Volume 1 Chapter 585 Details Determine Success or Failure
Wenger privately hopes that the dream of a local tyrant boss falling from the sky can be realized, and it is not known for the time being, but one thing is very clear, that is, with the current Arsenal squad, it is difficult to challenge the powerful Tottenham Hotspur.
However, if Tottenham Hotspur are not in good form, it will be a different story.
Visiting the White Hart Lane stadium, Wenger's calculation was also very loud, that is, to use Tottenham Hotspur to fight continuously, especially the two Champions League games with Barcelona are inseparable, and take this opportunity to defeat Tottenham Hotspur in one breath and the shame of the first round of round-robin.
Tottenham Hotspur is not in good shape, which is obvious to anyone with eyes, Wenger naturally will not miss it, so the Gunners visited the White Hart Lane stadium, and at the beginning of the game, they uncharacteristically raised the offensive banner and kept attacking the Tottenham Hotspur defense, while Tottenham Hotspur, which was fighting at home, adopted a steady counterattack tactic.
Arsenal started the game with goalkeeper Almunia, Klich, Silvestre, Vermaelen and Sagna at the back, Arteta and Alexander Song in midfield, Rosicky, Nasri and Walcott up front, and Bendtner as the single striker.
Ye Qiu is also very careful about Arsenal's game, the main force is out, the goalkeeper is Cech, the back line is Coentrão, Kompany, Thiago Silva and Alves, the midfield is David Silva, Yaya Toure and Cesc Fabregas, and the front field is Hazzard, Falcao and Messi.
Ribery was physically tired because he played the whole game against Barcelona and played a lot of games in the past few games, and Peter Brandt suggested to Ye Qiu to let him rest, so Ye Qiu played Hazzard in this game.
Falcao is currently Tottenham Hotspur's top scorer in the Premier League, and the goal this season is no longer the Premier League's single-season scoring record, but 40 Premier League goals, which also makes Falcao the hottest super scorer in European football this season, and almost everyone is surprised by his solid scoring ability.
Arsene Wenger has clearly learned from the mistakes made by Barcelona against Tottenham Hotspur before, and he does not adopt a crazy counter-attacking tactic on the spot, because he does not want to repeat the mistakes of Barcelona, so he chooses to attack steadily.
Tottenham Hotspur greeted Arsenal like a big enemy, but there was no fear, but spread out the entire defensive formation, let go of the two wings, Ye Qiu was even more in the layout of the defense, focusing on telling the two fullbacks to let Arsenal's side go down, but prevent them from cutting inside.
As for Arsenal's main center Nicolas Bendtner, Ye Qiu knows very well that Wenger uses him in the hope that he can play the kind of dominance that Adebayo did in and out of the penalty area last season, as well as the strength to attack the city for the team, but after a season of testing, it turned out that Bendtner was a failure
The reason is simple, he is neither Henry nor Ibrahimovic, but the problem is that he thinks of himself as both Henry and Ibrahimovic.
Whether it is in terms of height or technical characteristics, Bendtner is very similar to Ibrahimovic, but in terms of ball sense and technical details, the gap between Bendtner and Ibrahimovic is really not half a point, especially in stopping and handling.
Ibrahimovic's biggest advantage is that he is not only delicate, but he is also very good at using his physical fitness to play to his physical advantages, coupled with delicate skills, making his ability to handle the ball very well, and he can press any defender unscrupulously, which is very similar to Drogba.
But Bendtner is not, the Dane has the height of the Nordics, but he is not strong enough, he is not strong enough, his header ability is not very good, and the speed of turning and starting is very good among tall players, but when it comes to the type of central defenders like Thiago Silva and Kompany, he is not at all advantageous.
What's more, Bendtner always thinks that he is Henry, he doesn't like to get entangled in the penalty area, he likes to pull the side, just like Henry at the peak of the year, pull to the side to get the ball and hit the ribs and hit the ribs, into the penalty area.
Ye Qiu has always felt that personality is a very important part of whether a young player can become a talent.
Just like Messi, although he is very talented, he also trains very hard, and more importantly, he has a very humble character; And like Cristiano Ronaldo, he has low self-esteem in his bones, so don't look at him as arrogant, but in fact he has very high requirements for himself, but this kind of high is not exaggerated, but he desperately wants to win everyone and prove himself, which will make him keep improving his requirements for himself, keep practicing hard, and keep improving his strength.
In other words, a player's personality is a key factor in determining whether a player is capable of learning and growing.
Bendtner's personality clearly does not fall into this type, he performed well last season, but clashed with Bam Adebayor, and when he did well, he even dared to ask Croatian player Eduardo da Silva for the number nine shirt and publicly ask for a contract extension.
Maybe people who like Bendtner will think that this is a player with a lot of self-confidence, which is a good phenomenon, because Ibrahimovic is also notoriously overconfident, but the problem is that Ibrahimovic's self-confidence is based on strength, or constantly improving his own strength, and what about Bendtner?
