Chapter 45: Promote strengths and avoid weaknesses
Sergio Aguero was indeed very positive in this game.
As soon as the game started, he had a shot on the line of the penalty area!
The soccer ball flew towards the goal on turf.
Although the ball speed is not particularly fast, the angle is extremely tricky, and it is a very difficult boccia ball for the goalkeeper!
Aguero's marksmanship is superb.
The Argentine center forward was known as a striker when he played for Atletico Madrid.
Now joining Manchester City, he is considered one of the best scorers in the entire Premier League.
This shot just now is a good reflection of his superb shooting skills.
Facing Arsenal's tight defence, Aguero was ready to shoot when he stopped the ball.
The left-footed stop is just right in front of him, just enough to step out with his left foot, and the right foot can be directly volleyed!
The soccer ball came against the turf.
Fortunately, Szczesny made a timely save and struggled to pull the ball out of the bottom line.
The Arsenal fans in the stands let out a burst of exclamations.
It was only after seeing Szczesny's brilliant save that there was a round of applause.
Szczesny just had a slight lack of concentration and probably couldn't get his hands on the ball.
"Aguero's shot is sharp!"
Andy Gray said.
"Receiving the ball and adjusting the shot, the action is done in one go, never dragging the mud and water, Arsenal's defense is slightly not in place, and he immediately catches the opportunity! Manchester City almost scored first on the road! ”
"As I said before the game, Aqui is in good shape in this game." Lineker said, "He must be trying to show in front of Yelo, after all, he's the second highest scorer in the Premier League!!" ”
"All focused!!"
Arteta applauded hard to remind his team-mates.
"Can't give him a shot like this!!"
The players in the Arsenal defence nodded their heads.
Manchester City have a luxurious squad.
But the most threatening of them all is centre-forward Sergio Aguero!
The Argentine star is known as the Argentine twin along with Lionel Messi.
He once won the 2008 Northern Capital Olympic championship for Argentina with Messi.
is also a good friend of Messi.
The kind that sleeps together whenever they have the chance.
Same with Messi.
Sergio Aguero also officially entered the public eye at that Olympics.
At that time, the Dragon Kingdom was still in the country for the translation of the names of Aguero and Messi, which was a toss-up.
However, at that time, Aguero was even more famous than Messi - because he was not only the core striker of the Argentine Olympic team at that time, but also the son-in-law of the football king Maradona.
Here is the king of the ball, and here is the daughter of the king of the ball.
Ah Kun is a winner in real life.
And it turns out that capable people can't hide the light.
After 2008.
The two quickly rose to prominence.
In a very short period of time, he became a world-famous superstar.
The Arsenal players certainly know how good Aguero is.
The man who can be called the "twin stars" together with Messi must not be underestimated.
Fabinho breathed a sigh of relief that he had not been able to keep up with his opponent.
He actually has a sense of crisis.
Although he is now the team's main midfielder.
But his rival is N'Golo Kante.
N'Golo Kante is just inexperienced.
This kid is so scary.
There is a danger of overturning his main position at any time.
Facing the competitive pressure of N'Golo Kante.
Fabinho himself is Alexander.
If you can't contribute more on the defensive end.
Arsene Wenger could replace him in the starting line-up at any time.
So this also forced Fabinho to work hard.
However, Fabinho is already a very hard-working player on the field.
He patted his chest: "I won't give him such a chance!" ”
The defenders on Arsenal's side are strengthening communication, how to defend in the face of Aguero's retreat, what to do with Balotelli's side, who pushes out and who takes back, and who intercepts head-on who will help defend.
None of this can be done in advance of the game.
It takes the players to be on the pitch and adapt.
Communication on the football pitch is an important part of this.
In the youth era, almost all youth coaches asked their players to learn to play with their mouths open.
Playing with your mouth closed is a common problem for many Dragon Nation players.
The youth training of the Dragon Kingdom is quite backward, and the domestic sports culture is basically "only those with poor grades go to learn sports", so the seedlings that can be obtained are limited, and the sports mind of football is still very important, which causes many football players in the Dragon Country to look at Yazi who is not very smart.
City were awarded a corner in the opening stages.
David. Silva went to take that corner.
The Spanish midfielder's footwork is quite good.
