After the game, Arsene Wenger was very unhappy with Yelo's red card, and he said in his press conference that the referee's second yellow card for Yelo was too harsh!

Many media outlets were also discussing the red card after the game.

Because this is the first red card of Yelo's career so far.

Of course, there was also more media talk about Arsenal's comeback – it's been a long time since Arsenal had come back in such a dramatic comeback.

People are praising Yelo's wonderful performance.

And for Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, the boss is already clear. It's time for the team to change.

The reversal of this game was thrilling, and it even relied on Ye Luo's stunner to complete the reversal.

If the team's problems are not solved, will it be necessary to rely on such luck to win the game in the future?

For a team aiming for a championship, if this hidden danger is not solved, it will sooner or later become the fuse that drags down the team and makes the team collapse at a critical moment.

Starting with the game against Manchester City, the team has played eight games, five league games, two Champions League games and one League Cup.

There are goals conceded in every game!

This is a serious problem!

Conceding goals in every game is a sign that there is a major problem in the team's defence, and Arsenal would not have been able to do so if it weren't for the team's attack covering up the defensive problem.

In other words, if it weren't for Yelo, Arsenal would probably have fallen to the middle of the league at the start of the season.

When the team resumes training.

Arsene Wenger, who was on the sidelines of the training ground, frowned slightly, staring at the players who were training.

'Maybe we need to make some changes to our defensive system.

Arsene Wenger said.

Assistant Coach Steve. Blake nodded solemnly.

The team's problems have fallen on the desks of the coaching staff.

In fact, it can be summed up in two points.

The first is, of course, that the team is inexperienced and the average age is too young.

The second is that the team is now a bit more "glass people".

Needless to say, Vermaelen, Diaby and Gervinho belong to the old wounded number.

Charge it for two hours and use it for two minutes.

Arsenal's "prince" Wilshere, who was previously expected to be reimbursed for the season after an injury against Wigan last season, played two substitute games this season and is now missing training due to injury.

In addition, there are two old wounded names, Rosicky and Arshavin.

Arteta used to be quite durable, but as he got older, he began to suffer from injuries.

The first problem is not too big of a problem in Wenger's opinion.

The real crux lies in the second question.

On the surface, Arsenal's squad is quite good.

But what about excluding these glass men and old wounds?

There are only a few young people left who don't have much experience.

It's really hard to make the decision to exclude these players from the main lineup.

"There's very little room for change."

Blake said.

'The reason for conceding more goals has to do with the fact that the midfield is too weak, Diaby can't play, Arteta can't play, and if you have three midfielders, Cazorla starts, Coquelin playing a single midfielder is not enough to protect the defence.

Wenger nodded.

Conceding more goals is not necessarily a problem with the defence.

Now that Monreal is back from injury, he is still secure at left-back.

Mertesacker and Koscielny's centre-back partnership is not particularly bad.

There are a lot of people who can play at right-back, and Sagna and Jenkinson can rotate to play.

Candidates for other positions are a little stretched.

On the surface, Arsenal have a large squad.

But there are only a few people who can really use it.

The Premier League's schedule is much more dense than La Liga and the Bundesliga.

Not only does the Premier League have one more cup to play, but there is no winter break.

The Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League, and four fronts of the battle, if there is not enough rotation, it will not be able to support it at all.

"We need to make up our minds."

Arsene Wenger said.

"It won't be too for them." Blake wasn't done yet.

Arsene Wenger turned around and said: "I'm not going to give up on them, if they can stay healthy for the long term, they will win back into the starting line-up!" ”

Blake was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Indeed, for Arsenal, not to mention the problem of how to rotate, it is imperative to maintain a stable main starter as much as possible.

If the starting line-up is inconsistent, one injury today, one injury tomorrow, the result is a lack of consistency and consistency on the field.

This is one of the reasons why Arsenal have struggled so much over the years.

"Other than that, I'm going to change the formation. Where do you think the best location for a leaf is? Arsene Wenger asked.

"This." After hearing this question, Blake thought about it seriously, then shook his head and said: "I don't know, I even think he can play in any position in the frontcourt, whether he is a left winger, a right winger, a center forward, a shadow striker and other positions, he can give the best performance!" Blake said.

"You're right!" Arsene Wenger looked at the players on the pitch and handed over the task to the other coaches.

Arsene Wenger returned to his office with Blake.

Arsene Wenger took out the tactical board and placed the pieces representing the players on the tactical board.

“4311？” Blake was stunned, how could there be one less person? The old man is confused? Not quite like it?

Wenger pointed to the initial position of the players on the tactical board and said: "According to our starting arrangements in the last few games, in midfield, with Diaby injured, Coquelin is the only midfielder who defends at the back, which puts a lot of pressure on him!" So." Arsene Wenger pointed to the three dots lined up in midfield.

"My idea is to have three midfielders to protect the defence and receive the ball!"

"Three backs?" Blake asked, somewhat uncertainly.