Ye Qiu has coached Ibrahimovic, he knows very well, don't look at Ibrahimovic's slippery mouth, but this kid has a good training attitude, he has a big mouth and a big mouth, but he knows very well what he needs to do, as for Bendtner, Ye Qiu doesn't know what to do.
But in this game, Bendtner, who has performed well in Arsenal this season, is good when it is good and bad when it is bad, and has not been looked at by Ye Qiu from beginning to end.
Tottenham Hotspur's defensive focus in this game is to suppress Arsenal's midfield in the middle, so that their ground penetration can not effectively pass into Tottenham Hotspur's threat area, forcing Arsenal's attack to go more to the wing, and without a high striker like Adebayo to keep up, no matter how many side crosses are made, is it useful?
Therefore, the beginning of this game actually reflects the intention of Ye Qiu's set of targeted play, Arsenal's wing is very active, whether it is Rosicky on the left or Walket on the right, they are very active, and they won a corner kick in less than a minute in the opening game.
Then Arsenal also frequently created threats on the wings, Klich and Sagna also actively participated in the attack, and the whole offensive became very powerful, while Tottenham Hotspur was still steadily organizing the defense, so Arsenal's attack looked a bit thunderous and rainy.
But Arsenal is not Barcelona in the end, the Spanish team's attack is very threatening, after all, there are Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets in the midfield, and Iniesta's possession and promotion ability is also quite good, Van Persie, Pedro and Alexis Sanchez's trident is also very complementary, making Barcelona's attack very threatening.
These are all things that Arsenal does not have, whether it is the trident or the midfield, it is obviously inferior to Barcelona.
In this case, Tottenham Hotspur were quick to counter-attack.
In the twelfth minute, Arsenal launched an attack, Bendtner pulled to the left to meet Rosicky, and after getting the pass, the Dane tried to cut inside with the ball, but was disturbed by Alves, who cut inside a little too much, and Thiago Silva quickly cut the ball away.
One aspect of Bendtner's better than Ibrahimovic is that he is more committed to the game and he is more team-oriented, so after conceding the ball, he immediately put in the counter-attack, and Thiago Silva quickly defended the ball after breaking the ball, blocked Bendtner with his body, and then passed the ball to Alves on the right.
In the face of Rosicky, Alves kicked the ball forward directly, and the man quickly bypassed Rosicky and chased it directly.
At this time, Arsenal's entire back line was retreating rapidly, but Alves's speed was very fast, after crossing the middle line, he obviously took an inward diagonal line, Falcao and Messi were holding back Arsenal's three defenders who were chasing back in place, Alexander Song rushed to Alves for the first time, and stuck to Alves, and the two competed for speed.
Three defenses and two, and because of Alexander Song's closeness, Alves can't get up, and the distance between Falcao and Messi is a little bigger, if you pass the ball at this time, it is basically to pass the ball to Arsenal's defenders, so Alves can't get rid of Alexander Song, and even has the danger of being cut off, he chooses to stop urgently.
Seeing an emergency stop, Alexander Song rushed a little too much, although he reacted immediately and caught up again, but still gave Alves some respite, and the Brazilian right-back saw Hazzard run from the left to the middle to respond.
I was overjoyed, and my first reaction was that this kid was smart enough, and I knew that I was too long with the two teammates in front of me, so Alves immediately grabbed the ball before Alexander Song and passed the ball to Hazzard.
The entire Arsenal midfield was in quick pursuit, and Alves was worried about Alexander Song, so the pass was a bit off target, not in front of his team-mates, according to Tottenham's usual passing standards, but behind Hazzard.
Arteta was in the midst of a quick retreat, and as soon as he saw an opportunity, he immediately mustered up the fastest speed to catch up, trying to cut the ball off before Hazzard, but the Belgian reacted quickly, pulling the ball in front of him with his left foot, allowing Arteta to save an air, and then turned around and blocked Nasri, who was catching up behind, to the right of him, and took a step to the left with his left foot.
This step was crucial, avoiding Nasri's physical entanglement, and at the same time getting himself a loose kick, even if it was still nearly thirty meters away from the goal, but after Hazzard took a chance, he looked ahead, and he found that there were three teammates in front of him, namely Falcao, Messi and Alves, but there were six defenders, if you count Nasri next to him, a total of seven Arsenal defenders in place.
If anyone else tells Hazzard at this time that Arsenal don't pay attention to defense, Hazzard will definitely give him a slap in the face and tell him, is your math taught by the PE teacher? Don't know how to count?
There was no chance to pass the ball, because no matter which angle the pass, there were at least two defenders blocking, which was obviously the defensive strategy that Arsenal had laid out against Falcao and Messi.
Seeing that there was no chance, the dead horse took it as a live horse doctor, and directly picked up his left foot, and the instep of his foot against the ball was a powerful volley.