The quality of his corners was high.
The ball bypassed the front post and fell to the back post.
At the back post, Kompany leaped high and headed the ball towards the middle.
Aguero in the middle followed up with a shot.
The shot flew just over the crossbar with Van Dijk's interference.
Let the Arsenal fans in the stands break out in a cold sweat.
At this point, the camera locks onto the media seat.
Several journalists who are almost recognized as the mouthpieces of Manchester United.
At this time, I am also holding my head and regretting.
All the Mancunians were in the same league in this game.
It's unimaginable.
Manchester United, Manchester City, a pair of sworn enemies in the same city.
At this time, their supporters were actually standing in the same trench.
If it weren't for Arsenal, this would never have happened.
As a matter of fact.
On the Manchester side, it is basically the media that Manchester contacts are arching the fire.
Because they want to get the players of Manchester City to fight.
If this game has to be decided.
Then they must be hoping for Manchester City to win.
Arsenal are just too strong.
For Manchester United supporters, of course.
They would most like this game to be a draw.
This gives Manchester City and Arsenal one point each.
Manchester United also profited.
Aguero's performance was really eye-catching.
In the sixth minute of the game, Manchester City came up with a quick counter-attack.
Yaya Toure advances with the ball.
The midfielder is tall and physical, and his pace is not slow.
He was very good at his feet, taking his way through the centre circle from the back and then splitting the ball up the flank.
Manchester City's formation for this game is a typical 442 formation.
Up front, big center Balotelli partners small center Aguero.
It's a typical combination of one high and one fast.
Balotelli is really fast.
This time it's Balotellira.
Aguero went to the middle to grab a point - it seems that Balotelli is in charge of this game and Aguero is in charge of high.
Balotelli looked inside the pitch after winning the ball on the wing.
Then get up and cross.
Football passes to the front point.
Aguero is fast.
He used his speed to shake off Skrtel and flick his header up front.
The ball was topped up in the side-netting.
"Aguero!! Wow. It's dangerous, Manchester City have created threats three times and twice since the opening, and almost all of them have come from Sergio Aguero! ”
"Aguero's form in this game seems to be fully energized!!"
At this time.
On the screen of the TV broadcast.
Aguero held his head in his hands, a look of regret.
Then he stood up.
A mouthful of spit.
He raised his finger at Balotelli at the far end.
Thumbs up.
It has the essence of Lu Yuanwai.
Soon.
The TV camera switches back.
Gave Yelo a close-up.
The language of the TV is very clear: this game is a war between two super shooters!
Now, Aguero, it's time to make a war call!
Aguero's performance proved to be the case.
He's really in great form for this game.
It is precisely because of Aguero's excellent performance.
Let Arsenal's backline players not dare to press up to support the attack.
Manchester City pose a bigger threat than Arsenal.
This excites Manchester City fans at the same time.
It also made the Arsenal fans in the stands anxious about the team's situation.
Arsenal fans in the stands began to cheer up the players with singing.
The team needs their support at this time.
"Aguero was in great shape today! His presence made the Arsenal defence very uncomfortable! ”
'Manchester Manuel Pellegrini's new boss seems to have found the best solution for City's attack.
The commentators said one after another.
Last season was another no-brainer.
Mancini was fired.
He was replaced by Manuel Pellegrini.
As Yelo's coach in Malaga, Pellegrini certainly knows Yelo well.
He didn't worry too much about how to defend Yelo.
In his opinion, the idea of freezing Ye Luo was simply a brain disease.
Therefore.
His ideas are pragmatic.
is to try not to let Ye Luo have a chance to shoot, but there is no way to be scored by him.
As for City's more energy, it should be on the attacking end.
Yelo didn't contribute much to the defence, and this was City's chance.
And Manchester City does have a lot of people in attack.
Manchester City are simply in the centre of the pitch.
The competitive pressure is considerable.
Now Manchester City have four central strikers.
They are Dzeko, Tevez, Balotelli and Aguero.
These are all first-class centre-forwards.
Each has its own unique skills.
Dzeko's header.
Tevez's punch.
Balotelli's physicality and talent.
Sergio Aguero's technique at his feet and his all-round finishing skills.
Arguably.
Any Manchester City manager will have a very happy problem when he is in charge of this team: who do these stars play?