'No, no, no, unlike a back three, the fact that we have a defensive midfielder and two central midfielders here is the type of player.

"But what about offense? Are we just going to rely on these few players up front? "Blake looked ahead,

"This position is Cazorla's, this position is Giroud's or Walcott's!" Wenger said, pointing to the two 1s of 4311 in front of him.

"Where is Ye arranged?"

"You've got the crux of the matter!" Arsene Wenger laughed, "I'm not going to give him any place!" He is free! ”

"Free man?"

"It's not a free man, but it's almost, he's in the midfield when he needs midfield control, he's in the front when he needs to score, in short, he won't have a fixed position, I need him to play according to his own ideas and wills, any restrictions are a suppression of his strength!" Arsene Wenger.

"4321 or 4312?" Blake stared at the tactics board.

"No, no, no, don't get into fixed thinking, he can even appear on the back waist line if he feels necessary!" Arsene Wenger said.

"This won't be. Let him take on too much responsibility, too much pressure? Blake frowned.

"I'm not worried!" Arsene Wenger is full of confidence, "I have a lot of confidence in him, do you know what a football king is? This is the real king of the ball. That's how the king of the ball plays! ”

"You're not worried about him being frozen?"

"Who? Who can freeze him? Arsene Wenger said, and without waiting for Blake's answer, continued: "We have three midfielders to protect the defence, we are absolutely solid defensively, and at the same time completely unlock Yelo's freedom in attack, I believe that even if we take one player from the front, it will not affect the team's attacking sharpness!" ”

Blake looked at the tactical board.

In theory, Wenger's idea is indeed feasible.

Mertesacker and Koscielny are both the tall type of centre-backs who don't turn around quickly.

The previous consecutive goals conceded were related to this, and many teams in the Premier League chose to use dexterous strikers to play against Arsenal's two central defenders, and achieved good results.

But it's not a problem with the two defenders, because that's what they are.

It would be best to have two centre-backs with complementary characteristics, but such a combination is hard to come by, and even if there is such a player, Arsenal may not be able to buy it – not to mention that the window is now closed.

So Arsenal's coaches can only figure it out with the men they have at hand.

One more at the back and one less at the front.

While defending solidly, he completely handed over the attack in the front court to Yelo.

This is undoubtedly a great trust in Yelo's offensive ability, and it is certainly a risk.

However, judging from the ability that Ye Luo showed.

Indeed, he has the potential to organize and attack in the front court!

He can drop back into midfield to get involved in the playmaking, or he can press forward to finish the goal.

Of course, these are theoretical things.

This change will also require some tactical training adjustments from the team, as well as Yelo's own will.

Ye Luo's current status is here, let him change his style of play and change his position, it must be communicated and discussed.

"You want me to change my location?"

Ye Luo stared at the tactical board in front of him, a look of surprise on his face.

'Yes, we've conceded goals in the last few games, so I'm going to have an extra midfielder to protect the defence, but that's it. Arsene Wenger looked at Yelo: "Our attacking ability up front could be weakened. ”

"So you're going to make me move more and play with my playmaking and shooting?" Ye Luo had an interested look on his face.

Arsene Wenger has just shown him a couple of attacking routines.

As a professional player, he is of course very clear that Arsene Wenger's arrangement is actually to completely hand over the attack in front of him, his authority will be maximized, the team has no restrictions on him tactically, and any player needs to play in his position.

This arrangement may be very stressful for other players.

But for Ye Luo, he was only excited!

Because this arrangement seems to activate his abilities to the maximum.

Ye Luo's ability is very comprehensive.

Three Luo templates in hand.

Da Luo is a center forward, Xiao Luo is actually more of an attacking midfielder, and Ronaldo is a winger.

Therefore, Yelo's own positional attributes are also very vague, and at some times he will also carry out a wide range of activities to drive the team's attack.

But these are special behaviors at certain moments on the pitch.

And now, Arsene Wenger is what made him completely change his role!

"Boss, I will accept your arrangement, I don't have any problems."

Ye Luo said.

To be honest, he doesn't care what specific position he plays. And now Wenger is not weakening his authority on the pitch, but greatly liberating his performance on the pitch.

From now on.

He can even be called the team's "head coach" on the pitch.

How the team wants to play, how to attack, when to recycle, when to press, all of them are all decided by Ye Luo himself.

This kind of trust moved Ye Luo very much.

After Yelo agreed.

Arsene Wenger has also begun to arrange the content of the tactical training of the stars.

For Arsenal's players, such an arrangement is very surprising, but Yelo's individual ability is here, and no one will be unconvinced or anything.

Not to mention.

At least in training, the team was doing well.

Due to Yelo's red card of two yellows and one red, he needs to be suspended for one game.

Originally, Arsenal's side could appeal, although this suspension will most likely not be lifted, but the ban will also be postponed by one game.

After considering the pros and cons, Arsenal decided not to appeal.

