BBC Studios.

The organisers invited several Gunners legends who did not arrive at the Emirates Stadium to watch the game.

'Do you feel any difference between this Arsenal in 16/17 and the previous ones?'

The moderator asked.

Adams thought for a moment and said: "These players don't wet the bed because they drink too much, yes, I quit drinking because Wenger respects me and he's always so gentle. ”

"I wanted to beat him up at first, but he was so gentle that I pinned Wright, who was always late, against the wall."

"There was no special means, this weak university teacher took control of the Arsenal dressing room, you know, we were in a mess at that time."

The crowd laughed.

In the early days of Arsene Wenger's takeover of Arsenal, he faced a group of "old hooligans" who were outdated, drunk, irritable and dirty.

At that time, the media commented: A sheep wants to be the leader of the wolf pack?

Vieira added: "There was a lot of difference in tactical style, with Arsene Wenger playing 4-4-2 in the early days and playing counter-attacks in the low post because our overall technique couldn't support long periods of passing and cutting pressure. ”

"Except for Bergkamp."

'It wasn't until Euro 2000 when Pire came to Arsenal that that changed that, we were able to keep our opponents in the box and often pull out 5-0, 6-0 massacres.

'Arsene Wenger's tactical philosophy has always been up to date.

"The rivals in the championship are not the same, Manchester United was a red empire at that time, a club at the level of European hegemony!"

Pire shook his head and said: "Thierry Henry is the core, he was a waste in Serie A for a year, he came to Highbury and became king, I think Arsene Wenger has the ability to turn decay into magic. ”

Henry blushed and explained: "At that time, Bergkamp's role is more obvious and returns to the main topic, this year's Arsenal team is facing more complex challenges, the opponent is stronger, although the attack and suppression are far less than our period, but more balanced, and the balance here refers to stronger tactical adaptability." ”

Everyone turned their attention to the Ice Prince.

Bergkamp's face was grim, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "This is the value of Lee, if he can continue his terrifying strength on the Champions League stage, no one can stop him." ”

The game was played in the 15th minute.

In the bottom left corner of the large screen is inserted player run data. Li Kang is at the bottom.

The Gunslinger legends fell silent.

Emirates Stadium.

The fans cheered on their players.

Manchester City attacked like crazy and the formation was converted to 2-3-5!

The two full-backs switched to midfield and were ready to respond to the two-point attack.

The lone arrow - Sergio Aguero has temporarily become a mascot, wandering between the two central defenders of the opposition: as a centre-forward, he is more nostalgic for the era of Roberto Mancini and Pegon than for the era of Manchester City's reconstruction.

Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling stretched the width of their attack to the limit, widening the gap between Arsenal's two full-backs and centre-backs.

Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva were active on the left and right flanks, providing strong pressing power and ready to deliver a lethal pass.

Arsenal looked dangerous but just didn't concede a goal.

Arsene Wenger had experience with Pep Guardiola back then, and the weak and strong sides of the low post defence changed very quickly.

From time to time, Li Kang looked to the sidelines and observed Guardiola's gestures.

God's perspective gradually divides the football field into 20 small grids.

District 20.

His job is simple:

Whichever direction Manchester City attacked, Arsenal's team-mates increased the number of defenders in which direction.

Li Kang, on the other hand, stood on the weak side of the ribs and strangled David Silva or De Bruyne from attacking laterally.

Gradually.

His effective runs are getting less and less

Let's take an intuitive example: Manchester City's offensive passing and running changes at this stage are like a big murder cover, squeezing towards the opponent, Arsenal's defense is a pair of hands, nine fingers to dismantle the more violent side of the big murder cover, leaving the small tail finger to resist the big murder cover suddenly switching to the other side of the squeeze.

The middle of this big murder cover is unbuttoned.

"Henry once said that when he played for Gua-style Barcelona, he once put aside the attacking arrangement of the coaching staff, and scored a goal after changing positions without authorization, which made Guardiola angry, and it didn't take long to replace him."

"The same is true for Manchester City in this period."

"The rotation of all players, the blurring of roles, cannot be separated from the framework laid out by Guardiola."

"Oops, David Silva's slash pass was ruined by Li Kang again."

"Pep Guardiola's Manchester City have been rebuilding for a season and still haven't made much progress, with a complex but fixed attacking routine."

Live room.

Barrage flies.