This shot has a long range and the timing of the kick is very sudden, because it has just entered the 30-meter area, and it is indeed surprising enough to come directly to such a kick, and more importantly, if it is Falcao or Messi, I believe that the Arsenal defenders will pay more attention, after all, they are Tottenham Hotspur's scorers.
But the problem is that Hazzard is only 18 years old, although he has played in the first team of Tottenham Hotspur for two seasons, but whether it is from the perspective of seniority, or from the perspective of strength and influence, he should choose to pass the ball to Falcao and Messi, so no one thought that this Belgian teenager would come directly to such a kick.
Falcao and Messi weren't too surprised, both of them saw Hazzard get up and quickly rushed towards the goal, ready to pick up the leak.
But no one arrived first, Hazzard's shot arc was not big, but the strength was very strong, and the speed was very fast, Almunia reacted, but the ball grazed the left post and drilled into the goal, 0
More than 30,000 Tottenham Hotspur fans across the White Hart Lane stadium were taken aback and scored like this?
Even the scorer Hazzard himself was shocked, he didn't expect the goal to go in this way
Nearly 30 meters, such a long shot, for a young player who is only 18 years old, is simply unbelievable
Therefore, after the goal, the Belgian obviously stood in place and was stunned for two or three seconds, until Fabregas and others behind him rushed up and hugged him, and he realized that he had scored.
Falcao and Messi also rushed up and hugged Hazzard tightly to celebrate his goal of scoring such a wonderful world wave
"A goal from 28 metres away from Tottenham Hotspur's 18-year-old Belgian winger, Eden Hazzard, is a brilliant long-range shot"
"Eden Hazzard, who has been firmly established in Tottenham's first team since last season, is seen as the future rookie of Tottenham Hotspur along with Welsh teenager Aaron Ramsey and homegrown right-back Kyle Walker, and these players have performed very well this season, especially Eden Hazard, who has performed well as a substitute on both wings."
"It's a brilliant kick and it's so sudden, it's obvious that even the players themselves were surprised" Andy Gray was obviously joking when he commented, and Haruha laughed: "But sometimes football is like that, you say he scored, but this shot is very good both from the arc and from the angle, and he hit the goal with his left foot, which is very smart"
The live camera is repeatedly replaying the whole process of Eden Hazzard's goal just now, Nasri is already close to him, if he hits the goal with his right foot with his usual foot, Nasri can directly make a block or tackle, so Eden Hazzard's cleverness is that he uses his left foot to control the ball and block Nasri on the right side of his body.
'Very clever in handling the ball and we've noticed that Tottenham Hotspur pay a lot of attention to these aspects of the details, and we've heard that Tottenham have a lot of equipment specifically designed to help players deal with and deal with these seemingly insignificant details on the football pitch.
"And it's these details that make or break a game"
"0 Tottenham Hotspur have taken the lead at home and now the situation is very unfavorable for Arsenal"
Yes, if you can't attack for a long time and are pierced by the opponent's counterattack, such a blow will definitely be a nightmare for Arsenal, if Ye Qiu doesn't know how to make good use of this advantage, then he is really not Ye Qiu.
I saw Ye Qiu pulling the players to his side when the team was celebrating the goal, and loudly explained the task over there.
After the game resumed, Tottenham Hotspur immediately launched a round of crazy pressing against Arsenal, and the defense was also pressed straight forward, showing that the carriage was to take advantage of the advantage of the first goal, and when Arsenal's morale was exhausted, they chased the Gunners fiercely.
As it turned out, Arsenal were now in a fragile period, being pressed by Tottenham Hotspur, and their defence immediately became chaotic, also because the two centre-backs Vermaelen and Silvestre have been very unfamiliar with each other this season, resulting in Arsenal's defence handling poorly in blocking, marking, running and helping to defend.
This season's Arsenal has encountered strong teams, almost all of them have ended in defeat, not to mention that they can't win Manchester City, and they have suffered heavy defeats against Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Chelsea, and Arsenal has taken Benitez's Liverpool and West Ham United to play a game.
In this case, Tottenham Hotspur's fierce pursuit immediately exposed Arsenal's defensive weakness and inadequacy, and in the twenty-third minute, Cesc Fabregas went straight behind him, Arsenal wanted to create offside, but Vermaelen dragged behind the most, resulting in the failure of the offside trap, Messi got the ball and entered the penalty area, and Silvester stepped forward to block.
The Argentine unselfishly crossed into the middle of the box, and Falcao followed up and fired an easy shot through the Arsenal goal again.
0
Falcao's goal almost condemned Arsenal to death, especially in the less than half an hour of the first half, two holes into the Arsenal goal, which was a huge blow to the morale of the Gunners' players, coupled with the fact that this group of players themselves did not have any psychological advantage against strong teams, and the morale was almost exhausted.