Arsenal's opponent in the 11th round of the league is at home to Everton, and the opponent in the 12th round of the league is Chelsea, who are now second in the league.

And after playing Chelsea, the thirteenth round of the league is at Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United.

Even against strong opponents, they are still away from home.

Therefore, Arsenal's side would rather let Yelo complete the suspension punishment in the 11th round of the ground, so that he can play in the 12th and 13th rounds.

However, the Premier League ban does not carry over to the Champions League.

So in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage on November 7, Arsenal hosted Schalke 04 in the game, Ye Luo still appeared.

Schalke 04 are not a weak team, they are Arsenal's strongest opponents in the group stage.

After playing three rounds of the group stage, Arsenal has two wins and one draw with 7 points, ranking second

Because Schalke 04 also has two wins and one draw, ranking first in the group with goal difference.

Therefore, this game is a battle between the top and second place in the group for the top spot in the group.

Ye Luo scored four goals in the group stage of the Champions League this season, which is a lot less than his goal rate last season, and many media believe that Ye Luo "has finally returned to normal levels".

The implication is that Yelo's crazy performance in the Champions League last season was not normal.

How can this Ye Luo endure it.

Coupled with the fact that this game largely determines the position of the group, Yelo has to hold back for 10 days after this game, waiting until the 12th round of the league away to Chelsea before playing.

Therefore, in this game, Ye Luo was full of motivation, as if he wanted to vent all his strength.

Schalke 04 has performed very well in the Bundesliga in recent seasons and has repeatedly won the top four.

But they also know that they are away from home against Arsenal this season and do not have an advantage in terms of quality.

So they didn't press out against Arsenal.

They will be aiming to keep a draw in this game and then count on scoring more goals against the other two opponents in the group to secure top spot on goal difference.

This goal is realistic.

But how could Yelo let them succeed?

So Schalke 04's stubborn defense only lasted 19 minutes.

In the 20th minute of the game, Ye Luo pulled out his foot from outside the penalty area and blasted the ball into the goal.

It was his fifth goal of the season in the Champions League.

Tied with Lionel Messi – but Barcelona haven't played their fourth game yet.

So Ye Luo can't relax either.

And this conceded goal also made Schalke 04's side a little less calm.

They were expecting a stubborn defense to make a hole in Arsenal's long-term attack, but they didn't expect to be breached in less than 20 minutes.

Just when there was some confusion on Schalke 04's side because of the goal conceded.

Ye Luo seized the opportunity.

In the 23rd minute of the game, he gave Monreal to Monreal on the edge of the penalty area, then went straight into the box, received a pass from Monreal, and smashed the ball into the Schalke 04 goal with a header.

Arsenal lead 2-0 at home!!

After falling behind by two goals, Schalke 04 knew that their stubborn strategy was completely bankrupt.

It's not just two goals down that puts them in a very tough situation.

It's their helpless discovery that it's useless for Ye Luo to stick to it.

Keep holding on and hope for luck and no more goals?

Or are you brave enough to press it out, hoping that you will be lucky enough to get a point back?

Schalke 04's head coach, Dutchman Stevens, hesitated for a moment before making a decision: continue to defend, but strengthen the counter-attack.

In other words, Schalke 04 still have to look for an attack when they have the ball.

This decision is very wise, which shows that he has not lost his mind and has not rushed to press up and attack - otherwise with the state of Yelo in this game, Schalke 04 will die a miserable death.

And if you continue to defend it, the dignified Bundesliga giants Schalke will inevitably be a little too faceless.

So we have to keep defending, but we can't defend to the death, but we have to have some offense.

However, although Schalke 04 launched some attacks, it was really a little attacking threat.

Instead, he lost the ball again in front of Ye Luo.

Before the end of the first half, Yelo's breakthrough resulted in a free-kick, and then he took it upon himself to score his first direct free-kick goal for Arsenal!

"Yelo !!"

The narrators roared in their long voices.

"Nice arc! Beautiful goal! Soccer ball hangs in the dead end! ”

"Hat-trick! Hat trick!! Before the end of the first half, Ye Luo had already scored a hat trick! He has already scored his seventh goal in the Champions League this season! Overtook Messi by two goals! ”

"He's still the same Yelo! The one who made all of Europe tremble at his feet!! ”

In the roar of the narrators.

The first half of the game was over.

The Schalke 04 players all had a sense of relief.

But the thought of forty-five minutes left in the second half made them frown.

In fact, Schalke 04 couldn't find much of a goal in the second half.

However, in the second half, Yelo did not continue to score - he regained his midfield to find a feeling of playing in midfield and prepare for the next game.

But even so.

Yelo also provided two assists in the second half, setting up Cazorla and substitute Theo Walcott.

As a result, Yelo's tally of assists in this season's Champions League has reached four.

In both the scorer and assists charts, he is number one!

This consistent output for three seasons in a row.

Nowadays, more and more people believe that Ye Luo is the best player in the world today!