[Is Li Minglan paddling? 】

-

[I heard that Paris will spend 220 million to poach Neymar, and Xiao Lizi's transfer record was immediately broken. 】

-

[What has Guardiola rebuilt? Leaving the peak of Barcelona, Habai Bume, he will be scourged wherever he goes, and after pit Bayern and Manchester City, he is not as good as Mancini and Peigong. 】

-

[Don't worry, reconstruction needs to be calculated in years, Manchester City fans must be patient, give Guardiola eight years, and then smash 1.3 billion to 1.6 billion euros!] It will definitely be able to achieve the dominance of the peak Barcelona period. 】

-

[More than a billion? It's better to dig up Li Ming's lantern! Solve the Triple Crown in one go. 】

-

[The meaning is different, what the Abu Dhabi consortium needs is not a big-name star, nor is it a pursuit of a temporary championship, but through Pep Guardiola to build a real giant, including the youth training system, and establish a distinctive, highly ornamental and inherited football style from the bottom up. 】

-

[Li Mingdeng, a superstar with his own system, will only disrupt the future layout and style shaping of Blue Moon, and it has nothing to do with how much money is invested, once he joins Manchester City and leaves, will there be other players who can continue his supergod performance? Manchester City don't need a supergiant in the future, what they need is legacy. 】

-

[The significance of Guardiola to Manchester City is equivalent to Cruyff and Barcelona! ] That's what the Abu Dhabi consortium is after. 】

20th minute of the game.

The first two parts of City's 2-3-5 formation have been pressed to the centre line.

Yaya Toure sent a diagonal cross to the ground and found De Bruyne on the right of the 30-metre area.

The latter didn't turn his head, touched the ball with one foot, and distributed it to Sane, who was cutting forward at high speed on the side.

Sane slowed down after receiving the ball and feigned to burst into the box.

Arsenal's defenders immediately gathered and the whole line began to tilt.

Meanwhile.

De Bruyne took two steps back and found a better environment to get the ball out of the flanks.

Sane immediately passed the ball back!

"Danger!"

"The rainbow is coming!"

"The left side of the Arsenal penalty area is empty again!"

"De Bruyne crosses at 45 degrees in the ribs!"

Smack.

The ball left Tintin's right foot and created a rainbow-like arc over the Arsenal penalty area.

The location was extremely ambiguous, which made Cech in a dilemma.

Raheem Sterling kicks the turf, starts up at an accelerated pace, enters the penalty area, and is ready to deliver the fatal blow with his head!

outcome

He didn't get to eat the cake and crashed into a wall.

Li Kang easily stuck his position, and Cech fell to the ground with a hug.

"It's a pity!"

"Effortless slots."

'City had a thorough understanding of the attacking space and took advantage of the number change in Arsenal's low defence.

"But I just met a La Masia No. 4 who has a deeper understanding of space."

"Look at Arsenal's transition attack!"

If Manchester City loses possession of the ball in the autonomous attacking phase, the first time is not to retreat like Arsenal, but to form a set of coordinated pressing on the spot in the local area where the football is located.

This is also one of the reasons why Guardiola plays a single midfielder or does not arrange a midfielder.

Pity.

After passing the football with two feet, it came to Li Kang's feet.

Klich, David Silva and Raheem Sterling quickly grabbed the counter-attack.

I can't grab it at all.

There was no way to even delay Arsenal's counter-attack.

In Li Kang's field of vision, the phantom of No. 21 in blue appeared.

David Silva.

Space Magician Module.

Slow version of Messi.

God's perspective, clearly deconstructing the division of Manchester City's 20-zone defense.

Flashing and moving.

Pull and pull.

Push again.

The football was like a sharp blade, penetrating Manchester City's local anti-robbery circle!

David Silva was a little in a trance, but didn't think much about it, because Li Kang has always been excellent in his mind.

Instead of being in a daze, he quickly turned around and returned to defense.

"Chic!"

"A super long straight plug that lifts weights like a light!"

"A domineering straight line, piercing through Manchester City's midfield defense!"

"Giroud!"

Giroud, despite being a lone arrow, is the slowest runner and is in a recessed position in the attacking formation.

Bellerin, Sanchez, Cazorla, and Walcott frantically stepped forward to open up the width of the attack and form a four-point fan!

It's time for Giroud's old scalper to embroider!

Facing the ball with your back to the ball.

Raise your left foot.

Syllable!

The ball rises off the ground, spins violently, and flies to the right side of the Manchester City half!

It happened to be the vacuum after Krish's displacement.