But football is never as simple as stacking up stars to win games.
Otherwise, the incomparably luxurious Real Madrid of the year.
How can the Galaxy Battleship, which has superstars such as Beckham, Ronaldo, Lobinho, Figo, and Raul, stop in the round of 16 in the Champions League every year.
Find the right players with the right tactics.
in order to exert the maximum power.
It's not that simple, though.
Judging from the effect of the current combination of Aguero and Balotelli.
It is clear that Manchester City has found the "optimal solution" on the front line for the time being.
Although the media and fans still have different opinions, some Dzeko wants to start, and some are upset with Tevez, but it is impossible for Legrini to send Manchester City's four central strikers together in one go.
Judging from the current effect, at least the combination of Balotelli and Aguero is very effective.
The technical capabilities of the two complement each other.
Add to that City's strong midfield.
Manchester City, who are playing away, are not at the bottom of the pack.
On the contrary, it occupies a certain advantage.
In midfield.
Yaya Toure, David. The four midfielders of Silva, Nasri and De Jong have also given Manchester City a certain overall advantage since the beginning of the game.
Especially De Jong.
This is a very aggressive midfielder.
The existence of the butcher is claimed.
From the very beginning of the game.
He stuck next to Ye Luo.
Manuel Pellegrini used De Jong to limit Yelo.
Obviously.
His intention was to hope that De Jong would be able to freeze Yelo completely.
From the beginning of the game to the present.
De Jong did a decent job.
Because at least Yelo didn't get many passes.
Nevertheless.
De Jong did not let his guard down on Yelo either.
After all.
Just hearing the name.
There is no way that anyone in the whole world football will dare to have a contempt.
That's Ye Luo.
this game.
De Jong's task was to keep an eye on Yelo.
Don't care about defending in other positions.
Such.
You can make sure that Ye Luo no matter where he is.
There are people all around me.
Put pressure on him.
It also limits the number of times he can get the ball.
In Pellegrini's opinion.
De Jong may not be able to completely restrain Yelo.
The trick doesn't always succeed – it's something that's been proven countless times before.
But Pellegrini feels the same.
Even if De Jong can't completely restrain Yelo.
At least.
Can interfere with Yelo.
It can reduce the number of times Yelo attacks with the ball.
For Pellegrini.
Arsenal's biggest threat came from the feet of Yelo.
Yelo was able to take the ball one less time.
City's defence will be one less threatened.
It's still a good deal.
In order to avoid De Jong following Yelo in the midfield, Manuel Pellegrini put Yaya Toure behind and David Silva and Nasri forward.
In the midfield, a three-midfield triangle is formed.
At the same time, two full-backs with strong assist ability were used.
At right wing-back, he used England's James Milner.
Milner is a versatile player on the pitch.
Subject to height and technique.
In addition to the two positions of goalkeeper and central defender.
Other locations.
Milner can play.
However, he will still be deployed more on the right flank.
As a right-footed player.
Milner can go up and down, has a lot of energy, defends fiercely and has a cross.
It can be said that it is either a right wing-back or a right-wing-back.
James Milner is a good player among England players.
Put James Milner at right wing-back.
It is to take advantage of his ability to go up and down to enrich tactics.
And on the other side is Kolarov.
is also a player who can go up and down, and can grasp both offense and defense.
So.
Even if De Jong is not in position.
City's defensive system isn't going to be a problem.
In addition, the centre-back combination is the young Colo Toure and Kompany.
This pair of centre-backs is also a bit more stable than last season's Manchester City defender pairing.
And so it goes.
Manchester City in every position.
Someone can match the point.
This is also the reason why they have not fallen behind for more than ten minutes since the opening.
Manuel Pellegrini had apparently studied Yelo very closely.
He felt.
The key to limiting Yelo.
It's all about the ball.
If the ball is more at the feet of Manchester City.
Arsenal had few chances to get possession.
That means that Ye Luo has fewer chances.
So.
Manchester City have the possibility of winning - if Arsenal's advantage is to have an almost unsolvable explosion like Yelo, then Manchester City's advantage lies in the strength of the overall squad.
Football tactics.
It's about finding a way to play to your strengths and at the same time make the other person's strengths incompatible.
