highbury two weeks later? We'll see! ”
With Qin Xiong's status within the team rising, it is now after the game. The club will ask him to give a post-match interview, after all, it can't always be those players in front of the camera.
Qin Xiong came to the sidelines in a tight tank top and stood in front of a UEFA billboard to be interviewed by a slightly chubby male reporter.
"First of all, congratulations to Arsenal on the win in this game, in which you scored a hat-trick of assists and walked away at the Olympic Stadium in Munich, how do you feel now?"
Qin Xiong shrugged his shoulders and said with a light smile: "It's not easy to win, but we rely on unity and hard work, and there are better on-the-spot performances to win, this feeling is wonderful, after all, this is the Champions League knockout round, the opponent is still the strong and great Bayern Munich, I played against them for the first time, the first time I beat them, the excitement is also special, but I will refrain from it." ”
"Why? Why restraint? You look like you've won a ticket to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. ”
'No, it's wrong, Bayern Munich are very strong, we have to wake up, who wins and who loses will depend on who plays better in the game, if we were careless, we would have lost badly today and the next leg will be the same, football is played, not decided before the game.
"Do you think Arsenal have what it takes to win the Champions League this season? Arsenal have never been touched by this great honour in their history. ”
Qin Xiong immediately nodded and said, "Of course, we have the strength to defeat all opponents, but as I said, the game is played, we need to stay awake at all times, we have the strength to win the final championship, don't other teams have it?" There are other teams as well, but the key is to play in the game, and if we take it lightly and arrogantly think that we can win the Champions League lightly, then we may be eliminated by Bayern Munich in the next leg. ”
Qin Xiong knows that a 3-2 win away at Bayern Munich will not be enough for Arsenal to rest easy.
If Bayern Munich returns Arsenal a 2:0 in Highbury in the next leg, is it impossible?
Football is always played, and no one is blindly confident and optimistic, especially when the opponent has enough strength.
Arsenal triumphed in London, and Fleet Street sang praises for Arsenal's great victory, among which Qin Xiong and Henry are known as the "dream combination"!
The Times published a war report with the headline: The two kings of the arsenal work together to destroy the German tank!
"The total number of assists in the Premier League and the Champions League combined has reached 27, Qin Xiong is undoubtedly the leader in European assists this season, and Henry has scored 30 goals in all competitions, and he is hitting the European Golden Boot Award, the Premier League, and the Champions League's top scorer in the same season! Arsene Wenger is happy, he has the best assist player in European football right now, and the player with the most scoring ability! Arsenal fans can look forward to the arrival of the first ever Champions League title, and they have the right to fantasize because Arsenal are getting closer to perfection! ”
The "Star" report focuses on the analysis of Qin Xiong's style of play: if we carefully study and observe Qin Xiong's recent frequent use of footwork when assisting, we can see that he is fixing an improvisational passing method into his own style, that is, the outside instep kicks a straight ball with internal rotation arc, forming a predictive interference and confusion to the defender, he will spin in Marseille, but 99% of the fans in the world will think of Zidane when they hear the Marseille turn, and his arc cross is also impressive, but Beckham's full moon scimitar has been alone, He can also take free kicks, but Juninho, Pirlo, Albertini and other stars are all at the top of their craft, and I think Qin Xiong is trying to create his own stunt! Could it be a straight plug of this frontal curl ball? He's got a scalpel-like passing skill and amazing timing, and now it's up to him to polish and round it and put his name on it, if that's the case, he's no longer a master, he's a master of his own stunt in the green world!