"Walcott!"

"Super fast horse!"

"One Ride!"

"Perfect transition offense!"

Goalkeeper Caballero made a suffrage back into the box.

Fernandio, Kompany and Otamendi quickly shrank their defences.

It's too late.

Walcott had already dribbled the ball to the edge of the penalty area.

Decisive cross to the middle!

Cazorla and Sanchez form two flanking points!

Bang!

The master of equilibrium is achieved overnight.

The ball flew lightly over Caballero's head and into the net.

1:0！！！

"The ball is in!"

"Cazorla's exquisite pick!"

"Little Tiger's assist."

"Arsenal open the scoring!"

"Pep Guardiola's high-level defense has a lot of hidden dangers, even the mid-table team Everton can slaughter this blue moon 4-0!"

"Leicester City, who are just out of the relegation zone, have also beaten Manchester City 4-2 this season."

"There are also Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, Middlesbrough, Manchester United, Chelsea, and we believe Pep Guardiola will be able to make a comeback next season!"

"Judging by the real-time standings. Manchester City will have to fight for a top four this season to qualify for the Champions League next season. ”

The cheers at the Emirates Stadium grew louder.

The Premier League title is just around the corner.

The Arsenal players gathered and hugged each other tightly.

"Li, how did you pass the ball, isn't my ball also handsome?"

"Compared to the previous two games against Liverpool and Tottenham, tonight was too easy!"

Li Kang smiled and didn't continue to focus on Guardiola's gestures, which felt like cheating on an exam.

The joy of one side sets off the sadness of the other.

De Bruyne, who was reluctant to chase back, was so angry that he stomped his foot lightly.

Caballero looked helpless, and finally beat Bravo to become the main goalkeeper of Manchester City, is he going to experience a massacre today?

That feeling is even worse than being kicked to a broken bone by Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty.

Pitchside.

Wenger smiled and applauded, just in terms of the first hand arrangement, he had never been crushed by the melon-style peak dream of three Barcelona in those years.

Boulder was elated.

"Boss, starting the next round, let's brush the data for Li!"

On the premise of winning the championship in advance, the coaching staff will really create opportunities for core players to brush up on data.

Feed the bread with all the strength of the team.

Of course, there are also those who play overturns, such as Chelsea in the second phase of Mu.

Wenger thought for a moment and said: "Lee will probably feed this group of teammates data"

The other side.

Guardiola scratched his bald head in confusion.

After a season of experimentation, he doesn't take winning or losing so seriously.

"See? Lee's position on the ball in the attacking phase is full-back! ”

"He's going to be the king of the ball at the back!"

'Olivier Giroud is a tandem midfielder and Cazorla is a case of striker.

'Arsenal are pioneers in positional ambiguity.

He is a very pure tactical maniac when he plays, occasionally throwing a tantrum and spanking his disciple's ass.

Arteta has a black line on his face.

The coach of his own country has a magic barrier again, so he won't pull the opposing players to talk about tactics again, right?

It's not that complicated.

It's just that Wenger gives his players plenty of freedom in transitioning attacks.

Live room.

[Li Mingdeng is lazy, he doesn't want to run away, do you want Arsenal to erect a statue for you? ] (Dog's head saves his life)】

-

[Guardiola is experimenting again, Manchester City's backline combination this season. There are close to twenty, and if you count the goalkeepers, you can't count how many variations there are. 】

-

[Pep Guardiola: The ultimate in football, what is it. 】

Match resumed.

Manchester City couldn't find much of a chance.

The complex offensive routine has been studied by the coaching staff of the Premier League: without a goalkeeper like Bravo, the coordination of the three general directions around the ribs of the blue moon is relatively simple.

Pep Guardiola struggled to find a goalkeeper who would best fit City's system.

VIP box.

The Arsenal hierarchy were very happy with the situation.

"We're going to have to increase the percentage of bonuses for the players and the coaching staff by a big margin!"

"Who will persuade Arsène again?"

"The bank said that if Arsene Wenger leaves Arsenal, it will apply the normal loan approval criteria for the club."

Everyone looked at each other, as if they had been doused with a basin of cold water.

Shareholders are clamoring for dividends.

Arsenal are modernising their clubs, and the reforms cost a lot of money

BBC Studios.

Bergkamp suddenly said: "Even we can erect a statue at the Emirates Stadium, why is Wenger not qualified?"

Is there still it at night? Yes, yes.
